Why are they here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex already knew, and he stood still, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of the group was a tall, imposing figure with a staff in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His robes were embroidered with the emblem of the Overlord Guild—a skull with empty eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello there, merchant,\" Daniel, the leader of the guild, sneered as he approached, \"I heard you shot one of my guild members yesterday. Is that true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex smiled beneath his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're talking about the thief, then sure, I did. Very easy to kill, by the way. If that's all your guild can do, I don't have much to worry about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel's face twisted with fury at the insult. His grip tightened on his staff, \"You're going to regret that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel was always someone with an immense EGO, and in Alex's past life, he had become an extremely powerful mage thanks to his talents, hard work, and of course, money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was surprised to see him so early, but he couldn't have known that the thief was a member of his guild, and even if he knew, he would have still shot anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, Daniel barked an order to his guild members, \"Kill him! All of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of players rushed forward, swords drawn and spells ready to cast, but Alex didn't move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers twitched as he lifted his staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire Storm,\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A swirling vortex of flames erupted from his staff, and in an instant, the storm of fire engulfed the advancing players. They didn't stand a chance—blue flashes marked each of their deaths as their health bars instantly drained to zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mere seconds, over a 83 players had been reduced to nothing, their bodies disappearing as the fire storm burned them alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What… what the hell?!\" Daniel stammered, stepping back, the flames reflecting in his wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few of his members had survived, those who had been standing farther back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?!\" Daniel roared at his remaining men, \"It's one versus a hundred! He's on cooldown!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Sir! Y-Yes, sir!\" the remaining members stuttered, terrified but obedient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rushed forward, casting spells and swinging their weapons at Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With swift, calculated movements, he began to cast more spells, launching fireballs and rocks toward his attackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some fell before they even got close, and the ones who attempted to fight him in close range were immediately hit by his golden staff, dealing good damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Since when can a mage do that?!' they all thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one final swing of his staff, Alex dispatched the last of the guild members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fell to the ground, lifeless, leaving only Daniel standing in the square, his fury boiling over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood in silence, facing each other—a standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you're clever, don't you?\" Daniel sneered, \"But I have the best fireball in Universal Descent. You're dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his wrist, Daniel cast a massive fireball, hurling it toward Alex with deadly precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his staff, and with a calm, measured motion, he launched his own fireball in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two projectiles met in mid-air—but Alex's was stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It tore through Daniel's spell, continuing on its path and slamming into the guild leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-1430!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel's body crumpled as the fireball consumed him, his health dropping to zero in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his form faded away, he could just make out the sight of Alex, standing tall, lifting his mask to reveal a massive grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you in an hour, idiot,\" Alex muttered as Daniel's body disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-03T12:12:46.833Z","2026-06-03T12:12:54.874Z",1,"novelbin.me","5b3b1900dac8d4d60f5abe16ae81ab71ecd1885494104aa5bd58aaf3e57041a0","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-19","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-17",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
