So What If It’s an RPG World?
Volume 1 Chapter 22: A Human Head was Stolen?

The 2 wheelchairs slowly moved to a distance of less than 5 meters from us, and stopped. Even though I can’t see the enemies’ name and figure, I knew that the monsters were prowling beside the wheelchairs.

【Ice Meteor】!

After confirming the distance, I aimed at the enemies and threw my strongest magic at them.

In Dale’s laboratory earlier, I had already grinded the magic skill up to level 2. It’s strength had raised quite a bit, but the burden from using it was still obvious. After only unleashing the magic skill once, my MP bar was already down by a third.

A blue magic circle speedily appeared on the ceiling of the hallway, and blue crystals could be seen falling at an incredible speed from the circle, and they were directed at the wheelchairs!

The blue crystals were like bullets piercing the enemies’ bodies, and even the wheelchairs were demolished from the attack.

Oh my god, is this a magical machine gun? This much power is definitely enough to turn anyone into mashed potatoes.

The enemies’ names appeared in front of me.

Gloomy Prowler LV 14 47,000/47,000

Gloomy Prowler LV 13 45,000/45,000

The blue crystals were still embedded in their bodies, and their figure could be distinguished. From their looks, they could be compared to people that have starved for a long time, to the extent that their bones are showing.

However…

The actual strength of the magic was not how it felt like it should be. Even if the magic was of a high grade, there were barely any effects on their bodies. A chain of -233, -433, -213 were seen above their heads, but they had more than 40,000 HP to begin with! It was useless!

And in this moment, the enemies already made their moves. After shaking off their frozen bodies, the surrounding ice blocks dropped onto the ground, and the figures disappeared in the hallway.

【Ice Castle】!

My next magic was already prepared, and the ice walls sealed the path before us.

“Let’s go! Wake up already!”

After knocking Dale in the head with my summoned Ice Sword, I pulled him as we started running to the back of the hallway.

“Oh? What’s going on?”

“What’s going on!? Enemies are behind us!”

“Is that so…”

Dale turned and look, and the ice wall collapsed at the same time, and I immediately twisted his head back.

“Aaaaaah! Are you trying to break my neck?”

Dale held onto his neck as he protested loudly.

“It’s better than seeing you faint! You instantly blacked out earlier, you know!?”

“Alright, alright, it’s my fault, okay!? Eat my 【Lightning Mines】!”

A purple light gathered in his hands, and he pressed it onto the wall beside us.

A chain of purple magic circles appeared on the walls, ground and the ceiling. The complicated symbols transformed into chirping lightning sparks, and in an instant, they covered the entire hallway!

Numbers such as -2134, -2324, -2345 appeared on top of the monsters’ heads, and their HP immediately plummeted into the red.

“【Ice Meteor】!”

The ice magical machine gun aided in the attack, and under the all-rounded attack, the two monsters groaned as they dissipated in the air.

You leveled up. Current LV: 11

Unlocked 1 Skill Point. Please choose a skill.

“Skill Point? What is that?”

“Ah, so you’re already above level 10… After level 10, you will gain 1 Skill Point for every level up. You can now choose and upgrade special skills that do not exist in this world.”

“Is that so?”

The moment he finished his explanation, a new screen popped out in front of me. A list of skills with weird names was on it.

The Forgotten Wednesday

Every Wednesday, your body will turn invisible, from 12 AM in the midnight to the next 12 AM the following day, a period of 24 hours. After using the skill 3 times, your sense of presence will decrease by 50%. There will be a possibility of disappearing.

What is this? A legendary peeping skill? So what if it’s for entire day! It feels horrible by simply imagining it! And what’s with this ‘possibility of disappearing’? Will I actually disappear from this world completely?

Ruined Moon

During a full moon, your strength will be 0. As the moon phases progress, your strength will exponentially increase, and your damage will cap during the new moon.

I feel that this skill is a little unsettling… How does the moon actually rotate in this world?

Absolute Area

Within a circular space of 3 meter radius, you will become a God. Once activated, you can no longer leave the space. You will be unable to interact with other people. You will be secluded from the world for all eternity.

This is a last resort type of skill right? If I were to choose this skill, I feel that it will be terrible…

“How are they? They are overpowered skills right?”

“No, I feel that these skills make us lose a lot to obtain power…”

“Yes, I call them ‘sacrifice’.”

Sacrifice.

Dale wrote this word out in the air.

“Just like how we need to use mana to unleash our magic, these skills sacrifice something else to activate.”

“Why don’t you find a skill that can remove your phobia?”

“Because the price is too big. Find a skill called ‘Lost Fear’, and take a look at the description.”

I scrolled through the skill list, and took a look at the skill’s description.

Lost Fear

Remove the phobia that you have of something, however, you will also lose the feeling of ‘fear’ itself.

“This is a pretty terrible sacrifice… so? What did you choose?”

“Well… I have been keeping the 5 skills points I obtained from level 11 to level 15, because the sacrifices are something that need to be taken seriously. If I were to carelessly choose a wrong skill, then it will be big trouble.”

” I guess you’re right… Oh?”

Suddenly, I could hear something breaking.

“Can you hear that?”

“Yeah, it sounds like the floor is splitting apart.”

“Ah!?”

When I looked at the floor, evidently, there was a crack that stretched the entire hallway… And it seems like…

It is slowly getting bigger?

“Aaaaaaaaaaah!”

The entire floor began to collapse, and before I could react, the ground below me disappeared.

After that, my entire body was already in the air.

“This shouldn’t be happening…”

Obviously, the only conclusion was to fall into the darkness.
