Chapter 5 - The Masked Phantom

Moon kept walking through the broken streets. He felt his power growing with every step, but he was also smart. If the big Guilds found out a "Null" was killing monsters so easily, they would try to capture him or kill him.

He needed a disguise.

He stepped into a ruined clothing store and found a long, torn black scarf. He wrapped it tightly around his mouth and nose. He pulled his dark hair down over his forehead. Now, nobody could see his face. He looked like a dark ninja walking through the apocalypse.

"Help! Somebody, please help!"

A loud scream echoed from a nearby street.

Moon jumped on top of a crushed car and looked down into an alley. Three new players, probably his age, were trapped. They all had weak [D-Rank] and [E-Rank] classes floating above their heads.

In front of them was a terrifying monster. It was a giant wolf with dark red fur and glowing, hateful eyes.

[Blood Wolf (Level 6)]

"Hold your shield up!" a girl cried out. "I can't! It's too strong!" yelled a boy holding a cracked wooden shield.

The Blood Wolf growled and jumped at the boy. Its massive claws were ready to rip him apart. The three players closed their eyes, waiting for the end.

But the end never came.

SWOOSH!

Moon dropped down from the car like a falling shadow. He didn't even use his knife. He clenched his fist. His muscles tightened with the crazy power of the [Grim Reaper] talent. He had the strength of the goblins, the bully, and the hound all multiplied by five.

He punched the Level 6 Blood Wolf right in the side of its head with his [Savage Blow].

BAM!

The giant wolf was thrown into the air, smashing into a brick wall. It fell to the ground, completely defeated in a single hit. The red particles of its life energy floated out and zoomed right into Moon's chest.

[You have killed a Level 6 Blood Wolf.]

[Grim Reaper Activated: Stats Increased by 5x! Gained 30 Life Points!]

The three trapped players opened their eyes. They were totally shocked. A massive, scary boss had just been killed in one punch by a boy wearing a black scarf.

"W-Who are you?" the boy with the shield asked, his hands shaking. "Are you an S-Rank Assassin from a big Guild?"

Moon didn't answer. He didn't even look at them. He just picked up the glowing red crystal the wolf dropped on the ground.

"He's a ghost..." the girl whispered, watching him in awe.

Without saying a single word, Moon turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the ruined city. He didn't need their thanks. He only needed their monsters.
