A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

While still contemplating how to use the golden dice that continued to emit light, Canien, who had discovered him, chuckled as if surprised.

“Hehehe! It’s you guys? How are you still alive? You should’ve been hit by my attacks twice!”

“Well… there’s nothing we can do. Rieka, come here.”

As Rieka, who had briefly emerged, was placed back into the pocket, the notification sounded again.

[Please choose one of the following abilities to enhance: Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intelligence]

“…Alright, I’ll choose Strength.”

Without knowing the exact effects, he selected Strength, hoping that the high number rolled would be beneficial.

[You have chosen Strength. Strength stat x dice roll (5) applied, duration 5 minutes, cooldown 500 hours]

“What?”

[Wow! Kaiyan, your Strength stat has really increased fivefold!]

As Rieka attempted to check the status window, an unprecedented surge of power coursed through his entire body.

The strength was so immense that he felt he could turn a Minotaur into dust with a single blow. Despite the absurd cooldown of 500 hours, it was an unbelievable ability.

“Is this for real? My Strength stat has actually increased by five times. Status window.”

Name: Kaiyan / Age: 15 / Occupation: Player / Title: Predator of the Forest

Level: 74 / Strength: 80(x5) / Agility: 52 / Stamina: 42 / Intelligence: 10 / Allocation: 2

The number 5 attached to Strength was real. His strength had truly increased by fivefold, even if it was only for 5 minutes.

As he raised his fist, he could clearly see his muscles writhing uncontrollably under the influence of the overflowing power.

“…If a certain someone is witnessing this situation, I’ll have to apologize for the curses I muttered earlier.”

The being of unknown origin had given him such a valuable item. If these were the effects of the skills he had received from it, they must be extraordinary as well.

‘If it’s not just multiplication, but also…’

Kuung! Kuung!

“Hahaha! What are you doing? Have you lost your mind out of fear?”

Canien approached with a massive vibration, but Kaiyan couldn’t hear his words amidst the overwhelming joy inside.

With his current Strength stat, he possessed a staggering numerical value of 400, even if it lasted only for 5 minutes. This was an incredible attribute that could not be achieved even if he reached level 299, unless he focused exclusively on Strength.

In terms of a combat style centered around Strength, he could display combat power at least three times greater, if not more.

“It’s a shame there’s no sword… but with this much, even my fists will do.”

His sword, which had accompanied him through numerous battlefields, had been shattered by Canien’s attack, rendering him unable to use sword techniques. However, with the overflowing strength, he confidently faced Canien, taking a step forward.

Perhaps displeased with his appearance, Canien raised several tentacles into the sky.

“Hehehe! I’m going to finish you off completely this time! If you manage to survive again, I’ll keep stomping on you!”

[Kaiyan, come on!]

Three massive tentacles lunged through the air, cutting through the wind. Having been struck by those tentacles twice before, Kaiyan knew the incredible destructive power they possessed. Even with his strength increased fivefold, it would be unwise to confront them recklessly. However…

“That’s just when it’s five times! Activate Aura!”

As Aura was activated, the already surging power seemed to rise even higher.

Thanks to his advanced combat training and learning high-level Aura Manual, Kaiyan’s power now allowed him to reach a staggering percentage.

“1500 percent!”

For a little over four minutes, he could exert over 1000 points in Strength Stat.

This was not a simple 80-point increase at 1500 percent. The increase in power was on a completely different level, incomparable in scale.

After closing his eyes briefly to savor the surge of power coursing through his entire body, he heard Canien’s scream pierce through.

Ding! [Power level surpasses 1000! The limit-breaking reward will be sent to the inventory.]

Ding! [You have obtained a title.]

– Unbelievable Might

Ding! [Unyielding Power skill has been created.]

With a smile on his face as continuous notifications rang out, he stared fearlessly at the approaching black tentacles.

“It seems like it’s worth trying this time. Here goes!”

He firmly planted his legs on the ground and pulled his right hand back, clenching it into a fist.

Kwaaaaaah!

As the overwhelming power surged through his entire body, his fist began to gather strength slowly. After a moment, when his clenched fist was filled with as much power as it could hold, he thrust it forward, directly towards the oncoming black tentacles.

Paaaah!

It sounded like dozens of thunderclaps were erupting right in front of him.

“Ahhhh!”

“Ugh… Is this… just a punch?”

Instinctively, he clenched his fist and extended it, but he couldn’t find the right words to describe what had just happened.

Upon impact, the black tentacle disintegrated into pieces, turning into dust and scattering, while the debris from the building that had been between Canien and Kaiyan was swept away by the shockwave, flying a distance of over 100 meters.

It was an unimaginable situation for a single punch.

“…Kaiyan, this seems insane!”

That unknown entity that had given him this incredible power.

If it were witnessing the world through him now, Kaiyan felt like he wanted to bow his head. It had given him this incredible power after just one encounter.

Perhaps that entity was not a god but a player who had granted him this power?

“Kwaaaaaah! You… you! Die! Die!”

As he alternated between staring at one fist and the other, lost in thought, Canien, still in agony, let out a scream and sent dozens of tentacles flying.

Thanks to the increased power, he had some confidence, but he never expected Canien to take such a massive blow from a single punch.

When he was on the receiving end of Canien’s ridicule and the tentacles were swinging playfully, he felt the same emotions he had felt when he had been helpless against him.

“I can do it. I can!”

As confidence surged dramatically, so did his anger.

The feeling he had when he was helplessly defeated by him, the feeling when he was ridiculed and toyed with as the tentacles swung.
