Chapter 013 - Shadow Monarch (Edited)

(For reference, Chapter 46 of Solo Leveling Manhwa.)

It's been a week since Raido arrive at Korea, He is having trouble making friends not that he's trying to.

He likes his current apartment right now, for reference his parents are on vacation and enjoying the time of their life right now so in other words he's free from their clutches.

Though…his parents are not that strict to begin with.

Raido is walking right now on Korea's street, he is still trying to find an instant dungeon. It's been a week and he still can't find an instant dungeon.

[A presence belonging to a monarch was detected. Location: east of the host.]

Raido turns his head and saw a school. confuse he asked the system, 'System, what is a monarch?'

[The Absolute Being (God) in another world, split the forces of Light and the Dark into eight pieces each. These became the eight Rulers and eight Monarchs.]

[Their purposes set by the Absolute Being, the Monarchs wanted to destroy the Universe while the Rulers fought against them to maintain it.]

'What the fuck, how can I battle beings like that,' Raido thought.

[Use the system to level up and be more powerful than them.]

Raido got curious and thought, 'What is a Monarch even doing in this place.' He enters the school and uses the system to track the said Monarch.

Raido easily slips past the guards. Near the second floor, he saw two people that were taking the student's attention.

The system is pointing to the quite tall guy that makes the female students blush.

'That must be the shadow monarch, Inspect,' Raido mentally commands.

[Name: Sung Jin-Woo]

[HP: 11035.57]

[MP: 1023.89]

[Class: Shadow Monarch]

[Hunter Rank: S-Rank]

[Race: Monarch]

[Strength: 132](S-Rank)

[Vitality: 91](B-Rank)

[Agility: 111](A-Rank)

[Intelligence: 70](C-Rank)

[Sense: 93](B-Rank)

[Skills: Shadow Extraction(0mp), Save Shadow(0mp), Sprint(1Mana/m), Stealth(200mp, 10mp/s), Dominator's Touch(0mp)]

Raido observes that Jin-Woo's HP is abnormal, This is the first time he saw someone with higher health than him, given that Jin-Woo's vitality is 91.

But his MP is pitiful, but his skills cope with that, only the stealth skill will eat his mana.

[If I may add, The Shadow Monarch also has his own system, although more, more, more, more, more...infinitely weaker than yours.]

'Okay system, I totally believe you,' Raido thought with a blank expression.

As if sensing something, Jin-Woo turns his head towards Raido, who is leaning his back at the window and silently observing the Monarch.

Raido is wearing a simple long-sleeve white shirt and black pants, he played it cool by raising his hands and giving a wave.

Jin-Woo just nods then keeps walking. He thought that Raido is just another student or guardian in the school.

"What is it brother, what's wrong?" Sung Jin-Ah, Jin-Woo's sister asked.

"Nothing..." Jin-Woo replied and thought, 'I'm pretty sure, I felt death nearby.'

In a sense they are both on the same wavelength, while Jin-Woo has authority over death, Raido has authority over fear. Both have a significant power over the dark side of mana.

"Pst! That boy also looks good," some random female student murmur while pointing towards Raido.

"Yeah, I totally hit that ass," the male student replied.

Raido got goosebumps and quickly left the school.

Raido then continues to hunt for the precious instant dungeon, He plans to be reexamined after he reaches S-rank by stats alone.

After walking for hours, It's already afternoon when the system finally gave him the good news.

[Instant Dungeon detected near the host.]

'Finally! Precious Artifacts here I come!' Raido jumped in joy and runs toward the direction the system is pointing.
