[For 15 minutes:15 levels have been granted.]
"WOOOO!!" X3
"Good job pups!" I said as I rubbed their bloodied fur.

"Amazing! I've already gotten 125 stat points, and my [Projection] went up by a level. I should learn something other than fire if I want to use it more. 50 points to Physique, 50 to Mana, and 25 to Spirit!"
[Applying significant percentage of stats. Bracing is advised.]
"Braci-"
*BOOM!*
An explosion of energy struck my cells and permeated through every fiber of my being, going all the way from my soul to my bone, to my flesh, to my skin. A qualitative change from a 100% increase in stats.
For a few moments, my body was frozen and my mind was overwhelmed by a feeling of strange euphoria as If I had reached the top of the world and stood over it as its ruler. I had no doubt that none of the world's drugs could compare to that feeling of satisfaction and achievement artificially given by the significant increase in stats. I didn't give a shit about drugs even though I grew up amongst them but that feeling definitely surpassed them and bordered on addictive.
"Haaaaah~!" I exhaled as the explosion of energy reached its peak and my body began to settle. For a solid minute, however, I stood there in awe of what I had just experienced.
[Will you continue, climber [John Avery]?]
"Ah yes! Continue the mission." I finally snapped out of it as the notification appeared.
[Mission will now begin.]
[The new goal is to survive 5 Minutes against the A-rank [Blood Orc Duo]. Best of luck, climber.]
"A-rank? That's a bit too much but I'll only know once I try.."
*SCRAPEEE!*
"Come forth prey, let us fight!" said a monstrous voice as the sound of metal scratching the cobblestone resounded.
Soon a large orc with blood-red skin and a giant mace in his hands came forward.
"So you're my opponent?" I asked.
"Me and him." the blood-red orc with a mace pointed behind him. A strange patch of darkness moved around slightly.
"This'll be troublesome huh? Go wolves!"
"WOOO!!"
The wolves attacked and their claws were only an inch from the orc as the mace came down and dispersed the wolves into nothing.
"So strong!" I shouted as I released my fireballs at the orc.
*PHESH!*
An arrow appeared from behind the orc and intercepted the fireballs.
"Fuc-"
*PHESH!*
In an instant another arrow struck me.
[You have die- ERROR ERROR ERROR]
"The prey is dead already? He was too wea-"
"Fuck!"
"He lives?! I'll just kill it again then!"
*BOOM!* his mace struck the ground as I dodged into the air and covered my body with [Enhancement] and then just as I was about to make contact another arrow came forth.
"This'll hurt or-"
*PHESH!*
[You have die- ERROR ERROR ERROR]
"Fuck again!"
I leaped forward again and attacked with my full force.
*BANG!* my fist was blocked by the mace.
"Still alive?!" the orc looked shocked as he suddenly increased his speed and struck down with his mace.
*BOOM!*
[You have die- ERROR ERROR ERROR]
Again and again my attacks would be blocked and even when they went through, the hidden archer swiftly took my head. Even when I sent the wolves so the archer would be occupied I couldn't damage the mace orc on my own.
In the end.
[You have die- ERROR ERROR ERROR]
Again.
And again.
[You have die- ERROR ERROR ERROR]
And again.
[You have die- ERROR ERROR ERROR]

[You have survived for 20 Minutes. 2nd Floor perfectly cleared.]
[Rewards will be distributed in the safe room.]
[Teleporting, climber [John Avery].]
"Weak prey ran away!"l
"Keck! He was a waste of my arrows!"
In an instant I was back on the safe room's bed.
*BANG!*
I punched the wall.
"Fuck! I died nearly 30 times and I couldn't hurt them even once!"
My frustration was at its limit. My weakness and lack of experience had finally shown themselves.
"I might be immortal but what's the use if I'm just repeatedly killed.."
"Woo?"X3
"I'm okay, pups. We've just gotten started.. A-ranl won't even be worth mentioning soon enough!"
"Wooo!"
My anger and conviction toiled to the limit as [Cold Heart] made my rage and thirst for revenge reach its peak.
[Will you enter the 3rd floor?]
"Not now, I need to check out the [Shop] first."
Instantly the shop panel appeared…
