Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

[Blood Moon Storm]

As I recited the figure's movements, I recalled the feeling of fighting against the phantom puppets during training.

roar!

The monster roared in pain again as my bullet pierced its eye, the organ it relied on most.

Its body is filled with poison, and its wounds are beginning to take effect. The pain it is in is unbearable, and I will use this to my advantage.

I summoned my magical power and felt the attack pattern I needed to make reappear before my eyes.

I need places to attack, I need places to move, I need places to swing.

whoosh!

With a ruthless attack, I suddenly attacked the Guardian of Time, and the dagger infused with red mana in my hand cut through the air with a ruthless gesture.

The smell of blood filled my body, and with every attack, I slowly lost my sanity.

My attacks were fierce and deadly, targeting every weak point of the Boss.

My dagger danced through the air, creating a storm of deadly attacks.

The monster tried to defend itself, but my frenzied attack gave it no chance to manipulate time.

cut!

The same feeling I had when sparring with the phantom puppet drove me forward, quickly leaving scars in the monster's body.

With repeated blows, the monster's power gradually weakened.

Its once mountainous physique began to crumble under my fierce assault.

Phew!

The blood splattered and mixed with the rain, forming a tragic battle scene.

roar!

The roar of the Time Keeper filled the air. The monster was now my target, and I felt like I couldn't stop until it was dead.

'It's time to end.'

As I felt the mana threads and the mana marks I left behind with my swings gradually complete, I knew that the battle was finally coming to an end.

The monster inflicted several injuries on me during the battle, but in the blood-sucking state, I didn't feel any pain at all.

There was only one thought in my mind, and that was to kill the monster in front of me.

whoosh!

I leaped back smoothly, creating some distance.

I clenched my hands.

[Blood Moon Cage]

As I gestured, the blood-red threads left by my magic power quickly tightened and began to surround the monster.

roar!

It was like a wild beast trapped in a cage, the monster roared and felt the fear of death.

Phew!

As the threads tightened, they began to pierce the monster's body from all sides. I clenched my hands even tighter and continued to inject magic power into the threads.

With one final push, I channeled all of my remaining mana into the thread.

Snap

The Boss monster trembled violently, its body began to become unstable. The rain seemed to mourn for it, mixing with its final cry.

"roar--!!"

Phew!

The monster let out a desperate roar, which was its last cry of resistance, and then at the moment the silk threads closed, its body was torn into pieces.

The battle was won and the guardian of this place finally died.

Tick

After the battle, I stood on the rain-soaked battlefield, my dagger stained with monster blood.

Da da da

The rain continued to fall, washing away the traces of the battle.

The silence that followed was breathtaking, in stark contrast to the fierce battle and roaring sounds that had preceded it.

"Ha ha……"

As the adrenaline wore off, I could feel my sanity slowly returning and the aftereffects of the battle showing up.

The red mist that had blurred me during the battle began to dissipate, leaving me with only exhaustion and an inexplicable sense of clarity. All the potions I had forced myself to take had once again pushed my body to its limits, and now I was back to normal.

I gritted my teeth, the pain from the battle starting to creep in.

Suddenly, a gentle light emanated from the wreckage of the Time Guardian and enveloped me.

It was a soothing glow, warm and comforting. It seemed to penetrate my body and give me a sense of accomplishment and victory.

I felt a surge of energy, a new feeling blossoming within me. A skill awakened by victory.

'It's finally here.'

This is the main reason why I came to this point, into this place, to fight monsters more powerful than me.

【Time Gaze】

As the knowledge of this new skill unfolded in my mind, a tide of emotion and memory came rushing back to me. Just like times past, the way to use this skill was etched into my mind.

The content of this skill looks the same as in the game.

As the memory of the skill gradually emerged in my mind, I felt that its content was different from that in the game, and some aspects had changed.

This is a skill that allows the player to perceive and interact with time, slowing it down. This will allow the player to better dodge attacks and give them more time to make decisions.

However, now it is different. With my memory I should now be able to gaze upon the flow of time and provide me with insight and advantage in combat and exploration.

The reason for the change is simple.

"The skills [Time Gaze] and [Sharp Eyes] have been merged."

There is a mechanic in the game that allows players to combine skills of similar types to create more powerful and advanced skills. This is mainly because without this mechanic, it would be difficult to assign special shortcuts to each skill and use them.

As I gradually realized what I had accomplished during this difficult trial, this name came to my mind.

【Eye of Time】

That's what the skill is called. But this skill doesn't exist in the game.

'state.'

I called for the status window in my mind and immediately saw the panel in front of me.

There, the skill [Eye of Time] was listed in the ＜Skills＞ section, replacing [Sharp Eye].

————

Skill: Eye of Time

Level: Rare

Description: A rare level skill that provides the user with an increased awareness of time and surroundings. By infusing mana, the user can manipulate their own perception of time. Events appear to occur more slowly.

Output: According to the amount of mana provided

————

When the panel appeared in front of me, I saw the effect of the skill, and as I expected, the skill level increased.

The rarity of a skill represents its level. Just like materials, the higher the level and more powerful a skill is, the higher its rarity will be.

The same logic applies to skills.

Simply put, the [Eye of Time] skill is a rare-level ability that provides the user with the ability to perceive time and the surrounding environment while increasing the field of vision.

When mana is infused into this skill, it allows the user to effectively control the perception of time, with events appearing to occur more slowly, while also allowing the user to increase their field of view at their will.

As mana input increases, the effect of this time manipulation becomes more significant. This is partly due to the skill [Time Gaze].

On the other hand, the user has a stronger awareness of the surrounding environment and events, and also increases the range of the environment that can be observed. This is partly due to the skill [Acute Eyes].

This enhanced perception of time facilitates precise decision making and enables users to react quickly and accurately.

'This skill is really tailor-made for a ranger like me.'

Today's [Eye of Time] is like the [Eye of Death] from a western game.

Now that I have this skill, it has greatly improved my overall combat capabilities. No matter how fast a person's mind is, there is still a delay in sending signals to the body and being received by the body.

Now, with this skill, I can react quickly and fire a lot of bullets quickly.

As the excitement of victory wore off, I realized my body bore the marks of battle.

The adrenaline finally wore off, replaced by muscle soreness and fatigue. It was time to tend to the wounds and recover.

I reached for the spatial bracelet, which contained bottles of healing potions.

Gurgle!

I quickly opened several bottles of potion and drank them, feeling the soothing effect of the potion flowing through my body. The potion worked its magic, healing my wounds and restoring my strength.

Relieved, I began to walk out of the battlefield, intending to find a safe place to rest and recover. But just as I took a few steps, I felt a strange sensation, as if the ground was moving.

Whoosh! Buzz!

Before I knew it, the ground gave way and I was sucked into a vortex. The feeling was dizzying and unsettling.

Everything around me became blurry and distorted, the rain and the trees gradually disappeared. In this vortex of chaos, I could only prepare for what was about to happen.

The feeling of moving is like being trapped in a vortex, all around is chaos, and the chaotic colors interweave into a sickening kaleidoscope.

Bang

This state did not last long. Soon, with a thud, I landed on the ground again.

I stumbled forward, head spinning, trying to regain my balance.

I found myself standing in a strange place, with the Forest of Time and the Guardian of Time behind me. The surroundings were strange, in stark contrast to the terrifying atmosphere of the dungeon I had just experienced.

Before me was an open plain, bathed in the soft light of the setting sun. It was a peaceful and tranquil scene, completely different from the trials I had just experienced.

I suddenly realized that I had been teleported out of the dungeon and left the Forest of Time, no, to be more precise, I had left the rainforest.

"For me, it's been 30 days, but here, it's probably only been one day."

I muttered to myself, looking at the scenery in front of me.

However, before I could continue, suddenly, I heard a voice.

"Someone came out..."
