Ethan stood before the entrance of the E-rank Dungeon, his heart pounding with a mix of amazement and determination. For four months, he'd trained relentlessly with his father, honing his mana control and sword skills for this very moment. Now, as he faced the dungeon's entrance, he couldn't help but feel a wave of uncertainty mingled with a fierce resolve. This was the beginning of his journey, the moment he'd been eagerly anticipating.

With a deep breath, Ethan stepped into the dungeon, his senses on high alert. He knew from his knowledge on the novel and researching that only goblins inhabited this dungeon, with an ogre lurking as the final boss. But he also understood that this battle would be unlike any sparring session with his father. Nevertheless, he steeled himself for what lay ahead, muttering to himself, "I know it's just goblins and an ogre, but this won't be like training with the old man. Let's do this."

As Ethan ventured further into the dungeon, he couldn't help but marvel at its cave-like interior. The dim lighting cast eerie shadows across the rough stone walls, heightening his sense of anticipation.

Ethan walked while holding his regular katana at his side for precaution. Walking straight for at least 3 minutes he was able to see one goblin. Ethan was 3 meters away from the goblin and he thinks that this is the best move to use, Ethan tightly grip the katana and slightly bend and whispered "Silent sun", Ethan stepped on the ground tightly and used his sword art, suddenly Ethan was behind the goblin and the neck of the goblin was cut off.

Looking at the head of the goblin falling Ethan feels complicated, he thought that it would be hard for him to kill a living being but it seems that it is a little bit ok to him. Ethan reminisces about what he did, he executed the goblin successfully using his family's sword art. The sword skill that he use was useful in a 1v1 fight that is why he used that and that is also the only thing he know on his family's sword art yet.

Ethan fought a few goblins for an hour until he reach the boss room or the ogres room. As Ethan stood before the menacing ogre, his heart pounded in his chest, adrenaline coursing through his veins. Despite his determination, he knew he was in for the fight of his life. The ogre's 3 meters height showed before him, its skin rugged and fur-covered, muscles bulging with raw power. Gripping its club with primal rage, the ogre charged at Ethan with a deafening roar.


Reacting with a great speed, Ethan narrowly dodged the ogre's swinging club, the rush of wind grazing his cheek. In a split-second decision, Ethan drew upon his sword, whispering "Silent Sun" channeling the power of his sword art. In a second, Ethan vanished from sight, leaving the ogre momentarily disoriented.

In the blink of an eye, Ethan reappeared behind the towering creature, his katana flashing in the dim light of the cave. With a swift, precise strike, Ethan aimed for the ogre's vulnerable spot, which is the knee of the ogre, his blade slicing through the air with deadly accuracy. The ogre roared in agony as Ethan's attack found its mark, delivering a critical blow to the creature's knee.

Seizing the opportunity, Ethan pressed his advantage, launching a flurry of strikes against the ogre's towering form. Each slash exchanged reverberated through the cave, the sound of steel meeting flesh and steel meeting steel filling the air. Despite the ogre's brute strength, Ethan's agility and skill kept him in the fight, matching the creature blow for blow.

Finally, with a well-timed strike, Ethan drove his katana deep into the ogre's chest, delivering the decisive blow that ended the battle. The ogre let out a guttural cry of pain before collapsing to the ground, defeated. Breathing heavily, Ethan surveyed the aftermath of the fight, his body battered and bruised but victorious.

As he reached for a healing potion to tend to his wounds, Ethan's gaze fell upon the object of his quest—a gleaming skill book that lay amidst the rubble behind the ogre's throne. With a sense of joy and relief, Ethan retrieved the skill book and put it in his hand.

Ethan's hands trembled with excitement as he poured mana into the skill book, eagerly absorbing its contents. He could feel something shifting within him, a new knowledge taking root in his very being. With a sense of anticipation, Ethan spoke the command, "Status open," summoning forth his updated status.

The information shimmered before him, detailing his attributes, blessings, skills, and martial arts prowess. Each line represented a facet of his growing strength and potential. But it was the addition of a new skill that caught Ethan's attention, igniting a spark of curiosity within him.

Ethan's eyes lit up as he read the description of the new skill. It promised to not only alter his appearance but also enhance his mastery over mana. This was the key he had been seeking, the missing piece to unlocking his full potential.
