[Congratulations! You have crafted a new item!]
"Finally…" Zach let out a weary sigh and dropped his back on the bed to relax. "After seven unsuccessful tries, I finally succeeded on the eighth attempt."
'Although I was going to give up on the tenth try.' Zach sat back up and looked at his inventory to see the item he crafted.
It was a tiny flask bottle with yellow liquid inside it.
"It took me about an hour to craft it. I also wasted the 1000 epic grade materials I got from the cost." Zach was showing mixed expressions on his face. However, he was happy that he was able to craft something that didn't and shouldn't exist in the game.
"I will try using it when I get a chance." Zach looked at his menu and wondered, "Can I alter my system with my crafter class?"
Zach tried to alter the system and added the option for the third class.
[Unauthorized action! User doesn't have permission to access the program.]
"Well… I expected as much, but at least, it was worth trying."
Zach fooled around with his crafter class and tried to do many things with his system, although he failed all of them with the same error as before.
He then tweaked his skill menu and converted it into a skill tree. It looked better and easier to understand. He only had two skills, so the tree only had two branches; one was of his skill— Martial warrior, and another was Devour's touch that later evolved into Dominator's touch. The branch of the Devour's touch had a leaf on it that represented the evolution of the skill.
Zach did the same thing with his class menu and turned it into a class tree.
Normally, it would have been impossible, even with the crafter class, as the players were allowed to have only two classes. But Zach, however, could change his class, which gave him the ability to craft this class menu and turn it into the class tree.
The class tree looked different from the skill tree, and it didn't have any branches or leaves on it. Each class had its own tree, and the root of the respective class tree was connected to the root of the skill tree.
Zach created skill tree so he could save the progress of the skills and the different classes. So he could change to the said class and use the saved skills whenever he wanted, without losing the progress and evolution of the skill. And the class tree was going to help him with that.
Zach couldn't alter anything else, but he was satisfied with the result.
"Now then…" Zach looked at the time, and it was past midnight. "I should get some sleep."
Zach was going to clear the tower with Aurora the next day, so he needed all the rest he could get.
Zach woke up 8 hours later and cultivated 480 MP while sleeping. After that, he ate breakfast with Shay and Kayden and went to the garden where Aurora was waiting for him.
"How many floors are you planning to clear today?" Aurora asked curiously.
"We can resume from where we left off, so I guess we can clear 30 more floors today and make it to the 50th floor," Zach replied nonchalantly.
"The monsters get a lot stronger after the 30th floor. The same with the dungeon," Aurora stated and added, "So save your MP for the boss floors."
"I know that." After reaching the entrance of the tower, Zach turned to Aurora and said, "If we don't find anything useful today, then we are going to clear the dungeon tomorrow."
"That's the plan," Aurora nodded.
13 hours later.
Zach came out of the tower with Aurora in his arms.
"I am fine. You can let me down.." Aurora muttered with a flushed face.
"Not until I get you to the church where the NPC healer can heal you," Zach replied in a solemn voice and made his way to the church.
It was already past 11 in the night, and neither of them had eaten anything in 13 hours.
When they entered the tower, they cleared up to floor 25 within an hour. It took them another hour to clear the next five floors.
However, as Aurora had mentioned, the monsters got a lot stronger after the 30th floor.
They cleared the next five floors in 2 hours, but Zach had used half of his MP by that time. Then, it took them 2 hours to clear the next five floors, and they made it to the 40th floor. Zach had used all his MP on the bosses of the 40th floor.
After that, Aurora and Zach proceeded to the next floors. They were tired but not exhausted as they simply needed to jump around rather than move everywhere like they did in the dungeon.
They cleared up to the 45th floor in the next 3 hours. Aurora used her sword art skill on the 45th floor and cleared it alone in one second.
However, things got serious after the 45th floor. It took them one hour to clear one floor. The main problem was the regeneration abilities and high defense of the monsters, which got higher and higher as they proceeded to the next floors.
But, things became dire on the 50th floor. Aurora used her second skill— super healing so Zach could use his DT skill for 2 minutes straight, but the monster attacked Aurora and interrupted her.
In the end, two minutes weren't enough to kill the bosses of the 50th floor, and Aurora ended up using 90% of her HP as MP to continue her super healing skill. Aurora was injured, but she still had 1000 HP left.
"You are a healer, too, right?" Aurora asked Zach. "Why don't you heal me?"
"I am out of MP." Zach was telling the truth.
Twenty-four hours had passed since Zach last used Aria's blessing, and he could change his class to healer again, but he had no MP left.
After some seconds of getting out of the tower, Aurora insisted Zach to let her down from his arms. Then, they walked to the church, and Aurora got herself healed by the NPC healer.

Author's Note - Any thoughts on this chapter? I summarized everything instead of writing them in detail to save yours and my time. I believe, it gets repetitive and no one likes it. As I have said before, I will skip most of the dungeon and tower raids unless something new happens. I want to focus on the plot and move the story forward.
Also, we have reached the first power stone target, and as promised, I will release one chapter on Sunday. As I will be traveling for the next 3-4 days, I won't get much free time. But I will write in breaks and fulfill my promise! So keep supporting the book!
Thanks, @Bavtar, @GMOneTrick, @PissedOff_Nation, for voting with golden tickets. (I can only see the top three, so thanks to one more reader who has voted.)
