The Pursuit Of Power

In the afterglow of s.e.x, Hana's head was full of happy brain chemicals that did nothing but inflate her love towards Yuuki greatly. Yuuki had fully converted all of his 'familial love' for Hana into pure love. This was reflected in their eyes as they looked at each other.

(1 New Quest)

[Job Quest]

- Let's get you a job so you can go to work!

Goals:

1) Get a Job

2) Get a jOb

3) Get a joB

(A/N - Idk why I did this...)

| Items |

+1 Teleportation Hearthstone

| Reward(s) |

+1 Job

+3 S-Rank Skills

(A/N - I just want to say that the skills so far have been graded based on the world Yuuki is in. The Leviathan Dagger is an A-Rank across the Multiverse because its a weapon. In, for example, Dragon Ballz, Goku would be sliced by the Leviathan Dagger but only because the Dagger is an A-Ranked weapon. Yuuki's skills are graded by the world rank also but only in this world because I don't want to make my life extremely difficult. These skills that he would receive are Multiverse-wide S-Rank skills. After this, probably all of his skills other than Slaughterous Steps and Beast Taming would fall to E-Rank.)

In his room, Yuuki had changed Hana's sheets but she still insisted on sleeping with him, not that he minded. Wrapping his arms around Hana's midriff, her soft body was held against his which instilled a sense of warmth and comfort which he gladly accepted.

Looking at the Quest, Yuuki was unsure of when to start it. From his understanding, a job was like a class but an official one, his stats would be increased proportionally to the job that was picked. Yuuki thought that he could be an assassin with his supreme speed and because he used a dagger so after checking to see that the time that passed by outside the Quest area would be almost none during the Quest, so Yuuki held the teleportation Hearthstone.

{Yuuki, prepare yourself for whatever could happen within. I don't know but I think you could die if you aren't careful!}

Finding himself in an area devoid of light, Yuuki could not see anything even with his [ Perception ] skill. Suddenly, a bright light appeared and he instinctively looked at it whilst four words appeared in his mind.

[ Samsara Trial Has Begun ]

---

Days after days, youth after old age, life, after more life.

Yuuki truly was caught off guard by this trial.

Mentally, he struggled to maintain his sense of self as he lived through 999 different Lives. Living for 999 Lifetimes strengthened his mental resolve and with each life, more difficulty came about but each time was still refining him.

Experiencing the Samsara Cycle was something that was not possible unless he died. Yuuki's memory was foggy after he entered and experienced the first 71 Lifes, thus, thoughts came to his mind that he had died. Right before he was about to accept his death, he had a gloomy feeling grow magnificently until he realized that his next thoughts would indicate his death should he continue. The harbinger of death held her tool against his neck and was ready to slice him and finish his life.

Slowly, each Life was lived. None of them were repetitive yet all of them led successful lives. Sometimes he became the King of a Country. Once he found himself as a slave who then enslaved his Master using the basic Magic of that life. In another life, he was an angel who was plotted against by other angels for being God's favorite and was forced into some demonic place where he became the supreme leader and even beat God's opposites, the four devil kings, this allowed him to come back to Heaven and send the fallen angels into hell.

At one point, he was an ant. Imagine that. An ant in a world full of giants which could squash you accidentally but where there were also miniature giants who stamped onto your friends for fun. Everything was a predator and a single mistake can kill you but you survive, you grow at an unreasonable pace and break the limits of an ant. First, you grew larger than a few centimeters. Next, you are larger than a standard 30 cm ruler. After that, you are a meter tall and grow human-like appendages after expanding your lifespan and become the king of the underground world.

Somehow, Yuuki barely maintained his sense of self with extraordinary willpower which was tempered under the trial of Samsara. He found himself back in the empty place before appearing before an Army all alone. Processing the situation with a blisteringly fast mental speed, Yuuki comprehended what was going on and his mind moved slower than his body for once. What is faster than action? Thought. So Yuuki's ability to move faster than he could think demonstrated a critical ability gained through multiple Lives.

[One-Man-Army Trial]

Calmness presented itself on his face and he analyzed his surroundings before changing his movements towards the area with a geographical advantage. Inside, he felt unlimited stamina and using a movement technique that he developed, allowed him to almost fly at an inhuman speed towards the area. The way to face an army was to get the high ground and to limit them to come from one direction.

On the hill that Yuuki stood on, the enemy army had to come from directly infront of him. He could not rush in and go for them by himself as his power was limited here in this place. It was weird, in all his lives there was one reoccurring thing, power.

Catching up to him, the army could only come four at a time and though the warriors at the front seemed to be strong, infront of Yuuki who held a shortsword, they fell instantly. After this, Yuuki's bloodl.u.s.t pressured every soldier who even so much as looked in his direction.

"You put a blade over here, a blade over there. Even kill some with a glare that's what killings all about." Attempting to rid himself of his boredom, Yuuki wanted a thrill so he charged forward and ignored the advantage he could have to favor a thrill. Not the thrill of killing, he was not sick in the head so he did not derive enjoyment from the deaths of others, no, he wanted the thrill of a fight. A fight with a small chance of him winning.

"Arrghh!" In unison, the army shouted to disperse their fear but rather than disappointment, Yuuki could only feel more of a thrill as he sped up his slicing movements and continued slicing and dicing. His seemingly endless stamina allowed him to flow like the sea, powerful movements that were a blur to the eyes of others as he rapidly reduced what was a fierce army to shreds with a steel shortsword that was dyed crimson from the blood it spilled.

Any previous apprehension he had for killing had gone and he felt almost nothing apart from minuscule pity as he sliced them apart.

Shortly after he started killing them, Yuuki had almost finished all of them off. At one point, the army was so scared that they tried to run away but Yuuki did what felt natural and dominated them with his power.

Once the general screamed something in a foreign language, Yuuki shrugged and killed him before reappearing in the area where nothing existed.

The first two trials were extraordinary, so Yuuki was excited for the third.
