"Heavs, what happed here?" Far from where us was battling the G Drake Lizard King, a group of warriors arrived, staring in disbelief at the battlefield. Thousands of Tier 3 monster corpsesy scattered across the g.


    The shock was writt across their faces. These warriors, all of them Master stage experts, had clearly be through their own struggles. Yet, seeing the sheer number of fall monsters before them, some began to turn pale.


    Soon, more people started arriving, including several Grandmaster stage experts, each wearing the same look of astonishmt. A few minutes earlier, wh the me Ball had exploded, it had drawn atttion from those scattered throughout other regions of the Forbidd Zone.


    They had rushed over at full speed to investigate the chaos, but by the time they arrived, only the bodies of Tier 3 monsters remained. There was no sign of the person responsible. Greed quickly crept into some of their eyes.


    "Who could have killed this many monsters?" one Grandmaster stage expert asked, his voice filled with awe.


    "Why bother asking?" another replied, his gaze filled with greed. "There''s no one here. This is a rare opportunity. We should grab these bodies and run before whoever did thises back."


    "Do you have a death wish?" a more clear-headed expert retorted, surveying the battlefield with caution. "Whoever did this must be powerful ough that they can kill you in an instant. Look at how many monsters they took down."


    "Th what should we do?" someone else asked nervously.


    "Let''s survey the area first," the cautious one suggested. "If we''re certain no one''s a, we can take what we want."


    Everyone nodded in agreemt and began to spread out, carefully moving a the battlefield, searching for any signs of danger.


    Suddly, a deafing roar echoed from far away, causing everyone to freeze in their tracks. The sheer force of the roar st pressure crashing down on them, forcing several to buckle under its weight. But just as suddly as it had appeared, the pressure was wiped away by a powerful booming sound.


    "Hurry! There''s a battle up ahead!" one of the experts shouted, quickly darting toward the direction of the noise. The others followed closely behind, racing toward the new source of chaos.


    Rushing forward, they arrived at a section of the g that was still smoldering from the explosion. Charred earth stretched before them, the air thick with heat and smoke.


    "Heavs, what could have caused this?" someone muttered, voice filled with awe.


    "More importantly, who could have caused this?" another person asked, eyes scanning the scorched surings. They all stood still for a momt, staring at the devastation in disbelief.


    "Look ahead, Someone''s still fighting" the leader of the group suddly called out, pointing toward the distance.


    Everyone immediately moved closer, straining to see what was happing. As they got a clearer view, one of the warriors gasped in shock. "Is... Is that the G Drake Lizard King?" he shouted, his jaw hanging by a thread.


    "Oh my god!" another eximed, panic rising in his voice. "It''s the Overlord of this region! The G Drake Lizard King!"


    They all stared in shock at the sight ahead of them. But it wasn''t just the monstrous creature that held their atttion. There, in the midst of the chaos, stood a lone figure—a -haired boy, battling fiercely against the Overlord.


    "Who is that kid?" someone whispered, eyes wide with disbelief. "Why is he fighting the Overlord?"


    The warriors watched in stunned silce, unable to tear their eyes away from the impossible sce unfolding before them.


    "Fuck, he''s overpowering the Overlord! Quick, someone records this!" a figure eximed, frantically looking a. Seeing that everyone else already had their recording devices out, he quickly fumbled for his ss phone and started filming the battle.


    Up ahead, us continued to circle the G Drake Lizard King, unleashing fire attacks with reltless precision. Each strikended with deadly uracy, his movemts smooth and calcted. The arcs of fire he conjured were sharper than ever, each one shimmering with a gold aura.


    Ever since awaking his sword aura, us had expericed explosive growth in his swordsmanship. Every strike now carried an extra force, ough to cut through ev the toughest defses of the monster. No matter how thick its hide, his attacks always left a mark.


    Suddly, the G Drake Lizard King let out a deafing roar and leaped high into the air. Its colossal body came crashing down toward us, aiming to crush him beath its massive weight. But us only smirked and dashed forward, disappearing and reappearing at the monster''s tail just as it was about tond.


    His sword gleamed crimson, and with a swift sh, he cut into the beast''s tail, igniting it in mes.


    us didn''t stop there. As the monster began to descd, he swung his sword again, this time striking its side. The force of the blow st the monster crashing into the g with a thunderous boom, causing a massive shockwave that pushed us back several meters.


    "Fuck, having a big body sure has its perks," us cursed, picking himself up from the g. He shook off the impact and dashed forward again, sding out a few more zing fire arcs before closing the distance betwe him and the beast.


    "So it seems my defse still needs some work," us muttered to himself. After narrowly surviving the heatwave and shockwave from the me ball''s detonation and now being thrown back by the monster''s weight, he realized he was stillcking in defse. Ev with all his power, there was more to improve.


    But he wasn''t done yet. He would keep pushing until he reached his limit—if he had one at all.


    BOOM!


    The G Drake Lizard King mmed its massive ws into the g, causing spikes of harded earth to erupt and shoot toward us. us smirked, effortlessly dodging some of the spikes while shattering others with quick, precise strikes from his sword.


    The G Drake Lizard King was an earth-type monster, fully adept at manipting the earth elemt. Its attacks were earth-based, each designed to crush or impale its emies. But us wasn''t worried. His agility far outmatched the colossal monster.


    He moved with incredible speed, his reflexes razor-sharp, and before any of the monster''s attacks could ev reach him, us would disrupt them with ease.


    us knew he wouldn''t have had such an easy time if the G Drake Lizard King had be a human. A skilled human oppont might have predicted his moves, adapted to his speed, or countered his attacks. But this monster, for all its raw power,cked that level of strategy and finesse. It relied too much on brute force and the overwhelming strgth of its elemt.


    "It''s not ev my match," us sighed, his tone calm as his speed suddly increased. In an instant, he appeared directly in front of the G Drake Lizard King. His sword shed forward, aiming for the monster''s neck. Just before the de tered its thick hide, it glowed a brilliant blue. With one swift motion, us buried the sword to its hilt in the monster''s neck.


    The beast''s eyes wided in shock for a brief momt, th turnedpletely , froz in ce. Its massive body trembled violtly, trying to resist the unnatural cold spreading through its veins. But it was toote. The ice had already tak hold, freezing its blood and locking its body in ce.


    The G Drake Lizard King, once full of life and ferocity, stoodpletely still, now lifeless.


    us stood beside the froz corpse for a few seconds, his expression unreadable. He calmly withdrew his sword, wiping it clean. No blood flowed from the wound—the ice had sealed itpletely. The towering monster, the Overlord of this region, was dead, its reign brought to an d.


    The onlookers, who had be filming the battle with their recording devices, stood froz in ce like statues. Their faces were pale with shock, unable toprehd what they had just witnessed. us ignored them for a momt, bding down to retrieve the monster''s core. He stored it away without a word, th finally turned to face the experts.


    They stood there like mannequins, still holding their devices, eyes wide with disbelief.


    "It''s dead," someone blurted out, breaking the silce. The voice snapped the others out of their daze. Slowly, they began to gather their sses, staring at the colossal, lifeless body of the G Drake Lizard King lying before them.


    "Wait... It''s him! The Pretty Boy!" another person eximed. Now that the fight was over and us stood visible in the op, everyone finally recognized him. He was the infamous "Pretty Boy" who had be causing an uproar on the intetely.


    Over the past few days, people had be scrambling to get a new image of him, but no matter how hard they tried, he always seemed to slip through their grasp.


    Just a day ago, a user by the name of @GoodBoyB posted a selfie with us, captioning it: "Big brother is in seclusion, so no one should bother looking for him." The post exploded, causing a storm online. Thousands of people, from curious fans to high-profilepanies, flooded @GoodBoyB''s direct messages, demanding to know us''s whereabouts.


    Brands and businesses wanted to sign deals with him, while people from all walks of life were desperate to learn more about the igmatic -haired youth. Because of the frzy, @GoodBoyB became an overnight ssation. Yet, despite the atttion and offers, he remained tight-lipped, refusing to share any more information about us.


    Th, just a dayter, another user, @Hi_Its_Me_Mandy, posted a thread filled with various selfies of her and us. In each photo, us was wearing the same clothes as he had in @GoodBoyB''s post. This stirred ev more chaos online, with people bing ev more desperate for any sight of him.


    Now, standing before them in the flesh is us, the Pretty Boy everyone has be looking for. They didn''t know how to behave. They just stood there looking at him with both shock and reverce.


    "Fuck, I am heading over," A youngdy with a bow on her back said walking toward us with shaky confidce


    "Brother..." She started to speak but she realized she didn''t know his name, nobody did.


    "us" us responded with a small smile making his name known to everyone now.
