Alexia Knight

I can’t help but smile when I finally get out of the maze who knows how many hours later. Surprisingly, the maze wasn’t all that dangerous to me. It was mostly just a pain to make it through.

But now that I’m finally out of there, I begin walking towards the tunnel across from the maze’s exit I just passed through. Although I’m still curious as to why I haven’t seen any of those scythids.

Unless the things were slaughtered by something else? I can definitely see those spiders snacking on them.

I glance at the leaderboards as I walk.

Hmm. Looks like the Hound started closing the gap a little bit.

I wonder what Tutorial block they’re in? Certainly hope it’s not mine.

That guy’s bad news. Even after being reset I can’t see him as being anything but dangerous.

The man is famous for having singlehandedly burned an entire empire to the ground with everyone still inside of it after he went insane one day. Why he went insane is completely unknown to anyone. Just that he was perfectly fine one moment, then the next he snapped and torched the entire empire in a single strike that turned the continent they dominated into a wasteland.

He was never really seen after that though. This is the first I’ve heard of him since.

Once I enter the tunnel, I can tell that everything suddenly got a lot darker. Even if I can still see perfectly fine.

But despite that, I still don’t see any monsters. So I continue walking while wondering just what the Hound might try doing in the new dimension.

A frown crests my face as I hear a strange chittering sound.

I raise my glaive in the direction of the sound before turning the corner and finding a large scythid. One at a much higher level than the ones I had seen earlier.

{Lesser Scythid – Level 27}

Oh, shit.

This thing is eight levels above me.

It’s also just staring at me without moving for some reason. So I tilt my head with a frown in confusion.

Then it sprints forward out of nowhere, raising one of its scythed limbs and slashing it down towards me, not giving me any time to block it as the blade goes straight in and out of my arm where the armor isn’t covering, cutting down into my bone and making me scream out in pain. But I manage to push through it anyways thanks to pain resistance and my own training with Gramps as I quickly and forcefully cut off my own scream and swing my glaive up with my right arm – the uninjured one – cutting into its arm as well.

Its arm turns out to barely be attached though, and is severs without much trouble, making the creature let out a scream to match my own. Then I push through the pain to raise my left arm before sending a few quantum bolts into the thing, blasting open its side and sending it flying onto the ground.

Even after that, the creature still manages to survive. Although it can’t seem to get up or move.

So I reach my glaive forward before cutting off its other arm from a safer distance and then stepping forward to cut off its head, finally killing it.

[*New Active Skill* – Quantum Reversal: Revert time on just the user’s body, reversing a limited amount of damage in an instant along with the effects of the damage. The price of the skill scales with the amount of damage and the skill’s level, and wounds that would be considered fatal by the System are only partially reversible. Skill is automatically slotted due to free open slots.]

My eyes widen at the sudden time reversal skill before I immediately use it, making the wound on my arm suddenly open up wider as I scream even louder than before only for it to close all at once as I drop to my knees, holding my arm.

Fuck that hurt!

It doesn’t just reverse the damage. The skill reverses time itself, so I have to reexperience the pain and any healing that had happened since getting the wound as well. Which would certainly explain why the System gave a time reversal skill at such a low level.

I glance at my status before my mouth drops open in shock.
