Noah, exhausted but exhilarated after everything he went through, decided to take a moment to rest before venturing to the eighth floor. He found a secluded spot in the ruins of the seventh floor, a place where the sunlight filtered through a broken window, casting a warm glow on the dusty floor.
He sat down, leaning against a crumbling wall. His body ached from the intense battles and the arduous journey through the hidden realm. But his spirit was filled with a sense of accomplishment. He had survived, he had triumphed.
As he closed his eyes, the events of the past few days replayed in his mind. The hidden realm, the spirits, the battle for survival. It was a whirlwind of experiences, a blur of emotions.
With a sigh, Noah opened his eyes and looked up at the broken ceiling. A single ray of sunlight pierced the gloom, casting a beam of hope into the ruined city. He knew that his journey was far from over. The challenges would only grow more difficult, the stakes higher. But he was ready. He was prepared.
With renewed determination, Noah stood up. It was time to move on, to face whatever awaited him on the eighth floor.
He decided to allocate his two available stat points to Strength and Dexterity, boosting both attributes to 165.

But Noah was too fast, too agile. His strikes were precise, his movements fluid. The skeletons were cut down like wheat, their bones shattering with each blow. The graveyard echoed with the sound of clashing steel and the sickening crunch of breaking bone.
The fog seemed to thicken, obscuring the fallen skeletons. But Noah was undeterred. He continued his onslaught, his sword a whirlwind of death. The skeletal creatures, sensing their impending doom, fought with renewed ferocity. Their attacks were desperate, their eyes filled with a burning hatred.
But Noah was relentless. He danced through their attacks, his sword a blur of motion. The skeletons fell one by one, their bodies reduced to piles of crumbling bones. The graveyard was a scene of carnage, a testament to Noah's skill.
Noah pushed deeper into the eighth floor, the Realm of the Dead. The graveyard stretched out before him, an endless expanse of tombstones shrouded in mist. The air was heavy with a sense of decay and despair, and the silence was broken only by the occasional mournful howl of the wind.
Skeletons of giant wolves appeared as he moved deeper.
The air crackled with electricity as Noah vanished into a blur of motion. His sword, Nemesis, danced in the air, a deadly ballet of black steel. The skeletal wolves, sensing the impending threat, lunged forward, their jaws snapping at the air.

''Finally, I thought you'd never give me one. Well, I was thinking to reach level 60 nonetheless. I need to clear this floor as skeletons doesn't give much exp but clearing the whole floor should do.''
Having decided what to do, Noah moved forward and soon was surrounded by skeletons warriors.
As Noah fought through the endless waves of skeletal warriors, a new and terrifying threat emerged from the fog.
A colossal skeletal bear lumbered towards him, its bones gleaming in the dim light. Its eyes, two glowing orbs of green, burned with a primal hunger.
The bear was a monstrous creature, its size dwarfing even the largest human. Its claws were like daggers, its jaws a gaping maw filled with razor-sharp teeth. Noah knew that this would be the toughest challenge he had faced yet.
As the bear charged, Noah braced himself with Nemesis.
