The reflection of Suho's face shimmered inside the colossal eye of the World Eater.
A man.
No — something that had once been a man.
His features were twisted into a grotesque smile, crimson aura flooding his skin like molten blood. His eyes glowed with madness, brilliance, and an inhuman joy.
And then—
He laughed.
A sound that cut through the ocean like shattered glass.
"Ahahahahahaha…"
The World Eater's eye narrowed.
The ocean trembled.
[World Eater is furious at you.]
[You have entered the Domain of a Calamity.]
Suho heard none of it.
He stepped forward and punched the system barrier again.
This time, the shockwave rippled across the entire sea. The translucent wall cracked faintly, trembling under his berserk power.
His entire body had turned into a walking storm of crimson. Aura leaked like smoke, coiling around him in demonic spirals. His laughing no longer sounded human.
[Player's energy rising – abnormalities detected.]
[Player has fully lost control.]
He raised his head slowly, smiling wider.
He no longer looked like Suho.
He looked like a curse.
Somewhere Else – Another Tutorial Zone
A different battlefield.
A different fate.
A man stood gripping a grotesque green sword. Its handle pulsed like living flesh, an eye blinking slowly, its mouth twisting as it spoke.
Name: Yamato
Species: Human
Level: 47
Class: Hidden – Berserker
Talent: Natural Strength
The blade whispered in a distorted voice.
"This game is not new, child… It predates even mankind. Before Earth… before time as you know it… My world, Lavanta, was their playground."
Yamato stiffened.
"My kind were called Berserkers. Primitive. Feral. Our power was adaptation… survival through madness. When we lost our minds, we became stronger."
The sword's eye narrowed.
"A god came to us once. He wielded aura. He laughed at us as savages… until I learned it in mere moments. Because I was a Berserker… my madness became divinity."
The voice darkened.
"I slew a Sword God. The Aura God blessed me. I became his disciple… and yet the Sword God destroyed my planet and sealed my soul inside this blade."
The sword trembled softly.
"Now you are my vessel. Grow stronger… so I may be freed."
Yamato frowned.
"Why me? There are countless players stronger than me."
The blade whispered—
"Because berserk power requires control. Because chaos without discipline devours itself."
Suddenly, the sword vibrated violently.
A faint pressure flickered through the air.
(Authority – Ignore by Universe Activated)
Yamato froze.
"What was that?"
The sword whispered uneasily,
"For a moment… I felt something. But no… impossible…"
Back to Nikas — Domain of the World Eater
The ocean roared.
A pressure wave surged outward as the World Eater unleashed its wrath, yet Suho stood unmoving, that insane laughter echoing between the ruins.
Behind him, the city barrier cracked further, holes forming as if reality itself no longer wished to contain him.
From within the monstrous body of the World Eater, relics, ancient weapons, and cursed artifacts drifted like debris around a dying star.
Within the flooded streets, Suho's skeleton army moved once more.
Not by command.
Not by will.
But by resonance.
Dark Mana – SSSL
Necromancy — Evolving → Rank SSS
Cracked bones mended. Broken limbs reassembled.
Their very existence was rewritten.
The system changed.
No longer levels.
Now — Ranks.
G
G+
G+++
Their strength began to grow infinitely, untethered from conventional limitation.
And Suho laughed as rose inside water.
He inhaled his outer aura deeply — and roared.
A sound not born of lungs but of annihilation itself.
His roar pushed back even the overwhelming presence of the World Eater, carving a temporary silence into the storming sea.
Slowly… reverently…
He brought his palms together, like a deity in prayer.
The ocean froze.
A vast golden hollow formed behind him, radiant and divine, stretching into the heavens.
A spectral crown hovered above his head, woven from light and wrath.
He raised one hand.
Holy energy gathered.
It did not merely gather — it obeyed.
The ocean parted as a colossal golden lance manifested, a weapon so vast that even the drowned city of Nikas seemed small before it. Radiant, pure… overwhelming.
Then Suho raised his other hand.
(Skill – Combine SSS+)
The golden lance twisted.
Red aura bled into it.
Dark mana coiled through its core.
Divinity and corruption fused into one impossible existence.
Notifications flooded his vision — errors, warnings, locked protocols breaking.
But Suho only laughed.
"Hahahahahahahaha!!!"
And he hurled it.
The lance tore through the sea, tearing reality behind it, flying straight toward the World Eater's enormous eye—
But the system wall reacted.
(ERROR...)
(SYSTEM DAMAGE EXCEEDS STAGE LIMIT ######)
(FAILSAFE OVERRIDE – FAILED)
The barrier shattered like glass.
The lance struck.
The World Eater screamed.
Not sound — a vibration through existence.
Black smoke poured from its wounded eye like bleeding night.
The ocean convulsed violently, the vortex swallowing ruins, monsters, and fragments of the world alike.
[World Eater is enraged.]
[Your existence is now in danger.]
Suho was dragged backward through the whirlpool, yet even as water crushed his body, even as reality warped around him…
He kept laughing.
He pointed at the massive being.
A crimson grin carved across his face.
And his voice — twisted, joyous, broken — echoed through the collapsing realm.
Hahahaha
