Everyone Else Has a System

A wide empty room, with only a single source of light, a small window. That is what greeted me as soon as I entered the dungeon. The room was dark, broken and spooky with a strange aura.

There was no hint of how to proceed out of this room or move to the deeper floors of the dungeon. It was a simple four walled room, with one of the walls having a single small window.

Does the room have any secrets? Yes.

One window and a light coming into the room through it.

Was there a way out of the room through the window? It may look like it but no, if you go through the window, you will return to the same room before you could even realise.

So… how do we solve the 'puzzle' of floor one? It is actually easy.

I moved towards the window and covered the whole window with a dark aura, stopping the only source of light that was making things visible here, and as soon as I succeeded in doing that,

A pair of dark red eyes emerged within the darkness. I observed them with a smile before I closed my eyes and started using my mana sense to sense the being of the darkness in front of me.

It was Cerberus, who was preparing to jump at me but before he could even make a move.

"Aura of Light,"I muttered, creating a bright light around Cerberus, making it succumb down to the floor. I saw its flesh burning all over as I took out my sword, coated it with light before moving towards it and…

-Slash! Killed it and its blood started flowing into the ground before it began to cover the entire floor, before moving up the walls and soon taking over the entire room.

The blood filled room then started heating up slowly as strange juices started oozing out of the pores formed on the walls and the roof.

"Aura of Life," I muttered again as I healed not only myself but also the very room in which I was standing. I don't know the exact reason, but that Cerberus was a manifestation of the spirit itself.

So when I cut down the Cerberus, the room started bleeding as well, and now that I was healing the room…

-Growl!!

I heard Cerberus growling behind me as he slowly stood back up and I smiled as once again I spoke,"Aura of Light."

I killed it again, and then healed the room again, killed that guy again and healed it again. After I kept repeating the process over and over for about a dozen times,

"Aura of L-"

"Wait! That's enough… who are you?" Cerberus finally spoke as he looked at me and I answered with a deep gaze,"a challenger."

He looked at me for a few moments before speaking,"then why did you attack me?"

He was confused and quite scared as he looked at me and I spoke,"you were the one who almost jumped at me. I was just protecting myself."

"I wasn't going to jump at you to harm you but to get closer to get a good look," he spoke with a thin smile and I chuckled,"as if anyone is going to believe that."

-Slash!!

I slashed it again. I saw him almost going berserk mode right now and finally, when I had the chance, I killed it.

Last time, it took me a few hours to close the door in darkness, a few more days to defeat the Cerberus, which slowly healed itself up in about 2-3 hours and I fought again and again repeating the process until when he started talking to me, foolish enough I started talking back too, enough to give him a chance to power up and almost kill me.

Though the thing that I hypothesised was that the Cerberus can't be killed in normal mode but only once it goes berserk. So one needs to kill it enough times to make it realise that it can't defeat the challenger being only in normal mode.

He will start talking with the challenger, to both heal himself up and get into strong berserk mode but since I knew what he was up to, I simply waited for him to initiate going into berserk mode and as soon as he did that, killing him was all that was needed.

On the wall opposite to where the window was, a door emerged out of nowhere and I finally entered into it.

Inside it there was a swarm of bees, that I simply evaporated with Blaze Fragment Magic, that I got from Lucifer. Accordingly, you need to have at least a high-class fire magic that can burn all the bees at once without leaving even a single alive or else they will regenerate. So having Lucifer's fragment made things quite easy for me.

Next floor was a never ending desert where there were two ways out. One was to dig deep enough to break into the lower dungeon or go high up in the sky to reach the clouds and wake up the monsters that are sleeping there.

Killing those monsters will open up a portal to the next floor.

As for me, I decided to dig deep using air and earth magic as it was easier for me… it took me about half a day, before I broke into the next floor and soon into another floor, and another, and another.

Some floors were pure puzzle based, while others were combat based. It took me about a day at some to a couple of days to another, while the least ones took about 3 to 4 hours.

And soon enough, I reached the first boss of the dungeon.

The Twin Headed Dragon.
