"It seems like I can't cross the next floor by myself. If I die, I will lose all of the levels I have and even go negative. But, if I live, I might be able to reach level ten."

"What should I do? Should I take a risk or not?"

Brian was hesitating to enter the next floor. He knew this wouldn't be as easy as he might have guessed. But, he doesn't want to leave this opportunity to improve at a rapid rate as well.

'I have nineteen healing potions. I can definitely survive and with ten mana restoration potions, I should be able to handle the battle for a long time. Alright! Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, then that's the fate I guess.'

'But, I will make it work. I must make it work.'

[Floor Three has been cleared]

[Would you like to enter Floor Four?]

[Yes] [No]

Brian raised his hand and clicked on yes. Then, his body disintegrated as he was sent to the next floor. Just like the previous floor, this floor was also a jungle but unlike before, it was massive.

'Hmm…. It's going to be a difficult battle if the opponent is too strong.'

But, when he looked around, he noticed a strange thing. There were no monsters around him and not a single monster arrived there as well.

But, this was a game. And, in the game, the level of the monster was bound to appear above their heads.

[Demon Tree- Level 10]

'Wait, what?'

Brian looked at the icon and his eyes widened for a moment.

'Shouldn't it be level fifteen? Is there some kind of hidden meaning behind it?'

But, he quickly noticed something. It wasn't just a single tree. Inside a jungle, there are hundreds and thousands of trees.

And, among them, all of them were Demon Trees. He could simply see the Demon Trees icon on every tree around him. This begged a question though.

What's the quest?

[Floor Quest Activated]

[Quest No.4- Defeat Twenty Demon trees

Reward- 4000XP, 400 God's Coins, and Skill Upgrade Rune

Punishment- Death and Kicked out of the Dungeon]

'Nice! Wait, Skil Upgrade Rune? The same rune which can upgrade the skill by five levels? Doesn't that mean I will be able to use the Slaughtering Crows without using the exponential amount of mana in the next battle?'

'But twenty demon trees is going to be a lot. Fortunately, if you can fight a demon tree without going inside the territory of another demon tree, you don't have to fear anything.'

'That means?'

"Thunderbolt!"

Brian raised his hand and a bolt of lightning spewed out of his finger. It went straight towards the tree and pierced it. But, that wasn't all. When it hit the tree, it struck so hard that it set the tree on fire.

'I can do nine thunderbolts with my mana level. So, I need to kill at least two or even three Demon Tree before my Mana completely runs out.'

Brian instantly dashed towards the same demon tree. Although it was on fire, the demon tree wasn't weak. It was trying to use the water from its roots to extinguish the fire.

Whoosh! Bang!

"Thunderbolt!"

As soon as the demon tree sensed Brian within his territory, it released a branch as it struck him. But, Brian quickly dodged it with ease. Then, he shot another bolt of lightning which struck it even harder than before.

"Thunderbolt!"

Bang!

"Thunderbolt"

Bang!

With the fourth thunderbolt, the demon tree was wholly set on fire and died. But, he didn't stop there. He went near the burnt tree and took out the swords.

'Alright! I have never done this before by myself but I hope it will work.'

He took a deep breath and gripped his sword. He closed his eyes and took a stance, carefully swinging his swords at the full speed. His motion raised the tornado around him and the tornado soon caught fire in it.

As soon as the tornado caught fire, he simply moved towards another demon tree.

Whoosh!

The demon tree shot a branch with an insane speed but as soon as it touched the tornado, it got burned. Slowly, he advanced toward the tree and used the fire tornado to burn it.

"Dragon Fire Twister!"

In just a few seconds, the entire tree was burnt. But, this also ended his attack. And, he quickly condensed mana into his arms once again. Then, he repeated the process to burn another tree.

Finally, he had to stop and take the Mana Restoration Potion. This time he used the fire from one tree to burn another tree four times until his mana depleted once again.

He continued like this until he burned all twenty trees but there were still a lot of trees. Before he started burning more trees, he had already completed his Quest. So, he immediately leveled up.

After reaching level nine, he continued burning more trees. This time, he could burn nearly five trees with a single bottle of Mana Restoration Potion. But, he only had five Mana Restoration Potions left.

So, he only succeeds in burning thirty trees. He didn't continue burning trees because he didn't see any more floor notifications. That means he needs to go deeper into this forest.

But before going any further, he decided to sit on the stone and analyze his powers.

"Nice! I am only one level away from unlocking my Sub-Class. Anyway, I need to upgrade my Slaughtering Crows and hopefully, I will get a chance to upgrade my DragonRider97 Sword Art to level two."

"And, unlike Shadow Escape, just by improving one level, the amount of mana consumed in the skill should decrease even if it by a little. Anyway, I don't think I have a lot of time left."

"I have to take Ely to the academy tomorrow. So, I must level up before the morning."

Brian finally clicked the Skill Upgrade Rune and a small black rock with a strange symbol of three stripes on it appeared. These three stripes were crossed horizontally and vertically.

He crushed the rune and a panel appeared in front of him.

[Select a Skill to Upgrade]

[DragonRider97 Sword Art] [Shadow Escape] [ Slaughtering Crows] [Thunderbolt]

He moved his finger at the Slaughtering Crows but suddenly it stopped.

'Wait! I will get a total of five level-ups, right? Should I spend it on DragonRider97 Sword Art? Previously, I didn't think too much but now I get the feeling that I can use this sword art for various tasks.'

'And, the less mana I need to use, the better it will be. Maybe I can even level up just by destroying every Demon Tree here.'

Finally, Brian moved his finger on the DragonRider97 Sword Art, and the next moment. He felt a strange surge of energy inside his mind. He felt like the sword and he was connected. He closed his eyes and let the process continue

After a minute, he opened his eyes and saw a new panel in front of him.

[Skill- DragonRider97 Sword Art (Maxed)

Type- Sword Skill

Mana Consumption- 2 (Dragon Twister) and (Stealth Dragon Claws)

Description- This skill was created out of the Player's imagination and extreme control over his mana. This skill evolves with the imagination of the Player. It can no longer level up due to the highest control over mana for this specific skill.]

"Yes!"

Brian excitedly gripped his swords. With each strike consuming only two mana points, he can basically continue burning every demon tree until he runs out of stamina.

He holds both swords in his left hand and raises his right hand. Then, he points at the tree in front of him.

"Thunderbolt!" "Thunderbolt!" Thunderbolt!"

With three thunderbolts, the tree finally burned to death but it was only the beginning. Brian grips one sword in each hand and walks towards the burning tree with a grin on his face.

"It's leveling time, baby!"
