[Partner that Klein guy finally entered a dungeon!]
"He sure takes his sweet time" Ritsuka smiled wryly "it took him a month before taking the random box reward"
[Yeah, he didn't charge ahead but instead focused on self-improvement before barging into the unknown. While he may be average but he is at least have a good head]
"Well, I am glad he took his sweet time" Ritsuka sighed "because this is not S*lo Lev*ling world there is no Chaos World in here, so no natural dungeon. I have to make the dungeon using Mooncell resources"
"Even though it lacked data, good thing I can just manifest a monster and added it to the data" Ritsuka delighted "with this I can summon any monster that recorded using Mooncell, allowing for me to grind easily! "
[I already said this but I will say it again. Mooncell is complete bullshit]
"This…are this still the same station?"
Klein looks around, the gate where he enters is closed, the train station lamp turned off but the surroundings have enough light. The cold feeling seeped into his skin and wind blowing from inside to outside as if telling him that the inside is more dangerous
There is also the fact all humans that still waiting for train suddenly missing
Readying his sword, Klein takes his first step into the unknown 'I have to be careful, this is will be my first dungeon experience'
Klein explore the right side of the station with a slow but steady step, he makes sure to not go too far from the wall, to avoid being surrounded just in case the monster come in a pack
*sound of bones clacking*
Klein heart beat faster, the moment he heard the weird sound his grip on his sword tightened, and he start to search for the source of the sound
{Skeleton}
"A skeleton?" Klein readied his stance and made sure to maintain a safe distance while assessing it.
'A skeleton huh, it didn't bring any weapon nor do it have any armor…I hope the sword is-'
The skeleton leap to Klein at high speed, its hand stretching as if trying to rip off Klein skin. With his high agility and above-average sense Klein just barely managed to react to its attack and block the skeleton stretching hand with his sword
'The skeleton weight is light! That means…' Klein pushed, knocking off the skeleton to the ground losing its grip on his sword before crushing its head using his feet
{Level Up}
'The skeleton is fast but not as fast as the monster in penalty zone, its weight also quite light for its size' *gasping breath*'sharp weapon while can damage them but its ineffective as evidenced when the skeleton gripping my sword, blunt damage from my shoes stomp is better'
'Let us check my stat…if I am not wrong I managed to level up when killing that skeleton'

'All my stat went up by 1, I also get 3 unassigned stat point and as usual, I still got no skill…for now, let's assign my stat point into Intelligence' Klein takes a deep breath 'let's make all stat reach 20 before I start min-maxing
"It seems he will go all around stats"
[That was a surprisingly good choice, especially in lower level. After all, specialization is something you do when you already have a definite fighting style]
"That was a high praise coming from you Albion"
[I am just saying a fact, after all, specialization in lower level without any proper support will stunt his growth] Albion huffed [I see many of my early host companions die because of that, resulting in Juggernaut Drive]
'The sense stat surprisingly useful'
A skeleton horde appeared!
{Skeleton x12}
'At first, I just ignore it because it sound useless but who know that by raising it, I got the breakthrough that I needed to control the Life energy.' Klein slashed at the horde using his sword, {Mana Sword activate!}a bluish light covering it, with each sword touch the skeleton break instantly, decimating the skeleton horde in a matter of seconds
{Level Up!}
{Your Mana Sword skill leveled up!}
'To know about the world you must know about yourself and the sense stat is like the cheat code to do exactly that' Klein thought 'thanks to that fighting skeletons become a bit easier after level 5. The fact that the skeleton is a poor matchup against me helped'
'They are an energy construct, the moment the balance is disrupted by my Mana Sword heavy blow they are quickly falling apart'

'Sadly, my energy gauge is dropping like crazy, I should preserve it because if a stronger monster appear I am fucked up' Klein sighed 'there is also the fact the skeleton keep spawning in the certain area making it a pain in the ass'
'The fact the skeleton is keep spawning and this place called as a dungeon, that means there is a boss monster somewhere inside this station. If don't find the boss fast I will be overwhelmed sooner or later'
'If my guess is right, the boss must be in the farthest place from the entrance! That means is this way!' Klein quickly sprint to the left side of the station
Skeleton appeared!
"Screw off!" With a single heavy slash, the skeleton died
Skeleton horde appeared!
Skeleton horde appeared!
Skeleton horde appeared!
{Skeletonx36}
"It seems I am right" Klein grinned "the boss is this way!"
{Mana Sword is activated!}
{Level Up!}
{Level Up!}
…
…
…
{You have entered boss area}
{Wither Skeleton}
"...Wither Skeleton? And it's holding a sword?"
The black skeleton looks at Klein and strike. 5-meter distances covered in a single leap.
If this was level 1 Klein, he will be slaughtered without knowing why but Klein is already level 13. While he is not really experienced due to the good matchup against the skeletons but his raw stat is enough to make him able to react again when the skeleton attack blocks its sword strike
'What a heavy blow! This skeleton has proper weight, unlike the normal skeleton!"
{Mana Sword activate!} Klein countered with a diagonal slash which parried easily by the Wither Skeleton which followed with another strike
At this point, Klein can't block it
{User is afflicted with Wither debuff. The player's body will be decaying for 60 seconds!}
Seeing the notification Klein quickly decide to retreat from the boss area
{You have left the boss area}
"What a powerful skeleton and this Wither debuff is reminding me of Minecraft except 100x more dangerous" Klein sighed, open his inventory and quickly sell some misc drop that he got to the system store before buying some health potions
{Your Hit-Point is restored by 30%!}
{Your Hit-Point is restored by 30%!}
{Your Hit-Point is restored by 30%!}
"My raw strength and that skeleton are about equal but that skeleton is skilled in sword unlike me. Skill is not something that I can get in a few hours so that all that left is…to grind and smash it with superior raw strength"
[That was a good judgment. He immediately retreat, when seeing he was outmatched, it was something really rare back in my world]
"Is it really that bad?"
[You won't believe me how many of my past hosts die because they are too confident and forced to use Juggernaut Drive. It's quite shameful because they didn't die against my rival host…]
"That actually makes sense, after all, your gear is really powerful and more practical to use than Boosted Gear. In most cases halving an opponent, power is more practical than doubling own power, especially the part where it takes the halved power"
"Ddraig is just your worst match"
[When you are saying it like that it kinda makes sense]
{You killed the Wither Skeleton!}
{Level Up }
"Overwhelming power really makes everything easier…"Klein feel exhausted "but to think a Wither Skeleton is that strong"
"I also got many drops, it must be fetched quite a good price" Klein grinned "with this, I can get back the money I spend for my sword and more"
