Alesti yawns while talking.
"Dungeons can be found pretty commonly. But different class dungeons have different levels. I've been in every dungeon class except X-Class. D-Class dungeons are levels one to fifteen, C-Class are levels sixteen to thirty, B-Class are levels thirty-one to eighty, A-Class are levels eighty-one to one hundred fifty, S-Class are levels one-fifty-one to two hundred. I only heard what was seen in the X-Class dungeon. By what I heard, a scryer peeked in and the first enemy he saw was level four hundred."
He says as I feel a chill go down my spine.
I can only imagine how much experience a level 400 would give. And would I even be able to do an S or A Class dungeon?
I think to myself as Alesti sits back down.
"Do with that info what you will, I've completed hundreds of dungeons in my thirty years of adventuring."
He says as I stare at him.
He's been adventuring for thirty years? I'm one fifth as strong as he is and I've only been doing this for three days. In time, I could definitely beat him.
I think as I nod and walk outside, where I see everyone waiting. Vex looks at me and smiles.
"So I'm assuming we are going to find a dungeon? I did hear you talking about them in there."
Vex asks as I nod. Azeroth speaks up.
"I know of a gate not too far from here. I'm not sure what Class the dungeon is, but I know it doesn't get used much."
He replies as I smile.
"Lead the way."
I reply as he quickly flies off the ground and starts flying towards the outskirts of town. We all follow him, everyone talking except me.
I need to get stronger.
I think, almost a craving of strength.
After several hours of walking, we arrive outside the city at a large stone gate with a black and grey portal swirling in the middle.
"That looks ominous."
Warren says as I immediately walk through. As I emerge out the other side, I see a large cave. I wait for several minutes for the others to follow me, but no one comes through. I try to walk back through, but the portal feels like a solid wall. I hear rapid footsteps behind me down one of the dark passages.
As I look back I see a skeletal animal charging me. I look closer to see something above its head.
I grit my teeth as it lunges at me.
I shouldn't have been so hasty.
I think to myself as I punch it in the face, shattering its skull and sending it across the room.
That was surprisingly easy. Maybe blunt attacks are more effective, would make sense.
I see several more appear in the passage and charging me.
"I can do this all day!"
I scream as I punch several of the hounds away, killing them instantly. One manages to bite me, leaving a searing bite mark that burns my skin.
[-3,000 HP]
[+75 HP]
My heart drops as I see the damage inflicted.
I can't get hit too much. This will be fatal if I don't pay close attention.
I think as several more charge from the passage.
I take my time, dodging then attacking. Making sure I don't get hit by any of their attacks. After fending off 8
I take a deep breath and let my wounds heal for several minutes.
As I start walking down the passage they came from I feel the air getting colder. I see blue flames whipping and flickering along the edges of the walls.
Seems like a boss fight.
I see 4
I watch it stand up, heavy plate mail adorning its body. It raises an 8 foot long blade wider than my body from its back. As it pops its shoulders and neck, the
Maybe I can fight this, my stats are pretty high after all.
I think to myself as the knight suddenly vanishes. A whooshing sound behind me causes me to lunge forward without thinking.
[-11,000 HP]
[+75 HP]
I feel my heart drop as I see its blade jammed into the ground with my right arm beside it. Blood sputters and drains from my arm as I fall onto the ground, almost petrified with fear.
The difference in our stats, it's too vast.
I can't fight this.
I think to myself as I see it slowly pull its sword from the ground. It raises the large blade over its head as I hold out my left hand.
"[Telekinesis 5]!"
I scream in desperation as I see it float off the ground and stare at me.
"[Hellfire 2]!"
I yell as black flames surround it and start chipping away at its armor and sword. After a few seconds I see it go partially limp.
"I- I did it! I've wo-."
It throws its partially melted sword into my chest. The flames melted enough of the blade away to pierce my chest but not cut me in half.
I feel a tingling sensation as I drop to the ground and black out. Once again I'm floating in a void.
"This is how it was last time I died, which means I died again."
I say quietly as a notice pops up.

I hear a deep sigh around me as I jolt awake with a sword in my chest. I quickly pull it out and cough up a little blood. I see
"Hellfire is an incredible skill."
I mumble as I feel sharp shooting pains rip through my chest. As I clench my chest a notice appears.
