Arin Valtor [4]

"Etna!, how has it been?"

Etna, the maid, replied with a concerned look.

"I'm... Fine."

Arin immediately noticed her concern, but he slipped it off anyways, and patted her shoulder, composing her immediately.

Etna was surprised when he suddenly putted a hand in her shoulder, she was flustered.

"It's fine, i'm alive, after all... I should've died though, it was a miracle."

Ashin, with her hands placed on her waist, and letting out a exclaimed voice, after completely relaxing herself what had happened earlier.

"Hah!, i wonder if it's a miracle, you're just built different!, that's all i've gotta say!"

Arin chuckled softly by her playfulness.

"I see, I'm built different?, that's nice."

'But first, i've got to be stronger, I'm currently level 16 at my current status, i have to locate mid-ranking dungeons.'

He looked down at Etna, and patted her head gently.

"I'll have to leave, i'll come home for Tommorow alright?"

Ashin whimpered when he was going to come home in the next day.

"Awhh!, come on!, i want you to act as a big brother to both me and Etna!"

Arin casually let out a warm wide smile, also patting Ashin with his right hand.

"Don't worry, i'll come back... Stronger."

"Hmph!, make sure of it!"

Afterwards, Arin left the hotel, waving goodbye at his childhood friends, back in the town, excluding Ashin, he has never encountered her for years, and only has spoke to her, once back in the rural town.

"System, where will an V-Ranking Dungeon appear?"

{} {} {}

{Report, an V-Ranking Dungeon will appear exactly 8 kilometers away, nearby an alleyway, within 20 minutes, it will appear.}

{} {} {}

"System, guide me."

{} {} {}

{Take a right.}

{} {} {}

He took a right turn to a road.

{} {} {}

{Take a left...}

{} {} {}

Then the system kept guiding him to his destination, until it perfectly showed up within 20 minutes, exactly at 1:20.

"Man, I couldn't sleep..."

He sighed deeply, but he invented something.

"System, convert Tiredness to Energy."

{} {} {}

{Using the Skill: Converter.}

{Extracting Tiredness into Energy...}

{Success.}

{} {} {}

Arin was immediately boosted by an immense pleasure of energy, like he had slept for 10 hours straight without anyone disturbing.

"Alright!, let's go!"

He entered the purple-looking portal, going straight ahead into the dungeon.

[...]

Within the dungeon, there was lanterns everywhere, probably support for the missionaries to gain more area of visibility (Light.)

{} {} {}

{Warning.}

{W Ranked beast incoming.}

{} {} {}

He immediately pulled out his sword on the scabbard of his right waist, and injected his Sanguine Pyrokinesis to it, making the sword have buff gain.

"Come out."

Then the beast came in, equal that to a bear but fierce and deadly, and attacking immediately without a second thought, but thanks to Arin's precision, he sliced through the Beasts chest without any problems.

"Slithering Sanguine."

The beast fell to the ground, with a large thud because of it's large body.

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<16 → 17>

{} {} {}

"I see, it seems to be getting slower."

Then he kept slicing every monsters he encounters, thanks to the systems warning signal, it knows where it would attack.

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<20 → 23>

{You have reached X-Rank!}

{} {} {}

He took a sigh of relief when he finally reached a new rank.

"Good, X-Rank eh?, I'm guessing the rankings are alphabetical."

He looked up at the sleeping boss of the dungeon, it's exoskeleton made out of hard tungsten, and it's flesh being famous to be 'Impossibly scratched.'

After all, to Arin's eyes, it was just a mere beast to him, with his patience lowering, he threw the sword, with the buff still active even getting released.

It hitted the forehead of the beast, crushing it's brain, skull, flesh, exoskeleton immediately.

He was stunned by his power.

"Oh... Wow."

{} {} {}

{Sanguine Pyrokinesis Leveled up to 2!}

{Knight's Sword Leveled up to 4!}

{You have Leveled up!}

<23 → 27>

{} {} {}

"Woah!, that's a huge level up!"

He was amazed, with going up to 4 levels, alongside his Sanguine Pyrokinesis, and Knight's Sword Leveling up, he couldn't help to feel more compassionate and prideful.

"Alright!, i'll have to go to another portal again i guess, a quite formidable one atleast."

He walked out of the dungeon, whilst everything was falling into debris, due to the Boss's core broken that has been keeping the Dungeon in it's shape.

[...]

Arin finally exited the Portal, and watches it disappear right Infront of his very own eyes.

"Majestic... Anyways–"

{} {} {}

{New update: Mission.}

{Mission: Break Down 10 Dungeons within the time remaining.}

{5 hours}

{} {} {}

"Ahaha... This system can make missions now?"

He was anxious about his first mission, but went in anyways.

[...]

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<27 → 31>

{You have reached W-Rank!}

{} {} {}

Cleared dungeon after dungeon, portal after portal, it seemed like he was just farming nonstop without any breaks, but in reality, he was struggling a little by some hordes that tried to gang up on him to defeat him.

But with his strength and agility high enough to surpass them, he fiercely slashed through every single beasts there is, and afterwards, the boss.

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<31 → 38>

{} {} {}

Third Dungeon.

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<38 → 44>

{} {} {}

Fourth Dungeon.

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<44 → 47>

{You have reached V-Rank!}

{} {} {}

In the Fifth Dungeon, he had 3 hours and 27 minutes left to complete the last 5 dungeons, but it was exhausting to him, just going all by himself is quite formidable and needed survival skills.

But he is completely aware and precised of his actions anyhow, making his survival rate more then 85 percent.

"I wonder whats the punishment if i didn't complete it... Anyways, i should not be thinking about that."

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<47 → 51>

{} {} {}

Sixth Dungeon.

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<51 → 56>

{} {} {}

Seventh Dungeon.

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<56 → 61!>

{You have reached U-Rank!}

{} {} {}

Eighth Dungeon.

And he acquired another skill, which makes him more energized, Converting Exhaustion, Sweat and Tears into Energy.

He also acquired a skill, immunity, judging by the name, if the user uses the ability, the user will become immune to literally anything in the universe for 15 minutes straight.

Another skill also was acquired during the Eighth Dungeon, it was Flick, it has 0.01 nanosecond of a cooldown, which means he can possibly do shadow clones if fast enough to do so.

Arin's Sanguine Pyrokinesis was leveled up to 12, and his Sword was replaced by known as: 'Sword of Realms.' which is Level 8.

"I'll check my current status after i finish the Tenth Dungeon, i have only 1 hour and 34 minutes left to complete the mission."

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<61 → 66>

{} {} {}

Everything was equal to his power on the Ninth Dungeon, making him sweat, but that sweat instantly converted into energy immediately, keeping his guard up and intact.

{} {} {}

{You have Leveled up!}

<66 BONUS ACTIVATED! → 84>

{You have reached T-Rank!}

{} {} {}

A Bonus he got by defeating the Archduchy of Monsters Aigus on the Tenth Dungeon, despite being N-Ranked Dungeon, he had successfully completed the mission without any problems, or whatsoever.

"Alright!, System!, reveal my status!"

"W... Woah!"

Arin was completely stunned by his current status, before, his hp was only 40, now ot jumped into 1200!

"It seems that i have gotten quite powerful... Well great power comes with great responsibility am i right?"

He wasn't cocky after getting all that Levels, thanks to the Bonus, he was now T-Rank.

"Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T..."

"If it's really alphabetical, i guess i'll have to guess it's all 26 letters..."

Afterwards, being a little tired, he went back to the Hotel after all that night mission for the System.

"Oh yeah, the system didn't appear yet, so it'll probably appear later once i get into bed..."

He went in the Hotel, and directly at his room, laying on the bed, as expected, the system showed up.

{} {} {}

{You have completed the Mission.}

{Reward: 'New skill- Hyper Regeneration' and 'New Item- The Shadow's Scythe. (SS-Rank)}

{} {} {}

"Ah... SS... Rank... Scythe?"

He felt overpowered already, but he guessed that it was the price for me suffering on those dungeons, hence, the system might do some missions for him again.

"Oh well, i guess i'll have to sleep at first..."

After the exhausting and tiering day he went through, he went onto deep sleep, peacefully enjoying his positive dreams.

...The dreams, of a Shadow.
