Chapter 7:

INSTANT DUNGEON , STAT POINT DISTRIBUTION AND PRACTICE

The Sea God's Rise: Conquering a World of Magic and Faith


The signal from the system jolted me awake. I glanced at the screen while still dozing off, as if noticing my laziness, the system informed me that a random chest had appeared on the deck. Despite my initial reluctance, I forced myself to get out of bed and make my way to the deck.

As soon as I stepped onto the deck, I saw it. A golden chest, glittering in the morning sun I approached it with a mixture of excitement and apprehension, and as soon as I touched it, a notification appeared on the holographic screen.

[ONE GOLD CHEST OPENED: 1 INSTANT DUNGEON AWARDED]

My heart raced as I read the words; this was my ticket to fulfilling the quest that the system had assigned me, which was to level up to level 5.

Even fate appears to be bowing to my will, or so I hope, because thinking that the system could sync the timing of the quest with the appearance of the chest would make me feel like a pawn in a game I don't understand.

I eagerly grabbed the dungeon card and couldn't resist letting out a triumphant cheer. (which I later realized was very embarrassing), I quickly washed my face and tidied myself up, eager to begin this new adventure.

I sat down and opened my status to allocate my stat points. I pondered for a moment and allocated 5 points to my mana, 3 to my strength, 1 to my luck, 2 to my intelligence, and 1 to my agility. Then my stats looked like this:

INVENTORY:[1* instant dungeon card] ]

Looking at my stats and feeling the increase of concentration and strength in my body, I was overjoyed and wanted to take out an instant dungeon card and rush inside to level up like the hero of a novel would do, but he restrained himself to why it was because he had not mastered the proper usage of his skills yet and adjusted his body to increase in strength. After my quick thought process ended, I stood up and said, "Bone arrow."

I quickly closed my eyes to feel the flow of mana and answer the question in my heart as to where it originated from. The route it takes?

The flow was unique as it started from beneath my heart and travelled towards my arms through a special path that I could not decipher.

The entire process took less than 2 seconds, then I opened my eyes when I felt the mana flow stop, only to see a bone arrow hovering on the side waiting for my order, to pierce someone's heart but I grabbed it instead, recalling the moment in battle when I had made a katana from a bone arrow as he did it unconsciously; no skill related to it appeared, but I could still vaguely feel that I had used mana to alter the structure of the arrow.

As i was thinking i let the mana flow into the arrow next moment a crisp sound was heard and boom arrow shattered opening my eyes and seeing the shattered arrow i could only helplessly say

"This will take some time."
