Holy power.
Once known as the blessing of gods, an untouchable miracle.
Something only divine beings could grant — and something that always *faded* with time.
That was the law of the world.
Until **Suho** broke it.
---
Holy power wasn't supposed to coexist with dark mana.
Aura wasn't supposed to merge with divinity.
But Suho — the one "ignored by the universe" — had done both.
And now, something new had awakened inside him.
> [New Trait: Internal Energy Fusion]
> [Player can now convert between Holy Power, Aura, and Dark Magic]
> [Efficiency: 100x normal rate]
Suho clenched his fist.
The air around him pulsed — golden, red, and black lights shifting like liquid flame.
He could *feel* it. Every strand of power inside him, alive and connected.
"Holy power… dark magic… aura… all one now."
He smiled faintly. "Guess I don't need the constellation after all."
Even his skeletons had changed.
Their bones glowed faintly — not white, but etched with faint runes that pulsed in rhythm with his heartbeat.
Each one stronger, faster, more terrifying than before.
Then another notification appeared.
> [Player's internal structure has stabilized]
> [Condition fulfilled: Advance to next form of internal energy]
Suho froze.
"Advance… my internal energy?"
He scrolled through the options floating before him.
Each shimmered like living stars — **Holy Power**, **Aura**, **Dark Magic.**
He hesitated.
"If I enhance my holy power, my aura and dark mana will rise too. But…" he turned to his army, watching their flickering blue eyes, "they depend on my dark magic. Without it, they'll weaken and how much I can grow it with my lack of talent."
His gaze hardened.
"Then it's decided."
He reached out and tapped the advancement symbol beneath **Dark Magic**.
---
> [All Dark Magic-related skills have reached sufficient proficiency]
> [To advance further, form your first Personal Magic Circle]
> [Warning: Magic Circle creation requires precise mana control and innate talent]
> [Talent: None detected]
Suho's lips twitched.
"...Figures."
Even with unimaginable power, the system still reminded him — he was *talentless.*
---
He was now standing before the **final floor** of Stage-1.
**Level 10.**
The Gate loomed ahead, massive and pulsating like a beating heart.
Suho's expression was calm, confident.
He had challenged countless times, reset thousands of runs, but this time he *knew* — he was ready.
The gate shattered open.
> [Stage 1 — Level 10 Boss Room Entered]
> [Boss: Goblin Lord — The One Who Rules the Nest]
> [Warning: Multiple Monster Classes Detected — High Threat Level]
A roar echoed across the cavern.
The **Goblin Lord** emerged, nearly three meters tall, wearing dark iron armor and holding a blood-red halberd.
Behind him — hundreds of goblins, shamans, beasts, and berserkers screamed into battle.
---
### **The Battle of the Goblin Lord**
"Formation!" Suho commanded. His voice thundered through the battlefield.
Miho, the goblin skeleton general, let out a sharp growl.
The army moved like a black wave — skeletal archers rained arrows, mages summoned burning spears of darkness, and the trolls charged like living catapults.
The ground quaked.
Suho leapt forward, his aura igniting like wildfire.
A crimson glow surrounded him as he swung his sword downward.
*Boom!*
A massive fissure tore through the battlefield, cutting goblins in half.
Their bodies crumbled into ash before they even screamed.
> [You have slain Goblin Warrior Lv. 32]
> [You have slain Goblin Shaman Lv. 30]
> [Experience gained]
A goblin berserker lunged at him from behind — Suho didn't even turn.
He raised his hand.
*Snap.*
A dark explosion erupted, vaporizing the berserker and everything near it.
Veno, the skeleton warrior, charged beside him — his aura blade glowing a faint red, clashing against the Goblin Lord's halberd.
Each strike sent shockwaves rippling across the cavern.
Bones cracked, metal shrieked.
Then came the Goblin Lord himself — eyes burning green, aura blazing like wildfire.
"You... human," it growled, voice echoing like thunder.
Suho smiled.
They clashed.
The Goblin Lord swung his halberd with monstrous strength — Suho blocked with both hands, his feet digging into the ground, sparks flying as their auras collided.
Each impact sounded like thunder.
Aura met aura, steel met bone, and magic clashed midair in explosions of red and black.
The Goblin Lord leaped high, spinning his halberd like a storm.
But Suho raised his palm — golden light erupted.
**Holy Power: Holy light.**
"A flash of golden light blinded everyone who saw it."
"What—?!" The Goblin Lord screamed as Suho's sword, now glowing with a mix of aura and holy energy, sliced through him in one clean motion.
*Schrrkkk.*
Silence.
The Goblin Lord's head fell.
> [Boss Defeated — Stage 1: Level 10 Cleared]
> [Reward: 10,000 Experience, 5 Skill Points, 1 Hidden Advancement Condition unlocked]
> [Time Remaining until Stage 2: 1 Month]
---
Suho exhaled heavily. His armor was cracked, his hands bleeding — but he smiled.
He had done it.
Stage-1, completely conquered.
But he wasn't done yet.
"One month… one whole month," Suho whispered, looking up at the dungeon ceiling.
"Then I'll use every single day to get stronger."
---
For ten days straight, Suho repeated the impossible.
Reset after reset, he re-entered the dungeon — killing, looting, conquering again and again.
His aura sharpened. His holy power refined. His dark mana stabilized.
> [Level 55 Achieved]
> [Skeleton Army Expanded — 10,000 Units]
> [Skeleton Commanders Promoted — Miho, Veno, Hogwords]
His army now filled entire caverns.
Rows of skeletons marched like soldiers beneath banners made of monster hides.
The dungeon trembled under his rule.
---
But Suho still wasn't satisfied.
"I've mastered the undead... now, it's time for something new."
He turned his gaze toward the corpses of the monsters around him — beasts, goblins, trolls, minotaurs.
A faint glint appeared in his eyes.
"Taming, huh...?"
A slow, dangerous grin spread across his face.
> [New Goal Added: Monster Taming ]
