The Dreamer's POV

Chapter 23: Colossal Demon [Pt 2]

[12:52 AM, Friday 5th of May, 2024]

The moon hung low in the night sky, casting an eerie glow over the desolate city.

The streets were deserted, save for the lumbering Demons that prowled about, and an unsettling stillness blanketed the air.

Among the several buildings in a particular street stood a small drugstore, its windows dark and silent, as if awaiting the first light of day to bring it back to life.

Inside, the drugstore lay empty, the last remnants of its daily operations left abandoned until the morning. Rows of empty hangers swayed gently in the stagnant air, while shelves stood tall and bare.

The iron sheets bolted tightly to the entrance, serving as a barrier of protection against the outside world, giving the illusion of security.

Suddenly, a low rumble filled the night, vibrating through the stillness.

The ground trembled as a monstrous creature approached, its heavy footsteps causing the very foundations of the building to quake.

Shadows danced outside the drugstore, cast by the beast's enormous form as it drew nearer.

"ROOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR!!!"

With a tremendous roar, the creature slammed into the iron sheets covering the entrance, its raw power unleashed upon the unsuspecting barrier.

~BAM!~

The metal groaned and protested, but it was no match for the creature's relentless assault.

~WHAM!~

Piece by piece, the iron sheets began to buckle and bend, surrendering to the monster's insatiable strength.

~BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!~

As the last remnants of the barrier gave way, the creature burst through the entrance, a terrifying force of nature.

It stood tall, towering over the drugstore, its massive frame casting a dark shadow that swallowed the store's interior.

"GRRRRRRRR..." A chilling growl escaped its monstrous maw, reverberating throughout the walls.

The creature moved with a sense of purpose, its primal instincts guiding its every step.

Empty hangers swung violently in its wake, their metal clanging against one another, as if protesting the intrusion.

Shelves, stripped of their merchandise, shuddered and crumbled under the weight of the monster's fury, collapsing like dominos.

The creature prowled the aisles, its eyes scanning the remnants of the store,

'My initial goal was to reach Level 10 at the very least before the Tutorial ends, but now... maybe I can raise the bar even higher.'

It was at this point that I finally decided within myself to surpass my limits

"Alright! Let's reach Level 15 before the Tutorial ends."
