I see the system panel of Mark Leeway displayed in front of me and yawn a bit before creating a steel sword in my right arm. If I need to survive fighting against him at my current power, I need to make sure I understand which system he is using.

'Luckily, the database had all the systems which this guy had ever copied or seen… though that only makes him all the more dangerous,' I think as I take a deep breath and then speak,

"Unlock the Black Shadow System and Dark Mana Type."

-Clang

I see him lashing towards me as soon as I finish my words and I immediately move to block his shadow sword with my steel one. Currently, there are four major systems, one of which is most likely the one which Mark Leeway is using.

The Black Shadow System

The Poison God's Heritage System

Cure of All Healer God's System

Resurrection System

While the first one has the ability to use shadows by manipulating it in different ways, the others show his desperation in trying to save his daughter. Despite being one of the potential strongest men in this world, in front of the curse through which his daughter is suffering, he couldn't be more ordinary than he already was.

'Blood Sacrifice: First Moon,' I chanted as blood fills my skin and my speed and strength increases and I began countering his attacks

-Clang

-Clang

"[Shadow Creation: One Plane]" he spoke, and the ground turned all black and immediately he vanished from my front and the next thing I found was myself dead…

Before I gain my consciousness back as I get resurrected at a distance away from him. I blink with a slightly shocked expression as I observe his move… he created a thousand shadow swords not just from below me but also above and all around me, leaving me no space to run away.

I look at his emotionless face and once again begin moving towards him, this time with a different approach as I exchange my sword with a bow and arrow. While I am more proficient with my sword, it would be better if I used a more ranged weapon.

"Begin,"

-Swish

I sense him behind me and I jump up and he raises his sword, creating a cloud of shadows and not even after a moment, a rain of black shadows begins pouring down on me. Before I could even aim, the rain touched me and then… I die.

I get resurrected at a distance and then I crack my fingers before I move towards him again, with my bow and arrow.

"Begin."

This time, I ran towards him and let him attack me, but before he could reach to attack; I moved behind him using a flash step, making him jump a few steps ahead as once again the black plane forms and, not caring about my life; I shot the already aimed arrow at him. Then… I die.

I resurrect, only to find that the Mark Leeway I just killed was a shadow, and I look around to see the real Mark Leeway in the air at a distance.

Once again… I take a step towards him… and speak "Begin."

While I know that the difference between an SS-Class and my current max power of A-Class is incomparable, I still need to find a way out of this loop. I need to know all his moves and find ways to counter them.

While I know that I might not even need to fight against Mark Leeway, I still need to make sure that I don't die. Earlier I was planning to use some deals and ways to make sure he doesn't attack me along with extra back up plans like emergency teleportation stuff. Heck, I even managed to get William along with me with some stroke of luck… but if I could add another layer of protection, then why the heck not?

I die again and then I start again, this time with a certain artefact which helped me increase my mana momentarily. It helped me last a few seconds more.

Mark Leeway… used to be a kind man before his own friends and his late brother tried selling him to his enemy in exchange for power and money. While they themselves could not control him, they took help from other people and even used some of his other family members to wrong him.

When that did not work either, they sold his only daughter to the organisation as a bait… however, that was a mistake. Mark Leeway used his newly found power to wipe out the entire organisation by himself. He was dubbed as a monster from that moment.

To take control of him, another SS-Class, hidden from this world, moved and then used his special powers to stop his growth. He was going to kill Mark Leeway, but when he found out the complete truth, he was utterly shocked and he wondered if what he did with Mark Leeway was right or wrong. Though it was too late, since the curse had already been placed.

Things took a turn for worse, when it was found out that Mark Leeway's daughter, Bernette Leeway, was suffering from a disease that is unknown to this world. In anger, Mark Leeway set out on a rampage, killing hundreds of people and monsters alike; he became more like a monster than the ones he killed. When he finally came back to his senses, he kept crying for weeks in regret before he stood up and was determined to find a cure for his daughter.

But fate was cruel because the disease through which Bernette was suffering was from outer space. It was one of the diseases which the parasites brought into Planet Vermillion. Yeah… the parasites, even though they attacked during the second Cataclysm, had started to leave their traces at a very miniscule level on Planet Vermillion for a long time.

During the first Cataclysm, Bernette died a very painful death in front of his father who was killed by the Half-Elf King in a different country. It was a painful story that sent chills down to generations and also fanned the flames of hatred of humans against the half-elves.

"Begin." once again I speak and run towards him with my bow and arrow intact. This time I am using light magic instead of shadow ones. While being more proficient in Shadow Magic, I could control even Mark Leeway's shadows to some extent, it wasn't really helping.

-Clang

-Clang

This time, he blocked my arrows and took a few steps back. I see the plane turning black again and I fill my feet with Light magic, erasing the shadow and then… I die from the attack from the other side.

"I lasted a bit longer than before," I said as I looked at Elle, who was observing me with a slightly sad look on her face along with the kid who was awake now. I see their tear-filled eyes as they read my thoughts. I sigh before turning towards the emotionless clone of Mark Leeway.

Those experiments which were done in the facility on humans and other races were mostly because of his desperation to find a way to cure his daughter. He had been termed as an inhuman animal who will do anything to achieve his goal. He wouldn't care who you are as long as he thinks he may achieve his goal using you.

If he thinks that killing you is going to bring his daughter's health back to normal… you are as good as dead.

-Sigh

I sigh before speaking again,"Begin," and then once again dash towards him as I narrowly dodge his attacks. I must find a way to make sure I survive more than just a few minutes against his attacks using the skills I have in my arsenal currently.

After this, I also need to make sure I fight against the rest of the family members of Mark Leeway and then finally fight against all of them one by one. Since we are at it… we might as well go all out on this one.

And thus began my struggles of training for a fight, which if took place, I am not supposed to survive.
