After walking for a while, I finally realized the situation of the dungeon. The first floors hold the weaker monsters and the lower you go the stronger they get. On each floor, there is a floor boss and when you defeat it, you gain access to the entrance portal that will send you to the next floor directly or any floor you have been on already. In addition, there are some areas in the dungeon that are considered safe areas for adventurers as there are no monsters present in the area. In terms of exp, there was very little here. Just as I stepped on to the next floor, a system message interrupted my advance.
{Hidden quest completed: Reach floor 50 of ???! Reward: Unique skill: Safe zone}
{Quest initiated:
-Reach floor 70 of ???! Reward: skill: Amaterasu!
-Clear ???! Reward: new system feature!!}
[Safe zone: A domain created by the user where all attacks are useless in that domain]
[Amaterasu: Flames of the Japanese goddess that can burn all life forms]
I stood their staring at the notification dumbfounded. What? Amaterasu? New system feature? I didn't know how to react to this information.
I smirked at this new information. 'Well the system sure does know how to motivate someone.'
Now that I was motivated nothing could stop me.
[Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?]
'You just had to say it?' I was not even surprised anymore.
Roar
Just then as I entered the jungle floor, a deafening roar came from above. As I looked up to see… a freaking dragon. Without hesitation, it hurled it flaming breath at me, caught off guard, all I could do was brace for impact. When the breath struck me, I took little damage but the ground below me fell apart instantly
[What kind of weak ass dungeon is this?]
'Fuck off system this is your fault.'
Thud
As I fell through a barrage of floors gaining momentum, I suddenly crushed onto a floor that did not give way with a loud thud.
"Aaagh!"
I groaned as I got up and then surveyed my surroundings. I was I a dark room and the cundles on the walls lit up moving towards the center of the room which contained… a sword in a rock.
[Not just any sword, this is the holy the previous hero wielded Excalibur. It's just their unguarded, maybe you should take it before someone else beats you to the punch.]
'Shut up!'
Obviously such an important relic wouldn't be left unguarded.
"Come out." I called out. "I know your here, don't make me drag you out."
But despite my call, no one answered.
"Fine."
I conjured a lightspear And threw it in a dark part of the room.
"You shouldn't have dodged, sudden movement gave you away."
Clap clap clap
A figure came from the area I had thrown my lightspear clapping.
"Impressive, through your entrance, I assumed you came here by sheer luck and the holysword would make you let your guard down and then I strike. Guess I was mistaken."
"You know what they say 'don't judge the book by the cover.'"
"Sorry for the late introduction, I am Ajaku Beelzebub."
"Wow, what would a Satan be doing in a rabbit hole like this?"
"I should be asking that question. What would a mere mortal be doing in the deapth of hell?"
"Hell? So that's were I am."
"Enough chit-chat, surely you don't think I plan on letting you leave here?"
"And you don't think I'll just sit and wait. But before we clash, I have one question."
"Ask away."
"What is THE holysword Excalibur doing in the depth of hell?"
"When the hero died 500 years ago, naturally the killers –the demons took his sword as a prize but because no being except the hero could wield it, it embedded itself in this rock and hasn't moved ever since."
"I thank you for humoring me, now you reward."
I conjured a lightspear and hurled it towards the devil infront of me but he dodged it with ease.
"Do you think such attacks could kill me?"
Then he conjured some dark crimson energy and blasted it my way. I jumped out of the way to dodge it but found that he had created a sword and anticipated where I would dodge. As he stuck, I unsheved the sword I had 'acquired' from Candy's guard, but the force was still too much and I was sent flying into the opposite wall. Before I could react more of those crimson blasts were sent my way hitting me but not causing any fatal wounds.
"I prefer to play with my opponent before killing them."
"Well then I am sorry to disappoint you but that won't work on me."
Due my gamer body, my wounds healed instantly causing him to frown
"A swordsman who can use magic and heal, quite rear."
"I truly am one of a kind."
"But that doesn't change your fate."
[True, he is clearly stronger than you.]
"That won't but this will."
I launched forward at him but he jumped to the side and dogded
"I told you, your too-"
He stopped mid-sentence when he realized that I wasn't after him but the holysword.
"Fool, only the hero can wield that-"
He froze mid-speech as I effortlessly pulled out the sword from the rock.
"Impossible, how can you use the sword? Are you this generations hero."
I ignored him and walked forward until I was under the hole I fell through.
"Light rain"
I shouted and sent a ray of light upward and when it reached the 50th floor, it diverged into multiple rays and fell like endless rain killing every monster on that floor and that below it some rays even reaching our floor. And just as expected the exp gain was alot
10,536,000exp
I put 200 points in strength, hp, mp, vigor and luck and then launched forward with my sword aimed at beelzebub, he tried to block but my strength far surpassed his. I followed with ice spears and pined him to the wall.
"Impossible, I am Ajaku Beelzebub, a satan."
"And I am Danny Rones, the hero of this rotting world."
I then embude light in my sword as it is the easiest way to purify a devil, and struck down, killing him.
{Quest completed:
-Reach floor 70 of hell! Reward: skill: Amaterasu!
-Clear hell! Reward: new system feature!!}
So I was really in hell. But what's the new system feature.
[New system feature: Random skill. User can exchange 100,000exp for 1 roll for a random skill]
I now had 10,535,000exp left. I put 1,907,000 points in strength, hp, mp, vigor and luck each and converted the remaining into rolls, and then I felt my power ascend to new realms
{Hidden quest complete: Ascension: Break humanity's limit and ascend to a demi-god! Reward: 2 skill rolls! New titles unlocked: Unbroken, God's favourate, mana pool, everlasting.}

'I became a demi-god? Is this because of my luck is insanely high? Now I have 12 rolls'
Before I could roll, a light appeared at the end of the room and a portal opened. This unexpected event proved more useful than I realized. I now have Excalibur, I have ascended to a new realm, got a new system feature and even new cool titles. 'But still, I wish Dayne was here.' I thought as I walked toward the portal.
'How long was I in here?'
[2 days]
I entered the portal and vanished
—-------Kingdom of Nytheria. 2 month after the dissappearance of the first hero.—----------
A light enveloped the summoning chamber and then dissappeared.
"What! Where am I?" A certain blonde haired boy asked.
"It worked again."
"Is this the miracle generation?"
"Unbelievable!"
"The second time!"
…
As people began to whisper, Beltai walked up the alter.
"Welcome hero from another world, I am Beltai, the head of the royal mages."
Beltai introduced himself feeling a sense of de ja vu.
"You are currently in Nytheria, in this world-"
"You were attacked by the demon race and you god/goddess gave you a spell that lets you summon heroes from another world to save you and I can't go back to my world but in return they are granted unimaginable power, did I miss anything." The blond boy said.
"You are already proving to be capable."
"Just basic anime and game logic."
"Another one comparing this to a game." Beltai mumbled under his breath. Then a thought crossed his mind. 'What if they are from the same world? That's impossible.'
"Since you understood quickly I'll take you to the king."
"Lead the way."
—----Dan—----
As soon Dan stepped out of the portal, a familiar sensation hit him, like a thread being reconnected.
Dayne!
'Dayne Dayne, you there?'
'Dan!'
' 'What are you doing here?' ' we both asked in unison.
'No way! You were in another world all this time.' Dayne commented.
'All this time? How long were you looking for me?'
'It's been 2 months since you disappeared.'
'What! Two months!'
'Dan where are you right now?'
'I am in a forest outside Frostmourne.'
'I am in Frostmourne, their hero.'
'That darn king summoned another hero!'
'Is there something wrong?'
'Summoning two heroes in one generation could lead to the death of the second hero.'
'But I am fine.'
'But they still risked your life, I can't let that slide.'
'I am coming to you right now, go outside the forest'
2 minutes later Dayne came flying towards me. Seeing him after coming to another world felt unreal but it still brought joy to me as Dayne was the only family I had.
"Dan, what exactly happened when you were gone?" Dayne asked the moment he landed. After explaining the whole ordeal to him, he didn't seem upset about it.
"Something doesn't connect, if you were exiled, why did the king say that you have sided with the demons." Dayne said as he seemed to recall something.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, when I learned that I was the second hero, naturally, I asked about the first hero, but I was told that the had sided with the demons, when I tried to push the matter, the king ordered me to stop questioning and just know that the time I meet him, we will be enemies. So why go to such lengths for someone who is weak?"
"Well, they didn't fear me then but they feared my potential. They were afraid that someone with the hero title even though weak at first, his growth and potential exceeded normal humans. And now I am about to prove there fears right." I said as a wicked grin formed on my face.
