I watch my stats… I have become a bit stronger now.
I may reach 100 Strength after hitting Level 10, nice.
My Mana is way higher now too. And my Magic is 270!
…If I had some offensive skill, it would be nice.
I have 128 Skill Points, not enough for any Skill from the Hero Jewels I have… So I have to keep getting more by killing monsters.
And what else… Oh, gold.
Each run in the dungeon gave me exactly 3000 Gold. I guess I can get 9000 Gold every day with the three daily runs?
Though… fighting that damn Viper again will be certainly a pain in the arse.
Nonetheless, I am getting these vibes of LitRPG novels already, I like leveling up and other stupid stuff, so I am mildly enjoying my suffering…
Maybe I just become a masochist?
I hope not.
Before going to the dungeon I decided to go to the bathroom and do some off-camera stuff to relax a bit while reading the phone.
Everything seems normal, the world seems serene and tranquil.
It is as if this entire thing was but a dream of me, a hallucination, or perhaps my delusions?
Maybe I am simply getting senile?
But…
I glance at my stomach.
It was once sluggish and not ripped at all.
But after leveling 6 times, I didn't notice but…
I am as hard as a rock…
I even have biceps now, amazing.
I am guessing that stats do this to you.
I wonder if other Players also have RPG-like systems, or they have completely different Systems that do completely different things?
Thinking about it, I got a pretty insane System myself… But what about the others?
If the System can give so much in exchange for memories… Couldn't there be one guy with some System that makes them invincible?
Or a System that simply lets them instantly kill anything?
Or a System that can let them evolve?
Damn, now I am envying whoever got such a thing.
But to get such Systems your very desires need to match.
The System Ticket doesn't obey you, it simply glances at your entire life through your memories and decides the most fitting system for you, you can't simply wish it, it just happens to depend on the life you had.
Maybe the Systems won't be as insane then…
But what about a Psychopath? What would they get as a System? Something that lets them kill anything easily? An Assassin System?
I get goosebumps by just thinking about the terrifying enemies I might encounter soon.
What can I even do against someone that could cause instant death though?
…If there is such an almighty power as giving me perfect recreations of my novels, then someone getting instant death doesn't sound all that unrealistic, right?
Or maybe that would be way too unbalanced? Perhaps they will get the power to steal souls or something instead…
Wait, my summons can't die as long as I don't die…
And I am sure that they might not have normal souls either…
So perhaps…
Well, no point in wondering these stupid things pointlessly.
I really have to get as strong as possible.
I quickly get off the bathroom, stretch a bit, eat a little snack with everyone, drink water, and get ready.
We quickly enter the Gold Dungeon again, and because Kireina and Ervas had leveled up some more, we made quick work of the rooms, until the last boss.
Now that we had experience fighting it from before, things became smoother, but the beast still fought a lot.
We were not perfect either, its poison hit us a few times, but Ervas was there to heal us, he was a big life-saver.
I kept hitting it when it finally coiled, my bat was somehow not twisting around after hitting the damn boss for so much, and I was beginning to wonder why was that even…
Kireina used her sharp spear and blood blades to finish off the Boss after a few minutes, which at the end turned into black smoke…
Phew, that was rather quicker than I expected.
But no level up…
I check the EXP bar, and I am halfway through, maybe another run would do it.
We quickly dive into the gold dungeon once more, and everything goes even faster than before, even I become able to catch the snake's patterns more easily now, and I usually crush their heads while they jump at me.
We breeze through it until reaching the Boss once more, and this time we are even more experienced than before. Although we have not completely memorized everything, its patterns are very familiar to us and Kireina was easily able to intercept the attacks of poison.
After a bit, we defeated the beast in a time record of 4 minutes and 43 seconds… That was quite the fast-paced progression I like.
Ding!
[You gained a lot of EXP!]
[Your Level has increased to Level 8!]
Level 8, nice.
Alongside this, we collected a ton of Gold, a literal pile of it…
And also, I got a bit more Skill Points.

…
Ugh, not enough for any Skill yet, the cheapest ones are 300 Skill Points!
But I can get to it by completing more Dungeons. We did the three Gold Dungeon runs that were daily, now we just do the other two, the EXP and the Skill Points Dungeon.
Maybe I should have done the Skill Points Dungeon from the very beginning?
I don't know why but I liked to do it in order, in games it really didn't matter, you would get all of them anyway every day…
But I guess I was going too rash here, although the EXP Dungeon also sounds juicy.
Well, we are doing all of them anyways.
Now, now, I wonder, what the heck is Gold for?
No, it is not to sell in the real world and gain money…
But this Gold to be an all-purpose material that is used to upgrade Hero's Stars, Hero Weapons, Hero Equipment, and also the Rank of their Skills (alongside Skill Points).
So they are quite essential for everything pretty much.
And… eh?
I glance at my bloodstained bat as it begins to glow with a crimson light…
Strange, bloodthirsty energy begins to emanate from it, making it seem creepy and eerie.
I knew it, there's something really wrong with my bat.
And to top it all, my clothes are flowing with some strange, blue-colored light.
…Did the bat and my clothes just became game-like equipment by any chance?
