Once Yuki had killed the female demon warriors and caused them to disappear, the rest of the demons which were watching the battle on the colosseum seats disappeared as well. After his hard battle, Yuki was now exhausted. He instantly deactivated his flame armour and began to breathe heavily.

[Open inventory]

Yuki placed his weapons back into his inventory. Once he had done that, Yuki pulled out 1 full status recovery potion and 2 stamina boost potions. Even with him regaining his full strength, Yuki needed extra reserves of stamina just in case he couldn't use his inventory in the next stage.

Just as Yuki finished drinking all his potions, he went into a state of paralysis, all he could feel was pure agonizing pain. Right away, he knew that he was facing the consequences of drinking too many potions from the system.

"Zero!" Yuki called out.

Without having to respond to Yuki, Zero healed him as it would be much more efficient than trying to talk to an immobilized human in extreme pain.

"Thank you," said Yuki once his body was cured from the paralysis. Yuki could've asked Zero to make him immune to the system's consequences however, Yuki enjoyed the thrill of having something penalize him for overusing the new world's materials. Yuki deemed that the excruciating pain he felt once he had drank too many potions which only lingered until Zero healed him was more than enough of a consequence. He knew that he was abusing his power and he frankly didn't care because it was his. However he subconsciously tried to justify his actions, no matter how wrong they seemed.

[LEVEL UP]

[Player: Yuki Kaito]

[Level 10: 29000/200000]

Yuki could feel an insane power-surge flowing through his veins. He had never experienced such pleasure and power all at once. He felt like he could take on the entire world at once. Yuki thought his skin was deteriorating from being unable to contain its new found power.

"Who knew that gaining 1 level could be this amazing," Yuki said to himself.

While he knew that reaching level 10 was a large milestone in the new world, along with all the following stages which ended with 0. Yuki hadn't expected it to be to this degree. It was as if he was getting cheered on by the entire world after he had received a gold medal for each category in the olympics. The sense of pridefulness the systems falsely created was just too much to bear for one person.

Seeing how well he was getting treated for achieving the milestone only motivated Yuki to push himself to even greater lengths. Yuki planned on receiving this sensation of joy 9 more times when he would reach level 20, 30, 40... and so on until level 100.

[New skill unlocked: Scale]

[Scale: Able to determine the likelihood of the user being able to defeat their enemy. Green: Easy, Yellow: Medium, Red: Hard, Purple: Impossible]

[Disclaimer: Items such as potions and weapons can ultor the scale]

"And a new skill to boot? Today just keeps getting better," said Yuki to himself.

Just as Yuki began to celebrate, an object dropped from the stage ceiling.

[Item drop: Demon Sickle]

"Well, nevermind," said Yuki in disappointment as he looked down at Saki's weapon. He would never use the weapon of someone that resembled Sophie. He despised both of them.

Yuki double tapped on the item to open its information chart.

[Rank: C]

[Attack: 60]

[Description: Power: The curved short handed blade which is ideal in close combat situations. Each year, every one of the 5 clans of the demon race picks their very best female warrior to send out to serve their lord: Hades. With each clan competing to see who can serve their king the best, they grew to hate each other. As such they would force the young females of their clan to undergo harsh training regiments in hopes of cultivating the ultimate warrior. Each year this takes place and on new years eve, the chosen warriors leave their village to meet with Hades. Unknown to their clans, Hades always forces the chosen 5 to work in a team to serve as part of his army. Now the females have to work alongside the ones they were taught as a child to hate. However as time goes on, the members become accustomed to their new life and begin to care for each other. The ultimate irony.]

"So basically manipulation into becoming a warrior robot?.. Lame," said Yuki as he shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't be bothered to feel sympathy towards those who have tried to harm him or he just hated.

Just as Yuki finished reading the description of the sickle, another item fell from the ceiling. Yuki already knew what the item would be as he had reached the halfway point of the dungeon.

[Item drop: Pot of greed]

Yuki double tapped on the brown pouch to open its information chart.

[Rank: X]

[Attack: 0]

[Description: Contains 2 million silver]

"This is more than I'll ever need in this world, I'm basically set for life," said Yuki.

[Open inventory]

Yuki placed the new items that he had just received and began to walk towards the save point. The white light was much closer than it usually was which meant that Yuki didn't have to walk for hours trying to reach it.

[Stage five: Complete]

[Save point reached]

[Stage 6 difficulty: level 8-9]

[If you would like to move to the 6th stage of the dungeon, please step forward]

Yuki passed his hand through the dungeon gate, allowing the white light to disintegrate. Looking out from the tunnel which led to the new stage, Yuki couldn't see any monster lingering around which he thought was weird but didn't think much of it.

Yuki had been memorized by the many towers that stretched from the ground, all made of black stone. The stage looked to be vast with an endless path of cracked stone flooring. All around the stage there were large white pillars which looked to be half their original size due to them cracking over time.
