There was dragons!

Gwahh! Simon screamed as he woke up on the street, sweat dripping from his forehead, he remembered what happened in the dungeon. Before his eyes is a message from the System.

{Dungeon challenge failed, returning to the original destination, The key has been lost!}

Damn, I got killed at the start! Wait, how I'm I still alive? Simon questioned what happened.

{Dungeons are a part of the system, failing them won't cause death!}

This has made it clear, he won't die in the dungeons created by the system but outside he can die! After that, a feeling of regret crept into him as has has wasted a dungeon key.

Better level up before attempting again, Simon made his mind.

"I will try again when I reach level 5, at that, I might be able to solo it!" This was full of determination! It was time to at the sweet, sweet loot!

With a single thought, the system opened up, showing three windows.

Oh, this is nice, I leveled up. Simon smiled as he examined his stats. A lot of interesting things happened.

Firstly he now knows that his HP And MP will increase by an equal amount to his body and magic stat respectfully each time he levels up. His HP went from 10 to 22 which is what he had +his base Body. The same for his mana it went from 10 20. Deep down Simon wondered if this happened earlier would he have succeeded in the Magic test? No, it had no meaning since even if he succeeded he would have stayed in the university for 4 years and probably never heard of what happened to his Village.

I will level up my body stat again! I will need the HP and endurance to hunt, track down whoever did this! He looked to his destroyed Village.

Body: 12+1==>14+1

With this Simon looked at his daily quests I still need to finish two, I don't seem to have gotten the Exp for the two that I have finished? I guess it is collective, you have to finish them all to earn the rewards.

Walking around, he looked for the nearest garage, Simin helped himself in as everyone was already dead, he looked through and found a grinding stone, he turned it on and started sharpening his short sword, this was for the daily quests. As a thank, he painstakingly buried the entire house residents he found.

"Thanks for allowing me to use your stuff, Rest in peace!" Simon prayed for them. Finishing this he returned to his home, greeting his parents grave as he was entering. He headed to his room where he sat on the bed cross-legged. The meditation quest was what he intended to finish, doing it outside might be dangerous!

It took several attempts to finish meditating for 10 minutes straight, he usually got distracted easily by the slightest howl outside, was it because he just go molded by wolves? that's what he didn't know.

Surprisingly he didn't hate it! It helped him sort his thoughts about what happened until now, it's been a rough day.

{Daily quests finished, the reward will be given!}

{20 Exp, Rank F dungeon Key, +2 stat pints}

Immediately after getting the skill points, he spent then raising his Body again.

Body: 14+1==>16+1

"With this, my weapon should be doing 3+(0~8) points of damage right?" Simon took his short-sword to inspect it. Something that should have been expected popped out.

---------------------------

Name: Shortsword

Damage: 3(Base damage)+2(Sharpened damage [This will wear out slowly as the weapon is used])+(0~8)

---------------------------

Was I supposed to do the daily quests before entering the dungeon? They seem like preparation to me...The more he thought about the more regret he felt, If had just had more patience he would have known this before.

Simon stood up to keep testing the system but was interrupted with a sudden feeling of exhaustion, his limbs felt heavy, numb. His eyes wanted to shut closed. Grwaaaa! The rumbling of his stomach echoed through the room, he was getting hungry tired and sleepy. He rushed to the nearest fridge and grabbed a can of Iced coffee, down it on one go.

Opening a bottle of cold water and pouring it on his head, he was jolted awake again, "I need to at least eat something before I fall asleep, What the hell is with this feeling? It's as if my eyelid weighted tons, I can't keep them open!"

Looking inside the fridge, a hunk of raw beef caught his attention, It looked thick and juicy, Simon never had any cocking experience so all he could think of was throwing it on the fire with some salt, and so he did.

Lit the oven, sparkle some salt on the meat, and put it on fire! He watched it slowly cock, I want it medium, no medium-rare! He looked in anticipation! The moment it showed any signs of being cocked Simon grabbed it with his bare hand and flipped it so it can cook on the other side.

Simon flipped it for the second time and it looked good for him? Was it because of the hunger he was just a bad cook, the steak was definitely not cooked, it wasn't even rare as it still had some blood in it!? He cared less and munched on it as if he hadn't eaten for years!

As he swallowed the last bite, his senses returned to him, Dit I put the fire out? He reached with his hand and realized.

"Did I just flip it with my hand?! The fire was turned on right?" The realization felt him with an easy feeling his hand was fine. With bother curiosity and fear of what he has become he reached with his hand to the fire.

He kept getting close and closer, he never felt any head, until his hand was directly touching the stove, fire engulfing it, it still felt at room temperature.

"What is happening?!" He questioned himself, his eyes wide open as he looked at his hand.

Their feeling will guide youuuuuuuuuuu! As this sentence rang in his head, it was accompanied by extreme headache, the pain was so unbearable Simon passed out.

Fire, Blood, raging dragons... Massive boulders falling from the sky. The dream was hazy as if sped up, The image of an endless rain of meteors spelling doom on the world, dinosaurs screaming in fear, the endless army of dragons soaring into the sky in rage, the Image of a single crying cavewoman, holding a child in her arms, screaming as she watched the dragons fade into the sky.

The dream flashed into black, lit by the glimmering stars, The endless space, It was then easily swallowed by a single dot of nothing, a black empty spot where even space seems to crumble.

The vast fields, bountiful harvest, Dragons flying in large groups cheering, they stooped by an alter, they looked like ants, hoards of dragons as far as the yes can see, they all bowed their heads to the ground, In front of them was a statue depicting someone that Simon has just came to know, The Astral Dragon King.

"You must release THEM!!!!!!!!!!" The Astral dragon king boomed in Simon's head, waking him to extreme pain in his chest. He couldn't even breathe, It was as if he was hit was a baseball bat in the chest.

Suffocating from the pain Simon couldn't even scream, as his eyes almost jumped from their socket they glow red, taking the shape of a cat-eye for a moment then returning to normal.

As the pain lessened, Simon fell on his face coughing. His heart was beating like a drummer in a death metal band.

{Notice: Body reached the desired level, The skill [Fire resistance level 1] has been unlocked!}
