It was the Slaughter of Carnage! When the target's HP dropped below 20 percent, it triggered an instant death. Ding! 'Congratulations, you have successfully slain the Redmaw, a Level 100 eerie boss.' Ding! 'Congratulations, you have reached Level 13.' Ding! 'Congratulations, your beast has reached Level 13.' It continued ringing. Ding! 'Congratulations, you are now at Level 20.' Ding! 'Congratulations, your beast has reached Level 13.'Ding! 'You have reached the current level cap and cannot proceed further.' A stream of system notifications kept popping up. Together with Gray, they'd leveled up straight to Level 20! Killing an eerie boss that was 88 levels higher than him was practically unheard of, and the rewards were just as outrageous. If it weren't for the Tier Advancement Trial limit, Aiden guessed that this single kill could've boosted him another ten levels or so. "What…" Beside him, Merrick stared at the young man as wave after wave of white light burst out around his body. He was completely dumbfounded. This was insane! What had he just witnessed? Did a Level 12 rookie kill off a Level 100 eerie boss? That creature could even dominate Dominion! Was it fair? Did the laws of nature even exist anymore? … At the same time, announcements chimed worldwide. Ding! 'Global Announcement: Hailing from Grendola, Nighthale has successfully slain a Redmaw, marking the first kill of a Level 100 eerie boss.' 'Prestige Points +1000, Attribute Points +100, Warzone Points for Grendola +1' Ding! 'Global Announcement: Hailing from Grendola, Nighthale has successfully slain a Redmaw, marking the first kill of a Level 100 eerie boss.' 'Prestige Points +500, Attribute Points +50, Warzone Points for Grendola +1' Ding! … Every player received the announcement, and it was broadcast a full three times before finally stopping.All spawnpoints went dead silent. Everyone stood there in stunned silence, listening to those announcements while looking as though they'd seen a ghost. A light breeze blew past, carrying a chill, yet it couldn't cool the burning shock running through their bodies. Boom! Shortly after, players within Doomsday erupted into a deafening uproar, like tossing an explosive into a pile of dung. Players of all ages were trapped in different spawnpoints, shaking in fear as slimes and goblins spooked them, too scared to even step outside. How did someone manage to kill off a Level 100 boss? It was absurd! "Gosh, how do you even kill a Level 100 boss? That's insane!" "This is outrageous. Are we even playing the same game?" "I'm telling you, there has to be some bug in this game. Otherwise, Nighthale can't possibly be a normal player." "There's definitely something shady going on." "I don't usually worship anyone, but Nighthale's my new idol!" "He's such daddy material!" "Where's your shame? Why would you call some stranger that? It's weird to call my dad yours!" "…" A single pebble had stirred up a thousand ripples. Players across Grendola went into a frenzy, their attention completely drawn to this single event. Some of the comments were downright unhinged. However, this wasn't just talk. After witnessing how terrifying the monsters were, and how abnormal Doomsday really was, most people had already realized that the world had changed. In an environment like this, if one could curry favor with the top player on the Leaderboard through flattery, the line of people would wrap around the globe three times."Did Nighthale shoot up to Level 20? He's not just ahead of everyone. He's on a whole other level." "That's insane. How did he even do that? Does this guy know some sort of cheat code? Why doesn't he share it with everyone?" "That might be the case. Otherwise, how did a Level 12 player gain this much?" Soon, people noticed the change in the rankings. Although Aiden was still the only one on the list, he had soared to Level 20. People began analyzing the situation more rationally. In the end, they concluded that Nighthale had most likely activated some kind of cheat. Either that, he'd found a loophole in the system. Otherwise, his rapid rise was absurd.
