Fatal Flaw

I didn't even know where I took the hit from unless it was from the first time that he hit me across the room. That damn king managed to knock me far away from everything, and he did that much damage?!?!

"Cough. Cough." I coughed up some blood while trying to keep from falling over.

My regeneration is taking it's time but the boss is almost dead so we have to finish it off while we have the chance to do it.

"Sevarian I need your help to finish it off!" Rika shouts while fighting against the undead King.

She was still fighting while I was there hunched over. I need to hurry up and assist her with this before it's too late.

So I gripped my sword and began to run towards the undead King once more.

Hyup!!!

I jumped up once more and stabbed my sword through it's chest once more, it was time to finish this thing off. The Undead King let out a giant groan and began to fall towards the ground as we backed up.

"Sevarian are you okay?" Rika questions while running over to me.

"I believe so.." I respond weakly.

~Quest Defeat the Undead King Completed!

~Reward: 50,000 Zethel and an A Tier Artifact were awarded.

Quite a reward it seems but everything is getting darker around the room. Will the undead army disappear as well...?

"Hey Stay awake!" Rika shouts while taking hold of my arm.

My sword disappeared back into my inventory and I noticed everything slowly getting darker and darker. I could hardly see anything anymore so maybe death was coming for me now.

!Level Up x8!

I got quite a few levels from this as well and I can still see everything so maybe I'm not dying, maybe I'm just going to black out. I've also not figured out how I get so many points or how the system works in that regard.

But it seems to be quite powerful, especially since I got Rika with her leveling multiplier.

"I..I'll be okay.." I say while looking up.

The enemies didn't seem to be around anymore but was this the only boss of this dungeon...?

"Good, we have to get out of here now." Rika replies while holding me up.

Like that Rika helped get me out of the dungeon from there but it seems my plan was flawed. It caused me this much damage and I probably could've avoided it if I would have been smarter.

"This is the exit." Rika says while dragging me along.

Her claws had disappeared again, she was like a normal girl besides the horns a top of her head. But the outside world finally was back in my sight again, like I haven't seen it in forever.

How long were we even in the dungeon..?

"Is your wound going to heal..?" Rika asks with a concerned tone.

"It should.." I respond while trying to stand up by myself.

The pain from this wound hurts like hell but I think my regeneration is finally starting to take effect again. I wonder what kept it from working in the first place, was it caused by the undead King?

~Quest Complete, the Vizen was conquered! Reward: S Tier Artifact.

So I've gained two artifacts out of both of the quests from before. That immediately took my mind off the undead King causing such an immense amount of damage.

Hmm. {Inventory}

•Slow down Potion

•The Blade of Zendal (A Tier Weapon!)

•A Tier, Ring of Stritus (Provides Moderate Mana Regeneration)

•S Tier, Amulet of The Undead King. (Provides Damage boost against undead mobs)

Seems that I got some decent artifacts, I'll definitely have to equip both of them as it will provide quite the advantage. I'm going to be using more magic soon so that'll come in handy.

I'll also be using those points after I get two more levels, it seems I'm getting where I need to. Level 30 this early is definitely a good path for me to be on already.

"You sure you should be standing on your own already?" Rika questions with a worried tone.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I answer while standing there.

"Do you know where to go from here?" Rika asks to change the topic.

"I need to go back to the Northern Square." I respond while looking around.

I need to check back on Mom and Ashley since they were at that safe place. They should be safe there but I don't know how long I was gone from everything.

I'm not sure if dungeons go off the same logic as they did in the games which was the time difference but it could be likely.

"What's at the Northern Square?" Rika questions.

"My Mom and my best friend." I answer while beginning to walk.

My wound seemed to be about done healing but now we had a decent walk back to the Northern Square. They had quite a decent amount of armed protection there so we should be okay.

~New Quest Available. Defeat the Crystal Mage System User.

Crystal Mage System user? Hmm, that's not always a great sign.

The fact that I have to keep battling against system users is making these problems worse and worse. But why would I receive such a quest as we're heading back towards the square...?

No, it couldn't be.

Within an instant I began running towards the direction of the square. All while rain began to pour down on top of us.

"Hey wait up!" Rika shouts while running behind me.

Mom and Ashley have to be safe right? There's no way that a system user is there killing everybody. It just wouldn't make any sense.

But as I got closer and closer to the square I could hear people screaming. Gunfire and screams were all that filled the air around us.

"Sevarian we got to be careful!" Rika shouts with an annoyed tone.

That's when they met my gaze.
