Chapter 8 — Good Luck that attracts misfortune
BANG!
A fireball hit right at his abdomen, making a mess of his internal organs.
The fireball had destroyed almost the whole lower body if not for the skill-Regeneration taking effect instantly.
The charred body turned back into normal, but it still laid down on the ground.
Elias was hallucinating with his blurred vision, high-pitched ringing sound, only to calm down in the following few seconds.
He stood up on the ground and immediately dashed towards the goblin shaman. His green reptilian like eyes shined with a golden glint for a moment and then-
[- 200 MP]
The goblin shaman's hand that held the skeleton hand turned into a stone.
"K-Kiek Keikkkk?!" The goblin surprised with its hand's condition stopped the chanting midway and before it could realise -
Slash!
The shaman only saw his beheaded body on the ground before slumbering in eternal darkness.
[You've killed an Abyssal Goblin (Shaman)]
[Gained 50 Exp]
[You have 1 stat point.]
[You've leveled up.]
[Stat points + 2]
As soon as the kill notification appeared, Elias grabbed the skeleton hand along with the orb held by it and immediately ran faraway from the sight of the dungeon's entrance.
He kept on running away until he found a safe surrounding to his fitting.
An area surrounded by a small swamp like environment oozing with pungent smell. There was also a dungeon here.
{Dungeon Name - Slime's Cave
Dungeon Grade - F
Dungeon State - Overpopulated}
He sighed a relief and sat down, fell on his back. It was a little muddy, but he didn't mind. At least there were no goblins attacking him.

He looked at the stats and found that his stamina was increasing much faster than the strength and agility.
"Oi system! What's increasing it so quickly?"
[Regeneration (S) - With the earth's blessing, you will be able to regenerate your body at an abnormally fast speed when in contact with earth. The heart and brain will not be regenerated. Your stamina and health would not deplete, and your stamina will also improve quickly. Effect of Healing type spells and artifacts +100%. When not on the ground, Stamina and MP will be used for regeneration.]
Looking at the skill's information, Elias frowned deeply.
"As long as it's an earth environment... it won't cost me much, but away from it would be a difficult situation for me."
"So If I just keep on running and doing strenuous work without worrying about the stamina depleting, then I can survive. It's not that hard, I guess?" He asked the system.
[Petrifying Gaze (F~A) - A growth type skill specialized in turning the object or organism into stone. The usage of mana depends on the target and its strength. If the target is stronger than the user, mana cost will double.]
[You should be happy with the luck stat that you have. Even dragons don't have that kind of numbers.]
"48 is that good?" Elias thought with excitement.
"But didn't I still get attacked by a hell difficulty dungeon break? And I almost lost my leg." He frowned intently.
[It is so good that dragons will kill you in envy and relish your every drop of blood.]
[Yet, You are still alive.] The system was ruthless.
"..." Another critical hit.
"Show me that other notification when I grabbed the sword." Elias immediately changed the topic.
[You've obtained a sword. You've unlocked the titles of the "Blades of Valor" series.
The titles are 1. Swordsman, 2. Knight, 3. Samurai, 4. Blademaster...]
[You can switch between the titles and learn their skills. Now choose one.]
The system was asked with disdain.
"Choose the swordsman." Elias immediately chose the No. 1 option.
[Under the title effect of Swordsman, you can learn all of its skills.
The skills are 1. Sword Handling, 2. Shadow Step, 3. Slicing Strike, 4. Double Slash, 5. Silent Slash...]
[Current skills in effect: Sword Handling (0.09), Slash (0.01), Shadow Step (0.28)]
[Swordsman (Novice)- 1/1000]
"Why is the Novice proficiency 1000?!" He couldn't help but lash out.
[I can't change my built in functions even if I want to.]
"But-"
[Don't you have endless stamina? Then stop complaining and get to work, damn it!]
With the system's ruthless reply, Elias remained silent.
He looked at the sky and saw that it was not even half a day had passed away so he made a crude plan of increasing his skills till the night and finally venture inside the Slime dungeon.
