Why Are You So Weak

" Who said that?"

The scarred man looked around him. Looking for the voice that challenged him.

" It's me."

The same smooth voice came from the black ball of slime that was on the lap of the receptionist earlier.

Kuba, who was the scarred man, looked down on the slime while chuckling to himself.

' What is a pip squeak like him doing challenging me.'

" Hey, stop joking around or you will regret it."

Though Kuba didn't know much about this blob, the thought of their different situations just pissed him off.

The black ball seemed to like what he heard as it started jiggling up and down.

" Who says I'm joking around. Let's have a quick fight."

Kuba, taking a look at the black ball, couldn't help but look down on him with his cute appearance.

' This guy is probably still at level 1. He probably runs away after encountering a monster.'

Kuba smiled at the thought of taking a few whirls on this annoying ball.

" Fine, I could use a stress ball to relax right now."

" Hell yeah, that's the spirit. Let's go right now!"

While they were getting pumped up for a fight they started attracting the attention of the nearby people.

Eventually monsters and players were gathering around them as Dean jumped up from Aurora's lap.

" Before we start, let us set some ground rules."

Dean started speaking once he reached the wooden ground to announce some of the rules that he wanted to set beforehand.

" The first is that we wouldn't kill the other person, just get them to 1% or either they surrender."

" The second is that before we start fighting we both have to say our level to see the difference between us."

" Fine if that's what you want, little man."

Kuba quickly replied not paying too much attention to the rules while smiling with cruelty.

Just as they were about to start they were interrupted by Aurora who was behind them.

" There is no fighting allowed in the front lobby."

" If you want to fight you can go into the training room."

After the interruption, Kuba along with Dean went to the do called training room. The room was spacious and had a lot of different equipment to test the strength and abilities of the people in the room.

At the center of the room was a boxing ring like elevated platform. With each of them getting into the opposite side of each other, they waited until the crowd of people that followed them settled down.

" If you want to make some quick money, come to the betting table and take your chances."

"I'll put 10 coins on the scarred man."

" I'll put 40 on the scarred man."

" I'll bet against the odds and put 20 on the ball."

The guild started a betting system near the ring as the crowd quickly took part in it. Though the majority of people thought that Kuba would win this fight.

All of this boosted Kuba's ego as he pointed at Dean and gave him a thumbs down.

After people the bets started slowing down, the match could officially start with each of them announcing their level.

" I am Dean or you could call me your Majesty. I'm level 2."

'I thought that being this confident to challenge me he would be at a higher level.'

Grinning at hearing his level, Kuba slowly spoke his level.

" You better take notes. My name is Kuba and I'm level 4."

After saying their names and levels the battle officially began. However, Kuba didn't immediately attack Dean, instead he just kept making taunting jokes.

Kuba kept his smug smile as he watched the black ball start to transform and grow.

The black ball grew until it surpassed Kuba's height before it started to transform into a Demonic being.

The innocent ball quickly changed into a monster that was packed with muscle and was covered in spikes.

It's claws were so long and sharp that they seemed that they could rip him apart.

The mouth-like thing on the face of the monster had sawed multi layered teeth that would rip anything that entered.

The most terrifying were the different specks that resembled the eyes of different species and creatures in its body.

As Kuba watched this unbelievable scene his smug smile froze as he watched in horror. It wasn't just him though the entire crowd and all the workers, who were collecting bets, were speechless.

" Where did that cute little black ball go and where did this monster come from?"

' What the F**k!*

Kuba couldn't help but panic a little when he saw the shocking transformation.

' However I'm still at a higher level than him so this should be a cake walk.'

Though Kuba thought that his confidence began to dip as he heard a ding.

* Ding! You have been affected by the ability Frighten!*

* Spirit Check. Check Fail!*

* You have been given a debuff on Strength, Defense, dexterity, spirit, and magic.*

' F**k! But I still should still be stronger.'

Kuba, trying to calm himself down, started taking the monster in front of him seriously. Taking a deep breath, Kuba charged at the gigantic monster throwing a punch.

When his punch reached half way, the monster underwent another transformation, its arms became slimmer and long like whips.

Swinging its new limbs, before Kuba could react they reach him first, colliding into his chest creating a deep thud sound.

* Thud*

*Ding! You have taken damage from the skill Limb Transformation.*

* Ding! You have taken bonus whip damage.*

* Defense check! Check Failure!*

* Critical damage check. Check Fail.*

* You have taken 30% damage to your total health.*

The force of the whip threw Kuba back to his side of the platform and collided with the ropes.

' How is he so strong for a level 2!'

While Kuba was completely scared at how the small slime ball became this terrifying strong monster, he heard a eerie smooth voice come from the opposite side of the ring.

" Why are you so weak?"

" Did you lie about your level to impress everyone?"

" You know how about I let you get a free hit so you can feel a bit better about yourself."
