POV: 3rd Person
Minotaurs flooded the 10th floor as John watched with confusion from the sidelines. Entire groups of Adventurers ran away as the Bull-Headed Monsters chased them closely from behind.
After a short chase, a small group was surrounded from all sides by the Minotaurs. The Monsters slowly approached, steam expelling through their nostrils.
" Shit! We're surrounded!! " A skinny man with twin daggers yelled loudly to his party members.
" I d-don't want to die!! " A young blonde haired woman wearing a robe sobbed while gripping her staff tightly.
A Minotaur that was taller than the rest raised it's Greatsword as it snorted in disdain.
Before bring it down though, a bearded man young man suddenly sliced it's legs from behind using a Saber, severing a few tendons in the process.
" Bwahaha!! " A stout dwarf boisterously laughed as he hit the head of the kneeling Minotaur with his war hammer, crushing it's skull in the process. " Thanks for the help lad!! "
John turned around facing the rest of the Minotaurs and yelled in return. " No problem Pops! "
" C'mon lads, it's not over yet! " The Heavily Armored Dwarf yelled as he and his team mates snapped out of their despair.
John quickly brought out his Shield and then starting hacking away wildly at the nearby Minotaurs. They couldn't do anything to retaliate.
If they tried to attack, they were met with a unbreakable Iron Shield. If they defend, they get sliced into ribbons by his Saber.
After a prolonged one sided battle, the instincts of a few Minotaurs got overridden as they turned tail and fled in fear.
They got met with a arrow into the back however when they did that.
After all the Minotaurs got wiped out, John didn't stay around to chat. He gave the group some advice and some spare bandages and went back to hunting the Minotaurs,

I made sure to pick up the Monster Cores of the Minotaurs before I left. Good thing that the previous group I saved didn't complain about it.
They would fetch for a pretty large sum of money. It would be hard to explain where I get all of my gold and silver so it would be nice to have a legitimate income source.
After picking up the Monster Cores, I decided to kill some more Minotaurs. It would be kinda a dick move to leave the Adventurers to fend for themselves when I can do something about it.
I need the extra funds anyways in the future for what I'm planning.
So that's what I did, I started saving more groups of Minotaurs and after killing my fifth one, a pair of curious eyes landed on my back.
I turned around and was met with the gazes of a few people.
Two Amazons, a Emo-Girl, and a Wolf Boy.
They were nothing special until I noticed the downed Minotaur near them. I guess they are trying to clean up the Minotaurs too?
Deciding to be friendly towards the group of people, I gave them a wide smile and approached them.
" Sup, have any idea why the Cowboys are on the 10th floor? " I asked while trying to lighten the mood a bit.
All of a sudden, one of the Amazons who I deemed as a younger sibling fidgeted while mustering a smile " Uh, actually.. "
" And why do you care you rando? " The wolf boy spoke aggressively in return. " Not like your gonna do anything about it. "
" Oh shut up Bete, we accidentally pushed the Minotaurs to the 10th floor while we were on a expedition. " The older Amazon explained patiently while seeming confused on how casually I talked to them.
Maybe they're some big shots around these parts because they're from a expedition. Not gonna make me treat them any different though, they'll have to earn my respect.
The blonde emotionless girl also decided not to participate in the conversation. Maybe she's just a introvert or she's experiencing some kind of trauma.
They didn't have any weapons so as a gesture of goodwill, I decided to give my trash Greatsword and craft a pair of twin daggers for them. They were gonna help save all the Adventurers so it would be a wise choice to arm them.
" Here, take them " I said as I held out my Iron Greatsword and a pair of freshly crafted Silver Daggers.
They looked confused for a moment until I explained " You guys are gonna help kill the Minotaurs right, you guys have no weapons so this might help kill them faster. "
" We are first class adventurers, this trash will break on the first swing " The wolf boy mocked once again.
The wolf boy was starting to get on my nerves. It was all right on the first time because I was indeed, a rando.
This time however, he was not only insulting me, but he was insulting my weapons!
I spent day and night grinding, getting injured, even dying a few times to get the materials for these weapons, and this fucker thought that he could get away with insulting me like this?
It would immature to just challenge someone younger than me to a fight like this. I'll probably even lose because this guy is a first rank adventurer. What I can do though is prove him wrong and watch as he throws a fit over it.
" You're choice I guess " I said as I stabbed the Greatsword cleanly into the Dungeon floor without resistance, I then hung the Silver Daggers on top of it's hilt. " See you guys around "
I then left without saying another word to his face. You might ask, how does this prove him wrong?
Well you see, Dungeon floors are made out of a special type of stone that is stronger and even more durable than the stones outside, this is the reason why Adventurers just don't create craters every time they fight monsters inside the Dungeon.
So the proof that my Greatsword is a good weapon is how easily it pierced the stone without resistance or effort.
If they are smart, they will realize that the Greatsword is a good weapon, if not, then it's their loss.
Anyways, after that showdown on who is the better alpha male, I continued hunting the Minotaurs with my Iron Strengthened Longbow, this thing was nuts.
It could cleanly pierce a Minotaur's hide and come out of the other side without resistance.
I also took the liberty of testing a few special types of arrows that I brought along.
The Knockback Arrows, as expected, does a lot of knockback.
The Minotaurs that it hits get flung into the nearby walls like a limp ragdoll.
The Piercing Arrows, well pierced the hide of the Minotaurs easier.
The thing though was that in the Minecraft world, Piercing Arrows did not do more damage to mobs, it just had a chance to pierce through them and hit the mobs behind them.
In this world, it was different. Things bleed here meaning Piercing Arrows do more damage than regular old arrows.
Before long, I wiped out all the Minotaurs and returned to the surface with my spoils.
A sack of Monster Crystals
I was gonna be rich.

Authors Note: Do you think it's a bit much that John behaved a bit Immature around Bete? You know, because Bete is younger than him by like 3 years.
