My King System
Chapter 57 - Cerberus

"Zero, can you do me a favour?" Yuki said out loud in hopes that his guardian would respond.

"How may I be of assistance to you master?" a voice in Yuki's head said.

Tears from Yuki's eyes began to flow like water.

"Give Meurig a normal human body and grant him a normal human life. Please erase all memory of me from his mind as well," Yuki replied to Zero.

"At once sire," said Zero.

Outside the dungeon entrance gate, sitting on the grassy field, Meurig was teleported somewhere else. There stood a 6 year old kid on the playground of his school. Completely zoned out from everything going around him, the black haired boy stared into the sky.

"Hey Meurig, want to build a sandcastle?" his friend asked him.

The black haired boy stood wondering where he was and why he was there. He knew that he was waiting for something however, no matter how much he thought about it. The pieces never connected until his attention span finally broke.

"Meurig are you listening to me?" the black haired boy's friend asked.

"Yes, let's build a sand castle," the human Meurig agreed.

Joining his friend, Meurig began living a normal life. Nothing was a bother to him, he had a normal family and a normal life. Even in a world which allowed people to gain superhuman powers and grow at an astronomical rate, many chose to use the opportunity for everyday purposes. Using their ability for mundane things such as washing the dishes or making food, soon the concept of supernatural abilities would be incorporated into the boring ordinary life.

Being in the peak of the transitional period, human Meurig was never bothered by the concept of abilities and leveling up. To him it was an ordinary thing, as for all kids they learned and adapted to it easily.

"Will that be all master?" Zero asked after accomplishing the task that he had been assigned.

"Yes, thank you. You can leave now," Yuki replied.

"Farewell," said Zero.

Yuki wiped the tears from his eyes and walked through the white light which allowed one to enter the next stage. The second stage was much like the first one. The heated surface which contained many cracks which occurred due to being dry for many years. Nearly a hundred hell hounds which were the size of large dogs. Behind them stood the guard to the gate of the underworld. Known throughout hundreds of legends, Cerberus.

A fear invoking sight, however to Yuki it was just something boring.

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out three defense boost potions from his inventory and drank them all in an instant. Instead of thinking logically and getting a weapon to fight, Yuki walked into the crowd of hell hounds bare handed. Yuki didn't fight back, he let each and every single one of the monsters bite into him. He could experience the pain from each bite, the hellhounds chewed on him as if he was the first meal they had received in millenia.

"I once heard that to make pain go away, you just have to make yourself experience a greater pain so you can distract yourself. I guess that wasn't true, the pain of losing someone precious can never be beaten..."

"OW OW OW! That hurts so much! What was I thinking? I sound like a fake depressed emo kid that pretends that their life is over for validation."

"I need to get my act together," Yuki said as he kicked and punched the hell hounds away. His cloths, now completely torn apart.

As he began to gain control once again, he readjusted his shoulders.

"Man that was so painful," Yuki smiled.

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out "King's crown" and "Fallen angel of hell" from his inventory. His crown on his head and sword in his right hand, Yuki looked something that seemed to be a courageous king fighting for peace.

"Hey, Lydie while you're shopping make sure to get me new clothes. Just estimate the size of clothing. The dungeon is ruthless so I doubt that there will be much fabric left when I finally finish this dungeon," Yuki telepathically communicated to the king that he had previously sent to buy extra supplies.

"Your wish is my command," The king replied.

Once Yuki finished his request, he placed the crown back into his inventory all while fighting the monsters.

"Okay now that I finished all other business I can get to you," Yuki gave an evil smile as he looked behind him at the hellhounds.

Running towards one of them as fast as he possibly could, Yuki prepared to strike the hell hound with his sword. Ready to dodge, the monster moved away from the blade. However that was what Yuki had wanted the entire time. Before getting a chance to react, Yuki kicked the hell hound right in the jaw, dislocating its face.

"Look at you now? You're so dumb, how did you fall for such an easy trick?" Yuki laughed menacingly at the hellhound, now whimpering on the ground. All of the other monsters began to get angry at Yuki, seeing what he had done to their brother. As Yuki began to consinuasly kick the helpless hell hound, he noticed the evil presence that the collective group of hellhounds were emanating.

"You want to have a turn too?" Yuki's evil smile grew bigger. His eyes now wipe open, as if they stared into the souls of anyone they looked at.

"Activate ability: Fire control"

Yuki activated his ability and made a medium sized fireball which incinerated the hellhound which he was beating.

"Don't worry all of you will get your chance to experience hell," Yuki told the hell hounds.

Seeing the demonic creature in front of them, the monsters began to slowly move away from Yuki. Even an animal knows not to enter a fight it can't win.

"Where do you think you're going" Yuki whispered inside the ear of one of the hellhounds. Even if it couldn't understand the words, it knew that death was inevitable. Yuki had closed the distance in a matter of seconds, having moved faster than any of them could see. It would be no use to run away, all that's left was to accept their fate.

"Don't worry, once this dungeon is cleared, you'll all be reborn and serve me as your true king," Said Yuki. Now the perfect combination of a masochist, sadist and narcissist.
