Chapter 43 – I almost died.
The night finally came to an end, and I took a bath before going to bed. I slept and woke up the next day, ready to go to the dungeon and test my new skills.
These are skills I haven't mentioned before.
My current status is:
Name: Luan Taylor
Nickname: None
Strength: 58
Agility: 64
Endurance: 37
Magic: 20
Perception: 24
Available skills: "Falna Editing LvMAX", "Swordsmanship LV2", "Dark Magic LV3", "Abnormal Resistance", "Charming Aura LV2", "Dvergr Enhance", "Fire Magic LV1", "Super Strength LV1", "Speed LV1"
Points: 34
Experience Points: (4/50)
I need to test the Super Strength LV1 and Speed LV1. At level one, the first skill increases my strength by 10% for five minutes. This is quite good.
As for the Speed LV1 skill, it increases my speed by 5%, but only for three minutes. It's not as good as the first skill but will help run away from monsters.
I also need to consider escaping. I won't be able to kill all the monsters.
"But before I go, I need to distribute these points. I think my perception is already good. Should I increase my magic now?"
Since I have 34 points, I think putting some into magic isn't a problem. 'Alright, put 10 points into magic.'
[Magic is now at 30!]
'That's great, now I have 24 points left. I'll add them to strength and agility. I don't need more endurance now since I'm fast and rarely get hit.'
[Your strength is now at 72!]
[Your agility is now at 74!]
I put 14 points into strength and 10 into agility. Now I'm much faster and stronger. I'm sure I'll "clear" the dungeon floors even faster now. And the changes in my body? Did they happen?
21 monsters on the fourth floor.
12 monsters on the fifth floor.
Then, I reached 9 monsters killed on the sixth floor.
My bag of items and magic stones was getting fuller, while my sword was becoming more damaged.
'I only gained two points despite killing so many monsters. I need to go deeper to increase my point gain... or maybe have some more sex.'
I sat on the dungeon floor to rest.
I grabbed a bottle of water and then some food. After finishing my meal, I spent a few minutes writing. 'I'll show this to Lili later. I don't know if she'll come to my house today, but I hope she does.'
After finishing writing two pages, I took a look at my sword.
'The system doesn't give me a durability estimate... But if I had to guess, the durability of this sword is at 40/500 now. There are even some cracks at the tip.'
At this rate, I'll have to start using the knife to fight. I don't think this is a good idea. Fighting with a knife will make me more vulnerable since I'll be closer, as the blade is short.
And since most of the monsters on this floor use weapons, it can be a problem.
'Fortunately, I haven't encountered any War Shadows yet.'
However, my happiness didn't last long.
Shortly after, I was facing one.
I activated my [Speed LV1] skill again, which has a one-hour cooldown, and also the [Super Strength LV1] skill. With these skills, it should be easy.
I quickly advanced towards the monster, which was surprised by my speed.
However!
Tlin!
My sword clashed against its claws.
Break!
The already damaged tip of the sword broke into pieces, and more cracks appeared on the blade. Noticing my surprise, the War Shadow advanced towards me, swinging its claws.
I narrowly avoided it.
'I thought I was going to die!'
I threw my sword on the ground and grabbed my knife.
