Chapter 15: Power Up

As that Giant Ant moved, I heard a giggling sound.

“Well well, who’s here,” 1st Voice said.

The 2nd Voice exclaimed, “My queen! Is she here?”

“When did she become your queen,” the third voice asked

“When she disappeared a few days ago, isn’t it right my queen?” 2nd voice said while laughing

I can hear the mockery in their voices.

This time, there were actually three hyenas who approached slowly. These were quite larger than the average hyena you see on Earth.

Giant Ant questioned coldly, “What do you want?”.

3rd Hyena: “Can’t you see what we want?”

“I don’t know.” She replied.

‘Really, my queen? What made you flee last time?’ asked 2 Hyena.

Throughout all the drama going on around me, I started slowly moving towards the other side.

“Where are you going, don’t you want a reward for giving me that gift?” The 2nd Hyrena asked astonished.

I was startled, but quickly replied, “No Sir, it’s a gift, so how could I expect a reward from the noble you?”

“Huh? we have quite an interesting one here” That Hyena laughed.

“Come here, before she disappears once again,” 1st Hyena commanded.

Two hyenas appeared behind the Ant, one aimed to bite its neck, but the area around her distorted and the hyena missed, and the other fired a fireball at her, but she teleported away from the hyenas.

Meanwhile, I ran far from the scene where the action sequence was happening. I can still feel the vibrations of the fight in my ears.

“AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I heard a loud cry from the hyena.

“The last time you were lucky, I was already tired from fighting that shameless fox, no one can get away from me who has killed my children, even that arrogant lion.” Ant screamed in anger.

A shiver ran down my spine and I began to run with all my strength to run away from those monsters.

After running for half a day, I was exhausted like a dead pig

“It absolutely won’t do,” I mumbled.

“Despite my awesomeness, I run like a coward. What if anyone sees me this way?”

“No, this is not acceptable. I need to grow stronger.”

As I recalled the menu option, a screen appeared in front of me, displaying the experience.

‘Level 1: 40/50’

Wow, I killed 2000 ants, that’s why she was so angry with me.

Suddenly, I heard the System say “Congratulations Host for the task completion” followed by golden light. I knew I had leveled up this time.

“Congratulations Host for leveling up to level 2”

As soon as I looked at the level bar, it read ‘Level 2: 90/100’, I was delighted.

“Hahaha, Awesome, no one can beat me, not even GOD can level up this quickly, just finished my task and I’m already Level 3. Humph.”

……………

Alan isn’t even aware that his counterparts have already reached level 10

…………….

“And System, you ran away when I asked for help?” I asked her

She replied in her usual emotionless tone, “Host, as per terms and conditions, the System cannot interfere when the host is performing the task.”.

“What the fuck!!, they also have terms and conditions?”I thought

“Leave it, I can’t deal with it. I need to become stronger. I need to show my awesomeness” I vowed.

I can see that I have 2 free stat points.

“System apply 2 stat point to strength”

“Affirmed host, I have applied 2 stat points to strength.”

It feels like a warm feeling is passing through my body, my muscles have begun strengthening and my biceps are taking shape.

“This is great, I can feel the power, I became stronger”

“Beauties, wait for me, your Hercules is getting stronger”

The scene where the Monsters were playing with fire and water made me want the same power. Imagining being surrounded by fire and admiring beauty.

“That’s Awesomeness”

With determination, I began looking for ways to reach level 5, where I can purchase the Powers in the Evolution Store.

……………….

Here Alan was excited after his Power Up, there Ramos has a worried look on his face.

“Who interfered? Is she?”
