At the same time, within the tutorial chamber…

After fixing and repairing his sea of consciousness for more than three hours straight, Jeremy, who had been sitting cross-legged on the soft cushion, finally opened his limpid blue eyes.

*Fwuu…*

Jeremy suddenly let out a breath from his mouth as he felt somewhat tired mentally, plus his initially exhausted body from the battle earlier.

Then Jeremy thought to himself,

‘Three more times, and my sea of consciousness will return back to normal…’

Afterward, Jeremy poked his head outside the tent to look at the timer above the floating green Crystal, only to see almost three hours were left before the last horde came raiding this chamber.

‘Let’s take a short nap then…’

Thus, Jeremy intended to take a nap to recover his tired body and exhausted mind for the time being as he had nothing to do anyway…

Soon, Jeremy’s left glove shone with a white line before a pillow appeared out of the glow.

Shortly after, Jeremy slept soundly within the black tent, readily entering a good dream to beat the cupid black and blue again…

…

Almost three hours later…

Right now, Jeremy was standing with a steel spear in his right hand ahead of the left passageway like the previous times.

He was now ready to face the last monsters’ horde…

At the moment, the countdown timer above the green Crystal was also counting back to the last three seconds, signifying that the hellish battle would commence very soon enough…

…

00:00:00:03…

00:00:00:02…

00:00:00:01…

00:00:00:00…

…

『 Be prepared. The tenth horde of monsters is coming. Good luck. 』

…

After the countdown timer had hit zero, the familiar notification also popped before Jeremy like every time, but…

“…”

Something peculiar happened…

Unlike the previous waves, there was no sound coming out from inside the two passageways at all…

‘Hmm… Strange…’

‘No more wolf? Wait… that means there is no goblin, imp, and hobgoblin, too?’ Jeremy thought puzzlingly to himself after meeting with an unfamiliar situation.

At last, Jeremy thought dismissively while shaking his head slightly in a bored manner at such a circumstance,

‘Whatever…’

After all, Jeremy had even cleared the hard-difficulty trial with perfect scores, so he had nothing inside this tutorial to be afraid of anymore.

‘Will the enemies come to me, or do I have to come find them myself?’ Jeremy thought annoyingly at the dead silent atmosphere.

However, the silence didn’t last long as a sudden grating noise suddenly came out from behind Jeremy…

*Jjak* *Jjak*

*Jjak* *Jjak*

The irritating noises resounded out closer and closer to the right passageway’s entrance, signifying that whatever the thing was, it was coming out from the right entrance soon…

‘So, there is only one monster for this one… a boss monster? However, the earlier notification from the System has stated clearly that it was a ‘horde of monsters’. Then how comes there is only one creature this wave?’

Having thought so in puzzlement, Jeremy turned one-eighty degrees to the back, towards where the grating noises came from…

*Jjak* *Jjak*

*Jjak* *Jjak*

Soon, the creature responsible for creating the annoying sound started showing up in front of Jeremy slowly…

Shortly after, the creature’s appearance was finally reflected by the light from the tutorial chamber, causing Jeremy to see its figure clearly right now…

Shocking enough, the creature looked somewhat like a spider back on Earth. Still, the difference in size between the two was like heaven and earth, as the spider monster ahead of the passageway’s entrance stood at more than two meters in height, and its body was as long as four meters.

The spider-like monster stood on all its eight legs, which should be the culprits why the grating sounds occurred earlier as those long legs looked so sharp that they might even be sharper than a steel needle.

The creature had a total of eight eyes like typical spiders. Whereas its six big yellow eyes were staring in different directions to inspect every nook and cranny of the tutorial chamber simultaneously, and another two eyes were fixing intently at the sole living being within the tutorial chamber, Jeremy.

Meanwhile, if the spider’s size was already considered ‘big’, then its abdomen should be called ‘enormous’ as it looked so bulged that it seemed to be able to explode at any given time.

At this moment, when the monstrous spider had finally realized that only one person was left alive within this place, it suddenly opened its big mouth widely in unsatisfaction. It was clearly conveying its feelings to the small creature ahead of it to show how much hungry and unsatisfied it felt right now.

“Gak gak kak kak kaa…”

Simultaneously, strange noise with no real meaning came out of the monster’s mouth continually…

As the monster had opened its mouth to let out those strange noises, Jeremy could now clearly see its sharp teeth altogether with the two long tentacles that had been kept within its mouth earlier. They looked so hideous and dangerous…

*Sigh*

Upon seeing the enemy ahead of him and realizing what it was, Jeremy let out a tired sigh because he suddenly understood and realized something very important…

Simultaneously, Jeremy fell into deep thought while staring at the ugly creature in front of him,

‘A no-named foot soldier of Noir Keista, huh. Now, I finally know it…’

‘It evidently signifies that the so-called Noir Keista is one of the fallen kingdoms on Ortus…’

‘Well, the reason that kingdom fell in the first place should be losing in the War of the Worlds too many times or either crumbling to a prolonged war and intense invasion of other races…’

‘After that, the entire race’s most populations went extinct, whereas only some managed to stay alive. However, they were overexposed to Ortus’ unhabitable environment, causing them to evolve into something abominable…’

‘Then, after losing their home, having to live out in the open exposing to Ortus’ hellish atmosphere, and evolving themselves into something vile and atrocious, they eventually lose their names and purposes of lives in the process…’

‘At last, they ultimately become creatures driven purely by instinct and desires with no more advanced cognitive capabilities…’

Indeed, the creature stood 30 meters away from Jeremy right now looked nothing like the sentient and half-sentient creatures created by the System so far at all, for it to be more like a being solely driven by desires…

After finally ending his long contemplation, Jeremy looked at the giant spider ahead of him with an expressionless face and said with a somewhat cold tone,

“They are called as a whole as The Forsakers…”

As if the spider-looking forsaker had felt offended by Jeremy’s words, it suddenly opened its disgusting mouth even more expansive than before and screamed,

“KHIAAAAAA!!!!”

The creature’s voice was such a high-pitched one that Jeremy frowned a bit because his Heightened Senses had come into work, causing him to hear the screaming sound louder and clearer than ordinary people.

Without further ado, the monstrous spider rushed towards Jeremy at breakneck speed…

At the same time, the black-cloaked Jeremy also dashed head-on towards the monstrous forsaker…

…

[A/N: Most creatures that go by the alias ‘Forsaker’ are just savage animals with no fundamental cognitive abilities to learn complicated things such as languages, maths, and even common senses.. They are just like ordinary wild animals on Earth. This is how the spidey looks like —>]
