Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

"Calm down, you know there's nothing to do," Raydon was yelling and ranting when Fehim cautiously approached him to try and calm him down.

"Shit, all right, I'm cool. Damn, I was so hopeful. '' Frustrated, Raydon sat on the ground and started to consider his options. He sincerely believed he could reach level 2 here, but his hopes were dashed.

Since the golden skeleton gave them their reward and vanished with its soldiers, it had been more than a day. When Raydon realized that the dimension was not disappearing and that they would have to wait for the remaining time to get out of here, he reasoned that he could gain more experience during this time by returning to the previous stages and finding and killing the slave skeletons and slave spirits.

''I never expected them to vanish as well,'' Raydon sighed.

He went through the trouble of returning to the first stage only to discover that there was not a single creature he could gain experience from. Additionally, the fact that the initial 3-day period given to him was completely wasted really pissed him off and disappointed him.

"Shit, if I had known I could complete this inheritance in less than a day, I would have moved slower and focused on gaining more experience. "

He had calmed down for a while, but thinking about it made him angry again.

''When do you have your next match? '' After some more time to collect himself, Raydon considered another issue and turned to Fehim to ask.

There were only hours left before the next match, and he had no idea if he could even participate while stuck in this dimension.

''There are still a few hours. Do you think we can accept the invitation to the match while we're here? '' Fehim asked.

If they don't accept a match invitation within a certain amount of time, the invitation becomes invalid and they have to wait another two days before they can receive another one. As a result, neither of them wanted to miss this one and have to wait another two days for the next one.

"I'm not sure, but I hope we can accept it. I don't want to spend another day in this nothingness. ''As he lay down on the dreary, gray earth, Radon remarked.

He was unable to even sell the items he had discovered during the previous match. After that, he was eager to learn how to use the body enchantment he had discovered and to get started making the green-grade item set he had discovered. Of course, he needed to leave this dimension and visit the item market in order to do these things.

Raydon thought about all this and decided to wait patiently rather than give up hope.

After a few long, sleepless hours, He, at last, received the system message that would partially restore his mood.

[The next match is ready to begin. Do you want to join?]

Without a word to Fehim, who was snoring next to him with a peaceful expression on his face, Raydon accepted the system invitation and vanished from the dimension he was in.

After regaining his sight, Raydon found himself in a volcanic area, where the scorching heat of the ground was immediately apparent. Additionally, the ash that clouded the sky made it hard to see very far.

He took a moment to observe his environment and noticed the small lava rivers flowing between the lanes. He also noticed his teammates were doing the same thing, staring around at the area.

As the rumbling of the volcanoes filled his ears, he took a deep breath, his heart racing from the rush of adrenaline.

He recognized that he was experiencing a higher level of happiness and calm than in any of his previous matches. He looked around at his teammates and speculated that he felt this way because he had finally escaped the inheritance, but then he realized there was another explanation.

'It seems like the weather in this area is just too hot for them. ' As his teammates stepped onto the ground, Raydon could tell they were feeling the effects of the heat. And even though he didn't feel a thing, sweat was beading on their foreheads.

'Does this indicate that my body enchantment is compatible with this region? ' he pondered further.

Even in the death-type inheritance he was in not too long ago, he felt perfectly at ease. In fact, Fehim had a death-type body enchantment and was also good with the atmosphere there, so he was unable to determine whether or not it was disturbing to the average person.

With the additional energy he felt, Raydon overcame the frustration and boredom he had been experiencing recently and took immediate action to locate his first mob, without waiting for his teammates.

He moved forward, sensing the danger of the small lava rivers below him, but he was able to cross them using the natural stone bridges that had formed. Even though he knew the lava wouldn't hurt him much even if he touched it, he decided against taking the chance and saving his boots.

Shortly after, Raydon discovered his first source of experience points. It was a ferocious red mob that looked like a fox. When examined closely, yellow sparks could be seen sporadically jumping through the red fur on it.

It appeared that someone without fire resistance would suffer severe burns if they engaged in melee with this thing, but Raydon not only had fire resistance, but also didn't need to get close to it in order to kill it.

''Spirit Wave. ''

Before the fox had a chance to react, the black smoke from Raydon's sword swing had already made contact with its body, causing instant death.

[Lv.1 Lava Fox(F-Rank) has been killed.]

[Your team gained 1 point.]

[You gained 10 experience points.]

Raydon read the system message and chuckled to himself.

''I guess it's time for another speed run.''

And without delay, he initiated another massacre in an effort to surpass his previous record.
