  "I didn't ask for permission!" I yelled as I drove a fist into the orcs armored stomach, but he absorbed the blow, but I still took some of the damage.

  I was knocked back with a strike from one of the ax blades that left a gouge in my arm. I used my Omni Adept Healing Ray and was healed perfectly, but this guy was tough. Still, I rushed him, there was no other way to win, I had to take him down, and my hit had hurt him.

  I dodged the first strike, and punched the inside of one of the orc's knees, making the knee bend funny, and causing the orc to fall. As it did, I came up with a strong uppercut and almost removed the orcs head. The hit knocked him backward, but then I jumped nimbly on his brawny chest as he fell back. I delivered the killing blow from on top of him, crushing his head between the elevated platform and my fist, then causing him to explode in a huge shower of particles.

  I turned and ran to grab Tilly and passionately kissed her. She was already disappearing, but she had a big smile on her lovely face.

  "Keep going! Don't worry about us, just keep winning! We will all see you when it's all over!" Tilly said after we had tenderly kissed, then she promptly disappeared like the rest of them.

  It was working! So far I had saved twenty-one new girls out of the sixty-eight in this world, I was already one-third done and I had just got started! This was the way I was meant to do it, not mess around, I had been playing these games the wrong way. I need to get through them, when I am done, there will be plenty of time to play through every game in every way imaginable.

  [No]

  For now, I just had to win, rescue the girls, and make it to the end of everything. After that, it efficiently was anyone's game. I was ready to watch someone else play for once. I dearly wanted to get one of the comfy seats in the Hall of God, the same ones for Universal Watch, yeah, Acura-Gel. Just one game where I could point triumphantly and laugh hysterically at everyone else like I'm sure they undoubtedly do to me.

  'One day boss, you will be able to, but for now, just keep kicking ass. You're doing great!' -Dansei.

  As the world spun and I was loaded into a sand-covered world. I would keep on pushing and would have my turn to laugh and relax. One day, but not today!

  Chapter 246: INTERCEPTED

  [Metallurgist: Starmetal/Wild Surge Battle Magic] Activated!

  I looked down and I still had a white shirt and pants, but my skin ripples with green, blue, orange, and white colors. I had a metallic coating over my skin or it was what my body was made of now, it was hard to tell. When I touched my skin, it was as hard as steel, but I could move easily. I could still watch the tendons move under my skin when I rolled my fingers, and feel them, but the pressure made sparks the color of my skin shot up.

  There was nothing but sand all around me, so I pulled up my menu. At the second level, these Classes should be able to make something useful. Maybe a hat would be good, that sun was horribly bright. I pulled up the screens and started to look around both Classes and started to laugh, but then stopped, would it actually work?

  Starmetal allowed me to enchant weapons and armor with a reactive enchantment, but I had no weapons or armor. So, I tried it on my fist and clothes because why not? It worked! The metal of my fist must count as a weapon, and now my clothes were more durable and made the sparks when I dragged a nail down my shirt.

  Next was the Chaos Gems and I was able to make six, throwing my rocks out of my pockets to be replaced with Gem. They, like the class, were all about random element effects. The Wild Surge Class could be used with Melee attack so I would be doing hand-to-hand combat, but I wouldn't be indestructible and monster strong.

  I would have to plaything one a bit safer. There was no direct rush route this time and I had no guides, but Tequila and Dansei, and they had blocks. I would fix that when I got to MainFrame. When the locks come off, all the gods and other Sparks in NPC bodies will have all restrictions taken off, and I will be able to find out what really happened.

  After that, I will be able to contact the others and get everyone that has used limitless reach without a god activating it. I should be able to pull them into a conscious dream so I can get everyone on the same page. Now, I just had to get there, and I just noticed that I have a Brilliant Forge Hammer! I will be the Starmetal Forge God!

  I could even power myself up by igniting my Starfire, whatever that meant, but it sounded cool! One class did random damage type and the other just added more damage to everything!

  I started to run forward and then I fell in a hole, dropping twenty meters, and slapping down on a hard stone disc in a shower of sparks. I stood up to find a massive staircase that led down to a tall set of ornate wooden doors about four meters tall. They looked like they belonged in a church or a castle, not at the bottom of a dessert.

  I dusted myself off and then got distracted for a minute wiping off the dust that wasn't there. Each swipe made a small shower of sparks, and it looked cool, sue me. I started down the stairs, reaching out to the side and letting the hammer of light form in my hand. The action reminded me of the way the Lightblade worked.

  I reached the bottom of the stairs and pushed on one of the great doors, and It moved surprisingly easily. On the other side, there was a long narrow path, but everything was dark in the room until I got about five steps into the room.

  The entire room was filled with light from torches that came alive on the walls all around the room. I continued forward, but then there was a large group of Gnoll Warriors gathering on the other side. The path was about a meter wide, but no bottom could be seen on either side.

  That could be bad if I were to fall, but I didn't plan on it. Instead, I reached into my pockets and grabbed out the six gems, and clacked them together to activate them. Then I put them all in the same hand and threw them to the other side into the milling group. The effect was a devastating surge of fire, ice, gas, and lightning exploded up from the group, killing some instantly, while others fell off the edge or rushed me.

  I was ready with my hammer of light, and I swatted them off and over the edge like they were nothing. The devastation was clear by the time I had made it across and I was able to pass along without any more trouble. The next room was not the same, and this time there was a full floor and only one person standing in the middle.

  I walked into the room, I wasn't able to make more crystals so I would have to rely on the hammer and my fist. The thing was wearing a blood-red, and when I stepped onto the platform that it sat in the middle of, it stood. It turned as it stood, and dropped two small Kama hand sickles that had a chain attached to the back of the blade, near the handle. The thing wore a Red Oni mask and red Samurai armor under the robe it was wearing.

  "What are you?" I asked out loud, not expecting to get an answer, but it was an impressive monster, even if it was about to try and kill me.

  "Ha! Feel the fury of my chain-wielding Mastery! I shall take you down and destroy your very existence! I will be the winner!" The red Oni announced.

  "Oh? You and what army?" I asked, rolling my shoulders and swinging my hammer as I advanced, but suddenly the Samurai became a storm of blades, then disappeared.

  I stuck to my left with the hammer in my right catching one of the Kama, but the other grazed my shoulder, barely doing any damage. The effect it had on the Samurai was a lot more dramatic. The chain burst with sparks, blind the Oni, leaving me an opening, so I struck With a Wild Surge Strike.

  //ERROR//

  [Or You Could Pick That] Activated!

  //ERROR//-[ROUGE SYSTEM DETECTED]

  //FAILED INTERCEPT//

  [Meteor Strike] Activated!

  The systems were fighting again, but the Samurai was trapped now, the punch hadn't done any damage, but now it was trapped in a magical circle. There was a hole opening up in the roof of the dungeon to reveal the bright day sky with the sun high in the sky, but there was another bright light that was getting bigger and closer, fast! The Demon Samurai tried to get away but there was no escaping the burning
rock that smashed into him, and I had to shield my eyes when it hit.

  There was nothing left and the hole in the roof was gone as it had never been there. Well, that was pretty, crazy, but how would it work on a boss? I probably designed it with the thought that it wouldn't happen very often, so it might work. The next room should be a boss, so I might have a chance to test my theory, but I wasn't just going to rush him and give him a poke.

  I could infuse the strike into the hammer, and then I could get it just off a connection with weapons. I got the hammer ready and walked to the next room, and there was another platform, and four statues of three-meter tall barbarians, this was going to be a fight. Dual bladed hand axes, spear, greatsword, and a morning star flail, and they were giant barbarians, did I already mention that?

  I stepped onto the platform and watched as the four massive warriors slowly came to life and stretched with weapons in hand. I slowly approached, not wanting to jump right in, but getting the jump on them might be their best…

  "We will get to ya in a minute. We have been stuck like this for a while, so we want to get a good stretch in. You know, before we beat you into a bloody pulp and have to go still again," The ax-wielding barbarian told me.

  I guess I wasn't that sneak, but I figured I would play around with this, see what would happen. The worst thing would be to make them angry, and then they would really try to kill me. Right now, they only wanted to kill me, but they didn't really want to kill me.

  "Hey! Can I do anything for you? Like, so I don't have to break you all? Maybe we could.."

  "Ha! You little runt thinks you can do something against us? Words are cheap," The one with the spear said as he spun his three-meter spear around his body and started to advance on me.

  Well, I tried to be civil, but now it was time for some not so random effects! I ran and met the spear-wielding stone giant with my hammer, and sparks erupted as they connected.

  [Death Strike] Activated!

  Black tendrils jumped out and around from where our weapons struck and attacked the barbarian. He tried to pull away but it was like a living smoke that poured into his eyes and mouth. His body went stiff and was no longer moving or making a sound.

  The other three who were laughing and watching had been stunned silent.

  Suck it MainFrame.

  Chapter 247: King Of The Dance

  "Okay, talking, are we going to try that, or maybe we try the way your friend chose? I mean I don't really care what way you want to do, but make your choice fast, I'm not in the mood to play games."

  The three giant stone men looked at me with perplexed looks on their faces, and they stood still for a full thirty count. It got to the point where I started to wonder if they hadn't turned back into statues. Finally, the one with the morning star stepped forward.

  "What do you want to do then? That door doesn't open unless you defeat us," The Giant explained pointing to a giant boulder covering an entrance.

  "How about you try pushing it open?"

  "You want us to push that rock open for you?" The barbarian with the big sword asked with a raised eyebrow raised.

  "Or we can try the other way? I don't mind, either way, just let me know what you want to do," I said walking over to a large rock and sitting down on it to watch the three stone giants look back and forth from each other.

  "What are we supposed to do after this? You killed our brother, Sledenic, are we just supposed to leave him here now?" Dual ax-man asked while scratching his stoney head and looking at the frozen Sledenic.

  "If you get the door open, you can bring him with us."

  The giants lit up with smiles and then all three of them nodded to each other and headed for the stone. I was surprised how easy that was, the fight probably would have been faster, but this way worked. Plus, I didn't think that I could pull off another Death Strike roll, so it was just best to stick with this tactic, and these guys didn't seem that bad.

  The three were able to push the stone out of the way with no problem. This was probably led by me for an easy route through the game, and now I had hired/threatened help. I still didn't know how many girls would be on this map, but this was their fourth out of ten rounds I would have to do, and I had already rescued twenty-one, so who knew.

  I led the way into the cave, with the three stone giants carrying their rigid brother. I had to admire them for bringing their brother with them, I wondered if Hyde would do the same? Yeah, he would, but he would complain the entire time and hold it over my head after, but it had been so long since I had seen him last, or any of the others. I really had to hope that they were all doing really well, each of them had a deep connection with these girls, and we couldn't end this if one of them didn't make it.

  I walked into a massive cave that was all rising stairs that led up to an enormous set of open stone doors that were swung in. The walk was nice, but the openness on the side got a bit more distracting and unnerving as the giants and I climbed. The open door reveals a blue stone chamber with a huge stone throne at the far end of the room.

  "We will just wait out here until you two are done talking," Mr. Morning Star said with a smile, setting down his brother with the other two.

  "Ya, that guy doesn't look like he is going to have much to say," Mr. Dual Ax-man said point at the massive figure sitting on the throne.

  He was holding a gigantic sword with the point to the ground and then a hand resting on each guard. The Armored King had his helmet-covered head pressing into the back of the sword, making him look like he was just in a resting position. Mr. Ax-man was right, this one didn't look like much of a talker, but I didn't see any girls around, so he would need to say something. Either that or I would just have to do the standard and beat it out of him.

  "Okay boys, wait for dad to come back!"

  That got me yells and jeers, but it was fine, they were a bunch of chicken shits and they knew it. I started to walk into the room, and then the door closed behind me, typical. Then, when the lights went out and the room lit up with laser lights and multi-colored disco lights, I was fully confused. Then the Armored King leapt from his throne to the center stage place in the room, striking a pose like Elvis, doing lewd pelvic motions while pointing off in a random direction with his sword.

  What the shit was going on here? Then the King started to split into more images with each pelvic thrust, and soon, I was surrounded. There was a low groovy beat in the background, and it took a lot of my focus just to not tap along.

  Suddenly all the swords pointed to the center of the armored ring, to me, and the images of the King started to attack me, but still dancing as they attacked. The first came from the right and I charged a Wild Strike and blocked with my hammer, but then passed through the sword like it wasn't there.

  Great, illusions. So only one of them is real, but that idea was thrown out right away when I had to block two solid strikes from two different copies, but neither time activated my Wild Strike. Now, this was a problem, If he could shift and control copies, making them incorporeal at will, then this was going to be a serious fight, but I hadn't tried all the tricks in my bag, and I regretted not getting to use my rocks with the Geomancy.

  I ignited the Starfire and my skin started to radiate like a solar flare, making the images of the King distort. I could only see one solid form at a time, but he was still switching, but we were at a stalemate. I could track his movements but he could still shift out of my range when I closed in on him.

  This was becoming more than annoy, but what was I going to do?

  Chapter 248: Behold! There Is Still More

  The damn King kept shift to different bodies.

  The entire time, the King was dancing some disco boogie, but I didn't have anything that could get him from range, so I decided to try something else.

&nb
sp; "HEY! King of the bad dance moves! How do you want to do this? You're too scared to fight now that I have figured out your tricks?"

  All I got was pelvic thrusts while he did the sprinkler. No, I was starting to get angry, but I took a deep breath and looked around, noticing the door to leave the room. I started walking, and the King kept his distance and didn't follow me, let me walk all the way to the door.

  Once I touched the door handle and pushed on the door, the lights went out. Then, normal torches lit back up, and the King was back on his throne, the sword hilt to his head. Now that was some weird stuff, but I didn't have to kill him, just get around him.

  Now, it was time for what should be the final room, but this was supposed to be the final room. So maybe this was the most final room, I was grabbing at straws, but something about the place did not scream the final room.
