Testing the Instant Dungeon.

John decided that he would just call it a day here. He could return to school tomorrow but he wanted to experiment with that new skill he had just gotten. Therefore he left the school grounds to go somewhere less public.

Which would be a hard thing all things considered (The city was pretty big) if there hadn’t been a protected forest area just outside the city. And as the school was located at the edge of the city it was a mere ten-minute walk. Only problem that could occur would be the rangers that patrolled these woods but he didn’t plan to stay within sight for too long anyway.

John raised his hand and created an Instant Dungeon. He thought about a weak monster as did: Skeletons, Zombies, such things. The world became silent. With the Instant Dungeon created no gusts of wind touched these ‘fake’ trees to make their leaves whisper.

“Seems like it worked.” John mumbled. His MP had jumped back to 45, consuming the little he had regenerated on the way here. He looked around. No enemies in sight. Starting to walk he continued walking. Nope, nothing, nothing at all.

2 EXP Gained.

‘Wait what?’ Confused his head whirled into every direction. Still nothing. He turned around and just as his foot hit the ground again the message opened again.

1 EXP Gained.

He looked down. Tiny little things crawled at the forest floor. They had the form of little pinecones with arms and legs, moving on all fours like toddlers. He used Observe on one that was rolling towards him.

Seedling Lvl 1

HP: 2 MP: 1

Tiny forest spirits that take hold of pinecones and other seeds. They are the baby stage of treants and don’t possess power.

He had accidently killed two by stepping on them. Of course two EXP was measly but now that he knew what he was looking for he was practically jumping from one pinecone to the next. Each one gave 1-3 EXP and slowly he climbed towards his Level Up. Little numbers add up after all.

One drawback though: His physical condition wasn’t the best and after ten minutes of running around it started to show. Moving got more difficult and after ten more minutes he sat down on a mossy stone, breathless. As he recovered a message popped up.

Achievement Unlocked: The Muscle of the Operation 1

You slightly trained your body. Finally going to use another piece of meat than your dick?

+1 END

“Fuck you.” John gaspingly cursed the **** that wrote these descriptions and wiped away the sweat from his forehead. That achievement was interesting. From the ‘1’ at the end he guessed that it was repeatable. That made the hopping around here even more worthwhile, now he could farm minor EXP and the occasional Endurance Point.

As he recovered his stamina he had a worthwhile idea. Why not level Possession while he was resting? Not like he had anything better to do. He looked at a stone and used the skill. Now he looked at himself resting while looking at himself being a rock. It was weird.

He stayed as the rock for a minute and then went back to trampling seedlings. Than he sat down, became the rock again and so on until he was out of mana. The next break he ate and drank what he had brought in his inventory. It boosted his MP regeneration tremendously (a whooping 3 MP per minute more!) and helped him regain Stamina as well.

He continued that pattern and by the second depletion of his mana bar he had a few windows to look through.

Achievement Unlocked: The Muscle of the Operation 2

You slightly trained your body. Keep going and one day somebody might find you desirable!

+2 END

(Replaces the Muscle of the Operation 1)

Possession Lvl 2:

10 MP -> 9 MP Activation Cost

You may now slightly move the possessed object.

Achievement Unlocked: Seedling Stomper

Don’t you feel sorry for the poor little things? I guess not.

Level Up! Congratulations you are now Level 4.

He pumped his fist. “Aw yeah, that is what I am talking about!” He exclaimed and had a look at his Status. The level up got him a whopping 5 Points to spend. Not bad at all especially when combined with the 2 Endurance he gained. Aside from the Seedling Stomper Achievement, which had no Bonus whatsoever, this has been really productive.

There was a new thing to think about now though.
