The system notifications came up line after line—
[Discovered acknowledged Dawn power shards, fusion available, fusing…]
[Title: Blade of the Daybreaker leveled up!]
The starry milky way appeared once again above Kieran’s head.
The leftover glowing particles from Ye Jing were absorbed by it, thus making it brighter.
[Name: Blade of the Daybreaker]
[Type: Title]
[Rarity: Unique]
[Attribute: 1. Sword Type Enhance II; 2. Sword Skill Increase II; 3. Dawn Amplification II; 4. Dawn Sword Veil; 5. Dawn Thrust]

…
[Dawn Summon: During Dawn, player can summon the soldiers of Burning Dawn based on player’s own will. They will answer the player’s call and fight for them, once per week]
[Dawn Descent: Utilize the power to create a man-made “Dawn” scene no larger than 15 meters, once per week.]
……
Kieran’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a grin when he saw [Sword Type Enhance], [Sword Skill Increase] and [Dawn Amplification].
As his Unique Title, any kind of incremental increase was considered a core update. Despite it not increasing by a huge extent, it was worth celebrating.
Especially the newly added effect [Dawn Descent], it made Kieran’s smile widen even more.
Time has always been [Blade of the Daybreaker]’s biggest limit and now with the new effect, the time limit was no longer the biggest obstruction.
As for [Dawn Thrust], it would become one of his ultimates as well.
“With rank IV speed, if it catches the enemy by surprise, it will surely produce unexpected results.”
Kieran was thinking about the usage for [Dawn Thrust] in his heart.
His eyes, however, turned to that dark golden radiance on the floor.
It was a sheathed longsword.
Without even taking it out, Kieran already knew what it was.
“Extreme Night”!
The sword that Ye Jing wielded, relying on it for his offense and defense.
[Name: Extreme Night (Damaged)]
[Type: Sword Type Weapon]
[Rarity: II]
[Attack: II]
[Attributes: 1. Night Veil; 2. Night Slash]
[Effect: Night Protection]
[Prerequisite: Eliminate Ye Jing]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: As the longsword that Ye Jing gained in an accident before following him on his long conquest, its power is undisputed but it was damaged during the battle with you. Not only did its rarity go down, but its power was also weakened by a lot as well, although it is still usable, be careful when you wield it. Maybe you can find a master swordsmith to repair it.]

…
[Night Veil: Extreme Night transforms into a black moving light, blocking attacks that don’t surpass rank II, 30-second duration, twice per day]
[Night Slash: Perform a black light slash with rank II attack on a single target with the range of 100 meters, twice per day]
…
[Night Protection: In the night/darkness, Night Veil’s duration increases by 15 seconds, Night Slash’s range increases by 50 meters.]
…
“Damaged weapon.”
Kieran frowned when he saw the description of the sword.
When he saw [Extreme Night] dropped, he knew it would be different from the [Extreme Night] he witnessed.
Of course, even if damaged, [Extreme Night] had what it takes to fit a rank II rarity weapon but for Kieran who witnessed what it really could do, it was miles apart.
Repair it!
He must repair it!
The thought automatically came into his mind when Kieran unsheathed [Extreme Night] and saw the black blade with cracks.
He wanted to see what [Extreme Night] was like in its full form.
“A swordsmith eh?”
Kieran muttered. He laid his finger over the blade’s tip before sheathing it softly and hanging it over his waist.
Perhaps a swordsmith in this current dungeon world might be a rare and difficult find.
After all, all the knowledge of smithing were hoarded by the Smith Fiends, but Kieran wasn’t just limited to this dungeon world alone.
More so, in the big city, who could guarantee that there wasn’t a player who leveled up forging and repairing to an extreme level?
Huu!
Kieran took a deep breath to adjust his thoughts before he turned around to the palace behind him.
Great Swamp’s mirage was hiding inside and when the palace caught Kieran’s gaze, Great Swamp automatically appeared.
He was looking at Kieran with a surprised and complicated gaze.
He was surprised by how easily Kieran took out Ye Jing.
He also felt complicated because how easy Kieran took out Ye Jing.
“You are much stronger than I imagined, especially during dawn—after today, your names will be known by all the big shots in the world, you will become the new Night Vanisher and the new Dawn Slaughter,” Great Swamp said slowly.
“Night Vanisher? Dawn Slaughter?”
Kieran shook his head and continued, “These titles don’t suit me, I prefer Blade of the Daybreaker or Burning Dawn.”
“Because you used a sword and… fire?” Great Swamp asked out of curiosity.
“I guess so.”
Kiera shrugged without giving a solid response.
He would not tell Great Swamp what those titles meant to him, similar to how Great Swamp would not tell him what the palace was hiding.
Secrets, right?
It shouldn’t be known yet were attractive.
Ways to reject the mysterious temptation were only a handful but important enough.
Respect, or understanding.
Great Swamp saw Kieran’s calm and dull face, he couldn’t help but sigh softly.
“Somethings will not change just because you will them to.”
The sigh obviously came from his own expression, which seemed unparalleled and real.
“That is why we need to be stronger.”
“My strength protects my heart, allowing me to stand up to anything and choose according to my own will.”
“That’s why I choose to be strong because I have no choice!”
Kieran’s words sounded sincere because it was his own experience.
Sincerity would move people’s hearts.
“Perhaps, I can try it??”
Great Swamp muttered.
“Of course,” said Kieran.
System notifications popped up on Kieran’s vision once more.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

I will break you to the limit where you won't ever be able to come back. And then, I will leave you to rot.""One last thing. Don't you DARE tell anyone that we are mates. Are we clear?"I nodded frantically, my heart clenching till where it was unbearable.He let out a dark chuckle and released me,"Good girl."I collapsed on the floor and almost passed out from the lack of air in my lungs.He just walked away & left me there to rot.
