AN: I'm not sure how often I'll be posting this story as I believe that by forcing myself to write I'm lowering the quality of the work. Also I will only reply to 10 reviews per chapter so that half my chapter isn't reviewed. Additionally I am not sure how the fight scenes will turn out so any advice is great.
Review Replies
Bimboom: thanks and I'm not sure if I'll be doing lemons at least for this story
Kernales: no there won't be Gamers on the same world as her but I am considering having a sort of Nexus to serve as like the City of the Gamers where they can socialize and trade with each other
The Lion of York: that's actually part of the reason I chose it

Previously
"Now for the second part I will use a power this spell has given me to help us train and become stronger so as to not have to worry about a repeat of the incident a few days ago" I stated referring to my mother's death. They both nodded and readied themselves.
I breathed deeply and declared "Create Dungeon: Zombies!" and watched as the world shattered around me.

The first thing I noticed was the smell of rot and decay the second being that we now stood in a massive cemetery with gravestones, mausoleums, and crypts as far as the eye could see.
[Quest Given]
Zombie Slayer
Main Objective: each member of your party slay 10 zombie (0/10 0/10 0/10)

Failure: Classes are changed to Experience Guzzler until you've acquired 1,000 Exp
[Accept or Decline]
Well that's interesting, definitely accept that though what's a Nexus Coin?
[A Nexus Coin when used grants you a random Item, Skill, or Perk for example you could gain Ea, Hemomancy, or Mana Reactor]
Ah ok definitely want that and I'm betting that there's a special reward if I beat the entire dungeon on my first try.
"Alright get ready we'll be facing zombies here so don't hold back" I ordered as I looked at both Auras and Vala who nodded before getting into something resembling a combat stance. A crash caught my attention as I whipped around to look. I saw the ground bulge upwards as a zombie crawled out and curious I focused on it.

"Its Strength and Endurance are twice ours and its Agility is half" I said as I focused on trying to manipulate my mana.
"Right!" They said as they moved between it and me while I felt a small pool stir within me. I focused on pouring it into my hand and igniting it.
[Skill Unlocked: Fire Magic Rank E]
"Yes!" I yelled as my hand burst into flames right before I thrust it forward causing the zombie to be turned to ash. "Wait that's it?"
[1 zombie defeated: 10 Exp 5 copper]
[Notice: MP is 0]
"What, that used all my Mana?"
[Well your Fire Magic is only E rank and you didn't focus on how much MP to use so you ended up using all of it]
"So your saying I'm useless for the next 5 minutes?"
[Yes]
"Sigh, fine Auras Vala work together to beat the next few zombies ok?" I said as I made sure to stay behind them as I heard more zombies waking up.
"Right" Auras declared as she tackled a zombie before it could finish digging itself out and proceeded to punch, elbow, knee, kick, and stomp on it.

'So she does twice her strength as damage and…' I thought as I looked over to Vala who hid behind a tombstone and as her zombie climbed out snapped its neck
[Critical Damage to a Weak Spot: 10x5x5=250 damage]
[Health: -50/200]
[1 zombie defeated: 10 Exp 5 copper]
'And she does just her strength but with a critical or weak spot it's multiplied by 5. Knowing my luck since I'm a mage I probably do half my strength' I concluded.
"Auras focus on the head, it's their weak spot" I called out as I watched my MP slowly crawl upwards. "Got it!" She yelled back right before kicking the zombie in the head.
[Health: 10/200]
Alright we're actually doing pretty decently. 'Oh god don't let that jinx us!'

Well so far so good Vala just needs 1 more to complete the Main Objective. I looked at our Stats to see how we're all doing.

Not bad and we even managed to get so useful gear though I'm hesitant to call it that.
Rusty Sword
5 damage and 10% chance of inflicting 5 poison damage per second for 5 seconds
Rusty dagger
2 damage and 10% chance of inflicting 5 poison damage per second for 5 seconds
Half rotten leather armor
Negate 5 damage 10% of falling apart upon being hit
Yeah like I said 'useful' gear. "Alright girls let's go take a break in that mausoleum over there" they both nodded as they wiped their brows before following me over. After we opened the door and went through we made sure to reseal it before sitting down and relaxing.
"So what do you think of the training?" I asked as I leaned back against the wall. "Well while somewhat dangerous I can definitely feel the benefits already" Auras replied and Vala nodded along from where she was sitting on the lid of the central coffin.
"Also did either of you gain any skills?" I wondered. "Yeah I got a stealth skill making it easier to sneak around and a sneak attack one so I do double damage from stealth though do you know what Rank E means?" "There are six ranks for skills E, D, C, B, A, and EX the higher a skills rank the better the skill so the more you sneak around the faster Stealth will increase. What about you Auras?"
"Oh I just got one called Sword Mastery and I instantly knew how to actually use this thing" she said while poking the hilt of her sword. "Well how about we try to make some more skills while here since it is safe?" Vala said.
I nodded as I extended my right hand and tried to do the same thing I did before but rather than ignite my mana I tried freezing it.
[Skill Unlocked: Ice Magic Rank E]
As that popup appeared a shard of ice crystallized in my palm. "Good now let's see" I muttered as I dismissed it "I could try lightning next or maybe healing?" I pondered as I tapped my chin.
"Mistress if I may?" Vala startled me out of my train of thought causing me to notice Auras swinging her sword around and Vala lurking behind the coffin "yes" I replied. "I think you should maybe try healing since it would help if we get hurt so we don't have to wait until we naturally heal on our own" I nod my head in agreement especially considering how Vala was hurt when one of her sneak attacks failed to kill its target.
I focused on the idea of healing injuries and curing ailments before pushing my mana out my hands…
[Skill Unlocked: Healing Magic Rank E]
...and saw them radiate soothing golden light. I smiled as I stopped, stood up, and stated "alright time to get back to work girls!" Auras jumped in the air as I apparently startled her causing her to hit the coffin...and move it to the side a bit revealing an open space.
[Secret Area Found: 100 Exp]
[You Have Leveled Up]
"Well well well, what have we here?" I said as I went over and with both Auras and Vala's help pushed the coffin over completely revealing a set of stairs leading down.
I smiled as I cocked my hip to the side and rested my hand on it. "well ladies it seems that we are getting a bonus today" as I ignited my hands and slowly made my way down below.
—————————————————————————————————————
Once we had made our way down the surprisingly long stairway lit only by my flaming hands we saw a foreboding door decorated with skulls. "Auras on the right side, Vala on the left, be ready once I open it" I ordered as I extinguished the flames in my right hand and intensified the ones in my left.
I carefully reached out while trying to hear anything from the other side. As my hand touched the handle I slammed it open and caught my first look at the other side. A tall dark robed figure stood before an altar made of bone and blood with six skeletons standing around them wielding armor and weapons. As they startled from the shock of my presence not yet noticing my slaves I focused on them.

"An intruder? Kill her!" The now acknowledged male ordered the skeletons who drew their weapons before doing something to them that caused their MP to start slowly dropping.
"Auras Vala focus on the mage and close the distance before he gets a spell off while I destroy these piles of bones" I ordered as I launched my first ball of flames at the closest skeletons instantly destroying it.
"Yes mistress!" They replied in sync before launching themselves at the apparent Necromancer who looked surprised at their presence.

[Skill Ranked Up: Fire Magic is now D Rank]
"Well this will be easy" I stated.
