I always admired the powerful heroes that protect the innocents against the crazy strong monsters that terrorize our world. One day, I will gain a high level ability and become one of those heroes I admire. Is what I expected, but what can I do with my level one ability?! No matter, with hard work and perseverance, I will surpass this crappy level system and become a hero!

Level One Isn't Weak!

Thirty minutes passed until the two reached a checkpoint. A group of guards were stationed in a room dug out of the wall. However, they were taken out without much trouble.


"Phew… Want to take a breather?" [Sin]


It appeared that the guards used a few boxes to sit on, so Adam took the liberty to use it.


"Not much. I think five minutes left if we walk." [Sin]


Pulling out some kind of dark shriveled object out of the guard's pouch, he tossed it to Adam.


He took the jerky and knocked it against one of the guard's armor, causing it to let out a metallic ring.


Adam looked at it strangely, then took a bite with much hesitation.


Forcing the jerky down his throat, Adam wiped his mouth.


"By the way, what are we gonna do when we get out?" [Adam]


"I would say we part ways, but it fills me with anxiety if I leave a no-brainer like you unsupervised." [Sin]


"Just so you know, it's not very smart to go around without a weapon. You should take one from the guards." [Sin]


Adam took a look at what the guards held, but he was reluctant to take anything.


"I've never used a spear before. Plus, you broke all their swords. Which is the only weapon I've used." [Adam]


"That's fine. Spears are for beginners." [Sin]


Picking up a random spear, he inspected it.


It seemed like a mass produced weapon. A black handle, and a simple spearhead forged out of iron. The end of the spear handle was just a simple circular ball for either blunt damage or balancing the weight of the weapon.


"Ah. Before we go, do you want some bread?" [Sin]


"Sure-wait. Is it a rock again?" [Adam]


Sin tossed him an oval shaped object. Adam then stared at it while wondering why its color was so dark.


Without saying a word, he smacked it against a nearby guard's armor. Fortunately, there wasn't much of a metallic ring, but it did leave a dent.


After they took their break, they continued to ascend the stairs.


The two rushed forward, only to stop when Sin grabbed Adam by the shoulder.


Pointing forward, Adam saw a figure appear at the top of the stairs.


There stood a man clad in red armor. There were bits and pieces that seemed to be missing, and cracks within the seams.


"How far you have fallen, Arthur." [Man Clad In Red Armor]


Adam glanced between the two, confused as to what was happening.


Looking towards the man clad in red armor, a bead of sweat rolled down his face.


"Typhon, you wouldn't happen to turn a blind eye to us leaving?" [Arthur]
