Moving Quickly Toward the Throne
I moved quickly toward the black throne at the end of the corridor and looked at it.
I felt as if this throne was pulling me towards it.
So, I sat down.
"Your level has increased."
"Your level has increased."
As soon as I did that, my level increased twice.
Several panels appeared before me:
"Item Room"
"Battle Room"
"Ally Room"
"Meditation Room"
I decided that now wasn't the right time to enter these rooms—I needed to increase my level.
So, I thought about the Meditation Room.
A door appeared in front of the throne.
I stood up, and as I did, a blue light started to form around me. The clothes I was wearing disappeared and were replaced by a golden crown on my head.
A black suit, similar to what I wore in my real world, started to form on my body.
I looked at my clothes and the crown on my head but paid no attention to them. I continued moving towards the door.
When I reached it, I opened it and entered.
I found myself in a large circular room with strange pictures and inscriptions on the walls that I couldn't understand.
I went to the center of the room, sat down, and started meditating. As soon as I did, I felt a tremendous amount of energy flowing into my body. I continued sitting and meditating for an hour.
I felt like my body was going to explode. The amount of energy inside me was far greater than what my body could contain.
Just as I was about to collapse, a light emerged from one of the inscriptions and entered my body, expanding my energy capacity once more.
When this happened, I felt my body becoming stronger and my endurance increasing. But I also felt certain words being etched into my mind:
"Death is the absolute beginning of everything."
This sentence was being carved into my mind forcefully.
But what's new? I already know that death is the beginning of everything. I smiled at this thought.
"Your level has increased."
"You have acquired the Blue Aura ability."
After an hour of meditation and filling my body with energy, this panel finally appeared.

After doing this, a strong blue aura surrounded my body. I couldn't hide it. I tried to control it but couldn't. This went on for half an hour until I finally learned how to hide it and reveal it at will.
After I did this, I felt a strong vibration in the place, and my mind was pulled outside.
"Wake up, we are under attack," Shard said, raising his sword.
My vision was blurry; I couldn't see anything clearly.
But I noticed a strange creature in the back, resembling a wolf but with a human body.
**Status**
**Name:** Werewolf
**Level:** 55
**Ability:** Night Howl
This werewolf was really strong, killing many powerful humans. No one could stand against it.
"Run from this place quickly," Shard said, raising his sword and heading towards the werewolf.
As usual, I didn't listen to him. Instead, I climbed a tree to watch what would happen.
Shard moved quickly between the bodies of humans.
When he reached the werewolf, his sword clashed with the monster's claws. The speed of the strikes increased. I couldn't see anything from the sword's and claws' movements. What incredible speed!
My body felt a thrill. I wanted to join the battle.
But wait, the werewolf started increasing its speed, and so did Shard. Suddenly, the werewolf stepped back. Shard rushed towards it, placing his sword in front of his chest and enveloping his body with the blue aura. Shard's speed increased.
He reached the werewolf, but the werewolf put its claws in front of the sword to block it.
Shard screamed with all his might, increasing his aura.
The sword pierced the monster's hand, but with its other hand, it stabbed Shard's shoulder.
Shard jumped back quickly, looking into the monster's eyes with determination, blood covering his face. Suddenly,
he raised his sword into the sky.
A black energy surrounded his body, long hair emerged from his body, and his eyes changed shape. His clothes transformed into different ones. I didn't know what happened to him, but his aura rose into the sky, and his sword turned a deep black, like the color of space.
He quickly headed towards the werewolf, jumped, and brought the sword down on the werewolf, splitting its body in half.
What is this? What kind of power is Shard hiding?
After his transformation ended, he fell to the ground, unconscious.
But it wasn't over yet. New guests appeared—10 sky spiders.
I whispered,
"Shadow Steps."
I stood in front of Shard and drew my sword. I decided to try out a new ability I had learned.
"Sword Storm."
Suddenly, the sword in my hand duplicated, and I had another sword in my other hand. A lot of air started forming around me in the shape of a storm. As I approached them, my body started spinning rapidly,
the swords rising until I became the Sword Storm.
Suddenly, I found five spider heads in front of me. I was amazed that with one strike, I could kill five spiders. The remaining spiders tried to escape,
but I quickly whispered,
"Mist Maze."
Walls of mist formed around the area. The spiders tried to escape but couldn't; the mist was a barrier they couldn't break through.
It was a new sorcerer skill I had just learned, and it came at the right time.
I approached them and began slaughtering them one by one, torturing them in the most brutal ways possible before killing them.
Killing them was easy.
There is indeed a vast gap between a distinguished person and a beginner.
I then went towards Shard and placed my hand on his wound.
I whispered,
"Heavenly Peacock."
A healing skill I learned as a sorcerer that helps me heal others.
My hand began emitting a strong white aura.
The wound started to disappear, and Shard slowly opened his eyes. I continued healing him. He looked at me in astonishment and said,
"Are you a healing sorcerer?"
He said this with a look of great shock on his face.
