Dual System: Ascension of A Nameless Nobody

[Five Years Later]

[The Third Floor, The Tower]

On a lone precipice, he stood, overlooking a seraphic horizon that was enveloped in unseen walls. Behind him, an azure scarf fluttered in the passing winds pulled by the high altitude, being neighbored by passing clouds.

"System, bring up my status."

[Player: Jeong-Hui.]

[Level: 540. EXP: 125800/450000.]

[Health: 25000/25000. Spirit: 15000/15000.]

[Usable Skill Points: 12.]

"...Alright," he said to himself, stretching his fingers and cracking his knuckles, "...Let's do this."

His eyes were set on the colossal, platinum-scaled dragon occupying the ground far below–yet, despite it inhabiting the ground floor that was hundreds of meters below, it still stood tall and imposing.

I've been putting this off long enough now. It's about time I take care of this, he thought.

As he stretched his body, another prompt appeared, sensing his intent to fight.

[Martial Arts Proficiency: Taekwondo: 5060/9999]

Without any further hesitation, he leapt from the summit of the seraphic mountain, drawing his daggers from their sheaths that radiated with a dormant power.

Through the usage of his ability, he was granted superb physicality, allowing him to land from the mighty fall without flinching, plummeting down as he landed on both of his boots.

The moment he landed, the behemoth of a dragon, armored in shining, opulent scales that reflected the heavenly, orange rays of sunlight, took notice of him.

A roar unleashed as it parted its mighty maw, sending a tremor through the stone flooring, cracking it and producing an overwhelming wood, but he stood tall.

"Alright, big guy…let's do this."

From his form, nothing more than an ant when compared to the platinum beast, he unleashed an aura of his own–a magnificent energy that shook the land at his feet, producing a vibrant, potent hum that propelled outwards.

[Enemy Identified: "Dragon King – Deicide" | Level 600]

Though the level of the platinum-scaled dragon surpassed his own, this was of little consequence to the young man who'd lost all mercy in his eyes.

As the dragon, as mighty and large as a mountain, swiped one of its claws towards him, he moved out of the way with instantaneous speed, warping around it and running along its arm with agility that mimicked lightning.

[Innate Skill: "Lightning Infusion"]

It was a passive ability that allowed him to use the essence of lightning throughout his body and to enhance his attacks, allowing him to amplify his speed and attack power to greater heights.

As such, he used his beloved daggers, dragging them along the scales of the great beast as he sped up the length of its limb.

Though as he zapped around its colossal limb, etching slices forged with azure lightning against its scales, they simply bounced off its platinum shine.

No effect? He thought.

In retaliation, the Dragon King's limb swept away with surprising speed for its size, causing the air to contort and crack before another swipe came in while he was left mid-air.

Without any foothold, he was left seemingly helpless to the building-sized claw heading his way. Despite the look of the situation, there was utter calmness and focus in his emerald eyes as he tossed one of his daggers towards the dragon's head.

Just before the claw reached him–he vanished.

To the eyes of the Dragon King, the red-haired human had disappeared from before his claws and reappeared right on top of his snout, catching his thrown dagger.

["Destined Warp"]

It was an ability that allowed him to teleport wherever he threw his weapon, allowing him complete freedom over his movement in combat.

As he was brought directly in front of the platinum beast's face, being nothing more than a pimple in scale to it, he spun around as a black aura clad itself around his leg.

With his martial arts ability scaling to ludicrous heights, the power drawn out was even greater–

["God King Providence"]

The pitch-black aura was dense and extreme in potency, contorting the space around his leg as he unleashed a monstrous kick, delivered straight to the nose of the Dragon King.

An impact was born that swallowed the surrounding valley in a veil of darkness; the air was engulfed in abyssal flames and the clouds parted.

The impact subverted casualty, making it impossible to dodge the kick nor avoid its lethality. Still, the Dragon King, Deicide, proved to be a sturdy beast fitting of its title as though its divine scales were damaged, it didn't fail to retaliate.

As it parted its jaws, the glow of a magnificent flame was seen by Jeong-Hui, who utilized "Destined Warp" in the knick of time, tossing upwards as he reappeared just below the clouds. From above, he witnessed a golden beam of fire shoot from the dragon's mouth, completely erasing the mountain in its path.

In response, he forged his own counterattack:

["God Cutter" + "Devil Ark" + "Behemoth Rend"]

[New Spell(s) Forged: "God of Darkness' Continent Slicer"]

["God of Darkness' Continent Slicer"]

[Spirit: -5000 | 10000/15000]

Invoking the combined ability, he slashed his blades from a distance, manifesting into existence contortions of darkness that bent space, warping downward as the air unleashed magnificent echoes of power before slicing into the dragon's scales.

A devastating set of lacerations were embedded into the dragon's flesh, leaving it half-dead as its own blood quickly formed a small river beneath itself.

"Let's hurry this up," he said.

There was little left in his mind in the way of kindness. After losing everything, he gave in fully to the necessity to survive. Though he hardly had anything left to live for, he simply did so out of respect for the fallen.

Though at this point, most of his resolve was merely to spite 'God.'

It wasn't over yet as he witnessed the bleeding, divine dragon roar out, lifting itself up as its wings flapped, producing mountain-shaping shock waves while a primordial force gathered in its throat.

Though before any such attack could be launched, the merciless, red-haired assassin acted:

["Godless Ring"]

The high-level assassin technique invoked the very concept of "beheading", working on even the colossal beast as a ring-shaped cut of space perfectly encapsulated the dragon's neck before a fountain of blood sprayed out just before its head fell from its neck.
