Ignoring the descriptions and system pop-ups that ca after I got the item, I couldn't help but smile... finally, I've gotten my first unique item.
Not to ntion the generosity the system has given , as it gave a bonus of 10 points even though I didn't really level up.
In the ga, bonus points were only achieved if you completed a mission for the first ti or if you've beaten a record, so seeing it pop out now wasn't that surprising.
But still, because of my dumb zero-level luck, I had thought the system would be rciless with . But I guess not?
Anyways, looking at the two beautiful silver earrings with sapphire gemstones embedded inside it, I held onto the item and hurriedly put it on my ears.
As they settled into place, a faint, tingling sensation washed over , like a gentle breeze whispering secrets from distant realms.
It was a curious feeling, one that hinted at the latent power hidden within these seemingly ordinary trinkets.
I glanced around, half-expecting so dramatic transformation to occur, but everything remained as it was.
No sudden surge of energy, no blinding flash of light. Just , standing there in the dimly lit room, adorned with a pair of exquisite earrings that seed to pulse with a subtle, almost imperceptible glow.
But as I reached up to touch them, a strange sensation washed over . It was as if ti itself had slowed, the world around grinding to a halt as I stood there, frozen in place.
At first, I thought it was just my imagination playing tricks on , but then I realized... it was the earrings.
Not long after the world started moving once more.
I guess the effects are true for now... although that was probably just a freebie to show the effects, as in reality, I don't have the mana yet to effectively use such an item.
Still, the notion of possessing sothing so rare and powerful filled with a sense of excitent and anticipation.
Although I don't have a mirror right now, luckily, I wasn't new to piercings. mories of my mother's ticulous grooming sessions flooded back to .
She always insisted on dressing up as a child, adorning with an array of accessories fit for nobility.
While she reasoned it was to accustom to a future life of luxury, I knew she simply delighted in the act of dressing up like a doll.
Finally, locking the two earrings between my ears, I wished I had a mirror right now to see if they fit my image properly.
But even without one, I could envision how they might look.
The beautiful earrings, with their sparkling blue sapphires, would undoubtedly complent my features.
With my piercing blue eyes, they'd likely enhance my appearance, adding a touch of elegance and mystique.

[Note: Added skill - Ti dilation]
[Effects: Movent slow: 50%]

Even the effects were at an all-ti display, a constant reminder of the extraordinary power held within the Tears of Chronos.
The allure of testing their capabilities on my own tugged at my curiosity, but alas, without sufficient mana, I couldn't unleash their full potential.
Opening my status screen, I surveyed my current specs for now:

[Available ability points: 10]
Looking at my spec right now, truly it was still shit... even the overview beca shittier than
ever, what's up with the question marks this ti?
But with this unique item, I can probably have an easier ti putting on an act for the
upcoming fight tomorrow.
The only problem was my power stat, which holds the mana in my being. It was the source stat for mana recovery, mana efficiency, and mana output.
In short, it was the very stat that allowed players to go into a more magic-based build... and the thing I really needed right now in order to even remotely use this unique item properly.
Clicking on my na on the system screen, it expanded the hidden details from the summary:
[Taylor Hell]
[Race: Human]
[Hp: 1,500]
[Mp: 50]
Truly pathetic, haha....
Even though my power stat started at D, the absurdity of the amount I got was truly sothing stupid... Lucas with a D status in power would have 300 mana already... truly
so characters are built different.
As I stared at the screen, a sense of frustration bubbled within .
How was I supposed to compete with the power houses of this world when my resources were
so pitifully low?
It seed like no matter how hard I tried, I was always one step behind, and no matter what I do I'll always get the ending fate has written to for .
At most, I could only use ti dilation for 5 seconds max right now, with my mana recovery speed at an all-ti low as well.
I would probably be good as dead if I ever got into a situation where it involved a battle of
attrition.
I just had to avoid things like that... for now. I better level up to make use of what I got.
I just needed 40 more stat points to upgrade my power stat from D to C, and as a veteran gar, I knew just the location to abuse the heck out of this ga world...

I'm sorry, Lucas, you were supposed to farm the mobs there, but seeing as they aren't part of
your main scenario, they're mine for the taking.
After having a new plan in mind, I went out of the library with a hidden smile tugging at my face... but as I went out, I could feel a presence staring at ...
Looking back, I tried to see who it was, but to my surprise, there was no one except for the
people reading at the tables...
'Did I just imagine things?'
....
Underneath the bustling streets of Arken, the largest comrcial district of the academy, lies
a fairly large manhole.
Nestled in a not-so-well-known part of the dark alleyways, this entrance to the depths below sees only a handful of visitors intentionally or by chance.
Though to the casual observer it might appear like any other manhole scattered across the city streets, the mana it exudes is palpable, pulsing with energy even for soone with a low
power level like .
'Dungeon'
A hot spot for monsters where they can randomly spawn upon a certain period of ti, and can only be stopped once you destroy the dungeon core hidden within its depths.
It was a place that borders the world and the dinsion it was connected through... a place where their were only 2 ways to get out of, one was by passing the hidden test that lays within it, and second by destroying the dungeon's core hidden beneath it's very center.
In the ga only Lucas was able to stumble upon this place as it was a surprise clean up quest intended for farming up Exp.
In the off chance you don't find out about the said dungeon, academy officials easily took care of the dungeon break that happened.
Haah... I almost got lost in the hazy maze-like alley ways but I'm finally here....
As I descend into the darkness, a thick musky foul sll assaults my senses, mingling with the dimly lit background of the narrow hallway.
It's just wide enough for to properly hold my sword, the streaming dirty waters below passing through canals unseen, carrying with it the detritus of the city above.
Combined with the large cobwebs and unknown dirty substances coating the floor, this was
truly the sewers I'd seen in the ga.
Though it was described as the moist disgusting place by Lucas and others, actually
experiencing it myself was rather dreadful.

As expected of a dungeon, I suppose?
Clutching my sword tightly, I scanned the dimly lit surroundings, my senses on high alert for
any signs of imminent danger.
Yet, to my relief, the eerie silence of the dark place persisted, suggesting that the goblins
remained oblivious to my presence-for now, at least.
It was a fortunate stroke of luck, considering my growing doubts about my ability to clear this
foul-slling labyrinth.
The odor hung heavy in the air, a nauseating reminder of the interconnectedness of all the
cesspools in this underground network.
"Damn..." I muttered under my breath, feeling a twinge of frustration at my current
predicant.
"I really should invest in leveling up my power stat and learning so wind spells to avoid situations like this in the future."
The eerie silence hung heavy in the air, broken only by the distant drip of water and the faint
echo of my footsteps.
In the ga, the mont you crossed a certain threshold in this dark domain, goblins would swarm out in relentless waves, each wave more formidable than the last.
Dealing with individual goblins was a straightforward task-they were re mobs, after all,
with abysmal strength stats.
But their childlike intelligence and sheer nurical advantage posed a significant threat.
They can even hold onto dangerous weapons coated ion there very own feces, making them extra deadlier.
One wrong move could spell instant death, bringing the dreaded "ga over" screen crashing
down upon you.
In the ga, you would only need to be attentive to the red eyes that glowed in the dark, as
they were the telltale signs that a goblin was nearby.
So, as I walked forward, I made sure to watch every dark corner, scanning for any signs of
those ominous red eyes watching .
But there was none-not even the usual 'kekeke' laughter that echoed while they watched
their prey.
What was going on?
[Goblins Sewers] [(Dungeon)]
Looking to my side, I could see the system screen popping out, indicating that I was really
inside the dungeon.
And yet... why was there no monster here?
