Izuku waited a few weeks after he killed Masao, he knew no one would come looking for an assassin, but he also tested his new skill. It would be useful for getting out of a tight spot or getting past someone. 'I guess I should thank him…' Izuku sighs as he starts to walk across a fallen tree, going over a river. It was 8 am in the morning. He should be home by the time his mom wakes up. Soon he stops deep in the forest while looking around, making sure no one followed him.
"Okay, let's get started" Izuku laces his fingers together before stretching out. "Job Change," he calls out as the familiar electricity starts to form a portal in front of him. In steal or a blue or red hue to it, it seems purple. "Interesting." Izuku thought. 'I have a month tell U.A. exam. This might be the last dungeon I can get before I start school. Let's see what kind of monsters will be inside.'
Izuku walks through the portal and found himself in a large hallway, the only light was from the torches on each side of the hall. He looks around, and it reminded him of an old castle. The arches reached high, leaving the roof even higher.
The sound of metal moving together made Izuku jump backward as a silver knight swings his sword, destroying the floor instead of hitting Izuku. The Knight looked 7 foot tall but ran well enough. 'well, it matches the setting,' Izuku thought as he materializes his dagger and dashes forwards towards the knights.
Vital Strike
Izuku slams his blade against the knights' armor, and three clashes of metal clashing with the metal chest plate sound off. Izuku did notice, the armor sounds hollow inside the knights' armor. 'my attacks aren't dealing any damage.' Izuku bent backward as the Knight's sword swipes sideways aiming for his neck.
'He's not that strong, but that Armor is thick.' Izuku jumps backward again as the sword slams against the floor, cracking it. 'his movements are dull and attack weaker than some of the other monsters I've faced.' The Knight swings again, but Izuku had enough and dashes around the Knight before jumping on his shoulders. Izuku grabs the base of the helmet. 'well, if my blade can't hurt you, I know I can.' Izuku's fingers bend the metal upwards before he rips the helmet off the Knight, making the body kneel down and go still.

[You Have Slain A Knight!]
"This type of monster is weak against drawn-out battles…" Izuku saw the empty insides of the armor. "it's like a doll. I have a feeling these will be annoying to deal with if they bunch up" Izuku looks down the dark hallway before going to the side, picking a torch off the wall. "It's still pretty dark in here… it's going to be annoying as damage accumulates." Izuku talks to himself while looking at two considerable warnings.
! Alarm
[You cannot leave this dungeon until you have cleared it.]
! Alarm
[In this area, your potion and shop ability is restricted. On level up, you do not receive status healing.]
'that is going to be a problem.' Izuku dismisses the alarms. 'stealth and vital strike have good efficiency, but they use too much Mana… so I should have put some points into intelligence.' Izuku looks back at the empty husk of the Knight.
'Unknown Difficulty, no healing, no retreat… crap, this dungeon is risky as hell' Izuku closes his eyes to collect himself. "This job change quest can't be underestimated… this isn't like a normal dungeon, so I don't know how many hours or weeks it could take to clear it. Oh, plus, no heal…"
Izuku's heart drops into his stomach. 'wait, did I do my daily quest this morning?'
'I better get this finished quickly.' Izuku would chuckle at his fate if he did not do his daily quest. 'centipede prey' as he likes to call it.
Izuku walks down the hall before stealing himself as he heard the moving of armor. He holds up his torch and the light bounce off a wall of knights moving his way. 'enough worrying about centipedes, I have bigger issues.' Izuku throws the torch forward, making the knights dodge it before Izuku comes in with his fists. He hits the first Knight making its chest piece crumble from the hit. The Knight was thrown back into a second knight, making them both shoot down the hall. The other two turn back to see their buddies get knocked away, distracted. Izuku jumps forward, attacking one with a flat head helmet. Izuku does the logical thing and stomps the helmet flat. The sound of metal flattening was music to Izuku's ears. Izuku jumps off of the Knight's shoulders and attacks the next one. Wrapping his arm around its head and interlocking his fingers together. Izuku twists his body and squeezing his arms. The helmet of the Knight crushes under Izuku's strength just as he rips the helmet off its body.
"If I can't cut them, I'll just target where bones would be" Izuku throws the broken helmet to the side.

Izuku kneels down, checking the armor before smiling. "There's a few that dropped decent items, at least."

A pouch made to carry money.

Izuku opens his character page and places the armor on. "It's great that armor-type items don't force you to show their design…" Izuku watches as the armor looks transparent before disappearing altogether, leaving him in his black hoodie. "I wonder if it will really defend me even if it's manifested in reality," Izuku rubs his neck gently.
He grabs the next thing on the floor.
[Item: Leather Pouch]

You have received [30,000 gold]
Izuku holds the pouch out and chuckling. "Small pouch for 30,000 gold."
[Total Gold: 863,400G]
Izuku's arm and the blade go up first before his eyes follow, stabbing what looks like a cloth knight through its head.
! Alarm
[You Have Slain A Knight!]
"Stealth?" Izuku grits his teeth as the body fell over. Izuku hears something whizzing towards him 'there are even monsters with stealth?' He turns sideways, letting what looks like a fireball shoot past him, and he looks down the hallway. 'a magician this time? Moreover, it uses fire magic… the thing looks like a grim reaper' The magician's hand stretches out, sparking up another attack while the hood covers its face in shadows.
"Stealth, and then it looks like the fire shot Hawn used." Izuku's eyes harden. 'it's like it's replaying the dungeons I've already thought' More knights begin to appear, and Izuku's eyes softly glow. "This place is harder than I thought" Izuku goes on the attack while watching. 'Different types of monsters than just one. Each making me use different stats to take them down.'
'Strength for knights, Sense for Assassins, agility for archers and vitality for magicians.' Izuku analyzes everything quickly, knowing he wouldn't have time later. Izuku shot through the enemies killing each of them with his different stats only to come out panting on the other side. "The longer this goes on, the worse it will get for me."
[Fatigue: 66]
Izuku sits down and leans his back against the wall once he was alone. 'I'll have to close my eyes for a while and lower that before it becomes a problem' Izuku's head snaps up, and he catches a silver head arrow aimed for his head. He glares down the hallway seeing black and gold armor holding a bow with a quiver on it's back. "They're not giving me a chance to rest." The arrow in Izuku's hand snaps as sweat rolls down Izuku's cheek. "Fine, let's go."
Izuku pants and opens the leather pouch after killing every enemy in sight.
[Item: Leather Pouch]
Has been opened.
[20,000 Gold]
[Water Bottle filled with lukewarm water]
Has been opened
Izuku throws the water bottle back, drinking the lukewarm water before breathing out. Putting the water back into his inventory before checking his equipment.
"I leveled up a bit and gathered items. Lowering my fatigue, so I need to start moving to the next area…"
[Item:] (Class)
Warden's Necklace (A)
High Knight's Chest Plate (B)
High Knight's Gauntlet (B)
Archers' Gloves (C)
High Magician's Ring (B)
Assassin's boots (B)
Each item lights up before disappearing, leaving Izuku in his everyday attire. 'god that's useful.'
Izuku walks down the empty hallway to a massive door. "Even after leveling up this much, I can't comprehend the kill of whatever is behind this door" The entrance looks like an enormous shield and ruby red stone in the middle.
'boss room.'
Izuku pushes the doors open as Izuku felt a chilliness roll down his spine. He walks into the hall and looks ahead. "A king's throne room?" Izuku asks no one as he looks around. It was empty, and so was the throne. The sound of metal hitting the stone floor makes Izuku's heart race. His eyes, ears, and fingers felt a rush of blood before the feeling of dread comes over him.
Izuku watches a knight in blood-red armor stand at the side of the throne. The cloak was attached to its shoulders, and Izuku couldn't help the words going through his head. 'god, he looks badass.'

Izuku stares at the Knight, wanting to laugh. 'I'm going to get my ass kicked' The Knight pulls his sword out of his sheath.
[BLOOD-RED COMMANDER IGRIS]
The name was in blood red, which was fitting. The knights' silver eyes stare into Izuku's burning blue eyes as they standoff. 'A dark red name, yeah. He is definitely different from anyone else' Izuku bent his knees some. "A Knight That Protects The Empty Throne" Izuku watches the knight walk down the stairs dragging his large sword down the stairs, the scrapping of the blade on the throne floor sounding like the screams of the men the Knight have killed in battle.
'Here he comes,' Izuku's sweatdrops as the red Knight rushes forward faster than any other enemy Izuku has had the pleasure of facing. Izuku drops into a low crouch as the knights' sword aims for his throat. The pillars on the sides of Izuku were demolished as the air rushes over Izuku. His eyes widen. 'he cut the pillars like sushi!? What an insanely strong bastard!' Izuku rushes forward, plunging his dagger against the Knight's ribcage only for the blade to slide right off it. 'tsk! It's not penetrating; what was I expecting'.
The Knight's movement made Izuku look upwards, the long sword was being swung downward. Izuku could see the power behind the swing as he barely dodges the blade. The sword hits the floor, and the fighters are blinded by dirt. The sword kicked up rock and dust. Izuku used the cloud of dirt to jump away, only having to dodge a sword halfway through the air. The blood knight kept up with him. Izuku lands in a low crouch behind the Knight as he stares at the knights cloaked back.
Sweat rolls off Izuku's chin while he grits his teeth. His once fluffy hair was matted down by sweat, Izuku breaths out to calm himself. 'The armor's speed reduction is only applied if your strength is below 80. This guy's strength is definitely over 80! Its destructiveness is definitely higher than mine.' The Knight turns to Izuku as its silver eyes staring at him, and the same for agility. His armor can block my dagger, which means even his defense is higher. Can I even beat him?' Izuku stands up and sighs. "I don't think I can win without a weapon, but…" Izuku lets the dagger demetallize. "If I can't penetrate the armor, I can't deal any damage…" Izuku curls his hands into fists while glaring at the Knight. "This is the only way to win this" Izuku cracks his knuckles. 'or I die.'
The Knight tilts his head some as he watches Izuku. The Knight slams his blade down into the floor, making it stick straight up. He reaches up, unclasping the cloak from his armor, letting it fall to the floor before reaching to his belt and letting his two daggers fall to the floor. Soon the two opponents stand across from each other weaponless.
"Chivalry?" Izuku questions it at first but then smiles. "Once a knight always a knight." Izuku grins. The Knight rushes forward, Izuku tries to backpedal, but he was too late. The Knight hits Izuku's chest, sending him backward and upward, slamming into the wall cracking the entire thing. Izuku couldn't recover before the Knight jumped upwards and punches at his chest. Izuku crosses his arms in an attempt to block the attack.
Izuku was able to slide away from the attack at the last second, making the Knight crumble the wall. Izuku lands behind the Knight again, panting. 'I guarded that hit, but it feels like I lost 500 health!' Izuku's arm brushing and might have been broken. 'if I didn't have armor the…' Izuku lost his thoughts as the Knight walks out of the kicked up dust. 'I won't come out alive if I keep taking direct hits, ' Izuku steels himself, knowing the Knight was insanely strong even without his sword. 'How do I put up a decent fight against this monster?'
'I still have my speed.'

-movement speed will increase by 30%.
-1 Mana will be consumed every minute.
Izuku rushes forward, aiming for a body shot. As he throws his fist forward, he saw the Knight come down with its elbow hitting Izuku's forearm and knocking his fist away. 'shit' Both Knight and Izuku square up and go punch for punch. Using strength and speed to beat the other. They break, but the Knight follows through and hit Izuku hard, making him spin through the air.
! Alarm
-As your health has dropped below 30%,

As Izuku's body was spinning, he sticks his foot out, connecting with the Knight's head. 'I Can't GIVE UP!' The Knight's head moves slightly before its silver eye looks down at Izuku. 'no way…'
The Knight grabs Izuku's ankle before using his free arm and batting Izuku across the throne room. Izuku's body slams against the wall above the throne, creating a crater above the throne. He falls off the wall, landing on the throne. Slumps over and both arms were broken. His hoodie was trashed and arms both turning black from being beaten on. "Ha… ha… haha…" Izuku pants and blood leaks from his mouth. Izuku's body was leaning forward as he stares at the floor.
The Knight opens his hand, calling on his sword. It flies across the throne room into its grasp. The Knight swings his sword looking to decapitate Izuku. The sword comes down only to be stopped by Izuku's hand. A soft glow of the High Knight's Gauntlet on Izuku's hand as he held the blade. A loud shockwave sends dust away from the fighters as Izuku glares upwards while still sitting on the throne.
"I… HAVEN'T…" A blue hue comes from Izuku's hand as he manifests his dagger. "LOST YET!" Izuku moves quickly, slamming the knife threw the slits in the helmet, shoving the tip of the blade through the knights' eye. The Knight stumbles backward, and Izuku moves. He wraps his arms around the knights' stomach before slamming the Knight into the wall. The Knight rips the blade out of its eye.
'I won't hand this item over to anyone else.' Izuku glares and calls his dagger back. The Knight didn't have a weapon anymore. Izuku calls it back to his own hand as he screams before driving the dagger upwards through the Knight's neck. The blade didn't sink in all the way, making Izuku growl. 'It's shallow! A bit more!'
Izuku activates the same skill four times in a row to finish the Knight off.
[Vital Stike] Lv. 1

Izuku shoves the blade through the Knights jaw as he was face to face with the Knight's face gritting his teeth and eyes burning blue. "DIE!" The edge sinks deeper into the helmet, and Izuku watches the knight's eyes dull.
The Knight's eyes went dark, and the body slumps down. Izuku backs away, still in a defensive position, just in case as he watches the dead knight's armor.
