I Own EVERY Class in This World: Life Set to HELL Mode!

(5 minutes after Stark left)

"HIKHIKHIK" a dark bird was happily flapping its wings.

"Houhpuh!" and a giant red monkey was jumping left and right while clapping its two hands above its head.

All the monsters seemed to be really happy they had witnessed such a battle, and also the winner of them.

By now, Akira's [Invincible Token] had already worn out, meaning he was vulnerable to monster attacks, yet thankfully enough for him [Monster Scent] was still active.

[19 seconds left for 'Monster Scent']

"...Argh," and at that very moment... Akira actually woke up.

He opened his eyes, still drowsy from all the attacks, and his head felt like it splitting in two, as well as all the aching in his body.

[14 seconds left for 'Monster Scent']

He slowly sat on the ground, his surroundings blurry as he was still adjusting.

[11 seconds left…]

Suddenly, he remembered everything that happened, the memories of the fight, of him being stunned, then smashed by the giant demon's hand came back to him.

'Fuck…' he held his face with his hand.

He had lost, for the first time ever, Akira had actually lost.

But… wasn't he alive right now.

"I lived…" his eyes widened, "Fucking hell I actually lived," he almost wanted to cry of joy, believing Stark would wait for him to lose his invincibility to easily kill him.

[5 seconds…]

After laughing for a bit, he tried to get up, but miserably failed.

"Ouch… my legs…" he couldn't move his legs, and they weren't broken, it was just that his stamina and body were aching, meaning he would need to wait for a bit before being able to continue.

[2 seconds…]

"Well, he isn't here anymore, so it's fine," he finally decided to look around.

[1 seconds…]

"…!" fear immediately took over his entire being as he saw the dozens of monsters dancing and cheering all around him.

And right at that moment… a panel appeared in front of his face.

[The effects of 'Monster Scent' have worn off]

Immediately… all the cheering and dancing stopped.

Finally able to detect their prey, the monsters all turned their eyes toward Akira, who had sweat dripping all over his face.

"W-wait, w-we were friends just a while ago, y-you were cheering!" he tried to talk to the monsters, who began to approach him, their expressions darkening as they finally sensed the human.

Some of them were confused as to how they couldn't sense him, but others didn't waste time and immediately pulled out their weapons or whatever they used to fight.

"HAKHAKHAK~" the dark bird flew above Akira, its beak ready to pierce.

"OUHPUHOU~" and the red monkey was violently hitting its own chest, making soundwaves with it that shook the hallway.

It was truly… unwinnable.

"I'm… fucked…" Akira looked down, no matter how much he tried to move, his body wouldn't answer.

And so soon enough…

"HIIGIHIK~" a giant skeleton with a hammer in its hand hit Akira's side, sending him flying toward another monster who looked like a lizard, hitting him with its tail.

"-23726! -17371!" just like that, he was already down to his final bit of HP.

"I… fucking… hate… this… why… do… I HAVE TO ENDURE THIS…" Akira shouted as hard as he could, begging for anything, ANY miracle to happen and save him.

Yet… in this trial… nothing could save you.

~SLASH, SLAM, GRIM, BOOM~

Dozens of monsters surrounded him and began to hit him with all sorts of weapons.

"Why… me…" he extended his arm upward toward the light of a golden chandelier above him, but quickly… he fell.

[Akira: 0/43700]

He died at the first hit, yet the monsters continued, reducing his body to nothing but a pile of flesh, and even then they kept eating him or burning him.

And just like that… Akira was completely erased out of existence.

***

(Back to Stark)

'Hah~ hah~' he was still running, following his map while avoiding the monsters that were all over the sublevel, although much less in numbers than when he was fighting Akira.

And suddenly, the moment he turned around the corner right before the exit…

[A participant has been slain by another player!]

[You have slain "Akira, the Moon Warrior lv64", gaining 3,921,449 EXP!]

[Your level has increased to level 56, granting you three skill points and a boost in stats]

[Your level has increased to level 57, granting you three skill points and a boost in stats]

[Your level has increased to level 58, granting you three skill points and a boost in stats]

[Experience: 113711/1970000]

It seemed like knocking down Akira and doing most of the damage/work actually registered it as though he was the one who made the kill, even though it was the monsters that did the final blow.

Maybe it was to make it fair, since it would stop others from stealing other people's kills?

But then, why didn't he receive experience or the reward for killing Kokoro? Of course, he didn't deal the final blow, but he did lots of damage to her too, right? Yet only Akira was rewarded…

All of this was weird, but Stark decided to give up thinking about it as his [Monster Scent] had also worn out, meaning that he was being chased by a horde of ELITE monsters right now.

'Got it!' he saw the exit door, and it was made out of the blue platinum, already opened as Sora had already done so.

Without wasting a single second, he dashed at it and entered the hallway that led to the spiral of stairs.

The platinum closing right as he left the sublevel since he was the last one, and the sounds of the door banging now hearable from his position.

That sound was terrifying, and he could hear the screams of dozens upon dozens of monsters who had let go of a prey.

After a few moments, all the noise stopped, almost as if all the monsters had been erased the moment the humans left the sublevel.

"…" Stark shrugged as he turned back and began to climb the spiral of dark stairs.

This was the end, the true end.

10 participants at the start, now only 2 remained, and who says he wouldn't have to fight Sora to the death as well?

For now… he just needed to focus on the warden.

[You have a reward waiting to be revealed!]

[Would you like to spin the wheel?]

[Y/N]

Stark didn't stop climbing as he clicked on Y.

The crimson wheel with the tail appeared in front of him.

[Pull me!]

He did as it asked him, and it began spinning extremely fast.

But surprisingly… as the wheel gradually stopped…

[Talent: Chosen One, activated!]

"…" Stark was actually feeling quite exhausted from his fight with Akira, blood pouring out from a side of his stomach and his right shoulder as he had been hit Akira's blades there.

He wouldn't be able to keep going for long if things kept going like this.

And so… by a twist of luck and fate… no… it was definitely the world itself that granted him this luck.

He received…

[Item: Healing Spring!]

[Healing Spring: A special spring that will instantly heal all your injuries and recover your stamina, one time use.]

The perfect item he needed in this situation.

[Chosen One] had actually been nice to him this time.

He did notice something though: every time [Chosen One] fucked him over one way or another, in this example it would be selecting him as the target by twisting reality itself even though it was Sora that was selected, then there would ALWAYS be a reward for his efforts, as [Chosen One] would activate yet again to bring something positive.

A bad for a good? Was this what this skill was all about?

In the end it didn't matter, and so Stark finished climbing up the stairs to floor 0, the final level of the Lucullus Prison.
