A prompt appeared in front of me.
Would you like to learn these skills?
Yes / No
Without hesitation, I selected Yes. As knowledge of each spell flooded into my mind, I felt a small surge of excitement. With my new skills ready to test, I decided to head into a different dungeon, choosing one at random.
The dungeon materialized as a vast grassland stretching endlessly under a bright blue sky. A refreshing change from the oppressive atmosphere of the vampire castle. I figured this was the perfect setting to test my abilities.
I started with Metal Control, but as I concentrated on bending and manipulating the elements, I realized it was far from easy. Sweat dripped down my forehead as I focused harder, my muscles tensed in frustration.
'This better be worth it,' I thought, finally taking a break.
Wiping my brow, I decided to switch tactics and test my magic instead. I extended my hand, focusing on the icy energy I could feel pulsing within me.
"Icicle Lance!"
A brilliant, ice-blue magic circle appeared before me, and from it, a lance of pure ice shot forward, piercing the ground with precision. Checking my MP, I noted that it only consumed 20 points.
"Not bad," I muttered, a small smile forming.
Next, I tried Water Slicers.
"Water Slicers!"
Ten sharp blades of water erupted from a deep blue magic circle, slicing through the air with incredible speed.
Encouraged by my progress, I moved on to something more powerful.
"Dragon Lightning!"
This time, a pale blue magic circle materialized, crackling with energy. A torrent of lightning shot forth, its shape forming into the head of a roaring dragon before it blasted into the distance. I checked my MP gauge—200 points gone.
"Yeah, that looks powerful," I said, impressed.
Curious about Hell Flare, I conjured a small orb of crimson fire in my palm. It looked unassuming but radiated an intense heat. A zombie spawned nearby, and I hurled the flame at it. The second it made contact, the zombie disintegrated into ash, obliterated completely. Surprisingly, it only cost 10 MP.
The dungeon then spawned five more zombies, shambling toward me in a loose formation. I decided to test Mist of Death.
"Mist of Death!"
A purple magic circle appeared beneath the zombies, and a dark mist began to envelop them. Their energy drained rapidly, and to my surprise, I felt my own stamina and magic replenishing in real time.
"Now that's useful," I remarked, grinning.
But my moment of satisfaction was cut short as the system gave a sudden warning.
BOSS INCOMING!
The notification flashed ominously before my eyes. A cold breeze swept through the dungeon, and I prepared myself for whatever was coming next.
A massive green magic circle appeared before me, and from it emerged a dragon clad in shimmering green scales. Its presence was overwhelming, radiating an aura of raw power that shook the very ground beneath me.
Without hesitation, I activated Observe.
Observe:
• Name: ???
• Race: Nature Dragon
• Title: Dungeon Boss
• Fame: Dungeon Boss
• HP: 10,000/10,000
• MP: 20,000/20,000
• Stamina: 1,000/1,000
• Strength: 50
• Endurance: 50
• Agility: 50
• Intelligence: 10
• Wisdom: 10
• Luck: 20
Alright, I can do this, I thought to myself. I had defeated a dragon before—barely—but I had learned from the experience.
I wasted no time, summoning sparks of lightning and launching them at the dragon. The bolts hit their mark, but the creature merely shrugged them off as though they were nothing.
"Guess lightning won't cut it," I muttered, shifting strategies.
Conjuring crimson flames in my hands, I hurled them at the beast. The moment the fire engulfed its scales, the dragon let out an earsplitting roar of pain.
So, fire hurts it.
"HELL FLARE!" I shouted, releasing a surge of fire toward the dragon. The flames immobilized the massive creature, wrapping it in a relentless inferno that chipped away at its health.
I quickly used Observe again to check its status.
Observe:
• Name: ???
• Race: Nature Dragon
• Title: Dungeon Boss
• Fame: Dungeon Boss
• HP: 3,478/10,000
Not bad. Hell Flare is doing its job.
Just then, a notification popped up.
Observe has leveled up: 40/100. You can now see what is most effective against an opponent.
Finally, some good news, I thought, a small smirk forming.
Realizing the dragon was still vulnerable, I decided to end this quickly. Calling upon my holy magic, I clasped my hands together, focusing my energy into a single point. A glowing sphere of radiant light began to form between my palms, pulsating with immense power.
"HOLY BREAK!" I yelled, thrusting my hands forward.
The sphere exploded into countless beams of holy energy, scattering in all directions before converging on the dragon.
Each beam struck true, tearing through its massive frame as it let out a final, deafening roar. The mighty creature dissolved into dust, its colossal form disintegrating before my eyes.
As the battlefield fell silent, I opened my inventory, eager to see the spoils of victory. The defeat of the dungeon boss had earned me more than just relief—it had brought new treasures, and I couldn't wait to see what more it have for me.
….
After the fight with the Nature Dragon, I checked my inventory, feeling a sense of accomplishment as I reviewed the loot:
Inventory:
• 237 Nature Dragon Scales
• 220 Dragon Teeth
• 720 Dragon Bones
Next, I pulled up my stats, eager to see how I had progressed:
[Stats]
• Name: Shiro
• Age: 15
• Race: Human
• Title: None
• Fame: None
• Sacred Gear: None
• Level: 33

With 90 unused stat points, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I carefully distributed the points across my stats, making sure to balance my growth.
