''Finally is time for some action, I have wasted my time since I came here, by this time other players should be at level 3, I need to catch up as quickly as possible...It is about time for my legend to start.'' James said as he sheathed his katana and wore his blindfold to reduce the soul power trying to burst out of his body to the bare minimum.

'Hmm so defeating a Level 1 monster as a level 0 will give me 15 exp.'James thought to himself after killing two level 1 goblins.
After sorting out his rewards and adjusting a bit to his strength, James came to the Forest of Wonders which spawned monsters from level 1 to level 30. The forest was divided into sections that spawned monsters in particular levels. James was in the section which spawned monsters from level 1 to level 10. This Forest of Wonders was full of monsters of the soldier-level class.
'These low-level monsters of the soldier class will not be enough to re-enact my previous life's sword skills. I need a challenge, without the repeated performance of the skills, the system won't recognize them as a skill.'James thought to himself as he walked towards two level 1 soldier-class goblins.
The goblins rushed at him with their clubs as he reached a 5 meters range in front of them.
Screech!! Whoosh
The air split apart as the goblins went straight for James's head with their clubs.
Clang!! James blocked the attack as he sent a counter of his own.
Slash. Slash. Slash
[Ding!!! The goblin soldier has lost -35 HP.]
[Ding!!! The goblin soldier has lost -35 HP.]
[Ding!!! The goblin soldier has lost -35 HP.]
[Ding!!!15 exp obtained for killing the goblin soldier.]
Slash. Slash. Slash
[Ding!!! The goblin soldier has lost -35 HP.]
[Ding!!! The goblin soldier has lost -35 HP.]
[Ding!!! The goblin soldier has lost -35 HP.]
]Ding!!!15 exp obtained for killing the goblin soldier. ]
The same message rang twice after killing the two goblins. James obtained another 30 exp from killing the goblins.
'Something is missing, my attack power is supposed to be 40 Points but somehow after attacking these goblins, I could only use 35 points'' James contemplated on his current situation.
'I see.....it seems I have underestimated the value of skills in this game. It is already a huge feat being able to deal this much damage with a simple sword slash. Let me look for some more prey'' James said as he wandered around.
James arrived in front of the entrance of a cave.
[Ding!!! You have discovered a hidden dungeon: Goblins Hold.]
------------------------------------

|____________________________________
'Dangerous level difficulty' James said to the system.
[Ding!!! Request Processed]
(A/N: Even I am shocked by James' stupidity. SMH.)
[Ding!!! Dangerous-level beasts have an empowered defense than their usual counterparts. You will have to be prepared for anything.]
[Ding!!! The penalty for failure will be a two-day ban from the game]
[Ding!!! Prepare for transportation]
The system said as James' vision went pitch black.
[Ding!!! Welcome to the Dungeon: Goblins Hold]
James arrived in a weird-looking cave with dim lighting. The air was filled with the scent of dirt as James found himself in a swampy area. Dangerous level dungeons provided the most optimal environment for its monsters which further increased the already high difficulty.
'Huh, all this ''danger this danger that'' is overrated. I laugh in the face of danger.'James thought with a smug look on his face.
Clang!!!
''Fuck!!!"James cursed out loud as he blocked a sudden axe strike. In front of James stood a level 7 goblin soldier who attacked James out of nowhere. Without his always active soul eyes he would have been dead by now.
'I see, I have been taking this leisurely. In my past life even though I had talent it could not compare to my current self. I rose to the top even with that talent so I am becoming complacent after receiving talent of unquantifiable measure in this life, so typical of a human. I need to take this seriously. I have forgotten Lisa is currently dependent on me.'' James thought as his carefree smile disappeared and then was replaced by a serious expression. He removed his blindfold limiting his soul magic.
Slash!!!
-5 HP.
James slashed at the thick-skinned goblin.
'Hmmm? Even my full power strike just nicked it?'James thought as he looked at the stats of the goblin.
''I hope I can use the soul magic this time.'' James thought as he prepared for the inevitable battle.
___________________________
Goblin (Elite Monster)
Earth Type; Humanoid Type
HP: 750
Level: 8

James had his mouth open as he looked at the monster's Stats.
'I have to end this quickly, it seems there are more moving towards me in large numbers, about 10. I thought dungeons spawned the monsters in intervals of maybe 1 or 2. I need to use that from my previous life to increase my damage output.' James thought as he entered a meditative state as he slashed.
Slash!!! Screech
-60
The goblin finally screeched in pain as James slashed at it with his dark-cloaked katana covered with the darkness element.
[Ding!!! You have created a new darkness-type sword skill. Will you like to name it?]
''Hmmm... Abyssal Slash.'' James said as he named his new skill.
[Ding Request Processed]
___________________________
Cooldown:10 seconds.
The goblin entered an enraged state as it started slashing at James with its axe. James continually parried the attacks as the goblin attacked him. One may ask how James was able to even keep up with the level 8 goblin's strength and agility, well we may never know, not yet at least.
Abyssal Slash Abyssal Slash Abyssal Slash Abyssal Slash Abyssal Slash Abyssal Slash.....
-60 -60 -60 -60 -60 -60 -60 -60 -60
James continually parried the attacks and launched counterattack after a counter-attack.
As the HP of the goblin reached 15%, it got closer to its enraged state.
"Earth Bullet"The goblin used its special skill after entering the enraged state. The goblin used the axe to hit the ground to fire bullets made up of earth elemental magic.
''What the fuck?''James as he lost about half of his HP.
''I hope I have enough stamina to use this move'' James said he drew a deep breath and placed his hand on the hilt of Asterix.
''Unlimited Domination Sword Skill: First Form: Asterix Draw," James said as he used the remaining of his Stamina and skill to slash at the enraged goblin.

''Haaaa I was lucky to have unlocked the soul amplification skill or else I would have been dead by now. It is such a waste that I can't fully control my soul magic or I'll be the true definition of overpowered. Hmmm, it seems the rest of the goblins are here. It seems I have to use it for the first time, I hope to see its effect.'' James sighed as the other 10 Elite goblins drew closer to him.
(A/N: James with his improved condition has capped the maximum mana a body can hold per each level. No assigned stat increases mana in this novel, as long as an individual's level goes up, their mana also goes up by a certain factor. There is also nothing like skill points since skills are improved by repetitive usage. The minimum for level 1 is about 100 mana points but James has 200 mana points because of his improved constitution. Please, once again notify me of any errors, rate my book, give constructive comments and vote for my book with your power stones.)
