Wain left Twilight Steel\'s main base and climbed into one of the buildings where no one would disturb him. The organization members could not stop him as he was too fast. Also, there were no other evolved people on the base other than Hana and the man with the sword.

To them, Wain was an invincible and indestructible opponent. Wain could destroy Twilight Steel\'s main base if he wanted to, but Wain had no intention of doing so.

In his opinion, there was no point in destroying other organizations for no reason. They could have become part of the Last Light and increased the overall power of humanity.

After visiting the World of Darkness and fighting a few battles, Wain wondered what humanity was. He could not answer this question but realized that they had a unique position in this world.

"The World of Darkness, humanity, other races, my world... It\'s all too complicated and confusing. I need more information." Mumbled Wain and the Ring of Damned glowed brightly.

A sniper rifle appeared in his hands. It was black with a long and massive muzzle. In the middle was a pattern of white waves.

[Whisper (First Chronicle, Rare Rating)

Quiet and calm, it can respond to its master\'s will and pierce several enemies at once. Depending on the type of ammunition used, the shot from this weapon can wound any creature whose Stamina is below 150.

When you reach the maximum concentration level, you can feel a special effect during which the time flow slows down for you. In this case, your next shot will be three times faster and have two phantom copies]

When Wain read the description of the sniper rifle, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like I just might have died... If that girl had gone into a trance, it\'s unlikely I would have been able to react and destroy that bullet. What\'s more, the phantom copies would have finished me off for sure. It\'s a good thing I decided to attack them. Given that girl\'s eye and abilities, she would have easily killed a lot of Last Light\'s members."

Wain was pleased with the weapon he had received. For the moment, it was his most valuable piece of equipment except for the Sparkling Frost Boots. However, he was angry at himself.

Bam.

Wain clenched his teeth and slammed his fist into the wall with all his might. It shattered into a multitude of debris, and the whole building shook.

"I could have died again because of my overconfidence. I know better than anyone that even a weaker opponent can defeat a stronger one, depending on the situation. I believed too much in my invincibility because of the increased stats, even though those are just pathetic numbers."

Wain could only survive because of his instincts, skills, and luck. He didn\'t like it, he realized that the situation could have been completely different, and then that bullet would have made a hole in his head.

Wain took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. The burns on his face were almost healed, and they were proof that death was almost getting to him, but this time fortune was on his side.

"Okay, it\'s time to try out my new weapon. It\'s been a long time since I shot one." Proclaimed Wain, and a white bullet appeared in front of him.

He inserted it into the breechblock and began looking for a suitable target. Wain wanted to see how powerful the shot would be.

The sight of Whisper was simple. For an experienced shooter like Wain, it was enough.

"Found it." Wain said calmly, looking at a huge bug in the distance.

The insect was fighting a group of people and was one kilometer away.

\'These people are pretty weak. The beetle has already wounded a few of them. If this keeps up, they\'ll probably die. Hmm, I guess it\'s time to do a good deed.\'

Wain grinned and pulled the trigger.

Bam.

A white bullet flew almost silently out of the barrel and turned into a white flash that headed toward the monster.

The beetle was about to attack one of the humans, but suddenly its body exploded, and bloody shards flew sideways. The building behind it was partially destroyed and tilted.

People were in shock they didn\'t understand what had happened. Wain was too far away for them to see him, and the bullet was too fast.

"Great." Wain muttered.

The sniper rifle was able to withstand the power of the Distant Bullet without falling apart. The power of this attack also suited Wain completely.

Wain wanted to leave, but he suddenly remembered that he didn\'t get a soul for this bug and the past firebugs. He looked again through his scope at the beetle he had just killed and saw a white soul floating in the air.

When a man killed a monster from a great distance, there were certain changes in the process of getting the soul.

Wain only saw the soul hovering over the corpse of the beetle. The reason was that because Wain had killed the beetle while at a distance, the connection of this soul was rather unstable. It was trying to find where to go now, but the soul could not do so.

Since Wain had killed the monster, there was a direct connection between him and that soul, which is why he was the only one who saw it. Usually, everyone could see the souls left behind when monsters died.

Wain had never killed a monster from such a great distance before, so this was new to him. He didn\'t know what he had to do in such a case to get a monster\'s soul.

People had to walk up to the souls to get them. Wain was an exception as souls could fly up to him and enter his body at his wish. This was convenient and saved some time. Wain thought it was a small bonus from his main soul.

However, this soul didn\'t want to fly to him. Wain didn\'t know what the reason was.

\'Hmm, do I have to go after a soul if I killed a monster with a sniper rifle? That\'s too inefficient, though maybe there\'s some logic to it. Killing from a distance is safer, and the soul is quite far away, so the connection is less stable.\' Wain thought.

He had no intention of going after the white soul but decided to try again to summon the soul to himself.

Wain looked at it intently and concentrated. To his surprise, the soul disappeared and appeared in front of him the next second. Wain smiled but then frowned. The state of the soul was strange, moreover there were a few drops of tar on it that were slowly evaporating.

Whooosh.

The soul flew into Wain\'s body.

[Soul of Massive Bug (Destroyed, Exhausted)

Chronicle: Primary

Rating: Common]

"Exhausted? What\'s that?" Wain muttered uncertainly. This was the first time he had encountered something like this.

He decided to crush the soul and see the difference in practice.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Massive Bug level 12.]

Wain could feel the Soul Essence seeping into his body, but then he realized something was wrong.

"Too little... It\'s Primary Chronicle Soul, but even though this bug was level 12, I got about half as much of Soul Essence as I should have. That could be compared to killing a few weak zombies." Pronounced Wain.

Then he realized how it worked.

"I see. Because the soul traveled a significant distance, it lost some of its power, so I got a lot less of Soul Essence. Apparently, this process only happens when a person kills a monster from a distance.

The connection between the soul and the new owner is unstable, and it requires the intervention of another power to move the soul to the right point." Wain concluded.

Then he looked toward the Twilight Steel\'s base and saw three hovering souls. He concentrated, and they similarly disappeared and appeared before him in an Exhausted state.

Wain destroyed them and pulled out his compass. He had spent some time fighting Hana and checking the new weapons, so part of the map might have changed its location during that time.

"Okay, part of the map is in the same direction."

Wain moved Whisper to Rin of Damned and jumped off the building. His target as before was the park, which was not far from the city.

...

After a while, he reached the park. He was fast, so it took him ten minutes. This park was much larger than the one on the east side of town. It was more like a massive nature preserve.

On the border of the park and the city streets, Wain saw several monsters. They were accumulating Soul Essence and gradually getting stronger.

Wain nodded and ran between them. Their auras were weak, which meant they weren\'t worth Wain\'s time. He had little time before the island appeared, so he had to hurry.

Wain held a compass in his hand and observed the direction. At one point, he saw that the compass needle had abruptly changed its direction. Wain looked in that direction and saw a massive rock in the distance.

"Great, looks like I found where I\'m going, but maybe someone else has already made it to the second part of the map." Proclaimed Wain looking at the people near the rock.

It was one of the bases of Twilight Steel and the Dungeon under their control. Many people were around, and several guards were standing near the portal.

Wain had two options, he could break into the camp and force his way in, but he could settle the matter more peacefully.

\'Hmm, it would be best to ask people more about this place.\' Thought Wain and ran towards the camp.

He reduced his speed so as not to attract unnecessary attention. He effortlessly entered the camp unnoticed and headed for the portal like a member of the organization.

"Wait! Who are you? What is your name?" Said one of the guards.

Wain looked at him surprised, "I want to enter the Dungeon. What\'s the problem?"

Wain decided to pretend to be a member of Twilight Steel. They had cleared the area since there were no monsters or dark fog around the Dungeon. This Dungeon was nothing more than a farm for members to kill monsters and grow stronger.

The guards looked at him with a strange look, "Boy, the head of the organization entered this Dungeon with his group and said not to let anyone else in. I can\'t help you, you have to wait for them to come back and wait for more instructions from the head. Moreover, this is a dangerous Dungeon. You should not go in here alone."

They believed that Wain was a member of the organization because he did not act naturally. Moreover, a pleasant and friendly aura emanated from Wain at that moment.

Wain smiled, "All right, I\'ll go then."

The guard nodded.

...

\'Hmm, they also seem to have somehow found out that part of the map is in this Dungeon. I got the first part when I killed Harald. He wanted to kidnap Lea and was pretty strong. The members of Twilight Steel\'s probably have a way to find parts of the map like I did.\' Thought Wain looking at the Dungeon in the rock.

It looked like a golden crypt with decorative skulls around the gates. At the top of the crypt was a pink crystal under which a single flame burned brightly. Below the flame was a line of ten stripes, each one glowing.

\'This Dungeon is strikingly different from the ones I\'ve been in before. I am still unaware of what this crystal means and the stripes beneath it. Furthermore, this is the first time I\'ve seen a flame under the crystal. I\'ll have to ask Sven about it next time.\' Wain thought.

He realized that the crystal, the flames, and the stripes indicated Dungeon\'s difficulty. However, it was only his guess, he had to know for sure.

\'Judging by the pressure coming from the golden crypt, this is the First Chronicle Dungeon. That\'s good, I need to go there.\'

Wain took his time, he had plenty of time to decide. If the head of Twilight Steel had not yet found part of the map, Wain could easily outrun him. Otherwise, Wain would take part in the map from the organization head.

He thought about how he could get in. Of course, he could kill the guards and run inside, but then chaos would ensue, and other people would enter the portal as well. That could have prevented him from mining and finding part of the map.

\'Maybe I should kill everyone here? Then no one will bother me, but there are quite a few people here. Surely they make up a significant portion of the organization\'s strength. Destroying this camp would be too wasteful...\' Wain thought.

After a while, Wain smiled and stepped aside. Initially, he wanted to find monsters around him and thus attract attention and temporarily sow panic, but the area was cleared. Wain would have to spend quite a lot of time before finding a large enough group of monsters.

But then Wain realized that he could distract the guards and the others by another method. The threat didn\'t have to exist for people to be wary of impending danger.

Crackling.

Black electric charges appeared around Wain\'s arms, and thunderclouds accumulated to the west of the camp. They were massive and menacing.

This immediately drew the attention of everyone in the camp, and then Wain clenched his palms tightly into fists. Two black lightning pillars struck the ground at one point and a shockwave formed. It was powerful enough to make the tree crowns tilt, and people shudder in fear.

"A horde of monsters is coming at us!!!" Someone shouted.

People couldn\'t see where the voice was coming from, but it didn\'t matter. The reaction had already been triggered, and it could not be stopped. People prepared for battle and stared intently at the cloud of smoke in the distance that rose from behind Oblivion Thunder.

The guards also stopped defending the entrance to the portal and rushed to help the others. They could not let the monsters destroy this camp.

When the guards were gone, and no one else was around, blue lightning entered the golden portal in one second.

Wain grinned and stepped forward. Everything went as he intended. Even the screaming of the impending horde of monsters played its part.
