( Inside the System Space. )
" It seems in order for the plan to fight the Diviner gods to succeed, is to upgrade Ragna Current's powers and abilities level by level. "
" But the problem here is his current status right now is scratch and it seems his training will get thousand years even though he only had Twelve years before the Reboot started in this Timeline. " Ragna 12 says to himself as he plans what to do using his Twelve Eye of Time which was activated minutes earlier.
" I see ... "
" After his first experience in the Dungeon, I must take him to that place. " Ragna Twelve smiles after he was given some visions by his Left Eye.
.....
( In the Dungeon. )
< The Slime Lake Dungeon (Normal) >
< Required Level: 1-5 >
" I can do this... " Ragna says as he attacks the slime with the weapons he had in his inventory.
< [Item: Cracked Blade] >
< Type: Sword >
< +12 Attack >
< Opponent HP -20 >
< Warning >
< Weapon Durability (11/20) >
" Grrkkkhhh ... durability? really now? " Ragna uses the weapon until it breaks as he finishes one slime and prepares to fight another while looting the drop.
< Drop Acquired >
< Slime Liquid X1 >
" No weapons? shit ...!!! " Ragna says as he sees his inventory.
< Inventory: 10 items >
< 9 weapons, 1 materials >
Seeing that, Ragna then decides to equip another weapon after he broke the second weapon as with the third level 1 weapon he killed the other slime and proceeds to kill all of the monsters that are using five of his weapons totaled.
" Die !!!! "
" Be Slashed !!! "
" Be Wasted !!! "
" You're next !!!! "
" The last one!!!! " Ragna slashes the slime as his fifth weapon was immediately broken as its durability is gone.
< Weapon Broken >
< Quest Complete >
< Results: Slimes Killed (6/6) >
< EXP +80 >
< Congratulations You Level Up >

" I see, it seems I've leveled quite well for a first-timer. "
" After clearing the Daily Quest, I was given 2 Stat Points. "
" On the contrary, when I level up, all of my stats go up by one. "
" Total 6 points for each stat are given 1 point equally. "
After leveling up, Ragna concludes that the System works well just as in the game, where leveling up by killing monsters usually increases the chance of gathering EXP rather than doing normal quests.
Even after the first level up, he could feel a difference in his body as if his body had slowly grown from his weak previous state.
" After this, I gotta thank Twelve for giving the System to me, including the Black Core," he says even though he still hates when saying the Black Core because of the thing inside it.
" With this, with leveling up ... "
" I can do the first thing that I want in my new given life. "
" To gain power. " Ragna says while investigating the slimes' remains as he realizes that the monster doesn't have a core.
"( These monsters, I've been wondering if they are real monsters from the usual Dungeon Gates that appear or this Dungeon and its very monsters are from the System itself not from the Deviants. )" Ragna wonders as he tries to predict how the Dungeon he is currently in works as he assumes the reason the monsters he defeated didn't drop any Deviant Core instead, they drop items.
During his investigation, he then sees that the System also provides a
" So I can't buy anything for now, but I can sell it? " Ragna says as he then sells the Slime Liquid.
< Do you Want to sell [Item: Slime Liquid]? >
< Sell | Cancel >
" Sell!!! "
< Item has been sold!! >
< +30 Gold Points >
" Gold Points? I wonder how much it's worth for now since it's not even Cash or Credit. "
" But assume that this is a normal Dungeon, then it will probably be worth 1 digit of Cash not even count as Credit. " Ragna says as he assumes that the value of money if he exchanges the GP is probably one-digit cash.
After leaving the area, he then decides to proceed with killing the Boss, he believes that just like in the game and in the reality, a Player or a Hunter needs to kill the Boss in order to leave the Dungeons.
" The Boss must be strong. "
" And since this is a Dungeon then ... "
" Shouldn't there be many monsters to kill for me to Level Up? " Ragna says his question was immediately answered as he sees another slime walking near him with its pack.
" *smirk* Too bad Twelve wasn't here to see my progress? " Ragna says to himself.
"( I've been dealt worse, from being a Bait to only attracting monsters. from being a Carrier who brings the other Hunters' items, and then ... )" he thinks of the Yakan Curse that tortures him back in the Punishment Zone.
"( That Divine Curse, the Curse from who-the-Divine-hell that cast it on me...!!! )" Ragna says as he proceeds to attack the slimes.
" Come here !!!!! "
" I rip all the EXPs from you!!!!! " Ragna says to the incoming wave of monsters.
"( I've already 'died' hundreds of times in that place.) " he says while remembering the events in the Punishment Zone.
"( And tortured by the most bestial monster that humanity has ever seen. )"
"( From all of that, then there's nothing to fear from mere slimes !!!! )" Ragna says as he howls while killing the slimes.
" Let me tell you this you living liquids!!!! "
" You're mere forms are not worthy to scare the hell out of me!!!!!! " Ragna says while slaying many slimes.
"( More, more, I need more ...!!!! )" Ragna says as if the ecstasy of battle is growing inside of him.
< You Leveled Up! >
" Thanks, Ragna from the 12th Timeline...!!! "
< You Leveled Up! >
" For giving me something, the gods ... no ... "
< EXP+15 >
< EXP+15 >
< EXP+15 >
< You Leveled Up! >
" The Diviners never gave me before which is ... "
< You Leveled Up! >
Ragna thinks as he remembered his grandmother at home, the only family left that he wishes to protect and pleases, remembering his dreams in the past to give his grandma a luxurious life for all things that she had done for him.
Also, he remembers Twelve, the one that gives this chance to him, he swears that he will also fulfill his wish to stop the Diviners whatever he can.
" I'll have to do it, I'll have to become stronger!!!! "
" Level by Level !!!! "
" To become more powerful than everyone's expectations, from my grandma, Twelve, the inspectors, the society, and even ... "
" The Diviners expectations!!!!! " Ragna promises to himself while ripping the EXP out of the monsters.
" For my own sake!!! " he shouts to the monsters.
" DIE!!! "
