A transparent blue screen appeared with golden text on it.

[Congratulations Player: Yuki Kaito]

[Level 2: Achieved]

A surge of power seemed to flow within Yuki. He felt lighter, faster, and stronger. He had gained an immense boost to all his stats.

There was one simple reason as to why there was exactly enough exp for only one player to reach level 2 in each forest. That being: Anyone who reaches level 2 gets a massive advantage as it proves that a person has become accustomed to the new world.

As the rest of the seven saw Yuki killing one of their members, they were enraged. It was as if they were sprinting towards Yuki as fast as they could. However, due to his increased stats, they looked to be in slow motion.

They all took turns hitting Yuki. They did all they could. Throwing punches, kicks, combo attacks, however, nothing they did seemed to work. It was as if they were fighting an Iron wall. Yuki's defense and resistance stats were so high that it didn't matter how many times they attacked, there was too large of a power difference between them.

Yuki enjoyed having power over others. It fueled his god complex. Once he had his fun, it was time to end things. Yuki planned on ending this with one hit.

[Set ability: Invisible domain: Incinerate]

[Specifications: Can only be applied within a 2-meter radius]

[Draw back: Each use of ability causes 1-hour extreme chest pain]

When the process finished, Yuki's remaining clone vanished as he had completed his purpose.

As the 6 remaining members prepare to deal the finishing blow to Yuki, he also prepares to finish them. They all start charging at Yuki from different directions. Yuki knows that he only has one shot at this.

He lets all of them make contact with him. It wasn't a big deal to him anyway since they didn't do any damage to him.

"Activate ability-" Yuki began to play his trump card.

Before he could finish, 5 out of the remaining 6 began to activate their abilities.

"Activate ability: +2 multiplier damage"

"Activate ability: +2 multiplier damage"

"Activate ability: +2 multiplier damage"

"Activate ability: +2 multiplier damage"

"Activate ability: +2 multiplier damage"

They had set up a 10 times multiplier in the damage they would inflict. As they made contact with Yuki, they broke many of his bones. Yuki's mind began to go crazy from the pain. While he was in agony, he couldn't let this chance escape him.

"Activate ability: Invisible domain: Incinerate"

A sphere began to form around everyone. From the outside, it was invisible. No one would be able to see what would go on in the next few seconds. However, from the inside, it was pitch black.

Right at the sphere finished forming, the second part of the ability activated. Fire enveloped everyone in it except Yuki. All of them burned to their deaths, or that's what it looked like to Yuki.

Once the sphere began to fall apart, he heard a voice.

"Activate ability: Wish of undying: 5 seconds"

"NOW ACTIVATE, MONSTER LURES!"

As that sentence finished, he heard a body fall to the ground.

[+15000 exp]

[Player name: Yuki Kaito]

[Level 2: 16400/40000]

Yuki began walking outside the sphere as it continued to deform. When he looked, all he could see was green gas. It was probably all the monster lures that were activated.

"What was even the point of that? I already killed every monster here," Yuki said out loud.

"Required time: 2 weeks passed since the death of the first monster"

"Monster respawn"

Just then, exactly 100 fell from the sky. Each one worth 100 exp which would equal 10000 exp.

"Oh shit!" Yuki said.

He knew why this was happening. It was perfectly coordinated and set up by the seven. They had all expected to die today at the hands of Yuki. They knew that Yuki would have a severe advantage over them once he had leveled up which was why 5 of them had made their abilities a damage multiplier. Even if that didn't work, they made a monster lure trap which was why the last member's ability was a life-saving one. There was no way of knowing the respawn rate without the assistance of the first member of the seven Yuki had killed. It was such a magnificent plan. There should have been absolutely no flaws. Unfortunately, the world isn't fair to everyone.

Giants, goblins, wild animals, and ogres surrounded Yuki. It seemed as if there was no way that he could escape let alone survive. He was placed in the center of a perfect trap. Technically an almost perfect one.

Yuki used his ability 10 times consecutively. He knew that he would pay for it later on but that didn't matter to him, all that mattered was his survival. Yuki had killed so much that it had become second nature to him. He enjoyed erasing creatures from existence. The sensation of removing someone and their legacy from the world brought him a certain type of joy. As he killed every monster, he began to smile then giggle until it had finally turned into laughter. He felt like he was at the top of the world. There was nothing that could stop him. Within merely 20 minutes, he had annihilated every monster that had appeared.

[Monsters killed: 100/100]

[Silver earned: 10000]

[Exp earned: 10000]

Player description:

[Yuki Kaito]

[Level: 2]

[Global Rank: #1]

It had been confirmed. Yuki was truly at the top of the world. Right as he began catching his breath, the announcement voice began speaking.

"Achievement unlocked: Monster hunter"

"Reward: Lucky Sword"

From the sky, a silver sword with blue energy emanating from it fell at a straight angle, making it sink into the ground.

Yuki pulled it out and gave it a quick look before placing it into his inventory.

While Yuki had acquired an abundance of happiness that day, he regretted one thing. He wanted to properly meet every member of the seven again. He had ignored their capabilities and thought of them as nothing more than fodder. If he wasn't the person who carved the new world, he surely would've been killed that day.
