My King System
Chapter 184 - Progress

In the following days which turned into weeks, Yuki's clone continued to gather as many people as possible for the upcoming escape. Of course during the day he worked at the construction site, however, when it came to night he was referred to as "Boss". 

As for the original Yuki, he continuously challenged each of the stages of the 3rd dungeon in which he battled the evolving goblins. No matter how much it hurt him to battle without any potions or the use of Zero or One, Yuki battled his heart out. The only time in which he used potions was once he lost a limb in battle. That was too much of a compromise for him and as such justified the use of a full status recovery potion.

[Stage nine: Complete]

[If you would like to move to the 10th stage of the dungeon, please step forward]

[Stage ten difficulty: level 15+]

[Warning: You cannot retreat from this stage]

[The Goblin King Final Boss: Atli]

"So you're my final opponent," said Yuki as he walked towards the 10 metre tall giant which had a wooden club in his hand. 

Atli was a relatively heavy goblin with large dulled vampire-like teeth. He wore only a pelt which was made of deer skin around his crotch but other than that, he wore minimal clothes. As would be expected of such a disgusting monster. 

"Fallen angel of hell" in hand, Yuki quickly rushed to slay the monster. Even though it was a difficult match up, Yuki relentlessly attacked his opponent no matter the many times he himself was struck.

Back at the kingdom, arrangements were being made to send the level 7 player off to the biggest news station which had established itself in the new world. That company was "GNE" or better known as "Greatest News Ever". Although a childish name, the company did its job. well. 

"Are you sure you have everything with you Tarie?l" Yuki's clone asked the level 7 player. 

"Yes I'm sure. I already set my ability to teleport me exactly where GNE's news station is. Once I'm there, I'll proceed as the plan intructs," said Tariel as he waved goodbye to everyone who had come to see him off in the dead of night.

"Good luck, we're all counting on you," said Yuki's clone as he watched his underling activate his ability.

"Activate ability: Specific Teleportation"

In the blink of an eye Tariel had completely disappeared from the kingdom in which all of the people had been kept as prisoners and appeared in front of a large building inside a kingdom which had many people inside it. The news station itself was right beside the kingdom's castle. The only thing which had caught Tariel off guard was the change in the day. When he was in the kingdom in which he was imprisoned for so long it was night but in the kingdom which he had just teleported inside, it was bright as day due to the fact that the kingdoms were so far apart from each other. 

"I've finally made it. I guess it's time for all that preparation to pay off," said Tariel as he entered the building with his large backpack. He hadn't noticed it when he first appeared inside the kingdom but Tariel had caused quite a scene when he suddenly teleported out of nowhere. Of course these types of occurrences would happen every once in a while but it was enjoyable for the people to watch as this happened much like how kids feel when they see an airplane in the sky the first couple of times. 

"Hey, who are you? Do you have an appointment here?" asked the woman at the register of the building. 

"No I do not. Would it be possible for me to schedule one for right now?" Tariel asked her with an insincere smile. 

"We're currently booked. If you want I can put you in for a day within 2 weeks?" she replied. Even though Tariel had treated her coldly, she didn't seem to care all that much which indicated that she received that type of treatment more than she should have and in turn gotten used to it. 

"I'm sorry but I can't do that. I think I have a lead to something which my boss would very much like to know. It only benefits you. I'm not looking to gain money from you. I just want to give you some information then I'll go along with my day," said Tariel which caught the attention of the woman. 

"Please wait here, I'll grab my boss," the woman said before going to the back door for a while before coming back out with an old man behind her. 

"So what's this I hear about you having a lead on the news about?" the old man asked. 

"Perhaps it would be better to speak of this in a private room sir," Tariel suggested which the old man nodded in agreement to. 

"Please follow me," said the oldman as he walked up the stairs which were hidden by the wall in front of the register. While it looked like there was only a single wall, there in fact were 2 of them. One which connected from the right wall to the half wall which acted as a backboard for the register and then a full wall behind that for the room which the boss was in. The gab which was created from the half wall and full wall was where the staircase was placed. 

There were 4 floors in total in which the first floor acted as the greetings centre and the 2 floors above were where the employees worked. Lastly, the 4th floor was the V.I.P room. Once inside, the old man took a seat in the fancy royal blue couch and began his conversation once again with Tariel. 

"So what have you come to tell me about today?" the old man asked Tariel. 

"I have a lead on something which if it ends up being true could make your news station skyrocket in terms of newspaper buyers. This could be a great opportunity for you to expand your business and earn a large sum of money. All that I ask is that you listen and if you're interested, send someone from your team to investigate it. Or if you can't do that yourself, inform another branch of GNE to do so. Of course, I know you won't give this information to anyone else since the company you work for as a manager pays based on the amount of good news articles you produce. So think of this very carefully before you make a move," said Tariel, which caught the attention of the old man. 

"Go on already. You keep making me wait to hear what your lead is but you're not actually telling me," demanded the old man in excitement. 

"You're right, I'll just get on with it. I have reason to believe that the prison in which the global governors call "the most secure prison in the world" is just a kingdom in which they took over the kingdom and forcibly imprisoned all the people inside," said Tariel, which shocked the old man. 

"But why would they do that? The area wouldn't matter, as long as they had the guards, the place which they called prison wouldn't matter," the old man retaliated. 

"That's exactly the reason. By making you believe that they were using the kingdom as a literal prison, they blinded you into thinking that all they wanted was the large area and that the guards would actually act as the real prison. Nevertheless, you would end up believing that the kingdom's use was to create a prison which they succeeded in doing," Tariel further explained. 

"Why go through the trouble of doing that just to keep innocent people inside the kingdom?" the old man began to get suspicious. 

"There's only one reason for it. They're using the citizens of the kingdom as lab rats for their experiments. I have reason to believe that they plan on doing research on the brains of the people and their behaviors to research what caused abilities to exist and how they can be augmented..." Tariel continued to speak.

"... And that can only mean one thing! They plan on learning how to augment abilities so that they can change how many abilities they can have at the same time in turn being able to create an unstoppable force to rule the world with an iron first!" the old man said before getting up from the couch in excitement. 

"Hurry up and leave! I'm going to need to prepare my investigation team. I can't have you watching out strategies in case you're a spy. Leave right now or I'll have someone escort you out of here!" the old man yelled at Tariel. 

"Ok ok, no need to yell, old man. I'll make my way out of this place," said Tariel as he ran out like a scared child. Once he made it out of the building, he noticed that a couple people had gathered around the area but he didn't know why. Nevertheless, he used his ability and teleported back to his kingdom.
