---------------Jonah's POV--------------
After I put my points into SPEED my new status changed a bit.

Let's hope I won't die if I stated a full sprint... wait, will I die? I mean, I can basically speed up to 65 km/h in a sec... I would have to try later anyways, so I finally checked my class choices.
Congratulations You can now choose your class
Available class/es -
Archer
Mage
Warrior
Berserker
Assassin
Advanced Mage
Dimensional Mage
Depending on what you choose, your future classed will be influenced.
So I probably got Archer from stone throwing...?Mage from using telekinesis, Warrior...? From killing the birds? Berserker... probably from my insane regeneration...? Assassin... probably because the Orc died with one hit. Advanced Mage... I think I got that one from using 2 different magic skills. Is there something above Advanced mage? If yes, then does my Dimensional Storage not count as a magic skill...? NO, I think it has to be active, so Gravitational Perception doesn't count. Hm. Well, Dimensional Mage is probably from my skills.
Even though I was thinking about the classes, it was obvious that I would choose Dimensional Mage. It had an awesome name and it was yellow so it was a legendary class. What else was there to think about? So I clicked in the class to see more information.
Class - Dimensional Mage (Legendary)
This is a class for those that choose to influence matter and space instead of throwing fancy fireballs.
Bonus - You get the skills Instant Teleportation and Space Cutter - Your initiate skills are now 50% more effective
Choose class? YES/NO
Instant Teleportation? Sounds crazy. Maybe I could teleport myself out of this dungeon? All the bonuses looked good but I at least wanted to check the Advanced Mage class.
Class - Advanced Mage (Rare)
This is a class for those that choose to throw fancy fireballs and other elemental skills.
Bonus - You get the skill Elemental Magic - Elemental skills now cost 20% less mana
Choose class? YES/NO
The Elemental Magic skill looked pretty self explanatory. I would assume it would just let you throw some fireballs, ice spears and stuff at your enemies. The usual. I then did the obvious and chose the Dimensional Mage class, so I clicked -YES-.
Congratulations
You chose the class Dimensional Mage (Legendary)
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
New skill Instant Teleportation has been added.
New skill Space Cutter has been added.
Your initiate skills are now 50% more effective.
Instant Teleportation (1/3)
Instant Teleportation let's you/your items/someone you are touching, teleport from one spot to another in an instant while it is inside your perception range. It also let's you teleport longer ranges, after channeling it for 10 seconds. You won't be able to teleport in/out of dungeons.
Active Mana cost - 1000 MP - Cooldown - 12 h for instant teleportation, the long range teleportation doesn't have a Cool Down
Space Cutter (1/3)
Space Cutter let's you send a crack in space at your enemies. Space Cutter flies relatively slow but it's attack strength makes up for it.
Active Mana cost - 100 MP - Cooldown - 1 second
It seem I wouldn't be able to teleport out of a dungeon, but it was otherwise pretty unfair to be honest. I would be able to do long range teleportations for 15 times in a row and my mana regenerations would charge for around 700 per minute, so I would be able to teleport every minute or so.
I tested the skill by trying to teleport to the ground. I activated the skill and chose the ground in front of me as a target. I waited for 10 sec, without moving. Moving would have stopped the channeling of the skill, so I wouldn't be able to use long range TP(Teleportation) in a fight.
After I channeled for 10 sec, my surroundings changed and I was standing on the ground. The cave was still dark and a bit cold, but now that I am fast and have a lot of mana it was time to kill some monsters.
Now I just had to test the skill Space Cutter. When I activated the skill I instinctively knew that I had to move my finger in a line and then the cut would fly at my enemies. When I sent it flying it was quite slow but looked scary as hell and produced some strange buzzing sounds. It was around 20 cm long and around a 1 cm wide. When the crack hit the pillar the crack went half way into it and then the buzzing stopping. I assumed the crack vanished, so I thought about how I could use it in a fight.
I then planned my fighting strategy. The strategy was quite simple, I just had to run away from the orcs and sent Space cuts into them. Then push them into the wall with telekinesis.
...
The next few days I ran through the dungeon and killed monsters on monsters. I kited them to a wall and when I got close to the wall, I used telekinesis to boost them forward and I myself jumped out of the way so they crashed into the wall. While I did that, I also threw space cuts at them whenever it was ready and there was a good point to aim it to. I just had to be careful not to use too much mana while doing that. I repeated the process until they died. When I had to sleep I would long range TP myself onto a pillar and sleep.
I felt like shit and without my high WIL stat I would have surrendered multiple times already. I broke several bones and got cuts all over my body while fighting them because I didn't check out where to step and fell down or I got ambushed. I luckily had my instant teleportation to safe myself, but I almost died multiple times. If it weren't for my high WIL stat, I would have succumbed under the stress and pain.
I always stored the items that dropped from the monsters and the monsters themself. Then, to safe some food I started eating the Orcs and drank their blood... I did that so that I can safe the food for layers without "eatable" monsters. they tasted like raw pig, so it could be worse, but their blood was disgusting. I hope I will get used to it. At first, I threw up most of it while eating, while cutting, and even when I saw my first cuts through the dead bodies I threw up. Fun times.
Luckily the mana in the meat and blood was enough of a nutrition replacement. Mana powers the body so, it was some kind of nutrition for the body in one way or another. I repeated the process like a robot for 2 days until I got a useful item.

...
I fought like a madman and after a week of fighting, I finally got to layer 59 where the boss is. I had problems to sleep and had nightmares about my mother and sister suffering without me several times, so I pushed myself to the limit and ran constantly and even fought multiple Orcs at the same time. I even lost an arm once while fighting my first boss. Never again would put others in front of my lover ones, family would come first. I regretted pushing Jason out of harms way multiple times, never again would I do something so stupid and risk making my family and myself suffer again.
My stamina regeneration was so high that I could run all day and I would still be full. Even after I broke several bones and got hit by the Orcs while trying to dodge, my HP regen healed me to full after some minutes and my bones went back into place by themself.
After I killed all the 99 Orcs on this layer I went to the Boss-chamber. It was just a big ass double door that was in my way now. I leveled up to level 59 and I was close to 60 with 99% progression. I put all my points into perception every time I leveled up the last week, so that I would be safe while fighting so many Orcs and I wouldn't fall down or get ambushed anymore. So, my perception range increased to 11 meters and I could feel my surrounding pretty clear now.
It felt like I knew something was there or not. I helped against multiple ambushes and I only got hurt when there were too many Orcs and they surrounded me. Every time that happened, I would just try to run to the biggest opening and then I tried to dodge their fists, but something they still slightly hit me and I broke my arm or got a flesh wound on it.
But after all that it was time for my first "real" fight against an enemy.
