《Zenith》6 - The First Dungeon : Snowclad Moon
Advertisement
I checked and found out that i had 215 AP and 13 SP. To distribute the AP, i decided that i needed more damage, agility, health and mana. So, i added 75 points to Strength, 50 points to agility, 50 points to health and 40 points to intelligence (intelligence increases magic power as well as the mana). I added all my SP to my [Glory of sword] skill. I managed to level the skill all the way upto lvl 9. I was hoping to max it but apparently, 2 SP points are needed to level after the skill reaches lvl 5. My stats had risen by a quite a lot.
Player: Enryuu
Lvl: 10
Damage: 240-250
HP: 1200
Defense: 30
Magic power: 85
MP: 300
Not bad, not bad at all
Then, i looked up the city rankings to check how much i was ahead of others. The top 5 were:
1. Enryuu - lvl 10
2. Lemonade - lvl 8
3. Sorrow - lvl 8
4. Mahzino - lvl 7
5. Not noob - lvl 7
There is still time for them to catch up.
The first dungeon was available at lvl 10 and with my OP sword, i was confident that i could beat it. I checked the map and went up to the dungeon. The dungeon's name was "Snowclad Moon".
Dungeons were of 3 difficulties: [Noob mode], [Normal mode] and [Hardcore mode]. The [Hardcore mode] would obvoiusly give better rewards so i chose the [Harcore mode] without hesitation.
As soon as i entered, I noticed that the place was f*ckin cold. I went to settings and lowered the temperature realism setting. After my mind recovered from the numbness i felt due to the sudden drop in temperature, i looked around. The first thing i saw was that this place was vast yet, small. There was only a thin path of ice which i could use to walk through and everything else would fall in abyss. I looked down through the edge of the path and found that i could not even see the bottom of the abyss. The sky was white, full white, without anything disturbing it's purity. I looked straight and saw that the path would lead me to a huge black door. The door was the only thing that was not white, making it very noticable. I started to walk towards the door. The door was very far away and the path was at least 1 km long. As i walked through i heard a sizzling sound. I observed and found that the ice was slowy getting thinner. I looked from the edge and saw a faint orange colour rising from the abyss. That was probably magma. Now, there was only one thing i needed to do and only one thing on my mind-

"RUN!!!"
I panicked and started to run as fast as possible. After a few minutes and still about 400 metres from the door i started to hear some crack sounds. I knew this would lead to failure and that was something i am not allowed. I calmed myself and asked myself some questions.
What can i do to lengthen the time required for the ice to break as much as possible?
There was only one thing i can do and that is to lessen the pressure i apply on the ice.
How can i lessen the pressure on the ice?
I should maximixe the surface area of the part of my sole which touches the ground as much as possible and avoid running on toes.
After i was conscious about this, i immediately started avoid running on toes and ran with my whole sole touching the ground. After 5 minutes, the path behind me started to break. I still had to run about 100 metres and my stamina was starting to reach it's bottom. It looked like even after i did all that and used physics, failure was inevitable. And that's when an idea struck me.
Hah! im f*cking genius
That was what i thought but i still didn't know whether this idea would work or not. I ran using up the last bits of my stamina and when the ice on which i was on was going to break, I cast the [Glory of sword] skill on the door. After leveling up to lvl 9, the sword's range had increased to 150 yards, making it possible for me to target the door. My [Pandora's Sword] was drawn automatically and became a gold tier sword. The sword started to float above my head and a bunch of it's clones appeared. I jumped and just as it was gonna move, i managed to catch it's handle. Even if i was a millisecond late, i would have probably missed. With my heart in my mouth i flew along with my sword at a very high speed looking down in the abyss. The magma could be seen clearly and it was rising every second. Just after a quick 5 seconds, i arrived at the door. I released my grip from the handle and jumped down to the remaining part of ice. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

Joshua Hall is an intelligent and promising college sophomore. But when he accidentally witnesses Sara Wilder, a new and quirky acquaintance, receive an eldritch mark of possibility from her mother, everything changes. Josh can now see marks, eldritch symbols of power brought from another plane of existence that empower the weak and the futureless, that are invisible to most. But that's not the only thing that he's seeing, as strange dreams haunt Josh's sleep and threaten to destroy his sanity. With his mind and body struggling to handle the impossible things he can now perceive, Josh has to decide: accept a mark himself, or attempt to forget everything. This is a bit of an experimental project for me, as it isn't my norm in genre or topic. Expect: -Slow build storytelling -Character details -Foreshadowing -Dialogue driven narrative -Dynamic action scenes -Some mild graphic descriptions of injury -Sexuality is a factor -No explicit content (at least not directly) -Mild body horror -Light cosmic horror Reviews and critique are highly encouraged. I am a civil and fair responder, don't be afraid to initiate a conversation. If you see this story posted anywhere outside of RoyalRoad or Inkitt, please let me know as those are the only sites I currently host on. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
