I ended up with a 'feeling' of wanting to train my 'Sword Art...
However, I chose not to ... for the time being.
I would have to exchange my pajamas for my replaced clothes, they were not flashy at all. Just a black V-neck shirt with long sleeves, military camouflage pants, and military boots. Pretty simple, huh?
''Menu,'' I said softly to myself.
A blue Semi-Transparent window appeared in front of my eyes.
- [ Menu:
- [ Status ]
- [ Abilities / Spell ]
- [ Inventory ]
- [ Quest ]
- [ Map ]
- [ Shop ]

-xXx-

Initially, I did not think I had a 'Map', however, it was hidden from my view. There is nothing new about the 'Map', perhaps the fact that I need to explore the entire dark area to unlock the regions.
I pretty much had to explore the entire area around the tree house, as well as the Candy Kingdom.
Clicking on [ Quests ] - At this very moment, I looked at my actual quest.
[ Become a king of your own house! ]
[ Objective 1 - Close all the Dungeons of the ''Cave''. ]
[ Reward - Random Skill Book x1 ]
[ Objective 2 - Kill The Final Boss ]
[ Reward - Territory Creation ]
[ Objective 3 - ? ]
[ Reward - ? ]

I wasn't too interested in the Skill Book that might come and would still be happy if I won.
Surprisingly [ Territory Creation ] is much more interesting than any skill, I just hope I don't have to do all the dungeons around the Territory I want to master.
The hidden reward was good too, it could be anything depending on my luck. If not for my Rational side - I would have already spent all my Attribute points on 'Luck'.
In the meantime, however, I would rather spend them all on DEX or STR.
Having to crawl repeatedly to conquer that piece of 'Land' will be annoying.
I disconnected from the 'Complicated' stuff for a moment.
I found a comfortable position in my chair and waited to look in the direction where the sun will rise. I looked at my black digital clock and it was [ 5:55 ].
Adjusting my position once again, I spread my legs as wide as I could and put both hands behind my head while closing my eyes.
Quickly the sun began to rise over the horizon as it illuminated my face, the feeling of the warm sun beating down on my face was certainly pleasant.
I don't understand why people would want to blow up the sun. It's so beautiful.
It was like this, unfortunately, I didn't have much time to stop by up here on the "Boat" to see this beautiful sunrise, it would be nice if Jake was here, but, he didn't wake up until 8:00 am.
... I would have to eliminate some monsters around - Find another dungeon, I already know that in Candy Graveyard there is an 'Undead Dungeon' from levels 5 - 30 ... So this will be my new experience in the grinding area.
''Operator, show me some weapons that serve my purpose.''

''Mmm...'' I ended up humming...
I took one last look at the beautiful sunrise before heading back inside the Tree House.
Because I didn't ignore my DEX, I'm not going to fall down these steep stairs.

( Pov - Finn. )
In the dungeon, nothing but a large open field with creeping grass and flowers blooming coming to new life while high mountains surrounded the field.
Right in the middle of the open 'Field' was my 'Enemy' which, by the way, will be a 1x1.
I ended up using my 'Observe' skill on him.
Mountain Troll LV29
Hp: 50.000 / 50.000
Mp: 0 / 0
Big and strong, but at the same time slow and primitive, he prefers to live alone and isolated to hunt his food.
Blow: Using a full action, the Mountain Troll can travel up to twice its displacement, passing any character at least one size category smaller.
Heavy Blow: Using its powerful brute force, the Troll attacks the Player causing massive damage.
Regeneration: Even if a Troll lost an arm, an eye, or a leg, it would still be able to regenerate them in a matter of minutes or seconds, depending on the Troll's strength.
The monster was at least four meters tall and had a fat but sturdy body that no blade could get through its tough, tough skin.
Without saying a word, I looked at the demon-shaped mask in my hand and then at the strange symbol.
''Operator. Attributes, show me.''

- Effect 3: Supernatural Sharpness. Able to cut through Spirit Beings and Mythical Monsters.
***
When the operator first showed me this weapon The Azakana Blade, I had doubts about it because it didn't look that strong. I ended up judging the book by its cover and the blade would suit my ideals.
As for the fact that she had 'Tried to steal my body, I wasn't so worried about that.
It wasn't me being arrogant or anything, but with the [ Player's Mind ] he or she would be nothing more than a glorified blade. Strong, but a slave to my will.
Stepping out from under a large lone tree in the middle of the field, I stepped out from the shadows canceling out my [ Stealth ] which was enhanced by the [ Spirit Avenger Cloak ] I was wearing.
***
When Finn came out of the shadows of the lone tree, the Troll noticed Finn, opened its jaws, and roared.
"Guaaarg!".
From the force of its roar, long strands of mucus ran down its jaw, clinging to its ragged, jagged teeth.
Finn assumed his position and the 'Mask' in his hand morphed into 'Sakura' petals around his hand, turning into a single-stranded blade.
And for the first time since reincarnating himself, Finn let all his
excitement escape, his excitement soon turning into a 'Tsunami' of intentions of pure desire to kill the Troll in front of him.
* Ding!
Ignoring the notification, Finn had his other weapon in his other hand, for being a swordsman he knew how to use both hands with maximum efficiency.
The Troll frantically waved his club as he ran towards Finn. Finn watched the club carefully and dodged it once.
Woosh
Twice...
Whoosh
He dodged the club and slashed the back of the Troll's knee.
The Troll fell to its knees. Finn tried to cut the Troll's head off like he did all the monsters before him, but...
Woosh
The Troll swung its club again toward Finn. Finn was forced to stop as he used 'Charge' to dodge the club and step back creating a distance between them. The Troll immediately got up and attacked Finn.
The cut on his leg had regenerated by the time he finished screaming. If he had used 'Power Strike or Piercing Attack', the fight would be over by now, but Finn wished to preserve every bit of this moment.
'I don't think the same trick will work on a Troll.'
A Troll's physical strength was enormous, and with extraordinary regeneration capacity, a human could not counter with purely physical attacks.
The Troll picked up his club and attacked Finn once again. Finn dodged the club and
Woosh
Finn slashed the Troll's shin and spun around, striking and slashing the wrist with which the Troll was holding the club.
"Kragh!"
While screaming in pain at losing his right hand, the Troll swung his fist toward Finn with his left hand.
Finn jumped backward to avoid that blow. The Troll's fingertips displayed sharp nails like spears.
Once Finn landed on the ground, he brought the two blades together by overlapping them and a bluish glow began to come off them.
The Troll again swiped his left hand in Finn's direction, but Finn quickly dodged and moved closer to the Troll.
And all he had to do was use his weapons and hold them in the trajectory of the blow. The Troll's massive blow met the blades, and the momentum of the Troll's attack slashed his wrist effortlessly.
''Kragh!''
Finn set to work slashing and slashing mercilessly at the Troll without mercy. It was a horrible task, but Finn could not lessen the pressure as the Troll could regenerate everything in a matter of moments.
Without both hands, the Troll was unable to retaliate to Finn's attacks and finally bent down to protect its body.
The moment the Troll leaned over, Finn used 'Power Strike and Piercing Attack' at the same time and decapitated the Troll using both weapons.
[ You Gained +5,000 Experience! ]
And without pause, the operator announced his victory.

***
He doesn't remember how he created this ability in the first place. Mmm, maybe it was in the beginning. Finn reflected.
Shrugging his shoulders, Finn swung his blades, getting rid of the Blood flowing through them and The Azakana Blade began to absorb a 'Black Miasma' from the Troll's body.
Finn just watched everything with watchful eyes and so, after a moment, the 'Black Miasma' stopped being absorbed as if it had completely disappeared.
''Has anything changed on the weapon, Operator?''
[ No. ]

''Give me the Book, Operator.
Doing as requested to Finn, a Book without a cover appeared in Finn's hand.
Observing the Book, he agreed to gain the skill, there was no reason not to.
A golden glow left the Book and entered his body as a notification came into his mind and Finn's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Wiping away the Troll 'Blood' that was on his body. Finn picked up the Chest that came at the end of the dungeon breach, something that was not in his calculations, but if so, more money for him.
Stowing the Rapier in the holster at his waist, he looked at the Azakana Blade and it turned petals and became an Oni Mask again.
Pulling the [ Spirit Avenger Cloak ] from his back and he stowed it in his inventory.
''Exit.''
A dim light shone on him and once again he was in front of the dungeon entrance.
Finn looked at the blue screen in front of him.
[Dungeon.]
Status - Closed!
System Note: The dungeon will open again in 12 hours.
System Note: The enemies will be stronger and smarter than before.
***
Closing the window, he had to make breakfast and start collecting all the resources to prepare a new territory, thanks to Territory Creation this would be a piece of cake.
''Mmm, I have the day practically free, can I use Gate to do that?'' Finn thought with a wicked smile.
