Cave? I thought it was a Castle?

"System I am ready, please activate the Job Promotion Quest Scroll"

"Confirmed Activating the Job Promotion Quest, Good Luck"

[You've accepted the Job Promotion Quest]

"This is it" A change occurred in the space in front of him.

A tiny black hole appeared before his eyes, this was just the beginning. From the size of a coin, it grew larger and larger distorting the space. A large black portal opened.

"This is it, there is no turning back now" I stepped forward entering the portal. I entered the portal full of anticipation. Contrary to my expectations, it wasn't what he expected.

Rather than a medieval palace like it was on the webtoon, what lies before the portal was a large cave. The walls are decorated with torches give faint light to the dark cave.

Let's face it torches are not that effective source of light. No matter how many they are, it wasn't enough to illuminate this dark tunnel.

Those flickering lights are producing many shadows. The combination of the shadows and the silence produced a very dreary atmosphere, it feels like the calm before the storm in those horror films where monsters will suddenly appear one by one then swarm you all over.

"DLC found, do you wish to download [ID Create: Undead Knight's Castle]" The system suddenly prompt a message allowing me to regain my composure.

This is the first time I'm hearing this "System can you elaborate what is a DLC"

"DLC or Downloadable Content is a special ID that can only be acquired when teleporting to a special terrain separated from the main dimension"

"Then I agree, download [ID Create: Undead Knight's Castle]. Wait? Castle does this look like a castle?"

[In this area, your Potions and Shop ability is restricted. During level uos you will not receive any status healing]

"This is unexpected, but no worries"

Then

I saw a walking armor towards me. "Seems like the so-called castle is further inside the cave, so I dashed forward forming a fist striking its chest plate shattering the Knight. Just like the heads of the hydra cut one then two more will grow in its place.

Slowly as I progress further, more and more monsters spawned it began with a couple of Undead Knights then Undead Mage & Undead Assassins appeared more often.

After a few more fights here and there I finally reached the castle's hallways.

The loot drops are not that impressive so I decided to keep them inside my inventory to sell later.

'Whoosh'

A fire ball narrowly managed to graze my as I was able to dodge in the last minute. Truly troublesome lowering my guard, even if the monsters here are weak they still do a fair amount of damage. I can't get anymore distracted or it my cost me my life.

I sprinted towards the Undead Mage dodging its spells. I stopped a few steps away from it. "Take this!" I shouted as I embedded my arms inside its none existent abdomen.

[You have slain an Undead Mage]

I jump up to dodge the rain of arrows from my left. A group of Undead Archers and Knights are charging towards me. They're equipment seems a little better compared to those weaklings earlier but still not enough to catch my attention.

I managed to reached the end, a gigantic door decorated magnificently. "The throne room, I guess this is where the boss resides" Deep breathes as I pushed the door with my tiny hands.

(A/N: Don't forget he's still 10 years old)

Inside was an empty throne and at the right is a Knight wearing crimson armor and blood red cape holding the handle of its sword.

He slowly unsheated the sword, step by step he walks down the stairs that elevate the throne. Above his head is a light orange name [ Blood-Red Commander Igris ]. If I remember correctly his name is supposed to be dark red, maybe the ranking of the monster depends on its threat level to me not pre-graded.

A knight that protects the throne awaiting for his kings return.

It stopped then raised his sword slashing vertically clearly aiming for my neck. I ducked downwards then jump to kick his chestplate. "I'm clearly at a disadvantage to this giant" If only my body wasn't small.

Our Dodge-Attack fight continued as he slashed the stone pillars like paper. I kept on doing the same tactic dodge then hit him at the same spot, I'm making progress as cracks started to appearing on his armor.

Shit! I let my guard down again. In a split second he manage to appear in front of me punching me with full force sending me to the pavement creating a large spider web like crack.

Fuck that hurts! Cough! I coughed out a mouth full of blood shit my torso felt sore. Shit! I quickly repositioned my self barely dodging a follow up punch. I need to end this quickly, aim for the head.

HP: 1396/2150

MP: 1300/1300

Fatigue: 36

My health is almost half I got think of something fast. Then it came, a familiar system prompt.

"Skill [Close Combat Mastery (A)] ( Weakened ) has been promoted to [Close Combat Mastery (S)]"

That's it, my fighting style became smoother it felt like it was a part of me, Instead of dodging Igris's attacks I instead redirected them using his own power then bashing his helmet with a straight jab.

One last move I stole his great sword and raised it to the air. "DIE!" I shouted as I pierce his chest with his sword. Then I kept bashing him, I won't stop till I hear it.

"You have slain [ Blood-Red Commander Igris ] " and there it is the system message now where is my loot. I looked at the things that I found.

Then I another portal started to distort the space becoming larger and larger.

[ The Job Promotion Quest Will Begin ]

[ The longer you last, the more points you can collect that will place you into a High-Tier Job ]

Then a timer appeared and from the portal monsters started appearing. "Sigh! I'm already too tired I'll deal with this later" I raised my hand high up in the air "[ ID Create: Empty ]" the monsters disappeared. I'm too tired lemme sleep.

Thud*

I fell flat on the ground half-asleep.
