The Silence was prevalent as Issei descended into the dungeon, a typical fantasy dungeon; stone walls, torches every few feet and a general medieval feel to it. it was a Level 5 Dungeon, so it shouldn't be too hard but well Murphy's Law was a thing and Issei didn't want to tempt it.
A shuddering breath leaves his lips, the 'Gamer God' did not make him immortal, just harder to kill and he had no weapons, feeling that it was wrong to have them for some reason. His heighted awareness due to fear saves his life, something jumps out of the shadows and attacks him "Thank God this isn't turn based" he says to himself as he punches his attacker {Scan} kicking in and revealing that his opponent is a {Rat-Thing Scout} Lvl: 5 with 50HP, not to difficult, but when he used {Observer} it was less than 5 times his stats but it had a {Calling Howl} ability that SHIIIIIIIIII! What was once 1 was now 10 and quickly growing.
Duck, weave, jab, hock, uppercut 1 down, Knee Dash, Power Straight 2 more follow, Dragon Strike and another 1, Dragon Strike and another 1, Dragon Strike and another 1 and finally Issei is by himself again after 2 hours and 50 monsters, panting in exertion; a blue screen pops up: Congratulation's you have level up. Congratulation's you have completed a Challenge. Congratulation's the following Skills have Level up. Congratulation's you have Found these items. Through a Special Action you have created the Skill {Regeneration}.
Following his Level up he was shocked to learn that his level went from 5 to 10 though "Huh, guess the enemies and Challenge were enough for 5 levels" Issei murmured, his status is now:
{Issei Hyoudou Lvl: 10 - The Gamer}
EXP to next level = 4000
Stats:
HP = (10/10) 350/500
STP = (10/10) 300/500
AP = (10/10) 345/450
STR - 35
INT - 45
WIS - 45
VIT - 50
END - 50
SPE - 35
DEX - 35
LUK - ? (Must unlock [Blank] to see this Stat)
CHA - ? (Must unlock [Blank] to see this Stat)
He now had 5 stat points to use and his summery still hadn't changed, he was getting a little annoyed by that now but whatever. "I'll keep those stat points for later, when I can do more with them" Issei reasoned to himself.
Next he followed the two Challenges, turns out the first one was {Trigger Calling Howl and Survive} which sounded more like an achievement but he wasn't going to argue with it, still that had provided about 5000EXP on top of the {Defeat Your First Mob} which granted another 5000EXP. With the 2500EXP he got form all the monsters he defeated; that was apparently enough for 5 levels.
Now he followed the Skill he created, it was a Passive skill called {Regeneration} this meant that he was regenerating his Health, Action and Stamina Points as time went by; specially since it was only level 10, 5 points per minute, not the best but still better than nothing.
Following the Skills that had levelled up, he was shocked to see that his Martial Arts, Parkour and Observe skills had levelled by 5 levels a piece, meaning Martial Arts and Parkour were now 15 and Observe was 45. For martial arts he had 2 new skills, {Ground Pound} and {Takedown} a knock back and submission respectively, no other sub skills unfortunately.
Finally he looked at his loot, it was all pretty standard stuff; bronze dagger X3, knife X4, a basic bow X2, loincloth X50, Rat fur X50, 400Yen, Gold Bar X50 and a map called {RAT-THING DEN MARKER} which was quite convenient as he could now see the number of enemies left (50), as well as all the rooms. A grin formed on his lips, that meant secret hunting was now an option cuz he could see the secrets on the map.
Selling all but the Yen and Map Left Issei with a solid 22395Yen and a map of the place, looking around he found a book called {Light & Dark: the Beginners guide to wielding them} (You do not have the required gauge to learn this skill), a Scroll detailing the rat things, a couple of Bronze Swords and a Book called {Weapon Manipulation}. Checking the map shows that he has finished the secret hunt and his status shows he is back to full Health, Action & stamina points, time to clear the rest of the Dungeon.
"I'd never though that I would say this at all but 'thank Christ for no respawning enemies'.... Still feels really weird though" Issei mused aloud, he was waiting for a {Rat-Thing Scout} to show up, paying close attention to the shadows of the room, he noticed a silhouette before a {Rat-Thing Warrior} leaped out at him.
[Dragon Strike] triggered and promptly destroyed it, a blue screen popped into existence in front of him, Through a Special Action you have created the Skill {Detect}. "Huh, that'll be useful" he thought, it had a passive skill called {Awareness} allowing him to notice things in his surrounding easier and an active skill call {Search}.
Curious as to what {Search} would show he went back to the start of the dungeon and proceeded to blow through the rest of his AP but he found: standard; AP, HP & Stamina Potions X10, bronze dagger X5 (120Yen), knife X5 (420Yen), loincloth X50 (500Yen), Gold Bar X25 (1925Yen) & Skeleton X 10 (?Yen). blinking as he saw that items he had already seen the price to showed how much he would make form selling them, that a was a very useful feature.
Selling all but the Standard potions off meaning he now has 27710Yen, 20 Heath and Stamina Potions with 19 AP potions. His {Detect} skill had level up to 5 now and he saw a {Rat-Thing Scout}, cracking his neck and Knuckles he went to work.
Duck, weave, back step, side step, jab, hock, uppercut 1 down, Knee Dash, Power Straight 2 more follow, Power Straight and another 1, Power Straight and another 1, Knee Dash to dodge, Ground Pound for a knock back, Dragon Strike and another 1 down, Dragon Strike and another 1, Dragon Strike and another 1 and Issei falls into a rhythm of Dragon Strikes and Power Straights.
20 minutes later he is by himself once again with a few new levels and a pile of loot. Checking his stats he finds unsurprisingly he has half of his stamina and no AP though his health was still relatively high, his martial arts skill was now level 20 which explained why he was able to launch as many move as he had as well as why most of them died in one hit.
His loot pile was different this time, he has: loincloth X50 (500Yen), Rat fur X50 (12700Yen), 600Yen, Gold Bar X60 (4620Yen), Broken Bronze Armour Set X5 (?Yen), Broken Bronze Sword X5(?Yen), Broken Bronze Battle Axe X5 (?Yen) and Bronze Bar X 30 (?Yen).
There was a forge nearby, so Issei bought a book called {Weapon Repair} allowing him to fix the Broken stuff, he now had: loincloth X50 (500Yen), Rat fur X50 (12700Yen), 600Yen, Gold Bar X60 (4620Yen), Bronze Armour Set X5 (?Yen), Bronze Sword X5(?Yen) and Bronze Battle Axe X5 (?Yen), selling time now. With his funds increased to 48290Yen and his bars full he went towards the boss room.
Using search along the way granted him, Skeleton X 15 (825Yen). {Sacred Gears and how to Recognize them} (Congratulation's you have completed the Discover the source of your powers Challenge), 30 Gold Bars, bronze dagger X5 (120Yen), knife X5 (420Yen), loincloth X50 (500Yen) & Bronze Bar X 30 (?Yen). Given that the last of the items was found right outside the boss room Issei shrugged his shoulders and went in.
{Rat-Thing Alpha} Lvl: 10 Health = 100, Mana = 100, Stamina = 100, STR - 20, INT - 1, WIS - 1, VIT - 20, END - 20, SPE - 20, DEX - 20 , LUK - 1, CHA - 1, Issei Grinned this would be easy then. "Man-thing you smell of Rat Blood, my Kin Blood. I KILL YOU" the alpha rushed him, slowly to Issei's eyes, a dodge and counter had his opponent was reeling, he did not expect the monster to suddenly double in size and nearly take his head off.
(Warning! Rat-Thing Alpha has enter [Feral State] due to you injuring him and slaughter of his people, his stats have now doubled and the skill [Berserk] which increase his strength the lower his health is!) Issei gulped and a quick Observe reviled his opponent of at 10/100 health "Oh this is not going to be fun" he grunted before jumping away, the alpha hit where he was a second ago.
Issei dodge for a few more minutes falling into a rhyme; back-step, side-step, knee dash to jump and ground pound to dive, sprint and knee dash to wall jump and weaving his head and body out of harm's way. This wasn't a game; the Alpha was not impressed by this at all.
"Shit now's he faster and stronger than me, which is not good not good at all" he barely avoided losing his head this time, but a quick check of his health showed he was down to 20/500, and he was stunned form the impact, acting on instinct he swung his left arm into the Alpha's attack and a blinding flash filmed the room.
"Boost" a voice emerged from his left hand, now covered in a red Gauntlet with a green jewel embedded in it, the fingers were uncovered and two yellow spikes either side of it, all in all a pretty badass looking thing.
Surprise, surprise a blue screen appeared saying (Congratulations you have unlocked the [Twice Critical] sacred gear, this Dragonic gear doubles the user power as well as granting them the [Dragoniod] Condition meaning all Fire, Frost, Lightning, Magma, Ice & Storm abilities are enhanced and cost less, with Plus 5 to END, STR & VIT) (You are currently Affected by the [Boost] Status all stats are doubled) (CHR and LUK now viewable) Issei stopped reading here to block another hit form the boss, which was now screaming "WILL KILL YOU DRAGON-MAN-THING!" eh at least he's getting it right Issei thought before triggering another [Boost], warning message showed up (Though Stamina is Increased, for every [Boost] Stamina Drain is also doubled)
"Good to know" Issei mumbled, still with two [Boosts] in effect he was by far the stronger of the two and meet his opponents hit head on with his own fist. The Alpha's hand was blown away as Issei roared "[DRAGON RUSH]" surging forward Issei was able to finally finish his opponent; [Dragon Rush] was a multi strike version of the [Dragon Strike].
Congratulation's you have level up. Congratulation's you have completed a Challenge. Congratulation's the following Skills have Level up. Congratulation's you have Found these items. Through a Special Action you have created the Skill {Clash}.
Issei Blinked; he really had levelled up, like damn:
{Issei Hyoudou Lvl: 20 - The Gamer}
EXP to next level = 16000
Stats:
HP = (10/10) 1050/1050
STP = (10/10) 1050/1050
AP = (10/10) 900/900
STR - (70+5) 75
INT - 90
WIS - 90
VIT - (100+5) 105
END - (100+5) 105
SPE - 70
DEX - 70
LUK - (45*2/2) 50-100
CHA - (45*2) 90
The same bullshit as before now however it also read: Issei has discovered his Dragonic powers, and opened new doors for growth. However he still has much to learn.
Through a Special Action you have created the Skill {Clash}, Issei looked at this skill and grinned it had three abilities to it: [Parry] if Issei was the stronger of the two he would blow his opponents hit away and deal double damage, [Cancel] if they were evenly matched they would merely knock each other back and finally [Reduce] if Issei was the weaker of the two, then his own damage would be taken form the amount he was being hit by.
The [Dragoniod] Condition, a passive state all dragon type sacred gear users have that grants them plus 5 to END, STR & VIT along with making Fire, Frost, Lightning, Magma, Ice & Storm abilities easier for the user. Dragon as beings of power fascinate people, meaning CHA is doubled; however LUK is flux (Enjoy). "Well that explains a lot" with his eye twitching at the bracketed comment "your mocking me aren't you?" Issei deadpanned upon reading his LUK reason.
You have correctly deduced that the U.I. is an Asshole, (How has it taken you this long) WIS and INT Raise by one point. A great sigh left his lips at that "Freaking Smartass U.I"
Unsurprisingly Martial Arts and Parkour had levelled up again, no new skills though. More interestingly Issei saw screen saying Congratulation's you have completed the 'Your First Dungeon' Challenge Issei now had now had one Dungeon to use in Dungeon rush mode, which was good news for him as the enemies did not respawn.
Finally his loot, he had form the Boss alone: Alpha Rat-Fur X10(?Yen), Gold Bar X50 (4560Yen), Bronze Bar X50 (?Yen), Bronze Armour Set(404Yen), Bronze Sword X5(120Yen), Bronze Long Sword X5(?Yen) and Bronze Battle Axe X5 (60Yen), a quick search of the area got him Skeletons X25, Knife X5, Bronze Dagger X5 & {Touki is your Friend: here's why}.
Time for a sale Issei though before selling of most of his recently acquired loot, keeping his books for later, this left him with a grand total of 75559Yen, this however Issei paused at, while not an outrageously high amount, he would need a cover for future funds exceeding this and it would exceed this amount with time, an issue for later now he needed to get out of here.
He learned {Weapon Manipulation} and {Touki is your Friend: here's why} the latter of which unlocked a shiny new gauge with an entirely set of skills and abilities. "Now how do I get out of here?" he spoke aloud.
The sun set on the final day of summer, Issei sighed; his level had increased a lot since his first dungeon,, he had also bought a small bakery (Now Hyoudou's Caf
