More training

I swung my sword cutting into a wolf monster, Hellhounds were just like normal wolves...

A fireball rushed toward me and I jumped back.

Except they shot out fireballs.

A bug shapes crystal jumped towards me from my back and I spun around bringing my sword to its neck. Its body was like a mantis, and it was about to lash out with its claws.

Its head fell to the ground, and I rose an eyebrow, these were the monsters on the floor thirteen?

It wasn't long before a rabbit jumped toward me, it had white fur and a horn on its head.

I looked up, only to see... a horde of bunnies charging right toward me.

I held my katana tighter and waited for them to get closer and then I moved.

Releasing a wild barrage of crescent-shaped in front of me, I watch the monsters turn into dust, leaving behind magic stones... I need a supporter, but I doubt anyone would follow me past floor six with only the two of us.

I bent down to pick up one of the stones and put it in the pouch on my leg.

Ugh, this world is really... mundane? Yes, that's the word, go into the dungeon, beat us some monsters, come back, update status and repeat.

I sighed as I sat down near the wall with my back against it, if something spawned behind me, I didn't care.

I managed to recreate the "Lonely Moon" from the moon breathing, it was probably the sixth form or the seventh.

Floor thirteen was like a giant cave that was always, somehow, lit up enough to not leave a dum place.

The original user of moon breathing Michikatsu Tsugikuni could use his blood demon art to make his katana longer, Im pretty sure that it did something else too but I couldn't understand any of the demon abilities very much.

I grabbed my sheath and looked at it for a second, then at my sword.

putting the sheath back in its place, I pick up two medium-sized rocks in my hand and concentrate on them, willing the Falna I have been feeling for a while to go into the two.

Probably not the best place to do this, the dungeon is dangerous and all, but whatever.

The Falna travelled out of my hand and entered the two rocks. My eyebrows rose up to my hairline, I could feel the rocks, not just the part where they were touching my hand, but I knew where I had to hit to make it crack, its exact shape and-

I quickly slashed apart the rabbit jumping towards me. Looking to my left, I could see monsters coming straight out of the dungeon walls. With a sigh, I gripped my sword and plunged it into the head of Hard armoured wanting to burst out of the wall behind me.

I stood up, maybe, it was a good idea to be on the surface to test things out.

Or...I could go down a few more floors kill the goliath... and go into the safe zone...

Nah, Im not stupid enough to risk my life like that... Yet.

Im just going to go down to the fifteenth floor and fight minotaurs, Ligerfangs, with a side dish of Crystal Matis, Hellhounds and Dungeon worms.

"Yey for me..."

The monotone im my voice was so audible that I could feel myself die a little inside.

Slicing apart the monsters that were spawning, I head towards the next floor.

When I reached the entrance of the fourteenth floor I saw something that was supposedly very common in the dungeon.

A party of three adventurers, One wolfkin, one human and one dwarf, all laying on the ground, surrounded by a pool of their own blood.

Normally, the monsters would eat the bodies or others would loot them...

I sighed and walked closer, Adventurers guild gave dog tags to each adventurer, if they were killed and not eaten, others could take them and return the tags to inform the other familia members of their comrade's death.

Crouching down, I reached toward the dead human's neck and look for the identification...

It took a little searching because of the armour but I found it, standing up, I moved towards the others... I had to drag them to the surface too huh...

This is where party members would be of help...

With a sigh, I dragged them toward the stairs, And with their dog tags in my hand, I started climbing up the stairs.

-Back at the twilight mansion-

"So you wanted to go to the fifteenth floor to dight minotaurs..."

I rolled my eyes, she was acting like I didn't tell her what happened a minute ago.

"Yeah."

She hummed and got off my back, extending a piece of paper.

"You know, people usually wait at least a few weeks before getting an update."

Really?

"I imagine a sudden increase in strength would be hard to get used to, That's why I wanted to get used to my second level."

She just shrugged and looked outside the window to probably check the time... The sun was setting.

"...My magic went up?"

My mutter went unheard as Loki turned towards me with a grin.

"This time, you are coming with me to Hostess of fertility! No arguments! No objections!"

I think she forgot "and" there, but eh, I wasn't an English teacher, I don't get paid for correcting others.

"Okay."

She stopped her "High and mighty" act and looked at me with a blank face.

"That's it?"

I shrug.

"Here I thought that I would have to drag you there... That's kinda disappointing."

Did she expect that I would have to be dragged kicking and screaming? What am I? A kid?

Standing up, I took out a paper from my pocket, It was an update right before I levelled up.

Adding the stats up, my strength should be 1702, endurance is 1746, dexterity should be 1523, and agility 1703... add that the level-up boost and I should be able to compete with level three's.

Neat.

"What's that?"

I showed the curious deity the paper and she rose an eyebrow.

"Im adding up my stats from the previous level, If I knew how much the power up for a level up was, I would add that too."

She shrugged and grabbed my hand. Before she could drag me away, I grabbed my katana.

"Hey! People! Get ready to get wasted tonight! Giyu is coming along!"

...Bruh, no need to announce it.

A Dwarf responded to that call... And I suddenly felt like I wouldn't be getting out of this... Unless I drink a lot of booze.

The Dwarf came around the corner, yoinked me out of Loki's hand and started dragging me himself...

Is it just me, or am I being manhandled?

-twelve minutes later-

"Mama Mia! Bring out the booze!"

I was still being dragged along... Not even a second later, I was shoved into a chair.

Next time, im gonna cut off his hand, just because he's level six, doesn't mean he can just drag me around...

I straightened my clothes and repositioned my katana.

Looking around, some adventurers were looking at us, or more specifically, me. I just ignored that as I looked at the others at the table I was sitting at.

Finn was sitting right across from me, Gareth was next to him to his right and Tione to his left.

Ais sat next to Tione and Riveria was to my left, with Tiona to my right... Bete was in the middle of Tiona and Gareth, sulking like usual and Lefia squeezed next to Ais.

My impassive stare travelled across the others and did the only thing I could... Wait for the waiter... How ironic.

"So, Giyu, How have you been doing since you joined?"

Tiona asked me while throwing a hand over my shoulder...

Why does everyone keep touching me? Im no elf, but it's still uncomfortable.

"Fine... though, people seem keen on celebrating..."

She smirked and shrugged as if to say "What can you do?" and pointed at Loki who was sitting at the counter with a beer mug in his hand.

"You should get used to it, she loves any kind of alcohol, so any excuse to celebrate, she'll take it."

Ah... Now it made sense.

Grabbing the menu, I look it over... Pasta seemed good right about now.

"Now lad! Tell me, how's your experience in the dungeon?"

Looking up, I see Gareth leaning on one hand over the table, sending a curious look towards me.

Social interaction... My worst enemy...

"Well... I went down to the twelfth floor about a week ago... And fought a black wyvern... I wanted to go down to floor fifteen but... Something came up."

Thankfully before he could inquire further, a waitress arrived... Thanking whatever god sent me here for this small mercy.

"Hello, may I take your order?"

Looking up at her, I raise an eyebrow, she was an elf, and from what I knew, elves didn't like being touched, so to see one working at a bar where accidental contact was highly possible was unusual.

"Pasta with... water."

I wasn't drinking here, don't know what Loki is going to do to me.

"Ah! Ignore him! Bring him booze!"

Wonder how short a dwarf can get... Maybe if I decapitate one it would set a record.

"Bring me water, Im not paying for something I didn't order."

This is why I didn't want to come here... People just can't keep to themselves.

"Alright."

The green-haired elf walked away with the order snd went towards the counter.

Seemingly displeased by my "audacity" Bete clicked his tongue and glared at me.

"Just take the drink, weakling, you're not paying anyway."

...What were these people's problems?

"So, Giyu, do you mind telling us about yourself? You have been in the familia for a month now and we barely know anything about you."

Fin smiled, and that smile unnerved me, not that I let it show.

"I do, actually."

The others stared at me in bewilderment... did they think that I would just up and tell my backstory?

"What do you mean " I do"? Answer the question!"

"No."

"You bas-"

"No."

"Come here!"

"Refrain yourself."

"Dont run from me!"

I had already stood up and was circling the table while bete tried to catch me.

I didn't question why he didn't use his level six strength to catch me, the others were enjoying the show. Using false rainbow, I changed directions when he caught up.

"Stop using that!"

The others laughed and I chuckled. Walking backwards in a bar was not a good idea as it seemed and I ran into someone...

Turning around, I grabbed the person, who was female judging from their stature and grabbed the mug that wasn't spilled and straightened them, this delay was enough for Bete to catch up.

"Ha!"

Crap.

We didn't get a chance to struggle as Tione tore us apart.

Bete sat down again, grumbling something under his breath, and I looked over to the person I ran into... It was the elf girl... crap.
