[You have leveled up]
Looking at this, and looking at the dead bodies around me, I smiled a little, and then called my status window.

Looking at my statues, I nodded in satisfaction.
It has been two days since I killed the first two red goblins.
Although I was worried that my mother would think something happened to me because I couldn't call her for the last two days. But I can't do anything about this, since the moment I stepped into the dungeon, I knew I have to finish the first stage before being allowed to leave.
But not without gains, as you can see my level has risen and I have grown stronger.
After killing them easily, I thought the rest of the road would be easy but I was far from correct.
The first 2 red goblins I met were just of the lowest ranking, as they were just pitiful level one goblins with no specialty.
After them, I met all kinds of goblin species that I have seen in games but with additional power, that made them unique from other goblins in the game.
At first when I noticed something strange when I killed the second goblin and thought of it as a hallucination.
But after meeting the next patches of goblins, the thought became clear in my mind, until I questioned if they really were from the goblin race.
After all, the special thing about them was regeneration.
Yes, regeneration.
The special ability of vampires.
The more vampires advance in ranks in the Mana system, even if they don't focus on evolving their bloodline, their innate ability will get stronger as they got stronger.
And one of those abilities is regeneration. But even vampires at the first three stages in the Mana system, can't regenerate from torn limbs.
But for the red goblins here, their terrifying point was their regeneration was so high for being in the first stage of the Mana system.
At first, it wasn't obvious to my eyes, I just noticed them healing at a faster rate from scratches and the such. But then the more I advance and get more proficient in fighting using my abilities and my body.
The more I notice how terrifying their regeneration really becomes, as they started regenerating their limbs when I separate their limbs from their bodies, they just retreat and maybe in a few minutes, a new hand or leg would appear in its place.
While fighting them, I started to doubt whether I was the vampire or them.
Also, another thing I noticed is that the more I advanced in the first stage, and kill goblins, the goblins after them would have a slightly longer horns with a faster regenerative ability than the goblins before them.
I met goblin rangers, scouts, raiders, Assassins, brutes, shamans, and finally nobles.
The more I get close to the fifth floor, the lesser the number of goblins I meet, but the stronger they got, as their speed, strength, and regeneration increase by different levels compared to the one before them.
As for how did I know their types and occupation?
With the help of the system of course.
While fighting a group of goblins, I by chance focused my eyes on one of the goblins that was standing between them as he was a new type, and like that, a system screen appeared in front of my eyes with the details of the goblin I was focusing on, which made it easier for me to defeat them as they mention some important information.
But the system wasn't so merciful to me, as while leveling up my strength increased to a certain level while fighting, some of the goblins stopped giving me experience points, and some would give me 10 or 20 points of experience.
There were also some goblins that at first gave a large number of experience points like the nobles, who were goblin Chiefs, they were stronger than ordinary goblins and had a special ability to commend other goblins.
As my level increased so did my stats points, and so did my strength, but I am talking more specifically about my Mana right now.
The first level of the Mana system is called Initiate.
At this stage, Cultivators are just beginning to awaken their astral body and cultivate their Mana. They can form the first star in their heart, which represents their passion and desire to learn and grow.
But this explanation is not a metaphoric one, no it states the real meaning of the first step, as Mana cultivators usually collect Mana from the atmosphere and refine it in their bodies.
They start collecting them in their heart to form a star, but this star doesn't form in their physical bodies.
No, it forms in their astral bodies, and when someone manages to completely form a star made of Mana, they can at the time break through to the next stage which is called Acolyte.
Acolyte's explanation would be for later, as I am still a little bit far from achieving this level, as probably I will need 100 Mana points in my status to break through, but I will have to go through the records at home to check the information about the other levels.
But what I am sure of right now, is that my cultivation system has an extra thing that people out there don't have.
And that is Sanguimancy Points, the energy produced with the help of the system and my bloodline power.
I noticed that as my Sanguimancy Points increased, the more it increased, the more obvious it becomes, a small outline of an incomplete star that is forming in the opposite direction of the one in my heart is also forming in my body.
Or probably my astral body just like the Mana star.
As for what system this incomplete star formed from Sanguimancy energy will follow in the future or how will it develop, those are things for the future, that I don't know its answer about right now.
Now for those who are wondering about my position right now.
I have just finished killing the goblins in the last settlement that is at the end of the fourth floor.
After I rested for a while to regain my health and drank some blood from the bags I placed in my inventory.
I started searching around for a key.
What would that Key be for?
Silly.
Of course to open the boss's floor, which is the last one.
I already have 3 pieces of the key, and only the last one is missing.
The other pieces, I managed to collect them from random places on the first three floors.
On the first floor, I just found it lying around on one of the goblins' bodies at the end of the first floor.
On the second floor, I found the second part of the key on the body of a goblin Assassin.
As for the third part, it was in the house of one of the goblins lying on the floor in one of the settlements on the third floor.
It is like the pieces were just thrown randomly on the four floors with no specific pattern for them.
After searching for a while, I found what I was looking for, a small piece of the incomplete key in my inventory.
When I touched the key, the other 3 pieces came out from my inventory and made a small little light show by turning the area around me a little crimson and then they combined into a complete key that fell right in my hands.
[Congratulations, you have managed to finish the first four floors and managed to collect the scattered parts of the key, and combined them into a complete Key]
[You have gained The Key to the Realm Beyond.]
Seeing this, Max was a little startled, after all, what he is holding now appeared to be an ordinary rusty Key with nothing worth mentioning on the key.
Focusing a little on the Key to see if there is anything special on the Key, he found nothing on its small body, no runes, ancient language, or anything at all.
Just a rusty key.
That made Max even more curious about its abilities, as with this impressive name, it should have at least an impressive ability, even if its form is not impressive.
After all, looks can be deceiving.
So focusing on the Key while asking Lena to show the key status.
A system screen appeared in front of Max, but this time it was a golden screen unlike the usually crimson one, and when Max saw the description shown by the system, he just the system.
