As Corey looked at his status window he was gobsmacked, like literally gobsmacked. He had no words to say when he saw the huge increase in his strength and constitution.

As Corey was wondering why he had such a huge increase in his strength and constitution, he saw the system's remark.

Ignoring the system's snarky remark, focused on the meaning of what the system was telling him.

"So what I was feeling previously was mana?"

Corey muttered as he read the system's remark once again. Seeing that the reason he could not completely get that feeling was because he was weak made him wonder when he would be strong enough.

Another thing he noticed which has been bothering him for quite some time now was that his intelligence did not increase once again.

Ever since he reached level 29 and his intelligence reached 300, it did not increase no matter what.

He tried adding a free attribute point to it but he got a warning from the Universal System telling him should he do it, that he had a 98% chance of dying which shocked and scared the shit out of him.

He asked the Universal System why, but since the Universal System was a useless system, it didn't respond to him, leaving Corey to be extremely worried about his life.

Now that he saw his stagnating intelligence even after absorbing the soul stone of a black smiley, he was beginning to get worried that his intelligence would be forever stagnated.

"Should my intelligence really be stagnating even though my talent is omniscience?"

Corey muttered then remembered the merchant iiuminox told him about. He had questions he needed answers to and hopefully the merchant had answers to those questions.

"Guess I'm going to the merchant."

Corey stood then walked to the broken window of the room. He looked down to make sure it was safe, seeing no Smiley or danger, he jumped down and ran back to his hideout.

Although he wanted to meet the merchant as quickly as possible, he needed to do something first.

Gain more combat experience

Corey did not believe that he didn't need more combat experience just because he could fight lots and lots of A.I controlled Smileys.

In fact he would be a total fool if he thought he didn't need anymore combat experience with just that.

Right now to Corey, his biggest gain in the battle between The Big Five and the group of Smileys was not the soul stone of the black smiley but the Records of all three black smileys and even the Records of The Big Five.

He didn't care how long he would spend to gain enough combat experience but he was not going to meet the merchant until his combat experience increased by leaps and bounds or something forced him to stop.

Corey's eyes shined and his heart began to beat faster thinking of the improvement he would gain, so he increased his speed, not knowing that he was slowly turning to a battle maniac or to be more specific, one that enjoys growing stronger.

ROARRR!!!

Bang!

"Shut the fuck up for fucks sake. Why do you all just like to roar every time. Can't you speak words?"

ROARR!!

Bang!

"Words. Repeat after me. W-O-R-D-S. WORDS. Speak words, don't roar."

ROARR!!

Bang!

"Oh forget it. You're just stupid like the Universal System."

Just as you may be wondering who would be having such a weird conversation with a monster like that?

Who else would it be if not Corey.

Corey in his tattered ghost cloak stood a few meters away from shockingly, a black smiley with a battle axe.

One would ask, how come Corey was talking while in combat?

After promising himself that he would not talk like how those third rate villains do in combat.

Especially when he was in combat with a monster whose stats and level were way higher than his?

Well, it was because Corey learnt another lesson in the past three days.

Dying one too many times, could make a person run mental.

Especially when you died to the same thing over and over again.

Corey in The Library Of Records, has tried to fight against the three black smileys the group of five faced but he obviously lost since their stats were way higher than his.

He could accept that but what he could not accept was that no matter how much he tried, no matter how many strategies he used, he could not defeat The Founder, even once.

ONCE!!

Whenever Corey had a chance to defeat The Founder, the annoying guy would bring out a fucking gold coin, absorb it and fucking kill him.

If a gold coin was not enough, he would absorb two and Corey had zero chance against that.

It was frustrating to the point that Corey legit almost died out of anger in The Library Of Records.

After realizing he would gain nothing from fighting The Founder, Corey fought Zelanous and honestly, that was the fight where Corey gained a lot of combat experience.

Zelanous was extremely proficient in the sword. You would think Zelanous as a knight would be more like a tank but nope, Zelanous was more like a swordsman, a very talented swordsman.

Corey had a hard time defeating him but he gained a lot and he believed his dagger wielding skills had certainly improved, at least to a point.

Now after spending three days doing nothing but eating, fighting and dying in The Library Of Records, Corey started to feel like his mental health was slowly deteriorating so he decided to come out and look for the merchant instead.

He didn't expect to meet a black smiley on his way to the merchant but he was happy, in fact very happy.

He felt he could transfer a lot of his pent up anger and frustration unto the black smiley, and let's just say he had been doing so.

If one looked at the black smiley's body, they would see dagger cuts on various parts of the body, especially the back.

"Alright let's finish this. I have somewhere to be.

It was nice talking to you.

You really helped me so thank you and goodbye."

After Corey finished speaking his nonsensical words, he ran to the Axe Black Smiley.

The Axe Black Smiley roared in anger and ran towards Corey while raising up it's axe, wanting to cut the annoying ant in front of it into two.

Corey who was running, threw Smile Reaper with frightening accuracy at the eye of the black smiley, and the black smiley not expecting that since Corey never did that throughout their fight, was not able to react.

ROAARRRR!!!

The Black Smiley roared in pain as Smile Reaper pierced inside his eye causing Corey to frown.

"Too noisy."

Corey said then flicked his wrist. Smile Reaper which was embedded in the black smiley's eye flew out drawing out blood.

Corey who was still running towards the black smiley caught Smile Reaper which had a string attached to it.

Just as he got close to black smiley, the black smiley resisting the pain it was going through held it's axe with two hands and slashed it down towards the incoming Corey.

Surprise flashed in Corey's eyes seeing that but been no longer a novice in combat, he did not panic and did what he thought was best.

He stopped and jumped back.

Bang!!

Stones and dust scattered all around as the ground where the axe of the black smiley got destroyed.

Corey seeing that realized that not trying to parry or block the attack was a very good decision on his part, but despite that, what Corey saw was a chance in his eyes.

'Super jump.'

Corey used the skill Super Jump, not to it's full extent though, and jumped towards the black smiley.

The Black Smiley seeing Corey jump towards it grabbed his axe and wanted to slash at Corey.

Corey seeing that quickly threw Smile Reaper towards the last good eye of the black smiley.

The Black Smiley seeing the incoming dagger tried to move it's head but just as it did, Corey turned his wrist and due to his superhuman dexterity, he was able to control the string attached to Smile Reaper causing it to swerve and pierce the last good eye of the black smiley.

ROARRR!!!!

The Black Smiley roared in pain and Corey still in the air landed on the shoulders of the towering black smiley.

Grabbing smile reaper from it's eye, he spoke.

"I said you're making too much noise."

Spurt

Corey stabbed the head of the black smiley causing it to fall and Corey to jump away and land some centimeters away from it.

Corey sighed after seeing the black smiley not make any sudden movement, then he moved towards the black smiley, wanting to remove it's soul stone.

But just as he did, he heard a sound.

Clap

Clap

Clap

"Wonderful. Truly magnificent fighting skills. What is your name young boy?"

Corey turned back instantly while gripping Smile Reaper horizontally in front of his face.

He looked for where the sound came from but he didn't see anybody or anything.

Just as he was wondering if he had finally gone crazy, he heard the same voice again.

"I'm up here boy."

Corey looked up and saw a man with white hair and neck chain sitting on the roof of a building nearby.

"Who are you?" Corey asked with a cold and wary tone.

"Me? I'm The Merchant." The man with white hair grinned and the blew around him causing his pendant to blow along with it.
