Destroying My Own World

"He has been discharged already? With those wounds on his body? Why didn't you tell me? It's already noon," Richard asked and looked at Russel with a surprised look after he heard that Mykel was already back in New York early in the morning. "Prepare the helicopter, I want to see him in person and ask about what happened," Richard said as he closed the document in his hands.

They both flew to New York, but Richard had been talking on the phone the whole time. Russel also was busy talking on the phone, and the moment they were done with all the calls, they both leaned on the chair and just stared blankly at the city from above where the sun shined brightly.

"The word travels really fast there. To think everyone around the world already knows that we have killed the giant demon. They're immediately asking us to assist them? Are they really out of their mind? We are struggling here and they have the guts to request help?" Richard sighed as he massaged his nose bridge.

"Should we tell this to Mister Mykel?" Russel asked.

"I'll tell him myself after I know it's okay to tell him. I don't want to be a pushover, and losing him is worse than losing the four guilds right now," Richard answered.

(Inside the training ground)

Mykel was wiping off the sweat on his face and neck, he was shirtless and looked at everyone laid down on the ground with bruises on their bodies. Lyneth came and gave him a bottle of water, she chuckled and saw everything from the side.

"Now you know why I decided to let them know. You guys are not even strong enough to put me down, not even a scratch on my body," Mykel said after he took a sip of his drink.

"Boss, is your power back? There's no way for us who have higher level than you could be beaten to a pulp with just a single punch and kick," Gunnar asked as he tried to stand up, but his body didn't listen.

"Not even one percent of my power is back, but it was enough to beat all of you," Mykel answered as he sat down and put the towel on his head. "You need more level, maybe once you reached level two hundred you can be equal to me," Mykel continued.

"This system sucks ass," Rozan said as he slowly turned his body to stare at the ceiling.

[System is overriding....]

[Estimated time until the system is reestablished: 2200 Hours 12 Minutes 40 seconds]

Mykel looked at his fucked up status screen that mixed with both his system and the new system. It looked so weird and wondered if the power he possessed was pure from the old system or a mix of both. All he knew was that he was far stronger than anyone on Earth, and that was good enough for a starter. He knew he would grow stronger and stronger as time passed by, so he could only wait patiently.

"Get up. You guys need to increase your skill level and get a new one," Mykel said as he closed the panel.

Everyone got up and forced themselves because they wanted to get stronger. It gave them motivation because soon their powers would come back to them as well. They had to survive with the current system that they had, and they didn't want to be a burden on Mykel's goal.

Elena dashed forward and threw punches and kicks at Mykel, but he blocked them so easily. She didn't hold back on her strength and pushed her to her limit because she wanted to make Mykel proud.

"More, Elena!" Mykel shouted.

Elena screamed her lungs out as her fist was filled with anger and excitement. She punched Mykel in the chest and it was enough to knock Mykel back quite far. She didn't stop and kept throwing punches and kicks at him as her vision only focused on Mykel's face.

Mykel suddenly grabbed her neck and she was startled that she didn't see it coming. She got lifted up and then slammed down to the ground so hard that the ground broke. She coughed blood, but she didn't react to the pain and focused on trying to remove Mykel's hand from her neck.

"Keep your head cool, Elena. Never show your anger and give them the satisfaction that you're weaker than them. Use your head to make the situation to your advantage," Mykel said as he felt his hand being scratched with her nails to free herself.

Elena calmed down, and then she wrapped her legs around Mykel's neck. She screamed as she pushed Mykel down and tried to lock him to the ground.

"It's our chance! Get him!" Elena shouted.

Everyone started to run and tried to lock him on the ground by holding all his limbs down. Aurea was sitting on top of his chest and she looked excited about it. She then clenched her right fist and punched Mykel in the face without hesitation.

*Creak!*

Aurea's wrist got dislocated after that punch, and she groaned in pain because it felt like she was punching a steel wall. She immediately fixed her wrist and it made another cracking sound.

"Nice try, but this isn't enough," Mykel clenched his fists and sent everyone away from him. "You think everyone would be there to help every time, Elena? Use another way where you alone would be enough to deal with the situation," Mykel said as he looked at Elena.

"Then teach me how!" Elena shouted as she ran toward Mykel.

Everyone fought Mykel with blood and sweat, but the outcome was still the same. They couldn't beat him, but this time they managed to scratch his body and left a few bruises.

"Mykel, we have a guest," Lyneth said as she pointed at the door.

Mykel looked at the door and saw Richard and Russel standing still with their eyes and mouths wide open. They had been watching and couldn't believe what they saw because of how powerful and invincible Mykel was.

"That's enough training for today, you guys can take a break," Mykel said as he grabbed the towel in Lyneth's hand.

Everyone sighed and stretched their bodies with relief because they had been training since early in the morning nonstop. They all sat down on the sides as they let their bodies heal and listened to what Richard had to say since he came unnoticed.

"Good afternoon, Mister Mykel. It appears that we bother your training," Richard said as he looked at Jeanne and the others. They were shaking their heads slowly and he could tell that they were grateful for his sudden visit. "I guess not," Richard raised his eyebrows as he slowly looked at Mykel.

"If you came here to show gratitude, that's unnecessary because we are not in that kind of awkward friendship. But I know you know that, so then you came here for something else," Mykel said.

"Have they contacted you? The situation over there is quite dire," Richard said.

"No, they haven't. I'm quite surprised they haven't contacted me yet even though the situation all over the world is in chaos," Mykel answered as he put on his shirt. "That's that, but I heard the five people that entered the door in Egypt have come back. Any information about them?" Mykel asked.

"The information we got is that they're going to fight the strong demon. Another thing is that they have become a totally different people after they came out," Richard answered as he crossed his arms.

"They have spoken with Gods, what did you expect? I think they have become the servants of Gods," Mykel said.

"Do you think they're powerful enough to stop the strong demon? I mean, I don't know exactly how powerful they are compared to you, but I assume they should be special, right?" Richard asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Who knows, but I'm as curious as you are, Richard. I want to see them in action as well and see what they're capable of," Mykel said
