Jackpot

Surprisingly, it was still morning.

Even after spending all those hours in the dungeon, the Sun of this world was still shining bright.

"Hmm.... maybe they have more than 24 hours in a day here..." , I thought.

And then, I simply walked outside the dungeon. As the sunlight touched my bones, I relaxed. However, this world had other plans.

My enjoyment soon came to a halt as I heard the robotic voice again,

<Pet 1 cannot exit the dungeon.>

I looked back and saw BDSM constantly trying to escape by ramming its head on some sort of invisible barrier.

<Pet 1 cannot exit the dungeon.>

The voice continuously spoke as BDSM tried to leave.

Saddened by this, I walked towards BDSM as it lowered its head.

Patting the poor creature's head I spoke, "It's alright. I understand that you want to come with me, but I'll be fine. Don't worry too much. I'll be fine."

Similar to a whine, BDSM spoke to show his sadness, "Grrrrr...." which slowly softened with time.

"Don't worry, I'll be back. But for now, I must go. I'll see you soon BDSM!"

With those final words, I left the dungeon and walked into the forest.

After a few yards, as I looked back, I still saw BDSM waiting there, at the barrier of the dungeon.

I tried my best to communicate with BDSM with a glace indicating "Goodbye." hoping, that BDSM would understand.

As I walked further into the forest, I thought about the pet I lost due to the system of the world.

"Damn it! I lost such a great pet in a single day! BDSM was perfect and I loved BDSM for those short moments. BDSM did so much for me. Without BDSM, I wouldn't even be here. But then again, without BDSM, I wouldn't have lost my arm either."

"Huff... oh well. Everything has its pros and cons. But more importantly, what should I do now? I'm in the middle of the forest, and I don't even know what to do or where to go. I think I should stop for a while, and create a temporary settlement."

It had been nearly 10 hours since I entered the forest. It hadn't rained ever since I entered, but no matter where I'd go, I'd see water on leaves that were fallen, while the mud was soft enough for me to leave my footprints.

After all this time, it seemed like the sun was setting, and to accommodate my mentally tired body, I decided to cut some trees; with a rapier.

"Goddamn it. I guess it would have been better to bring Skele along, but I think I'll be able to manage."

And with this, I began to chop a tree with Poise. However, the unprecedented had now happened, again.

As I was chopping the wood, a creature with similar features to a black panther appeared. However, this one was 20 times bigger than any black panther I had ever seen. And the worst situation arose. My rapier was now stuck in the tree.

The black panther growled as it looked at me, and I could see its giant fangs as it opened its mouth. In this time, I constantly tried to remove the rapier, but unfortunately, I was unsuccessful.

"Just get out already! F***! What do I do in this situation?!"

But before anything happened, a lion like creature, pounced at the panther's neck out of the large bushes.

The lion was almost the same size as the panther, which made me instinctively run back to the dungeon. My bones were shivering as I ran, and I just hoped to see this world thoroughly before I died, but beyond all expectations, I heard the voice when I needed it the most,

<You have slain a black panther.>

<You have slain a panthera lion.>

<Leveling up...>

<You are now level 12.>

I stopped in running right at that moment, and in a confused and disoriented manner, the words came out of my mouth, "What the heck?"

<Leveling up...>

<You are now level 13.>

Slowly, as the voice in my head spoke about the levels I had passed, in both and disbelief and utter confusion, I silently listened. And by the time it ended,

"I became a level 100 skeleton."

"But how?"
