FIRST FLOOR TRAIL GROUND - DAY.
There were over a hundred people from various races who came to clear this floor. Both Ren and Luna were among them.
Everyone needed to clear this floor to climb to the next level. However, if someone had already cleared this floor before, there was no need for them to do it again; they could come and go between floors after serving their penalty.
Suddenly, in front of everyone, a message from the system popped up.
*****************************
[DING…]
[QUEST: KILL AS MANY MONSTERS AS POSSIBLE IN 3 HOURS FROM THAT MONSTER KINGDOM.]
[LEAST REQUIREMENTS TO PASS THIS FLOOR: KILL 10 MONSTERS OF LEVEL 6 OR 6 MONSTERS OF LEVEL 7 OR 2 MONSTERS OF LEVEL 8 OR AT LEAST 1 LEVEL 9 MONSTER.]
[THE HIGHER THE KILL, THE HIGHER THE REWARDS. AFTER THE TIME LIMIT EXPIRES, ONE CAN ACCESS THEIR REWARDS AND THE GATE TO THE SECOND FLOOR.]
[TIME LIMIT: 3 HOURS]
*****************************
Everyone gulped down their saliva in fear, especially since most climbers here were low level, making it seemingly impossible to clear this floor with their current strength.
....
"Hey? What happened with the quest this time?"
"I don't know, man. A month ago when I came here just to take a look, the quest minimum requirements were just to kill 2 level 2 monsters. But why did that change now?"
"I am so screwed! I don't wish to clear this floor anymore; I will stay on this floor until the system fixes this bug."
"Yeah, you are right. We shouldn't try to risk our lives clearing this floor; this must be a bug that will most likely be fixed next month. We should try to clear it then."
"Yeah, who cares about this nonsense quest; I quit."
"Count me in..."
"Count me in..."
...
Most climbers that came to clear this floor left seeing there was some kind of problem with this quest. Still, around 10 remained, including both Ren and Luna.
"Master!!! Isn't this quest too easy?" Luna asked naively, not realizing the difficulty was due to their strength.
"Who cares; let's destroy this whole monster kingdom first," Ren replied with a smirk, hugging Luna tightly. Suddenly, both of them vanished from that place as if they weren't there in the first place.
(Half an Hour Later...)
THE MONSTER KINGDOM CASTLE - KING'S ROOM - DAY.
Ren stood on top of a goblin with a crown on its head, larger and stronger than other goblins.
"Sigh, have you taken care of monsters outside the castle?" Ren asked calmly, looking in Luna's direction.
"Aye! Aye! Master!" Luna replied in a cute tone.
"Hmm, what about those who decided to clear this floor with us?" Ren asked calmly, scanning the area for something useful.
"Master, there were around 10 people beside us who came to clear this floor."
"And by using my sensing skill, I have confirmed that 3 out of 10 have died in the forest, while the other 4 have formed a group and are currently fighting a level 6 Red Buffalo."
"Surprisingly, the other two were able to get out of the forest; one of them was an orc, and the other was a human; currently, they are exploring the destroyed monster kingdom," Luna informed professionally; Ren was a bit shocked to see someone clear the forest this easily.
His sixth sense already told him there was someone strong among this group, but since he couldn't tell who, he left that thought to rest and ordered Luna to keep an eye on them with her wide-range sensing skill.
"Hmm, it seems one of those two gave me that feeling; anyway, now that we are done here, let's go greet them." Ren replied with an evil smirk.
Luna could only gulp down her saliva; lust could be seen on her face, as for some reason, she always gets turned on whenever Ren showed his dark side.
THE CURRENT DESTROYED MONSTER KINGDOM - DAY.
A massive, over two-meter-tall orc strolled casually with a giant sword on his back. What made him unique among orcs was his unusual appearance. He had green skin like any other orc but had a more human-like, fit physique and strikingly handsome features with long hair. Walking beside him was a beautiful human woman who clearly adored him.
"What is it, Nevare? Anything you wish to ask?" That orc asked with a gentle smile on his face.
"Nothing, husband; it's just I was fascinated seeing how strong you were.." Nevare replied with a cheerful expression.
"Haha, of course, I am strong; I am your husband after all. And how can I create my own empire if I am weak." The orc named Moku replied jokingly, but anyone can tell he was very serious about his response. Nevare just smiled at the response, as this determination of his was something that made her love him so much.
"Anyway, don't you think this place is too big but at the same time completely empty? Now that I think about it, I can't feel a single life force around me; this should be the monster kingdom, right?" Moku asked curiously and out of nowhere he put on his guard as he realized there was someone who is observing them.
"W-What happened, husband?" Nevare asked nervously as she hasn't seen Moku this tensed before. But Moku didn't reply and just looked at his front like someone was there.
Then Nevare looked at the same direction where Moku was looking at and saw two people standing calmly as if their presence isn't even a bit threatening to them.
