Hello! I did it, I finally wrote a long chapter! (I think it's long anyway) It's pretty much 1,000 words! Aaaand, I did it when I said I would! Sorry, I'm just amazed I managed to do this, I was seriously not motivated today... Also, another characters introduced today~
I haven't named any of the monsters because I have absolutely no idea what to call them. If you have any ideas please tell me! Otherwise the names will be things like [Long clawed monkey] or [Two headed wolf] and things like that...
Well, here's the chapter:
----------------------------------------
~Loki~
~Day 22 in another world~
Jeremy and I stood outside the entrance of a dark dungeon.
"Remember, even though I'm with you, I won't help unless it's absolutely necessary. Don't slack off if you think your stronger than them, even weaker opponents can defeat people stronger than them if given the chance." Jeremy reminded me.
"-and don't forget your training! A lot of young adventurers die because they freeze up when they first see a monster. Yell if you really think you can't handle it and I'll come, but I think you'll do fine." He said, smiling at me.
I nod to him and enter the dungeon.
----------------------------------------
Splash!
The slime exploded into a pool of blue liquid after I broke its core.
Beginner dungeons only have 10 floors, with a boss that re-spawns at the end of every floor. So far I've reached floor 6.
I found out that when fighting monsters, my level raises faster, I don't know wether or not this will keep happening but it gives me some motivation to keep going.
Most of the monsters (at least in this dungeon) seem to be based on animals I know from my own world.
For example, so far I've already seen wolves with two heads, frogs that walk on two legs and giant insects. However there are also creatures like slimes, which I'm pretty sure didn't exist in my world but who knows, maybe they went extinct or something?
Looking around the giant cave with glowing moss that looked like stars on the ceiling, I saw a pack of monkeys with long sharp teeth and two pairs of arms. Spotting an intruder on their territory, they growled menacingly and rushed towards me.
But before they could get close enough to circle me, I used my ability to run behind one before cutting off its head. It's pack watched as I decapitated their member, and their eyes turned red with rage.
Charging at me with no particular plan and climbing over each other in their attempt to get to me first, my eyes flashed with contempt, before I disappeared.
I didn't actually disappear, but after Jeremy watched me improving, he taught me a way I could put my mana to use. By channeling the mana to my legs, I can speed up, making it seem to others as if I just disappeared (only to those around the same power level or lower).
While these monkeys were weak when they were unorganised, if they had managed to encircle me I would have been in a bit of trouble.
I finished off the rest of the monkeys and moved on coming to a stop in front of a large door.
I guess this is the next boss room?
Opening the door, inside was a massive ape with dark matted fur and very large claws. The ape was surrounded by the smaller monkeys I fought with earlier.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Walking in, I looked the ape in the eyes, before it signalled to his subordinates to attack with an ear piecing roar.
ROOOAAAR!!!
The larger monkeys ran towards me and as I blocked and parried their attacks, the smaller ones snuck in attacks here and there when they saw an opening.
Channeling my mana into my arms, the blade in my hands became lighter (yes, I can channel my mana to my arms as well) and a flash of light was seen before all the larger monkeys surrounding me collapsed on the ground, dead.
Seeing this, the smaller monkeys became enraged, just like the ones from before, making them easy to get rid of with a few swings of my blade.
I then run towards the boss, trying to slash across its front, but the hide of the monster was too thick and I barely made a scratch. The ape monster, calmer than its minions, did not get enraged, but retaliated, swiping its massive claws across my chest.
Using my mana to stop the blood from bleeding out (Jeremy taught me this), I gritted my teeth against the pain and jumped back as it tried the same thing a second time.
"You won't get me that easy!"
Yelling at the boss (I think I got a bit too into fighting here) I channeled my mana to my legs and feet, before jumping above the monster and cutting across one of its eyes.
The boss screamed in pain before its eyes turned red, and it's too, like its minions, charged mindlessly towards me on all fours.
"Finally!"
Grinning evilly at the monster, I waited for it to get closer before jumping to the side, letting it slam its head into the wall behind.
As it tried to regain its senses after being dazed, I jumped on top of it, before stabbing its other eye and then it's brain, killing the boss of the 6th floor.
I make sure it's dead and then properly bandage my wound (don't want it getting infected now do we? I mean, imagine all the dirt under those massive claws!).
After resting for a while, I stepped on the teleport circle the boss was guarding, and arrived at the 7th floor.
Walking through the rooms, I scouted out which monsters were on this floor (Jeremy didn't tell me as he said I won't have him with me all the time).
I found a lot of reptilian monsters on this floor, such as lizards, snakes and even turtles (monsters based off these creatures of course). As well as some monkeys and other monsters that got here from lower floors and managed to survive alongside the stronger monsters.
Snap!
Suddenly, I heard a noise behind me, wondering what it was I turned around cautiously (I didn't detect it before it made a noise).
Turning around fully, I looked to see, to my surprise, a young girl with her blonde hair done up in two pigtails. She looked at me angrily before turning and running away.
----------------------------------------
So there's the chapter! I think it's a lot longer than my other ones but if it's too short just tell me and I'll try to make it longer still (although if it's any longer than 2,500 words I won't be able to do it) Any comments are appreciated as they give me motivation to write another chapter! Thank you to anyone who has followed this as it makes me really happy that some people want to read my story, even just as a pass time.
