Chapter 90 - Amazingly Fast Progress And...

I checked my status after leveling so much while we flew directly towards our destination while preparing for the monsters we\'ll meet.

…
I gained a nice and substantial amount of stats after so much leveling, the stat growth has increased a lot, so I get a sizable amount of power per level, which is more than nice.
Also, I gained another "+" in the S-Rank Existence Realm, meaning that I am already halfway through the next Realm! Is this what I would call leveling cultivation? Seeing how there are Realms and all, instead of just endless levels… Well, yeah, I suppose it is a good mix between Cultivation and LitRPG Novel elements. I liked to mix such tags the most usually, so I guess I am very familiar when all of this stuff came to real-life…
Hah… Though, this apocalypse really looks like an endless grind at this point, at the very least I got my Inner World to escape from reality, but still, there\'s work to do if I don\'t want everything to end. And well, I cannot get stuck with this level, I have to level up as fast as possible and as much as possible! Hence, I have to work very hard, nonstop hard work!
Ugh… For a neet that loved to write web novels, though, this change of pace is quite something!
Nonetheless, writing novels was also hard work by itself, especially because I was writing so many.
You see, I was really trying to get as much money as possible so I could retire comfortably… but then boom! The world is ending, apocalypse, monsters, aliens, dungeons… Ugh, all the fantasies I always dreamed of became real, but that also includes a bunch of hardworking, physical hardworking!
Good thing I seem to have been blessed with what we would call "OP MC".
Nonetheless, OP MC always get fucked over when they get cocky so the author can have a reason to develop their character, but this is why I am not going to get overconfident… well, not with things that can actually kill me, but against mobs of lower ranks… well, let\'s say I am going to get pretty wild there.
Though I have to admit it, I hate to fight battles I cannot win, so, I will prepare as much as I can and always target weaklings to grow stronger, if I always target stronger beings, I am bound to get killed.
Unless there is somewhat a life-changing opportunity by doing so… or I am desperate to survive…
Though, thanks to the powers of the Guardian of the Planet, there are some trump cards I could use… perhaps killing a strong guy using such conditions might work… What if I find something one or two realms bigger than me, but I suppress it and seal part of its power and then we blast him away? I know it has some cooldown, but this way we could slowly pick up those OP Celestials or the Aliens, or more, and slowly cheat my way up.
I can\'t imagine the amazing loot I could get by fucking killing those monsters… Could you imagine what I could get by killing a Celestial? Or that giant tentacle up there? No… I don\'t think I can really kill any of them even with my powers as a guardian, the gap is way too wide for me, I really need to first level up a lot and reach higher Realms!
But how? Well, by killing all these hundreds of mobs! Good thing the system aids me with rewards in tasks, and the summons also level up and can reach a certain level of power too, if we all work together… it could work, we could really save this entire fucked up scenario, somehow…
And then, Gaia emerges as her holographic figure.
"Guardian, there is a large signal of humans down below!"
"EH? But weren\'t they farther away?"
"I don\'t know… but these are definitely humans, they seem to be from another town which I thought had been completely destroyed… please, could you go see?" asked Gaia.
"Okay, let\'s go down!"
Everyone obeyed me as we reached down below, the surface this time was another giant forest, this time, it was mutated, however. The entire forest had undergone some changes I didn\'t expect, and it became those forests you see in fantasy novels or comics where elves would live, the trees were gigantic, reaching high in the skies, and blocking the sun quite easily. It was really quite shocking…
And then, we saw several figures down below, humanoid figures fighting giant monsters, they were somehow… defeating them?!
"Humans… more humans, at last, Master!" said Kireina.
"Indeed… But they seem weird, since when have humans had animal features?" asked Katrina.
"Eh? Beast-kin?" asked Ervas.
"Wait, what?!"
We reached down below and what we found were… a large group of dozens of humans with many animal characteristics using powers against the beasts, they seemed to be working as a group!
What happened with these people?
