Chapter 94 – Strong. 10th floor.
As soon as I entered the dungeon, I remembered the points I hadn't yet distributed. "I have 221 points, and I need 300 points in each stat to ascension. That's nowhere near enough."
Let's see.
I hid on the second floor to distribute all the points safely without anyone bothering me.
"Hmmm... Focusing on my strength and agility is good, but I'll put more into my magic."
I decided to add 50 points to my magic.
[ Your magic is now 141 ]
"Yes, I already feel my mana pool is much bigger. Now, I'll add a few points to my perception. That will be very useful on the lower floors. 30 points to perception."
[ Your perception is now 80 ]
"Great, that's good. I still have 141 points left. Should I increase my endurance a bit? Normally, I don't take hits because of my speed, but I should prepare just in case. 41 points into endurance."
[ Your endurance is now 103 ]
"Now there are exactly 100 points left. I'll put 50 points into strength and 50 into agility."
[ Your strength is now 187 ]
[ Your agility is now 199 ]
"My agility is almost at 200 points. It won't take long to reach 300. My strength is also quite high. All my stats are over 100, except for perception."
I'm strong enough to go down a few more floors and finally face a minotaur. I'm starting to think that I'm much stronger than I realize.
I have a feeling I'll defeat a minotaur easily.
"But I could be wrong."
I activated the skill [ Speed LV4] and started running.
"It also shows that I'm too strong for these floors."

But as soon as I reached the 10th floor, things got more complicated. Because of this, I had increased my perception. The amount of fog in the air was immense, and my vision was severely limited.
If I focused a bit, I could feel the stones on the ground and even some trees that had grown on this floor. Of course, I also sensed the presence of some monsters.
And these monsters were moving in groups.
I remembered them.
"Imps. These little bastards." I stood on guard, looking toward where the group of Imps was.
I could sense that they had also noticed my presence as they stopped moving.
They hid behind something I couldn't identify.
I stayed still, waiting for them to make a move. After a few minutes, two of them decided to move toward me. Maybe they were trying to lure me in?
But that won't work.
When the Imps got close to me, I rushed at them and used [ Bloodlust LV2 ]. Both froze in place, paralyzed by fear. It was easy to kill them after that.
The remaining four Imps, still hiding, decided to stay hidden for the time being, likely plotting a surprise attack.
But that wasn't going to happen.
I activated [ Speed LV4 ] and charged at them.
I moved so fast that the fog dispersed.
The Imps made strange noises and tried to flee, but I quickly killed them. Dealing with these guys is simple: I must eliminate them before they set up traps or use dirty tactics.
"But I also need to watch out for Orcs. They may not be smart, but they have a lot of brute strength."
