'Well this is just peachy. Is my whole day going to be spent running away ?'

Looking at the group of Lv. 5 goblins who'd spotted him and were making their way towards him with obvious hostile intent, Adam thought this.

'They don't really look like they could cause that much harm. Individually, I bet I could take on any of these things, but with the numbers advantage, I'm screwed. There's also the fact that my SP is dangerously low, and my HP isn't looking so good either. For now I'll escape and try to recover as much as I can.'

Turning around and facing the opposite direction where the goblins were coming from, Adam raced off into the sunset, his tail between his legs, justifying running away as a "strategic retreat".

After running through the landscape which had somehow miraculously transformed into a forest environment for a while, Adam finally came a stop by a tree and sat down to rest.Watching his SP and HP slowly getting full again, he questioned the system.

'What exactly is this dungeon, and how do I get out of here ?"

[Dungeon]

A dungeon is a sub-dimension, created by **** from **** ****** to ******** ** **** and ****** *** **** ( Level too low)

Dungeons are usually explored by groups of awakened, who eliminate the monsters for materials and to close them down.Within the dungeon, time flow is different, and the higher the grade, the slower the time flow.In F grade dungeons, 1 day outside = 3 in the dungeon. The dungeon can be cleared by destroying the crystal which supplies the dungeon with it's mana. The crystal is usually guarded by powerful monsters which receive more support from the dungeon and thus are usually a lot more powerful than the normal monsters. More powerful dungeons also have Elite, Unique and Rare class monster's, which are stronger than normal monster's, but weaker than Bosses. There's also some [Special] dungeons which may have Elite, Unique or Rare bosses, which usually need awakened who are higher leveled than the dungeon to challenge it, due to the high difficulty of defeating them.Dungeons are Classified from F - A for mortal awakened, and S - ****** for the ******** to ******* ( Level too low).

'This is the first time I've seen the system tell me so much about something. That must mean that dungeons are that important I guess.And whats with all the censored words? What level do I need to be to have access to it ?'

[Above Lv. 100]

'.....Wow. And who knows when that is going to happen.'Adam thought.

'Well, that's something to worry about later. Right now let's concentrate on getting out of here.' way

'From what the system has told me, the only way I can leave is by breaking the crystal supplying the dungeon.The crystal is going to be guarded by a normal monster probably, since I didn't see any [Special] tag added to the Dungeon.That's good news for me at least, but it still doesn't mean it'll be easy to beat, especially if a dungeon normally needs a group of people to clear it.There's also the problem of the groups of normal goblins roaming around. If I try to fight the boss and they interfere, I'm done for. The best solution that'll also help me in getting stronger,and having a better chance at beating the boss, is by first taking out the goblin groups.This will give me the chance to Level Up, get experience fighting their race, and increase his skill proficiency at the same time.Three birds with one stone.'

'It would sure help if I had some more skills though.'

Grants skill [Mana release]

.

.

'Yes, with this skill, I'll have a higher chance at surviving.'

[Mana Release](Active)

A basic skill mages must practice from childhood.

Allows mana to be released externally from the body.

This skill helps children who are training to be mages learn to control the flow of mana through their body.

Higher levels in this skill will allow one's ability to release mana and the area where the mana will be released from, to increase.

....'Or not. Seriously system ? A skill for children ?' Sighing, Adam thought so.

'In the end I can only depend on myself to get out of this.Well, better get started then, so I can get out of here as quickly as possible.'

Standing up after recovering fully, Adam headed off into the woods, plotting the best ways to kill the goblins as he walked, his feet making crunching noises as he stepped on the dead leaves on the ground, and smelling the sweet earthy scent of nature.

'At least the weather is really good.' He thought

'Ok, so right now I can't risk facing any big groups. Although they're small, they out-level and outnumber me. They might also call for help the instant they see me, which would be annoying. I'll have to find some lone one's first to level up. I could also try putting Stat points to the stats close to zero so I can get some more perks and hopefully some useful skills. But is it really worth it? Stats are going to get harder and harder to earn manually, and stockpiling Stat points to use in the later game, possibly after I get the stats I'll be focusing on to around 50 or so manually, seems like the best strategy.' He thought.

'But does future strategy really matter when facing this present crises?, I don't really have a choice. I need any edge I can get, and these stat points are going to help me get it.

Deciding this, Adam brought up his stat screen and looked at which stats he could get over 20 .

'Hmm, STR and WIS are the closest ones, so I'll focus on those. Putting stat points into the others seem like kind of a waste cause I'll have to use a lot to get them over 20. Hopefully STR and WIS give me something good. Ok, here we go.'

'Wishing he gets something good, Adam put 3 stat points into WIS, taking it to 21.

[By having WIS over 20, you have gained the Perk 'Wiseman']

[Effects]

WIS+ 25

CHA+ 10

Grants skill [Mana Control] and [Meditation]

'Great, these seem equally as useless for this situation. Guess I'll just check them out I guess.

[Mana Control]( Active)

A basic skill usually used by children training to be mages, this skill is used for controlling mana released externally into different forms, and is very useful for setting the foundations for mana usage.

Increase in level will allow one to have a greater and more versatile control over the mana they release to the outside.

[Meditation](Passive and Active)

After learning the basics of releasing mana into the environment, and then controlling it into different shapes, one must then learn how to control the external mana from the environment and guide it back into the body, filling it again.

Increasing levels in this skill will allow the body's ability to actively or passively recover mana will Increase.

Current

Passive: +5% increase to mana recovery (+0.1% per level)

Actively: + 10% increase to mana recovery (+0.1% per level)

'Well these skills will be great when I finally get magic skills, but right now they're pretty useless.'

His hopes dashed, Adam lamented.

'Guess I'll have to level up and get STR over 21 for a hopefully useful skill.And so it begins huh?'

Going into his cool and collected phase, Adam whispered " The hunt begins" ,as he slowly started prowling through the woods, searching for his first victim.
