Sinclair was truly proud of Dan as his teacher. She always thought that he was struggling in school but it turned out he was very bright indeed.
Dan grabbed Sinclair from his head and held her in front of him like a child. They looked like a father holding his newborn child.
"Can you tell me about the nearest dungeon."He asked earnestly.
"What is with the sudden interest in dungeons?"
"I dont know can you just tell me."
Sinclair sighed and decided to him what she knew. There were 4 dungeons nearby. They were quite some distance away approximately 30 kilo metres away from the school. They belonged to the school but students did not enter it most of the time for several reasons. They were either to weak, to busy or they just did not care.
The rankings of the four dungeons were S rank, B rank, another S rank and a D rank dungeon. Students could enter any of the dungeons except the S rank dungeons unless they were accompanied by a teacher or recieved permission from the headmaster or student council leader.
"Let's go together to a dungeon."
"... That's a terrible idea. You skipped classes all day long and now you want to go to a dungeon. Both you and I will be in some serious trouble."
Dan pleaded with Sinclair until she finally agreed. She could have just said no but she was bored so she might as well tag along.
Dan opened the shop on his screen and scrolled down the list of clothes. He bought 10 sets of clothes for one gold. He took out a set and put it on in front of Sinclair while she watched.
A black Shorts, black sneakers, black shirt, black leather trench coat with black sunglasses.
Sinclair came closer and touched the trench coat. She felt the smooth surface of it and it pleased her greatly. "What kind of clothes is this? I have never seen it before." She asked.
"I do not know either. I only saw it recently and bought it and stored it." Dan zipped up the jacket. He was ready to go. "Let us go." Dan walked over to the door ready to leave but Sinclair was drawing a circle on the floor with chalk.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm drawing a teleportation circle. Please be quiet it needs my utmost attention. A crooked line could teleport us one hundred thousand kilometres away from here or explode."
Dan watched in silence as Sinclair drew lines connecting to each other on the circle. She gave it some finishing touches and drew a knife out of nowhere. She slit her thumb and blood gushed out. She quickly poured it on all the sides of the circle. Her wound closed at the wave of a finger. She placed candles on the four lines drawn on the circle.
"Come it's ready."
Dan quickly came over to her and she sat on his head. "Go inside the circle. Make sure you your entire body is inside otherwise the part that is not inside will be cut of by the magical imbalance."
Once Dan made sure his entire body was inside Sinclair chanted a spell. ""<○○○●■□◇♧♤>""
There was a loud bang and the air in Dan's lung disappeared. It was replaced by a freezing current. It felt like Dan's body shrinked and his mind was shrieking. He could not breathe properly, his eyes felt cold, his skin shrivelled and his hair stood on edge.
This was only a second but it felt like an eternity for Dan. All of this stopped instantly, he felt his knees collapse. There was little food in his stomach but he still vomited it out. Dan looked at the water that he had vomited on the floor.
Sinclair fluttered down and handed Dan a corked bottle which was filled with green murky liquid.
"Drink it, It will help making you feel better."
Dan took the bottle and unscrewed the cork.
A pungent smell hit Dan's sensitive nose. It smelt like some sort of natural gas that was found on a volcano.
Dan coughed hard and decided it would better if he moved it away from him. "What is this? Dragon poison? Horse crap?"
"Actually it's a potion made from the crushed bones of griffins. It is really rare and expensive so you should drink it otherwise you will feel sick for a few weeks."
"Why are you not drinking it?"
"It was a short distance and besides I'm practically used to it by now. Most people aren't lucky enough to use that potion so just drink it."
Dan took a gulp from the bottle. It tasted disgusting. It tasted like rotten eggs, spoilt camel milk, grass and wood. Dan could also feel a metallic taste on his tongue. He tried taking another sip but he could not.
"One sip is enough. Pass me the bottle."
Dan gave the bottle to Sinclair. She put the cork on it and waved her hand. Just like the other times the bottle disappeared.
➡️ Medicine for magic incontinence has been detected. Would you like to circulate around the body.
"Y/N"
Dan accepted. After a few seconds Dan already felt better.
"Thats odd most of the time it takes a few minutes for a person to recover but you recovered in under a minute."
Dan stood up and stretched his hands "Where is the dungeon ms Sinclair?"
Sinclair pointed her finger at a forest. "Beyond those trees is the dungeon. It is D ranked. D rank isnt really that difficult but there is a lot of traps and the creatures in the dungeon mob anyone who goes into the dungeon."
Dan ran past the trees until he reached a giant gate. The gate was something he had never seen. The size of it was something else. It was half the size of his school. If a mere D rank dungeon was this big then what about a S rank dungeon.
He gulped his sweat. Sweat trickled down his forehead. His heart beat faster as a smile formed on his face. This was how he would get stronger.
Dan ran to the portal and jumped through it. It felt cold but not to cold.
He landed on a patch of grass. He looked around and saw trees and flowers all over the place. This seemed more like an garden than a dungeon. Dan thought a dungeon was a cold dark place full of wild creatures and monsters that would attack him instantly.
Sinclair warned Dan to be on his toes. This was definitely a trap. Most people let their guard down when they saw the garden and then they were attacked.
Dan decided to let down his guard. He would use this as bait for any monsters to attack him and just as he had planned as if right on schedule a wild creature came swooping down at him.
A black fox with black wings. It had the tail of lion and the beak of duck. It had talons as sharp as a sword. It was moving at incredible speed but it was not even close to the alpha bulls speed.Dan pointed his finger at it while it came charging at him.
"Explode."
The creature burst in to flames as a giant explosion was heard. It fell down from the sky and landed on its neck.
➡️Krim fox has been killed.
You have received 5000 exp. 9000 exp to next level. (9000/14000)
You have received krim fox skin.
You have received krim fox bone.
Now this is what he was talking about. If he recieved this much from killing a single Krim fox then he would increase in power greatly by the time he left the dungeon.
A swarm of Krim foxes descended down from the sky. There were over a 100 krim foxes. This was good.
Dan wondered why he could not see the Krim foxes until they had gotten closer. There was only one conclusion that Dan came to. Invisibility!
Dan raised his finger again at the swarm of krim foxes. "Explode. Explode. Explode. Explode. Explode. "
Nearly every single fox in the sky dropped down from the sky. Only a few still remained in the sky.

Dan watched as notification after notification appeared one after the other blocking his view.
He closed the screen and managed to catch a Krim fox with its beak wide open flying towards him. He slammed it onto the floor and kicked its beak of. He crushed its head with a powerful stomp to the face. The orange blood of the Krim fox got on Dan's sneakers and splattered all over his face and clothes.
"That is seriously brutal you have to take it easy, I do not want blood on me." Said Sinclair who was on Dan's head. Dan grumbled and cursed under his breath. She could just prevent the blood from reaching her and even if it reached her, she could just clean herself with the wave of a hand.
Dan shot down the remaining 4 Krim foxes from the sky with a dark energy beam.
Dan watched as the mangled corpses of the Krim foxes fell down.
He decided to walk around and look for more monsters. After walking for 20 minutes he finally came across a Steel horned goat's nest.
Just as the name stated, they were simply goats with steel horns. They were normally hunted down for their horns.
Dan inhaled and burned the entire nest down with fire. The notification popped up on the screen confirming that he had killed them all. "You shouldn't just attack everything that moves you know. I know that this is a dungeon but if you keep on attacking blindly you will collapse the dungeon hierarchy." Sinclair said.
Dan didn't pay any attention to her. Earlier on she told him that a dungeon expanded for millions of kilometres but from outside it looked like it was just as big as a giant palace.
So in simple terms there would be other nests of goats.
Dan continued walking for 6 hours and any time anything dared to attack him or caught his eye he would fire a powerful chaos energy beam which would destroy the creature including the bones and everything. The damage done to the environment was large. Forests had been lit on fire, plateaus looked like they suffered a hundred years of soil erosion and the mountains were filled with all the dead bodies of the creatures.
By instinct Dan got down. A giant axe flew past his head. Sinclair fell on her ass onto the floor. She looked at the axe that was still flying away from Dan. She looked at the opposite direction in which the axe had been thrown from.
Standing there was a bear, no it wasn't a bear. It stood on two legs and had a humanoid like figure. It had lots of fur and it was wearing a gauntlet and a helmet. The front part of it's chest had no fur. It was four times the size of a fully grown orc. A fully grown orc was normally 7 foot tall.
The giant figure extended its hand and the giant axe came flying back taking the same path it had taken. Dan grabbed Sinclair and dodged out of the way. The place he was standing had a small crater created from the air pressure of the axe.
This would be a tough battle. Dan reached into the inventory and brought out a sheathed katana. He unsheathed the katana from its crimson red sheath. The blade shimmered in the sun. A beautiful and well crafted sword. A sword carried by warriors to show disciple,mercy and honour. None of these words described Dan at all. He was a dishonest and impulsive person. He had no honour although Kliran did his best to teach him.
➡️Bazi queens.
An endangered species that attack anyone who destroy their home or attack their kids.

Speed:C

Dan did not pay any attention to the screen and ran at the creature sword in hand. He reached the creature, jumped into the sky and brought down the katana. The creature blocked it with the axe and head butted Dan.
➡️ Health (350/454)
Had Dan not raised his hand to block that attack he would be laying there dead. He swung the katana at the beasts ankle but it lifted its leg to dodge it. Dan went for the other leg but the giant creature jumped up into the sky. Before it landed Dan moved back quite a distance away. When it landed a giant shockwave pushed by Dan even though he was far away. A giant crater was formed around its feet.
➡️Health (230/454)
'Even shockwaves damage me. I shouldn't get to close. I will fire magic from a distance lower its health and kill it."
Dan pointed his finger at the creature and ordered it to explode.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
The explosions greatly disturbed the bazi. It did serious damage but it was still breathing.
Dan decided to use the mythical skill that he gained a while ago.
➡️ Sword technique: limited series: Pain and sorrow. First form.
➡️The first form of the 8 limited sword technique series.
➡️A powerful slash attack which is powerful enough to destroy a mountain.
➡️ Gain all limited series to gain the unlimited series.
➡️Once you gain all the limited series attack power will increase by 10 fold.
Dan grasped the hilt of the katana tightly. He raised it above it's head. "ACTIVATE SKILL." Dan said in his head. He could talk in his head to the system so that enemies did not have to hear him.
The katana was enclosed in a black energy. The energy was screaming out harder waiting for it to be let out. The vibrations in the katana made it hard to hold but he did not let go.
He brought down the sword letting it rip through the air. The sound of the sword ripping through the air was deafening. It was so loud that Dan could feel the blood that was tricking from his ears.
A giant slash appeared from the sword and mad it's way to the Bazi queen. It cleaved the monster into two pieces. The giant tree behind it
completely disappeared due to the heat being too hot for it to handle. When the slash reached the mountain in the far distance it was cut into several chunks.
➡️you have received 170,000 exp
➡️you have leveled up
➡️you have leveled up
➡️ you have leveled up

Out of sight out of mind. Dan sheathed the katana back. He threw the sword into the inventory.
Sinclair had been planning on interfering. When Dan was head butted the creature she wanted to immediately burn it. But before she helped she thought about how much Dan wanted this, So she let it happen. If he was in a life or death situation.
This was beyond her belief. How powerful was he? She whistled loudly enough for Dan to hear.
"What was that technique? I've seen several people use it before but it has never been this powerful." She asked.
"Its just a basic slash. I just trained the most basic slash to the utmost. The basics are the most important in magic and swordsmanship.Let's go back we have in here for too long."
Dan had leveled up a lot so he decided not to push his luck. If he hadn't had the mystical skill he did not know what would have become of him.
Sinclair placed herself on top of Dan while he walked. Dan instantly stopped. There was a problem he had not accounted for. They were lost. They had moved away from the entrance a long time ago and he did not know which way was back.
"Do you know how to get back?" he asked Sìnclair.
Sinclair poured on top of his head and said. " When I ask you a question you lie and you expect me to tell you how to get out of here."
"Stop acting cute and tell us how to get out. We have been in here for approximately 7 hours. Once we get outside it should be already night time."
"Did you not know before entering here. Time flows differently on the outside. The ratio being 2:1. We have spent 6 and a half hours in the dungeon inside so that means 3 hours and 15 minutes have passed outside."
'So time flows differently in the dungeon. That's good for me. I was worried about nothing for no reason.' Dan was tempted to continue but he decided that was enough for today. "So how do we get out?"
Sinclair pulled on the air and a small purple thread appeared. It stretched for a long distance that Dan could not even see with his 6.0 eyesight.
"Just follow the thread. It should lead us back to the entrance." Dan tried grabbing the thread but to no avail. His hand just went through it as if there was nothing there.
"Its just your scent. I materialized it so that you could see it. It's pointless to try and touch it. It is not a physical object."
Dan pulled his hand back from it red in the face.
'Add all unused stat points to speed.'
➡️ Adding 130 stat points to speed.
➡️Speed (327/327)➡️ ( 457/457)
Dan ran in the direction of the thread following it a slow pace. After a minute of jogging he broke into a sprint leaving dust in the air. He reached the the entrance after an hour of running straight without no breaks.
He ran past the forests on fire, the destroyed mountain, the hills of bodies.
➡️Speed (457/457)➡️ (500/500)
Dan felt the intense cramps in his body but he did not stop once. He was used to it. The first time Kliran took Dan for training he suffered from cramps that he could not move out of bed for a week.
Dan jumped through the portal and landed on the other side. There was the large forest he had been in before he entered the forest. Sinclair jumped from Dan's head. "That was fun." She said. She pointed north east for Dan to see. "The school is that way. I'm going home. I'll see you tommorow." Sinclair flew away before Dan could even say anything. Why didn't she just teleport him back. 'On second thought I would rather not be teleported.' Teleportation just mad him sick and nauseous.
If he went south from the school when he left and the school was in the north east then to get home he had to go east. Dan's leg shaked from the pain of cramps. Just because he could ignore the pain did not mean it would have no effect on his body.
After trudging for a while, it began to rain. A heavy downpour accompanied by thunder and lightning. The rain felt nice as it hit Dan's body the occasional lightning bolt a few kilometres away gave him shivers down his body.
He finally reached home after walking home for 2 hours. The moment he opened the door the giant dog jumped at him. Dan didn't buckle from the weight and he knelt down for the dog. Kan licked his face and Dan scratched behind his ear. It was a matter of give and take although Dan didn't like being licked with a wet slobery but he didn't bother pushing him away.
Kliran was standing the common room door waiting for Dan to be back. "Why are you la-" Kliran voice trailed of after seeing Dan
"what are those clothes? Why do you smell of blood?" Kliran got closer and thoroughly sniffed him. Dan smelt of blood although it was faint from being in the rain.
"I bought these clothes with my money after my clothes were trashed inside the dungeon." The only lied told was that he bought the clothes after he left the dungeon. Kliran grabbed Dan by the shoulder and shook him. He was worried.
"Why did you go inside the dungeon. You could of have died. It's to dangerous, You weren't hurt were you?"
Dan tried removing Kliran's hand from his shoulder but Kliran's gripcwas to strong. He squeezed Dan's shoulders and shook him faster. Dan did not like being shook this hard. It was uncomfortable and painful. He hit Kliran in the face forcing him to let go of him.
Dan massaged his shoulders and decided to go to his room. "Where are you going? We need to talk. You cant just go into a dungeon with that level of strength."
Dan called Kan not paying any attention to Kliran. Kan came running up the stairs and followed Dan to his room.
Dan reached into the bag of treats on his table and fed Kan. "Did you go for your daily run?"
Kan barked as if answering his question. "Very well then, I will take you out for a walk. Let's go"
He decided to keep wearing his wet clothes since there was no point of changing clothes if he was going back out into the rain. Dan poked his head into his little brothers room. He was fast asleep so he didn't bother waking him up. He left the door open just to be petty and ruin his sleep.
Dan walked down the stairs and opened the door but Kliran called for him in the common room. Kliran, Martha and Fria were sitting around the table. There was an empty seat for Dan to sit but Dan didn't sit down.
"Sit down." Kliran said. Dan just stood there and looked at kliran blankly. "I can't, I'm taking Kan for a walk."
Kliran banged on the table with his fist and growled at Dan. "Sit down." Dan didn't know whether it was pure arrogance or ignorance but he did not bother sitting down.
"I'm taking Kan for a walk since you guys did not. We will talk later and I will take Kan for a walk while it's still not to late."
Dan left the house with Kan by his side. Dan ran at a fast pace for Kan to keep up with him. Tonight was the night he left. Tonight was the night he would leave his home not knowing when he would come back. This was the first step of many.
Dan headed for the Bluewall tree where he told Pedro he would wait for him.
