Ace, a young man of striking appearance, with a complexion reminiscent of sun-kissed olive, a hue that seemed to glow with a warmth that echoed his adventurous spirit. His tousled messy brown hair framed his face, adding rugged charm to his handsome features. Standing tall at an impressive 6'3", Ace's stature exuded a sense of strength and confidence, hinting at the physical strength that lay beneath his chiselled exterior. Whether clad in a crisp white crop top that hinted at the sculpted muscles beneath or a sleek black singlet that accentuated his athletic build. Paired with dark jeans that hugged his form in all the right places or gym shorts that allowed for freedom of movement, Ace's fashion sense reflected a blend of casual comfort and style.
Ace studies under a harsh martial arts Instructor, who teaches him all about how to fight in hand to hand combat. Ace often gets beaten up and bruised but that's nothing compared to a dungeon.
________________________________________
Today is the day that Ace is going to venture into his home town's dungeon also known as The Dungeon of Endless Forest. This dungeon has a magical aura around it which keeps plant life and trees growing at a rapid rate, the inside of the dungeon hasn't been explored much but what is known is the inside is a huge forest with towering trees as thick as houses and there are a viarity of giant insects and birds. (All creatures in the dungeons have a small chance to drop blessing shards, which can upgrade the blessings of others or grant new ones)
As Ace approaches the entrance of the dungeon he can feel the immense pressure on his body, thinking to himself if it wasn't for the training he went through this would of scared him half to death.
This pressure on Ace feels almost like facing death itself. Ace starts climbing the old cobble stairs that are covered in moss and vines, he approaches an old wooden door and pushes it open and automatically finds himself in the middle of a forest with eerie silence surrounding him.
Ace immediately activates his meteor shield blessing, and with a faint glow a metal shield that feels weightless in his hands appears. The metal shield has dents and divits all along it showing it as being a ordinary beaten shield.
Ace keeps looking around and figuring out how to get out as well as how to move forward. As he is moving he hears a light buzz behind him, he anxiously turned around to see a giant bee behind him probably about 15-20 meters away from him.

Ace uses his aura to feel the combat rating of this monster and feels that this monster is weaker than him. Ace prepares to deal with this Bee using his shield and hands, he activates his stat boost blessing to increase his combat rating by 15 points, bringing his combat rating to 33 points. Ace feels the power flow through his body and he charges at the Bee with haste. He jumps at the Bee and the Bee tries to strike him with his stinger, Ace uses the shield to block and the sound of metal hitting agains each other rang out and the impact sent the Bee flying to the ground with a thud. Ace landed with a stumble and nearly fell over, his stamina depleting as he is standing there. He runs at the Bee as it's still on its back and punches it. The Bee goes limp and disintagrates leaving behind a Blessing shard.
Ace picks up the blessing shard and notices it's an enhancement shard. He needs 10 of these to get a new blessing or to upgrade the one he has. He stores it in his pocket and decides it's time to take a break and he sits down.
As he sits down he looks at his stats:

Ace gets back up to hope to find a warp rock to get out of the dungeon and show his master that he can finally go to the difficult dungeons and travel.
It starts getting dark and Ace decides to find a small hollow of a tree and sleep for a bit to recover some stamina. As he find a small hollow a giant forest scorpion comes out of it and tries to attack him he barely dodges.

Ace immediately pulls out his shield and the Forest scorpion strikes hitting the shield with a big shockwave sending Ace flying into a tree. Coughing Ace gets back up and springs forward launching a punch attack that did very little to the exoskeleton of the scorpion. Ace decided to run away as he is not able to defeat this monster at this time despite having a higher combat rating. Ace uses his full speed to run away and flew out manuvering the scorpion in the hilly land full of towering eerie trees.
Ace finally finds a spot to rest and take a break to recover his stamina.
