Hey Hilda, when are we gonna take a break? You''ve been hunting for so long since yesterday!
It''s not my fault… you''re the one who said I should reach level 45 first at least If I want to go and hunt efficiently on the second floor.
That was before you tried the weapon and I saw how good it was… and I didn''t think you''d make me use my trait like this!
—----------------------------------------------
Yesterday
—----------------------------------------------
Hey hilda
Yea?
Let''s go try my trait now, yea? She says in excitement while running and jumping around due to no longer being able to float since she has a physical body and isn''t only just a system now.
Fine.
Look, there''s a weak one right there, go try it.
Sure.
As Shila goes over to the level 7 skeleton and starts absorbing, it drops dead almost immediately as Shila glows slightly.
Wow, I guess your level is 3 times it but can you do that to multiple monsters?
Yea, each monster will be less affected but in total it''ll still be better, and the higher level they are the much slower the absorbing rate.
So if you absorb health you get health right?
I can convert the health/endurance I absorb into mana, but I don''t know the conversion rate due to mana being the only thing that can visibly decrease on the screen with health not even being a stat but it''s definitely lower.
Ok, I''m gonna go and hunt non-stop, I''ll run around and restraint them while you kill them, I get xp when you kill something right?
70 percent.
Sure, so if it means my stamina due to endurance will be able to maintain than it''s worth it, if we meet any stronger ones, I''ll use mana to kill it in one hit since there''s probably nothing that can survive a strong enough hit from me if I use mana in floor 1.
Sure, but please remember that I can get hurt now.
Hence the fact I''ll restrain them.
Fine.
—----------------------------------------------
Back to the present
—----------------------------------------------
I can''t believe you''ve been making use of me to hunt nonstop, usually you would have gotten tired from fighting already!
Yea but I''ve leveled up 3 times, isn''t it pretty good, we should just stay here since I don''t feel tired at all.
…
Once you reach 45, we''re going to floor 2.
Nah, we should just stay and since skills don''t depend too much on the strength l of what I am killing, my spatial magic hit level 7 now andsword qi’s level 11, why hasn''t it hit max level?
Sword qi is unique, its max level is 99.
… Nice? But fine let''s go to floor 2 already
Finally!!! And help me buy some skills too.
Why should I? Your leech ability is sufficient and it doesn''t take mana either.
… But me skills.
No Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
Then I won''t use my ability for you.
Then I won''t give you the food box.
You are a liar, you owe me the box you piece of shit.
Nah.
Fineeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I''ll use my damn skill, I''m just asking for some skills, not even expensive ones.
Hey, I''ve already spent 10,000 points on your upgrade, I''m not spending any more on you.
Cheapskate.
So what?
Fine, whatever let''s just go to level two already.
Level up.
All stats +1.
Trait has been slightly improved.
Oh nice, perfect timing, let''s go.
Sure, let''s go.
Shila starts running Infront of Hilda and getting close to her face looking oddly excited with her arms behind her back.
What are you doing?
What?
Why are you so enthusiastic?
I''m just excited for the next level.
Don''t give me that rubbish, I upgraded you, you probably already have some info about the second floor.
Nope, so let''s just go already okay?
Notification.
Skill “low level field magic” has been bought.
(cost:100)
… As Hilda reads the notification that just appeared beside her she turns to Shila whose sweating bullets bullets as she gulps.
Shila.
Yes?
What is field magic? And If it wasn''t worth 100 points, you''re dead.
You can''t hurt me.
Not anymore, your body is physical now ain''t it? Hilda says while gently pulling Shila''s cheeks making her nervous.
So, wanna tell me what it does now?
Yes Ma''am. Shila immediately salutes and starts explaining the skills while sweating bullets.
Field magic affects the area around me. Shila says, still saluting, and somehow looking more nervous than before.
Like?
Slowing the opponents around me, or dealing damage.
How much?
Different effects are differently effective.
Fine, does having a higher level help?
Yea.
It''s a passive skill right?
Yes.
Can you remove the effect if needed?
Yea.
Can you target a specific person or entity?
No.
Can the range be increased?
No
… Fine, I won''t hold much of a grudge.
Thank you, your my god, I''ll worship you from today onwards!
Shut it, you''re gonna compensate by hurrying up instead of being so slow in my hunting on floor 2, and give me all the info on floor 2 you''ve got.
Fine, floor 1 is just generalized for users to get used to, but each floor up to floor 10 only has monsters specialized in a specific aspect.
What''s floor 2?
… Something you hate.
Huh?
Remember the dungeon?
Yea what about it?
Yea, everything is undead, you got an undead achievement for bosses, so that''s an advantage but you might want to hunt quickly and ditch it.
Great… just send me already…
Floor 2 boss is level 100 btw.
So since it''ll all have a 50 percent buff I should reach level 150?
No, the systems here today help you with skills, something those lifeforms don''t have, so skills will be your advantage, killing higher level monsters with skills is actually gonna get a lot more normal than you think.
Great… just send me there.
Sure.
As Shila sends them both to the second floor, Hilda looks around and immediately feels goosebumps all over her body as she starts off on a normal patch of grass about a hundred meters in diameters but with eh outside clearly being nothing but dirt, dead trees, undead, and graves being extremely similar to the dungeon, but she can see a couple of abominations very far away, with there only being a few in a couple kilometers align with some other monsters which looks as strong as the abominations
What''s going on? Aren''t abominations monsters?
Maybe on the first floor and the dungeon they are, not in here though.
Great… this is going to be an actual nightmare, let''s hurry and go hunt, I''m ditching out of here as soon as possible.
Fine.
For the next few days Hilda and Shila kept hunting and hunting making Shila disappear back into the system as a protest for the unfair treatment and lack of rest.
… When is she gonna come back? I''ve gotten used to it but it''s still kinda scary especially the bosses which are considered just strong monsters here that I need to keep running away from.
Let me just check the leaderboard first, luckily I can still do this without Shila around.
Black(level 50)
Aiden(level 48)
Red(level 45)
Aileen(level 43)
Purple (level 41)
Leah(level 34)
Yellow(level 31)
Green(level 29)
John(level 28)
Blue(level 28)
Why are the lower level ones so low?
Because they''re still stuck at floor 1 and floor 2 is too strong since the minimum strength of monsters here is 30 and they''re usually in small groups.
Oh, when did you return?
Just now… let me make this clear, I''m not going hunting for days again.
Fine but do you think I''m high enough level for the dungeon yet?
Hell no!
But the suggested level is 40 and I''m 50.
Yea, and the recommended amount of players is 4, your 1, did you fail maths?
I''m a diligent student alright?
Bullshit.
So what?
… If you want to hunt faster, why not just attack from far away?
How?
…
No seriously, how?
Use your sword qi…
Oh yea, that was a function right?
Have you… never used it before?
Nope.
Even though your sword qi’s at level 13 now?
My spatial magics also at 8 you know?
I didn''t ask for that, I can check.
I know, just changing the topic.
…
Anyways, how do I do it? Do I just use sword qi on my sword and swing at?
Basical-
Hilda uses sword qi on her sword and swings it at Shila before she can finish her sentence as she barely dodged causing decent damage to the ground behind.
You piece of shit!
Wow, looks like it''s easy enough.
Oi!
Yes? Hilda says feigning innocence while smiling with a hint of mischievousness.
You''re an irritating person, you know?
My specialty.
It''s not a compliment!
So what? I took it as one.
Sincerely go die.
How rude.
…
Whatever, since your back let''s go and continue hunting okay? We''ve rested long enough in this hell hole already and the white guy… oh yea, Aiden that''s right is gonna catch up soon.
I''m not gonna.
As Shila starts to disappear again, Hilda grabs her by the arm and feigns an innocent smile.
Noooooo, I don''t want toooooo.
Let''s have a bunch of fun together, yea?
Hilda says, still with the menacing smile, making Shila regret coming back.
