Chapter 28

The next morning, Mark decided to take a breather from Dungeon Diving because he wanted to take a rest and do some other things. After working out for a couple of hours not forgetting to check his weight which was reduced from two hundred to one hundred and ninety pounds, he went to his brand new laptop and checked the internet for possible leads of the other System Holders. He did not find any and knew that it would probably take some time for some of them to become visible either by them posting some questions online or doing some unbelievable things that was seen and or recorded by others. After doing some searching, he paused the serious work and did some silly things. He laughingly posted the video that he took of the Plant Bush Golems dancing, on a new YouTube account, to see the reaction of the viewers.

After spending his time online for a couple more hours, Mark ate some lunch and texted Sam to inquire if he encountered any problem and Sam replied that everything was going along fine with the project. Mark then looked at his System Interface to see the level, stats and skill points that he earned running the Fourth Floor of the dungeon excluding those that he spent already.

First off, he leveled up from seventeen to twenty three. The total amount of stat points that he earned was thirteen, six from leveling up and seven were drops from monsters. The total skill points were nineteen, where he managed to get six points from leveling up and thirteen points from monsters. A quick look on the skill tree showed him that he had sixteen new spells for reaching past level twenty.

The new skills under the Space and Void Chancellor section were: Void Storm under Lightning Void, Glacial Void under Void Wave, Levitation under Space Wall and Space Shelter under Space Tower and Inventory Grid Control under Inventory Item Restoration.

Void Storm was an area of effect skill with description that he would be able to summon multi small crevices from the void that will basically tear enemies apart. Glacial Void would allow him to summon freezing void energy that will freeze or slow enemies. Levitation would allow him to, well basically levitate or float for up to twelve feet and use it to travel. It was like mini-flight. The good thing about Levitation was it would allow him to constantly remain at whatever feet he set it to parallel to the ground regardless if the ground was uneven or inclined. Basically, it meant that, if he set his levitation to six feet, he would constantly hover six feet even when climbing mountain or crossing water. It was actually the same with Space Floating Disc but the disc was more for utility like a moving platform to move things. He was just using the disc as a floating skateboard. Space Shelter on the other hand was a really cool skill since it would allow him to create a mini dimension shelter. Good for hiding.

Inventory Grid Control was a much needed skill for him, Mark thought. Since he kept prioritizing his Inventory, because of his desire to store things that he could use once he transmigrate to another world, the Inventory Grid Control was a much desired boost to Inventory. Once he put a point on it, it would increase the individual grid space meaning if a single grid allowed him to store a meal, now he can use a single grid to store up to four meals. Not only it will increase the individual grid, it will also allow him to compartmentalize his inventory creating separate spaces. For example he can set up a separate ten by ten grid or more for his dungeon items that he would assign for Auto Equip.

On the Rune Engineer section, there were three new skills. There were Plant Rune under Light Rune, Shadow Rune under Dark Rune and Rune Fusion under Air Inscribe. Mark actually was really curious about Rune Engineer but more than likely, he would only add points to the job at the latter part of the year once he was comfortable enough with his offensive and defensive skills. “I’ve been calling the abilities, spells but the System Interface was calling them skills but they looked like spells to me.” Mark pondered then he turned his attention back to the Skill Tree.

Under the Gaia’s Disciple Section there were eight new skills. Thorn Spike Barrage under Thorn Spike Field which gave the summoned thorn plants range attack. Forest of Hallucination under Swamp of Briar which was a large control area of effect spell. Dryad’s Circle under Bed of Daisies which summon a forest sanctuary with a dryad guardian for, well, regeneration. It had healing, detoxification and cure effects. And lastly under Plant Mage, the Tree Golem under Bush Golem which would summon a couple of trees that would turn into a couple of tree golems. Under Earth Plant Mage, the new skills were Earth Burrow under Earth Shelter, Field of Earth Spike under Earth Arrow Barrage, Earth Heave under Earth Quake and Dust Tornado under Dust Wave.

Earth Burrow would allow him to travel under the earth. Field of Spike would summon a lot of earth spikes in an area of effect coverage. Earth Heave would basically allow him to summon a small hill from the ground for damage and it would throw the enemies around and Dust Tornado, well, a tornado made of dust.

Looking at all the new skills, Mark actually felt overwhelmed and did not know which spells to pick at first. He would not be able to specialize for now because focusing on a few spells would increase its MP cost and he would have a hard time casting multiples of it if the cost were high enough. To clear his mind, Mark dismissed the Skill Tree tab and checked his computer.

When he looked at his posted videos of the bush golems, there were already tens of thousands of views. The comments were that the golems were cute and the CGI looked very professional. There were also some request for contact info for professional work. Mark just laughed and closed YouTube and just gamed for the rest of the night.
