Chapter 045: Level 2 Dungeon (I)
I wonder how long it will take for my second companion to awaken.
Just as Chrono recalled that Fei said that the timing for each companion to awaken varies, the card appeared on the back of his right hand and shattered. Countless squiggly lines started to slither around the skull and an ouroboros circled the evil looking skull.
In mid-air, a cute little snake with angelic looking wings appeared and started to fly around Chrono’s head.
Name: Yuki
Level: 0 (Exp to next level: 1,000)
Skills: Viscous Goo I
“Oh my gosh! So cute!” Chrono blurted out when he saw the snowy white snake appear before him.
However, the moment the word “cute’ was mentioned, Yuki hissed out loud, opened her cute little jaw and attacked Chrono. Ducking the enraged little snake, they started to play a game of tag while Abaddon just stared at them unmovingly.

Companions can be revived at “Fountain of Life” found randomly in the dungeon. Coins can be looted from monster corpses. Items can be obtained from monster corpses.

After reading the notice, Chrono appeared in a rectangular dark and damp cave. At the end of the cave was a staircase going down. Summoning Abaddon and Yuki, Chrono looked at their status screen as he walked down the stairs.

*The only type of snake that has the ability to soar in the sky.
Looks like Yuki is a good fit for Abaddon. Considering that she can slow down enemies and increase the amount of damage that Abaddon inflicts on the enemy.
Reaching the end of the flight of stairs, started his exploration of this new dungeon. A HP (Vitality) and MP (Mana) bar floated above both Abaddon and Yuki and the first monster they encountered were sewer rats.

Vitality: 100
Offensive Power: 100
Defensive Power: 10
Skills:
Poison Bite (10%) (Passive)
Inflict the poison status on an enemy that deals 10 damage per second.
*Sewer rats. Self explanatory.
Abaddon was 14 levels higher than the rats, they could only inflict 1 damage due to Abaddon’s high defensive power and one punch was enough to pulverise the sewer rats. As Abaddon bulldozed his way through the first floor, numerous notification appeared.
[Dungeon Coin] x1 obtained.
[Dungeon Coin] x1 obtained.
[Dungeon Coin] x1 obtained.

Each sewer rats only dropped one dungeon coin and after exploring the whole of first floor, no items could be found. With nothing left to explore, Chrono proceeded down to the second floor.

*Mutated sewer rats. Self explanatory.
The mutated sewer rats with only an increase of offensive power by 50 was not able to inflict anything more than 1 damage to Abaddon. Venom bite was activated every now and then and they were also stackable causing Abaddon to lose a huge chunk of health when they were attacked by a group of mutated sewer rats. However, [HP potion] which heals 100 vitality could be obtained from the mutated sewer rats at a 50% drop rate. By the time Chrono cleared the second floor, Yuki had reached level 2 with 500 exp left to level 3.
The low level monsters were no threat to Abaddon and within an hour, Chrono cleared all the way to the 5th floor. Till this point in time, Yuki still haven’t done a single thing other than being coiled up on Chrono’s head as she cheered Abaddon on.

On the 5th floor, there was a portal beside the staircase leading to the 6th floor. As he was not sure whether he would be able to re-enter the dungeon after exiting, Chrono decided not to risk it and he descended down the stairs instead. What greeted him was a stall in the middle of a rectangular room. Walking up to the stall, he saw a robot manning the stall.
“Welcome to the dungeon store. What would you like to purchase?” The robot say in a robotic voice.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

Ashes of the Primordial
With the upcoming shutdown of the servers for Ragnarok Games’ deep dive VRMMO, ‘Ashes of the Primordial’, the player log of those online for the final night was depressingly empty-looking. A revolutionary level of realism drove Ashes to the forefront of the games market, billions of players enjoying their journey to power and glory as an avatar of their own creation. The final enemy of the game-world defeated, the company announced, in line with their stance from launch, that they would be shutting down the game exactly six months after the defeat of Sutr, the final boss. Ammanas, the player responsible for Sutr's defeat, stays online until the end. However, as the countdown hits 0, the start-hub of his dive rig (what would typically greet a forced ejection from a game) was no where to be seen and instead darkness greets him as he fades into unconsciousness. Awakening to unfamiliar sights in an unfamiliar body, one which turns out to be a lot more familiar than he first thought, now he must figure out where, how, why and what to do with the new world he finds himself in. Author note: I don't own the cover, just something found through a google search. This is also my first story and the MC will basically be unimaginably OP yet never really utilising his full power. He just wants to find somewhere to fit in to the new world he finds himself in and despite both his nature as a loner and his interests he will find himself forming connections with the denizens of this new realm. Hope you enjoy
