As the last specks of dust settled in the Goblin Commander's lair, Jimin took a moment to catch his breath. A rush of exhilaration coursed through him as he surveyed the battlefield, littered with defeated foes—the fruits of his epic battle. His heart raced at the thought of what lay ahead; he had proven himself against the impossible, and his legend was on the verge of unfolding.
With a swagger that could put any action hero to shame, Jimin approached the ominous black portal marking the dungeon's exit. He placed a hand on the cool, dark surface, feeling that familiar jolt of energy surge through him. With one last dramatic breath (a compulsory move for any hero), he stepped through the portal, launching himself into a tunnel of swirling lights and colors—like a victory parade just for him.
When he emerged into the grove at the Goblin Forest entrance, warm light enveloped him, a stark contrast to the dungeon's dark atmosphere. But the moment he stepped out, everything changed.
A breathtaking spectacle awaited him: the Dungeon Hall of No. 9 Senior High School was transformed into a sea of students and faculty, all gathered to witness his return. Gasps echoed, and mere seconds later, a chorus of applause erupted, engulfing him like a roaring tide.
"Jimin! Jimin! Jimin!" they chanted, their cheers rising in enthusiastic harmony. students stood on benches, and all around him, voices proclaimed, "He did it! He really did it!" Disbelief quickly morphed into celebration.
Jimin could only blink in awe, a mix of joy and embarrassment flooding his senses. "Wow, I'm not just Jimin anymore," he thought. "I'm Jimin the Hero!" He could almost feel pride swelling in his chest, basking in the support and camaraderie around him, like a rockstar soaking in the spotlight.
From the back of the crowd, a student's boisterous voice cut through the noise. "Look at him! Jimin took down the Goblin Commander and came back in one piece! Our absolute legend!" His excitement was infectious, sending the crowd into another round of cheers, their adulation palpable.
Meanwhile, a group of high-profile university heads from the Lion Kingdom stood off to the side, their skeptically raised eyebrows now replaced with astonishment. These were the talent scouts, famed for finding up-and-coming heroes. With palpable urgency, they fished out their communication devices, practically buzzing with excitement.
"Have you heard? A student from No. 9 just defeated the Goblin Commander on Hell difficulty!" one exclaimed, his voice barely containing a giddy tremor. "We have to let the academy heads know immediately!"
"Yes! Get them on the line! Think of all the accolades! This kid's a diamond in the rough!" another scout chimed in, all but bouncing on his feet as if he had just chugged a few cups of coffee. The buzz of excitement among them was electric, and it only added to the fervor of the crowd.
As cheers rose to a crescendo, Principal Umar Steel made his way through the throng, resembling a proud lion among a flock of enthusiastic cubs. He exuded a sense of command and warmth that only made his arrival more impactful. When he reached Jimin, he extended a hand, and the mentor's smile brightened the atmosphere.
"Congratulations, Jimin!" Principal Steel said, shaking Jimin's hand firmly. "You've made history today! Not only did you conquer the Hell Level Goblin Forest Dungeon, but you've set an extraordinary example for all your peers. I couldn't be prouder!"
"Thanks, Principal Steel," Jimin replied, beaming with gratitude. "It wouldn't have been possible without Latios and Latias! They were fantastic!"
"Oh, absolutely! Your teamwork illustrates how crucial it is to collaborate for success," the principal nodded, his eyes glinting with pride. "I say we order a banner for you next. 'Jimin: Slayer of Goblins!' What do you think?"
Jimin laughed, his embarrassment turning into delight. "As long as it's not too flashy!"
The crowd roared with laughter, and the cheers swelled even louder. Students exchanged glances filled with hope and inspiration, each one reflecting on the implications of Jimin's incredible journey. "Wow, if he can do that, what's stopping us?" someone whispered in amazement.
A student, ever the dramatist, raised his voice, "What's next, Jimin? Are you going to tackle the Novice Tower? I can already see it! 'Jimin the Conqueror of Towers!'"
With a sense of purpose filling him, Jimin secured his gear, ready to dive into what lay ahead. Sure, the glory he had just tasted was pretty sweet, but he was no fool—he knew the Novice Tower had challenges that would put his skills to the test.
"Before I dive into my next adventure," he murmured to himself, "I want to check the Inter-Realm Summoning System one last time.
The crowd began to disperse, but excitement still crackled in the air. Jimin made his way to a quieter corner, his heart pounding with anticipation. "System, show me my panel!" he called, and the interface flashed to life, vibrant and dazzling.
"Welcome, Jimin Lightbringer! Here are your current status and achievements!"
He scrolled through an impressive list of accolades, his grin widening. Defeating the Goblin Commander had rapidly boosted his reputation, and he eagerly noted his accumulated points—points that would unlock new skills, gear, and further advancements. "This Novice Tower better have something amazing waiting for me!" Jimin declared, invigorated just thinking about the challenge.
With newfound determination surging through him, he returned to the raucous crowd, soaking in their cheers. "Thanks, everyone! You've given me more courage and strength than I could've imagined. Let's keep pushing forward together!"
As they processed their own dreams and ambitions amid the celebration, laughter rang out—a symphony of youthful camaraderie filled with promises of future adventures.
With an air of invincibility surrounding him, Jimin took a step forward. The Novice Tower awaited, filled with challenges, potential, and the ever-elusive glory.
With one last roar of cheers echoing behind him, Jimin set his sights on the Novice Tower Dungeon, a confident grin spread across his face. "Let's make history!" he shouted, heart racing with excitement. Adventure awaited, and he was more than ready to embrace it!
As Jimin approached the ominous rectangular black ink portal of the Novice Tower Dungeon, a mixture of adrenaline and determination surged through him. The towering structure loomed above, a silent testament to the challenges that awaited any brave enough to enter. Memories of his recent triumph over the Goblin Commander flooded his mind; he had tasted victory, and now he was hungry for more.
With a steady breath, Jimin reached out to touch the portal. A sudden rush of energy enveloped him, and a message echoed in his mind, resonating with power. **"Do you wish to challenge the Novice Tower Dungeon?"**
"Yes," Jimin declared. A moment later, the world around him flickered, and he found himself standing on the first floor of the Novice Tower, the very air crackling with anticipation.
**"Welcome to the Novice Tower!"** boomed an ethereal voice. **"Prepare yourself for the trials ahead. Do you wish to challenge the first floor?"**
"Yes!" he answered, excitement coursing through him. He felt the feverish energy pulsating through the tower—a sure omen of the trials to come.
In response, the ground shook, and from the shadows emerged three Level 10 Orgs Warriors, their grotesque forms dripping with malice. They grinned, revealing jagged teeth that glinted ominously in the dim light.
"Let's see what you're made of, Summoner!" one of the Orgs sneered, tightening the grip on his crude axes.
Feeling the thrill of battle ignite within him, Jimin summoned Latios and Latias, who materialized beside him in a flurry of ethereal brilliance. "Ready to show them what we can do?" he asked his majestic allies, who nodded in response.
**"Luster Purge!"** Jimin shouted, wielding his Double Swords of Ice and Fire as he charged forward, leading the charge. The swords blazed with elemental energy, lighting the way as he launched himself into the fray.
With a powerful swing, Jimin struck the nearest Org Warrior, the icy blade connecting solidly with its side. The creature howled—but before it could retaliate, Latios flew overhead, unleashing *Dragon Breath*. A torrent of high concentrated energy engulfed the warrior and instantly scorched its hide, leaving it reeling in pain.
"Keep up the pressure!" Jimin grinned as energy surged through him. He danced around, dodging the attack of the second Org, whose heavy axe swung down in an arc meant to crush him. Jimin effortlessly sidestepped, unleashing **Blade Dance**, a rapid series of strikes that caught the second Org off guard. Blades of fire and ice flickered in the air, creating a dazzling display as he whirled around the foe.
Meanwhile, Latias, with her soothing aura, activated **Heal Pulse**, reviving the vitality of Jimin just in time to absorb a heavy blow from the final Org. Steadying himself, he retaliated swiftly. "Time to finish this!" he shouted, channeling energy as he brought down the swords in a devastating **Frostfire Enchantment**. A surge of fire and ice erupted, enveloping both remaining Orgs.
As the dust settled, the echoes of rage faded. All three Orgs crumpled to the ground, defeated. The victory was swift and thrilling. **"You've cleared the first floor!"**
Outside the tower, students clustered around, watching eagerly as Jimin faced his challenges. A student paced back and forth, excitement crackling through him. "Do you think he'll tackle 10 floor?" he asked, glancing at a group of students who shared in the mounting anticipation.
"Absolutely! He's a Summoner! Those Orgs don't stand a chance against Jimin and his summons!" a student retorted, eyes bright with admiration.
"Yeah, but it's different here. Each floor gets harder," remarked another, biting some nails in anxiety. "What if he's not ready?"
"I think he's proven himself already!" another student added, arms crossed, confidence glimmering in his eyes. "He defeated the Goblin Commander. There's nothing that can stop him!"
Back inside the tower, Jimin felt the rush of accomplishment, using the moment to recharge as the door to the second floor loomed above. **"Are you ready for the next challenge?"** the ethereal voice echoed through the tower.
"Yes!" Jimin declared, feeling the thrill of battle already swelling in his chest.
As he stepped onto the second floor, three more Level 10 Orgs Warriors joined by two Orgs Wizards and one Org Shaman appeared, their expressions ferocious and their weapons poised.
"Another batch ready to fall!" Jimin exclaimed, adrenaline coursing through him. "Let's go, team!" He gestured for Latios and Latias to take position.
The moment he initiated the attack was electric. Jimin relied on his **Elemental Infusion** to amplify his strikes as he led the charge against the incoming forces. The Orgs Warriors swung their crude weapons, but together with Latios and Latias, he was able to weave skillfully through their assaults.
Latios unleashed *Air Cutter*, sending a razor-sharp wind spiraling toward the approaching Orgs, piercing through their defenses. The wizards retaliated with fireballs, yet Jimin danced under their blasts with utmost agility.
"Latias, heal me!" he commanded, feeling the burn of exhaustion creeping in. Latias activated **Heal Pulse**, and in an instant, Jimin's vigor was renewed. *Now's my chance!* He aimed for the Shaman first, knowing their magic could prove troublesome.
The battle turned chaotic as Jimin executed a **Whirlwind Flash**, gliding through the remaining warriors, his blades painting arcs of fire and ice before striking down the Shaman. It let out a shriek as Jimin dispatched it, sparks of energy crackling through the air.
With the Shaman down, the tide of battle shifted, and the remaining warriors staggered. But just as the last Org stood before him, insurgent tension arose in Jimin's chest. The wizards conjured brilliant spells, hurling them toward him and Latios.
"Double Strikes with me, Latios!" Jimin issued the order with urgency. The two moved in tandem, blades slicing through the air as they launched targeted combinations against the wizards. Through careful strategy and powerful strikes, he dispatched them swiftly.
Truly, it was an exhilarating battle. **"You've cleared the second floor!"**
As the congratulatory message faded, Jimin caught sight of the stairwell leading to the third floor, excitement bubbling in his chest. **"I am unstoppable,"** he thought, equally thrilled and aware of what lay ahead.
Jimin pressed on, reaching the third floor where a new challenge awaited: five Level 10 Orgs Warriors, three Orgs Wizards, two Orgs Shamans, and three sneaky Orgs Assassins lurking in the shadows. The crowd's anticipation outside mirrored the internal sense of foreboding he felt—the stakes grew higher.
He quickly reviewed his resources. "Okay…this one's going to take everything I have."
Though the enemy numbers were daunting, Jimin summoned his courage. "Latios, Latias, let's give it our all!" He launched an attack, activating the **Fire Elemental Summoning** skill he had acquired earlier, watching with awe as a fiery elemental burst forth from his call, ready to incinerate foes.
The ensuing clash erupted in wild chaos as Jimin employed all the skills at his disposal. He swung his swords in a flurry of strikes while his elemental fought alongside him, engaging several of the Orgs. Latios flew high, raining **Aerial Aces** upon the unsuspecting foes below, while Latias created **Tailwind**, boosting their speed and efficiency.
With a surge of precision, Jimin maneuvered against the Orgs Assassins lurking nearby, effectively neutralizing their stealth advantage. He adapted quickly, shifting into Defensive Mode to absorb the enemies' attacks as he rallied against them.
After several grueling minutes, and with teamwork shining through every slice and spell, Jimin was victorious yet again. **"You've cleared the third floor!"**
Outside, the students erupted into animated chatter as they processed Jimin's victory. "Did you see that? He's actually doing it!" one exclaimed, while another wide-eyed student added, "He's going to take on the Orgs Necromancer real soon!"
"Can you believe it?" A student beamed, a contagious smile spreading across his face. "With each floor, he's getting stronger. I knew he had it in him!"
"Yeah, but they're going to get more dangerous," another student reminded the group, crossing his arms again with determination. "But he can do this. I believe in Jimin!"
As Jimin stationed himself at the entrance to the fourth floor, he felt alive with the thrill of combat. *This is just the beginning.* Firmly resolved to continue pushing forward, he adjusted his grip on his swords and charged ahead, ready for whatever lay in wait.
The Novice Tower was his proving ground, and Jimin Lightbringer would forge ahead—deeper into the trials, higher into the challenge, and closer to solidifying his legacy as a Summoner. With every ounce of courage thrumming in his heart, he stepped into the unknown once more, where adventure awaited at every turn.
