Book 1: Chapter 50: The Hotel Fracture Part II

The Stairs of the Ancient Dragon Five Star Hotel

Sylver continues rushing through the building stairs, taking them two at a time and only occasionally stopping to slaughter the demons along the way. But as he makes his way further up the building, he eventually realizes just how powerful the demons are getting and slows down a little bit.

Its only the fortieth floor, and there are already level sixties? Shouldnt they be higher up if this is a Class I

His eyes widen in shock as he mutters, Oh shit.

In a rush to confirm his theory, Sylver speeds up his stair climbing to leaping from the bottom of each staircase to the top without wasting any time until he eventually runs into a Class II, level 102 Demon Fomorian. The creature has a humanoid form with grayish green scales coating its entire body, a set of worn out looking leather armor, and the head of a crocodile with a sword as equally worn out looking as its armor.

Fuck! he shouts before jumping around the creatures sword to throw a bolt of silver lightning at its back, which he follows up shortly by extending a blade from the armor at his wrist and stabbing it into the creatures neck. Sylver then reaches out and taps a few times on the terminal on his arm, sending a call out that is quickly accepted by Sage. This is not a Class I Fracture! I repeat! This is not a Class I Fracture!

Sages face changes from her usually indifferent one to show surprise before her eyes narrow and she asks, A Hidden Core?L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Sylver nods his head as he starts running up the stairs again.

A couple seconds pass with the only noise being that of the demons in the building and his feet touching the stairs until its broken by Sage eventually saying, Confirmed. On second diagnosis of the building, Class II signatures can be read from floor seventy and up. And on further analysis and inquiries to the bunkers on the floors surrounding the suspected location of the Class I core, we have confirmed that a bunker was indeed sealed by a panicked individual after they saw demons attempting to leave the bunker. However, the individual felt too guilty to come forward about it until asked, and it was therefore left unreported until now.

The man nods his head, Thanks, before ending the call, slaughtering another fomorian, and then pausing.

Scarlet is left down there unknowing of the other core

He frowns as he looks back down the stairs, only to shake his head and continue climbing upwards anyways.

She can handle herself if its just the first half of a Class I Fracture.

[Skill Blood Siphon has leveled up to level 3.]

[Skill Life Drain has leveled up to level 2.]

I cant help but grin at the pleasant feeling of raising my stats after using the free points before opening my status to check out my stats and total skill points.

Yes! I broke one hundred skill points!!!

Although when I focus on the description for Life Drain, it didnt change at all. And neither did Blood Siphon.

I quickly rush to open my Skill Store, only for Tars voice to resound in my head before I can do so.

Didnt you decide to wait before using your skill points to see if youd get anything at a higher rarity?

A frown appears on my face at that, but when I open my mouth to respond, I end up closing it again at the sight of a drone flying through the staircase before stopping right in front of me.

Message for Scarlet Asger, the Scarlet Wolf. Message for Scarlet Asger, the Scarlet Wolf. Message for-

Okay, I got it already! Just tell me the message! I tell the thing while slamming my fist on top of the circular drone, making it shut up for a second before beginning to replay whatever message it has.

Sage has confirmed that this is not a Class I Fracture as we were led to believe. I repeat. This is not a Class I Fracture. Sylvers voice echoes out of the drone, making my eyes widen at the gravity of the situation. Sage has informed me that reinforcements wont be arriving for another two hours, as many of them were sent to deal with a nearby Class III Fracture. Hold out until the reinforcements arrive, and do not push too far towards the Class I core on the fiftieth floor of the building.

After saying its peace, the drone suddenly starts flying back up the stairs again, leaving me on the fifth floor staring after it.

Well, shit, I mutter.
