《Izuku's leveling system. [On Hiatus]》Ruler of the Swamp
Advertisement
( Third person perspective.)
Izuku was standing in front of the stairs that led down to the third Underground floor of the dungeon.
Because of his Sense stat almost reaching 30, he was able to feel that whoever was down at the third floor was pretty strong.
" No, I am not gonna go back. I don't know when a chance like this is gonna come again. And this sword, it's gotten dull because of all the blood. I don't know how much longer it will last much more. " Izuku said as he put the heartstone back in his inventory.
He then proceeded to go down the stairs cautiously while looking for the powerful monster. But the total change that the place had been through was too much.
" Is this even the same place? " Izuku asked confused as to how the thing which appeared to be the Degoba subway terminal had turned into a swamp.
There was water flowing in and out from the train tracks. Izuku then noticed a dark shadowy substance lurking inside the waters, but before he could react, the tail of a giant blue serpent came rushing towards him and he got catapulted to the walls, making a large dent in it.
The giant serpent then emerged out of the water. Izuku saw the name of the serpent. It was written in The serpent's strike had caused the sword to break into two.
' . ' Izuku started thinking for a way to damage the serpent.
" Even though I levelled up, your name is still orange. So you're the of this dungeon. " Izuku said as he stood up, jerking his arms " Let's go then! " He added.
He then jumped and tried to use the broken sword to attack the serpent's body, but it was futile. The sword didn't do anything.

The blue scales of the serpent were almost as hard as if it were an armour made of steel.
" Well, I guess I'll just have to do it the hard way. " Izuku said as he rushed towards the serpent with the blade in his hands.
He ran all around the swampy area while looking for weak spots on the serpent's body. He was still trying to injure the serpent, but the serpent was faster than him.
' was going through his head. Suddenly, he remembered something. He had a Skill for speed.
" " Izuku said as his speed was increased. He jumped and landed on top of the scales and started running upwards towards the head.
When he was near the head, he jumped to land on top of his head. Then, he immediately jabbed the broken sword into the eye of the serpent. A message popped up.
[ Critical Hit! ]
He immediately followed the attack with wrapping his arms around the serpent's neck.
" If I'm not able to pierce your body, I'll just crush your scales. " Izuku said as he used all the strength he could muster and put it in his arms.
The sound of bones crunching filled the room as the serpent coiled around and unleashed it's tail around the room in the pain.
A while later it stopped the motion, and it's body plopped down on the floor.

Another message popped up from the system.

The surrounding around Izuku instantly change back to normal and the swamp also returned to normal.
" I have got a great blade from the system, but I don't know about the other item. I know that I have immunity to poison, but will the debuff be okay, or else all of my strength will go away. " Izuku said.
" AAAHHHH!!! Here goes nothing. " He added as he swallowed the poison from the sac.

" Yesss!!! It worked. " Izuku punched the air as he was leaving the subway.
He was instantly stopped by A soldier who was on duty for clearing the surrounding and keep the citizens away.
" Hey you, what are you doing here, don't you know it's blocked here. ( after looking at Izuku bloodied and with a sword ) Ohh! Are you A hero? Were you killing the monsters underground. Let me take you to the others. " The soldier said.
' . 'He thought while looking at A particular direction.
When he reached the location, he saw that there was a group of heroes who appeaed to be a C-rank were trying to defeat the giant stone golem that came out of the dungeon.
They seemed to be struggling to kill it. Seeing this, Izuku thought of helping him, he took up his sleave and threw the broken sword towards the head of the monster.
[ You have defeated

[ Level Up! ]
The broken sword hit the stone golem and caused a loud impact which caused it to topple down.
" Yeah! We killed it. " One of the heroes said.
" No, it wasn't us. We weren't even able to damage it even a little, there was something that came and hit it. " The leader of the party of heroes who were fighting it replied as he found a piece of a broken sword stuck on the golem's body.
He looked towards the direction from which the sword came from.
" Hey sir, would you happen to know the one who threw the sword." He asked as he showed him the sword.
" Oh yeah, it was a hero who is standing right here. " The soldier said as he pointed towards the place where Izuku was standing. Only to find him gone.
" That guy, whoever he or she was, is definitely a . " The leader of the C-rank heroes said to himself.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
