Blood Assimilation

After Randy read through lines of texts about the description of the innate skills awakened by the challenger's system, he turned his gaze away shortly after dismissing the projected screen in front of him.

At this point, he had already memorized the details of these newly acquired skills, and so, he could now focus on training his swordsmanship skill, which he might need in the upcoming floors in this dungeon of beasts.

With that thought in mind, Randy proceeded to practice swinging his steel sword for a few hours inside the safe room.

Although he had no idea how much time had gone by specifically, he could still tell that about a few hours had gone by when he finished with sword practice.

"Phew... Thankfully, I wasn't able to get tired while in this space. Otherwise, most likely, I would've had to stay here for a few more hours to rest, considering how long I've been swinging this steel sword. Still, the skill system in this world is quite easier compared to my world. Then again, both worlds have pros and cons, which made them different and similar at the same time. Anyway, I guess it's about time, I move on to the next floor." Randy muttered to himself Afterward.

At this point, Randy felt disappointed as he wished that this safe room had the graviton function, which would allow him to train his body by increasing the weight inside this safe room, and perhaps, he might even break through physical limits if he trained using that method.

The main reason why he thought of this was that there was a possibility that he could expedite the process of absorbing his physical attributes with intense training.

But sadly, that was not possible in this space.

Although he could do push up and one handstand in this place, he would instantly recover, so he could not make use of this room's effects. Thus, he ended up giving up on that method of expediating his attribute absorption.

After finding out that he could not train his physical body in this safe room, Randy decided to train his swordsmanship skill instead.

At this moment, he suddenly called out: "Attribute screen."

'Just like I thought, there's no chance in my attributes at all despite my training with the sword. Then do I have to do a more rigorous training to assimilate with my attributes?' Randy thought when he noticed that nothing had changed in attribute besides the extra skills that had been added.

"Well, I still have time. Maybe by the time I complete the quest, some of my attributes would be assimilated into my body." Randy said in conclusion.

At this moment, he was about to urge the system that he was ready to leave, but when he saw his hand, he suddenly remembered: " Ah, I almost forget, I should undo this ancestral form. It feels kind of strange to be in this form, and besides, I have already grasped his beginner swordsmanship skill completely during these few hours, so I don't need to maintain his form anymore."

[[Ancestral Regression Skill Deactivated]]

Randy immediately undid his ancestral skill and quickly regained his original form shortly after. After regaining his original human form, he checked to see if there were any permanent changes to his body, but unsurprisingly or expectedly, nothing had changed about his original appearance.

With that settled, Randy sat back down and took out some dried meat and chew on it, and then drank a mouthful of water shortly to quench his thirst. Even though he was not particularly tired after training his swordsmanship, he still felt thirsty after that rigorous swinging of his sword.

After taking a few minutes to eat his fill of food and drinking some water from a bottle that he brought from his world, Randy felt satisfied and energetic.

Although the food was bland with almost no taste to them since they were more of a ration rather than actual food, Randy still enjoyed it because it was better than nothing at this point.

At this time, he was truly ready to move on to the next floor, and without wasting any more time, he stood up from the ground and declared.

"Challenger's system, I'm ready to move on to the next floor." He said.

[Understood] The challenger's system responded.

Soon after, a black portal that exuded the presence of a wild forest behind it silently appeared on the wall of the safe room.

The challenger's system proceeded to announce after the portal appeared.

[The user only needed to pass through the teleportation gate in front of you to move on to the next floor]

Randy did not hesitate and proceeded to walk through the black gate right away.

On the other side, he found himself inside the forest from before, except that he seemed like he was not in the section of the forest anymore.

'Where are the beasts for this floor?' Randy wondered.

However, while he was thinking this, he suddenly detected a creature within his skill's range.

That was because when he came here, he did not waste any time to activate his newly acquired skill, Dimensional Sense.

This skill essentially allowed him to project his mental energy outward to create a dimension of influence. Although it was not an actual dimension of a world, it was still an area that would be completely under his supervision.

However, with this skill, any being that entered his skill's range which at the moment was only 10 meters around himself, Randy could perceive their existence.

At this moment, Randy observed the incoming enemy, but he was slightly surprised that it was not a wolf this time. Although he expected that to be the case, considering that this was a dungeon infested with beast-type creatures. In other words, there was no way for the dungeon to only have wolves as its inhabitants.

The only reason why he thought there would be wolves in the second was that this forest was similar to the one on the first floor, but there was also a difference, so perhaps it might be a different forest altogether.

[Discovered the appearance of Grey Boar]

The challenger's system announced a moment later.
