"I don't have anywhere to go, Nicholas." I replied, slashing a werewolf's face.
I had been wandering around this deserted place for hours, but wherever I went, only monsters were there. Not that I was worried or something. It didn't mattered what type of monsters appeared before me, my summons always took care of them.
"Nicholas, could you show me my status plate?"

"Still locked huh?" I said wondering about the locked summons. "At least their levels are showing now. WILL YOU STOP SQUIRMING, FUCKING MAGGOT!" I shouted at the supposed leader of werewolves. These idiots thought it would be a good idea to attack a lone human, too bad they didn't know what they were up against.
"You won't be able to leave this cave alive, HUMAN!" The werewolf howled.
Did he just...
"How can you speak human language?"
*PING*
********************
YOU'VE ACQUIRED A NEW SKILL:
MONSTER TONGUE
IT ALLOWS YOU TO COMMUNICATE WITH VARIOUS SPECIES.
********************
So that's why I understood what this idiot was speaking. Since I'll be living among monsters for a while, it's a handy skill to have.
"Who'll kill me now?" I laughed. "All your pesky little soldiers are dead now."
"Hmph, you think we are the owners of this cave?" He crackled. "We werewolves were just a patrolling group."
I checked in with Nicholas, it clearly said this guy was the Werewolf King. How come he is in a measly patrolling group?
"But you're supposed to be their king. What the hell are you doing in a patrolling group?"
I asked.
"Just think about who you're up against, human. She's someone who defeated a Werewolf King, and deemed me to be only worthy of leading a measly force of werewolves. Now you'll see what sh-"
SLASH!
"You talk too much." I said as the werewolf's head rolled down the cave.
Werewolves were supposedly prideful creatures, specially the King. And to force someone like that into a simple guard whoever this 'she' was, she had to be super strong. I smiled. This is going to be fun.
I started going deeper and deeper into to the cave, but there were no monsters anywhere.
it feels weird, like someone is staring at me.
*Nicholas, scan the surrounding area for any monsters, could you?* I thought.
********************
WE'RE BEING FOLLOWED BY GOBLINS.
********************
Goblins, huh? Looks like the werewolf wasn't lying after all. It's a good chance to test my new spell out. I swiftly turned around chanting the spell: "STARFIRE BARRAGE", hundreds of fiery bullets emerged from my finger tips, lighting up the goblins, the smell of burning flesh filled the cave. I thought it would be enough to kill them and turned to leave. Which turned out to be a mistake.
As soon as I turned around I felt a piercing pain on my right shoulder. The suckers had bow and arrows with them. Luckily, the arrow couldn't go deep and I easily pulled it out. I opened my inventory and grabbed THE BLADES OF CALAMITY. This puny beasts were about to get it.
********************
SWORD SKILL : BLOODLUST HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
USER SKILL : HASTE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
********************
Haste spell did exactly what the name suggests, it increase my movement speed to inhumane levels. Making it easier to deal with a large mob such as the one in front of me.
"HOW MANY GOBLINS ARE THERE?" I asked Nicholas.
********************
HEAT SIGNATURE OF 150 GOBLINS FOUND.
********************
"Keep counting." I smiled as I rushed in. The goblins started shooting more and more arrows at me, too bad for them it wasn't inflicting any damage because...
********************
PASSIVE SKILL : ENRAGED HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
The user is now immune to any damage for 10 seconds duration can be increased up to 60 seconds by inflicting damage to enemies.
********************
The goblins started to panic, as more and more of their arrows were getting wasted. But I wasn't done yet.
********************
SWORD SKILL : SYMPHONY HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
Each attack that successfully inflicts damage to the enemy adds +10 PHYSICAL DAMAGE to the next attack, up to 20 times. But if the chain of attacks is broken, the effect will reset.
********************
Like anyone if these goblins would be able to block my attacks. The cave was soon filled with the screams of the goblins.
********************
YOU HAVE DEFEATED THE GOBLIN HORDE.
AS PER YOUR REQUEST, THE REWARDS HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY ADDED IN YOUR INVENTORY.
********************
The path was covered in goblin blood, and so was me. I thought killing monsters would soothe my pain, but it didn't.
"More... Blood." I whispered.
I looked around, everything was still, nothing was moving. I cleaned my blades on a goblin corpse and walked deeper into the cave.
After walking for over an hour, a message popped up.
********************
HEAT SIGNATURE OF 51 OGRES FOUND.
PROBABILITY OF YOUR SURVIVAL : 00.00%
RECOMMENDED ACTION :
TO SUMMON CERBERUS KNIGHT, BRUNO, AND ESCAPE.
IT'S STRICTLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU FOLLOW THE SYSTEM'S ADVICE.
********************
Probability of survival 0%? It's a joke right? Ogres were supposed to be just a bit stronger than high ranking Orcs. If I could take down 600 of Orcs when I was low levelled, taking down 51 ogres now, couldn't be that hard.
"Your system is rotten, Nicholas. Go and upgrade yourself." I laughed and stepped inside the chamber made of rocks. One of the ogre saw me the moment I stepped in and charged at me.
********************
SWORD SKILL : BLOODLUST HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
USER SKILL : HASTE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
********************
SLASH
The ogre went down in one strike. Huh, maybe Nicholas really malfunctioned, killing these ogres was not any tougher than killing those goblins.
********************
SWORD SKILL : SYMPHONY HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
********************
The room echoed with the sounds of clashing swords and shields. The ogres put up a tough fight but the end result remained the same. Every monster was slain by my hands.
"Probability of survival: 0%, MY ASS!" I shouted as last ogre fell. Then the another message popped up.
********************
HEAT SIGNATURE OF 1 OGRES FOUND.
PROBABILITY OF YOUR SURVIVAL : 00.00%
RECOMMENDED ACTION :
TO SUMMON CERBERUS KNIGHT, BRUNO, AND ESCAPE.
IT'S STRICTLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU FOLLOW THE SYSTEM'S ADVICE.
********************
I looked around, all the ogres were dead. No one was inside the chamber except me.
"Nicholas, it's not-"
Something punched me so hard, I crashed into a stone pillar, the air in my lungs got sucked out. My swords slipped from my hands. I barely managed to pull myself to look at the one capable of manhandling me like a sack of potatoes.
********************
OGRE GOD DEITY : VRUUKOR HAS APPEARED
IF ENGAGED,
PROBABILITY OF SURVIVAL: 00.00%
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
TO ESCAPE.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION :
NO WEAKNESS FOUND.
********************
I looked at the message, no way this guy has no weakness... there must be something! I needed time, maybe if all of us attack him at the same time... yes that must work. I summoned all monsters I had.
The Ogre saw them and started growing, bigger and bigger, towering over Goliath himself. Bruno and Hades charged at him, but it took the Ogre one punch to destroy both if them into pieces.
********************
YOUR SUMMON(S) :
HADES AND BRUNO HAVE BEEN DESTROYED.
TIME REQUIRED TO RESURRECT:
4 HOURS.
********************
The Ogre then went for Arabella, and threw a punch at her. But this time, Goliath caught it. Maybe all wasn't lost yet, maybe just maybe he can pull it off. I was struggling to get up, but somehow I managed to get back on my feet and grab my swords. Just then another message popped up.
********************
YOUR SUMMON(S) :
GOLIATH HAVE BEEN DESTROYED.
TIME REQUIRED TO RESURRECT:
4 HOURS.
********************
I looked up to see a sword had pierced him in the abdomen, his lifeless body still clinging to the Ogre's arm. Arabella after seeing this, frantically started casting spells at the Ogre, but in vain.
The Ogre walked up to her, lifted his legs over her head and crushed her.
********************
YOUR SUMMON(S) :
ARABELLA HAVE BEEN DESTROYED.
TIME REQUIRED TO RESURRECT:
4 HOURS.
********************
"NOOOOO!" I shouted charging at the Ogre.
********************

********************
I threw everything I had at him, but nothing no burn marks, not even a scratch. The Ogre swung his sword.
SPURT
His sword got stuck in my stomach. He forcefully retracted his sword, as I was coughed blood. I stumbled and fell down as the Ogre prepared to deal the final blow.
*This is it then.* I thought. *Even after getting so strong, I'm still a weak human after all.*
"Do you want to survive?"
*Nicholas is that you?*
"I'm afraid that's not who I am." A voice echoed. "Do you want to survive?"
*What's the point in it, the ogre will kill me again.*
"Then do you want to kill him?" The voice asked.
*I tried, but I'm not powerful enough*
"Would you accept my power?"
*Would I be able to kill him?* I asked.
"It depends on you, I can only give you the tools to do so. What you do with them is up to you."
The voice answered. "I shall ask you again. WOULD YOU ACCEPT MY POWERS?"
*Yes*
In the fading light a message appeared.
*********************
REQUIREMENT MET:
ON THE VERGE OF DEATH.
AUTO SUMMONING:
SOUL OF THE DEMON KING XORZORUD.
*********************
My body got covered in a red mist that was seeping through the daisy white ring. My body absorbed the mist, and started to morph. The Ogre swung his sword once again.
CLANK
The Ogre's sword got shattered into pieces, just one punch was all it took. I looked at my body. I was covered in a reddish black armour from head to toe with wings extending from my back.
The Ogre seeing his sword shattered, took couple of steps backwards and roared.
"I'm the one hunting you now." I said grabbing my swords, and flew straight towards his face.
SLASH
I was so fast, even the GOD OF OGRES, couldn't react. One of the Ogre's eyes were dangling out.
The ogre in pain, swung his hands trying to crush me, A big mistake, which he soon realised as he lost both of his hands, a moment later.
"How could you, you're nothing but a human, an insect! How did you get so powerful!" The Ogre shouted in pain.
"I'm not a human, not anymore." I whispered.
"You pesky little runt!" The ogre shouted, and opened his mouth, wanting to eat me alive. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"
"I'M THE DEMON KING!" I shouted slicing his head off.
