As weak a monster may be, the moment they step outside the dungeon, they are already classified as monsters with special capabilities.

Even a weak goblin can enter an immediate evolution the moment it stood above ground.

Because it seems like… Without regard of race, the system will awaken them. At least that’s what those who researched monsters that roam out in the world has stated.

That’s why monsters were kept within the confines of a dungeon, if a mishap were to happen, things will not be peaceful in the ground above.

That very thing is happening right now.

A dungeon had emerged undetected and was left alone for it to grow.

Continuously making the monsters within it stronger and finally those who gained some intellect wished to walk the earth.

And a lot of those monsters paraded themselves in human cities.

“Well, this isn’t getting any easier.”

“Aren’t Iron Goblins supposed to be a rare monster!?”

Hundreds of Iron Goblins became active as soon as the news regarding district K’s situation appeared.

"He's still fighting that thing while protecting two people."

"How come i've never heard of an awakened like this?"

Displayed on the display on one of the buildings was the current situation in k district, the situation wasn't as dire as the other areas but still the streets were littered with civilian corpses as well as monsters.

In that place, a certain battle began...

The figure with its face hidden by a muffler holding a seemingly normal sword in his hands slashed at the creature before him.

This brat, he really let me have his body.

The brat bestowed me a name, obscure.

Before me was a beast that had the appearance similar to that of an insect, eight legged, a carapace as tough as steel and a very annoying clicking noise it makes.

The place was a roughed up abandoned building site, it seems that this thing's been running around chasing after something, i'm thinking maybe it was those two behind me.

I was given a task to protect two people of highest priority and it seems to be this brat' siblings.

*Click click*

I was thankful, the brat gave me a chance to fight.

I have no recollection of what my life was, merely the burning feeling when i'm fighting.

The bracelets, I remember the brat calling them as [Form Bracelets], it has the power to change a person's appearance according to one's ideal.

Though with it already adhered to the brat's ideal form, I'm no longer able to will it to change.

Everything I have on has one or two enchantments within it. To fit my style of battle, and to increase my chances of survival.

"Shall we start?"

The cold sensation that crept on my back and the brat's heart that began to beat a beat faster.

Was it fear? Ecstacy?

I wonder what the brat is thinking, what he is feeling?

My feet dug deep into the ground, as i propelled myself towards the beast in front of me.

Far from the slimes, I was made to fight before, the one before me is clearly a cut above.

However, even then i felt like I can't lose, no, even the thought of losing never crossed my mind.

From another person's point of view, this scene must've looked incredibly difficult.

Size, speed, strength.

The monster before me seems to have it all.

But...

A marble was thrown towards the two children who have lost consciousness, from that marble an enclosed field had manifested.

As if something heavy has lifted off the man's body, the one who was on the defensive begun to counterattack.

Flurry of sword strikes were thrown, each causing wound deep enough to inflict damage.

[Graaaa!!!]

The monster screeched in agony as it flailed around with its big body.

The onlookers were worried that those two girls was going to be put in danger but that worry was unfounded.

The monster's flailing didn't even dent the field sorrounding the two girls, it was as tough as steel, if the word has any meaning yet to this world.

The man easily dodges everything the monsters throws at him and continously gave the beast a string of attacks one after the other.

Like a hunter playing with its prey, the monster couldn't touch the man at all.

The man continues to slash. Enraged, the monster's movement changed drastically, it no longer cared about defending and merely focused on attacking, this decision only hastened the inevitable, without the trouble of looking for openings the man, slashed about the monster wih precision, aiming at the parts that will render it useless.

To such the monster inevitably falls, unable to even graze the person before it

It was over, the man took one more marble from his pocket and released it to the sky, the camera that was taping everything that happened, began to short circuit, the live feed cuts and the world no longer had any idea of what happened after that.

"What the heck happened!? Why did the feed cut off!?"

"W-we don't know!!! We're trying to contact the team on site but, my calls aren't getting through!"

The crew within the station was panicking, calls from all over began to swarm their lines as soon as the feed regarding District K was cut.

"Do everything you can to find out the identity of that man with the muffler!"

"Y-yes!"

The man, after shouting those words, walked briskly and headed towards his office, reaching his phone he called his secretary and ordered to get all data regarding the awakened of Rank A and above.

"Was that an ability? Or was it simply an artifact?

"That is..."

His secretary was unable to say anything further, even if it was an ability or an artifact, they have no way to confirm it, no more importantly something of that capacity wouldn't be an artifact, after all they have yet to encounter artifacts with that kind of capability.

The man sighs in understanding, he was just lucky enough that it was his station that broadcasted the emergence of a strong awakened.

"Call the crew on sight, I need to talk with them regarding the matter."

"Ah, yes, right away!"

The secretary began to take her phone out, and started to call the crew on site.
