"I'm still alive, I thought HP finished."
Leo glances at his Status Window.
"I See, I have Four lives remaining. Wait, HP 150? When did it go up?"

"Oh yeah, The penalty. Looks like I'm continuing from where I stopped. And my penalty also has gone up, and I have to do this for two months."
Leo stands up and dusts himself.
"But since my health is full, I think I will be able to do it."
Leo stands with a smug look on his face and lightning strikes him down.
"Why?!!"
Leo starts doing his penalty. He starts with doing 2,000 Push-ups which takes him days to complete. Following up is 2,000 Seat ups which also takes days and then he does a 2,000 Km Sprint.
On his last week, he battles with the Lava Monsters and he's solely slayed all of them.

Grey's Long Sword (LV.1) (Damage +2)
"Great, I'm slowly leveling up. Wait, 20? Does time still flow in the Dungeon? So that's how long I've been here."
The Demonic Beasts come out of hiding and approach Leo.
{Objective: Defeat 200 Enemies in One Hour}
{Reward: New Skills}
"I defeated 199 the last time, so it restarted. This is just like a video game. I won't let my guard down."
{Item Equipped: Grey's Long Sword}
The Demonic beasts charge in for Leo and Leo crouches and leaps for them.
"I should try infusing my sword with mana since my mana is now high."

{MP:120/150}
Leo decapitates two Demonic Beasts at the same time.
{XP +4 Gained}
(They're much stronger than before.)
One swings at him but he cuts off its arm and decapitates it. A Demonic Beast flies for him but he cuts it in half.
Three Demonic Beasts jump for him but he swings his mana-infused sword to cut them down.
"Just keep coming, I know that's not all you have."
{Enemies Defeated:6/200}
(This is still not enough.)
Leo uses his agility to charge in for the Demonic Beasts at a high speed and keeps cutting down one by one.
He steps on one Demonic beast and leaps for the one flying and cuts it in half. He uses the Falling Demonic Beast to leap for the others and decapitates them.
Leo lands and decapitates three Demonic Beasts at the same time. He senses a kick coming and he blocks it but it pushes him back.
"So the Boss of the Level has finally come. You just wait your turn because all this won't end if I kill you on the spot."
The Demonic Beast smirks at him. Leo turns away and leaps for another Demonic Beast. He decapitates the Demonic Beast and leaps for the Giant-looking beast and cuts it in half.
One swings at him and he blocks it with his sword and cuts the Beast in half.
(I really have grown a bunch.)
The Demonic beast Flinches and tries to run but Leo leaps for it and slashes it into two. The other Demonic Beasts see this and charge in for Leo.
Leo dodges their attacks and keeps cutting them down. The Level Boss looks at Leo with a grin on its face.
(It took me 45 minutes just to kill its minions. Now it's only down to him.)
{Enemies Defeated:199/200}
Leo and the Level Boss slowly walk towards each other. The Demonic Beast grins and throws a hook at Leo but Leo moves back and dodges its hook.
It leaps for Leo and throws an axe handle kick but Leo blocks with his forearm causing the ground to split.
Leo grabs its Leg and throws it away but the Level Boss balances and leaps back for Leo. Both of their fists collide sending out a large shockwave.
They keep clashing which causes cracks around the cave. They both move back and leap for each other once more.
The Demonic Beast tries to connect a kick rush but Leo blocks all of it and connects a kick to the head sending the Level Boss flying.
He appears above the Demonic Beast and and steps on it crashing through the base of the cave.
Leo grabs the Demonic Beast and throws it back to higher ground and uses the pillars to jump back up.
{Time Remaining:00:00:05:15}
"Playtime's Over."
Leo lands on the ground and gets into a stance. The Level Boss leaps around the cave at full speed and appears Behind Leo.
It tries to connect a kick but Leo ducks and quickly turns around and slashes off the Demonic Beast's head.

"Master of Swords?"
A Large Magic Circle is drawn beneath Leo and a large light appears which transports Leo to the next level. The Next stage is an Abandoned City. Leo lets out a long breath and gets in a stance.
"An Abandoned City now? If I wish to escape, I'll have to clear everything. Bring it on, Damn Devils."
