Let's level up (The power upgrade system)

06 The virtual dimensional rift (I)

After spending five days training at the bottom of the forest, Rayan and the others got familiarized with their new skills.

When they got over with their training, they separated and agreed to meet at Rayan's apartment at midnight, because it's possible that the system will launch a second quest at the end of the first one.

When Rayan got home, he took a shower, and started watching TV waiting for Sarah and her friends to show up, when they came, he served them some tea, and they started to discuss.

When it was midnight, they received a succession of system notification.

[DING]

[System global announcement]

[Congratulation for all the individuals who had completed the first quest]

[A second quest has been issued]

[Clear the virtual dimensional rift]

[System notice:

The dimensional rift is the passageway that will link the two dimensions, it's generated by a crystal that need to be synchronized with the two before forming a passageway.

The power of the beings that can cross the dimensional rift depend on the crystal level.

When the crystal is synchronizing, it will create an inaccessible area from the outside all over it, but it can still contain living beings inside.

When Rayan and his team saw the content of the quest, they all smiled from ear to ear. They were joyful that they can now gain more combat experience and try their skills to their heart's content in the dimensional rift simulation.

Rayan sent an invitation to form a party to Sarah and her friends and selected the dungeon function, there were two categories of dungeon a rank D and a rank C but the rank D option was grayed out, so Rayan chose the rank C dungeon.

[DING]

[You have selected to enter a C rank dungeon with your team. Do you wish to continue?]

[Yes] Rayan has selected.

Their vision went black and next they saw that they were in the middle of the city and a large dimensional rift was before them.

When Rayan and the others were marveling about the realism of the simulation, Rayan got a system notification

[DING]

[A rank C dungeon has been detected. Do you wish to get in?]

[Yes] Rayan has selected.

The dimensional rift started to shine and when it dimmed, he got a system notification.

[DING]

[You can now enter with your team]

Rayan led the team to get in, when they got through, they find themselves in the desert the sand dunes stretched as far as the eye could see.

"There is no one in sight. I think the enemy will attack from below, watch out your surrounding." Rayan ordered.

Rayan and his team got into combat formation and began exploring the surroundings. The mood was tense, in addition to that it was very hot. They felt that their heart was going to reach their throat dint of beating, after all it was their first real fight against monsters.

When they were exploring the surroundings the sand start trembling under their feet, as soon as they felt it, they dodged and Rayan threw several fireballs on the same area.

When the fire extinguished, they saw the corps of a lizardman that was 2 meter tall laying on the sand.

Maïssa was curious about the monster, she was about to reach him, but Rayan stopped her.

"I don't think that it is dead yet, it is only faking it."

When Adam heard him, he grabbed his sword, rushed to the lizard and stabbed at it.

The lizard tried to dodge the incoming attack, but it was too late. Adam's sword went through his head.

"HAHA! I got my first blood." Adam was overjoyed to get his first kill, but his happiness didn't last long. The sand start trembling all over them and ten lizardmans appeared, but these ones were wearing armors and carried spears.

"Get into formation." Rayan cried out and summoned one earth elemental.

"Each one of us will face two lizardmans, get ready." Rayan ordered.

"Attack." Rayan activated his skill 'cry of war'

[Cry of war: The whole team and their summons will benefit from a 40% increase in attack and attack speed and 20% increase in movement speed for 5 minute.

Cooldown: 20 minutes.]

Rayan and his team dashed forward, and each one of them took two opponents.

Rayan used his skills 'sprint' and 'precision strike' and he thrusted with his spear to one of the Lizardman, he pierced him in his throat, made a half circle in the air and slashed with his spear to the second one and cut off his head.

The armored lizardmans didn't even have time to move a muscle, when Rayan finished each one of them with one hit.

Rayan looked at the others to see their performance but Sarah and Maïssa had already finished with their opponent and were heading towards his summons which took time to finish off his own as they moved Adam had put an end the last lizardman he faced and joined them.

Rayan was glad to see his teammate's skillful display of power and teamwork. When the last lizardman died he applauded and said "Not bad everyone, you had grasped your skills perfectly, and you adapted quickly to this new environment." Rayan praised them and added "Let's search for the dimensional crystal."

When they were searching for the crystal, they meet other group of lizardman, and they have defeated them with ease but the more they advanced the strength of lizardman increased.

When Rayan was looking at the horizon, he saw something shining…
