Chapter 13: The Monster Who Learned Fear
The story begins exactly where the previous chapter ended.
The MC steps forward and throws a devastating punch at the monster.
BOOOOM—!
The ground trembles, the air shatters—
but in the very next moment, a shocking sight appears.
The monster stops the punch with just one hand.
With a cold voice, the monster says,
"Is that all you can do?
You scared me for a moment…
but this attack?
I expected far more from you."
In the next second, the monster counters with a punch so powerful that the MC is sent flying several kilometers away.
Buildings crumble as the MC crashes through them, finally slamming into the ground, leaving behind massive destruction.
The MC's condition is terrible.
And yet—
He slowly stands up.
A strange smile spreads across his face.
Laughing lightly, the MC says,
"How are you, my friend?
I want to play with you…
why won't you play along?
Looks like I'll have to force you."
His smile grows wider.
Suddenly, the red aura around him intensifies, completely covering his body.
The monster stares in shock.
Only Navi's glowing eyes remain visible,
and the MC's laughter echoes across the sky.
The monster finally becomes serious.
He launches another brutal attack.
Half of the MC's body freezes solid—
yet the MC strikes back with an even stronger punch.
DOOOOOM—!
Dust and smoke engulf the battlefield.
When the smoke clears, the MC's body is covered in dark shadows from the impact,
but—
He is still smiling.
The force of the punch wipes out everything behind the monster—
mountains, buildings, and the entire area are completely erased.
Even the sword is stunned by the sight.
"What… is this human?"
No matter how fierce the battle becomes,
the MC's wounds heal continuously.
Seeing this, fear begins to creep into the monster's heart.
With a creepy smile, the MC says,
"You're the one attacking me…
yet you're the one who's afraid?
Interesting.
I haven't even started yet."
Terrified, the monster steps back.
The MC's smile suddenly disappears.
He becomes completely silent.
The monster panics.
In rage, the monster summons a rain of ice swords from the sky.
More than a hundred thousand blades fall toward the MC.
The monster believes there is no escape this time.
But the MC remains calm.
A protective shield forms around him,
and every sword shatters upon impact.
Seeing this, the monster grows desperate.
He screams,
"Why won't you die?!"
The MC replies calmly,
"That attempt wasn't very good.
Why don't you try again?
Let me show you a small glimpse of my power."
Enraged, the monster goes completely insane.
This time, he gathers all his power into a single punch and charges straight at the MC.
The monster reaches him and throws a punch directly at the MC's face—
But—
The punch hits the monster himself.
Stunned, the monster shouts,
"What?!
How did my punch hit me?!"
The scene rewinds a few moments back.
Just as the punch was about to land on the MC,
a portal opened in front of him.
At the same time, another portal appeared beside the monster.
The punch passed through the portal
and struck the monster instead.
Because the monster used his full power,
his jaw shatters instantly.
The monster still doesn't understand
what just happened to him.
And with that—
Chapter 13 ends here.
