Can there be too much? Nope.

"Yep. I managed to clear the Dump - the world's hardest known dungeon. Though there a probably dungeons harder than this one, just not ones which are publically known." I started having slight troubles speaking.

The two men looked at each other with disappointed faces.

"Was I not meant to do that or something? *Cough*" Yeah, I was not gonna last much longer in here. I could feel signs of damage already.

"Nevermind. I'm gonna die if I don't wake up soon, so I have to leave you guys for the time being. Next time I get knocked out, I'll pay you a visit." I waved my hand headed towards the door.

"Should I tell him?" The bald man whispered to the other one.

"Let him find out on his own. Hey, you! Your name's River, right? Let us know how the title award went, okay?" What's this all about?

"I.. Will. Sorry, I don't have any more time left." I pushed the door opened and flew out of the room.

I see it. The door to my consciousness is just 100 meters away.

I opened the door as fast as I could and entered my body.

~~~

"Haaa, Haaa." I woke up and started gulping air.

"Oh, you're awake! I thought you were gonna die here. I even prepared some roots to connect to Tetra in case you couldn't make it." I forgot about her. The Queen bee has to listen to all of mine and Blood's command, so he was gonna use her if I died.

"What a jerk. You see your friend dying and you instantly find someone else to leech off. Anyways, why am I in such a bad state? Did something happen while I was down?" I looked around but didn't see any signs of a fight, plus these guys are strong enough to fend for themselves if need be.

"So you don't know? You started spewing all of your mana out, and since you were already unconscious, I thought you'd never wake up. Even now, I can't sense a single bit of mana in your body." Oh, that must be because of my new race - Weak Shade.

"Okay." What are my new abilities, then?

I thought about calling the status, and the bracelet summoned it for me.

Hmm. Before testing anything out, there are a few things I've noticed. Firstly - I don't have any mana, just as expected. Instead, I have white and black spawns, whatever that means. Also, all of my skill points have been reset, so I get to apply them again.

And most importantly.

"My level is.. slightly high." I showed Blood my level.

"Is this a bug or something?"

"Nope. That's my level. More than 800 thousand levels. Aren't I pretty strong right now?" I was playing dumb. In reality, I knew my level was higher than any creature on this planet should possibly have.

Of course, I'm not complaining. This was my hard-earned reward, after all. Well, there is actually another reward waiting for me on floor 10, if what those guys in my head told me is true.

I wasn't jumping in excitement either. I expected this much from killing the strongest Boss in the Dump so many times.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still very excited about it, but I'd rather keep enjoyment to myself.

Why didn't the goat head reply to me? Oh, he's asleep. He goes to sleep whenever he wants to have some time to think about stuff, so I'll let him be.

~~~

Now, about my point distribution. Instead of manually putting points into my skills, I'm gonna one of the bracelet's special abilities, [automatic point distribution]. I just have to select the percentage of points which will go into each one of my stats, and it will automatically do it for me.

First on the list is intelligence. I really don't need more than 10 percent of my points in it, since upgrading the stat further just increases the range of all intelligence-related abilities, like mana detection. Plus, it was already a ton at 1000 points.

{Intelligence: 10%

Agility and Strength are next. I like to level them equally, as they work together quite nicely. They're the most important part of my build, so I want a large portion of my stats invested into them.

{Agility: 30%

{Strength: 30%

As for the last two, - movement speed and stamina - I'm just gonna equally spread the rest of the points into them. Stamina is obvious since I want to be able to endure long fight without any issues, and movement speed is what makes agility so good in the first place.

{MovementSpeed: 15%

{Stamina: 15%

"Shall we head to the next floor, then?" Tetra suddenly asked.

"Yeah, why not. I'm done with the important stuff, and plus this floor isn't spacious enough for me to test my new abilities anyway." And with that, we headed up.
