Skeleton Mage
Kai thought that he can recall some of his memories when he was putting the free attributes. But truth was, he just knew his parents' faces, aside from that, he had no idea what he was like to them. It appeared that his mind was giving him basic information to enlighten him in the world he was standing in.
Sitting on the chair, wearing the black VR helmet that was the only thing cleared for him...

In his grasp was the torch, releasing enough light to brighten the area he was walking. Kai was kept moving in order to leave this dungeon and eat some food as he felt a bit hungry.
Well, he didn't take any kind of food so it was natural to feel something like this. Also, despite a hard time, he was going through in this dungeon, Kai was impressive as he didn't drink water that could help to replenish his strength.
In front of him was the brown door, so he was expecting that there was a monster's existence once he entered. He raised his guard, by just simply clasping his sword with his left hand before slowly pushing the door.
The sound of the rusty door slowly opening went to his ears. Nevertheless, Kai continued to enter as it was the only choice he had right now.
"There's no turning back... I should always make concrete a decision and plan to survive my life here." He said in a deep tone.
Bam!
His feet were stepping on the second-floor surface, noticing that the size of this place was way smaller than the first floor. Yet, he doesn't pay too much attention to it as the monster here has already approached him by creating a strong explosion next to him.
Boom!
The explosion shook the entire complex and made the ground crumble. Of course, he was aware that would happen as he saw different light before the skill took the place.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
He dove to the dried ground, then immediately concealed his presence behind the boulder that can be found on this floor.
"Skeleton mage? I'm just thinking about that earlier and it will already come to me?" He said in a curious tone, at the same time, well savvied with the power spikes can deal by these monsters.
[Skeleton mage] - this type of monster is allowed to use elemental magic like fire, cold, lightning, and something poison in combat. It can deal +69 damage in a direct hit up to +90 damage when it gets critical.
And all of a sudden, the screen about the monster's information he was facing. Furthermore, he already saw the fire element of this monster so some thoughts went to his mind of how he was going to avoid the attack.
"The one was using fire element, but my current here is, the other three skeletons are still not using their skills. It's way better to be more careful."
He was talking to himself while finding an answer to pull off this situation. However, it seemed the monsters were not giving him enough time to think as Kai see the red-orange light illuminating his precise location.
Swoosh!
By this, it forced him to quickly swift his position so he would not receive any type of damage from their attacks.
Boom!
The triangular shape boulder scattered all over the place and it created a thin smoke but sufficient to wouldn't see they were chasing.
"Two monsters are using fireballs." He said in a serious tone, then took a glance at the confused monsters before he continued. "I have to reveal the abilities of those remaining monsters before I try to fight back."
His plan changed unexpectedly. At this point, he must reveal his presence on the battlefield to force the monsters to attack him. In his mind, if he got the idea of what their skills looked like, it was easy for him to dodge their attacks.
He was running on the vast platform, luring the monsters to the side where the monsters can find him and would use their skills.
"Oi! Oi! Oi! I'm here!" He was waving his hands over his head while jumping a bit so that he could easily pique the monsters' attention.
Eehk!
Eehk!
The two monsters were showing their abilities were now groaning aggressively as they spotted the man 30 meters away from them.
But first thing first, the skeletons' outward appearance was just similar to the Skeleton warrior he fought earlier. The only thing different them was that were wearing ripped brown robes that seemed signified to their ability.
The two monsters noticed him as they were running closer to him, to meet the exact distance before they used their magic.
He looked to the right side and saw the other two monsters were utilizing [Fireball] skill were 75 meters away from him. In his opinion, in that distance, the monsters were unable to reach him even they used their magic.
"These monsters are not my problem right. I should focus first by revealing their element."
Suddenly, Kai was standing in the middle of the platform while gulping his saliva and having sweaty hands. He was doing this to provoke the monsters, at the same time, he wanted to know how long it takes their casting duration.
[Lightning strike!]
From above, he saw 2 one-meter radius clouds unexpectedly appear. Based on its looks, he already had an idea of what was supposedly happening next.
Swoosh!
He quickly changed his position, knowing the monsters can't manipulate the lightning where it would go. Or to be more precise, when the clouds were fixed in a certain position, the lightning would hit where the clouds were pointed.
Boom!
And once again, a strong explosion happened on the second floor. The lightning was strong enough to burn the target or might be paralyzed.
"9 seconds that is the exact time before they can release the lightning. While the fireball needs 5 seconds."
In a just blink of an eye, Kai easily discovered the casting duration of each monster. Luckily, none of the monsters had to ability to inflict poison as he knew it was hard to deal with that type of monster.
To begin with. As soon as the monsters gave an idea of when their skills would come out, he didn't make any second thoughts to charge towards the monsters.
The distance between him and the monsters was around 20 meters. Nevertheless, he was aware that he could reach them in just 3.5 seconds it was the average man's speed running in 20 meters. That means the skeletons were needed 5.5 seconds to release their attacks.
Swoosh!
He gripped his sword with both hands, then cast the [Thorn dash] skill into a closer monster up to the monster next to it. By doing this, he can increase his damage by 65%, aside from that, he was aware that the skeleton mage was weak in close combat.
Swoosh!
The blue light was released by his sword while dashing. And as soon as he put a stack against the skeleton, he stabbed them their magical core. To be exact, he didn't care even he can't collect the monster's core from them without knowing their worth.
Swish! Swish!
Two monsters fell to the ground in an instant and saw the others monsters close their distance within 35 meters. "I have 5 seconds before the stack of [Thorn dash] skill disappear]." He said aggressively.
Swoosh!
[Fireball!]
[Fireball!]
Two fireballs were coming him at once, hence, he could see that there was nothing to worry about as he was aware his speed was increasing because of the [Thorn Dash] passive effect.
Boom! Boom!
Two large consecutive explosions occurred in his behind. "This is will be the end!"
Swish! Swish!
And again, he directly stabbed the monsters' cores and all the skeletons were turning into smoke and vanished like a bubble.

"That's a quick one..." He wiped the sweat dripping in his temple before adding these words. "I have to continue this raid. But please, don't tell me that the dungeon boss here is Litch"
Kai was suspecting something in this situation as the skeleton mage was already shown in this dungeon raid.
But first of all, Kai should find some food in this dungeon before his body was naturally weakened by exhaustion.
Kai went to the next floor...
