Alright… this is it.
The massive orc champion towered before me, its muscles bulging, tusks flaring, and bloodlust in its eyes. My heart pounded, but I steeled myself.
"Okay… I got this," I whispered, clenching my fists. "Just remember all those boss fights I've won in RPGs. This is no different."
I took a deep breath. Luna said I could use all elemental magic… maybe I should try one now.
Channeling my focus the way I'd seen countless times in anime, I stretched out my hand and shouted, "Fireball!!"
A massive sphere of flame erupted from my palm, launching forward like a cannon shot. My jaw dropped.
"Holy crap, for real!?" I gasped as the fireball slammed into the orc champion, engulfing it in a roaring inferno.
Smoke and flames swirled, but as the dust settled… the orc was still standing. Scorched, yes—but far from defeated.
"WROOOOOOORRR!!"
It charged, club raised. My eyes widened in panic.
"Oh crap! Defense spell—wait—!"
WHAM!
The club struck me square in the chest… but I barely felt a thing.
"Huh?" I blinked. "That's it?"
I looked down, then up at the stunned orc. "Oh right… Luna's physical boost."
I cracked my neck. "Guess it's my turn."
Back in my gaming days, I always played necromancers, wizards, or anything magical. So I figured—why not?
"Summoning: Gate of Hell!!" I shouted, mostly just making it up on the spot.
But then…
Reality bent.
A massive, obsidian gate burst from the ground before me, wreathed in black flames. It groaned open—and from within, an army of undead surged out.
Their footsteps thundered. The sky darkened. A towering skeletal knight, clad in ancient armor, stepped forth at their lead.
"Wh-What!?" I stammered. "I was just making that up!"
The knight glared at the orc and raised his sword.
"By your command," his voice echoed.
Abaddon—the general of the undead—charged, followed by a flood of ghouls, skeletons, and wraiths.
The orc champion didn't stand a chance.
It let out one last roar before being consumed by the undead tide. In seconds, the arena was silent.
"…That spell was way too overpowered," I muttered, still stunned. "Is this really happening?"
High above, Luna watched with amused eyes.
"Impressive, Paul. You've exceeded my expectations."
I didn't respond right away. My hands were still trembling—not from fear, but excitement.
Was this really my power now?
If so… then this world had better be ready.
