After Arkhen used the Doom Key, he disappeared and appeared in the rest area between the 10th and 11th floor of the Doom Tower.
He had completed the 10th floor and gained that EX rank Archion Draconic Armor as a reward. That floor was still the highest difficulty and struggle he had experienced to date, about walking through the 1st to 15th gate.
It was also after passing that floor that made Arkhen's willpower gained a large boost and improved overall regarding spiritual and mental.
"Before entering the 11th floor, let's see what I got," Arkhen muttered as he opened his status panel.

"Hmmm…. Velshi, can I use those skill points to empower any of my skills?"
[Unfortunately, no. Those 4 skill points are low-tier since they were produced after I trashed those skills you got in the Gravel Realm. They can't be used to make SSS rank skills to EX rank. But they can be used to upgrade SS rank skills to SSS rank].
'Welp, I don't have any SS rank skills.'
[You will gain a lot of skills along with other things in this run of Doom Tower. All kinds of skill types like Passive, Active, Trigger, Condition-based, and such. You can use the skill points on them before combining them in the Skill Pavilion. After this run, you can also kill the 2nd Guardian Boss to unlock Bloodline Altar facility].
'Nice. Oh yeah, my stats… They should indeed be enough to kill the 2nd guardian boss,' Arkhen thought as he looked at his stats.
[Before that, please destroy the Exo-Blood Gear Combat Art from your body].
'Eh? Why?'
[You will gain better combat Art in this run for sure. So, to learn the new Combat Art early, you need to destroy the previous Combat Art from your body because it takes at least one to few days before you can start the process of learning the new Combat Art after destroying the old one].
'Hmm? Could it be that it takes some time to remove all traces and markings of a Combat Art from one's body?'
[Yes. Need to clean all runic patterns and formations of the previous Combat Art and then wait for one to several days for the purging of old traces before learning a new Combat Art. Otherwise, it will do foundation damage to your body and decrease your stats... Also, more trouble if unlucky].
'Alright,' Arkhen nodded as he started destroying the runic patterns and formations of the Exo-Blood Gear combat art from his body, both internally and externally.'
After an hour, he was done and checked his body stats.

"Oh yeah, Velshi. Sierra had a 12 million capacity in both of her ponds. But as far as I am seeing, the pond capacity increases by 1 million after each class upgrade so far. What's the case? Does it increase more in higher classes?"
[Yes. You will know as you progress further].
'',
'Alright. Now, show me the inventory. Let's see what I got so far and what I can use.'

"Ice Affinity, I want… But you said I should use it later when I have a higher chance of gaining the ice affinity after eating the pill, right? How will I get the so-called higher chance?" Arkhen asked, curious.
Velshi floated in front of him in the cute ball form with big eyes and wings as she produced another talking panel along with her voice ringing out.
[I don't know the 100% method. I was just hoping you would get a probability increase card by spinning Roulette or get something similar from the Mystery Box].
"Hmm… Alright. I'll open the Mystery Box first," Arkhen said as he took out the Mystery Box, which he got after completing that Emergency Quest regarding humiliating and taking the soul of that wench who came to take Azela's soul.
Looking at the Mystery Box in his palm, Arkhen grinned with anticipation and opened it after pressing the red button on its surface.
The box glowed before a burst of colorful sparks sprayed out from it. Afterward, several beams of colorful lights shot out from the box before landing on the ground and turning into items!
A funny pink rubber hammer!
A colorful box adorned with gems!
Two scrolls!
One mysterious lavender glowing orb with red sparks inside!
And last but not least…
A small but exquisite clay figure of a faceless humanoid wearing samurai-like clothes and two katanas hanging at the waist.
"Alright! These things look cool. Let's start with the hammer," Arkhen said with a grin as he picked up the hammer and checked it. "Oh? A unique-rank item like that Memory Crystal Fishing Rod?"
