[ Rewards: ???,???,??? ]

' I don't think I'll finish these in a day.' I thought as I was overwhelmed by the sheer quests. 

' It's probably from the levels I traveled, and if so, where is the one with Orcs?' 

" Maybe it's because I haven't explored the tenth floor to the fullest." I thought before shaking the idea off. 

" Probably just a limit of quest I can have active at a time." I nodded as that sounded plausible.

I was in the seventh floor hunting blue papilio. 

It seems the system recognized this problem as it would reward me something if I could clear this.

I stopped hunting from the shadows and started using the sword for faster kills. 

I ignored their attempts to counter as I took it head on or blocked it with the help of my gauntlets. 

There were goblins and Kobolds in every corner as I tried to find a blue papilio. 

And it seemed I was lucky and unlucky as I had to fight hordes of monsters to reach the blue papilio. 

My stamina was running out along with my health as it was being chipped away. 

My swordmanship was sharpening, yet it felt it was blocked by something I didn't know. 

I think it was the sword. I didn't feel right in my hand anymore as I swung it. 

It felt forced. 

* Thud! * 

" Ha...ha....huff!" I gasped for air as I stabbed the blue papilio to the ground as it disappeared, dropping its crystal and wing. 

I took it and sat down and dragged myself against the wall. 

It was suicidal to rest like this in the dungeon, but I was too tired to give a damn. 

I lost too many throwing knives because of the blue papilio as it kept dodging or I was interrupted during the throw. 

' A resting place... if I remember correctly, they said there was a safe zone called Riviria. Maybe I should create a safe zone that protects adventures when they're tired or cornered.' 

' Yeah... a small safe zone that holds potions for healing or supplies that could help new adventures as well... an adventurer rookie pack where they don't need to buy supplies if they could be handed out for newbies.' 

My ideas flooded in as I rested against the wall. 

My ear twitched as I heard sounds coming my way. 

' Ants...4...7 of them.' I sighed as I stood up, ready to fight once more. 

A few hours later.... 

I walked out of the dungeon, tired and hungry, as I walked to the guild to exchange my crystals and items before heading towards the Zeus Familia Mansion. 

I walked in to see Zald cooking breakfast as he saw me enter from across the room. 

" Yuto, eat." He spoke. 

I nodded as I at the table as Zald out a plate in front of me. 

It was bugs with acidic blood and poisonous leaves. 

' How come I didn't receive a skill that nullifies poison?' I thought to myself as I started eating. 

[ Ding! Debuff! ]

[ -4 hp/s ]

[ Ding! Through repetitive actions, you have unlocked a new skill!! ]

[ Poison Immunity lvl 1 ]

[ -2 hp/s ]

My mouth was filled with poisonous leaves as I turned to Nimriel, who smelled like flowers. 

' He must've used a bucket to get rid of the Orc stench.' I chuckled as Nimreil spoke.

" Classes will begin early after breakfast." He spoke as I nodded in return as I accepted my cruel fate. 

After breakfast, I was sitting in front of canvas as I held a brush. 

" Now use blue mixed with red, which will create purple. "

" The fuck is blue?" I spoke. 

I knew what color he was talking about but I was just fucking around. 

I could feel Nimriel's stare as I smiled innocently. 

" We went over this the other day, didn't we? So I know for a fact you know what is blue." He replied.

I clicked my tongue as I used my sense of smell and touch as I mixed colors to make purple. 

Nimriel began to explain more about color theory as I sat their mixing paint and brushed the canvas. 

I'm sure it looked like shit but I was just using my imagination and picturing it in my head. 

Time passed as I finished class for the day. 

" Hm hm." Nimriel nodded as he looked at my painting. 

" Better than last time, excellent work Yuto. Now off you go." 

I hurriedly took off as I went to my workshop as I began making more throwing knives and potions. 

I found myself humming as I hammered away at a hot iron. 

" Yuto." I heard Zald's voice I put the iron back into the furnace before turning to Zald. 

" Hm?" 

" Your sword looks a bit worn out. I think it's best you get a better one. Especially with all the items that dropped in your raid." Zald spoke as I thought of something. 

I wasn't a sword expert as I mostly use guns but swords wasn't my thing so I thought to asked someone who has more experience with it. 

" That reminds me... I think I need a change of sword. The feeling of this feels weird to me." I spoke as I picked pointed at my sword leaning on the table. 

" Hmm, maybe that's because you have gotten over the basics. Which means you need a sword that suits your fighting style and talent." He replied as I nodded. 

" Soooo.... we gonna buy a new sword?" I asked. 

" Yes." He replied. 

I sighed as I turned off the furnace and taking the hit iron out to cool. 

" Alright. Where to?" I spoke as I changes my shirt.

" To the Hephaestus Familia."
