Damon's consciousness was transported to this vast world of desperate Dimension, a world in which he will be able to experience fantasy; whether magic, monsters, or martial arts.
Damon took in the fragrance of the sweet flowing air with a happy heart, but this only lasted a few seconds before he realized where he was.
[Player 'Damon' is the first to discover the Rank D 'Hall of Flame' Dungeon, Fame +100]
His heart skipped a beat when he saw this message. Wtf, he was just arriving, how the fuck did he suddenly enter a rank D Dungeon?
"A system error, damnit, I must notify the game programmer after I log out, those people must be out of their mind when they did this." Damon was annoyed.
"Log out."
He commanded, expecting a notification to tell him that he had logged out or for him to be back in his room. But damn, none of that was happening right now; instead, a notification was sent to him, not for the purpose of logging out, but for something entirely different.
[Because you are in a dungeon, all attempts to log out will fail.]
"Oh damn you, don't tell me this nonsense, I was expecting a fun world to explore, maybe make friends with NPCs, or grind some monsters to level up, why am I stuck here?"
His head twitched at the sight of the notification, and he couldn't help but scream in rage at the notification's purpose.
"Because this thing won't let me leave, I might as well see what this dungeon is made of. But first, I need to check my stats to see if I'll be able to survive. Stats."
Following his command, a transparent system interface appeared, on one side of it was his face.

"How am I going to survive with this measly stats of mine?"
Damon was disappointed with his own stats, but he later kept his calm side, it's a game after all, no need to be so damn disappointed if he can just grind some monsters to level up.
Other players must have reached level 1 or even level 2, while he, a pro gamer, was trapped inside a dungeon on his first play, that was another thing that made him disappointed with the way things have turned out.
The dungeon was dark and filled with the pungent odor of something he didn't recognize; the air inside here was filled with some kind of mystery he couldn't explain.
He took his stone sword and walked deeper into the dungeon which has an interior of a cave.
A skeleton appeared out of nowhere, it's body lacked flesh, it was surprising how it could walk.
[Skeleton] [Level 1] [HP 10/10]
When he first saw the skeleton, he was taken aback by its ability to walk even with it flesh missing.
'I think someone is using is using necromancy to control these skeletons, I'll have to find out myself by defeating this skeleton.'
Damon braced himself, but instead of attacking right away, he waited for the skeleton to close the distance between them because he wanted to watch it's movement and see it's tactic, so he will know exactly what he is up against and not just underestimate its strength and get killed in the process.
Its slow movement gave him an advantage, but he had no idea how powerful the strength was.
Damon quickly went there, using the stone sword to unleash an attack for its head.
-2
Even after using all of his strength to attack, only two hit points were removed.
The skeleton was enraged after suffering damages from it's its foe, so it fisted its skeletal hand and thrust it into Damon's stomach.
-3 HP.
Damon dashed back, his eyes narrowed, he now has only 7HP remaining, he must kill the skeleton first if he is to survive.
He deflected two punches from the skeleton, then slashed randomly, making sure all of them landed on the slow-moving skeleton.
-2, -2, -1, -1, -2
[Victory] [EXP +5]
After killing the skeleton, Damon began walking deeper into the dungeon.
He was up against two other skeletons, it was a hard fight though, because he have only faced one.
Fighting with two of them was tedious, nevertheless he managed to survive.
He killed them while he suffer another loss of HP.
[Victory] [EXP +5]
[Victory] [EXP +5]
[You have level up.]
His level increased by one after grinding the two skeletons, his HP was fully restored, and its Max even increased to 20/20.
He was overjoyed when he saw this, because of this, he no longer need to take in health portion to restore his health.
"If I keep seeing this frail skeleton, leveling up will be easier." With a smirk, Damon thought to himself.
His smirk, however, vanished the moment he saw a skeleton with a more larger structure holding a sword. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂
[Skeleton swordman] [Level 5] [HP 50/50]
[Skeleton swordman] [Level 5] [HP 50/50]
'Why does it appear that someone is conspiring against me reaching the top of this game world as planned?'
Damon cried inwardly, then he locked his gaze on the skeleton swordman, who held a long sword in his bony hands.
Unlike his first set of enemies, the skeleton swordman appears to have the highest IQ because its eyes were fixed on his body the moment it saw him.
Damon quickly gulped down a bottle of health supplement to keep himself from dying so quickly.
[Health portion consumed, health restored by +10]
'Now, show me what you've got, skeleton swordman!' He swung his stone sword, unleashing a quick attack on the skeleton swordman's skeletal structure, yelling in his heart. He didn't swing it once, but several times until the skeleton swordman parried it with his longsword.
-4, -4, -3,-2,-1
[stone sword durability have decreased by 1]
Just one block from the skeleton reduced his sword's durability by one.
Cling.
The skeleton's sword collided with Damon's, causing Damon's body to vibrate from the impact as the strength of the skeleton swordman was too powerful for him to bare.
His attack speed and power had increased as he leveled up, so he wasn't afraid of a close combat, but the fact that the skeleton was level 5, three levels higher than him perplexed him.
Clinging, clinging, clinging.
Two swords collided, producing painful sounds to the ears.
[stone sword durability have decreased by 1]
[stone sword durability have decreased by 1]
His sword's durability was dwindling with each attack he blocked from the Skeleton swordman because of the strength difference and the difference in sword quality, it's obvious the skeleton swordman had the upper hand in this duel.
'It's better to lose a sword than a life, but if I lose the sword, I'll almost certainly die in this dungeon.'
Damon thought to himself as he deflected another skeleton swordman attack.
[The passive skill "Parry" has been mastered.]
[Parry: When active, blocks incoming attacks at a faster rate, Defend +5]
Damon received a passive skill for using a specific move for the past 2 minutes.
"My arsenal has grown by one passive skill. It's now time to finish this jerk."
Damon charged at the skeleton swordsman, swinging his sword and unleashing a lethal attack for the head.
-10, his defense have increased by 5, damage done to him will be reduced.
? The skeleton swordman's head fell to the ground, but it did not die; instead, it began attacking empty air, but its attack was not precise, and its attack speed had also decreased.
Damon used this to attack with pinpoint accuracy, allowing him to emerge victorious after a few tireless slashes.
[Success] [Exp +25]
[You have level up.]

[Stone sword]
Level 5
Requirement: Level 2.
Durability 20/25.
Fortunately, the skeleton swordman dropped its sword, which was also a stone sword but of a higher level than his first one; the skeleton swordman's sword was level 5, a three-level difference. Its durability was 20/25, which was higher than his sword, which had dropped to 6/10.
Without much thought, the iron ore will be used by the blacksmith; at the start of the game, it will be sold for a higher price because enemies who drop it are rare; not to mention, the game is still in its early hours. Not even a single day has passed.
Damon happily walked deeper into the dungeon, his level has risen to 3, and as long as a stronger enemy does not appear, he will be able to survive.
