Give or take a couple weeks later(lazy to do lines)
…
Hey shila.
…
Shila.
…
Come on, I know we took less than like…
Hilda uses her fingers to start counting.
3… no 4 breaks over the past couple of weeks, but isn''t that enough?
…
Hey, I''m only level 60 now with white behind me by 3 at 57, it''s not my fault leveling up has gotten so slow, ever since level 51, the amount of xp has been increasing by 50 percent everyday you know?
How about this? Well go do the dungeon on floor 1 before it becomes useless especially since I''ve got 20K points from hunting all the monsters and even some abominations along with those weird wraith masses which honestly hurt my wallet quite a bit…
………………………….
After the dungeon I swear we''ll take a 3… no 2…. 1 and a half days break okay?
4.
1 and a half.
4.
1.
5.
Hey, you''re a terrible negotiator you know?
3…
2.
Fine…
Ok let''s go, send us to floor 1 now.
Fine.
As Shila sends them both to floor one, Hilda immediately starts rushing full speed to the dungeon, dragging Shila along using the invisible barrier due to Shila not being able to be a kilometer further than Hilda.
Slow down!!! Shila gets sent into another tree, face first, easily knocking the tree down but still in slight pain as she looks up and sees that they''re about to enter the forest.
Are you kiddi–
(For your imagination dear readers, if this scene was irl, it''d be like deforestation using a machine in a straight line…)
Couple hours later(I''m still lazy to draw the lines)
Hilda stands proudly at the dungeon, making sure to avoid eye contact with Shila whose face looks like it has grown twice the size and most likely glaring at her.
So Shila I have a question. Hilda says still not turning to look back at Shila.
Yes?
Why does floor 2 have no mini bosses?
Oh that''s simple, it''s because.
Because?
What you didn''t hear?
No?
Fine, I''ll repeat, it''s because…
Because?
Because of…
Of?
Of…
Spit it out already.
Wait, I''m thinking of a nice way to lie to you to piss you off.
… What''s the grudge about?The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
I wonder…
Fine, maybe I could have slowed down, but come on, using spatial magic especially since it''s maxed along with my stats now I can run and jump so much further and maintain my spatial magic so it''s fun.
For you.
Come on, I even gave you the food box.
Which I haven''t had the chance to use.
Fine, I''ll compensate you with… 1000 points for whatever you want.
2000.
1500.
2000.
Fine.
3000.
Don''t push your luck.
Fine 2500.
2000 or nothing.
Fine.
2250?
1750.
Fine 2000.
Too late.
2000 or I''m not going into the dungeon.
So 2000 it is, if you hadn''t given up on 2250 I might have caved in.
Ok, than 22-
Too late.
So why does floor 2 have no mini bosses?
It does, in dungeons.
Dungeons? I haven''t seen any.
That''s cus they''re rare… so far you''ve only found 1 one floor 1 haven''t you?
There''s more?
Yea, but after this one, the rest of the dungeons may become useless.
I can''t enter them?
No, your level would be too high to gain much.
Oh, I''m gonna enter now.
Before Hilda presses the option to enter, Shila interrupts again, passing her a tip coupon.
What''s the meaning of this?
Tear it obviously.
Why?
Because if you don''t, this dungeon would be useless in helping level your skills.
But I can just level sword qi.
It''s already level 17…
Yea but each level up doesn''t seem to help much.
… Just tear it.
Fine.
Hilda tears it and enters the same room, same appearance, same size, same sme…
Wait, what''s that smell?
Oh hi Hilda, I see your back already, again…
Right, what''s that smell?
What smell?
You don''t smell it?
No?
Shila, what about you?
No.
Shila sniffs the air, with the supposed smell slowly increasing the nearer to the guide she goes.
What are you doing?
This is a clone right?
Yes.
Does it feel pain?
No.
Is it hard to make?
Hilda swings her sword at the guide''s neck only for him to block with a finger.
May I ask why?
You smell like my house, and sister.
.. you''re a freak you know?
You''ve seen my trait, you should know.
Fine, I visited your sister, what about it?
Why?
Curiosity to see if that sister is as big of a freak as the sister in front of me.
You owe me one.
That''s… not how this works.
Then give me reassurance you will pay back the I.O.U for the abomination accident.
Fine.
The guide pulls out a contract and hands it to Hilda as Hilda reads and signs it before it burns into ashes.
You happy?
Yea, now what skills do I buy?
First you should upgrade your skills.
Sword qi? But Shila said not to.
Hilda points over to Shila who is lying down, appreciating the short rest despite the lack of comfort and view.
Listen to her, upgrade your spatial and mental magic.
They''re already maxed.
Well, I guess evolving would be better suited.
Right… how do I evolve my skill?
Go to the shop.
Sure.
Go to mental magic skills only.
Done.
Go to any of the 3 mental magic you merged in.
Done.
Tap on the option called merged.
Done, done wow, this is my low level mental magic skills?
Yea, press evolve at the bottom.
Done.
Hilda watches as her mental magic skills goes from low level mental magic to just mental magic.
Wow, but couldn''t I just have bought the three normal skills?
Yes, but this is cheaper.
Cheaper?
Yea, I know you''re a cheapskate anyways.
No, this cost me points? To evolve?
Yea a thousand, but buying the skills would have been a thousand each, so I''d say this was a win.
If not for the face I''m about to go into the dungeon I''d swing my sword at you again.
You''re welcomed to try, not like you''d succeed.
Tsk.
Hilda reluctantly watches as her points go down without even an achievement.
Hey, pay up.
Huh?
Achievement.
No, I didn''t make one for this.
It wouldn''t provide benefits that are worth it.
I''ve got an achievement literally called broke, so what are you on about?
Oh yea, I made that uniquely for you, and also even if there was an achievement, Aileen got it already.
Who?
It''s in the leaderboard.
Yea I know, but that doesn''t help me identify it.
Fine, orange.
You''re allowed to just tell me so easily?
Anyways, what skills should I buy? Also for Shila over there.
For your system, I would suggest debuff ones that draw out a battle.
Makes sense I guess…
You seem unhappy.
Because that''s a waste of time.
Well debuff ones can also deal damage.
Really?
Overtime and only if there are enough debuffs, and strong enough, and a debuffed opponent is easier to use her trait on.
Yea yea, slower and all that.
No, the weaker the opponents, even if it''s by a debuff, the faster the leech.
Oh nice I guess.
Anyways for you, you need to find something else to specialize in case your mental magic can be countered.
Like what?
Poison?
No, I don''t wanna be like orange.
What about debuff?
Don''t wanna be like Shila.
Hilda says, earning her a look from the aforementioned individual.
So original?
Yea.
… Troublesome.
How about conversion magic?
What''s that?
It''s in the name.
… I need more specifications here.
It converts.
What?
Anything.
To?
Anything
Example?
Mental magic to physical and vice versa Incase mental magic doesn''t work.
Oh, then let me go buy it.
This one is unique, there''s only one skill, no lower or higher either, also a pain to level up.
Doesn''t matter.
The higher the level, the more you can convert.
Can it convert physical matter?
Yea, so if your strength gets high enough, you can turn someone to dust.
…
But of course even if you max out the skill, you still need to be much stronger than them.
Oh, makes sense.
Conversation magic(level 1)
Converts anything to anything. (Warning: overuse may cause parts of skill to recoil and convert user partially)
What''s that warning?
It''s a strong skill, of course it has risks, higher than your mental magic which you haven''t failed at a single time because you''re actually talented at that.
The guide says with a surprised and clearly fake tone making Hilda annoyed at his underestimation of her
Anyways, time to go off now.
Fine, but question.
What…
Aren''t I stronger than the cyclops now?
No.
But I''m at a higher level.
And it was buffed so heavily it was closer to a level 125 with skills stronger than yours but a lot.
Oh yea, forgot about that, bye, if I smell the same smell again next time, I''m cutting the head off this clone.
Happy trying, bye.
as Hilda and Shila get sent back with Shila looking like she got sent back to hell as Hilda renters the dungeon, back to the checkpoint.
Alright, let''s go.
