MONSTER MMORPG: Mayhem Online

34 Chapter 0034



I fell to the ground on my knees, strength running out of my body as heavy breaths ran out of my mouth.

The right side of my stomach was bleeding profusely, and the stinging pain was too much to bear for anyone. But all I could care about was my loudly beating heart.

It was aching like never before. It felt like someone had grabbed it tightly and painful jolts of shiver ran past it. Soon enough, I could feel my cheeks getting hot.

My right hand was grabbing the right side of my stomach as I unconsciously reached out my left hand at my face and I could feel them get wet from tears.

Tears of blood.

Soon, Jeze\'s hand which was holding the broken spear finally fell to the ground with a thud as all that remained of her life left her body.

~ "You know, someday I would like to visit your world. And even if I can\'t, I at least want to see the people outside of Abyss. Are they all nice like you, Shura?" ~

~ "Thank you so much for everything you did for the village. Kris and his friends were so happy to eat the …. The rice? Is that what you call it?" ~

~ "What are the stars that you talk about? Are they beautiful?" ~

The days spent with Jeze suddenly started flashing in front of my eyes. She was the only person I had opened up to after years, she was always cheerful, prideful and righteous. She always prioritised everyone else\'s happiness before hers.

Is this what she deserved?

"IS THIS WHAT SHE DESERVED???!!!"

I let out a raucous shout, grabbing the attention of the monster that had just killed Jeze.

The Grivantula slowly turned around and glared at me as it let out an ear-splitting sound.

KUUOOONNGGG—

"YOU\'RE FUCKING DEAD YOU SON OF A CUNTLESS WHORE!!!"

Whatever sanity I had finally left me as I stood up, brought out a bottle of health potion and gulped down the sweet and tangy potion in one fell swoop.

The Grivantula ran towards me and I charged towards him, as it started assaulting me with its legs, I kept avoiding it as I held out two Eclipse in both my hands.

Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew around as my blades clashed with its legs which were as strong as steel.

[You have dealt 1342 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 780 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 2094 damage to the target.]

[You have hit a weak spot, extra critical damage is added.]

[You have dealt 59000 damage to the target.]

Kchhk!

The replica of Eclipse that I held in my left hand stuck to the joints of one of his legs, dealing much more damage than it did in other areas.

After finding out its weak spot, I kept generating one replica after the other as I threw them all at the same joint one by one.

KUOOOKKK!

The giant monster cried out from the pain as finally, the joint I had been attacking snapped in half and one of his legs fell to the ground.

"WHAT ARE YOU CRYING FOR YOU BITCH? THIS ISN\'T EVEN HALF THE PAIN THAT YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE!!!"

I cried out madly, spit and blood coming out of my mouth which I couldn\'t care about.

Clang! Clang! Snap!

After breaking one of its legs, I followed the same pattern and broke another one of its legs, and then another, and then one more.

I went at it until one side of its body was now dangling without the support of half a dozen legs.

KRUAAANNNGGGG!

The Grivantula let out another frenzied water breath, sending destruction everywhere except for me.

I was already halfway up its body from the side that was dangling. Climbing to his slippery turtle-like back, I tried hitting it with Eclipse, but all it did was scratch the surface.

Not finding any way to break through his hard turtle-like shield, I looked towards its face. The Grivantula was already in a frenzy and he kept firing water breaths here and there, his body\'s balance losing every time and making me almost fall.

I ran towards its serpent neck and threw two blades one by one on his left eye.

[Sage Blade Throwing (Lv 1) → Sage Blade Throwing (Lv 2)]

[You have hit a weak spot, extra critical damage is added.]

[You have dealt 99999 damage to the target.]

UWWAARRRGHHHH!

The monster let out a huge cry of pain, but my hollow eyes couldn\'t see a thing, my ears could no longer listen to anything and what remained in me was an infinite amount of insanity.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

I stabbed at its neck, which seemed to be the softest skin throughout his whole body and hung on to Eclipse.

The bastard was moving a lot after losing his eye as he kept on crying out loud.

[Note: Eating raw monster meat will give you higher chances of gaining more benefits.

The skill is still limited, you need to meet hidden conditions to unlock its full potential.]

The last thread of sanity that remained of me suddenly made me remember something.

Why am I remembering this now?

I didn\'t even have time to let my sane self answer my question as my current instinct-driven body cut a big piece of lump out of the giant monster\'s body.

If I was currently in my right mind, I would gross out by the thought of eating the flesh of a monster like this, raw at that.

Without thinking anything, I bit on the flesh hanging on a replica of Eclipse as I started gulping everything down without chewing, my other hand holding onto the original Eclipse dug into the monster\'s skin to make a grip and not fall down.

[Metamorphosis Lv 1 Index: (98%----------100%)]

Even after I had eaten all the disgusting and tasteless flesh, the index still wasn\'t filled. Looking at the area from where I had cut out the flesh, I dug the Eclipse replica on my other hand on the skin of the monster too, as I dived in face first into the crater of the flesh that I had created myself at the monster\'s neck.

Bite!

I bit a chump of meat, with blood and skin mixed within, totally forgetting about human morals and norms.

[You have met the hidden condition of eating the blood and flesh of a monster, Metamorphosis\' full potential is unlocked.]

[Metamorphosis Lv 1 Index: (100%----------100%)]

[Commencing race change.]

[Creating your own race from the monster\'s eaten thus far.]

Suddenly, Eclipse\'s grip around the monster\'s skin loosened and I fell straight into the stream.

Everything suddenly turned silent as all I could hear was the voice of silent water. I instinctively held my breath, as I saw my own body inside the water.

Yes, I could see everything as clear as day even inside the water.

My skin\'s colour started changing rapidly, from fair white skin colour to grey colour. Black scales started emerging at the large wound on my stomach, even my forearms started getting covered in the black scales to my wrists.

[All your health and mana had been regenerated.]

My body looked a bit more buff than usual, with a grey colour, legs with the same scales and a…. Tail?

I could see a meter and half-long tail wagging just beside me, it wasn\'t just any tail but looked more like a combination of the iron tail of the demonic monkey with the thickness of the Grivantula.

My tongue suddenly hit the extra-long canines in my mouth. Unconsciously, I opened my mouth to feel my jaws and my mouth became filled with water. I suddenly couldn\'t feel the threat of drowning, and so I took a deep breath…. Inside the water.

Whew haah~

Surprisingly, I could breathe \'through\' the water. Maybe I should blame it on the gill-like intersection between my ribcage?

As soon as I felt that the changes inside and outside my body were complete, I saw a bunch of notification windows pop up in front of me.

[Your race has successfully changed.]

[Demonic power seeps through your body.]

[Your race is an independently evolvable race, you can name it yourself.]

[You are the first and last player to have an independent race without a former origin.]

[You have been rewarded with a \'Legendary Chest\'.]

[A hidden piece of \'Dulwak\'s Heir\' has been unlocked.]

[You are the first legend that had changed races after becoming a legend.]

[You are no longer a human.]

[Your body reflexes have improved by leaps and bounds.]

[You have caught the attention of the Generals of Abyss.]

[Your….]

Ignoring the rest of the texts, I saw my scaly monstrous hands, and from deep within me, I could feel that I could swim…. Really really fast.

I gave in to my instinct and the next moment, I swam out of the water with a dash and \'plop\' sound. Right after, I was standing in front of the monster, with my large tail wagging around, a menacing yet saddened smile showing my teeth, blood-red pupils and large, sheep-like curved horns.

***

Exactly at the moment Shura\'s race changed, all the players around all over the world received their second world message since the game\'s inauguration.

[The legend of the Human race has been corrupted, the human race has lost one of its prominent legends.]

[Player Shura had become the first and last player to create his own race.]

[A new legend has started with the world as its witness.]

[Abyss has become the first place to witness the rise of a new legend.]

[Players all over the world have a 30% experience boost for a whole week.]

***

A number of top players who saw the news and witnessed the world\'s messages themselves couldn\'t help but feel various emotions..

—-

"The dark horse can hide himself no more."

Crestfallen, the leader of Warriors of North, smiled deeply. The vice guild leader of his guild, Autumn, heard him talk and chuckled.

To her, there was no one as stubborn as Crestfallen when it came to persuading someone to join their side. He was the leader of a top guild for a reason.

—-

"This fucker doesn\'t take a break. How many lives worth of luck has even gotten?.... He\'s not even a girl."

Lynch, the leader of Chrysanthemum Guild commented in jealousy, his words trailing off at the end. Bowser, who was sitting right beside him in the guild\'s bar, shook his head.

Whoever this Shura guy was, he was in for the admiration and jealousy of a lot of people.

—-

"Little Shura has been doing a lot of work recently, don\'t you think so too, guys? It\'s time we lend him a helping hand."

Malaika, the sexy guildmaster of Lightbringers, commented. Her guild has been in the global top ten ever since the game started. It was time to bring it to the top three.

—-

"So unfortunate you couldn\'t keep your act for long. But I guess you won\'t be needing the job anymore?"

Marya said, feeling a bit at loss. Then she suddenly cheered up after remembering how Flynn had promised to play with her.

She had learnt about his username after she got a call from the people of Kibea corporation. She already had her doubts, but the world message just confirmed them.
