It took a while.
Ahh, I had such a good sleep.. is what I wish I could say but that would be a lie. Ignoring the fact that I'm sleeping on a hard and flat surface, it was cold as hell.
Well, that's enough complaining for today, it's time to check up on the cerberus.
"Oh, what?" I was surprised to see that the cerberus wasn't breathing anymore. Did someone kill it while I was asleep.
"Please, I put way too much effort into it to just have my kill stolen like that." I attempted to feel the mana in the area to see if the bastartd who took my experience is nearby.
"Whoa! Did I always have such a large mana sense range?" I doubt it. I've used the skill a few times before, but the range was never higher than 30 meters, and now I could feel everything about 200 meter around me.
Oh, I need to check my stats. I think my manipulators finished it off while I was asleep. If that is the case, does that mean that while I'm asleep gaining massive amounts of levels doesn't cause me to have a mental breakdown? That could be pretty overpowered.
Before opening my stats I checked a few more things. First of all, I definitely felt a lot more powerful even though I haven't invested my skillpoints into anything yet.

I was, quite frankly, shocked to see this. Also, now that my level is high enough I can actually see my full status without the plate, so that's handy.
As tempted as I am to start getting my stats higher, I wasnt to check one thing first.
I pressed the button labelled [balance], and my stats changed slightly.

"Oh, that's neat." My max energy, health, and mana got reduced by 100 and a new skill appeared.
It was quite an eyesore, because the number didn't match with the level, but now it looks perfect and I got a new title. I don't even need to check what it does, since it's quite obvious just by the name.
Also, I have no Idea how to evolve a skill, so that will have to wait.
"Now then, it's time to get overpowered." I said and started putting my free skill points to use.

I mainly put points into strengths and agility, then intelligence because that makes your titles and skills better, movement speed for obvious reasons, and the rest I put into stamina so that I could endure a long fight if I need to.

Since the walls in this dungeon are indestructable, I can't really test out my new powers yet, so the best way is by going to the next floor. This time, I should have the upper hand for sure.
I took all of the cerberus' blood, which was basically water. Thanks to my high level I also have a ton of inventory space now, so that's super convenient.
All is great, but there is one thing bugging me, and that's my amount of clothes, which is currently equal to zero. All of my clothes were burnt by the cerberus, so I need something to wear. I didn't want to skin you, but I really don't want to be naked anymore, so this is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
While I was cutting up his hide, I realised that I was doing it with no trouble at all, so by the looks of things leveling up also increases my dexterity, though that stat isn't something I can put points into, much like magic resistance.
"This is god-tier armor." I said as i put on the cerberus' fur. Well, it's tecnically not armor but it still gives more protection than anything I've seen anyone wear so far.
What makes thing more interesting is that I only cleared the first floor, and there are 9 more floors full of beasts for me to massacre. My hands were itching to get going, so I jumped straight into the elevator and pressed [2].
The familliar spooky scene played out, with the alarm noice and red flashing. It sore does get me in the mood for some murder, even though it's not people who I'm hunting.

The door opened and the sight before my eyes was quite wonderful, and disturbing at the same time. Instead of ground, the room was a lake full of bright green liquid. I don't need to take any guesses to figure out what it is. It's acid. There were huge flat mushrooms, which looked like the only way to get around.
Flying wasn't that much of an option since the ceiling was covered in poisonous gas from the acid, which flew into the air and is now muched up there. It wouldn't be so bad if I could jump from une mushroom to the other, but my physical abilities are quite limited since I still only have one leg attached to me. The other leg, which was torn of, has been completely incinerated by the wall of flames, so I have no way of attaching it back to myself.
I looked around a bit more, before juming onto the closest giant mushroom, with the assistance of a manipulator, of course.
