《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.
