Shadow Monarch: Multiverse Ascendance

And just by looking at how fast my mana regaining speed is (3933/3933 R: 13.87%(540.23) per minute) I don't think I will ever run out of mana just by using skills I currently possess.

His remaining 3913 's speed was pretty good at least for current me, but still not enough as he was aware of skills that could cost Millions of mana points..'

' All because I decided to invest a good amount of stat points in intelligence and I already got a huge boost when I came to this world and with the skill I developed had healed me reach the place I stand still I will gain more it's feeble if I count skills like Call Greater Thunder, Black Lightning, Gravity, Ice Age, Sheer Cold, Climaty

Meteor, FireStorm, Judgment, Holly Smite, Resurrection, True Sun, True Resurrection, Fortress, Grasp Heart, Earthquake, Wind Blade Shower, Dragons Breath, Megiddo, Void Attack, and so much more that I can't even describe Mana cost...

They will drain current me faster than I could cast them.

But that's also the fun and excitement. Growing stronger and stronger.. not just stopping at becoming death itself the Shadow Monarch No growing even past him there was horror that could just kill just by breathing or even existing on the same dimension as him. 

in the multiverse,  there exists an absolute unbendable rule one that not only surpasses the very laws of nature but also bypasses their very purpose completely for those who are lucky enough to have reached a level in which this rule applies to them well these laws of

nature would then become nothing more than unique cases to them mere fundamentals of the world that could simply be ignored or manipulated.

ultimate power the unrivalled ability to treat the very laws of nature as nothing more than trivial suggestions of course the extent to which that's

possible varies from person to person. 

law manipulation while this does provide him access to every skill obtained via the food chain there's a whole other side to it that provides even more one that allows for complete control

over every magical and scientific phenomenon, this could be anything from the four major elements and the laws that govern them all the way to the magicals in the air and the spells

produced by them literally all matter magic and particles along with fundamental properties like heat inertia and gravity could now be freely

manipulated by it. Then skills like Time, Space, Life, Death, Matter,  Molecules, Darkness, Light, Nuclear,  Fusion,  and so much more. 

And to these skills, I had to travel this multiverse to get to a world that could provide me with these ultimate skills pinnacle of power. A world such as Tensura, Fate, WarHammer 40K, DxD, One Piece, To Aru, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Dragon Ball, Second Life Ranker, AOT, Against The Gods, Jijustu Kaisen, Naruto, Re-Zero, The Seven Deadly Sins, Warrior High School - Dungeon, Raid Department, Standard of Reincarnation, Solo Max-Level Newbie, Tower of god, Kaiju no 8, Chainsaw man, Obtained a Mythic Item, Drug-Eating Genius Mage, How to Live as a Villain, The S-Classes That I Raised, I Grow Stronger By Eating, Pick Me Up! The Lone Necromancer, Swordmaster's Youngest Son!

And so much more to do for little lol me. After all, in An Infinite Number of Universes, if there's an unlimited number of worlds then there will be ones where fiction is reality, so somewhere out there everything is real, and I could be fiction.

And it doesn't bother me, I know I am real and I am living how I want. 

But before all that, I had to find a way to world jump which is not an easy thing, it's not easy at all. But I will find it. I had to if I didn't want to live a miserable life. 

Let's just hope the system has some way to do it. As I know no matter how similar this system looks to the original story. I know it's not as it's giving me skills that don't even belong to this world, and traits themselves prove it's either a different system or a modified one... 

And I think it is most likely a modified one as the Unknown Title Skill The Way of the Shamblu. Had modified the system...  It will continue. 

And I also had to find out what the skill does and who it belongs to.  

Does it belong to the being who sent me here... 

Shamblu sounds like the name of some demon.  

So it could be a path to Shamblu?  

But in reality, who knows? 

So for now I am stuck on a standstill. '

'Ok let's relax Jinwoo, you don't have to hurry up so soon, you aren't even on a level in which you could defeat a full flag A-rank. '

Moving on, I do have 5 remaining stat points

Using those points in the other four attributes equaled directly strengthening my flesh and blood.  In the end, I decided that I would just increase my mana stat tediously after absorbing Dragon Veins and Ley lines. The stat points would be distributed into the other, more useful stats.

'Stat points…'

After thinking about putting them into intelligence, Jinwoo instead put one point into each of his stat equally. 

Stats

Strength: 86

Constitution: 74

Agility: 97

Intelligence: 164

Sense: 94

(Available stat points: 0)

Physical damage reduction: 25%

Magical damage reduction: 15%

Mana Consumption reduction: 16%

Power of Magic attacks increased: 13%

As Jinwoo smiled in satisfaction,

SHAAAAAKE!

The Dungeon's interiors shook as if the world was ending.

'Has it already been one hour?'

There was no time to delay anymore.  Jinwoo closed his stat screen. He had purposely waited inside until right before the Gate would close. He didn't want anyone to come here to retrieve the dead bodies because most of them were turned into husks and had one inside his inventory.  Staying here any longer would mean that he would never be able to leave. Jinwoo did a final check before leaving he canceled the stealth skill and left the boss room.

'Let's see, I got all the magic cores…'

There was nothing he had forgotten.  After going over every detail, Jinwoo quickly ran through the Dungeon.

SHAAAAAAKE!!!

As if telling him to leave, the Dungeon shook intensely again.

Right on time, the Association's investigators and employees also waiting for him.  They watched Jinwoo exit the Gate just as it closed and asked,

"H-Hunter-nim! Are there any other survivors?"

"No."

"Oh no!"

The employee's expressions hardened.  9 people had entered the Dungeon; only 3 had come out alive.  This would be yet another major incident for the Association in the area.  Faced with the prospect of a second incident, the Association employees assigned to this sector grimaced.  They wanted to enter the Dungeon themselves to check for survivors, but they were waiting for Jinwoo to come so they know the boss is dead. But now the Gate has already closed. This was the reason why Jinwoo had purposely waited until the last minute to exit.

'Can't let them know what happened to the corpse and why one corpse is missing....'

Now, the only witnesses were the three that had survived.  An employee started talking hesitantly,

"Just now... we've received the confession of Gold Mountain Company's president over the phone."

Song Chiyeol stepped forward,

"The president of Gold Mountain Company?"

"Yes, he's one of the prisoner's victim's father who had contacted HSD Hunter Kang Taeshik for an assassination."

"Ah…"

The employee explained that once he had heard that Kang Taeshik had succeeded in killing the prisoner, the president of the company had confessed to everything.

'Well, it wasn't Kang Taeshik, but me…' Jinwoo thought.

The police had gone to the company president, and the Association had come to the Gate.

After a moment of silence, Jinwoo asked,

"So there are no problems, right?"

The employee responded embarrassingly,

"Yes, I suppose so."

Kang Taeshik's crimes had a clear evidence, and the three survivors had fought him for their own lives.  As Jinwoo said, there were indeed no problems. Except one.

The employee asked about something that was troubling him,

"Who killed the B-rank Hunter Kang Taeshik?"

Having just arrived, the employees had not heard this part of the story yet as they were busy and they wanted to hear the story from the mouths of all three to confirm that they were telling the truth. Plus it's only been a few since they arrived here.  The distance to the Association HQ was far from here, and the employees had hurriedly made efforts to arrive before the Gate closed.  They all looked very tired.

Jinwoo wasn't going to open his mouth unless he got the confirmation that no one will come forward…

As he can't risk exposing his rank to the Association.

If the truth comes out, he would have to undergo a retest and have his rank raised.  Once that happened, his part in Yoo Jinho's plans would be over. After all, what the young man needed was not only a skilled Hunter but a low ranking one.  Once he received his new rank, Jinwoo would no longer qualify.

And he needed to remain E-Rank until he had 100 strong shadow soldiers and he had gone through the ritual of absorption of Dragon Veins and Let Lines.

'It would be a big disappointment to do it now?'

Jinwoo imagined Yoo Jinho's disappointed face.  Instead of feeling sorry, he actually felt like laughing.  

"It was me."

'Here come my shining Lucky stars shining their lights upon me.'

Jinwoo thanked his lucky stars.

Lee Juhee was staring at Song Chiyeol in shock.

"Ahjussi…?"

Jinwoo didn't try to stop him, rather he just nodded, and the old man stepped forth.

"I was the one who killed Kang Taeshik."

The employee looked suspicious,

"Hunter Song Chiyeol-nim was the one?"

That was impossible.  Song Chiyeol was a C-ranker; on top of that, he was missing an arm.  His opponent was a B-ranker, whose existence would be called a high-ranker.  Their strength exceeded imagination. The difference between a B-ranker and a C-ranker was incomparable to the difference between a C-ranker and a D-ranker

And a proper S-raker could play with A-ranker like it's a child's game.

Song Chiyeol laughed and replied,

"You all know who's standing behind me, right?"

"Ah!"

All eyes fell on Lee Juhee, who lowered her embarrassed face.

Lee Juhee was also a B-rank Hunter.  She may not be a combat-class Hunter, but she was still a high-ranker like Kang Taeshik.  If a B-rank Healer supported a C-rank Hunter, there just might have been a chance that they prevailed.  The employees all nodded understandingly. While they were thinking about the possibilities,   

Thanks to the elder, Jinwoo would be able to avoid a thorn in his side for a bit longer.  Jinwoo was impressed by the old man's ability to take a hint. 

Jinwoo went up to Song Chiyeol's side and quietly said,

"I'm grateful."

"I'm the one who has to be grateful. I felt like Sung-SSI had a reason to hide his abilities. So

I'm just glad I was able to help out a little."

An Association investigator approached the pair.

"Song Chiyeol-ssi, could you please come with us? We just have to wrap up the details."

"Yes, let's."

Song Chiyeol left with the investigator to the Association, along with the rest of the employees.  Soon, only Jinwoo and Juhee remained. The sun had already set a while ago. Feeling awkward near the changed Jinwoo, Juhee shyly approached him and asked,

"Could we walk together for a bit?"

"Just a bit," asked Jinwoo with a smile. 

"Mmm, I don't know."

"What about the dinner promise?" Asked Jinwoo as if he had had blue balls Since he came to this world.. and after seeing this beauty that feeling got quadrupled. 

So he had full plans to bang today and the girl in front of him already had some deep feelings for Jinwoo. 

'Even though she isn't my type her beauty can't be denied and currently I am horny enough to stick even in crazy.''''.

Lee Joohee also felt hungry after moving around for a while and feeling death so close. and felt that it was good timing.  She happily agreed,

"Sure."

Under the streetlights, the pair walked, side by side, in silence.

"..."

Lee Joohee stared at her feet as they walked.  Every time she looked up, she peaked a glance at Jinwoo.  She wanted to ignore it, but she could not ignore the fact that the man felt a lot stronger than before.  She had found him more comfortable to be near in the past. Now, it was hard to even strike up a conversation with him.

 But she also felt a weird kind of attraction towards him.

'Just what happened to him…?'

Not just the fact that he had easily defeated a B-rank Hunter.  The man's presence felt completely different than before. He had asked for her silence, so she did not want to press the issue.

But his abrupt change bothered her for some reason.

'I wish he would say something…'

The silent figure of Jinwoo felt cold to her.  

"So how are you doing?"

Hearing his first approach she felt a great relief. 

Gathering her courage, Juhee opened her mouth first with great difficulty,

"It's good besides a few problems here and there. Anyway… I don't think I can eat anything today, so I'll return this…"

Juhee gave Jinwoo a magic core.  It was the same core that he or Og had given to her back in the underground temple.  Her hand that handed over the magic core was trembling.

'I suppose that time was less than a month ago… And we had another incident today.'

Jinwoo realized just how scared Juhee must be. He fully understood that she would lose her appetite after everything that happened today. That's what he disliked about her; he likes brave women. 

Rather than women who hold their pasts and never try to move on.. but today wasn't his day so he was ready to bang any beauty he could find, and rather than wasting time looking for one. He had everything in front of him. 

Moving forward her unstable mind will make things easier for him. She now corves for someone who she could share her pain with. A shoulder she could cry and a man in whose arms she feels safe.

"Today's not the only day we could grab dinner. Enjoy some free time. You don't have to return it like this."

Said Jinwoo as he was aware he won't be going after the two women he wants before he established his guild and became a S-rank. Which would take some time...

'So I was trying to book a few more times with her. After all, the core had no value if you comprehend to eye candy in front of me.'

'It's already exciting..' 

Juhee shook her head,

"I'm going back home next week."

'Bummer but still one week I could spend at least one more night with her.'

As she had retired from being a Hunter, she must've planned to return to her hometown.  Jinwoo became disappointed,

"Because of that incident?"

"Not just that…"

Remembering the Double Dungeon, Juhee's face darkened.  Jinwoo quickly steered the conversation away, he didn't want her to ruin his mood...

"Where is your hometown?"

"Busan. So, Jinwoo-ssi."

Suddenly, her eyes became serious.

"Yes?"

Having sensed the mood, Jinwoo erased his smile and also became serious.  Juhee stared at his face. She thought about his eyes which were filled with life.  When everyone else had fallen into despair, he held onto the light in his eyes. Juhee remembered being right next to him and looking into them.

'He said something about coming back alive.'

The ray of hope that his eyes held onto resulted in saving the lives of many people, including her own.  It was an act that could not be imitated by any other.

ba dum ba dum

As she thought back on that day, her heart started pounding.

'No…'

She had no regrets about retiring as a Hunter; she knew she was not fit for life.  But thinking about how hard it will be to see Jinwoo again filled her with regret.

'If I asked him now, "Can I see you again", he'll probably think I'm a weird person…'

But there was nothing she could do.  To dwell on such matters would be foolish.  After some time, Juhee chortled and lightly shook her head,

"No, it's nothing. If you're ever down in Busan, please give me a call. I'll buy you some food."

"Sound good."

.....

So it's decided that both Akame and Esdeath will come to this world as Jinwoo lovers.
