With William being awake we thought of ways to get to the top floor. With the annoying sound monster, it would be incredibly hard for William to go with me. Even If I could go without William...I can’t do anything!
“This really seems to be a problem. We can’t go on because every time we do...there's a chance that annoying monster attacks us again. Is there really no solution to this?” (William)
“What I’m worried about isn’t the monster but what caused a bunch of strong magicians and swordsman from the empire to die. What makes you think we can pass this?” There was limited knowledge about the monster and they still haven’t seen what killed all the officials in the empire. “Could we maybe cover our ears with something to avoid the sounds?” (William)
“No there are also the mental attacks!”
“Crap I forgot about that.” At that point, we thought of giving up. There was nothing we could do. Unless… “Why don’t we just fight the monster!” (William)
It was the stupidest idea I ever heard! “How do you fight a fucking wall? You want us to throw stuff at it?”
“Maybe? What about the egg you always carry around! That thing is unbreakable. If we threw it at the wall it would have to take at least a little bit of damage! Then we do that over and over again til it's dead!” (William)
Although the idea seemed stupid, there was nothing else we could do. So I went along with William's idea. Since he still had the status boost he would be the one to throw the egg. We planned out some more and were ready to now enter the 48th floor! I knew I wasn’t prepared for that monster showing up again! The only type of defense we had against it was a stupid little egg that somehow because useful when it is mainly useless!
We walked up the rest of the stairs and reached the 48th floor. William confirmed the status boost he received. The difference from last time was that there were monsters on this floor. “Check their stats. They look strong!” And so I checked one of the stats for one of the monsters.

“Huh?”
“What? Is it really weak? Or strong?”
“You just might be able to beat it but...one of its skills is blanked out and I can’t see what it says. It's just filled with question marks.”
“But, I can beat I right?”
“Yeah, just try your best it's not too weak.”
At my words, William ran out to the monster and punched it. It hissed but didn’t get damaged much. Hmm...Probably because of that Shell skill. The battle was pretty even. The monster would attack William but its attack would get dodged. And William would counter but it didn't do much damage. The battle went on n the same order. But, the monster was losing its ground faster and faster. It's speed slowed down at an incredible rate. It was actually incredible! William was Lv.9 and he could fight on par with a Lv.21! It was something that anyone could only imagine! But, here I was with someone who could do that. Who gave him that power. Whoever it was they are incredibly strong

After a while, it was clear the monster was losing but William began taking damage and he was bleeding. He was also running out of strength. So I grabbed my sword and ran in to join the fight, but right at that moment, William said, “Watch out!” My immediate response was to jump back which was the right choice because at that moment a giant spider fell to where I was just standing; blocking me from William.
“Wait for me to finish over here! Until then just dodge all of its attacks!” I inspected this monster at this point:

What? The spider was stronger than the Crab at a lower level but that wasn't the only thing I noticed. They had two of the same skills. One I couldn’t read and they had something about, “Death Army.” It really was strange. But that was not the time to think because I had to find some way to get to William and survive this giant monster! The cave was very narrow so there was no way for me to get closer to William.
But, that also caused me to be surprised. How did the spider get here? There was no way for it to get to this spot because even the tops were covered. I began running as fast as I could because that was where the monster was weakest at. There was nothing to do but run! The spider chases after me but was close the whole time because my agility was only above it's by 6 points. Then it shot its web towards me
I looked around for anywhere I could dodge to. There were some rocks I could do quick parkour on. Back on earth I always loved doing parkour. It was easy and fun. I jumped on fences or rocks. This was the moment where it actually became handy to know how to parkour. I jumped up about 5 rocks and jumped on top of the spider. It hissed because now it couldn’t attack me while I was on top of it. It tried to smash me on a wall but I jumped to another side of it every time it did so. I leaped on the side rocks and got over it. It was now at its back and running towards William. Then I got a notification.

This skill was another amazing skill, but I had no time to think it over. I needed to run over to William so we could get out of here! I was close enough to William to find that the crab was down, but not dead. “Why didn’t you kill it?!”
“Just hit it once or twice to get the experience!” The spider was on its way but its speed wasn’t high. So I quickly got out my sword and slashed at the crab. Its shell was incredibly hard. It took about 10 strikes for it to finally die.

The spider that was close behind didn’t give up. “William! Quick get the remains of the crab! We can maybe use it later! But, for now, we need to run away!” We ran until we could find a suitable place to stay. We saw a small hole that both of us and the crab remains could fit in. We ran in just in time before the spider smashed down where we just were.
“We actually made it out! Wow! And look at that experience I just got! Thanks, William! My stats went up by a whole bunch! But, it's still not enough to beat that fucking Osamu!
“It's fine! There’s bound to be a huge treasure at the end of this dungeon.”
“That's if we ever get there! We were only able to kill one of the monsters and there's still one there! And your hurt!”
“You are indeed correct. But, we can't just give up like that!” We laid there tired. Each thinking about our life mistakes. Why do I have to do something like this crap! My life is in danger all the fucking time! I just wanna go back to earth! But, of course, my wish was not granted. From the moment I entered this world...my wishes all became void. Just like that, we fell asleep on each side of the wall. While we slept I did not notice the status update that popped up.
