After a full night of not sleeping and keeping my mana cast in place, the perk system started showing it's true potential. As the night went on I started gaining less will as quickly, but I assume that's because there is some kind of criteria that needs to be met for stats to level. yet another night of grinding from the grind king!
I got up from the rock solid branch that I had slept on, and stepped into my cramped ass room to walk out of the dorms like a normal person. I must look like a weirdo sleeping outside!
I walk up to the door crossing my the small coffee table in the center of my room, and go to my closet to put in the school provided uniform so I don't get the magical police called on me for being half nude at a school.
When I grab the uniform, it comfier then it looks, and being the suspicious person I am, I flick on [Mana Sight] to scour what was up with this blue uniform.
Turning in [Mana Sight] other than the arrays of color floating In the air, I can see some... Alined mana? Like the mana is concentrated on specific lines, and it all comes together like a computer chips wires. Neat! I should try that... Once I know how. I'm not gonna mess with my mana again until I understand how to control it!
I slightly shudder at the reminder of the dropping feeling that tore through [pain resistance] and compromised my mana pool.
Speaking of my mana pool, even after a full night it's still not full! My mana Regeneration is horrible!
This also means none of my mana has drained out of the hole that is still in it, but I would rather not think about that for now.
I put on the slightly oversized uniform, and instantly it becomes a snug fit on my still thin body.
I put on some black shoes that I could have swore were air forces if they weren't made of leather.
Feeling myself a little bit, I walked out the door to see that most of the other students were also wearing the same exact shoes...Why am I a little mad about that?
The other students were a multitude of different shapes and races, like Dwarf's and elf's, to dragon born and orc folk! Furrys would be rolling in their graves if they could see the lack of cat girls!
although beast folk were rare because most of them were either as the sound beast, or they were parts of tribal groups that didn't associate with the rest of society. So basically native Americans on Earth.
I took in the sights of the Castlevania esc place that I was forced to get signed up to thanks to so kid if a Rick prick...
Rick Prick!
On a podium, stood the fat ass prick that had my skill bined! He was saying something but I was too angry to understand. What is this fat ass doing here!
"As your principal and main supporter, I am glad to provide every last one of you with the learning opportunities, and resources you require! Principle Eggshell out!"
...He sure is built like an egg!
His eyes snap to my direction, and I am slightly surprised. He gives me a hateful glare, and speaks to one of the guards to his side. The burly beast man start approaching me calmly.
I duck down, expecting him to attempt to find me, and start traversing through the crowd like the god tier gamer I am. Those hours of payday 2 stealth missions are starting to pay off!
Dex+ 1 ...Oh, It's that easy?
I look back at the crowd, and I am met with the leather armor of the same dude I was trying to get away from. Fuck! Alright, plan B!
I give a small hand gesture and turned around, this time putting my hands in my pockets as to act like I didn't have the shit scared out of me.
GRIP.
He violently grabs my shoulder and starts dragging me painfully. It feels like my shoulder bone is being grinded by a dull sword, but I just ignore it for now, thinking about my next plan of action. I could bite him? No, everybody would see... I could hit him with the 'What's that!' and get away!
I open my mouth but no words come out of my over crowded mouth and my teeth are latched together due to their exorbitant size.
A nearly silent grumble and a pout is that I am able to give as I am dragged my collar bone to an unknown location.
----------------------------------------
"Now what do you think you are doing at MY learning facility you beast!"
As this ass hole speaks, The guard flinches slightly at the comment directed to me and he forcefully pushes me down in a luxurious chair.
"Well?! Let's hear it!"
I gave him my best dead pan face, then pointed at my locked jaw.
Mr. Eggass rolled his eyes, then snapped his finger, and the dog dude that carried me here grabed into my jaw, and quickly SNAP-ed it open, freeing my locked teeth but racked pain in my jaw for a second.
I wiggled my jaw around then Spoke.
"Igh wass Sighed up ahs a pahert of your Orphane proghame-."
My speech was slightly clearer, but when ever I opened my mouth [Bite] attempted to activate on instinct causing me to slice through a small part of my tounge.Ow.
He looks slightly confused, then seemingly understands what I told him, and he seems mad again.
"What! I thought I shut that down a year ago?! I bet it was that secretary bitch..."
I could barely take him seriously with his Micky mouse ass voice, but I realized that this guy was a total ass whole who takes advantage of and exploits people who are less fortunate that him. Real Disney villain shit!
"Anyways! You are expelled! Get out of my establishment!"
...What?! Can he do that!
"And before you ask, yes I can and I will do that! Jonny! Move him to the dungeon floor! I don't know why I ever allowed pesents to join the school..."
Dugeons!? On top of being an asshole, this guy also does slavery?!
I am dragged by the dog dude again, and I am thrown into a dusty teleport array.
KISHT!...
I am disintiegrated in a second, but it doesn't feel so soul crushing this time, I don't feel the need to dig out my eyes, or feel the noise at the back of my mind trying to consume me. [Pain Resistance] really is a great skill!
----------------------------------------
I am built back to my original form in a dark dusty and musty smelling library. Large blooming shadows construe on the walls, almost alive In how frantic they are in nature. Fuckihg nightmares...
Still slightly on edge after disintegrating again, I feel the walls closing in on me at a snails pace, and the hairs on my body rise in adrenaline. Where the fuck am !?
Zip!
An old machine with rust covering its crevasses almost materializes in front of me, as a system window greets my eyes in a jumpscare for the ages. I wasn't scared in the slightest!
You have entered the ancient library! Please choose a book to begin your liberation from captivity!
Captivity?! Did that fucker seriously just trap me in slavery?! This shit has to be illegal...
Debt: [0 paid/ 167200 owed]
Bruh. This is more debt then I had on Earth! Fuck the American health system...
I look around my dusty environment attempting to not get too many magical desises along the way. I see many books, but most of them are of bronze and silver but the rarest I could see was a shiny almost mesmerizing gold... My inner rat is telling me to touch it but something is telling me that touching anything is dangerous.
the room was full of bookshelf across bookshelfs that spawned the still Castlevania esk environment of the school that I used to be apart of. The room was dead quiet other than my pounding heartbeat.
I scoured the room with [mana sight] but other than seeing that the books were made of mana I couldn't gain much information about the ghost from so far away with all the dark colored mana in the air around me..
I scanned the system window for any clues, and decided to follow its instructions. First I walked up to one of the closest book shelfs, then I pick it u-
I was teleported. And not like disintegrated and reconfigured again, but rather I was literally moved in an instant. Why can't all teleports be like that?
Welcom to [Sisyphuses Tomb] Dungeon!
The dropping feeling descended in my stomach. I realized I'm forgot to recast my mana cast when I was disintegrated, so I spend a couple of minutes just sitting in the pristine hallway that I was moved to. A system message appeared a couple of seconds after I was done refilling my cast with my mana.
You have 3 min 26 sec to begin the dungeon before you are kicked out! Please press the begin button to start the trial.
I looked around the enormous hallway I appeared in. No signs of life available, the smell was literally non existant, as I couldn't smell shit.
I used [Mana sight] and there was too much orange colored mana in my way to see anything that might have been useful.
No better time to start then now I guess! Not like I have another option...
[Trail begin!]
For the first time in a while [Bite] spoke to me for the first time in a while. It was louder, despite not seeing any differences through the system it felt a little stronger after recovering from its food coma.
Feast! Hungry!
It screames in rage, but I didn't see anything to e-
Whoosh!
A decaying corpse with long black claws and sunken teeth appeared at the further end of the hall way. Wait a second...
I learched slowly and nearly silently, then once I moved 20 feet, it started spinting on all fours.
"ARHHH!"
It screamed as It ran and it tounge flipped in and out of its mouth. Is this a hord dungeon!?
... The system knows exactly what I want!
I mached the ferocity of my target, running as fast as I could, unlatching my jaws to take a bite of this noob level mob. A off my mana was dumped into my body to give me the extra speed that I needed.
[74/85 Sp]
Dex+ 1
I was running manicly because this was final a chance to show the world my gamer skills!
I felt my tendons bend slightly, and I felt my hands against the cold cobble floor of this hallway almost too vividly, as I felt lighter then a cat!
[0/805 Mp]
KRUNCH!
[ Ghoul defeated! 15 exp earned!]
[169/ 216 Hp] you have injested poison!
I easily crushed through the decaying neck of this undead bitch and a taste of decay and dirt met my tounge. Ewww! This is worse than my cooking!
[167/ 216 Hp]
I attempted to spit it out, but [Bite] and [Mana Addict] were encouraging me to swallow with their manic screams that shook my soul space.
Will+ 1
GULP!
I gulped loudly, and the sides of my throat were lacerated by the barley chewed bones. I felt sick in my bone marrow and my intestines constricted in rage. Ughhh! This hurts so fucking bad!
[154/ 216 Hp] Warning! Poison is a stacking effect!
The inside of my body felt like it was trying to see how much blood they could push against my blood vessels before they exploded and [Mana sight] was telling me that more mana was attempting to form at the other side of the hallway.
[97/ 216 Hp]
Whoosh!
More ghouls appeared on the otherside of the hallway from me, but I was too busy trying to keep my mana cast from bursting with the purple mana that was collecting inside of it.
[4!$/ 840 Mp] Wanring! Foreign mana is invading your mana pool!
I could feel the decaying mana trying to break through my already injured mana cast on my mana pool. Fu-!
SHINK!
[67/ 216 Hp]
Long black nails pierced my forearm with a wet slice. [Pain resistance] told me that more of more of the purple mana was entering throughy wound. SHIT!
I turn towards this little teamer that took advantage of my temporary debuff, and sunk my teeth to get him out of the way.
[56/85 Sp]
KRUNCH!
[Ghoul defeated! 15 exp earned!]
[57/ 216 Hp] Ten Hp of poison damage?!! This is bullshit!!
Its almost too easy to break through the flaky skin and hollow bones and through the ghouls neck. I took a second to breathe, but it's just another chance for the mana to invade my lungs.
More of the purple mana enters through my mouth, and my mana pool get restored to full by the foreign mana.
[$!?/840 Mp] Mana full!
[48/ 216 Hp] Warning!
Mana addict was screaming with joy but I felt like my mana pool was going to rip like it did last night! If I dump this poisonous mana into my body it's going to destroy it's self!
SHINK!
The ghoul stabbed it long nails into my thigh, and I lost my standing on the ground so I fell towards it.
My already full mana pool struggled under the stress from the mana subjected to it.
My mana cast was on its final legs. I attempted to just punch the ghoul to avoid getting more sick from its decaying flesh.
SQELCHT!
The ghouls sunken in teeth retracted farther into its skull, but it graded my finger, Biting it off with a sickening KRUNCH! Mana flooded through the wound into my body.
My mana pool was pushed beyond its maximum, and Mana Addict attempted to consume some of the poisonous mana to keep my soul from exploding!
Rr-RIPPP!
[@/ ...ERROR Mp]
[12/ 216 Hp]
My mana cast ripped and blood gushed from my blood vessels, Purple colored blood flooded through my body as I attempted to help the issue by pumping mana into my body.
I pinned the ghoul down with my body, as I felt as if I was about to collapse as [Pain Resistance] told me that my organs were failing like my body was having a power outage because of the toxin flowing through them. I was choking on my own blood, and I fell forward on the disheveled ghouls face.

----------------------------------------
I was back in the shadow library, as I was laying on the floor no longer dying. A system log met my face. I was still laying on the ground, think about what just happened.
Did I almost die to those... TRASH MOBS?!?
I was honestly tripping because I almost lost the first floor of that bronze level dungeon! I, xxxMasterGrinderxxx, almost lost to the lowest level dungeon! I slightly embarrassed...
Vit +1 milestone 1 perk unlocked!
For rising your faults and tasting failure, you have gained EMP +1 Why did that one give me a yap log?? Also what the fuck does empathy do?
Due to how you obtained your Vitality you have gain the skill [Poison Resistance] as your perk! ...That would have been useful like 5 minutes ago!
I don't even need to look at the screen to feel the changes that resonate between my body and my soul.
I inspected [Poison Resistance].
An ignorant and unaware plague destroyed its universe without lifting a finger. A true Tyrant doesn't need a conscious to destroy the cusuallity of life. Yet a virtue still called to its name...
I couldn't describe it, But it was more than just some 'Poison resistance'. When it appeared in my soul space I felt resonace between it and all the other skills except for [Mana Sight] for some reason.
I started at the log, and re applied my mana cast to my still dying mana pool. It was still leaking in multiple places, and some purple mana was still laying inside of it, but it was mostly solved for now thanks to the new Skill doing its work.

----------------------------------------
You have entered [Sisyphuses Tomb]!
Floor: 2
I was back in the large hallway, Nothing had changed.
I pressed the Ready button before the screen could appear. I know I am ready!
"GRrrgle..."
1 Large bloated figure with puss filled sacs all across its body's learched their way slowly towards my direction, as 2 more of ghouls yelled and spirited at me like before... They really got the boomers from left for dead in this shit?
The burping abomination leaked with purple mana and their stomachs seemed to almost be bursting with maggots and pus.
Its green sickly skin bubbles with poison. Nasty...
I keep my on the faster ghouls for the moment, and punches one to my left in the face, caving it in. Then The one that was slightly behind the other one was met with the body of the slobbering companion, and the long nails of my feet.
[93/115 Sp]
[Poison resistance] was already doing its thing, obsorbing the mana that was produced by the boomer and preventing it from damaging my mana pool any further.
[339/345 Hp] Although small amounts of poison were harming my body, but It was never enough for the system to warn me about poisoning.
THUMP!
The behemoth my moved slowly but stayed far behind its already damaged allies, so I decided to stress test my new skill.
KRUNCH!
[Ghoul defeated! 15 exp gained]
My canies snapped the neck of the ghoul with ease, but the sickness that I expected didn't strike me as hard, a mixture [Poison Resistance] and [Mana Addict] has kept the poison from ever entering my mana pool.
[332/345 Hp] (Damage from Poison)
I felt a resonace between the 2, but [Poison resistance] was still too weak to create anything meaningful. The mana was consumed before it was a problem and I felt [Poison resistance] consume the foreign mana to become stronger. This skill has more to it then it seems!
As a I attempted to slowly pump the poisoned mana into my body to feed [Poison Resistance] to see what treasures it's trying to hide from me with its cryptic ass description!
[309/345 Hp] (Damage from Poison)
I could see the boomer almost 20 feet away from me at this point and I used [Mana sight] to see the corrupted mana gurgle inside of the beast body and it was clear it was about to burst.
I close my locked jaw as soon asap, and I accidentally [Bite] on instinct, spilling purpleish green blood down on the ground as I spit it out. When did my blood turn green?
[293/345 Hp] (Damage from Bite)
Grrrgl...
POP!
Impartal kill! No exp gained.
The body of the boomer burst into a pressurized explosion that sent me and the not yet dead ghoul into the side of the hallway. I landed with barley even a small pain on the back of my head after BANG-ing against the wall with a loud resounding THUD!
[228/345 Hp] (Damage from Poison) That was definitely more damage then I expected!
The ghoul was not as sturdy.
He hit the wall like a bag of potatoes and I hear a tasty SNAP! Of its sternum, exposing its heart after its flaked skin sheared off.
I breathed in a slightly painful breath of the sulfur stench of the boomers grief attempt, and slowly siphon more mana into my not so important body parts, like my toes or fingers. They occasionally bloated and Pop-ed disgustingly, but I just bit of the infected parts while the rest was dealt with by [Poison resistance]. Kinda taste like... Shit!
KRUNCH! I bite off my toe that was marinated in the leftovers juices of the boomer.
[178/345 Hp] (Damage from Poison and Bite) Why do toes take so much Hp?!? Remember to never use my strongest weapons against myself...
SPLAT!
The ghoul fell to the ground and it's slow beating heart POP!-ed under the pressure, as the mana at the end of the hallway concentrated more than before.
Impartal kill! No exp gained. Fuck!
WHOOSH!
5 more boomers appear at the end of the hallway with 2 unfamiliar... Zombie hounds from Black ops zombies? Who made these Dungeons??
Instantly, before I get a chance of analysis from a safe distance with [Mana Sight], the boomers already start exploding
Grrgle...
BOOOM!
All of them explode immediately, sending me spiraling into a wall before I could shut my mouth.
6x Impartial kills! 0 exp gained.
I tastes the acidity of bile enter my mouth and throat, and saw my Hp decrease.
[145/345 Hp]
KRACK! Yep. Something broken alright!
[Pain resistance] told me that my wrist has shattered against the wall, and the my right foot has shattered on impact as well.
The pain was mild to say the least.
[64/345 Hp] Over 100 damage!?!
"ARGHHH!!!"
I screamed in pain because of the kinetic superiority that they explosion of those 5 boomers had sent pain riveting through all of my bones like a plinko device! Fuck! Who new dead people could coordinate so well! (Except for the dog)
KHUSHH!
Waves of corrupted mana cascade across my soul, and my skin was literally falling off of my muscles as my body determinated. [Poison resistance] wasn't very happy about that...
[22/345 Hp]
Whimpper...
only one of the disheveled canies is behind as the kamikaze attempted from the boomers had killed the other one. Good to know they can damage each other! But I need to finish this before my heart fails again!
I got out of the Creator in the wall while dumping all of my mana into my teeth to guarantee a take down. An unexpected side effect of this was then turning dark purple with poison mana...Strange, no system message? Must ha-
[0/805 Mp] Mana depleted!
You have successfully channelled aspected mana through one of your skills!
You have unlocked the aspect system!
...Cool. Back to not dying!
I run full sprint towards the hound, and hit my best Usain bolt impression with my improved Dex.
[83/ 115 Sp]
Moving at this speed would have tire me out in 2 seconds flat, but dexterity had increased my effectiveness of moving at higher speeds it seems.
WHAM!
I proformmy best elbow drop, and the pooches neck SNAP-s loudly.
[Hound defeated! 20 exp gained.]
You have defeated the second floor of [Sisyphuses Tomb]
1000 credits of debt paid!
Debt: [1500 paid/ 167200 owed.]
Hopfully I don't get kicked out once the debt is paid! This is great grinding material! I just need some kind of skill that would damage enemies from far away so I don't keep losing my precious exp...
A genius idea struck me in the head! (Literally!)
Looking up to see what hit me I see a partially covered young man with glasses and pale skin almost akin to me when I was still in my old world. So basically he looked like a vampire.
He quickly retreated after throwing a decent sized rock at me, and then peaked over the large bookcase that he was camping on.
His clothes were burnt and his glasses were smudgey, but he had a certain amount of muscle on him that made me restrain from calling him 'Nerd'.
He silently spoke the words, 'Oh shit, it's a guy.' the. Turned back to a fire that I somehow didn't notice before. The shadow cast by it was clearly the living shadows I saw before. Bruh! How could I be so much of an idiot!
Eggass literally told me that he used to allow commoners to his school!
Of coarse he did this to them too!
I heard an old, but powerful voice from above.
"Tell is your name and house! Or else we may be forced to launch out battery of actual weapons!"
I though about what to do while trying to determine if they were telling the truth, when I saw the Dungeon that I had completed had become a gold level book!
I could go and talk to them... Or I can grind for my first level up to see what happens!
without any more thoughts, I touched the book to go back into my free grind dungeon!
----------------------------------------
"...Well he's dead! Don't gotta worry if it was a noble or not, if he dies to that dungeons boss."
Freddy was starting down towards the book that the disheveled and idiot man had chosen. There was basically no chance of surviving a gold book in the ' Concept' section of the library of Mr. Eggshell.
Me and the other non noble survivors had gathered on top of the concept section of the library because it was the safest from anybody trying to climb there way up without the 'latter of heaven' as dubbed by our party leader.
"Don't speak like that! We don't now how survival able he is. He may be usefully to enlist with May's ability. He seems to be a great meat shield at the very least."
Gio, out party leader, had used his analyze skill on the stranger and wrote down what he found. We gathered around the dumpster fire we created with some useless stuff we got.
'Pain resistance, Poison resistance, high hp'
Although not always perfect, the skill could usually give us enough to decide to loot or not loot somebody. In this case we would have preferred to not loot, because he had nothing except an acid burned uniform on.
" Yea, sure."
----------------------------------------
I clicked on the begin button and watched the mana coalesce at the end of the hallway and I threw myself towards the animating enemies, so I could get all the delicious exp I deserve.
[57/115 Sp]
I dumped all of my refreshed mana to fuel my body for what I was about to do.
[0/805 Mp] mana depleted!
I jumped onto my victim, only to be met with a large burly fist.
KRUNCH! I tore off a finger but I was knocked back by the large overbearing hand.
CRASH! My back slammed against the wall, and I felt the wind rush out of me as I struggled to not choke on the finger I had bitten. I simply spit it out to save me some trouble.
[208/805 Mp]
[208/345 Hp] large amount of HP lost! 137 damage from one hit?!!?
I looked at the monster for the first time,taking in the large almost Bane sized figure, with large tubes and grotesque teeth riveting across its other wise featureless face.
This was more than some simple monster, this felt like something more.
I felt resonace from a skill I had not felt in a while.
GGrggle...
[Bite] rebelled in hunger, and [pain resistance], which usually just told me what the extent of my wounds servarity, started budding a... Conscious?
Not a voice but, an understanding of what it truly was. It spoke to me in a way that I could not since, but still feel.
"A concept."
It told me an undeniable truth that I was inclined to believe.
Resonace began between [Pain resistance] and [Mana sight].
It told me that, but nothing else that was told was something I could understand.
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
The zombie Bane walked towards me in its best super villain walk, and long black claws shot out of its club like fingers with wolverine esc fashion.
"..." It screamed in violent pain. [Pain resistance] had told me so.
I huffed back the air in my lungs, and got ready to rock the shit out of this mid tier boss.
I jumped forward off of the wall with my enhanced Dexterity before it could get in any cheap trucks with the aerated and unshaped wolverine claws.
[29/115 Sp]
KUSH!
My jaws aren't able to go fully through it's neck but I chuncked a large piece of its flesh with my teeth, consuming the desisesed flesh in the process.
This one's taste was more rancid than all the others combined(except for the boomer) but the 'mana starved' Mana addict was practically begging for me to feed my skills mana for the first time in for ever, rather than just dumping it into my body inefficienctly.
[0/805 Mp]
I dumped all my mana that I got from the partialy eaten finger on the ground to my teeth and I felt [Bite] attempted to almost temper my teeth into a shape reminiscent of a shot dagger, and my Jaw heaved in weight as my teeth dug into my jaw.
[178/ 345 HP]
I could see the Mana excaping this zombie Bane even without [Mana Sight] and I could feel it not trying to invade and burst my mana pool, but actually trying to melt and break it down.
[16/ 345 HP] Health critical!
Vit +1 Max health will be validated at the end of combat!
My insides were melting like a Popsicle on a hot Texas day and [Pain resistance] put a lock down on my nerves so I could finish this before I died of a heart attack!
I could feel the melting mana pool and I dragged mana to help keep it together while I kept let [Bite] tool Control of the situation outside of my body. I was weaving a thin mana bandage around the parts where my mana pool had been destroyed, And felt an understanding of how my mana pool weaved it's self together like before because I was the one doing the weaving.
[3/ 345 HP] you will soon be deamed unconscious!
I felt resonace between [Pain resistance] and [Mana sight] as they filled information into my head as [Bite] was forcing my teeth into a shape that would help crush the spine of this abomination.
I Focused on killing this thing.
I dumped the rest of my stamina into my legs.
[0/ 115 Sp] you are fatigued!
I shot up to its neck, and [Bite] did the rest.
KRUNCH!
[Bite] Lv.3!
[Bite] had fin-
[0/345 HP] you are de-
I felt resonace within myself as [Bite] and [Pain resistance] attempted to connect to each other, In a last ditch effort.
The beast excapes.
----------------------------------------
I awoke again.
I was still in the same hall, but their was large decaying bones sitting on the ground.
They were scratched and bitten at, like an animal had gotten to them.
I felt my teeth retracteding into my jaw with a sickening chalk board against chalk sound directly inside of my brain. My vision was no longer red, and I remember what happened.
The [Predator] activated, causing me horrible pain that made me unconscious despite [Pain resistance] working at its maximum.
The beast took over, and I started consuming the desisesed flesh like it was Granny's Mac and cheese. [Poison resistance] was slowly killing off the horrible mana still lingering inside my system.
I felt it feed off of the horrible mana, and It grew stronger for it. Something deeper was helping [Poison resistance] grow stronger. Im not complaining but is it not strange that this skill is already growing faster than [Mana sight] despite being the newest skill?
I felt my teeth and they felt as if there were little parasites crawling inside of them like some white families plague ridden dog! Even with [Pain resistance] and [Poison resistance] trying to help me deal with it, the feeling just wouldn't go away!
Whatever. Let's check the system log!
You have consumed the mana of a concepted boss enemy! One of you skills have Aspected!
Unlocking the Aspect system...
[Bite] Lv.3 Has gained the Aspect of Pestilence!
Please look at you status.
I felt my teeth and pricked my finger on accident.
Blood seeped on the ground, the blood that used to be green was now a deep purple.
I looked back at my system log.
Level up! x5
You have unlocked the Class system!
...
Class chosen!
You have been given the [Punching Bag] class for taking over half of your HP in a single hit and not dying at the end of the encounter!
... I hope this isn't exactly as it sounds.
[Punching Bag] (common Tier 0)
Class skills:
[Unyielding Vitality]
[Retaliation]
Perks:
Forged Body:
Your body was forged through the hardship that you had lived through.
Improved Vit gains.
Enhanced Health and Health Regen formulas.
...Honestly... I don't exactly hate it? Thats probably weird, but those increased Vit gains are kinda forcing me to glaze this class!
Now that I actually focused on my body for a second, I could feel the blood pumping through my enlarged blood vessels, and it felt as if something was going deeping into my body.
Vit +2 (For completely consuming aspected flesh and flushing the poison out of your system)
First Vitality Perk has been Rewa- Error.
First Vitality perk has already been gained. Finding solution... Aspect system has been detected!
Rewarding User with Aspected Vitality!
Vitality has aspected into Resilientance!
So eating elite enemy's gives perks and stats?
HEll YEAH!
I could feel the life pumping through me after this Goku tier level up. I felt unstoppable, but still unsatisfied.
Unsatisfied?...I want more! No, I need more!
I stomped on the floor with my bare foot, and felt sharp pain in my ankle. Ouch!
A red status screen appeared and I was slightly startled at the sudden change in color, but recognized it as my own status screen.

I could feel my new class skills resting within my soul, and I inspected them with [Mana sight]
[Unyielding Vitality]
The greedy but giving Elder stood stuck to the pole smiling, not because of the deal with the devil he made, but for the lives he saved with his sacrifice. He felt his ambition died down for the first time as he died on the torture pole of hell. A greedy man turned savior.
Less creepy than others, but this is still slightly off putting!
[Retaliation]
The boy who had nothing lashes out at the world for its greed for the nothing he had left. He fought against the oppression that the world around him submitted to. He surpassed the point of no return, and came back just to do it again.
yea, this one just doesn't make any sense to me.
I could always inherently know what skills did, but I can't understand how to use them. Like you know what a light bulb does, but you don't know how to turn it on?
With most of my skills there was some kind of switch, or they just acted in their own, but these were different.
There was no switch, but I could feel not terms of communication. So I just tried to feel the skill for a second.
I felt a hard rough surface with no openings or vulnerabilitys. Instead when I tapped on the surface they didn't respond.
Mabye the answer is mana as always?
I trew mana at the wall, but it disappeared before anything else could happen.
Hmmm...
I attempted [ Mana Sight] directly on the skills individually.
I saw it.
I saw the rough wall that was made of black and red leather.
Of course, My class skills were a punching bag, and of coarse.
I punched it.
[800/805 Mp]
I felt the small drain on my mana and I felt the skills activated.
[Unyielding Vitality] Felt like a wave of burning lava traveling down my skin, but not damaging anything. I just felt my skin get a little hot, but my Regen fixed it before anything could become a problem. It was like Vitality was burning my flesh, healing it at the same time.
[Retaliation] felt like absolutely nothing.
Like nothing at all. Maybe it's a passive that needs somebody to attack me to activate?
While I was thinking about how ineffective having to go into my soul space to activate the ability, I saw a new window.
Your debt has been fully paid due to completing the boss floor!
You have been removed from your forced imprisonment, so you have 2 options.
1. Return to library
2. Enter the home world of the dungeon.
...The home WHAT-
