Lei Ge moved forward, even downward, crossing one floor after another, battling monsters. Whether it was the dog-headed men or the goblins, who were quite famous among the lesser monsters, no matter how many gathered and how they attacked, they were all easily defeated by Lei Ge.
No monster could react to Lei Ge's movements.
No monster could withstand Lei Ge's strikes.
Lei Ge only needed to charge forward and swing his sword to instantly kill a monster and easily break through the surrounding monsters, annihilating them all.
This gradually made Lei Ge somewhat dissatisfied.
"Is it just that our basic abilities have grown by one or two stages, and the monsters on the lower floors are no longer enough to challenge us?"
Lei Ge, ignoring the fallen monsters around him, frowned deeply.
At this point, he had already descended to the 4th floor and arrived at the entrance to the 5th floor.
"It seems I need to continue going deeper," Lei Ge thought, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the entrance to the 5th floor, which resembled a cave opening.
"According to the records, based on the experience of the guild and various Familias, adventurers of my level are generally considered capable of exploring floors 5 to 7, right?"
Adventurers of level 1 can explore floors 1 to 12.
Starting from the 13th floor, monsters classified as level 2 will appear, and the environment of the dungeon and the efficiency of monster production will undergo a significant change.
Therefore, floors starting from the 13th are considered off-limits for level 1 adventurers, who are believed to be unable to conquer these floors.
The guild and various Familias have also established the approximate difficulty of exploring floors 1 to 12.
For example, floors 1 to 4 are considered suitable for adventurers with basic abilities ranging from I to H.
Floors 5 to 7 are suitable for adventurers with basic abilities ranging from G to F.
Floors 8 to 10 are for E to C, and floors 11 to 12 are for B to S.
According to these standards, as long as an adventurer's basic ability meets the required level, they can determine which floors they can explore relatively safely based on their own basic ability stage.
"My 'Dexterity' and 'Agility' are both at stage G, so according to the standards, I should be able to explore the 5th floor relatively safely," Lei Ge thought.
Unlike last night, when he also reached the 5th floor but faced numerous dangers.
During his battle on the 5th floor, Lei Ge encountered several life-threatening situations, and most of his injuries were sustained on this floor.
If it were the current Lei Ge, he should be able to explore this floor safely.
But—
"Safe exploration?"
Lei Ge murmured, then made a decision.
"Go deeper into the floors."
That's right.
He didn't need safe exploration.
If he wanted safety, Lei Ge wouldn't have ventured into the dungeon alone, without any armor, holding a short sword that was more for decoration, right after receiving his blessing.
At that time, Lei Ge didn't even have a single ability at stage G, let alone H. His overall ability proficiency was zero, and his physical condition was no different from that of an ordinary person.
In such a situation, Lei Ge dared to venture into the dungeon and even reached the 5th floor. Now that he has grown, how could he be satisfied with so-called "safe" exploration on the same floor?
Of course, doing so would be very dangerous.
But so what?
"Death is not scary."
What is scary is waiting to die.
At least, that's how Lei Ge felt.
If he was destined to die, he would rather die chasing freedom on a path he chose, exhausted from the pursuit, rather than waiting for someone else to murder him, as he did in the past in his original world.
So, he would run.
Run to higher places.
Rush towards greater challenges.
"Let's go."
Lei Ge charged towards the entrance to the 5th floor without hesitation.
That night.
When it was completely dark, Lei Ge finally left the dungeon and returned to the Twilight Mansion.
This time, he barely managed to restrain himself from staying in the dungeon for a whole day and night.
After dark, he had to return to Orario, back to the base, which was a strict order from Loki.
Considering this, although he was somewhat reluctant, Lei Ge followed Loki's instructions and left the dungeon after dark.
Back at the Twilight Mansion, Lei Ge cleaned himself and changed into clean clothes before once again heading to Loki's shrine.
The purpose, of course, was to update his ability values.
Perhaps because Lei Ge had been obedient, Loki, who was drinking in the shrine and had filled the room with the smell of alcohol, seemed quite pleased and readily agreed.
Thus, Loki's drunkenness quickly cleared up.
Lei Ge Brihaut
Level 1
Strength: H184 → F385
Endurance: H177 → F380
Dexterity: G202 → E431
Agility: G215 → E449
Magic: I0
Looking at the growth of Lei Ge's ability values after the update, Loki's lips twitched repeatedly.
"All abilities increased by a total of over 800?"
Isn't this even more than yesterday's growth?
Loki felt her head buzzing.
What's going on?
What's really going on here?
The growth of ability values should slow down as they approach the S stage, right?
But this kid not only didn't slow down; he became even faster!
Last time, after battling in the dungeon for a whole day and night, his total ability proficiency only increased by about 700. This time, it was just a day, and he wasted a lot of time registering as an adventurer and buying weapons and armor, yet his growth rate didn't slow down; it became even faster?
Is there any justice in the world?
"You—"
Loki really wanted to ask what Lei Ge did after entering the dungeon.
But after some thought, she gave up.
Her divine intuition told her that if she pursued this, she would likely be driven to anger.
This kid must have done something dangerous again.
And indeed, if Loki knew that Lei Ge not only reached the 5th floor but also the 7th floor today, she would have been driven to anger.
To have a good night's sleep, Loki very rationally chose to change the topic.
"Given your growth rate, it won't be long before you can rival some of the veterans who have been struggling at level 1 for several years," Loki said with a sigh.
To complete in just two days what most adventurers take years to achieve?
Really, it's just ridiculous.
"Perhaps, you will break the record for the fastest promotion to level 2 and become the new record holder," Loki's evaluation was exceptionally high.
"Let's hope so," Lei Ge said while putting on his clothes, looking at the updated ability values, lost in thought.
"Why do you look so troubled?" Loki, seeing this, bluntly said, "Don't tell me you're dissatisfied with your growth rate. If you dare to be so pretentious, I'll hit you."
"You, a god, using such pretentious words, really surprised me," Lei Ge said with a hint of helplessness, then continued, "I'm thinking about the 'Magic' ability."
Loki understood Lei Ge's meaning.
"Are you very concerned that your 'Magic' ability hasn't grown at all?"
Loki voiced Lei Ge's thoughts.
"Yes," Lei Ge nodded, "All other abilities are improving, but only 'Magic' remains the same, which feels very wasteful."
"I understand, I understand," Loki agreed, "With your inhuman growth rate, if you can't also improve your 'Magic' ability, it does feel like a waste of talent."
The 'Magic' ability is different from other basic abilities.
The other basic abilities, such as 'Strength', 'Endurance', 'Dexterity', and 'Agility', determine physical attributes and close combat abilities, while 'Magic' is a separate system.
'Magic' determines the power and effectiveness of spells.
For mages who rely on magic, are not good at close combat, and completely depend on magic to defeat enemies, the importance of 'Magic' cannot be compared to the other four basic abilities.
It can be said that even if one doesn't train 'Strength', 'Endurance', 'Dexterity', and 'Agility', as long as they have magic, they can still achieve considerable combat power and even a higher status than close combat specialists.
After all, magic is a symbol of supernatural power, equivalent to a miracle, and is inherently extraordinary. Whether in terms of status or power, it cannot be compared to close combat.
Therefore, if given the opportunity, anyone would want to train their 'Magic' ability.
Lei Ge is no exception.
"In the original world, I couldn't use magic anymore. Now, with new possibilities and the chance to use magic again, not trying to explore it would be my problem," Lei Ge thought to himself.
The issue is—
"Lei Ge, your magic doesn't seem to be something you can use casually, right?"
Loki raised this question.
"Yes," Lei Ge sighed, recalling his magic.
[Omnipotent]
· Memory Magic
· Cast specific magic based on memory
· Magic strength determined by 'Magic' ability
· Only effective for confirmed magic
This is the only magic Lei Ge possesses, a highly versatile and extremely powerful magic.
"From the effects of your magic, it seems you can use this magic to cast all the magic you have memorized, achieving the purpose of using all magic," Loki said, looking at Lei Ge with a gaze that increasingly resembled looking at a monster.
This magic is another extremely ridiculous thing.
