[You Received a Message from: The Lady]
"???"
"What's this? A Message? oh..."
"It's from her... hope she doesn't need something again. Welp, should check it anyway, just to be sure"
[The Lady:
Hi Orbo!
I hope I'm not bothering you right? Well anyways. There's a human child with a Secret Weapon. A sword to be exact... He is still a low LvL and i thought you would be perfect for taking care of this one. Here's his file: [Lucky Man Returned - Roy Luck]. Bye and gl ;)
xoxo The Lady xoxo
"haaa... unfortunately can't skip this one... first gotta check him out."
[Lucky Man Returned is a...]
*O _ O'*
"Oh? I guess she didn't even check this one."
"How could she have missed this? She said he was human right? Then why... Oho, this is interesting... it's going to be fun meeting you, Roy."

"Let's go kill some Skeleton!"
Roy killed the Skeleton Monsters swiftly, ending each one with a single swing of his sword. After a while, he noticed something. This was way too slow. The bone drops were somewhere between 0 - 3 Common Skeleton Bones per Skeleton. But because they were around 100 meters away from each other, he could only kill one at a time. They also gave him only 150 EXP per kill. He usually got 2 or 3 Bones, but he didn't think much of it. Still, it would take quite a while. He thought about how to kill them more efficiently and decided that he would gather them together, and kill them then.
Getting them to follow him and gather together was easy for him. He did, after all, have AGI 700+, which would mean he could be 700+ times faster than a normal human. He wasn't that fast because he still couldn't process things at those speeds, and because you can't always run at your top speed, but he was still several times faster than a normal human. When he gathered around a thousand Skeleton, he turned around and saw a massive horde of them following him. These Monsters weren't intelligent, so he wasn't worried that they would stop following him.
He also saw some Uncommon ones, and got excited for the epic fight to ensue. He dashed towards them activating Wind Rider, his speed gaining a 100% Boost. With his overall speed boosted, he could attack faster, think faster, and move faster.
[Common Skeleton - LvL 3
LP 400 / 400]
[Uncommon Skeleton - LvL 0
LP 5000 / 5000]
He quickly finished off around 200 Commons. Having more moving space around himself, he started fighting the higher-ranked Skeletons. Monster Tiers would would be 10 times stronger than their Item counter-parts, so he was lucky he had more than 1 piece of Uncommon equipment.

But they were still no match for Roy. He slayed them one by one, in seconds each. After killing the second Uncommon he Leveled Up, his Attributes doubling. Even though some were among Levels 2 or 3, he could still kill them. Now that he Leveled Up, he could kill the stronger Skeletons in less than a second each.
In almost half a minute, almost all Uncommons were killed. He started killing normal Skeleton again, claiming tens of lives with each swing. This was truly a massacre.
Within a few minutes, he finally killed them all. There were no more Monsters in this area. He even Leveled Up once again.
He only Leveled Up once because there was a massive leap in the EXP needed for around each 10 Levels.
He'd also gained another fifteen hundred Common Bones, and almost a hundred Uncommon ones from this horde alone.
Next thing done was going around killing all other Skeletons. He thought it would be easy to Level Up further, but he forgot that after you were a certain Level higher than the Monster you killed, you would not gain any more EXP, leaving him half way between 11, and 12.
He also had to go in-town to store the bones and equipment he got in a Bank from time to time, wasting it because he had to individually put each stack into it (Bank doubles as a storage house, or personal warehouse). When there was only one Monster left he was extremely disappointed. He had to stop his killing spree, which was something that meant that he could no longer get more bones. He'd been killing them for almost a day now, and the only thing he could do was to wait a few days to let them to respawn again.
When suddenly...
[System Requirements Meet:
All Skeleton Monsters are killed around Town Dener.]
[Generating...]
[Spawning: Rare Skeleton LvL 5 x 3]
"PPPPFFFFFFFFF!" Roy nearly spat out blood. "WHAT?! WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!" this was something crazy. An average Level 5 Rare Skeleton would be more than 3000 times stronger than a Common Level 0 one. And although Roy was now stronger then ever, he still couldn't compete with a Rarity 2 Monster. A Level 5 would even have around 300 INT and 30 WIS. That would mean it's 23 times smarter than the average human (not including humans that entered and are from GW).
Just when he wanted to run away, something popped up, something unheard of.
[Special Quest Activated: Saving Dener Town:
Kill the 3 Rare Skeleton LvL 5s that are attacking Dener Town by any means necessary.

In turn, Dener Town will no longer be surrounded by Skeleton Monsters. If you fail, you will lose all EXP, and suffer a constant 'EXP -99.999%' gaining Debuff. The Town will also suffer casualties.]
"WHAT THE F*CK IS IT NOW?! I HAVE TO KILL THEM?! HOW AM I... BAHHH!" Roy was now royally pissed. How could he ever kill the Rares? He couldn't. He had to find some help, and fast. In panic he tried to call the Town Guards quickly, but it was too late. The enemies had already spoten him. They quickly dashed towards him, prepared to kill.
They were very fast. Although they couldn't respond to their surroundings at max speed, because their cognitive ability was too low, they could still run towards him without seeing him clearly. The only advantage Roy had was his brain power. With it, he could be faster then they were, and still clearly (more clear than they could) see them to evade their attacks. That way he could stall until a Town Guard came to help him out. The only few problems were that they could kill him with one hit, he couldn't damage them no matter how much he tried, or with how strong of a force he attacked, and that he didn't even know if the Town Guards noticed their arrival.
In a second, the three Skeletons were next to him slashing madly. One had a sword, another claw blades, and the last one a whip. Suddenly the whip came flying towards him. Roy quickly dodged, but it still scraped his left shoulder, wounding him badly. Blood started spraying in his chestplate and onto his arm. "They're way too strong!" he thought. If that whip had hit him somewhere else, he would be a dead man.
In the next moment 3 claws came down on him from his left. He wanted to dodge, but there was no time left. He used his Block Skill, but it only somewhat negated the damage. The rest of the attack tore at his chestplate, almost destroying it in one hit. Roy was now terrified. Two attacks in a row that could have killed him instantly.
He wanted to survive, no matter what. He hastily used Epiphany, clearing his mind, and putting to rest all unnecessary thoughts. He saw that the Swordsman Skeleton was standing by the side, patiently watching them. He understood right away, it was waiting for the perfect moment. It wanted to strike when there was no way he could dodge or block.
Roy started twisting and turning in a way that distanced himself more and more from the swordsman Monster. They all saw this and started changing formations. It was like they were children that lived together and came together from the abyss just to kill him. Roy immediately understood what they were doing.
He ran away from the whip slashing Skeleton to avoid getting caught by it's weapon. Just as he did, the thing he feared the most suddenly came down on his previous location, smashing the ground and making a crater 5 meters wide. This scared Roy even more, but he still kept his cool because of the Skill.
He twisted and turned, dodged, and ran. All seeming like a well rehearsed play. The Monsters were weirded out by this. How could a human 'dance', and in the middle of a life and death battle no less. But they still attacked, not pausing for a second. After some time, they again saw that their attacks didn't work on him. They started changing formations once again. This time they all attacked together!
They were beginning to doubt that this was some normal weak human (but a crazy one). If he was, how could he ever do things like this (dance around wildly)? They didn't care though, instead becoming mad at him for playing with them.
From the anger, the Claw Slasher actually went Berserk. This tripled it's Attributes, making it even more ferocious then the other two combined. When Roy saw the red glow in it's eyes it reminded him of his Skeleton's Skull helmet's red glow. But he didn't dwell on it.
When the Claw Slasher became Berserk, it did however, cut it's INT and WIS in half. Making it's movements seem more monotonous. Something that made the burden of fighting it less difficult.
Suddenly...
"Hey! Hold on! I'm coming to help you! Just wait a little longer!" When Roy heard this, he became ecstatically happy. But there were only a few seconds left on his Epiphany, so the person needed to be fast.
Hearing the yelling, the Skeletons even became anxious. They knew this person must be a lot stronger than them, or else they wouldn't be madly calling out to someone to wait for their arrival. So they started attacking faster, and faster. Trying to kill Roy, before help came.

Seconds ticked away. Time slowly flowed by, making each second seem like an hour...
