Chapter 34: Chapter 33: Level 80
This situation made Tanaka smile. He was happy that she liked them so much.
This also gave him a lot of inspiration. Moreover, the fact that Kushina recited those words while using the shoes, when in reality, she only needed to say 'equip', gave him several ideas as well...
Taking the gloves he intended to give to Akane, Tanaka returned to the special room.
══════
January 16th, Tuesday. Strong and freezing winds.
That morning, Tanaka was awakened by the system alerts about the attribute points gained thanks to the shadow clones.
Later, after following the routine of going to the two zombie dungeons, Tanaka reflected a bit before making a decision.
'With this, I'm at level 78, and I'm very close to leveling up again…'
Although he wanted to avoid going to the ghost dungeon, now that he discovered it was even more disturbing than he had imagined… Tanaka still decided to go again. At least up to the elite miniboss.
══════
Although he was pale, after going to the ghost dungeon twice in a row and killing a few more ghosts after finishing off the Smiling Ghost... Tanaka managed to reach level 80!
Climbing on top of a four-story building, he thought: 'Status.'

══════
As this was happening, something changed inside him. Or, more precisely, in his mind. It was as if a new dimension had been added to his thoughts, allowing him to maintain multiple thought processes without conflict.
An incredibly useful and powerful passive skill.
'I wish I had acquired this earlier... But, better late than never.'
As he thought about this, he never felt it so easy to think and keep his mind clear. He began thinking about something else simultaneously without any conflict or losing track of his thoughts.
When he used three simultaneous thoughts, it felt natural to him, with no difficulty or conflict in his thinking.
After dispersing the shadow clones, Tanaka created 40 new shadow clones.
Before even leaving the dungeon, he opened a dungeon inside the dungeon.
He had never thought of doing this before, but after some consideration, he believed it was possible.
When he did this, the result was positive when options 1, 3, and 4 were available. Clicking on 4, a new domain began to overlap the ghost dungeon from the inside out.
Soon, even the environment changed. Even though it was strong and cold winds in the real world, the climate shifted to warmer... When I say warm, I mean at least 50 degrees.
'Is it now capable of even changing the weather?'
Before, the expansion of a dungeon domain would only be a replica of the original location, while the climate itself remained unchanged. However, seeing how suddenly hot it became and even making it seem like the sun was shining brighter, it was clear that this dungeon was different from the first two.
In this climate, even using 'Phantasmal Elevation' would be difficult. Even though he had already reached level 21 with this skill, he would still have lost half of its effectiveness, making flight less agile and evasion less efficient.
However, as long as it's not a dungeon where the monsters can also fly, it could still be useful.
Thinking about flying, he ended up thinking about the ghost dungeon...
'Now that the Orc dungeon is unlocked, I don't need to go to that dungeon anymore.'
Of course, he could try to overcome his phobia of it. However, he wasn't willing to do that right now.
If that world had something like ghosts, although there is something similar, like the souls that live in the 'Pure Land,' it still wasn't the same. For this reason, he wasn't willing to go through something traumatic for a few minor gains.
'I hadn't stopped to think about it, but now I realize that my vision is many times better…'
Before, focusing on something was easier, but now he basically had three distinct points of focus, capturing all the details of his peripheral vision perfectly.
He felt like a nearsighted person wearing prescription glasses for the first time. Everything seemed indescribable compared to what he saw before. It was like observing the world through a new window, different from the one he was used to looking through.
That wasn't all. Even his motor coordination became more precise. The change was so drastic that it was hard to express in words all the small improvements this passive skill brought.
If he wanted, he could let one of the parallel thoughts completely control an arm without losing focus while commanding the other arm and his body with total perfection and synchronization. This alone was an incomparable advantage.
While marveling at each small discovery, thinking about multiple things at the same time as the clones he had created did the same, masses of energy began to form at various points.
Unlike the ghosts and zombies, the creation of the Orcs was happening in real-time, right before his eyes.
Each mass of energy began to transform into red dots on the map, and then, green Orcs started to emerge.
As the green Orcs emerged from the masses of energy, their forms slowly solidified. First, the imposing, tall, and robust silhouettes appeared, with defined muscles that looked like they were made of stone. Their skin had a deep, almost matte, green tone, contrasting with the bright red eyes that glowed intensely.
With each passing second, more details formed: the tusks that protruded from their mouths, the broad and strong arms that held rudimentary weapons like axes and clubs, and the fierce expression that seemed permanently etched on their faces. They were clearly creatures of combat, made for battle.
The Orcs moved randomly, grumbling something that somewhat resembled zombies, but they seemed more intelligent. Their heavy steps made the ground vibrate slightly, and the atmosphere around them seemed to grow denser, charged with the energy that had brought them into existence.

A huge HP bar considering the Orc's equipment. The only decent equipment was the weapon, but it wasn't much, as it seemed dull, like it had been used for years.
