“Ah, there’s so much now.” I smiled, looking at the large amount of Demon Cores I possessed.r

After passing out for a short while to regain my strength, I woke up to the same empty ground floor which had been devastated by the desperate battle I experienced not so long ago.r

Observing the items in my [Subspace] once again, I couldn’t control the smile that slowly formed on my face.r

To think that I would progress this much in merely a couple of days.r

It has been a few weeks since I returned to the world, and I have grown so much from the scared little brat I was.r

“But, there’s still more…”r

I looked at the entrance a small distance from where I sat, already feeling the nostalgic sensation of freedom course through me.r

However…r

“No, not yet… I’m not done yet!”r

I can’t be in too much of a rush! The outside world was definitely more dangerous than I could predict with only my experience in the Sacred Hall to rely on. Besides, days have passed since I was last there, so I don’t know how much has changed.r

There will be so much to do, and I won’t have time to procure many materials and any necessity I might need.r

Which is why I have to make sure everything is set before I leave.r

After looking at my Status Window, I was now aware of new things that I didn’t know in the past.r

For example, my (G) Karma Points have increased. My Karma Points have also increased. However, my (G) Factor has reduced from its usual ’90’, to ’70’.r.

There are still a lot of mysteries concerning the (G) parts of my Status, but I’m slowly learning.r

“First things first!” I said, excitedly jumping on my feet.r

I have successfully cleared this building, but that doesn’t mean I have exploited this place to its limits!r

“I’ll search every single room in here, look for anything that can be remotely useful to me, and take them all!. Raw materials, weapons, equipment, utilities… Everything here is mine!”r

It was only natural, after all, I defeated the Boss Monster myself.r

There should still be a few Demons roaming the hallways, and since I started my journey from the third floor, I never got to see the monsters on the higher ones. I suppose this was an opportunity.r

However, after experiencing the hell of fighting more dangerous monsters, I doubt the ones left would pose much of a threat to me.r

“Still, I won’t let my guard down!”r

Looking at the dreary stairs ahead of me, I walked toward them with anticipation, abandoning the exit for the time being. After all, I can leave whenever I want!r

There’s so much waiting for me above. I’ll make the best of everything here! With that, I ascended the stairs in a flash.r

“Let’s go grind some more!”r

[Several Days Later]r

Raising my trembling hands, I pushed the badly damaged doors slightly, causing them to creak and make way for me to pass through.r

The wide space was more than enough to accommodate my frame as I advanced.r

A rush of air swept in as I stepped my foot outside the walls of the building that entrapped me, welcoming my exhausted self into the outside world.r

I could have chosen to rest after my unending days of searching, training, discovery, and so much more. But, the excitement of the world beyond intrigued me. So much so that I finally gave in to the temptation and exposed myself to the rest of the world for the first time in seemingly forever.r

My eyes stung, but I opened them anyway, taking in the devastating state of everything around me.r

“So… This is my new reality…” I muttered.r

Most would tremble and falter in response to the sight I received, but not me!r

Suddenly, I started to chuckle. I tried to stop myself in futility as it only grew more.r

“Kekekekekekeke” I cackled.r

My body throbbed as I shook uncontrollably, unable to stop myself.r

Amidst this chaos and destruction, the world going to hell, I couldn’t help myself or cage in the boundless sensations of thrill that consumed me from the inside.r

“Kuahahahahahaha!!!” I laughed even more, my voice rising even higher, filling my immediate vicinity.r

My blood-mired face had a satisfied look, and I could tell that my eyes gleamed in delight. My heart raced with excitement, pounding at a thrilling pace.r

I have never felt so alive.r

“Ah, this sight is… so beautiful!”r

For a brief moment, though the fear and panic remained, I took in the pain and suffering experienced by the countless others who lived in this era and i couldn’t help but feel pleased.r

Knowing that everyone was miserable, living in such discomfort, made me happy. My fantasies finally were materialized… The world finally experienced the same terror I felt every day.r

Looking back now, I suppose I was right… I was a pathetic loser who was worth nothing but to be trampled on.r

But, that all changed when the ‘Miracle’ occurred. The Hell only I saw became a reality to everyone else. And, in order to survive in such a harsh world, everyone desperately strived.r

The only one who could actually feel at home in such a world filled with destruction, carnage, and malice… was me.r

After all…r

“This is just another day to me… Hell!”r

With my Gift, and my experience… I have decided to survive in this new world… Not just that, I will make my paradise in this purgatory, and stand at the very top.r

It was now my turn to possess everything… I don’t care about anyone else, they’re disposable anyway.r

Such is my new fate… The fate of the Hoarderr

Calling this new, sublime feeling satisfactory would be an understatement.r

I felt ecstatic!r

“Finally, judgment day has come!”r

[Meanwhile]r

“Huff… Huff…” A voice croaked in the darkness.r

Blood filled the ground, and a man stood by himself as he glared at the final foe he would face.r

The rest of his opponents were dead, killed by the contraption he had on his hand.r

Raising the object, he tightly gripped it as if his life depended on it, which it did.r

“I won’t die here! I won’t die here! I won’t die here!” He kept mumbling to himself, saying the mantra that had ensured his survival for so long.r

He pointed the only weapon he had on him and glared at the last Demon, who returned the same expression. The monster had already been wounded by a few shots already fired by him.r

It would soon die!r

“Guruuukkk….” It made a final attempt of struggle.r

It didn’t want to go down alone, at the very least.r

>Fwooosh<r

Leaping from the ground, it launched toward the trembling young man, aiming to tear his head off. However…r

>KPA!<r

>KPA!<r

>KPA!<r

Three shots were fired in succession, riddling holes in the body of the beast, nearly killing it.r

“Die! Die! Die!” The man madly said with each shot fired, grinning maniacally at the monster who was already down.r

Blood oozed from the dying beast as the end of its life neared.r

The man slowly walked, limping as he approached the monster. He kept his hand on the trigger of his gun and had his eyes transfixed on the Demon.r

Finally a few centimeters from it, he pointed his weapon at its head.r

“Die!”r

With one final shot, he killed it. Blood splattered out, and in a few moments, the demon turned to dust.r

“Haaa… This is the last one…” He said to himself in relief.r

Looking above him, he saw the large hole in the ceiling which was his only escape from the place he was currently in.r

“How long has it been? I have no idea… But…”r

He had not forgotten. There was only one thing that kept him alive and sane in a pit of hell such as this. The thought of revenge and rage that continued to consume him served as his sustenance.r

“Jeremy Lewis… I’m coming for you!”r
