?
A few hours ago, a few seconds after the appearance of the world announcement.
'I guess there is no hiding it.' Adam thought to himself. 'This will bring some heat in my direction, but fuck it.'
After his thoughts, Calamity's body evaporated into pixels, and on the place of his corpse, a couple of skill and spell scrolls appeared.
One of the scrolls was the Thousand-Arm Monster of Armageddon transformation skill!
It glowed with a slight hue of gold as it was a legendary-ranked skill.
Then, there was a brownish pouch filled with shinecoins.
After picking it up and transferring them to his interface, a shocking amount of shinecoins appeared on his account!
[+1,675,566 Shinecoins!]
'Why was he carrying so many shinecoins?' Adam wondered and then thought about a possibility.
'He must've gone and taken his share of slavery/underground money before coming here to do the speech. Lucky me, I guess.'
After storing the scrolls, he decided to check them out later.
He wasn't sure whether he was going to use the Thousand-Arm Monster of Armageddon skill for himself.
It was powerful, sure, but it didn't work with his fighting style.
'I could use it and have it as my trump card.' Adam thought with a shrug of his shoulders.
However, his share of surprises didn't end.
Ding, ding!
[The Rain of the Blessing has rewarded you after your victory!]
'Oh right, the reward.' Adam looked in the air, awaiting the reward.
[You have killed Calamity Black!]
[100,000 XP Acquired!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[Level 21 ? 22]
[LEVEL UP!]
[Level 22 ? 23]
[LEVEL UP!]
[Level 23-24]
[LEVEL UP!
[Level 24 ? 25!]
[You're transcending!]
[Calculating your strength...]
[1%...]
[2%...]
'100,000 experience points?!' Adam's heart started beating in excitement. 'I've achieved level 25! Now, the system will calculate my current strength and give me a rank befitting of my strength.'
It would take some time for his strength to be calculated, but still, his excitement didn't die down.
'Prime Mercenary, maybe?' Adam grinned.
There was a possibility that his strength was now on the same level as his past life self.
It would be astonishing!
Ding, ding!
Another notification appeared before his eyes.
[Your luck has increased 100% for the next 24 hours!]
'The Rain of the Blessing gives rewards that the player needs the most.' Adam thought with a smile. 'I got two rewards? How kind of you. First, enough experience points to reach my goal, and now luck for...'
After opening his inventory, he took out a silver chest that he found on the island of the crying woman.
There was another way of increasing his luck, but that would've only increased his luck by 50%.
He planned to seek that out after he finished with the 50th floor, but now he had a great opportunity, and he couldn't pass that by!
Without further ado, Adam ripped the chest open, and like a lottery wheel, thousands of items flashed by his eyes in a holographic display.
After a short moment, it stopped on a golden pill.
[You received the enlightenment pill!]
'No way...'
The pill appeared on top of his hand, and it felt warm and holy.
He cracked a smile and wanted to swallow it right away, but he put it back in his inventory as he didn't want to waste a single second of enlightenment.
He wanted to do it behind closed doors.
'With this, I could perhaps reach level 4 of Magick. I've got to focus on that because those three legendary skills I've got to try to learn!'
He was already extremely happy with his current score, but then he heard some loud clapping. Three figures walked over from the crimson castle. They seemed well-off with jewelry adorning their bodies and fancy clothing.
Unlike the rest of the commonborn Originals, none of them seemed like they'd seen a moment of hunger in their lives.
"Impressive, most impressive." Waleed said with a smile. "You killed our ruthless ruler, I
applaud you."
With his back bending, he bowed like a proper gentleman.
The beautiful-faced Khashifa bowed in courtesy, a gentle blush spread across her cheeks, making her look even more radiant than usual.
Yusriyah didn't share her looks, but her bow was just as graceful and respectful.
"Who're you three?" Adam asked with a frown.
"My name's Waleed, the King of Bloodshed." He said. "I am the commander of Calamity's
army." "Khashifa, the Queen of Pleasure." Khashifa said with a beautiful smile. "I rule the pleasure district. I'm sure you'll find my kingdom quite enjoyable."
"Yusriyah, the Queen of Gambling." The short-haired woman said. "I am in control of Sevenfold's largest gambling district. My faction is the biggest earner of the four ruling
kingdoms."
Waleed and Khashifa didn't change their expressions, but their eyebrows clearly twitched. They didn't like that she was already boasting about how useful she was. "There's also Fakhir, the King of the Slavery, but unfortunately, he seems to be late to the meeting." Waleed said. "Now that you've taken the throne for yourself, we could discuss
some business."
"I saw that you took Calamity's share of our business." Yusriyah said. "That's only the pleasure district's share. He felt exhausted after his journey here, so he went there to relax
and took his share as well.
"With all four kingdoms combined, your share would be immense, and that shall be yours, as long you're willing to offer us your protection."
"Oh, is that so?" Adam chuckled.
"By the way, that's only a month's worth." Waleed said with a proud smile. "In a year's time,
you could make more money than you ever dreamed of."
"Hmm..." Adam stood silently, thinking about something.
At that moment, he heard a thrilled voice. "Adam!" Raquel came running in, a giant smile on her face. "You did it!"
However, her bubbly excitement slowly died down as she noticed the three people, and
quickly hid behind Adam.
"Traitors!" Raquel screamed. "You betrayed my family and our entire race!"
"Raquel Starborn, still alive," Khashifa giggled. "I heard that Fakhir captured you. You were supposed to become my new toy in the pleasure district. How did you escape?"
"Grr..." Raquel turned to Adam and shouted. "These three betrayed everyone for profit and money. They're also culprits of everyone's misery!"
"Silent down, kid." Waleed said coldly. "Adults are talking. Like I said, if you give us your protection, we can give you anything you want."
"Adam..." Raquel looked at him in shock. "You couldn't possibly be thinking about..."
From the end of the street, the Originals walked, excitement in their faces as they all believed
that their misery was over.
The days of the pain were over!
"So, what's your answer?" Waleed asked with a smile.
"Hmm..." Adam looked over to the street and saw Otis returning with his family, all smiles.
At that moment, Raquel grabbed his arm and pleaded. "Please don't betray us too. If you do, I don't think any of us can handle that."
Adam smiled, shook his head, and patted her on the head. "Come on. I just gave them a chance
to say their final words."
"S-sir?" Waleed's eyes widened in surprise.
Raquel looked at him starry-eyed and then saw him pull his greatsword.
With a swing, the three rulers of the underground got cut into million pieces. Not a single
piece of them was left intact.
