"ENOOUGHHHH!"

A thunderous roar shook the entire place, and everyone instinctively turned toward the source. A huge bulky man stepped forward, although he looked like someone around their age. It was just that his body was unusually large and well-built.

"Let me in.. I don’t give a shit who are you!" he shouted as he slammed his foot onto the ground, creating a small ripple that spread outward.

Reigns’ eyes narrowed as he glanced at the floating level above the man.

"Hisss.. Level 8."

One of the guards stepped forward and crossed his spear in front of him, blocking his path.

"You can’t.."

"You need to pay a 50 day tradable lifespan to enter."

"What if I don’t?" the kid asked with a crooked smile, tilting his head slightly.

Hearing this, the guard simply raised his brows and spoke in a provoking tone, "You can try!"

"Then don’t blame me for what comes next."

In the next moment, a crackling sound erupted as the man’s body bulged with strength. He extended his hand forward.

BOOOOOM!

A blast erupted as his punch hit, causing a faint crack on the ground and sending debris flying. Dust rose into the air, and the force pushed outward.

The kid’s smile disappeared instantly, and his eyes widened in shock.

"How?"

As the dust cleared, he saw that the guard had only taken a few steps back but still stood firm. The guard had used the shaft of his spear to block the attack.

The guard looked at him calmly and said, "Kid, it seemed you put all your stat in strength which deprived your brain."

"I will kill you!" the kid shouted, losing his mind in rage as he threw another punch.

The guard reacted swiftly. He raised his left arm and gave a shoulder roll to parry the punch. At the same time, his right arm rotated the spear smoothly, and in one swift motion, he shoved it forward. The blunt end of the spear slammed hard into the kid’s torso.

"Gaah!"

The kid felt a crushing pain as the impact hit him. His knees turned weak, and he collapsed slightly.

The guard then spun the spear in his hand and placed the blade near the kid’s neck.

"Kid, stop causing trouble or prepare to die."

He then lifted his gaze and looked around at the crowd. His sharp eyes made several people flinch and step back unconsciously.

"Just because you can level up doesn’t mean you are all strong enough to contend with us. We might not look much but we are elites. Even the weakest of us can kill you easily."

"So if you have a number of lifespans to spare, then I welcome you on everyone’s behalf to try or get in line you noise bastard."

His voice was heavy and intimidating. The crowd slowly quieted down. After a moment, many people stepped back, while a few began to form lines.

Swish!

At the back, Reigns shook his head slightly.

Controlling the dungeon entrance by force was wrong, but every wrong becomes right when backed by fists.

"Let’s go guys.. We should also prepare to go in."

"Yes!" Arvin and Kellar nodded without hesitation.

*******

The group moved forward and after about half an hour, they gathered before the dungeon entrance.

The guards stopped them to collect a tradable lifespan.

It was 10 for each.

Apparently,the fat boy was asked for his rudeness.

Reigns paid and then took the chance to ask the guard for some general information.

The guard listened and then replied, "The main dungeon has limited restrictions of Lv5."

"What!" a surprised scream escaped from everyone’s lips.

"Doesn’t that mean we can’t enter?"

"No!" The guard shook his head.

"It’s a floor based system. What I meant is that the main dungeon at the top had a boss monster while the first floor has level restriction of 5.You need to be atleast level to enter."

The group then asked for miscellaneous information like the type of monsters and other details, but the guard proved useless as he said the inhabitants of the zone could not enter it.

With no more information to gain, the squad walked toward the entrance.

As soon as they stepped in, everything changed.

It felt like they had been pulled into a completely different world.

They found themselves standing on a wide green field filled with dense grass and scattered trees. Monsters roamed all around, moving restlessly.

All of them were Level 5.

Then a notification appeared.

[Welcome To The Zone Of Redact.]

[You have entered the first floor of the dungeon.]

[Kill 10 monsters to advance.]

Seeing this, Reigns looked unimpressed. He sighed lightly and turned toward the group.

"Guys, if the level restriction pertains to lv of monster found then it seems I need to go up. I can’t waste my time here."

Hearing this, a trace of sadness appeared in the others’ eyes. Reigns was already Level 7, while most of them were still at Level 6.

"It’s sad but it’s okay,we understand." Ren smiled faintly, trying to stay positive.

Arvin also nodded and patted Reigns on the shoulder.

"Good luck Reigns!"

From the back, Lira raised her voice slightly and said, "Good luck Reigns!" Her tone was cheerful, but as Reigns smiled back, he suddenly felt a chilling aura from behind.

Before the situation could turn awkward or tense, he quickly grabbed Nyxara’s hand.

"Nyx let’s go."

"Yes!"

With that, Reigns stepped forward and jumped toward the center where the monsters were gathered. His voice rang out clearly.

"BLOOM!"

In the next instant, dozens of Splash Shooters appeared around him, surrounding him in formation.

Nyxara’s eyes narrowed as she saw this. She looked at Reigns with complete shock. Countless questions filled her mind, but after a moment, she simply shook her head.

’Hmm! I knew it!’

’How can my darling be ordinary? And even if he is, since when any tom dick and harry can question my love.’

Thinking this, a faint anger rose inside her as she glanced at the others who were still watching Reigns.

Oblivious to her thoughts, Reigns pointed forward with confidence.

"Shooter.. Time to gang up and kill them."
