Welcome, adventurer. You have entered Dungeon 7883667HG8776DE985762763FF7-1, currently known as The Training Dungeon. You are now on the Twelfth Floor.
Not wasting time, Robert went to the System Shop and sold the six rods he had earning him 49 gold and 80 silver. "Looks like you were right on the money, a little over 8 gold per rod. Switching over to the items for sale, he pulled up the list:
Item Name Item Tier Item Rarity Item cost Item Description Food Ration 1 common 2 copper
A basic daily food ration.

Random Rare Scroll Pack 4 Epic 1 token This pack contains 5 random Tier 4 spell scrolls.
"Hal is that what I think it is?" Robert yelled to Hal.
If you are talking about the Teir 2 book then yes it is. Though you are nowhere close to getting it. You've found a few rare tokens, but I'm guessing you will not see Epic for another 10 levels or so. That being said you can exchange 4 rare tokens for an Epic which happens to be how many you have. With that, you could buy the scroll pack which would at least give you a few Tier 4 spells to cast.
"Probably a good idea, unless I get spells for things like trash disposal, which wouldn't help me at all here.' Robert said in reflection. "How do I exchange them?"
When you go to purchase the pack, it will give you the option to use your 4 rare tokens.
Following his instruction Robert purchased the scroll pack and received the following:

"Hal, what the heck is this?" Robert exclaimed, eyes wide as he scanned the list of spells. "I can't even use three of these! And time travel? Are you serious?"
It's random. But yeah, those are pretty powerful spells. Be careful with that mind-control one though. It's illegal in a lot of places.
Robert returned to the shop to check the price of the scrolls. "Holy cow, Hal! The System will buy that scroll for 250 gold!"
Well, it is a Tier 4 Epic spell combining two spheres. I'd expect it to be expensive.
"I don't think I need the Necromancy spell, so I'll sell it. And as for the mind control... I'm not sure it's worth the risk. I'll sell that one too. At least I'll have enough to buy all the other books." Before he could change his mind, Robert sold the two scrolls and purchased the remaining books. "Hal, tell me about Conjuration. I'm guessing it's what I think it is?"
Probably, Conjuration is a Sphere of magic focused on the creation and manipulation of matter and energy. Conjurers excel at summoning creatures from other planes of existence, creating objects out of thin air, and transporting themselves and others across vast distances.
Robert grinned. "So, it's definitely worth unlocking."
Unlocking the skill he held off on learning the spells, after the last time he did that, he wasn't risking a side quest again. Heading into the next area he discovered his dungeon run this time was a desert. As soon as he stepped through the door it vanished behind him landing him in a vast open desert. Looking around he was able to spot what looked like a build several miles ahead and with nothing else to do, he headed off in that direction.
Robert had taken no more than a few steps before his first foe burst out of the sand"
Name: Giant Scorpion

Robert, his body a blur of motion, dodged the scorpion's massive pincers. The creature's chitinous exoskeleton glinted in the desert sun as it lunged forward. With a swift gesture, Robert cast Fire Lance. A fiery spear materialized its tip ablaze before it was hurled with deadly accuracy, piercing the scorpion's exoskeleton. The creature roared in pain, its movements slowed. Seizing the opportunity, Robert activated Earth Spike striking the create again. Robert's Air barrier deflected the scorpion's retaliatory strike before it shattered leaving him unprotected. He moved in for the final blow, his sword raised high. With a powerful swing, he severed the scorpion's tail, ending the creature's threat.
Robert looted the scorpion, earning 10 silver and 10 pounds of valuable chitinous shell. He continued his trek, battling twelve more scorpions before a familiar message appeared:
Level Up!
Level 21, just 14 more to go until he felt like he was no longer in danger from anyone on Earth. After about 20 more minutes he encountered a different creature:
Name: Horned Lizard
Class: N/A
Race: Desert Lizard
Profession: N/A
Gender: Male
Stats: Str 16, Dex 21, Con 19, Int 5, Wis 4, Cha 5
Level: 19
Resistances: N/A
Health: 520
Mana: N/A
Robert watched the Horned Lizard, its spiny body glistening in the desert sun. The creature puffed itself up, a defensive display that only made it look more ridiculous. The lizard lunged, its sharp claws aimed at Robert's chest. With a swift motion, Robert cast Fire Lance. A fiery spear materialized in his hand and shot towards the lizard. The creature was struck, its scales sizzling and smoking. It let out a high-pitched screech and retreated. Robert followed up with Earth Spear. A solid, earthen spike shot from the ground, impaling the lizard. The creature thrashed wildly, but the spear held firm. With a final, decisive strike, Robert finished off the creature. The battle was over. Robert stood victorious, the silence of the desert broken only by the soft hiss of the dying fire.
Looting the create Robert found 8 silver coins and a Horned Lizard skin. Continuing on, Robert was attacked by 10 more of the lizards before he reached the building he had been walking toward. If nothing else the creatures on this run were paying out in experience points.
Level Up!
The wind whipped across the barren landscape, carrying grains of sand that stung the eyes and chapped lips. The sun beat down mercilessly, a blazing orb in a sky of endless blue. Robert, weary from his journey through the desert, approached a crumbling fortress. Its once-proud walls, now eroded and scarred, stood as a silent sentinel against the encroaching sands. The fortress, a relic of a bygone era, was a stark contrast to the desolate landscape. Its broken windows and shattered doors hinted at a violent past, perhaps a battle lost to the relentless sands of time. As Robert ventured closer, he could see the skeletal remains of creatures scattered across the courtyard, a grim reminder of the dangers that lurked within these ancient walls.
Entering the broken remains Robert looked around for danger, knowing this would be the location of the final battle from this dungeon run. Entering the courtyard in the middle of the fortress his unspoken question was answered by the largest lizard he had ever seen:
Name: Giant Fire Lizard
Class: N/A
Race: Volcanic Lizard
Profession: N/A
Gender: Male
Stats: Str 25, Dex 21, Con 23, Int 5, Wis 4, Cha 5
Level: 22
Resistances: Fire(85%), Water (-25%)
Health: 1220
Mana: N/A
Looking at the information provided by his skill he knew which spells to use.
Robert, heart pounding, readied himself for the battle. The Fire Lizard, a monstrous creature of flame, roared, its breath a torrent of fire. Robert knew he had to act fast. He raised his hand, focusing his energy. A bolt of water, crystalline and powerful, shot forth. It struck the lizard's scaly hide, extinguishing a small portion of the flames. The creature roared in pain, but its rage only intensified. The lizard charged, its claws outstretched. Robert swiftly cast Water Wall, a shimmering barrier of water materializing in front of him. The lizard's claws struck the wall, causing ripples and distortions, but the barrier held. Robert seized the opportunity. He unleashed another Water Bolt, this time aiming for the lizard's eyes. The bolt struck true, blinding the creature momentarily. It stumbled, its attacks becoming less precise. Robert continued his assault, each Water Bolt chipping away at the lizard's health. The creature, though wounded, fought with a savage ferocity. Its fiery breath scorched the earth, and its claws raked at the water wall. Finally, after a grueling battle, the lizard's health dwindled to zero. It let out a final, mournful roar before collapsing to the ground, its fiery form extinguished. Robert stood victorious, his body weary but his spirit unbroken.
Robert looted the fallen Fire Lizard, claiming a gold coin and a fiery Firestone. As soon as he finished, the creature's remains vanished, replaced by a shimmering chest.

With that the chest vanished and Robert exited through the portal.
