Chapter 65 - Duke (1/2)

The large corpse fell back down. Blood trickled down countless holes riddling the monster's body, the biggest amongst them being right in the middle of the Ogre's forehead, splitting a crown-like circlet into two perfect halves.

”Whew! I almost died back there!”

Duke sighed in relief and lowered his bow. He adjusted his scarf and patted the dust of his clothes. He looked at the system message and grinned with excitement.

[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the quest: Return of the Ogre King, a recurring quest. You slew the Ogre King, an E+ rank boss, and have received 100 points as a reward.

As this is the tenth time you have completed this quest, you receive as an additional reward the Title 'King Slayer'.

Because you killed one thousand Ogre Warriors you have gained the Title 'Ogre's Nightmare'

King Slayer: to slay a king, one has to be cold-blooded and strong-willed, as the simple royal aura of a ruler is enough to frighten even the strongest of warriors! The user is granted immunity to all low-level status effects targeting the mind.

Ogre's Nightmare: after slaughtering so many ogres, you'll without a doubt become the main antagonist of the tales ogre mothers use to frighten their children to sleep! The user gains the passive abilities 'Fiery Gaze' and 'Frighten', which respectively lower by 5% the stats of weak Ogre monsters and grant a small chance of any Ogre Monsters faint whenever they gaze at the user.]

”There are actually titles? God, yes! So that information was true! You can truly get titles from repeating this recurring quest... and this other title seems OP too!” Duke excitedly spoke, tightening his grip around the handle of his longbow.

Duke, aka Kevin Dull, had been one of the latest arrivals to the system: having joined just a few months before, he could be considered a newcomer. At the same time, however, his knowledge about the system surpassed that of many veterans!

Before the system first appeared, Kevin had been a shut-in. He would spend all his time playing games in his room, becoming what people usually call NEET. Due to this, the few friends he initially had ditched him, the girl he confessed to, one he had liked ever since grade school, had rejected him. Kevin could still remember very well the expression of disappointment and disgust on their faces.

He had always regretted dropping out of college and relying on his parents' money, however, after the system arrived on Earth, he had finally a felt a chance, a ray of hope in the darkness; a chance to redeem himself!

Because of that, he had been gathering lots and lots of information even before receiving his class. Hunting areas, quests, classes, abilities, etc, etc.

He did not care whether they were actual facts with proof rumors, he had chased after them all!

And when his class finally arrived, he was met with quite a surprise: his class wasn't common, but at the same time it wasn't that rare either, being a slightly stronger version of any RPG's basic archer, Monster Hunter. At the same time, however, Monster Hunter allowed him to inflict greater damage against monster such as Ogres, allowing him to successfully complete solo raids against the E+ ranked boss monster, Ogre King.

Thanks to his knowledge Duke had grown strong enough to slay bosses ranking E+ in just four months! He was just level 39, but was up and coming!
