RUMBLE!
The corridor ged, being a huimes as wide. Traps spread out through it all—giant magic circles I have never seen before imbued into the stone. Runigravements gee all kinds of high-level spells. The elements unleashed a rain of powerful and colorful attacks. But I walked through it all without even activating a barrier, my body unscathed, not even my clothes damaged.
Once I reached the end, I had at least calcuted roughly a hundred magical missiles sent my way, all of them enough to destroy half of New York. This Tutorial difficulty was truly Infernal! However, for me, it was yet another walk in the park. These elemental attacks could simply not even pare to 0.1% of Venerable’s Primordial Teique.
“Well, I’ve reached the end; is that it?” I wondered.
Ding!
[Well done! You have passed the Tutorial’s First Trial!]
[Rewards will be administered once you plete all three trials.]
[You have been automatically healed of all your injuries, and your Mana has been fully restored.]
I felt a wave of golden and blue energy rush into my body. It seems this was “full recovery” or whatever. Even though it didn’t even pare to my weakest healing teique, Whatever, the Mana was well appreciated. I also decided to take all the bricks with magic circles imbued into them to examihem ter.
“This is some nice loot already; I’m satisfied.”
There were roughly thirty such magic circles for me to analyze ter. I was rather curious about how this entire formu of runigravements worked. It’ll be a nice hobby to find out how it works once I’m doh this shabby Tutorial.
[Please cross the gate to ehe Tutorial’s Sed Trial.]
A message appeared above me: there was a stoe in front. I gently pushed it, breaking it apart into pieces by "act" as I stepped into the sed room. The entire space around me shifted, rapidly ging into peared to be a medium-sized vilge. The vilge was full of people—mortals.
And the entire pce was set abze. However, these mortals were not humans. They resembled anthropomorphic beings, more animal than human. Still, they wore ons and had emotions just like humans.
“Uuuaagh! Help!”
“Run!”
“Nooo!”
They were all screaming and g, running away from the ever-growing fmes as rger creatures chased after them, invading their vilge. They looked even less human-like, covered with bd red scales and with sharp hrowing from their heads. While the average person in this vilge was not taller than two meters, these monsters were over four meters each, gring down at the vilgers with cold, crimson-red eyes.
[You have ehe Tutorial’s Sed Trial: {Special Randomized Sario}!]
[The Tutorial’s Sed Trial sists of a randomly geed Sario that once happened within the worlds of the Tower.]
[You must search for several objectives and survive to plete them within a time limit.]
[Because of the difficulty level, the Sario has beeo its maximum difficulty and level of plexity.]
[Sario pletion Requirements]:
[1: Defeat the Devil General]
[2: Sy a minimum of 20 Devils.]
[3: Rescue at least 30 Vilgers.]
[4: ???] (Hidden)
[5: ???] (Hidden)
[Time Limit: 120 Minutes.]
“Iing.”
I disappeared from where I was as I read the messages. I appeared and disappeared stantly, cutting through the bodies of the Devils oer another with my nails, charged with Photon Energy. Their bodies fell with a mere touch. I sed the entire vilge as I did, spreading my Aura and then transf it.
“{Primordial Spirit Aura Arts}: {Heavenly Doppelgangers}”
My Aura divided into hundreds of doppelgangers of myself, running in all dires, resg every person that was about to die and healing them rapidly. At the same time, I cpped my hands around myself, releasing a cold shockwave of winds that turned off all the fmes.
FLASH!
A sed ter, I appeared above a rger-than-usual Devil, at least twice as rge as the rest, surrounded by at least a dozen Devils as guards.
“So you’re Devils, huh? I’ve never been fond of barbarian races.” I sighed. “In Murim, I opped until every barbarian within my territory was sin. Of course, the children were spared and re-educated to bee good people. This is but a simution, so I sadly ot enlighten you.”
“RAAAAH!”
The Devil General roared, lifting a huge bone axe and leaping into the skies. His legs unleashed bursts of red fmes, which he used to maneuver in the air. Iing.
“I will give you a swift end.”
I summoned my Yin and Yang Bde and swung it vertically; only a single slig attack was all I needed. A wave of darkness and light desded, cutting through the Devil General’s entire body and disiing it. The rest of his bodyguards had a swift end as well, disappearing before they could feel any pain.
“Death is the only mercy I offer to barbarians.” I sheathed my sword as I looked around.
Every vilger was safe, the vilge was saved as well, and all Devils were sihe sario had not ended yet. I looked down, quickly flying towards the church of the vilge. I entered rapidly, ign the trembling dog and cat-faced people.
“The statue…”
I looked at the statue of peared to be their Goddess, a chimeric being made of many animal parts biogether, yet it still had the shape of a beautiful woman, a mother, with a big belly, perhaps signifying pregnancy, and rge breasts and wide hips. Despite most of the people here being mammals, she had the face of a reptile.
[The Statue of the Toddess {Mother Of All Beasts} blesses you with her strength to save her people.]
[You have received a temporary buff: {Devil Syer}: Increases Attack against Devils by +300%, ignores 50% of their defenses. Duration: 10 Minutes.]
“Oh… Was I supposed to use this to…?” I wondered, feeling like ughing right now. “My bad, I suppose. I’ll take the blessing anyway. Thank you.”
I left the church; the sario was not do either. I quickly moved to another pce, underground, right below the vilge. I broke through to find something rather horrid. There were dozens of Devil women and children ed, trembling, some about to die.
“So that’s how it is…” I sighed. “I shouldn’t have jumped to clusions so fast, huh? Well, it’s not like it 't be fixed. They died just retly, right? Even if vaporized,"
“{Primordial River of Time Arts}: {Regression}”
I eled some dews of Primordial Esseo my Inner Realm, where a Primordial Heavenly Treasure of the Murim World, he Primordial River of Time, was flowing. I had stolen only half of this treasure because it kept Murim’s world moving forward. Once I eled its powers, Time itself started to go back, and the areas where all the Devils died began tress; they revived in an instant.
My Doppelgangers quickly restraihem before they were able to kill any more vilgers. And then I freed the Devils below, healed them, and brought them to the surface. The people were shocked at what I was doing; some didn’t know of this, others did.
“Hey! What did you do?! Didn’t you sy the devils?! Why are you freeing those sves?!”
“Sves…” I sighed. “I know this is a simution, but this is getting slightly annoying now. Move aside if you don’t wao kill you.”
“E-Eek!” The dog-faobleman stepped back, angered and frustrated.
It seems the house above these sves was his. From just a gnce, I could tell he was some sort of ruler of this vilge. The fool kidnapped and ehe Devil women and children and then never expected the men to e back for them.
“T-Thank… you.” The Devil General was still trying to process what happened, but the mome one of the Devil women and two little children, he quickly hugged them, tears flowing from his eyes.
“No, it’s fine. I’m sorry for killing you without thinking about it twice. A bad habit of Murim, for sure.” I sighed. “I will have to rethink my as so far. Even as strong as I am, I often it mistakes. You may go, and please never return to this vilge.”
“As long as the beast people don’t do anything, we won't e back.” The Devil General nodded, walking away with everyone alive.
And the sario was finally done. All my surroundings shifted as the people and the devils disappeared, turning into nothing but particles of light. They were indeed never real; I knew from the beginning that they were just projes of Mana.
Ding!
[You have pleted the following Requirements for pletion]:
[1: Defeat the Devil General: 1/1]
[2: Sy a minimum of 20 Devils: 20/20]

[Time spent: 12 Minutes.]
[You have pleted the Tutorial Sed Trial!]
"There are quite a lot of tricky requirements. It is certainly a Trial made for someone powerful.” I smiled. “Though, I feel rather ied now! Are all the Trials oower’s floing to be as iing as this? I am beginning to feel rather curious now.”
[Well done! You have passed the Tutorial’s Sed Trial!]
[Rewards will be administered once you plete all three trials.]
[You have been automatically healed of all your injuries, and your Mana has been fully restored.]
[Please ehe Gate for the third and st Trial of the Tutorial.]
A gate opened in front of me, spiraling slowly as it glowed with a bright blue light. I stepped forward without any time to lose, finding myself in an open field. A wastend of only stone and rocks. In front of me, there was anate, a blue portal that slowly turned red, then bck. Something from within was ing.
Ding!
[You have ehe Tutorial's third and final Trial: {Surpass your Limits}!]
[To end the Tutorial, the Pyer must showcase their potential to the Tods and surpass their limits. The Tower is a pce where anybody bee powerful with hard work and temperance.]
[You must defeat the foe in front of you with all your strength. It is a foe specially desigo fight you—someohat might even be simir to you but that will, without doubt, try to kill you.]
The gate slowly opened further as someoepped out. It was a man, a simple human male. With short and shabby-looking bck hair and bright blue eyes, he was rather muscur but not overly bulky. Slightly tall, but not too tall. He was wearing a suit of medieval clothes and silver-colored armor, holding a magic, golden sword in his hands.
He immediately looked at me, and I could feel an immense amount of Mana surging from him. It wasn’t endless, but it was certainly very big, almost parable to Yanisse’s own Mana reserves. Which I already thought were the rgest I’ve ever seen.
“This pce… Am I ba Earth? Wait, no! I didn’t want to return!” He muttered, looking rather shocked. “Who sent me here? The Saintess? But she’s my obedient sve! Who else then?”
Back to Earth? Wait, is this man…?
[To plete the Third Trial of the Tutorial, sy the [Returner (??? Rank)]!]
[O is firmed that you have sin the monster, you will be able to plete the Tutorial and receive all accumuted rewards.]
“Monster?” I wondered. “How amusing… Yes, I am from Earth. And you seem to be trapped ihe Tutorial, son.”
“Tutorial? What are you talking about?” He asked me with sharp eyes, full of doubt. He sloroached me, his Aura of Mana folding around his body as protective armor. “Wait, aren’t you cute? I was just done fug my harem, and I was suddenly sent here… I guess I just go bad forth now?”
“…Excuse me?” I asked.
“Nah, not like I o expin anything else. You’re cute; you want to bey wife too?” He asked me out of the blue. “Don’t worry, I’m going to take good care of you.”
The moment he realized I was beautiful, he easily lowered his guard, and his Aura receded almost pletely. Instead, he had a disgusting expression on his face. His eyes only looked at me as some sort of object to pleasure himself.
“…”
“Nothing to say? I guess you’re baffled about my Mana. Heh, everyone’s always surprised.” He ughed. “Since I got sent into that world, I’ve been finally living the life I wanted. Free from my job, free from society. I even lost my virginity to my cute beast girl sve.”
“…Is that so?”
“Yeah! You’re so hot, actually; I grab your tits?” He stretched his hands towards me.
However, the moment he was about to touch me, a bst of rainbow lightning blew up both of his hands, blood spttering everywhere.
“E-Eh?”
His eyes opened wide as he moved as quickly as possible before my sword was about to cut him apart. I gred at him; his arms suddenly began growing back up as he jured a potent healing spell.
“I was feeling a bit bad about you, but it seems I was pletely wrong. You’re just another bastard, the same type of man I’ve killed many times.” I smiled. “For daring to offend a great primordial such as myself, the only thing you deserve is an agonizih.”
“W-What the fuck are you talking about?! I’ve never met such a powerful woman before…” He cried. “Y-You damn slut! I’m going to cut you down and then rape the shit out of you to show you who’s boss here!” While screaming like a pathetic teenager, despite being ast his thirties, he leaped towards me. “I ’t wait to see your face you get pregnant with my seed! HAHAHAH!”
A flurry of powerful spells desded upon my body—explosions of divine fmes, bck lightning, crimson winds, swords made of ice, and even summoned spirit familiars to all elements—stantly attag me.
Yet they couldn’t eve past my Immortal I Aura.
“Very fshy, but dull.”
“W-Wha…? Are you immuo magic or something?! Then…”
He suddenly smiled wickedly, uhing his divine magic sword and pointing it at me. A sudden surge of tremendous quantities of mana and other energies surged from within.
“How about this?!”
SLAAASH!
The wave of light cut through any stone or ro the viity, making the floor colpse. Yet when it reached me, I didn’t eveo use my sword to parry it; I used one of my fingers. His face was distorted in utter disbelief once his attack was pletely ed.
CLASH!
“W-What?!”
“You seem to have nded in a much weaker, safer world than the one I nded in. In a world where yh quantity of mana makes you their king, you abused the people there, and you have doerrible things to them, it appears. By merely looking at how you ad talk, you’ve never met someorohan you.”
“What are you talking about? I am the stro! I am the stro Isekai protagonist! I am the main character!”
He was pletely insane. A flurry of powerful attacks was unleashed against me, magid sword teiques bining into endless explosions of elemental colors. Yet, there was absolutely nothing to fear; he was weak.
“You’re only feedih your Mana.” I ughed. “I appreciate it, but I have to be ho. You’re pletely insane.”
I walked right in front of him, his eyes full of shock, but then he smiled.
“Hah… Hahaha, yeah. I get it now; it’s an illusion of sorts, right? I am dreaming or something. Must be Lilith giving me another weird dream as usual, that Succubus really likes pranking me.”
He was being delusional. But I couldn’t pity a man like him.
"Okay, Lilith, enough! I get it! Just get me out! I’ll fuck you three times today just so you shut up.”
I grabbed his sword and shattered it into pieces with my bare hand. I absorbed all the Mana inside of the sword; it was a nice amount.
“This is not an illusion.”
“E-Eh?”
“This is real, and yoing to die now.”
“What? No…! I killed the Demon King; I am Arcadia’s stro!”
“Maybe, but not the stro outside of Arcadia.”
I grabbed one of his arms and then tore it apart from his body. The pain that came with it quickly made him realize this was indeed not a dream. When I vaporized his hands before, it seemed like it was so fast that he didn’t feel enough pain.
“AAARRGH!”
He fell to his knees, his eyes full of disbelief.
“Let me see what you’ve done.”
I touched his forehead, peeking through his memories, only to find absolutely disgusting things. Rape, pilging, killing hat offered him a helping hand, destroying the Demon Kingdom, which was actually peaceful. And even more, because he was tired of people, he ter burhe same kingdom that summoned him there to the ground without even sparing children. Even though they offered to return him to Earth as a reward.
“I don’t want to return, idiots! This is my Isekai life; I’m living here! I’ll be here forever. I am your new ruler! Hahaha!”
“Without a doubt, you’re a monster fitting of living in Murim as a despicable Demonic Cultivator.”
I sliced his other arm as he tinuously screamed, impl me to stop. I drained him of all his Mana, so he couldn’t do anything but see as I cut his body into pieces bit by bit. This was a method of torture I often used against irremediable and corrupt demonic cultivators, so they would learn and taste the pain of all those they had wronged and killed.
“Do you feel it now, young man? The pain? The agony of all those you’ve wronged. It is now all over your body. Pain, agony, and blood. Do you uand that you were never perfect? That you were merely a speck of dust in the universe? You should have been a good person instead; you should have at the very least attempted to tinue being a det human being.” I sighed. "Yet, what did you do once you gained power? You killed is; you raped; you pilged; you did as you pleased.”
“P-Please wait! I did it because I didn’t have any other option! I-I was scared, okay?!”
“And because you were scared you brainwashed, tortured, and raped girls all the time? Oh, how scared you were!”
“Y-YOU…! YOU FUG SLUT!”
He gave a mighty roar of fury, and suddenly, a draic power surged from within. His bloodline boiled i moment; his body started transf into a half-dragon being, rapidly regeing all the damage I dealt. Oh, so he’s that kind of fighter.
“I will kill you with the power of my Divine Bck Dragon Bloodline! I still have this; I almost fot! HAHAHAHA!”
“Iing transformation, but aside from being fshy, it doesn’t make much of a difference.”
SLASH!
As he ughed loudly, I sshed through his entire body again with my sword this time. His gigantic, over a hundred-meter-tall dragon body fell into pieces, spttering blood and flesh over the wastend’s floor.
“E-Eh?”
His head fell from the skies as I quickly stomped over it. I kept only his head alive, stantly iing it with life force, so he could see as I slowly started to shatter his skull uhe pressure of my weight. I imagihe pain was unbearable.
“P-Please wait! Don’t kill me! I don’t want to die yet!”
CRACK!
Slowly, I shattered his skull and crushed his brain.
Crack, crack…!
“I haven’t even fucked enough girls! WAIT!”
Slowly, very slowly, until he finally…
“PLEASEEEE!”
His brains exploded out of his gigantic, draic skull.
CRASH!
The Returner’s body didn’t turn into particles of light as I imagined; blood spttered everywhere. I sighed in relief. Well, this was just a normal day ba Murim. Almost every day I was sying an immortal that attempted to catch me, kill me, or ensve me because I was a beautiful woman.
“I didn’t even ask his name... Oh well, may you rest in peace.”
I gave a silent prayer as I stored his body inside my Inner Realm. I will analyze his magic abilities and dragon bloodlier. I could use him to create a neon, or maybe armor for my mother and sister.
Ding!

“Oh, well, thank you for the generosity. And I got many rewards. I hope some of these items are slightly useful.” I smiled. “I didn’t know I could ears this way. I should check that Credit Shop ter.”
As I ied what I earned, a new portal appeared in front of me, leadio the Tower’s First Floor. I stepped forward, finding myself in the middle of a medieval European city, bustling with all kinds of people of all shapes and sizes. Mostly a lot of humans. But I also noticed the Devils from before, the beast people, elves, orcs, and dwarves.

“How simple…” I yawned. “Oh well, here we are! I suppose you two e out.”

“Phew, you’re finally done? I was tired of petting those things.” My mhed. “Hey, we’re here! So this is Nexus, Katherine. You’ll like this pce. The Adventurer Guild is a really nice pce. A bit rough around the edges, but it's still nice.”

Suddenly, a bunch of items materialized in front of Ruby without her doing a sihing. She received the same things I did! Hahaha, this was hirious.
“E-Eeeeh?! Is this okay?! I have so much good stuff! Wait, why did I get an egg?”
A lot of people started staring at our rewards in awe. I suppose S Grade items are not even a thing oower’s first floor.
“For now, we should go find a safer pce with some privacy. Follow me. I know of an Inn with a big room.”
My mother led us through the treacherous city, and I admired every er of it in awe.
Of course, some suspicious figures began following us as well.
