Chapter 74 - Predicament

________________

Abandoned City,

Coming to a new world, Lev opened his eyes and saw how bad and sad the surrounding area was. Ruined buildings, damaged cars, and motorbikes were all over the place. In addition, there were no signs of humans or even animals in the area which could only mean that the place he was in had been abandoned.

Following that, the first thing Lev did was to examine his body and could only sigh after he felt too weak right now compared to before but despite being stripped of all the powers that he had, he still could feel the strength that no ordinary human could have.

Just when Lev finished organizing his thoughts, a monster with a giant tail sporting an ogre-like face from the distance started coming his way. He was familiar with this monster as he had seen its illustration before, however, seeing it in person made him think that it was really way too scarier and horrible unlike what it portrayed.

Seeing that Lev did not move, the monster rushed towards him before jumping up while opening its mouth ready to devour him.

On the other hand, Lev summoned Infinity and thought of transforming it into a Sword. Looking at the monster in front of him, he wasn't scared in the slightest as he had faced more horrible and powerful creatures back in the previous world.

Lev with his swordsmanship parred the incoming attack but something unexpected happened upon seeing the monster's tail coming right at him, he was confident to evade it but somehow his body could not keep up with his thoughts and was hit, and crashed towards the nearby car.

"Cough..Cough." Lev, contrary to what he visualized, coughed up blood. It was his first getting careless and getting hurt like this. He looked at the side of his stomach and saw it bleeding. He gritted his teeth as he looked at the monster coming on his way again.

Lev took out a health potion in his inventory and drank it in a hurry before jumping off and safely evading and seeing the monster's tail breaking the damaged car into pieces. Imagining himself getting hit by it, he then did not wait as he started running and hiding in a building.

"Shit. I'm used to fighting with my full power and now being restricted, my body could not keep up with my thoughts. I need to get used to this or I will meet my end here." Lev said as he realized the problem. He had also realized that this might also be what the Gods back then felt when fighting him. He felt pathetic thinking that he was even proud of it not knowing what they were dealing with.

"There's no use thinking about it. I should find a way first how to deal with this monster." Lev said as he calmed himself down. After a minute, he then grips Sword Infinity tightly in his hands before getting out of the building with determination.

As if sensing something, the monster looked in the direction of a particular building and there it saw Lev standing. Following that, it then immediately rushes toward him.

"If I want to get used to this weak body. There's no other fast way other than to fight." Lev determinedly said as he looked at Sword Infinity in his hand and trusted himself. He knew the consequence if he could not achieve it but he's willing to risk it all since he would be good as dead if he could not.

Following that, Lev then strides forward to face the monster.

...…..

---Five Minutes later---

"Sighh..." Lev could be seen sitting down on the ground with his shirt showered by blood. He was looking at the dead body of the monster in front of him with relief before letting himself lie down and look up to the sky.

[Small Type: Ogretail has been killed.]

[1,000 True God Coins earned.]

[Small Core has been collected.]

"It took me five minutes to bring it down. What's worse is that it was even a small type of monster. Am I that weak?" Lev said while recalling all that happened in the past five minutes. If not because of his battle experiences and somehow his sturdy body, he would be dead by now. However, he knew where the problem lay and that was, he still could not grasp the strength of his body right now and was even being almost eaten.

"Haha. What a predicament." Lev followed. He thought that the restriction wasn't normal but when he pondered deeply about it, he got into this situation because he used his physical strength this time unlike when he was in Douluo Dalu with a spirit skill that only consumed his immeasurable mana.

Resting for a while, Lev then got up while stretching his body before hearing a screech in the distance and there he saw two same types of monsters that he killed rushing toward his location.

"Just at the right time." Even with his situation, Lev could still put on a smile as he looked at the incoming monsters or Aragami they called. Yes, Aragami, as Lev chose the world of God Eater, where Aragami drives humanity to the brink of extinction. However, no matter how much braveness Lev puts into himself, the feeling of being killed makes him shake and get nervous.

________________

---Night---

In a room inside a ruined building,

After a whole day of fighting, Lev could be seen in a room quietly with bandages all over his body while looking through his status. He had fought with his life on the line this time with nothing but physical strength. Remembering the past, he hardly got hurt and injured back in Douluo Dalu since he could spam many spirit skills to kill his enemy, and the stronger he became the faster his body could heal, unlike now seeing the bondages with a hint of red on it while covering the injuries that he suffered.

"It's Oracle Power this time, huh." Lev muttered upon looking at the new section on his status just below the Spirit Power section.

[Spirit Power: 150 (MAX)(Locked)]

[Oracle Power: Level 1]

[Ding!!!]

[World-Level Quest triggered.

Description: Gather the following.

Small Core: 25/500,000

Medium Core: 0/100,000

Large Core: 0/50,000

Rewards: World Ticket x 15, Weapon Enhancing Card, Random Bloodline Card

(Note: The host needs to complete the quest before he can go back to Earth.)]

Reading the world quest, Lev looked and thought that the mission this time was easy. However, as easy as it may be, it's hard for him to do now unless he gets used to his body and increases his combat strength. Fortunately, he had chosen to enter the world a year before the protagonist would start his journey which made him feel great relief.

"A year should be more than enough to let me adjust to my body. Also, I shouldn't rely too much on using Supernatural Skills this time and hone my Combat Skills instead since they were the thing that would help me in the long run." Lev said. Having seen the consequence of relying too much on Supernatural Skills after what happened in the morning, he realized the importance of Combat Skills, thus, what he needs to focus on now is to maintain his body in perfect shape and condition.

Not long after that, Lev was now ready to eat the food that he was cooking after smelling the fragrance that it was making. He then looked down and started eating while still looking at his status screen.

'System, show me the conversion rate of True God Coins I could get from killing Aragamis.' Lev ordered since all this time, never once did he forget his goal of accumulating True God Coins so he could buy something in the store when he needed it.

[Small Type Aragami = 1,000 True God Coins

Medium Type Aragami = 10,000 True God Coins

Large Type Aragami =100,000 True God Coins

Deusphages = 1,000,000 God Coins

Psions = 1,000,000 True God Coins

Arc Abberants = 1,000,000 True God Coins

Ashborn = 1,000,000 True God Coins

Adaptives = 1,000,000 True God Coins

Ashwrought = 1,000,000 True God Coins]

Lev looked at it carefully and studied it for a while before he remembered something on his inventory that he still hadn't used until now.

'System, use two of my Random Skill Cards.' Lev thought that it was now the right time to use them so he ordered while hoping to get a useful one upon seeing that he's lacking skills to use for combat.

[Random Skill Card has been used.]

[Generating Skill]

[Bansho Ten'in has been learned.]

[Flying Thunder God Technique has been learned.]

Seeing the skill that he obtained, Lev then carefully read the description, however, a disappointed look could be seen on his face after knowing what it was.

[Bansho Ten'in

Tier: 1

Type: Active

Description: It is a technique that manipulates attractive force to pull matter towards the host at will.]

[Flying Thunder God

Tier: 3

Type: Active

Description: One must first mark a target and by entering a dimensional void, users can instantly teleport to the location of anything marked whether a tool, place, or person that was branded, regardless of distance.]

"I was expecting to get Combat Skills. However, these two will do." Lev said. He was really expecting a Combat Skill, not a supernatural one, however, thinking that it wouldn't be locked the next time he went to another world, he still felt satisfied with it, quite satisfied in fact.

"By the way, system, how do Combat Skill and Supernatural Skill differ?" Lev asked after thinking carefully about it since all the Supernatural Skills that he got last world were also suitable to be called Combat Skills and yet they were not.

[Combat Skills are skills that mainly use and rely on one's body without support from any external power. On the other hand, Supernatural Skills are skills that mainly use or rely on the host mana.]

Knowing such important information, Lev then did not continue to ask any further questions and started eating since he needed to replenish all the energy he had spent when suddenly he saw someone staring at him with a curious look on her face. Upon realizing this, he immediately backed off and took some distance, and summoned Infinity with haste.

'H-How? No, when did she even come this close?" Lev's eyebrows knitted while looking at the girl in front of him. He was wondering how and when did she come to such distance without him noticing. He was gripping Sword Infinity tightly ready to fight when suddenly he saw something unexpected.

The girl wasn't bothered by the weapon in Lev's hand as she kept on looking at him with curiosity before she moved towards the food that he made and started eating it hungrily with her two hands despite it just being cooked and hot.

Lev looked at the girl for a while before lowering his guard seeing her showing no malice. He then put away Infinity as he walked closer, sat down in front of her, and let her eat the food that he made for himself.

Meanwhile, the girl looked at Lev with sparkling eyes while she kept on stuffing the food in her mouth seeing it bulging which was making her cute and harmless.

Looking closely, Lev seems to remember someone upon seeing the girl. She has pale white skin and white hair with her yellow eyes while wearing torn clothes to cover her body. He kept on looking while giving her bread before finally realizing who she was.

'What a coincidence.' Lev sighed upon seeing how happy the girl had become. He then just inwardly summons Sia, the only summon that he could call right now since she was not bound by the restriction upon being summoned in the Main World. Following that, the three of them then eat in the dark and cold night.

________________

---Eleven months later---

---Night---

It has been eleven months since Lev arrived on this world and the story was about to start anytime soon, however, he was still a little far from the place where the main story would begin as he chose to transfer to a place far from the setting to avoid getting involved with characters early.

During these eleven months, Lev worked really hard just like he promised. He forced his body to stand up to fight with nothing but his physical strength and pushed it to the limit. He had trained non-stop for eleven months and tried using every weapon he could use. He could not even remember the number of Aragamis he had killed on his journey as he continued to level up over time.

At this moment, Lev could be seen in a room of an abandoned building while relaxing in a portable bathtub that he bought from the store. The water that he was using was also something that he bought as there was really no longer clean water in the area.

Having been training physically for almost a year, Lev's body had become more perfect and sturdier than before. He comes to know upon being stripped of his power, that his body has totally changed and the reason was due to the fact that some of his bones were composed with Soul Bones though he could not use their abilities.

Lev looked at his status carefully, especially on his Combat & Supernatural (Retain) Skill Section. Over the months, aside from Ren Kugi Punch, a supernatural skill he got from the weekly sign-in, he also used most of his precious True God Coins to buy important and necessary additional skills as he realized that no matter how badly he wanted to accumulate True God Coins that he even spent some of the wealth for the three of them, his safety was still his first priority since he won't be able to spend them if his dead.

[Ren Kugi Punch

Throughout these eleven months, Lev had also used different kinds of weapons including but not limited to, bo, axe, whip, spear, gun, scythe, and knife, and with the help of the skill 'Skill combination', he combined them into one and the same happened to his martial arts.

Lev, after all these months, did not even use the Random Job Card thinking that he might first be used to his strength and abilities for now before using and familiarizing another, despite knowing that it would greatly help him.

"Lev, are we leaving again?" Suddenly, a girl's voice could be heard inside the room.

Lev looked down and saw a girl with no clothes leaning on his chest. This was the girl who he had met eleven months ago and since then started accompanying him. Thinking about it now, he still couldn't believe how the two of them met in such a way since she was actually no ordinary girl. Her name is Shio, one of the most mysterious but at the same key character of this world.

Seeing Shio's naked body, especially her cute little breasts, Lev could not resist himself but reach them out. He has been holding himself back on not moving against her but as days and months continued to pass, he started reaching his limit too despite having Sia all the time.

"aahh." The innocent Shio moaned and could only look at Lev while blushing. She doesn't know why Lev liked doing it to her but as she felt good every time he did it, she started letting him do it every now and then and only continue to feel good when Lev started sucking it while he rubs his hard thing on her butt.

Lev continues to massage Shio's cute little breasts before stopping and giving her a small kiss on her forehead. Shio, after the unexpected meeting, was a girl who couldn't speak many words and her knowledge of common sense was quite limited.

"What word did you learn from your sister Sia today?" Lev asked instead of answering as he tasked Sia with this matter and started teaching her every free time and even gave her a tablet with a portable internet connection so that her vocabulary and knowledge would increase.

"Hehehehe. I've learned something today. And it's about this." Shio smiled excitedly wanting to show Lev what she had learned as she grabbed his cock from below and held it with her two hands.

"Ahhng…A-And what did you learn about it?" Lev asked as he grunted with pleasure after feeling her small little soft hands holding his cock. He then thought inwardly, 'Just why does Sia teach her something like that?'

"Sister Sia taught me that this thing is called a penis and mine is called a vagina. Also. I saw it on the tablet that 'them' being together could produce life, a baby. Lev! Lev! Let's make a baby." Shio excitedly said while looking at Lev. She has always been a curious person and knowing about such things made her want to do it.

"Hohh. So, you've learned about this, however, did you not read that doing so is a very painful thing? Do you still want to do it? Also, don't call it penis and vagina, cock and pussy are more appropriate terms." Lev said with an evil smile. He was surprised to know what she had learned today, especially things about these kinds of stuff.

"Eeehhhh!?" Shio reacted with a surprised look. She looked at Lev first before looking at his cock again while comparing it to the hole of her pussy. Recalling what she learned and what Sia had told her about, she stiffened by looking at it as it showed that it needed to get inside her.

…..Boom….

"Hehe. Put your clothes on so that we can eat our dinner." Hearing the commotion outside, Lev then caressed her head before he stood up and got out of the bathtub. Sia was probably the cause of that explosion so he wanted to see what was happening and with that, he then left the room.

Hearing the word 'dinner', Shio immediately forgot about other things as she excitedly got out of the bathtub and followed. One thing that she really likes is eating especially the food that Lev makes.

________________

---The next day---

Lev, Sia, and Shio were already on the road while riding a motorbike for the whole day. They had already traveled quite a distance as the sky was about to turn dark soon. However, they can't seem to stop after seeing several Aragamis following them from behind.

'This won't do. Unless we kill them all here, we should not think of having a good rest tonight.' Lev thought about their situation. They have been riding without stopping all day and taking aggro of every Aragami that they will come in contact with.

While driving the motorbike, Lew then saw an open space in the distance and thought of dealing with the problem once and for all. Right after that, Lev then accelerated to get ahead first as he also never wanted to waste such precious experience and God Cores.

Not long after that, it didn't take long before they arrived seeing them standing in an open space with the motorbike already nowhere to be found after being recalled to Lev's inventory.

"Sia. Shio. I'll leave the smaller ones to the both of you while I deal with the rest." Lev said while looking at the Aragamis consisting of small and medium types that were now getting closer to them. He was not even worried about the two of them as they had fought together how many times already during their months of being together and knew that they could handle themselves.

"Yes, Master." Sia, with the Gáe Buidhe: Yellow Rose of Mortality in her hand, looked at the incoming Aragami. Living in this apocalyptic world where law no longer applied, she could unleash all the powers that she had been hiding back on Earth and it was only until her coming to this world did she could go all out.

"Mmm." On the other hand, Shio replied but there was a small hint of sadness in her eyes. However, she still takes out her strange weapon and points it toward the Aragamis since she also knows about their viciousness.

Lev, knowing Shio's nature, caressed her head before shifting his focus to the incoming horde of Aragamis. After minutes of waiting, he then started running towards the swarming Aragamis. With his current level, it would be a hard battle, however, he thought that it was still manageable.

Bravely facing them, Lev then started building up power from his right hand as if he was counting numbers in ascending order, and after building enough, he stretched out his left hand toward the direction of the Aragamis.

"Bansho Ten'in." Lev used an ability and right after that, a group of Aragamis, particularly the small types, started floating a little before they were being pulled and started flying toward his direction at great speed despite being several bigger and heavier than him.

"15 Ren Kugi Punch." Lev used another ability as he unleashed the power he had built up and punched it out to the Aragami's head which then created a number of surreal, delayed shock waves upon contact.

After being hit, the Aragami flew back while hitting the others on the way and continued before its body exploded as it could not contain the power of the punch anymore. However, he was still not done seeing him taking out a knife in his inventory before throwing it out toward the horde.

With the use of Flying Thunder God Technique, Lev teleported beside the knife and so appeared right in front of an Aragami, and used another Ren Kugi Punch. With that, he then continues using the two abilities all the while leveling them up.

Lev knew that one Ren Kugi Punch was not strong enough but it was still effective to slowly penetrate the enemies' inside. This skill was very effective against those with great defense since it had a penetrative ability. The enemy or the Aragami might not be killed immediately but what about five, ten, fifty, or a hundred of such punches? It's a ridiculous thing to do given that continuous usage of the skill puts a strain on one's arms but with the help of his passive skill 'Regeneration", he could abuse in doing so.

Following that, Lev then continues what he was doing before he started using his two Infinities and transforms them into the most applicable weapon appropriate to every situation together with Flying Thunder God Technique all the while his Observation Haki has put to use.
