Author's POV


It's been almost a year since the game started. Shiryou's level is now 148 and he's been at 63rd floor, clearing some mobs while searching for the Boss room.

Shiryou: "Every single one of these Monster are getting stronger. But so am I."

He throw the sheath of Yamato into one of the monsters, impaling it through. He then run towards it as he slash every Monsters he pass by. After that, he kick the Sheath out of the monster and it bounces on the tree, going straight back to the Yamato.

Then all of the Monsters fell on the floor, and turned into pixels before disappearing. He look down to his coat and saw some holes on it.

Shiryou: "Damn it!"

He grab a teleportation crystal in his inventory and went to the 40th floor to repair his coat. When he got there, some players were looking scared at him while the others were whispering about him.

Girl1(Whisper): "Hey, isn't that the solo player?"

Girl2(Whisper): "Yeah. You guys should stay away from him. He's dangerous."

Girl3(Whisper): "I heard that he killed the boss on floor 50 all by himself."

Girl4(Whisper): "Really?! Then he's really strong!"

Girl5(Whisper): "And hot as well.~ I wonder what he's hiding under that coat.~"

Girl2(Whisper): "What are you girls talking about?! He's a killer! He can kill us if he wants!"

Girl3(Whisper): "He only kills all Orange and Red indicators. I bet he's hunting the Laughing Coffin guild right now."

Girl1(Whisper): "I wonder if he has some grudge on them."

Shiryou just sigh in annoyance and headed to the Tailoring to repair his coat.

Tailor: "Welcome to Rin's Tailoring Shop!"

Shiryou: "I'd like to repair my coat."

He took off his coat, only leaving his vest on and gave it to the tailor.

Tailor: "Oh my, the quality of your coat is kinda high. And it's going to cost higher than you expected."

Shiryou: "I don't have a problem for the payment. I just want my coat to get fix so I can go back to hunting."

Tailor: "Alright. It's going to take two hours to fully prepare."

Shiryou: "Very well. Might as well find something interesting while I wait."

He walks out of the shop and headed down the streets.
