I know it has been a very long time since I have written anything, but I'd like to thank all of you for reading what I have written until now, and hope you keep on enjoying the story.

Gregory had to keep on working his way up in this world, and the only way to do that would be to keep training. He traveled out of main city London, and started moving about the country. He was trying to find a dungeon that he could enter, as that would be the easiest and fastest way for him to grow stronger. Hours had passed, to the point that it was almost to a time where he would need to head back, it was then that he found a dungeon entrance and was instantly transported inside.
Excellent, a chance to test out my new skills; especially the new lightning skills I have acquired.
Moving through the dungeon, he ran into a variety of monsters, all of them seeming to be impossible. He met orcs, elves, goblins, lesser demons, as well as vampires and werewolves. Despite normally being enemies, the vampires and werewolves always attacked him together, and were fiercely strong up close. The orcs were easy to pick off with magic, as their armor and abilities all leaned toward physical protection and combat. Elves were on the other end of the spectrum, almost unstoppable with ranged attacks, but extremely vulnerable to those faster than them. Goblins and lesser demons were on the same level of power, though with different specialties. Goblins were more physically oriented with average magical abilities, while the lesser demons were more magically oriented with average physical abilities. They also always attacked in swarms instead of just one on one. He was constantly using his spinning mana lance, growing the level of that skill. The levels he grew in "character" level were also huge, since all the enemies in this dungeon were of a higher level due to the people in the area. The lowest level he faced were the goblins and lesser demons at 49-53, then the vampires at 73-81, and everything else with average levels of 94-98. It was only due to his high INT and WIS that he was not already dead in here.
After passing level 50, Gregory gained a very powerful new skill, "Legendary Gift of the Gamer." It gave a description saying that "If you are legendary, than you must be better than a normal gamer, right? +10 Status Points/Level." "New Status - CHA. CHA governs your ability to talk to others and persuade them. Also slightly governs appearance. New Status - SPD. SPD governs how quickly you can run. Has nothing to do with physical reflexes." This new skill and attribute made him much stronger, on top of doubling the status points he had gained and kept until then. Thanks to his conservative nature, that was all of them. It brought him to a massive 500 status points upon reaching level 50. Still though, with the new status attributes he had, it was less valuable than if it had been earlier. His CHA was at a 93, probably heavily governed by his appearances and luck in speech. His SPD was at 45, making him run a little faster than previously. Still, DEX had risen to 42 during training, meaning his reflexes and ability to see attacks coming had risen. AGI had gotten to 54, due to all the running he was doing in here. STR, END, and VIT also went up while hand-fighting. STR going up one, END going up 5, and VIT going up 10.
His new status window impressed him, though for a level 50, it seemed relatively average had he spent all his status points. However, Gregory had not even tapped into these points yet. He began pondering how best to allocate these points. END increased his physical durability and how quickly his stamina regenerated. Due to skills, WIS determined his resistance to magic and how quickly his mana regenerated. INT and STR affected his magical and physical abilities. LUK, VIT, SPD, and DEX all seemed to be good ways to increase his overall survivability. CHA was mostly useless, since it was a skill that most people probably had at a very low level and his luck helped with anyways. AGI was useful, giving stamina and acrobatic ability. However, there was also the matter of what would be most easily trained. INT, WIS, and LUK were all too high to train in the normal ways, and would only be gained through rewards for quests or specific actions. That made these three the obvious choices for his status points, but the question on how to allocate them was still there. 250 to WIS would likely give him another new WIS ability. The remaining 250 could be used to bring LUK to 700, INT to 250, and still have some left to keep for a rainy day. Tapping the values in his status allowed him to change the values there. Making the changes he wanted, Gregory looked at his updated status window.

Checking his skills, Gregory saw two new ones. One for STR, and one from WIS. The skill for getting STR to 50 gave him further increased strength, allowing him to lift even more than his stats would indicate. The skill for wisdom was a bit more complex, giving him increased skill growth based upon his current WIS. It would allow him to grow skills 50% faster than currently, which would be a significant boost, and could even make the prospect of 1000 WIS more appealing aside from the near immunity to magic and the side effects thereof.
Gregory gave a small smile, he would easily be able to overpower most magical beings now, especially those that were found in a regular dungeon. Even the elves had magical stats barely matching his overall magical stats right now.
Continuing to walk through the dungeon led him to a large empty room. It gave him a boss notification before smoke filled the area. Still though, Gregory felt unafraid of the atmosphere. It was a magically generated smoke, meaning he couldn't see, but using his wind magic blew all of it away, and since he could now regenerate all of his mana in just two minutes, there was no reason to worry about lack of it. The monster appearing before him though made Gregory a bit nervous. Using his Spinning Mana Lance, Gregory now had 100 of these lances come forth with just the one cast. He had gotten it to level MAX, which decreased mana usage to just 50, and the number of lances to the 100. He had also raised magic mastery to expert level, which allowed the power to grow by that much more. With his Mystic Sight, he was able to see that the beast took some damage, but not enough. He quickly checked to see what it was. Turns out the new and improved level was useful, he was able to see that this monster was level 120, and was incredibly physically skilled. In fact, it was also magically skilled and only took very slight damage from the spinning mana lances he had cast at it. He casted ICE MOUNTAIN FUNERAL, freezing the monster. It looked like a troll, but had the name CHIMERA, which meant that it was a combination of multiple monsters. Just then, a woman, at least as old as his real age appeared in this boss room. She commanded the earth element, along with the element of water. She opened a huge hole in the ground, one that went deep down into the earth. It was a fairly simple spell, but incredibly powerful and high level.
Just then, knowledge flooded him, the knowledge that he had met his future wife. He was gaping, how did the system know he would marry her, had he married her in this time, and then had a child with her? Just then, he knew what it was preventing him from returning home. His father told him that their family had started as a lone orphan very near this time. He was his own ancestor, as odd as it sounded, but by at least 50 generations. This is why he had felt as if he had to stay in this time, and why it wouldn't let him return. The future that was available to him was still possible, but he wouldn't be able to return to his own timeline until their child had been born.
The woman he saw was beautiful, in a very innocent way. Her face was attractive, thin, but not even close to an anorexic look. Her entire body was thin, but she had the right curves. Her hips were a little rounded, and she had a bit of a chest. It wasn't obscenely big, but it was bigger than average. In Gregory's eyes, there was no more attractive woman. When she looked at him, she felt that he was incredibly powerful, but was intrigued by how he looked. He was incredibly attractive to her, being thinner than most of this day and age, and the one man she had met who was this powerful at a younger age. Just then, the dungeon crumbled around them, Gregory received the items from the chimera, but ignored them. He was too entranced by this woman he just met.
