Deranium City

Kai managed to stay alive inside the monster's labyrinth. The difficult circumstances he was in, as well as the fact that he was about to die, helped him to strengthen his body and learn some skills that would be useful in the near future.

...

He gradually opened his eyes and noticed the blue elevated screen in front of him that illuminated his face.

"I passed out again? Hmm... It's because I depleted my stamina from fighting 14 goblins and 5 Kobolds," he mused inwardly, enduring the mild pain on the back of his head.

At first, he can barely read the context so he rubbed his eyes to clear his vision.

[Great! Advancing to the next floor you could see there the exit!]

[You've finished the tutorial!]

[Welcome to the New Realm!]

"Is this true?! I can now leave this place?!"

With the extreme excitement arising inside his chest, he can't be helped to push himself into a stood-up position and plan to advance to the next floor.

But before that, he looked at the environment and saw the five kobolds lying on the freezing surface. Of course, he took their cores, knowing the monster's tough scale could be useful in a different way. Why? It was because he can eat the core and take the monster's skill.

Back in the game, the cores were used to sell in the market to have profits and be able to buy new items. Well, it was his opinion, at the same time, his guts saying those cores were valuable.

"New Realm? Does it mean a new world? I think it's way better for me if used all my free attributes since I do not know what are the things await me outside of this dungeon."

Without making any second thoughts, he opened the function screen so that he could see his available free attributes and skill points.

•[Slash] (0/3)

•[Thorn Dash] (0/4)

•[Core manifestation] (0/20)

[Copied skill(s)]

•[Panther Walk] (0/3)

At this point, he should select one of his skills to level up. Why? It was because when he was fighting the Kobolds, he noticed that his attack wasn't punctured very well.

"The only thing I can upgrade right now is my [Slash] skill. I should conserve more of my skill points since I don't have an idea when I would have it again." He muttered seriously, then clicked the [+] on the elevated screen.

[Ding!]

[Slash]>>[ Strike Level 2]- one-handed or two-handed sword. It can inflict 105 based damage up to 130 damage it is critical. Critical 2.5%, Precision 75%. Cost: 3 stamina.

It looked like upgrading the skill could also shorten the cost of stamina. At the same time, by simply looking at it, he can easily tell that his attack was even way more dangerous.

After settling his floating screens, he removed them all. He then stood up in front of the boulder to try his new attack.

He clenched his sword with both hands, then swung it downward.

[Strike!]

Swish! Swish!

Boom!

And all of a sudden, the rocks shattered into pieces after Kai sliced the boulder multiple times. Although the boulder was solid, still, it was just like a paper for Kai's sword.

"This is amazing... I should upgrade more of my skills." He said in an excited tone.

Soon, Kai immediately advanced to the next floor where he could find the exit. Nevertheless, he was still not lowering his guards knowing that there was a possibility monster would approach him.

"It was a simple straight path, there's no chance I can't find the exit here."

After walking for almost ten minutes, he already saw from afar the huge gate and the weak sunlight coming from the gate ledges.

[You have reached the safe zone! The monster could not step up in this area!]

No wonder, his life was not on the verge of death. He smiled with relief before adding these words. "After that experience, I came back alive!"

Swoosh!

He dashed towards the gate, then pushed it with his all might, didn't care even someone was standing behind this gate.

This is it!

Suddenly, his eyes were dazzled after touching the sunlight. Well, it was an ordinary occurrence after staying in the dark for a long time.

"I'm free!"

When his vision got back to its original state, he saw the two guards standing on each post. They were wearing silver-plated armor, holding keen spears, and both of them looked like American citizens.

Aside from that, he noticed around him was different creatures staring at him with their curious eyes, high establishments, and a fountain in front of him. Or to be exact, it seemed like he was now located in the middle of this huge city.

"Hey? Where is this place? I never remember that I went to this place before." He said inwardly as he was aware because he shouted he piqued their attention.

To describe them, all of them wore leather armors or metal armors, held different kinds of weapons, wearing huge bags that looked like they were going camping for several months. Yet, the thing that caught his attention was their outward appearance since some of them were looking like a human wolves. While the others had the ears of rabbits, foxes, cats, and even dogs.

"Hybrid? They were also the human beings that had the parts of animals. But why? Why all of them are in this place!" Kai was confused.

Well, it was great that he had an idea of what kind of creatures were around him. However, it wasn't enough to answer all the questions inside his head.

$&#%&#

*#%&!

%&&#&...

Yes, Kai could not understand the words that came from the creatures around them. "Ahhh! What the hell they were saying?! I can't understand a single one of them!"

But based on their expression, it appeared this man went crazy because of the dungeon.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The two guards went to his location as they were going to ask Kai why he was doing alone in twenty storage dark tower.

#%%#&?

At first, Kai didn't know how he was going to respond to their words as they were using a different language that he had never heard before. But the scene changed as soon as the screen give him a new message.

[Welcome to the Deranium City! You will adopt their native language!]

"Hey, young man! What are doing inside the Deranium tower alone? Where are your teammates?" One of the guards asked him nonchalantly?

"Eh? I-I don't have any teammates! I am just by myself." Kai stuttered to reply.

"This is bad! Come on, Brando! Help me to bring this man to the infirmary, I think he lost his mind after exiting the tower!" The guard ordered before adding these words. "After that, go to the Adventurer's Quarters to know his identity. Don't worry, young man! You will be fine!"

Wait!

Wait!

Let me speak!

I didn't lost my mind!
