Island God: Going From Level 1 To World Ruler-Chapter 75: New Body

***Author Note***

Hey! The main reason for this author note is to inform all of my readers of a recent technical error in my chaps.

You may have noticed the publishing hours recently have been all over the place. This is not because of a shortage of Chapters, so I’d like to clarify that firstly.

The reason why is because an informant told me that some Chapters may be published under a specific word count. After their immense verification and trust in their words, I decided to try it out.

But I have discovered that this "new rule" is not in place and that the word count for Chapters are still the normal amount.

Moving forward, all Chapters will be the same length as before (unless extra long).

Sorry for the delay and miscommunication. This disclaimer will be in all of the shortened Chapters.

To make up for it, there will be an extra Chapter release tomorrow!

Leon did not have a plan.

’I don’t have powers like him... I’m weaker. I’m slower.’ These were the only type of thoughts that raced through his mind.

Nothing saved him here. He actually began to age, his body growing several inches in height in only a couple of seconds.

As he reached the age of around eighteen, however, a different thought pattern began showing up in his head.

’This fucker... he wants to kill me? After all I’ve already been through!?’ Leon thought to himself, sudden rage developing within him, ’I’ll smash his skull in!’ An almost unfamiliar fury flashed over his pupils as his eyelids flew wide open.

His pupils flashed with a red energy. This time, they remained a rich, almost bloody red color.

The energy in his eyes rose up, like it was being pulled by a magnet. It grew into two transparent horns atop his head, like those of a demon.

Each horn was the height of his face. They were curved slightly and looked exactly like the horns of a devil.

From the ridges to the odd blemishes on them, they were no different than a devil’s horn. The only differentiating factor was the fact that they were translucent and bright red.

Leon swiped Yertos’s hand aside, pushing the nerdy young man back as he stumbled.

"W-what!?" Yertos exclaimed with confusion, forced to take a few steps backward. "How in the world!? You were supposed to age a hundred years! You aged way slower than anyone else I’ve ever encountered... how did you do it!?"

"Shut the hell up, you dork!" Leon exclaimed, "I’m not the same kid I was a second ago." He ground his fist against his palm in anger.

’T-thats right... he really isn’t a kid anymore.’ Yertos thought, eyeing the young man before him up and down.

Leon was now about 6’1ft (183cm) in height. He had broad shoulders, large arms, and legs the size of tree trunks.

His newfound muscles bulged out from the ripped ends of his clothes. His jawline was chiseled, his eyes narrow like those of a hunter.

’My Player ability: Age Control, allows me to change the age of any living thing. But along with the ability to age, anyone affected by my power also evolves in all other capacities. Now that this kid is an adult, he no longer has the mind of a child. He has the brain of a man, and also the development that would come along with it.’ Yertos thought to himself with slight dread.

He saw the horns on Leon’s head. They clearly weren’t normal.

’This guy has some sort of power... I knew it!’ Yertos exclaimed inwardly with worry.

’His mind will be shaped by whatever emotion he was overwhelmed by during the moment of his age transformation. I was sure that fear dominated his mind, but by the sound of it, he doesn’t seem fearful. His mind sounds enraged.’

"I don’t know what the hell you just did to me... but it seems I’ve grown older all of a sudden. So thanks for that, I guess." Leon said with a confident smirk. He walked forward without hesitation.

Yertos took another step backward, ’S-shit!’ He said inwardly with worry. ’My ability is extremely powerful, but only against those who can’t beat me in direct confrontational combat. I need to get out of here as soon as possible!’ He turned, attempting to run.

"Hold it right there!" Leon shouted, grabbing the back of Yertos’s collar, "Twerp..." His tone was low.

Yertos gasped as Leon grabbed him. Then, he abruptly turned, his hand flying toward Leon’s face.

’If I can’t run, I’ll just kill him quickly!’ He thought.

Leon’s eyes widened with surprise, his pupils zoning in on Yertos’s hand.

However, the hand seemed to be moving in slow motion for Leon.

He easily stepped out of the way of the attack. Without a second of delay, he clenched his fist and pummeled it deep into Yertos’s stomach.

"How dare... you try to kill me!" He shouted, his strength fueled by rage.

Yertos groaned with pain as all the air in his lungs was forced out of his body. His entire body went limp for a moment, nearly falling unconscious.

Just before he succumbed to the overwhelming feeling of exhaustion, however, he gathered the strength to move his arm once again.

Slowly, his land reached Leon’s thigh.

As it grazed a hair on Leon’s leg, the demonic-looking young man glanced down and noticed this sensation with full clarity.

"Hmph," Leon exclaimed. Despite his fist already being lodged into Yertos’s stomach, he pushed it even farther with another blast of strength.

Yertos’s back was blown open. A blast of red energy tore through his abdomen, exploding his organs from out of his lower back.

Leon’s eyes widened with shock, his tense eyebrows loosening.

’W-what!?’ He thought to himself, confused, ’What did I just do? I didn’t mean to...’

Yertos fell to the ground like a rag doll. He was instantly killed by the impact.
