The Cheat Seed

Chapter 6

"That Dungeon...was never a Dungeon at all"

"Eh?"

*Chuckle*

"You'll understand it all in the future. After all, we both have the same responsibility on our shoulders right now"

"Its better that I don't ask anymore, The more I want to know, the more I get confused."

"Yep that's waaaaay better"

Emperor replied, literally dragging the word 'way' for a whole minute.

He patted Marcus's shoulder and then bend himself on his knees to come Face to face with Marcus.

"Now let's speak about what you have to do Marcus"

"What I have to do huh?"

"You ready?"

The Flame Emperor asked stepping back and looking down at Marcus.

Marcus took a deep breath.

"I AM"

*Grin*

"Okay Marcus, Then let's start our Intense Training regimen"

"Intense training regimen? Wha.."

Marcus got cut midsentence by a Loud 'Snap'.

Thousand of Demon Ogres Appeared in front of him and The Emperor. But Marcus's eyes narrowed when he thought they seemed a bit different from what his textbooks had said.

"Demon Ogres?"

Marcus lost his balance for a second as he remembered the Monsters before him was ranked Demon Monarch.

Not one of them, but all. Will He have to Face a thousand Ogres? who were one of the strongest in the Demon Monarch rank.

Marcus regained himself and struggled as he poked The Flame Emperor beside him.

"Hm?"

"What's this?"

Marcus questioned pointing to the still Ogre Army whose eyes were glowing green.

"This is the Ogre Army and You Marcus...Have to Terminate them all"

"Funny!"

"This is no fun my child, I get serious once it gets to the matter of strength and training."

*Gulp*

He gulped as he heard the Flame Emperor. It mist have been the truth since Flame Emperor looked so stiff. He was very, very serious!.

"Ever heard of Tutorial's?"

".....Yea, It's those guidelines for starters at the beginning of something new."

"Exactly, This is your Tutorial and this is your Tutorial mission."

"Hm?, And How am I supposed to finish this T-U-T-O-R-I-A-L??"

Marcus replied boldly for the first time.

"With your bare hands"

"Yea...What?"

Marcus shifted his gaze to The Emperor.

"You said you wouldn't joke!"

"And I'm Not joking!"

Without letting Marcus say anything, He pushed him towards the Ogre army.

"As I said this is a Tutorial Mission, You won't die. Every time you die you will be respawned to the Respawn circle. Let me give you a hint to pass this one"

*PAUSE*

"You-Have-To-Reach-Your-Limits"

Snapping his fingers once again, He collapsed the land area around him and Marcus, Making the part in which Marcus stood fall down to an Abyss hole.

Marcus who was falling into the abyss, felt the time slow down. He felt he was floating, but his senses came back as soon as he landed on the land with a 'THUD'.

A Yellow circle glowed below him as he slowly stood up, balancing himself on his hands and raising his body from the rocky ground.

"This must be my respawn point"

His gaze darted over to the Ogre Army. Standing tall and buff, every one of them looked menacing.

Marcus was trembling. He hadn't even faced a Demon soldier ranked Monster but now, he was being told to destroy an entire fleet of thousand Demon Monarch ranked Ogres.

"If this is the Tutorial, I wonder how tough the Main objectives would be"

He stepped out of the circle and slowly started walking to the Army of Ogres.

"Oi, Marcus remember!! Use your Anger as your power. Manipulate your emotions as your own power"

Marcus's head snapped when The Flame Emperor shouted from Above.

"Oi geezer, When I come back, I'm gonna kick your Ass to Oblivion"

"KEKEKEKE, Let's see"

With a Smug look on his Face, The Emperor sealed the Opening and closed off Marcus.

Everything was black now. There was no light anywhere except on the land. Everything else was pitch black outside.

The Green Eyes of the Ogres shifted to red as they started rumbling. Marcus was caught by surprise and readied his fists in a boxer stance by instinct. The Ogres started moving slowly towards Marcus. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

'TSK, What a Mess'

As an Ogre closed the distance, Marcus swung his fist in defence. It hit the Ogre's belly with a 'Thwack'.

"OWWW, OWWW, OWWW"

Marcus cried grabbing his wrist. It was glowing red with pain. It struck Marcus as he thought back about the Class at his academy.

Ogres had the most durable skin in the Demon Monarch rank. Some of the rare species had burning and acidic skin.

The Ogre in front of him was one of the Rare species. The higher Ogre species, An 'Ogretto'.

[DURA+10k]

A message popped up in front of his eyes as Marcus cowered before the Ogretto. He remembered seeing these type of Popups in games and *Demi comics*.

Dura meant Durability. Which also meant his Durability had increased by 10 thousand just because of a frail punch he landed on the Monster before him.

"So this is what He meant by reaching my limits huh?"

Marcus Grinned and looked at the Ogretto.

It raised it's huge battle axe and fixed it's sight on him.

'SWOOSH'

'SLASH'

Marcus's Head dropped, It rolled down to the Ogretto's feet 'TAP' and got motionless. His eyes were staring directly at the Monster's eye's, his expression twisted and a huge smile spread across his face.

The body along with the head turned to ash. A Golden light started shining and wind whooshed out of nowhere.

[You Died, Respawning]

Another message popped as Marcus reappeared from thin air inside the respawn circle. He had his head low, His sight fixed at the ground. His lips were spread into a wide grin.

"HAHAHHA, Come at me you Ugly one of a Mistake"

Marcus said as he looked up at the Monster. His eyes had a different type of vibe now. It felt as if it were burning..WITH RAGE!.

"Turn my anger into my own power huh, He's called an Emperor for some reason."

*Step*

*Step*

*Step*

Marcus started walking and then increased his pace until he started running full speed towards the Ogretto.

*Punch*

*Kick*

*Kick*

*Punch*

Marcus started rampaging, connecting his blows to the Monster before him. Even though it was of no use in hurting the Ogretto, Marcus felt exhilarating as adrenaline pumped throughout his body and he got bombarded with messages.

[Dura +10k]

[Dura +10k]

[Dura +10k]

[Dura +10k]

[Dura +10k]

More messages started appearing on the screen as he continued his combo streak of 15 hits, all while the Ogretto looked at him confused. It finally came back to its senses as Marcus hit it 20 times. The Ogretto grasped it's axe and swung it hard yet again.

But it had no effect on Marcus. The Axe went through his body but left a scratch on his shoulder. Marcus's eyes shot up as he opened his eyes which he had closed when the Monster swung its weapon.

He continued hitting combos after combos on the Monster.

He didn't die. That meant his Durability had Increased far more than the Attack damage of the Ogretto per strike.

It was a small step but it was more than enough to make Marcus excited.

The Next strike hit him hard on his shoulder and broke his 35 combo streak.

A message popped up as soon as his vision went blank.

[You Died].
