Raith's eyes widened, without further ado he knew what to do.

Greed. The skills looked like his skills devour but devour was more uncertain and randomly activates, and devour takes the soul. With this skill, he would be able to take people's stat and skill but what interested him the most was that he would be able to interfere with the abyssal system.

Sure, Raith didn't know how that would turn out but the sound of it alone was enticing, but anything to fuck up the abyss would be a delight to Raith who has suffered much.

Raith grinned.

"Greed"

[You have chosen skill, 'Greed']

[Skills that will be used to exchange this skill will be calculated and selected]

'Wait! selected? I thought I would do the choosing'

[Ego Save(SSS) + Way Of The Sword(SSS)]

"Eh?!!" Raith shouted out loud.

'No no no no no, that is too big of a surprise, it took my class skill and way of the sword?! Ah no, I am not going to do that. No thanks!]

[Do you want to refuse Exchange Y/N]

Raith looked at the black tab with twitching eyes, he wanted to cry if it would make the abyss give him back that skill.

He didn't know what the skill [Greed] meant or even if it'd be useful for him but the fact that it'd make him able to interfere with the abyss was a nice one and it was a skill with the highest grade: UEX, even [Devour] is EX.

As much as he didn't want to collect the skill, he was trapped in the dilemma of what he would be losing.

'...this might be my only chance to have a weapon that can go against the abyss' He thought to himself as he dropped his head in sorrow.

There were a lot of questions in his head about why a skill like this would even pop up but he gave thought to none of them. What matter to him right now was that he would be losing how effectively he used to fight.

"Damnit..."

[Do you want to refuse Exchange? Y/N]

The message was repeated before his eyes again.

"No..." Raith responded with a dead tone.

[Do you want to give 'Ego Save' and 'Way Of The Sword' in exchange for 'Greed']

Raith looked at the tab with teary eyes and looked down again, his voice quaked as he responded, "...yes"

[Exchanging skills]

[You have gained skill 'Greed']

[You have gained a rulers skill]

[Your true name is revealing itself]

[^$^#_##&@>÷*=&=>@&@]

[Forcing a name block]

[Due to your heritage, there will be a status update]

[^$^#^#^#^÷^##^÷^]

[Status update paused and delayed]

"Uh? What is this... If I get this very well, it is as though the abyss is forcibly stopping something that is supposed to be happening. And what does it even mean due to my heritage...?"

Raith opened his status window and scrolled down, inspecting it once more, the part of skill [Greed] that should be written in a white font was written with a red font.

"Is this bad news? Did I end up wasting my skills..." Raith wondered aloud and stood up. He shook his head in an attempt to throw away all other thoughts and focused on what mattered.

"I should go save those guys..."

***

"Are we going to be fine... these guys look like they are going to have us for dinner?" Shin pressed his lips.

"Hunter Raven will come for us," Ga-Yun assured him, hugging him tightly. The

"Are you sure?" He raised his head at Ga-Yun who sounded so sure.

"Yes, I am."

"What if he died for real..."

"Eh, don't think like that..." She said with a twitch on the corner of her mouth, even though she was saying that– it might be true.

Below them was a tribe of red elves who danced around like Native American Indians and were even dressed as such except for their warriors that were donned in fine armor and exquisite weapons.

The prison was a net weaved with vines, hanging down from the towering trees, the environment that they were in was a different place from the mountain plains and was very much still within the gate, this gave Mok Jae-Hwa a true idea of how vast an S rank truly is.

So far, they've met three different monster kinds inside the same gate. This had never happened before, not even in the S rank gate Mok Jae-Hwa went to before.

The red elf that jumped down from before walked around tending to everyone, from where they are they could see it and it was obvious that this dude was the most important person in the tribe, although there was a tribe leader.

Their homes were entwined amidst the towering trees and were connected by winding staircases, bridges, and platforms. Constructed from wood, and stones, woven with vines, and covered in moss and flowers, making they blend seamlessly with their surroundings.

Raith covered himself in the mud and leaves of the surroundings, perfectly blending himself into their surrounding. For some reason, the sky above them was dark when it should be crimson but Raith had less time to worry about that.

He looked around carefully before moving from one tree to another.

"I am going to do this in the most sneaky way because I don't have the strength to fight anyone. Not even after [Way Of The Sword] has been taken from me." He mumbled as he crawled to another tree.

"Mama mama, tu je čovjek prekriven žbunjem(Mama mama, there is a man covered in bush)" A baby elf with a big belly pointed down from the staircase of the wooden house that was built above the tree he was hiding behind.

"Šta govoriš Mahtan, vrati se ovamo.(What are you saying Mahtan, come back here.)"

eαglesnovel`c,om "Heik..." Raith immediately ran from the tree he was at to another tree in order to avoid being seen instead of staying still such that the mother of the elven child wouldn't have suspected anything.

His movements were so large and obvious and it was as if he was begging to be seen.

"Hah!! There's an intruder!! An Intruder!!!" The woman shouted. Immediately another resident picked it up and shouted, then another picked it and in no time, the whole forest was screaming and a large bell was ringing, all the doors of the tree houses were open and everyone was with fire touch trying to figure out where the intruder was.

Raith ran helter-skelter trying to dodge them and was probably finding another way to get to the prison that held his team– his first mistake was thinking there was a way that led to prison.

And like he was looking for, he suddenly came across a door covered with intersected vines almost hidden away from sight.

"Ah, found it!" The stupid guy smiled and rushed at it with all his might.

"Black Armour!"

Gbam!!

He slammed himself into the door, breaking into it forcefully and falling into the dark narrow hall, where he could see nothing of what was ahead of him.

Creak..creak...

He sharply stood up and turned back, the little ray of light that was seeping in because of the broken stone door, immediately disappeared. The door had remolded and been made whole by nothing. And Raith was now immersed in total darkness.

"Eh? Did I have it wrong the whole time?"

"Uh, A mortal dares to enter here; a place of my confinement..."

Raith froze as he heard the vibrating voice– when it spoke the entire ground beneath him shook in symphony with how it talked.

"Ha...ha...ha...ha...ha..." Raith laughed lamely, this was the end for him.
