**Chapter 6 - true enemy?**
Mathis hurriedly opens his shop and immediately purchases a healing potion and drinks it.
**Mathis's HP has been restored to full.**
"Phew.. that shop really saved me there." Mathis said before releasing a sigh of relief.
"What should we do about William?" Theeven asked with a curious expression.
Mathis contemplates his options before responding with -
"We should get out of here before he wakes up, if he does we won't survive this time."
Theeven nods, knowing that they only beat him out of luck.
The duo quickly leaves before William wakes up.
Mathis checks how the shops works.
"Seems that it uses coins, I seem to have had 5000 coins but used 500 for a full restoration potion." Mathis says to himself before closing the shop window.
The status window pops up -
'Quest: get ready for the true threat.
Requirement: survive.
Time limit: 1 day.
Penalty for failure: Death.
Rewards: 1 random skill (S grade.), 10000 shop coins.'
"We can't even catch a break.." Theeven says.
Before Mathis could say another word they are teleported to a black room instead. They couldn't see anything, all they could hear was steps around them.
"Are you here?!" Mathis yelled out to Theeven, his voice holding both fear and determination.
Yet he received no answer.
The only thing one could hear was the sounds of his own breathing and footsteps approaching rapidly.
Before Mathis even had time to think about creature strikes him out of nowhere, it was too dark to see what it was but it's arm seemed to be abnormally long.
Mathis's status window pops up -
"A simulation of the true threat(s) that will arrive have been created, Survive 1 day or kill the simulated creature to succeed."
Mathis hears a strike coming from the left and tries to dodge but the blow actually hits from behind, sending him flying a few feet away.
"This thing is no human, that's for sure.." Mathis said to himself, his voice shaky and filled with fear.
"I wonder if Theeven is going to survive this.. but it seems it isn't trying to kill me but is instead trying to make me attack it so it can study me." Mathis thought to himself as his mind races to find an option
Mathis unsheathes his concealed dagger.
**skill: solo buff lvl. 1 has been activated, all stats have been boosted by 25% for 2 minutes**
**skill: weapon mastery lvl. 1 has been activated**
"If you want to study me so badly.. then ill show you something to study!" Mathis yelled out to the creature, his confidence growing but the fear in his voice still showing.
Mathis slashes at his left, right, front, back.
Only to hit nothing as another blow comes from nowhere and even stronger than before.
As the blow lands on Mathis's side he gets sent flying around 6 feet.
"Gosh it hurts so much! It feels like I got hit with a 20KG piece of iron!" Mathis thought to himself.
Mathis immediately gets back up, changing strategies.
The creature strikes at mathis again but this time the moment the creature hits Mathis, Mathis slashes it.
The creature let's out a loud, ear piercing, guttural scream, it was inhumane.
It forces Mathis to cover his ears.
Mathis gets an idea, he pulls out his phone and uses his flashlight.
He gets a glimpse at the creature before the light of his phone was engulthed by the darkness of that place, it was terrifying with limbs longer than Mathis's body, it's body looked skinny like a twig though, and it's face looked rotten.
Mathis abit scared by the sight still decides to taunt it.
"You've got a face only a mother could love, and that's also debatable."
Before then charging at it, Mathis unleashes a barrage of slashes before landing the final strike.
Mathis blinks and finds himself back in Seoul again, Theeven was nowhere in sight.
