As soon as I filled my tummy, I went back to shallow sleep.
I awoke the following evening and filled my stomach, and quenched my thirst and answered the nature call.
I spent the following days in a similar manner. If I'm not eating, or answering nature, I'm sleeping.
Truly the holy Trinity.
Sleep, Eat, Shit!
Its hard to come across floors that had food, so I wanted to make the most use of the 5th floor.
Soon 50 days passed. And my Sleep skill leveled up yet again.
I got the chance to choose one more of the beginning three skills.
This time I chose the Digest skill.
Reason?
It was the only skill left out of the three, duh.
I also noticed that shallow sleep no longer gave me Exp for my skill and Mild sleep gave 0.2 Exp for every hour now.
I haven't tried Deep sleep as it's too dangerous at the moment.
So, the efficiency of leveling my Sleep skill decreased drastically.
But there was a pleasant surprise from the newly acquired skill, Digest.
After using the Skill, not only did the experience of the Digest skill increase, the exp of the skill, Enhanced Body also increased.
Apprently, Digest not only helps in easy digestion, but also helps improve your body strength based on what you digest!
****
Digest: LvL 0(1/100)
Can digest any grade 0 food.
****
The description doesn't mention the side benefits of the skill!
I'm elated to know that two of my skills are interlinked. That they could be upgraded mutually!
I stay on the 5th floor for another 50 days, but this time, the order of my schedule has changed.
It's still the holy Trinity.
But the order has changed between Eat and Sleep. The priority being to Eat.
In the middle of this cycle I've been bored of just eating fruits, so I started catching some desert snakes and scorpions to try them out.
I was disgusted to eat them at first, as I didn't know how to cook them. I just over roasted them to make sure they won't cause any harm.
Anyway, with my Digest skill, it isn't hard to digest overcooked food.
Another 30 days passed in a similar manner, but I've started to notice that the food has become scarce and hard to come by.
But I've finally managed to level up both my Digest skill and Enhanced Body Skill to level 1.
It was about time to head into the next floor.
****
Sixth floor, Infinity Dungeon.
The sixth floor was another desert, but it was an endless patch of sand dunes rather than an desert oasis.
The goblins noticed me as soon as I appered, but I was on top of a sand dune, while they were at the base.
I had the high ground!
As they charged at me from below, I pulled knifes out of the 'rotten' bag that hung on my back.
And since I have the high ground, I effortlessly gunned them down with my endless knifes.
My knife throwing skill has become better in the past few days, and the goblins died before they could reach halfway up the dune!
The advantage of high ground is one that is hard to surpass!
****
The seventh floor was the same as sixth, but the positions have changed. Now the goblins were on top of the dunes while I was at the bottom.
I also couldn't find them before they found me, so a suprise attack was out of question.
The odds seemed to have changed as the goblins gained high ground this time.
Luckily, these goblins weren't the smart kind. They charged down the dune towards me, as I retreated towards another dune.
By the time they reached my initial position, I was already half way up another sand dune.
The mindless goblins didn't notice that they had lost their biggest advantage and started charging towards me.
I repeat my actions from last floor and throw knives, but I couldn't finish all of them this time by the time they reached me.
But it was just an extra sidestep and stamp on the face to get the job done.
I rest 10 seconds on the floor, collect all the knives and jump into the portal leading to the next floor.
****
Eight Floor, Infinity Dungeon.
The environment has changed once again.
It was no longer a desert, rather a dark cave.
My vision was pretty good compared to most humans, but it was not enough to see through a dark cave such as this.
I'm almost blinded in this environment.
Moreover, the walls in the cave are quite narrow restricting my movement, and the roof was just tall enough to fit me. I would bump into the roof if I simply did a small jump!
The environment has become more favorable to the small sized goblins all of a sudden.
A sense of threat appeared in my subconscious, but I'm still pretty confident.
This confidence wasn't because I have devised a plan to overcome my current challenge, but rather something that happened naturally due to being confident since my birth.
You know the saying,
Keep hammering and you will eventually master craftsmanship.
I'm going through one such philosophy at the moment.
And when dealing with unfamiliar situations like this, being confident helps a ton!
