Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 : Floor 1

As Mingyu ascend the staircase to the first floor, he feels his adrenaline pumping. Then, he enters a dimly lit room with torches flickering on the walls. He notices that he has a sword at his hand. In the centre of the room stands a towering creature with rippling muscles and razor-sharp claws. 

The creature roars and charges at him. He quickly assesses his options and decide to engage the creature in combat. 

"This is what I am training for".

Mingyu heart is pounding, he makes the first move. He swings his weapon at the creature, but it easily dodges out of the way. The creature lunges at him with its claws, but he manages to dodge the attack just in time. 

"Wah it fast, I need to think".

As he continues to fight the creature, Mingyu focus on timing his attacks and dodges, trying to find weaknesses in the creature's movements. 

"So that it"

"This monster tends to leave itself open after a particularly strong attack".

So, he takes advantage of this and strike it with a powerful blow. The creature roars in pain, but it doesn't go down easily. As the battle wears on, Mingyu start to feel the strain on his body.

His muscles ache and breathing become laboured. But he refuses to give up. He keeps fighting, determined to emerge victorious. 

"I can give after so long I've been waited to take revenge".

Finally, after what feels like an eternity, the creature lets out a final roar and collapses to the ground. Mingyu stand over it, panting and covered in sweat.

He feels a sense of triumph and relief wash over him as he realizes that he defeated your first real opponent. 

"So, this is how it feel after kill a monster for the first time".

Mingyu take a moment to catch his breath before searching the creature's body for any valuable loot. He finds a few coins, a potion, and a strange amulet that glows faintly in his hand.

The amulet shine brightly then Mingyu being teleport out of the cave and arrive at the middle of the town.

As Mingyu looks around, he realizes that he is in the town square. 

Floor 1 Challenge 

Kill goblin (0/30) 

Kill goblin archer (0/10) 

Kill goblin chief (0/1) 

Challenge windows pop up in front Kim Mingyu. 

"So, this a challenge that must be clear every floor." 

The resident here is just like at earth the only difference is the town is look like a medieval era. Even though the people just appear in the middle of the town there was no one that give attention to them. 

As Mingyu strolls through the town, he decides to explore its offerings before facing the impending challenge. The streets are alive with activity, leading him to a bustling marketplace. Vendors line the streets, their stalls brimming with an array of goods—weapons, armor, potions, and even enticing food.

"This place seems to have everything I need. Better check out what they have to offer."

He approaches the marketplace, the aroma of various foods wafting through the air. Merchants hawk their wares, each trying to catch his attention.

"Fine weapons and armor! The best in town!"

Mingyu glances around and spots an inviting inn, a blacksmith's shop with a clanging anvil in the background, and a notice board displaying various quests and requests.

"Maybe I should take a look at those quests before venturing into the tower. It could provide valuable information and rewards."

As he peruses the quests, he notices a library nearby, its shelves filled with ancient tomes and scrolls.

"Knowledge is power. I should gather information about the tower before I dive in."

Mingyu heads towards the library, its entrance adorned with ancient scrolls and a wooden door that creaks as he pushes it open. Inside, he is greeted by a friendly librarian named Sophie. She smiles warmly as Mingyu approaches.

"Welcome to our library! How may I assist you today?"

"I'm here to learn more about the tower. I plan to face its challenges and could use some information."

"Ah, the tower. A place filled with mysteries and perils. Let me share what I know."

Sophie guides Mingyu to a section filled with books and scrolls about the tower. She explains that the tower comprises multiple floors, each presenting unique challenges and dangers. To progress to the next floor, Mingyu must either complete a set of tasks or face and defeat a powerful monster guarding the way.

"The tower is a test of both skill and wits. Be prepared for the unexpected on each floor, and remember, knowledge is your greatest ally."

Mingyu nods appreciatively, taking Sophie's advice to heart. He spends the next hours immersed in the library's vast collection, absorbing knowledge about the tower's various floors, their unique challenges, and the creatures that might await him. The soft rustle of turning pages fills the air as Mingyu delves deeper into the accumulated wisdom of the library.

Sophie periodically checks in on him, offering additional insights and pointing out particularly valuable scrolls. As Mingyu reads, he learns about the tower's unpredictable nature and the importance of adaptability in the face of evolving challenges.

"Remember, Mingyu, each floor has its own unique features. Environments change, and new creatures await. Gather as much information as you can. Knowledge is power."

Mingyu, now in the bustling marketplace, takes in the variety of vendors selling different items. The weaponsmith's stall showcases an array of finely crafted swords, axes, and bows. The armor vendor has a collection of chainmail and leather armor on display, while the potion vendor arranges colorful vials containing health and mana potions.

Mingyu approaches the weaponsmith, who greets him with a friendly smile.

"My name is Haden, are you looking for a reliable weapon, adventurer? I've got swords with finely honed edges, sturdy axes, and bows for those who prefer to strike from a distance. What can I get you?"

Mingyu considers his options, thinking about the challenges he might face in the tower.

"I'll take a sturdy sword. Something versatile."

"Excellent choice! This blade has served many adventurers well. May it bring you triumph in your journey."

With a new sword at his side, Mingyu moves on to the armor vendor.

"In need of protection, brave one? I've got chainmail that will deflect blows and lightweight leather armor for nimble maneuvers. What suits your style?"

Mingyu, mindful of both defense and agility, opts for a set of leather armor.

"I'll go with the leather armor. I need to move swiftly."

"A wise decision! May it shield you from harm on your path."

Lastly, Mingyu approaches the potion vendor.

"Health and mana potions for the discerning adventurer! Are you in need of magical restoration or a quick mending of wounds?"

Mingyu decides to purchase a couple of health potions.

"I'll take two health potions. Better safe than sorry."

"Smart choice! May they aid you in times of need."

Having secured his supplies, Mingyu decides to explore the training ground. The training ground, as he learned from the library, is a place where adventurers can enhance their skills and abilities. It's not only a space for physical training but also a hub for honing magical and combat skills.
