Opening Rare Chest x1!
Silver Javelin - Rare
This time, I received a spear.
Although I did not hold enough talent with the spear to rise to the top with it, my skill was more than enough to take care of some trash mobs in the tutorial.
Even then, I had to be a little cautious, there would be 4 more stages including the one right now, and I wasn't entirely sure what would appear.
I knew at least for the fourth stage there would be an troll, but I had no idea what might come after.
I didn't talk to many people in my last life.
The troll that would appear shortly would boast high speed regeneration, durability and physical strength, albeit slightly downgraded for the sake of the tutorial.
I wielded the javelin in my hand and readied myself to throw it.
[Tutorial Phase One Stage Four]
A large monster, almost double my own height of 6 foot, appeared.
From this moment onward I had decided to fight with more seriousness.
A troll would regenerate lost limbs and organs.
It had 2 weaknesses, the heart and brain.
Whoosh!
I threw the Javelin with all the strength I had.
Hwak!
The troll immediately coughed up a putrid green blood.
I remained unphased as some of it splattered upon my white hair.

This was not something I had expected...
I was well aware that the tutorial kept records for many accomplishments, but I was unaware that such records were kept even for the tutorial.
If that were the case, then I would have to defeat everything as quickly as possible.
First, I checked my status window.
[Status]
Zeon Cross
Classless
Level 9
Strength 34
Speed 22 (+5)
Endurance 11
Magic 13
My strength and speed were considerable, but I had low endurance.
Endurance never mattered much to me as my opinion was always quite simply ; just dodge.
As for magic, it wasn't a priority for now.
I opened my chests after placing the now bloody javelin into my inventory.

Hunter's Top - Rare
Hunter's Leggings - Rare
Opening Epic Chest x1!
Inferno Staff x1 - Epic
I was extremely pleased with my rewards.
Previously, I only had the clothes I was initially teleported with, a simple grey hoodie and blue jeans.
Now, I had something decent.
The hunters top and leggings each gave +7 speed and gave a 3 piece set when paired with the gloves I received previously.
Hunter Armor 3 Piece Set Bonus Achieved!
Hunter's Bloodlust - Inflicted wounds bleed more severely and take slightly longer to heal.
It was far from the bonuses one could get from a legendary armor set, but it was great for the point which I was at.
And as for the weapon, it was a great find.
The inferno staff, as it's name suggested, was a staff based around fire magic.
It could be used to concentrate mana into a powerful beam of fire, and the longer the beam was held, the more damage it did.
It was also a different weapon from what I had used up until now, meaning I could expand the class options I would receive even further.
Continue to Stage Five or Exit?
I clicked the continue option on the blue panel.
Continuing....
[Tutorial Phase One Stage Five]
A massive stone being appeared in front of me, clearly a golem.
'Hmmm.... this guy is slow but strong, it's a good thing I have considerable speed.'
The golem was an opponent which was risky to face head on.
I moved back several paces and pulled out the inferno staff.
Physical attacks would be useless against the rocky form of the golem.
But, it had one obvious weakness.
'That core at the center.... That's how I'll clear it!'
I focused the magical beam on the glowing blue core.
Of course, I did not just stand still whilst I attacked.
The golem was moving towards me, slightly faster than I had expected, but nothing beyond my abilities.
I kited it around the field until the core started cracking.
At which point I stopped using the staff and decided to finish it quickly.
'With this much strength.. It should be fine.'
Thump!
The golems large fist fell to my previous position.
I dashed underneath it and found myself behind it.
The core was clearly exposed to me, and I cupped my fists together to make a hammer.
I slammed them down on the cracked core and smashed it to pieces.
The blue light faded.

I was unsure if I would be able to set a record this time, but it seems I had underestimated myself.
Well, it would be absurd to think that a newbie under level 10 managed to take out a golem within seconds.
Opening Epic Chest x2!
Acceleration Sigil - Uncommon
Slayer Sword - Epic
My eyes widened in shock.
Sigils were exceedingly hard to obtain within the tower, allowing a user to obtain extra skills unrelated to their class.
Even from epic and legendary chests, sigils were extremely rare.
Although it was only uncommon, I was not at all disappointed.
As for the sword, it was a good find, but it was vastly overshadowed by the sigil.
I looked over the ability of the sigil.
Acceleration Sigil - Uncommon
Doubles the user's speed for 15 seconds.
It was a simple ability, but an incredibly useful one nevertheless.
Being able to take an enemy by surprise by suddenly doubling my speed would be lethal.
I equipped the sigil and felt a slight burning sensation on the back of my hand.
I looked over it and saw an X symbol, glowing a light blue hue.
As the sensation subsided, so did the glowing.
I put the staff in my inventory and equipped the sword, ready for the next stage.
