07 Leveling with the White-Eyed Beauty
Mutated Black Goblin
In just ten minutes, Alex was able to eliminate the twenty mutated black goblins, earning a substantial amount of experience and leveling up twice.
LEVEL = 12
With his current agility, Alex managed to traverse ten kilometers by the end of the day, but unfortunately, after searching extensively, he could not find any more monsters.
The next day, Alex woke up extremely hungry and decided to search for food. He scavenged through all the buildings but found nothing; with no other choice, he had to feed on some plants he remembered from his original reality.
By the end of the day, after much searching, he finally spotted several monsters circling a building about two hundred bulky black goblins.
Knowing he could not take them all on at once, Alex decided to lure a small patrolling group. Using stones and subtle illusions, he drew them into a dead-end alley and quickly finished them off.
Using the same tactic, he managed to level up two more times.
Then, the bulky black goblins noticed the absence of some patrol guards and sounded the drums to search for irregularities. Relying on his agility and light gravitational control, Alex managed to slip inside the building undetected.

With the update to his stats, Alex felt his combat power increase drastically. He wondered just how strong he was compared to the other hunters and eagerly awaited the end of the time limit so he could return to reality and test his abilities.
Congratulations! You have discovered a weapons laboratory.
You have gained 30 points to distribute freely.
Upon entering the location, the system notified him of a discovery followed by a reward. Alex was immensely pleased who would have thought such a good reward would come simply from discovering the laboratory?
Looking around, Alex saw the remains of a destroyed lab. On the second floor, the destruction was less severe; it resembled a medical wing of a hospital, with several old beds containing decomposed bones.
Examining the skeletons on the beds, they did not appear to be human. Their skulls were elongated and pointed, and the lengths of their arms and legs deviated from human proportions, both in length and curvature.
Despite the degradation around him, there were two doors that appeared intact, seemingly part of some type of elevator. Approaching the first door, there was no response and no way to open it.
The second door was different. A holographic screen appeared before Alex, displaying some information:
Initiating scanner.
Unregistered individual.
Individual not qualified to proceed.
Would you like to obtain the qualifications through the test?
Yes/No
Considering his experience in the Minotaur temple, Alex was apprehensive about proceeding with this test. However, the prospect of becoming stronger excited him greatlyf discovering this place had already rewarded him so much, what would passing its test bring?
Taking a deep breath, his fingers clicked Yes.
Moving the individual to the first test zone…
Alex's body was enveloped in a glow as he disappeared.
The room resembled an ancient dungeon, completely empty. Torches embedded in the walls illuminated the space, and circular pillars, wide enough to fit three adults, held the ceiling firmly.
Statues of gargoyles and chimeras were scattered everywhere. At the far end, a golden door adorned with countless unknown symbols could be seen.
As Alex appeared in the vast hall, the crystalline coffin that had rested for countless years opened, its lid flying up and hitting the ceiling.
Alex gripped his weapon and prepared for combat. A delicate hand, white as jade, rose, followed by a charming face. The female figure emerged from the crystalline coffin.
The woman did not seem to belong to this world. She was completely nude, with no clothing covering her majestic body.
Her white hair trailed to the floor as she moved. With each step, her full breasts swayed naturally, obeying the laws of physics. Her beautiful, expressionless face made her seem mysterious, and her eyes were the same snowy white as her hair.
Her long, firm thighs made anyone question whether she was truly real.
When Alex was lost in such beauty and his thoughts ran wild, the woman shrouded herself in white bolts of electricity. Before anyone could even breathe, she appeared behind Alex and struck with the softness of a feather.
Beng
Alex was dazed as he collided with one of the hall's pillars. Before he could recover properly, the woman appeared again, delivering another strike with her slender, graceful legs. Even though Alex wanted to linger a moment longer, admiring the sight, he had no choice but to dodge.
With a thunderous crash reverberating through the hall, the pillar Alex had been leaning against was shattered by her kick.
Not giving him a moment's rest, she attacked again, her beautiful breasts swaying with an artistic rhythm. Alex imbued his gravitational power into his sword to defend himself.
He stepped back under the force of the impact, as the woman's delicate jade-like hands elongated, transforming into a blade crackling with white lightning.
She moved in an unusual pattern at a staggering speed, covering Alex's blind spots. Every time she did, he was hit. Even with his high agility, Alex struggled to keep up with her movements.
All he could do was watch his HP decrease as he fought to defend himself. Then he remembered something. Summoning all his strength and determination, he managed to create some distance between himself and the woman.

Alex's body was enveloped in a purple aura, dramatically increasing his power with the allocation of the 30 points he had recently gained upon discovering the laboratory.
Seeing the growing power radiating from Alex's body, the woman finally showed a reaction.
With his body and eyes emanating a dense purple light, Alex moved like a flash. With his enhanced agility and control over his gravitational power, he could now move many times faster.
Clang
The sword and the blade-formed arm collided violently, creating a fracture in the stone floor. This time, Alex was neither pushed back nor felt the recoil from the shock.
Now that his Basic Swordsmanship had reached level 9, his technique was more refined, granting him greater flexibility and even more precise control. He could now sense and see the openings his opponent left during their clashes.
Two beams of purple and white light collided at a staggering speed. Overall, his strength totaled 20 points, amplified by gravitational power. Each strike of his sword, reinforced by Basic Swordsmanship, exerted immense pressure.
The floor was shattering under the impact of their blows. The longer the battle continued, the more polished Alex's abilities became. His level 9 swordsmanship, combined with his gravitational control and agility, kept improving steadily.
