Feeling disced after learning I need 10,000 points to rank up, I left the training room. I promised myself I would rest today.

  However, I only said I wouldn't fe swords today.

  Ever since I ventured into the dungeon for the first time, I've been ied in going bad expl further. For some reason, I feel like I have to do it. Not just to bee stronger, but I also sehat something incredible will happen if I keep expl.

  It's a strange feeling.

  But, of course, the main goal is to grow stronger.

  This time, I decided to take one of my swords. I had stored all the refined-rank swords in my iory, leaving only the rare-rank sword in my room.

  Speaking of it, I put a sheath on it to prevent the bde from getting damaged.

  I opened my iory and looked at the refined-rank swords on dispy.

  "Whie should I take? I haven't tested the new ohis could be a good opportunity."

  I held the refined-rank sword I had fed and exami. A system window popped up, showing the sword's ability.

  [Fmes LV1]

  "An ability that produces fire. I haven't tested it, but it seems amazing," I muttered, staring at the system window. "This system should dispy more details—like the sword's attack power or durability. That would be useful."

  But nothing else appeared.

  I thought asking the system might ge something.

  Huff~~

  I sighed and grabbed one of the sheaths stored in my iory. I had many of them to store rare-rank her swords.

  Sheathing the sword, I left the training room, feeling quite excited.

  I walked to the tower with the sword in hand, ign the stares directed my way. When I reached the tower's entrance, I felt a flutter of nervousness in my stomach. 'Today, I want to go deeper. Maybe even reach the third floor.'

  I wasn't sure if that would be possible today, but I inteo try.

  Taking slow steps, I reached the dungeorand desded alongside other adventurers. They were looking at me with admiration for some reason. Maybe they thought I was much strohan I was because of my appearance.

  Upon reag the first floor, I followed the first path I found.

  Staying alert to my surroundings, I kept walking. After a few mihe first monsters appeared in my way. Now that I had a sword, this would be even easier.

  Two goblins.

  Both attacked at the same time.

  Shing!

  I uhed my sword, activated the "Fmes LV1" ability, and swung it. When the goblins saw my bde glowing a fiery e, their eyes widened in fear.

  The sword's bde unleashed a burst of fire that shot toward them.

  The fmes engulfed the goblins, and they began screaming in agony, desperate.

  They buro death.

  I didn't o touch them with my sword to kill them. The fmes produced by the sword were incredibly powerful, even at level one. As Hephaestus and Mikari said, my swords are to.

  Feeling satisfied, I sheathed my swain and calmly tihrough the dungeon's corridors.

  It was so calm and quiet.

  It didn't even feel like a pce where monsters could appear at any moment.

  ####

  I kept expl the first floor of the dungeon, sying some monsters along the way. It was very easy. I used only the bde and refrained from using the "Fmes" ability since I felt it wasn't a good idea.

  These swords e a lot of magid I have very little of it.

  I don't know the exaumber since Hephaestus hasn't updated my falna, but it's probably VERY low!

  "But at this rate, I think I could do this for hours." Despite having low magic, my stamina is high. I fe swords all day without fainting, and I'm not even slightly tired after expl the dungeon for over an hour.

  Not that I've fought many monsters.

  "Should I head to the sed floor?"

  I quickly found the path to the sed floor, but before I could proceed, I was attacked by a group of mohree kobolds traveling together.

  It was the first time I entered three monsters grouped like this.

  I smirked and uhed my sword. The bde was dirty with blood and dust.

  "e on," I said, letting the sword's sheath fall. Holding the sword with one hand, I stood still. The three kobolds charged at me.

  They're just rabid dogs.

  I'm used to dealing with stray rabid dogs oreets—I grew up in Brazil, after all.

  I swung my sword, and two kobolds were decapitated instantly. The third kobold leaped toward me, trying to ssh me with its cws and bite me, but I moved to the side to the side, and it missed.

  The kobold growled and attacked again, even more furiously.

  But it was easy to kill.

  I kicked it, throwing it against the dungeon wall. Then I drove my sword straight into its chest. The kobold groaned in pain and died there, little resistance.

  I collected three magic stones and an item.

  "My pockets are small; they'll fill up quickly."

  I proceeded to the sed floor.

  After more than an hour of expl the sed floor, something iing happened.

  [A preetal has beeed!]

  "A preetal? Here?"
