Chapter 5 Estimated Rank: D

nSnow Girl ★
nClass Up Requirements.
n- Conquer E Rank Dungeon Solo
n- D rank Mana Stone
n✔ 100 INT
n
"Conquer E rank Dungeon Solo? So that confirms my hypothesis. I won't die if the Dungeon Resets.
" Shiro said with a small smile after reading the requirements.
nWalking calmly towards the obelisk, Shiro killed any Bears that tried to attack her.
nThere was a small benefit to trying to level up even though she reached LVL 20. She'll still get points per level, but it wouldn't be as much compared to the point bonus after Class Up.
nRight now, she'll get 5 points per pseudo level up. But if she levelled up after Class Up, she'll get 20 points instead.
nEach level after Class Up is equivalent to four pseudo level ups. However, the exp needed to level up would still be the same. Therefore, it is always advised for people to aim for Class Up.
n
nA consequence of not Classing Up would be needing several times the amount of exp compared to others when levelling up from 21 to 22.
nThis is due to the fact that the person would have acc.u.mulated several pseudo levels thus increasing the amount of exp needed.
nAs if understanding the danger Shiro possessed, the Bears started to back away while she walked calmly towards the Leader Class without any hindrances.
n
"Hey there big guy. Remember me?
" Shiro said looking at the hulking 3 meter Bear in front of her.
nFire Spirit Infused Bear LVL 20 – Leader Class – Empowered
nThe bear had experienced quite a few changes of his own as he had little to no fat on his body. His muscles were chiselled which served to make him more menacing.
nWhat was Ice on his back now became a column of fire raging to the beat of his heart. His eyes glowed a menacing red as he focused on the tiny Snow Girl who stood in front of him.
n
"Wow~ You've been juicing up lately huh? I can barely see a scrap of fat on you.
" Shiro said holding her chin.
nThe Bear swiped his right paw towards her as Shiro smiled.
n
nJumping up, she landed on the top of the paw softly.
nRunning up the arm of the Bear, Shiro created a dagger in her hands.
nMP: 3550
/4550
nReaching near the head of the Bear, Shiro's eyes became cold as she plunged the dagger towards the eye.
nThe Bear tilted his head to avoid the dagger while he swiped his other paw at her.
nBefore the paw could build up any momentum, Shiro had already frozen a scaffold-like structure on the Bear's body stopping the paw.
n
"Come on~ Do you really expect me to let you hit me with that paw of yours? My frail body can't handle it ya know.
" Shiro grinned as her dagger destroyed the Bear's right eye.
nExhibiting great flexibility, Shiro stepped on the back of the dagger and kicked as hard as she could.
nThe force sent her through the air, but she landed softly with a smile.
n
nFire Spirit Blessing Activated – For the next 20 seconds you will gain a 20% increase to magic damage and 20% increase to Fire damage.
nClutching her hand, Shiro caused the dagger to blow up with all of the stored MP.
n*BOOMMMMM!!!
nThe resulting explosion caused the ground to rumble as Shiro stumbled. Restabilising herself, she looked the head of the Bear.
n
"Ouch.
" Shiro muttered unconsciously since she could see parts of the Bear's skull. The muscle fibres were pulsing as they tried to join back together but failed.
n*WRRAAAANNNN!!!!
nThe Bear roared in madness, charging towards Shiro.
nJumping onto the tree branch, Shiro jumped once more as she landed behind the Bear.
nThe Bear didn't turn around as the flames on his back grew larger.
n
nCreating a block of Ice, Shiro hopped backwards whilst she saw the Ice block melt in mere seconds.
nRaising both her arms slightly, two Ice Spears materialised as she threw them both towards the Bear.
nAfter throwing the spears, she quickly created a third spear.
nWith a slight delay, she twisted her body and threw the third spear with all of her might.
nThe first two spears were aimed towards the arms of the Bear as the last one was aimed towards the chest.
n*CRR CRR!!!
nThe first two spears made contacts and froze over instantly, locking both arms into the ground.
nThe last spear made contact as well. However, fire erupted around the Bear as he covered his entire body in a mass of flames.
n
"Shiro frowned seeing her plan go out the window.
n
nThe Bear roared, sending tens of fireballs hurling towards her.
nFreezing the ground beneath her feet, Shiro started to skate around as her agility helped increase her momentum.
n*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOOM!!!!
nMost of the fireballs missed but for the odd few which were on target, Shiro created her own Ice Bullet as it cancelled each other out.
nShiro narrowed her eyes whilst she crouched down and started to manually construct a ramp.
nUnder the paw, through the legs, around the back, over the head.
nA roller coaster seemed to have been created as Shiro manoeuvred around the Bear causing it to not be able to lock onto her.
nLittle by little, an orb of Ice formed around the bear. Seeing the orb of Ice completed, Shiro made a ramp straight up.
nMaking two spears, she threw both of them with a slight gap between them.
n
nThe first spear was countered with a fire breath whilst the second one took its place.
nBringing her hands together, Shiro controlled the Ice Orb she created and fused it together with the second spear. This caused the weight of the spear to increase dramatically as it crushed the bear beneath it.
nNot allowing it a moments rest, Shiro made a Nano Dagger and tried to decapitate the Bear whilst it couldn't retaliate.
nShe frowned as she saw the dagger fail to cut deeply into the neck.
n
"Che, we'll do this the hard way then big guy.
" Shiro said as she flicked her wrist and a second dagger materialised.
nStabbing the dagger through the tongue and jaw of the Bear, she froze it in place to make sure it couldn't move.
nMaking one more dagger, she twirled them both as she cut away at the face of the Bear. Layer by layer, the Bear's cries became more painful.
nIt tried to thrash around crazily but Shiro kept a constant supply of mana to the Ice locking the Bear down. This prevented the Bear from leaving since the Ice always regenerated.
nThe Bear had also tried to coat his body with fire, but the Ice was mostly concentrated near Shiro so it didn't melt as easily. He could only suffer while Shiro slowly killed it.
n
nAfter a few minutes of constant attacking with her two daggers, Shiro panted heavily seeing the Bear finally die.
nThe skull of the Bear had lost most of its flesh as Shiro scr.a.p.ed it to the bone and destroyed the brain.
n
"Pui! What a pain.
" Shiro said spitting out some blood that got into her mouth.
nStanding up, she dismissed the ice. Carving a hole through the torso leading to where the heart would be, Shiro frowned when she realised she couldn't reach it due to her small arm length.
n
"Ha….
" She sighed with fatigue as she brought up her two daggers and carved away.
nAfter digging for a while, she finally saw the heart. The heart itself was roughly two-fifths of her body size.
nRummaging around in the heart, she pulled out a Mana Stone the size of a large chicken egg.
n
"Collect
"
nThe body disappeared and Shiro drank as much mana as she could.
n
nLooking over at the list of loot, Shiro couldn't help but nod and appreciate the reward. At least it was worth her efforts.
nRewards consisted of a bunch of miscellaneous items fit for blacksmiths, pharmacists and alchemists. It also included several pieces of armour which were mostly (Blue) Ranked and a single Lucky Skill Stone.
nSelling the miscellaneous items, she recycled the equipment she didn't need.
nThe equipment that remained were:
nFire Spirit Infused Power Gauntlet (Blue) LVL20
n 20 STR
n 15 VIT
n-10 AGI
nSkill – Power Boost
n
nPower Boost – 100% damage, 15 STR, 30% Damage Taken
nDuration – 20 Seconds
nCool Down – 5 Minutes
nEmpowered Fire Bear Guards (Blue) LVL20
n 20 DEF
n 15 VIT
n 5 STR
nFire Spirit Empowered Hammer (Blue) LVL20
nRequirements: 60 STR
n
n 30 Blunt Damage
n 15 Momentum Boost
n 15 Fire Element
n-10 Attack Speed
nPassive Skill – Reduced Weight
nReduced Weight – Reduces the Weight of the weapon by 30%.
nThe passive skill of the hammer was impressive as it would help counter the -10 Attack Speed. Shiro decided to save the hammer until she outgrew the level since it may help her. Recycling it right now would just be a waste of loot and might cause her to regret it later.
nTurning her attention to the Lucky Skill Stone, she couldn't help but put on a slightly bitter face.
nLucky Skill Stone (Purple) – Disguise
n
nDisguise – Disguise your status from under any peeking eye.
nCost – 100MP upon activation. Will take another 100MP each time someone peaks at your stats.
nDuration – Until cancellation
nCool Down – None
nThere were a few types of Skill Stones. Lucky Skill Stones, Cursed Skill Stones, Blessed Skill Stones and normal Skill Stones.
nLucky Skill Stones gives you the skill you need at that moment in time.
nCursed Skill Stones give you a skill that would act like a double-edged sword.
nBlessed Skill Stones would evolve one of your existing skills. This can be whichever skill you choose.
nAnd finally, a normal Skill Stone which would give you a random skill according to your level. However, the skill may not be fit for you as it may be for a different class.
n
nShiro pulled a slightly bitter face due to the timing.
nA Lucky Skill Stone was one of the rarest items, and it was a known fact that when you get this stone at a high level, this Lucky Skill Stone could very well give you a logic shattering skill.
nIn her past life, she had only ever heard of a handful of people getting the Lucky Skill Stones and never saw one.
nYet, this Lucky Skill Stone was wasted to get a Disguise skill. Was she supposed to be happy or sad?
nShe got a skill she needed but on the other hand, she wasted such a good item. It was akin to spending a million gold to buy a loaf of bread.
n'Be grateful for what you get I guess?' She thought, crushing the stone and learnt the skill.
nShe checked her total stats with her new equipment included.

nEquipment: (Tap to display)
nThrough killing the Leader Class Bear, she had managed to pseudo level up once. Since her equipment was changed, she lost 10 INT so she invested all 5 points into INT to try to make up for a little of that lost damage.
nLooking at the destroyed surroundings due to the fight, she couldn't help but rub her nose slightly.
n'This is just the destruction caused when I use my Ice powers. When I get the higher level Nanomancer skills, I would be the enemy of nature preservation.' She thought as the destructive prowess that came with the Nanomancer class was incredible.
n
nShe hopped onto a tree branch while she waited for her health to regenerate.
nTaking this chance, she decided to see how the Disguise skill worked.
nCurrent Display:
nShiro – LVL20 – Snow Girl – Elite
nHP: 1430
/3800
nMP: 20
/4800
nSeeing this, she now understood what the party of 5 saw when they looked at her.
n'But why can they see my HP and MP?' She thought as she started to disguise it a little.
nShiro – LVL20 – Ice Mage
n
n'There.' She thought with a smile. That way she can avoid them peering into her remaining HP and MP.
nWhen her HP and MP were full, she touched the obelisk and tapped 3F. Her vision cleared as she examined the room in front of her.
nThe room was surrounded with a black marble type material. Large pillars supported the roof as red flags could be seen hanging from the top. Towards the back of the room, a towering throne could be seen as a figure sat on the throne with an air of nonchalance.
nIt had black armour with neon orange highlights. It didn't wear a helmet as a ball of fire can be seen where the head was supposed to be.
n
"One fight after another huh? I'm game.
" Shiro grinned.
nFire Spirit Knight – LVL 20 – BOSS
n###
n
"Where's the obelisk guardian?
" A man asked as 7 people approached the obelisk.
n
"That's weird….
" Another man muttered seeing the signs of battle.
n
n
"What there anyone else in the Dungeon except for you guys?
" He asked.
nThe people he was looking at was the party of 5 Shiro met before. After waiting for 2 days, rescue came. Due to the time difference inside the Dungeon and the outside world, 1 day in the dungeon was 1 hour outside.
nThe backup was 2 D rank adventurers who were tasked to conquer the mutated Dungeon with the help of the party.
n
"There was no one apart from us.
" Xin Feng replied.
n
"Then the most likely situation would be a monster clashing with the obelisk guardian.
" The first man said as the party of 5 perked up.
n
"Why would a monster fight the guardian?
" Trevor asked.
n
"It's uncommon but not unheard of. When a monster in the dungeon reaches a certain amount of intellect and strength, they will be freed of the dungeon's constraints. At this point, they'll be able to leave the Dungeon.
" The first man said frowning at the destruction.
n
"Ken, what class do you think the monster is? Has it reached D rank?
" He asked.
n
"No it hasn't. But it's not far, Peak E class.
" Ken replied.
n
n
"Then we don't have to worry. A single Peak E class won't be able to solo an E rank Boss. It needs a party of 5 E ranks coordinating well with each other to beat one.
" The first man said in relief.
nEntering the second floor, they made their way to the obelisk once more.
nThey froze seeing the destruction magnify by a few times.
n
"D rank?
" The man asked with a serious face.
n
"Definitely.
" Ken replied.
n
"Alright! Everyone prepare yourselves. The two monsters' may very well be fighting right now. We'll take advantage of this and finish them both off.
" He said as they nodded.
nThe party of 5 was nervous as they gulped unconsciously.
nWhen their vision cleared, they froze in shock.
n
"!!!
"
n
nThe entire room was encased in ice as there were some parts thicker than others. Melted sections could also be seen as they knew whatever happened here was beyond their league. This shouldn't be something a single E ranked could output.
n'The Snow Girl!!' The party of 5 though collectively since she was the only one staying in the Ice Element System whilst everything turned to the Fire Element System.
nThe first man's expression turned serious as he turned to Ken.
n
"Record this down. Saturday, 24th, January 2045. E rank Dungeon 14. Location, New York. Entry, Dungeon Monster Escape. Estimated Rank, D.
" The man said as Ken nodded and wrote everything down.
n
"Do you guys know anything about the monster?
" The man asked turning to the five.
nXin Feng looked at his friends and nodded.
n
"We have a clue. It was a named monster called 'Shino' or something. S, H, I, N, O. Her race was Snow Girl.
" Xin Feng said as the man nodded.
n
"Put this through the guild.
" The man said as Ken entered everything into his device.
nName – Shino
nEstimated Danger Rank – D
nRace – Snow Girl
nAdditional Information – Soloed an E rank Mutated Dungeon.
