It has been now 2 weeks since i have entered the dungeon and around 1 week since i killed the huge bat.
I used the first 2 days to recuperate from any damage i might have had and then started exploring the dungeon.
This was going slow at first but after more and more time passes i began to go faster, the reason was simple i found out that the vampire bats were the top predators of this floor.
There were many different monsters like bloodthirsty bunnies, bloodthirsty apes, bloodthirsty armadillos and so on but all of them had a dragon horn sticking out of their skull, the handiwork of the horny dragon bastards no doubt.
My stength has considerably to the point that i am now able to hunt 2-3 vampire bats without much risk, i have also not seen another huge bat and it got me thinking just what blood must it have sucked to get this strong.

I had goten 2 levels from the huge bat and i got another 4 levels from killing monsters, so 6 it total.
All my skill have been leveling up nicely especially the Martial arts skill, if this keeps going like this then i might reach it to stage 2 before fighting the floor boss.
My 'production' also leveled quite a bit since i used some of the skin and bones to make armor from the skin of the huge bat, a sword with some of it's bones and i also took the liberty to make a makeshift bed with skins from monsters like bunnies and such.
As for new skills i got something that i didn't even knew existed, i got danger and battle sense.
If the name isn't obvious enough then let me explain it to you.
Danger sense give you a vague sense whenever you are in a deadly danger and battle sense makes you use the most optimal skills and technics when in battle.
Battle sense would not be a realy good skill for the average person but for me it is a godsent.
I also got 'hide' to keep hidden and sneak attack unsuspecting monsters and 'observe' to see when monsters are unduspecting so i can sneak attact.
Yep, i am still going around and sneak attacking, i can handle everything on this floor without much of a problem but only in a 1vs1 situation i can be sure of this.
Should a huge group of 5 or more bats come and attack me then i would have to run and if it is more than 10 then i don't even know if i would be able to run.
The good thing is that, in dungeons as long a someone is inside then the only way for monsters to increase is through natural breeding, so there is no chance of a monster just jumping out of the wall and killing you.
This also means that i can slowly kill everything on this floor and then attack the floor boss to the next floor without having to wary about being ambushed.
With the plan set and me ready to go it didn't take long to map out most of the first floor.
There were 7 points of interest.
One was a golden door which i assumed was the floor boss and the other 6 were monster nests.
Strong monsters will make a base and start multiplying, these bases are called nests.
From what i have seem, 4 of these nest are from vampire bats and the other 2 are from bloodthirsty bunnies and bloodthirsty apes.
There is also a difference in size when it comes to the bat nests, 2 are small with no more than 10 bats, 1 is medium sized with around 20 bats and the last one is huge, there must be at least 50 bats there and don't make me mention the fact that there might exist huge bats in these nest.
So here i am now, patiently waiting ouside ot the bloodthirsty bunnie nest, i went ahead and killed 3 bunnies to use gluttony on so as to have infinite energy and mana during the battle.
I have been here for quite a bit so i am surtain that there exist no more than 30 bunnies here, this shouldn't be that difficult with my strength.
Pulling out the spear i got closer to the bunnie that was keeping lookout.
Yes, a spear.
This spear is the drop of the huge bat, this is probably the best thing it could have given me.
I reached the bunnie no problem but these things have a very strong nose so i had to be quick.
With a fluid motion a impaled the head of the bunnie, put it in the inventory and casted 'clean' to remove any sort of bloody smell from my spear.
This went on until i was about to kill the 8th bunnie but somehow it figured out i was here and started screaming.
'Tsk, i almost got a third of them.'
I was slighly annoyed but that was all, i still was curtain of my victory.
Pushing out my hand i casted 'light arrow', this single spell was enough to take care of the bunnie.
The bunnies started coming at me full force, there were 19 of them.
'So there were 27 in total.'
I raised my hand once again and started spamming the 'light arrow' spell.
This wasn't a battle, it was a massacre.
These bunnies were either dead long before the reach me or the would get sliced by my spear should the get close enough.
It didn't take long for the battle to end, in just 5 minutes all bunnies were dead on the ground or dead in my inventory.
I smiled a bit before putting most of them in my inventory, as for the rest....
Pulling out my hammer, i crushed them into a pulp before putting it all in a bag.
Hehe, this is a surprise tool that will help us later.
After a quick search of the place, which by the way had nothing of value, i went ahead to my second target of the day, the bloodthirsty apes nest.
Taking the apes is not going to be a simple as the bunnies.
From my previus reconnaissance i figured that there are about 20 apes, not too many but the apes are way stronger than the bunnies, there is no way for me to go 20vs1 and still come out completely unscathed in a straight battle.
So here comes the bait into play, i use the bait and kill as many as possible and the start the battle.
With that in mind i split the mush of meat into 3 different portions, i inserted a good amount of gluttonus aura and then placed them in places that were easily visible to the apes on patrol.
Then i went to the hightest place here and and started making a deck chair to enjoy the show, hey don't judge me, i haven't done anything remotely interesting in these past few weeks.
It took them no more than half an hour to find out all of them and it took them half that to eat it all.
On another note, annihilating this nest is going to be realy easy, why you may ask, well the answer to that is simple, these apes spilt all the meat that i had brought and spread it around the whole nest.
I took out a piece of wood and some weeds and started making a fire, since this will take a while i might as well make the first meal in this dungeon.
In about 3 hour all the apes were screaming in agony and there at the hightest and most well hidden place of the cave i was munching on a bunnie's foot, as it would turn out the higher the level the better it tastes.
At the 5 hour mark most apes were already dead so i figured it was time to end this all.
I nibbly jumped down and started killing of the rest of the apes that were still alive.
This was going on very well before i heard footsteps.
I turned around only to see a rock aproching my face but i didn't even flinch and just avoided the rock with the least and smallest movement posible.
Now that my vision was clear i could see what was going on, there was an ape double the normal size holding a big tree branch and right next to it was an old and sickly looking ape that wasn't holding anything.
I take a peek at that rock that was thrown at me and i notice that it was not there anymore.
'Hmmm, a mage and a tank?'
A smile formed on my face, this time the gains will be big.
