Leveling Error Part 2

< Mission Failed >

< Astral Player lost. >

< Player had failed the mission and failed to Level Up >

< Astral Player had to wait for the Level Up until the System fix Astral Player's Core problem. >

" Shit..., really now! "

< I'm sorry Astral Player Shiro but, this is the reality I should relay to you, for I am obliged to always tell you the truth. >

" Go to hell, System... " Shiro says as he lands on the ground, the land inside the hollow desert, an unknown place that is so dark, it could be made the System confused regarding the identity or the name of this very place.

" Where are we? what is this place, System? " Shiro lands in the pond below, a pond that suddenly appears out of nowhere to save Shiro's HP from falling damage.

" A ... *blurp* ... pond...? " Shiro breathes as he swims to the shore while he immediately analyzes the whole place that he is sucked into.

" System!!! " Shiro says as he then realizes the place he's in, for the System had shown him the Map, the Map of the place he's in right now.

< MAP: >

< Hueco Desierto Under, Subterráneo >

< Map Explored: 0.45%/100.00% >

" Dammit, this is nuts... " Shiro says as the System gives him some annoying notifications that made him pissed every time.

< EXP Gathering Failed. >

< EXP Gathering Failed. >

< Level Up Failed. >

< Level Up Failed >

< Astral Core Error >

< Error Code 505 >'

< ______________ >

< System Error >

< Immediately Repairing the Error, Confirmed. >

While the System notifies the progress, Shiro then asks the System to create the System Space Barrier again in order to talk privately with the System, which made him pissed by the second since the System always outrightly rejects his very requests to talk in private.

< Request Failed. >

< Sorry Astral Player Shiro, I can't deal with your request. >

< Please wait until I notified you that the problem is being finished. >

" Dammit! " Shiro shouts while slicing the rock near him.

As he sliced it, he then sees that there was an item inside that very rock, a normal item called

< Item: [Carroñero's Tooth] >

< Type: Material >

< A severed tooth from a Carroñero-Type Incursor Hollow that died after some time, making the rest of its body part fossilized. >

< Effect: This item has no unique effect, but it can be used as an item craft material. >

...

" I'll take it... " Shiro says.

< 10x Carroñero's Tooth acquired. >

< Adding the item to the Inventory. >

" I hope I can make an Item outta these. " Shiro says as he hoped he can craft some items after some time of Leveling Up.

As he walks in the place, he never once sheath his weapon for he knows well that in this place, there are many dangers that will await him at any time.

"( Since I'm stuck in Level 1, I might as well be damned if I fight another higher-level enemy. )" Shro says while hearing a voice.

"( Shit, I hate it when I'm right. )" Shiro immediately says as he hides in the nearby rock while waiting for the enemy to come.

< (!) Enemy Detected (!) >

< Scanning >

< Identifying Enemy >

< Enemy Identified >

< Enemy: Carroñero Paquetes (10/10) >

< Overall Level: Level 2 >

...

As Shiro waits for the Incursor Hollow Spirits, he then sees the Carroñeros that came in his direction, the Carroñeros are big in size despite their low levels, making them an easy spot for Shiro who already targeted them firsthand.

" I just need to kill one or two of them. " Shiro says as he then decides to immediately attack one Carroñero first as he immediately slashed them, killing one of them as he wants to gather the trash EXPs, acquired from the lower level Spirits.

< Carroñero slained (1/10) >

< (!) Notification (!) >

< The other Carroñeros now realized the Astral Player's presence in the area. >

As it happens, the Carroñeros immediately realized where Shiro is and they immediately bombard Shiro with their numbers, despite Shiro managing to kill them all after some time and almost getting the rewards, but unfortunately.

< EXP Gathering Failed. >

< EXP Gathering Failed. >

< Level Up Failed. >

" GRAHH!!!!!!!!!! " Shiro roars in anger, roaring so high since his anger over his very condition pissed him the most.

" Why can't I Level Up!!!? " Shiro shouts, unnoticing that his voice will attract many Carroñeros that populate the entire place, as it happens, Shiro was then surrounded while he responds to them by attacking and slashing them using his Weapon despite he knows that it is useless for the EXP Gathering constantly failed to be gathered.

" WHY? WHY? WHY? " Shiro asks while killing the enemies despite he knows that his EXP Gathering constantly fails miserably.

" System!!! " Shiro shouts while the System never answered him if it had completely fixed the problem in his Astral Core.

" System, have you fixed my Astral Core or not!? " Shiro grunts while slaying the Carroñeros but still the notification tells him that his EXP Gathering is failed.

During his constant questions, System then tells Shiro that the Astral Core's fixing is in progress and also tells Shiro to patiently wait for the fixing process since Shiro's Astral Core is having many problems that could take many years to fix and Shiro needs to wait in order for his fixing process to be...

" Shut up, you're reasonings are too long! "

" So can't you fix my Astral Core or not? " Shiro asks while the System just replied in silence for it has no answers to reply.

< I will tell you soon, Astral Player Shiro. >

< (^-^) >

< My regards. > System says as it leaves Shiro alone in the Subterráneo.

As Shiro hears it, he then falls to the ground for he thought that in death, he would find peace, but in reality, death was only the continuation or only the sequel of his suffering during his lifetime in the world of the living.

" Dammit, this is unfair... " Shiro cries while being alone as he remembers his past that slowly comes into his head.

" This ... is ... madness... "

" How can I always get to suffer either in life or death? " Shiro protests as he then grips the ground for he still remembers the hatred he brings after his life was over.

" I will survive..., I don't know why but I will survive... "

" I don't care if I will be stuck in Level 1 for ages to come or not but I'll assure you all of those who make me suffer that I will be powerful enough to even return to the world of the living."

" This is my sole promise. " Shiro says as his mind is getting more delusional after feeling so depressed.

< Madness increased by 0.95% >

< The Astral Player's anger had slowly awakened the power of madness that every Astral Being would have after they died. >

...

( At the same time. )

" We have tracked a Spirit that had the power of Madness in this Desierto. "

" The Madness is faint, but it is still the Power of Madness that- "

" Dismiss it. "

" We're not here to just destroy a random crazed Spirit. " the Soul guy says as he led the Souls, the Astral Race of the dead humans to hunt a Hollow in the Hueco Desierto.
