Blood Assimilation

A few minutes ago.

At this time, Randy had just heard the explanation from the challenger's leveling system.

"I see… So, in other words, I just need to train my body and skills every time I level up? And then afterward, I get to keep all the attributes I acquired through leveling up as my own? Otherwise, it would simply disappear even though I would have to work hard to obtain them?" Randy nodded in understanding. 

"Okay, I understand, so can I go into that portal right now?" Randy asked in confirmation.

[[Affirmative]] The challenger's leveling system replied.

As soon as Randy heard its words, he steadily but slowly walked forward as he pondered to himself. 

'Based on what the challenger's leveling system said, one would lose their level or the system itself just from lazing around and not challenging the dungeons or without getting used to their strength and power. Now that I think about it... Is this perhaps what the old man was talking about when he explained to me about this world's leveling system? He had mentioned that there was a downside to leveling up in this world, which makes one lose their strength after a certain amount of time. However, I recall that he did not mention that one could keep their attributes simply by training their body and skills. I suppose he did not know about such information.' 

Randy had finally understood what the old man had talked about with him regarding the downside to this world's system of power and strength acquisition. 

However, he was still baffled by all these. He realized that even though one could easily obtain strength and power in this world, they would still be required to train their skills and body to get used to such strength and power obtained through leveling. 

According to what he understood, this world's method was essentially the same as his world's method of training and power acquisition with a slight twist. 

This world gave the people strength and power when they kill creatures in the specially created dungeons that somehow existed in this world, and his world, on the other hand, needed one to practice an energy gathering technique to increase one's strength. 

However, both worlds required one to train their skills and techniques to get used to their acquired strength and power. Otherwise, one would only end up getting killed despite having so much strength and power but lacking the experience to use it in combat or simply lack in body coordination due to the power being too strong.

As he concluded this to himself, he quickened his steps, and soon, he reached the end of the hallway and was about to enter the portal at this time. He had already wasted a few minutes with this new system and him pondering about its words afterward.

Right now, he could not wait to test out this world's method of acquiring strength and power as soon as possible. 

With that thought in mind, he took a step forward and attempted to enter the portal. However, at this moment, he was instantly bombarded with a series of notifications from both of his systems. This situation caused Randy to be startled from the two projected screens in front of his vision. 

With such a situation, he quickly stopped himself, and his movement came to a halt.

He then proceeded to stand there while looking into the void in front of himself, seemingly reading through the two projected screens in front of himself. 

[The Challenger's Quest have been created]

[Quest Description: Hunt down 10 Grey Wolves to increase your level for the first time. Subsequently, you can hunt down ten beast-type creatures with different levels on each floor to increase your level corresponding to their levels]

[Quest Reward: The furs and fangs of the hunted beasts. There is also a possibility of obtaining the mana core of the hunted beasts]

[Quest Penalty: None]

Randy read through the lines of white texts displayed in front of him on a blue screen on his left. This blue screen was the challenger's leveling system's screen display.

After reading through everything, Randy proceeded to look at the golden screen with white lines of text displayed on it.

[[Quest Function Triggered]]

[[Quest Description: Hunt down 1000 beasts in the dungeon of beasts to increase your power level]]

[[Quest Reward: A hint from the system on how to unseal one of the items that you have obtained recently]] 

[[Quest Failure: You lose a chance to obtain valuable information from the system]] 

[[Reminder: You could only hunt on the first five floors in this dungeon no more than two times to complete the quest. Furthermore, even if you hunt down more beasts on the first five floors than stated, it would not be accounted for by the system. However, you can hunt down the beasts in the remaining floors as many times as you want]]

"What? How many floors are there in this dungeon?" Randy asked.

[[There are only ten floors in this dungeon of beasts]] The system replied.

"Alright, I simply need to hunt the beast-type creatures in this dungeon, and I will get valuable information from you? Well, this is good too. As I was originally planning on hunting in this dungeon for a while to level up continuously as soon as possible. Not to mention, I am truly curious about this item of mine that you're talking about." Randy resolutely said in delight.

Although Randy had no idea what the system would help him unseal, he could think of a few items like the storage items that he took from the sunglasses man and his men with seals placed on them or the things acquired from the blonde man when he first came to this world.

As for the other quest from the challenger's leveling system, he ignored it. 

After all, this challenger's leveling system might have been adjusted for the people with slightly lower attributes at the beginning. However, Randy was different from those people, as he had another system of power acquisition, unlike people of this world, so he was naturally stronger at level 0.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the portal. And very quickly, he found himself in some forest. He proceeded to look around with caution, but it did not take him long to find his enemies.

[Discovered the appearance of Grey Wolves]

[Notice: Grey Wolves are level 1 beasts with strong fangs. Make sure you do not get bit by their fangs during hunting]

The challenger's leveling system announced to him the moment the grey wolves appeared from behind the trees in the forest while growling.

Randy ignored the challenger's leveling system's announcement and counted the number of wolves in his view, and luckily, there were only ten of them. Just the right amount he needed to level up.

"Well, this should be easy." Randy revealed a smile.

And then he quickly dashed forward and approached his targets without giving them the chance to react and sliced downwards with his rusty steel sword.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Bam! Bam! Bam! Slash! Bam!

The sound of a fist smashing against something and the cold lights of a sword flashing as it sliced through the grey wolves resounded in the background.

[You have successfully hunted and killed 10 Grey Wolves within a short amount of time]

[You have leveled up] 

[You are now level 1]

[All your attributes have increase by 2 points]

[Please check your challenger's attribute screen for further information regarding the increase in your level]

[Would you like to proceed to the next segment on this floor?]

"Yes.." Randy replied right away.
