[You've arrived at Floor 69!]
The world was a vast ocean. Lightning fell from the sky every few seconds and heavy rain was rapidly pouring down from the grey and gloomy sky.
Kris was on a boat by himself. The boat was just a little canoe with no space for two people.
In the far sea's, a gigantic silhouette was the only thing that could be seen. It engulfed the whole northern area and went beyond the clouds.
Kris gaze then shifted upward.
"Hmm?"
A large tentacle the size of a whole mountain came downwards, aiming to crush Kris and his small boat.
"*Sigh*" Kris sighed and summoned his weapon. "They say you should fight fire with fire. So what about where with water."
[Weapon:
Aqua Cleaver (Cleave) - Mystical/Level 1]
The water below began to float into the air in large portions and then flied into the sky. The water formed a curved blade and clashed against the tentacle. In the end, the water sliced the tentacle in half and the detached half fell down towards the ocean.
Before it could land, Kris exited the canoe and full on sprint towards the giant of giants.
[Active Skill:
Instantaneous Acceleration - Unique/Level 5 (MAX)]
[Active Skill:
Mana Manipulation - Rare/Level 5 (MAX)]
Kris coded his feet in Mana and dashed across the ocean at a speed that slightly matched light.
Suddenly, droplets of water formed in the air and began to spring up towards the sky. The water in the air then connected to the ocean, creating large pillars of liquid that exited the atmosphere.
Kris's control over water wasn't his own talent, obviously, but the talent that he had over weapons. He was harnessing the full power of Aqua, the weapon he held in his hands.
Kris had no talent for magic or physical strength. He also lacked the sense of hard work and the potential to exceed his limits on his own. The only talent he wield in his arsenal was the ability to draw out the full extent of his gear and utilize them. With his vast knowledge of weapons he could picture the most effective way to use them.
He halted in his tracks. The ocean was being drained as a infinite amount of pillars of water as far as the eye could see filled the view.
Kris looked upwards at the sky which had water floating upwards almost everywhere and little water droplets drizzling on his face.
Kris opened his mouth and said, "That should be enough."
Kris dropped his weapon downwards, still holding it his hands.
The pillars of water then turned thin and sharp. They all began to move forward at an accelerating pace.
Kris's aim was to create a source that was tall enough as his foe. By using the water from the ocean, the water vapor from the air and the droplets of rain water from the sky, he managed to create millions of pillars the size he presumed was of his foe. With his control over water, he made the pillars thinner and more condensed, making them sharp and sent them towards the giant.
"Did I hear something?" Kris inquired.
He did. It was the faint noise of the giant's being severed.
Suddenly, the pure and lovely rain stop falling and was replaced by an unholy and bloody mess. Rain of blood and gore began to fall from the sky. Limbs, tentacles, eyes and chunks of flesh with large veins the size of a truck fell from the air.
Kris sighed and cursed, "*Sigh* Damnit. I guess I couldn't control the outcome of that attack."
The water splashed as the body parts fell. The next second, a head the size of a whole large country fell in front of Kris.
It had a mouth with only forty sharp teeth the size of large islands and three eyes the size, four times the size of its teeth. It entire size of its mouth was over a hundred kilometers.
It spoke weakly, "H.. HUMAN!!"
Its voice echoing to the point the either plant could her its words.
It continued, "P-PLEASE, SPARE MY LIFE!!!"
Kris covering his nose and left ear said, "Why should I?"
The eyes of the creature then rolled upwards and began to cry tears of blood.
"I CAN BE OF SERVICE TO YOU!!!"
"I don't need service. I've survived on my own just fine," said Kris. "(Even though the Clear Condition was to survive ten minutes, why should I not kill this thing? It's a Monster after all, no less than an item.)"
"A.. A.. A COMPANION!! ANYTHING!!!!!!" The creatures voice raised as its remaining nerves were filled with fear.
Kris then narrowed his eyes and asked, "How? My Class says otherwise."
"I CAN MAKE A CONTRACT!!"
The giant eyes then went back down and peered at Kris.
"IT WOULD ALLOW ME TO BE PLACED IN YOUR INVENTORY!!!"
"(Now, everything knows about the System, yeah?)" Kris inquired inwardly.
"Ok, you'll be my pet and your name is Leviathan from now on."

"Huh?"
It was a once again a rainy scenario except the ground was solid. The world was shrouded by green land and large trees the size of a building. The grey and dull moon in the sky slowly made its way upwards and as it did, it got brighter and brighter.
One the grassy ground, their were ten individuals. Five males and five females.
Two males could me recognized as Efriet and Eden; the others identity were unknown. They were individual Souls of Kris's ten Weapons that he had in his Inventory. They were all unconscious.
One opened his eyes which were green. He got up and scratched the back of his head. Suddenly, he fell back down weakly or lazily.
"I don't want to wake up," he said.
It was Bo which was once a Staff. It had brown hair with parts that looked like leafs, green eyes and an attire suiting a hobo in the wild. His clothing was brown and they had tears with branches, and he wore black slippers on his feet.
Other was Aqua, who was a sleep with her eyes opened. She had dark blue hair and eyes with an attire suiting a woman in the medieval era. She was dressed like a princess, but her dress was tight with black, yellow dark blue and white designs. The slippers and her feet was also white.
Transcendent was the first to actually got up.
She frowned as she couldn't speak but her body language said it all. She was confused about the predicament she was in.
She had white hair, blue eyes and an attire fitting a tomboy. A white blouse and dark baggy pants.
One was fast asleep and snoring out loud. It was once a bow and arrow named Gun. It was a lady and had dark hair and brown eyes. Also wearing a black blouse and blue jeans shorts.
[Note: I use to call pants shorts but now I say pants when they fit the entire bottom half of a person and shorts when it fit some of it.]
Another one was a spear and was named Kyo. His hands were covered in thin chains and his attire was a black shirt, grey solder-like pants with a red ribbon on his waist. His hair was white with a hint of black complemented with his red eyes.
Escrima was a woman, were Weapon being a tough stick that could shatter the toughest material. She had a light brown hair and yellow eyes with a track suit that was black and had white and red lines going down from the shoulder.
Gouyo was a male which was once a sai. A sai is a three bladed weapon with one main blade and two short ones. He had a dark brown suit with spiralling yellow lines coming downward and same colored pants that had red designs.
Finally, was Llina, a metal whip. She had long silver hair, eyes and attire that looked like pajamas. It had designs of nine individually dragons with distinctive colors and scales.
Those were all the Weapons that Kris had and will only have in his arsenal. In this Quest, he would find out which one had the most strength and power.
Even though Kris wasn't apart of the Quest, he was like a specter that could see everything. But he couldn't do anything.
