(Cortana What time is it?)
{It's 9:00 a.m. Steven}
(Thanks Cortana)
After breakfast with dad I helped him a little with the car wash and after that I spent time with the gems.
When night came and I made sure that dad was asleep I went to the beach again.
Steven: Let's see, Cortana, do you know what new monster is in the dungeon?
{That will have to be discovered by yourself Steven, I have no information other than what is provided by the bestiary at this time}
Steven: Too bad, well, create dungeon!
Once again the whole world began to spin, the sky turned red and the moment it stopped spinning I was back in the forest.
("Equipment")
[Necklace, this necklace multiplies the mana recovery by x3 while the host is wearing it]
[Throwing Knives (Weapon), Throwing knives that deal 50 damage, generate bleeding that weakens your opponent's health for 3 minutes. You can use potions to give them additional effects.] [X1]
[Dark Robe (Armor/Clothing), +50 resistance attribute, increases stealth]
[Dark Pants (Armor/Clothing), +25 to resistance, speed and agility attributes]
[Katana (Weapon): A white weapon of Japanese origin, similar to a sword, with a single edge and somewhat curved, generating damage depending on the mana that influences the katana. You can use potions to give them additional effects.]
I won't use the katana in combat yet but I want to know what it looks like. In his hand he had a katana, the sheath was black, but it was painted with leaves of the sakura tree, the handle was black but with pink details; When I unsheathed the katana I noticed that the edge is black, but the blade of the katana was opaque pink; Finally, when I looked at the endpaper I noticed 4 rhombuses, each of different colors such as blue, yellow, white and hot pink. The sheath also had a belt to hold it.
Steven: The diamond symbol again? It's strange.
(A/N: I hope I did a good job describing the katana)
Before continuing to think about that, I heard sounds of footsteps approaching my direction, slipping my belt with sheath into my dark pants, and I took out my trusty throwing knives.
As I got closer I could see a skeleton.
("Notice")

{Other data is not yet available, it is recommended to level up the "Observe" skill}
(So a skeleton, I was expecting something better but now that I see it I get more data when using my "Observe" skill.)
Before I could continue thinking a bone was thrown at my face that I narrowly missed.
Steven: Not to the face. (I said it angry)
To my surprise I noticed that the bones he throws at me form in his hands instead of those of his body.
Forming a shield on my right arm I begin to block the bones he throws at me.
Steven: If he attacks from long range then it is better to attack him in melee.
Dodging the bones he throws at me since it is not necessary to block him, I get close enough to hit him in the face but surprisingly he dodges the blow and throws a punch at my face which he dodges, tilting his head slightly and taking advantage of the distance to hit his jaw with my shield, at the moment of being hit a crack is heard because his jaw was cracked and due to the force of the blow he is knocked down, taking advantage of the opportunity, I threw myself on him, stabbing my knives into his skull, which causes it to crack until it explodes and with it his entire body.
[+70 experience]
[+$25 dollars]
Steven: Ufff well apparently he knows how to throw a few punches, but nothing out of this world.
After a while of fighting a few skeletons.
[It has been detected that the host has killed enough skeletons (10), the dungeon will spawn a new type of monster tomorrow]
Steven: I wonder what monster will appear tomorrow this time.
After walking for about 5 minutes a slime appeared again.
(Wait if now my "Observe" skill leveled up it should tell me more information)
("Notice")
[Name: N/A]
[Race: Blue Slime]

{Other data is not yet available, it is recommended to level up the "Observe" skill}
(Just as I thought, now I have more information about slime)
Throwing my throwing knife at the slime that is barely avoiding it, it launches itself directly towards me, dodging the attack, moving to the side, I run towards my knife that I threw, once again in my hand I wait for the slime to attack me to block it with my shield, taking advantage of the momentum. I throw the slime into the air. Taking advantage of this, I throw my knife again, piercing the slime that disappears in the air. Finally, while the knife falls, I manage to catch it in time before it falls to the ground.
[+50 experience]
[+$25 dollars]
Steven: Keep leveling up.
Everything is going well I even received a message from the "System" that said
[Congratulations, you have leveled up to Level 7!]
But something strange that happened was that…
[The host has unlocked the first step to fight the final boss of this dungeon. He has killed enough slimes (25), the slimes will no longer give experience but will continue to generate money.]
Steven: Then I can only farm money.
When I killed another slime I realized that if it only gave me money, this, although it can be considered something bad, I leveled up once so it's not bad.
[New title obtained]
["Slime Hunter" (After some time hunting slimes you have become quite an expert. When fighting slime-type monsters your statistics will increase by 40%)]
Steven: Wow, a new "Title" I didn't expect, with this hunting slimes will be easier I wonder what new "Title" I will get in the future. I'll leave it for today, I don't have to always strive to level up for now.
(You don't believe it Cortana)
{Whatever you think Steven}
(I'll take that as a yes)
Steven: "Exit the dungeon"
After saying that the world began to spin again, the previously red sky returned to a starry black, and I was back on the beach.
Steven: Let's go to sleep.
(Not if I first take off everything I'm wearing)
The next morning after helping again at the car wash I went to the temple hill, and tried to obtain some skills for daily use such as not knowing how to cook or things like that although I have not been successful but well sometimes I try to meditate to see if I can obtain the ability and see what it gives me although I haven't had any luck.
While I was trying to meditate I heard someone approaching. When I turned around I could see...
Steven: Garnet, what are you doing here?
Garnet: Something was telling me that you need my help.
When he told me this, he sat next to me with his legs crossed.
Steven: Well I've been practicing meditation, they say it's good for concentrating and all that.
I lied since it's not like I could tell him that it's to see if I can obtain those kinds of abilities that appear in the fanfics of my world.
Garnet: I see... Do you want me to show you how to do it?
Steven: Yes, please. (I said it with a smile)
Garnet: First of all, let your mind pay attention or focus on your mind, thought or activity in particular, to train attention and awareness, and thereby achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. (While he was telling me that he straightened his back and looked towards the horizon)
Imitating what he was doing I cleared my mind and focused on the now.
(A/N: What a thought, more Zen XV)
[New skill obtained]
[Meditate (Acquired), technique used to find inner peace, analyze complicated situations, as mental training, or simply pass the time and be spiritually well. Level 1. (Increases life and mana recovery rate by 10%)]
(I thought I would get something else but hey I'm not complaining all skills are useful)
[New skill obtained]
[Perception (Acquired), the host can find hidden objects such as traps, secret doors, can also determine how far away an enemy is. Level 1. (Detection range is 10 meters)]
(This will be very useful)
After a while of meditating, it was night when I made sure that dad was asleep I returned to the dungeon.
Steven: Create dungeon!
After equipping myself with what I had yesterday, I started walking through the forest but I could hear a howl near me.
Before I could take another step, a gray wolf pounced on me, before it could bite me I jumped back with knives in hand.
("Notice")
[Name: N/A]
[Race: Gray Wolf]
[Level: 7]
[Life: 700]
[Mana: 100]
[Agility: 35]
[Speed: 45]
[Stamina: 45]
[Description: The gray wolf is a highly aggressive monster. They move at high speed and are very agile. They usually hunt in packs.]
{Other data is not yet available, it is recommended to level up the "Observe" skill}
(It has very little mana but has a lot of life, plus it is quite fast and agile as the "System" says)
The moment I finish thinking that, the wolf howls and then runs towards me, narrowly avoiding it by jumping to the side.
Steven: Let's see what you think of this.
Running at my maximum speed, I get behind the wolf to cut him with my knife, but as if the wolf realized it, he runs a good distance away from where I am. Upon realizing this, I change my intention by throwing my knife at him, but he narrowly avoids it. .
Steven: At this rate I won't win.
(Throwing knives are better for melee attacks but at this speed I won't be able to cut him with my knife... I have it)
Throwing my other knife to get the wolf a little further away from me, he pulled the katana out of its sheath, infusing a bit of my mana to do so.
[Katana +175 damage]
[-175 mana]
(This will be enough)
Resuming the fight as the wolf pounces on me, I take advantage of his momentum to slash him in the snout to cut his head in half, before he can touch his body and the ground disappears.
[+60 experience]
[+25 dollars]
Steven: That was close.
(Wait the description says they hunt in packs so "Perception")
{5 wolves have been detected within a 5 meter radius and are approaching}
(This will be more complicated than I thought)
A few hours later
(God I have already killed like 10 of them and also 15 skeletons it seems like they have become more violent than at the beginning)
[The host has unlocked the second step to fight the final boss of this dungeon. He has killed enough skeletons (25), the skeletons will no longer give experience but will continue to generate money.]
[New title obtained]
["Skeleton Hunter" (After some time hunting skeletons you have become quite an expert. When fighting slime-type monsters your statistics will increase by 40%)]
[New title obtained]
["Wolf Hunter" (After some time hunting Wolves you have become quite an expert. When fighting against Wolf type monsters your statistics will increase by 40%)]
[Congratulations, you have leveled up to Level 8!]
(Now I have 2 new "Titles" and I rose to level 8, not bad right Cortana)
{That's right Steven}
(Sometimes you look like a robot and other times you seem full of life, I wonder why?)
{No comment}
(I don't know if it was sarcasm or what the hell)
Steven: If I'm right, after killing about 15 more wolves, I'll be able to fight the final boss of the dungeon.
(Here we go)
One kill later (x_x)
[The host has unlocked the third and final step to fight the final boss of this dungeon. He has killed enough wolves (25), the wolves will no longer give experience but will continue to generate money.]
[Generating final boss]
[Want to fight now or later]
(Later, it will be better not to fight hastily)
Steven: "Exit the dungeon"
I went back to sleep in dad's truck and decided to prepare myself for the boss since he would be crazy if he threw me like that like crazy.
(First, the equipment I should wear, the tunic and the dark pants should be fine, I'll also take the necklace, I'll bring the dagger just in case, why not try the wooden boomerang while we're at it and even if I wanted to take the throwing knives I would It would be better to carry the katana although it does not generate any negative status... wait, I have it)

Later at night
Steven: Create dungeon!
Once again the whole world began to spin, the sky turned red and the moment it stopped spinning I was back in the forest.
("Equipment")
[Wooden Boomerang (Weapon), wooden boomerang that deals 25 damage, but when thrown it generates a small whirlwind that deals 15 damage when hitting the target]

First I unsheathed my katana giving him some of my mana again.
[Katana +200 damage]
[-200 mana]
(If it needs to do more damage I will give it more mana later during the fight)
Taking out the bleeding and poison potions from my "Inventory".
(Cortana can you remind me how to give the effect of potions to weapons?)
{Answer: To imbue the effect of the potion into the weapon you must pour the contents of it, the effects given will only last as long as the potion lasts}
(Good)
{Would you like me to do it for you, Steven?}
(Can you do that for me?!)
{If you want}
(Yes please Cortana)
After that the contents of the potions disappeared and a message appeared in front of me.
[Katana +Poison +Bleed for 10 minutes]
(With this you should be able to do it)
[Want to fight the final boss now or later]
Steven: I want to fight the final boss now.
[Final boss appearing]
The next moment I heard something coming out of the bushes, gripping my katana tightly I couldn't help but wonder what kind of final boss I would face.
(Cortana let me know if something is wrong)
{Understood Steven}
But coming out of the bushes appeared a slime with a crown on its head.
(…)
{…}
Steven: Is this the final boss? (I said a little confused)
{Steven, at least 400 presences are detected approaching!)
Steven: What?
A bunch of slimes appeared and threw themselves into the crown slime, resolving and gathering together, becoming bigger and bigger. Until they all came together into a single giant slime.

[Mana: 2,000]
[Agility: 25]
[Speed: 30]

[Description: The slime king is a boss that represents the king of slimes. He is considered the easiest boss. He is immune to level 2 poisoning. He jumps towards the player. Every 3 jumps, he makes one higher.
As he loses life he becomes smaller and faster and summons blue slimes.]
(Lucky I have level 3 poisoning)
(Any advice Cortana)
{Do not die}
(Thanks for the advice)
I said it rolling my eyes.
(Let's see what you're made of)
Running towards him I gave about 3 cuts to his body, the next moment they regenerated, but the Slime King responded by jumping towards me, before I could be crushed I made a big jump back and then ran to his side and gave him a few more cuts. After being like this for a while I saw how the Slime King began to shrink but I realized that he had become a little faster, taking me a little by surprise I saw how he began to spit slimes from his body towards me, easily managing to dodge the slimes that I threw at me, some of them were not destroyed by the impact with the ground, so using my boomerang to finish them off and if they managed to survive, the tornado struck them down. I managed to weaken him until he was the size of a normal slime of course that kept his crown but he was much faster compared to the beginning and the normal slimes so much that he looked like a blur but luckily I could keep up with him.
Steven: I don't know how much time has passed here but it feels like it's been hours.
(If I don't finish soon dad will worry about where I've been)
Being fed up with how things were going I decided to make a risky move, leaving an opening for the slime king to hit me. I would take the opportunity to hit him with my sword. The problem was that if I wasn't fast enough he would give me a good hit. Fortunately, my plan worked and at the end Having nailed the slime king, I cut him in half, making him disappear, leaving only his crown.
Steven: It worked!
[1,000 experience]
[+1,000 dollars]
(That's a lot)
[Congratulations, you have leveled up to Level 9!]
["You have completed the mission"]
[Mission Kill your first final boss]
[Description: It is the first time that when entering a dungeon you fight against a final boss to celebrate killing the monster]
[Rewards]
[New skill: "Monster Tamer"]
[Summoning Stone of the ???]
[New system function]
[Skill "Monster Tamer", the tamer can control the monsters that he manages to turn into allies, these are not always mere weapons but they can help in many alternative ways, he can capture monsters and use them in battle, he supports not only in battle and possible supporting role with certain monsters. Some monsters come in summoning crystals. Level 1. (10% chance to tame a wild monster, monsters summoned by summoning crystals are 100%)
(A good skill)
After reading the notification I realized that the slime king's crown turned into a rhombus-shaped stone, the stone looked like light blue crystal.
[Slime King Summoning Stone, allows you to summon the Slime King into battle.
(Cortana, is there anything else, what can you say about this?)
{If there is, summoning monsters, unlike a video game where you have to work hard to level up, their level will be directly related to that of the summoner}
(That means that?)
{The monster's level is the same as yours Steven and they will continue to rise the higher your level is)
(Wow, I don't know if it's an advantage or disadvantage honestly)
[New "System" function...]
(This is…)
(N/A: Well that's it for the chapter. What function will be the one that unlocked the "System"? What will become of our protagonist? and most importantly, when will he get his harem? Well, that's it and more questions will be answered in the next chapter so don't miss it. Joking aside, sorry for the delay in uploading the chapter, originally this chapter should have been uploaded last week but you've heard the saying the world will always punch you, well guess who punched you? a kick in the balls, fortunately I was able to get up from that and hit him back but God well bygones are bygones. One more thing I read in my previous chapter that bothered you a lot that I re-wrote Steven's "Status" update quite a bit in a single chapter so it will not be so frequent and will be replaced with notifications of level ups and new skills, although I may have to write the "Status" due to script needs XD but I will try to make sure they are not so frequent. Well fanfictero101 says goodbye, thanks for reading.)
