“Shit! There are so many of them!” Riley blocked the incoming swords; the iron causing sparks. Riley slashed the skeleton swordsman; it deconstructed. Riley looked at the other swordsmen and bowmen. Riley slipped by the swordsman and went straight for the bowman.
[Pierce]
Riley’s sword pierced through the ‘Mana Core.’
You defeated a [D-rank Skeleton Bowman]!
[Level 9: (44/100)]
He turned around and saw the swordsmen rushing in. The bone rattling echoes throughout the cave. Riley grits his teeth; he steadies his breath. “FUCK!” An arrow stabbed his shoulder; he looked at the bowman who threw the arrow at him. The swordsmen raised their swords and attacked. Riley blocked with his sword; blood soaked through his clothes. He pushed the skeletons back. He steadied his breath.

[Vitality: 108/120]
Many bones fell to the floor; Riley looked at the rest of the skeletons. Blood slithers down his arm; the arrow serves a stinging pain. The bowmen raised their bows and fired. Riley deflected their arrows with his sword; he rushed at the skeletons.
[Hack n Slash]

Riley looked around; hundreds of bones lay on the ground. “That hurts!” Riley pulled out the arrow that was lodged in his shoulder. “Just great! No ‘Mana Cores’ today! What a great day,” Riley grumbled to himself.

Riley’s eyes panned over the new system. His eyes landed on the quest. He tapped on it to see what it was; he wondered what ’Real Leveling’ was.
[Real Leveling]
Riley looked around the cave; he opened his inventory and grabbed the key. It was a normal key; his eyes widened when he saw a mini-map of the world. He saw a blue arrow leading him the way; Riley followed it. It led him out of the portal.
Would you like to add [Old-worn Sword] to your inventory?
Riley tapped the ‘yes’ button; he needed the sword for future purposes. He exited out of the portal. He continued to follow the blue holographic arrow. He arrived at a tunnel; he saw a white transparent wall blocking it. It had a giant lock in the middle; cars were passing through the wall. He inserted the key into the lock; Riley’s body was forced into the tunnel.
You have entered a [C-Rank Dungeon]. All injuries have been healed. You cannot leave until you defeat the Boss.
Riley’s eyes widened; he looked back at the wall. He couldn’t walk through it anymore; he saw cars going through it and disappearing. Riley equipped his sword; he cautiously walked through the tunnel. It was fairly long and dark. He saw rubble and vines on the walls; this wasn’t here before. It smelled musty. He heard some bones rattling; his heart thumped faster.
The guard had a sword, a helmet, and a shield. His eyes widened; the text of the skeleton guard was yellow. He wondered why. The guard took notice of Riley’s arrival; it raised its sword and approached with caution. Riley raised his sword and approached the skeleton. The skeleton suddenly struck; Riley barely deflected the sword. The skeleton tried to pierce Riley’s body; Riley deflected it once again. Riley steadied his breath.
[One Slash, One Life]
Riley’s eyes widened as the skeleton blocked with its shield; the skeleton swung its sword.
You have been damaged!
[Vitality: 112/122]
Riley grits his teeth; he takes a few steps backward. He swung his sword at the skeleton; the skeleton deflected his attacks with ease. “Damn it! How did I beat a Cyclops?!” Riley grits his teeth; veins form on his neck.
[Pierce]
Riley’s sword had finally pierced through the shield; the shield was stuck on Riley’s sword. Riley withdrew his sword; he took off the shield. “Now what? You can’t defend anymore, skeleton,” Riley snickered. The skeleton rushed at Riley.
[Pierce]
You defeated a [C-rank Skeleton Guard]! You have leveled up!

[Vitality: 112/124]
Riley grinned; his grin faltered as he looked up.
He looked at the sword on the floor. It was the skeleton’s sword. He picked it up and inspected it.
You have picked up a [E-rank Sword]!
Riley discarded his old sword and used the new sword. The guards rushed; they charged with their shields. Riley clutched his sword and narrowed his eyes.
[The Threads of Life]
The guards block with their shields; Riley grits his teeth. Riley turned around and looked at the guards. The guards charged again; their swords grazed Riley’s skin.
[Hack n Slash]
The guard’s shields started to crack; Riley grinned as he tried to break their shields.
You have been damaged!
[Vitality: 108/124]
Riley’s abdomen was grazed by their sword. “Damn it!” Riley took a few steps backward; these skeletons were so different. They understood teamwork. Riley rushed at the guards; they raised their shields. Riley swept his sword on one of the guard’s legs. The skeleton's legs deconstructed; its shield fell on the floor. Riley stabbed the guard’s core killing it.
You defeated a [C-rank Skeleton Guard]!
[Level 12: (90/100)]
The other guards raised their shields; they swung their swords. Riley dodged out of the way.
[Hack n Slash]
The guard’s shield had finally broken. They looked at their shields and back at Riley.
[The Threads of Life]
The guard’s cores have been destroyed; Riley looked at his injuries. “Tch. This ain’t so bad,” Riley mumbled to himself. He looked further ahead; it was a bit foggy.
You defeated a [C-rank Skeleton Guard]! You defeated a [C-rank Skeleton Guard]! You have leveled up!
