I wake up and like always I stretch, workout, and meditate before starting my day. I’ve gotten quite hungry. They don’t give me any food or anything like that.
「Stamina +2」
Today is the day I challenge the 4th Floor. I've been working on how to use my 'Fast Thinking' Skill. Its unlucky the room doesn't really heal my injuries or mental strain.
Anyways lets challenge the 4th floor.
「Choose Floor
Floor 1
Floor 2
Floor 3
Floor 4」
"Floor 4"
Instead of being teleported like the last 2 floors, this one is in the hallway like the first floor. The room inside is dark and has torches for lights. I can see a shadowy figure on the ground.
I walk inside of the room ready for him to rush at me.
"Hello young one, there is no need to be so on guard."
"Why is that, what is the objective of this Floor?"
「Floor 4
Objective: Earn his acknowledgment 」
"I have to deem that you're ready for the 5th floor."
How hard is the 5th floor doing to be then?
"How do I obtain your acknowledgment?"
"Just a casual duel, nothing to serious."
"Okay let us start."
I walk to about 10 feet in front of him just enough to were I could still react if he pounces. If not I will strike first. I start with a strike to the lower abdomen. He dodges out of the way.
"Is that really all you can do? How did you pass the 3rd floor?
"That doesn't matter does it?"
I pounce at him again this time he strikes first. I dodge just out of the way with only a hair strands width between me and the sword. I'm lucky I obtained Battle Instinct.
I counteract with a blow to his legs just grazing his ankle causing blood. In the second it took for him to regain his balance I was in range for my new move.
"Vampiric Grasp!"
I can feel myself getting stronger with his life force, I slash him hard in the stomach seeing his insides slurp out. I can smell the scent of the blood and see the pain on his face.
"STOP, I acknowledge you, you are strong enough!"
「Floor Cleared
Congratulations on clearing Floor 4! +45 XP Level up! +200 gold!」
"Thank you for helping me advance"
I return back to the room as I swing my scythe to get rid of the blood. I can hear it splatter on the ground. Inside the room I question whether I should attempt the 5th floor or not. He said I was ready.
I decide to challenge the 5th floor.
「Choose Floor

Floor 5」
"Floor 5"
I can already tell its a forest, I can smell the leaves.
「Floor 5
Objective: Eliminate the Goblin Village Cheif」
I quickly crouch down calming my breathing as I hear goblin like sounds from in front of me.
"Wochick ulul"
"Smama cric"
There are only two goblins, should be an easy kill. I run towards them hearing my steps echo in the leaves. I jump upwards and bring my scythe with me swinging it down onto both of them.
"Absorb Soul"
「Agility +2」
Hmm, I wonder how hard this is for other players. I wish I could see others, I'm getting lonely. Anyways I need to complete the Floor. I'm getting hungry to.
I drag the goblin corpses back into the forest. I start a small fire and place a goblin on top of it. I can hear the meat sizzle and crack. The fire smells good. It sure is peaceful here. Is this what it was like before humans got on Earth? I wonder.
I take the meat off and put the other one on. I take a bite out of the goblin. It resembles chicken just way tougher. I had to chew for a solid 3 minutes just to get it down.
I start hearing leaves crumble. I guess the fire attracted them. I jump into the tree above me to see where they are at. Around 200 feet to northeast of me. I jump to the next tree while swinging on the branches like a monkey.
I land on top of one crushing its body and hearing its bones crack. The other one starts screaming I slice its head clean off.
"Absorb"
「Agility +2」
I would rather have intelligence but Agility is good.
I start heading down the trail the goblins came from. I notice the smell. I can smell a moldy scent. I guess it's goblin. I see a village with a wooden fence around it and goblins swarming.
I observe the village. 2 guards protecting the gate, 4 on top of the gate and more inside the village. I will strike at night and observe more. I noticed that 5 goblins go out every 6 hours to go hunting and bring back food. I will strike when they are 3 hours out. I make sure to grab some rocks if I will need them.
The goblins leave, and I enter. I sneak up to the gate and stealth kill the first goblin. Immediately kill the 2nd before he can make and type of sound. I scale the wall with and stealth kill the goblin above. I throw a rock and kill the one next to him.
"Absorb"
「Intelligence +2」
"Animate"
I can hear the goblins down below start getting back up and the wounds mending. I quickly crouch down when I start hearing more goblin sounds near me.
"Whpock Kik"
"Chic Chic"
I jump downwards slashing those two in the stomach. I hear more talking as I drag the bodies out of the way.
"Absorb"
「Agility +1
Strength +1」
"Summon"
I hear them get back up and walk back like nothing happened. I can hear more goblins inside the houses near me. It feels like they are normal humans just in different bodies. I can see them eating dinner and laughing. Feeling jealousy as I watch them eat food.
I can see the people laughing inside the house and people cheering. Seeing a window right next to where the chieftain sits gave me a chance. I walk right past the chieftain grabbing a huge rock next to the house. Throwing it straight into his head. Smelling the scent of blood knowing I succeed. I hear the screams of confusion and sadness. Watching goblin children crying.
I jump through the window and start a slaughter. Feeling bad for doing it to them. Having no business with them. It's survival of the Fittest so I can't complain. I absorb all of the souls from the people slaughtered first. The chieftain goes last.
"Absorb"
「Strength +3
Agility +2
Intelligence +1」
I go right next to the chieftains body getting exited for what I will get.
"Absorb"
「New Skill:
Silent Movement: Less noise while walking around, running, and other activities. Less of a chance to be found out.」
I grab some food from the table happy I don't have to eat goblin. I can feel my stomach rumble in joy from all the food I'm eating. I see the door and start walking over.
「Floor 5 Clear
Congratulations on completing Floor 5! +50 XP Level up X2! Gold X300! 」
「When you return back to your room you will find more options available for you!」
I head back into my room. I see basic necessities from Earth I would never be so happy to see. I see a bed. I'm so happy I could cry. But before I could do anything else another window pops up.
