Reincarnated Hero System

[And you say you're not suicidal?]

Hearing Artemisia's voice directly in his head startled Evan and made him almost trip and fall.

He managed to regain his balance and continue sprinting through the lower floors of the dungeon while screaming at the goddess internally.

The Tower of Avarice was unlike normal dungeons where the monsters were stronger the deeper the floor was.

Here, it was the opposite.

As one went to higher floors of the tower, they encountered stronger monsters.

There were various spiral-shaped staircases at multiple parts of each floor that led to the next floor, with Evan blitzing across the stairs so fast that he appeared to be a flash of golden light to the weaker adventurers.

"My name is Evan Bourne, and I am the fa-!"

[Shut the fuck up.]

Once again, Artemisia spoke directly into his head to shut him up, which sadly did nothing to deter the young hero from his copyright-infringing actions as he went on to rip off the lines of a few other comic speedster heroes and villains while running to the fortieth floor.

There, he was met with a stocky broad-chested and large-shouldered creature, one with a hairless face and human-like hands and stood at more than five metres tall.

"High Five!"

Evan screamed out as he jumped and slammed his palm coated in golden lightning towards the head of a giant gorilla-looking monster, only to suddenly blink away from the monster's face and reappear beside its legs.

"Down low!"

The creature roared and waved its large arm that was thicker than Evan's entire body, however, the young hero blinked out of the way once more, appearing above its head and whacking the side of its head with his palm.

"Too slow!"

Despite his small build, Evan was a level 204 existence, one who had multiple stat boosts and increased stat efficiency, so the strength behind his palm was nothing to scoff at.

Even the level 215 Gorilla had to be wary of him despite its higher level.

Evan then placed his feet on the gorilla's shoulder and called the unforged into his hands, just in time for the creature to reorient itself and throw a punch towards Evan.

Obviously, the young hero had no intentions of getting hit by the fist with 'B-' strength, having learned his lesson from fighting against Terence.

Right before the Gorilla's fist slammed into his body, his eyes flashed with a golden light and his hands moved at a speed that even a level 180 would be barely able to see.

"GROOOOAAARRRRR!!!!"

The next thing that sounded was the Gorilla's cry of pain as its entire arm dropped to the ground, with bright red flames burning both the severed arm and the stump that was left.

Evan jumped off the creature's body as it began trashing around in pain, his eyes narrowing at its neck as he created a foothold in the air with ice and kicked off it, boosting himself towards the creature at high speed.

**SWISH!

*PLOP!

By the time Evan's feet touched the ground, the Gorilla was already dead, with its severed head landing on the floor right afterwards.

[Level Up]

"205 now, huh?"

Evan opened up his status board and studied the new class he had recently gained as he posed a question to the goddess.

"The Magic Swordsman class had class benefits for when fighting with a sword and with magic, so why could I not see them in that list of boosts you gave me?"

[The goddess 'Artemisia' states that she felt no reason to add them.]

Seeing all his stat bonuses and boosts once again brought the reality that he was 'broken' to Evan.

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says you should think about how much of a cheat you are later and focus on the imminent threat.]

"I know."

As he spoke, he picked his sword up from the ground and turned around just in time to see the incoming projectile attack, repelling it with his sword and gazing at the attacker.

"You should change that to a plural, Narrator."

Evan gazed at the Extended family of Gorillas glaring at him with bloodshot eyes, with at least five of them holding staves, signifying their roles as mages, while the remaining 20+ that struggled to fit in the large hallway all held various weapons ranging from clubs to large great swords.

"I'm guessing the one I killed was the youngest in the family, and now the rest of the family is here for revenge."

[The goddess 'Artemisia' applauds your correct guess.]

Evan's brow twitched when he saw that notification, but he had no mind to pay it any more attention as the Gorillas had no intention of getting into a staring contest with the one that killed their family member.

Water and lightning arrows shot through the air, causing the boy to blink out of the way to avoid the unnaturally fast projectiles.

He jumped back onto the corpse of the gorilla behind him, an action that enraged the gorilla's family.

"Now then, the quests I took pertain to the monsters on the fiftieth to sixtieth floors, I can't get held up on the fortieth now, can I?"
