Chapter 4

I checked my status after leveling up, making sure it aligned with my knowledge from my previous life.

In Creon, every time you level up, HP and MP increase by a total of 15, and other parameters by a total of 5, and it seems to be the same in this world.

Incidentally, for frontline classes, HP and strength tend to increase more easily, while for magic classes, MP and intelligence tend to increase more easily.

In the case of the [Void Emblem], which is an all-rounder, the parameters are balanced.

Additionally, as a note, you are given 2 status points to allocate to parameters other than HP and MP.

How you allocate these points is up to the player, and this has been a factor in increasing the freedom in Creon.

"For now, since I plan to use a sword as my main weapon... I'll allocate the points to strength and speed."

I confirmed that my strength and speed had each increased from 2 to 3 and nodded.

"Alright, let's keep pushing forward at this pace."

After that, I continued to slay the monsters that appeared one after another.

Sometimes I was surrounded by several of them, but thanks to my inherent skills, I managed to reach the deepest part without taking a single hit.

About two hours later, my status when I arrived at the boss room was as follows.

――――――――――――――――――――

Zelos Sylphide

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Emblem: [Void Emblem]

Level: 9

HP: 90/90 MP: 45/45

Strength: 17

Endurance: 9

Speed: 17

Intelligence: 9

Luck: 9

Status Points: 0

Skills: None

――――――――――――――――――――

The low-level range requires less experience to level up, so it went by quickly.

At this rate, I could have raised my level a bit more, but I decided to stop here.

"Otherwise, the conditions won't be met."

In most cases, the appearance of the inheritance shrine requires meeting several conditions.

In the case of this [New Recruit's Training Ground], one of the conditions is to challenge the boss while still in the single-digit levels.

"Well, everything is ready. Let's go."

After psyching myself up, I opened the large door and entered.

Inside was a vast hall, with broken swords and armor scattered around.

The dim lighting added to the slightly eerie atmosphere.

Creak! Bang!

Immediately after, the door behind me closed with a loud noise.

At the same time, a figure appeared from the back of the room, gripping a longsword and exuding a seasoned warrior's aura.

"Status"

As I said, information appeared before my eyes.

――――――――――――――――――――

[Light-Armored Instructor Knight]

- Recommended Level: 15

- Dungeon Boss: [New Recruit's Training Ground]

- A knight who has trained many new recruits. It is said that no one has ever managed to dodge all of his swift and continuous attacks.

――――――――――――――――――――

The recommended level for this boss is 15, which is 6 levels higher than my current level.

Moreover, boss-level monsters often have special skills, making them more troublesome than their level suggests.

However, in such a situation, I smiled.

"Alright, this is my first boss battle in this world. Don't disappoint me."

"……Aaaaaah!"

And so, the battle with the dungeon boss [Light-Armored Instructor Knight] began.
