*dham, dham, dham, dham…*
The ground started trembling and Arkhen also saw a patch of black in front of him.
"What's that?" Arkhen narrowed his eyes as he saw that half of the side of this place was fully covered with black.
[Stampede. Be careful, my lord]
"So, all those are some kind of beasts?"
A screen appeared in front of Arkhen.
[There is only one way to survive this stampede. If you failed to find it, you will die and lose 50,000 doom points to revive]
"Is this some kind of joke?" Arkhen was speechless.
[Why, my lord?]
"I mean, if there's only one way to survive this stampede, then it's pretty easy. I thought I will have to fight or something, heh," Arkhen scoffed.
"Still, that shit indeed looks scary," Arkhen muttered as he saw that the whole sky and ground were covered by black armored beasts with red eyes. The ground ones had no wings and four legs while the ones flying above them and in the sky had wings, two legs, and two claw-like hands. They looked dark devilish and covered everything in sight.
[How will you survive this?]
"Easy peasy lemon squeezy," Arkhen said with a laugh as he used his force-field and started digging the ground. After he dug ten meters deep, he jumped inside before covering himself in a square force-field and then created another force-field to fill the ground with the dirt and soil that he dug out by pushing it inside the hole.
"This should be good," Arkhen said with a grin. The trembling of the ground was increasing in intensity every second.
After ten seconds, Arkhen could feel the stampede arriving and was passing by his position on the ground. The trembling of the ground was super intense. Everything was shaking and trembling as if it was the world's end.
…
'Hey, Velshi. Why am I not having any problem with breathing? It's been five minutes and this force-field is airtight.'
[Oh, you didn't notice consumption because you have unlimited primal energy. Anyway, if you have any kind of energy, it can be consumed to keep functioning your body.]
'So that means I can survive in the space. That's cool.'
[Indeed]
'Anyway, when will this stampede end?'
[It should be soon. I can see how long it is by spending a reality point]
'Do it.'
[1 reality point deducted]
[My lord, 2 more minutes]
'It's really long.'
…
After two minutes, the stampede was finally over. Everything calmed down and Arkhen also came out of the ground as a screen greeted him.
[Congratulations. You have completed the 1st floor. The easiest floor but high reward. Choose the reward carefully]
[You have 1 minute to enter the next floor. If you don't enter, you will be kicked out]
A portal appeared two meters away from him, entry to the 2nd floor. A countdown of 1 minute also appeared.
[My lord. The SSS-rank item selection box has been added to the inventory. Should I open it?]
'Do it, quick,' Arkhen nodded.
[The SSS-rank item selection box has been opened. Please choose one out of the five SSS-rank items]
[1) Dual Rail-Star Pistols, 2) Sword of Heavenly Fire, 3) Exotic Explosive Crate, 4) Deck of the Wild Cards, 5) Celestial Wind Grimoire]
Arkhen quickly read the details of all items and the one he decided to pick was 4th item. The Deck of the Wild Cards.
A deck of solid cards with a black cover and golden patterns appeared in his hand. Arkhen's eyes showed slight excitement as he really like these kinds of items with surprise factors.
'Velshi, how to open the doom shop?'
[Just mutter 'Doom Shop' and it will appear in front of you]
Arkhen quickly muttered the doom shop, and it appeared. He had 103,800 doom points, so he felt that he could buy some good things, but his eyes were attracted to that one thing that cost 100,000 doom points.
[Upgrade an SSS-rank item to EX-rank item]- Cost: 100,000 doom points.
'BUY!'
Arkhen bought that upgrade cube and told Velshi to use it on the Deck of the Wild Cards.
[Congratulations. The Deck of the Wild Cards has been upgraded to an EX-Rank item, the Deck of the Mystic Cards]
[The Deck of Mystic Cards]
-Rank: EX
-EX Trait: You now have three types of decks: 1) Elemental Deck, 2) Status Effect Deck, 3) Metamorphic Deck
—>You can change your deck anytime you want just by thinking.
—>1) Elemental deck: After changing to this deck, you can pull out offensive and defensive effects of cards related to elements.
—>2) Status Effect Deck: After changing to this deck, you can pull out buffs and debuff effects of cards.
—>3)Metamorphic Deck: After changing to this deck, you can pull out cards with temporary transforming effects that work on anything or anyone. (A living target can resist effect and reduce the transformation duration)
-Note: There are 52 cards in the deck. It takes 1 day to refill 10 mystic cards.
'Nice,' Arkhen grinned as he turned the deck into [Elemental Deck] as the card covers changed from black-gold into colorful patterns design.
Arkhen didn't pull any card but entered inside the portal as the time was tight.
The 2nd floor was different from the first floor. He appeared inside a large hall with demonic statues on the walls.
[2nd Floor: Demon's Bane]
-Kill ten demons
[Reward]
-Shards of a demonic scroll x 5
"Huh? What is this reward?" Arkhen asked in confusion.
[Once you have gathered 50 shards, you can synthesize them to create a random demonic scroll. You can learn a demonic skill from that scroll]
"I see. A demonic skill. Sounds cool," Arkhen muttered. The countdown of 1 minute was going to be over soon and then he will have to fight the ten demons.
Soon, a minute passed and ten random statues from the wall became alive. All of them were three meters tall and had demonic wings, red eyes, and thick horns.
Arkhen didn't waste any time and released <Wind Fury Orb> toward five of them and <Lightning Tendrils> towards another five before drawing a card from the deck in his hand that turned into an earth-brown card with a golem printed on it.
[Earth Golem]
-Summons an Earth Golem with EP equal to yours and endurance twice as yours.
-Trait: Surrounding enemies will be forced to attack it.
—Skills: Mud Bullets, Geo Lance, Earth Prison
"Haha, let's go!" Arkhen laughed as he threw the card and summoned a giant Earth Golem that was 10 meters tall.
