He stopped as the time for the tide was almost on them. Those who didn't get the chance to spar with him felt a little disappointed, as those who sparred against him learned a lot from him. "How do I know this much about fighting?" {I don't know} Blaze also had no idea, but it was like fighting was second nature to him, he could easily decipher any fighting technique and even improve it further. Neo thought hard but could not guess why, maybe because Blaze had the brawn while he had the brains part or something along the line, but he had no idea. {Watch it, I'm still smarter than…me? Damn this confusion.} Blaze sat under a tree as he closed his eyes and started using the breathing technique subconsciously as it became a habit to him because either he used it or either Neo. Just then, he heard someone talking slowly. "He easily fought 5 people like it was nothing." "But the monsters are different. We'll get him when he's tired." "It's still a risky plan." "Dude, you saw the
Neo looked at the towering monster who was walking toward them and said, "It's completely made of trees and vines" He used [Inspect] on it.

Its muscular frame was covered in a thick layer of bark, while its long arms ended in wickedly sharp thorns. Its face was twisted into a snarl, revealing sha
'Are they stalling?' This was the last thought that crossed the figure's mind. Puchi* It fell forward on the ground, motionless. The glyphs dimmed as the monster was now free, and a notification appeared before Neo. 『 Soul successfully collected.』 『 +4 Intelligence, +3 Vitality.』 『 You have defeated the hidden floor boss.』 『 You have received the [Arboromancer] class scroll.』 『 You have received the Blinking ring.』 『 You have successfully cleared the hidden requirement of the A+ rank quest [Forestkeep Citadel]』 『 You have received [Key Fragment].』 Blaze looked at the dazzling amount of notification. He came next to the corpse and found the person had a horn on his forehead, "had" because Neo just took that off of it and now half of it had been gone. Neo turned to the person and looked at its calm look and asked, "From the Demon or Beast tribe?" {No idea.} Neo stripped the person and found him to be of the Beast tribe as a tail and fur grew on its body. Along with its sli
"What's your name?" Blaze asked as he saw the wolf girl still looking at the flames that were burning the bandit's hideout. "Lirien." She said subconsciously, but then got out her daze as she asked, "And yours?" "Neo." He replied as he asked, "What to do with this item now, Lirien?" Lirien grabbed the ruby from him and said, "I know." She then chose a direction and started walking. "Follow me." Neo followed, after walking for over 10 minutes, he arrived in front of a giant wall. He looked at it with confusion when Lirien said, "This is where the hidden boss of the floor lives." Neo looked at her with surprise, then asked himself, "Is my luck this good?" {Yes, it is.} "You know the hidden bosses of other floors as well." Lirien shook her head as she said, "Not all of them. I wasn't able to find the hidden boss on the 2nd floor and the first floor." She added, "But I do know about the hidden bosses up to the 15th floor." "How?" Neo asked, as the hidden bosses were a name he
He would've used them, but they were heavy armor type and made him feel restricted. The helmet was a good item but Lirien needed it more than him, so he gave it to her. He at the end gave the boots to her as he very much liked the skill [Dash of Wind] and the new boots had a skill [Quickstep] but it was not as good as the former one. He also leveled up once because one of the boss monsters required them to deal with a horde of monsters before they could get the secret boss out, while others also required them to clear the monsters before they could get to the boss. 『 Status (1 of 2) Name: Neo Orpheus.

A breathtaking sight welcomed Neo as he entered through the gates of the Divine Realm. The ground was made of polished white marble, and a shimmering golden light illuminated the entire area. The air was filled with a soothing scent of incense and the soft melody of angelic music. He looked around and saw towering pillars of ivory and gold with intricate engravings that depicted different creatures. Walls adorned with magnificent murals that portrayed the winged race, aka the Celestials of the Divine realm, in all its glory. In the distance, he could see a grand temple that seemed to glow with an otherworldly radiance. The temple was surrounded by a vast garden of blooming flowers and lush greenery. Neo could feel a sense of peace and serenity wash over him as he gazed upon the divine beauty of the first floor. Neo basked in the golden glow as the Divine energy coursed through his body and red notification bars blinked before him. 『 First Floor of the Divine Realm.』 『 The Trial h
Neo came out of his hiding spot and sat down as he knew that the coast was clear now, and he could spend the rest of the time with ease in here. And thanks to this place and his luck, no more disturbance occurred this time, and he spent the rest of the time here, without any surprises or anything. {My life is too dull.} "Dull is safer." 『 Remain hidden ✔.』 『 Trial Updating….』 『 Infiltrate the Temple of the Thief Punisher.』 The updated quest made his head turn toward the Temple that was visible from even where he was. ‘The boring part just ended.’ "The troublesome part started." Blaze grinned as he cracked his neck and knuckles. "Let the expert handle this one." The first thing he did was to use [Blink] and appeared in the tree branch 5 meters above the ground. "A little less, but will do." He then tried again, but couldn't. It was like a stopper was put on the water bottle. He couldn't access the water from it. (Means cooldown) Blaze scrunched his eyebrows a bit, then s
Neo looked at the old man and said, "What will they do when they have the Tower?" Sev took a sip slowly as he savored its taste. “The tower holds the infinite source of Divine Energy. What would one do if they had access to an infinite amount of something that is so dangerous that it was sealed away?” Neo was silent as he could imagine what would happen if something like that happened. “Cataclysm.” He closed his eyes as he tried controlling the divine energy around him, but couldn't. He opened his eyes as he looked at Sev, who chuckled when he saw him doing that, and said, "You need to clear the trial before controlling the energy on that floor." Neo nodded in comprehension as otherwise this would be too easy and even with his luck, it shouldn’t be possible. Neo sipped the tea and asked, "What about you, Senior Sev?" Sev knew what Neo was asking about and just returned a smile in return as he said, "I'm too old for that, and such a thing was never my desire." Blaze’s eyes fla
