[You have slept in a bed. HP, CP, SP and MP have been fully restored.]

Daichi closed the box and let out a small yawn. He stood up and stretched his arms and legs. Daichi clenched his fists and felt the power coursing through his entire body. He put his sleeping bed back in his inventory and looked around the room. Daichi then saw a large open window and went near it.

The view outside took him by surprise. The sky was full of dark grey clouds and blocked most of the sunlight. As Daichi looked he saw nothing but an open field surrounding the castle. A barren land with a majestic castle in the center. That was the structure of this dungeon.

Daichi felt the window sill on his palms and then looked at his hands. He felt several different emotions at once. Disbelief, amazement, excitement and more.

'I was supposed to die... But instead I got reincarnated into a fictional world with one of the greatest abilities. And now I'm in a dungeon battling enemies that could kill me and yet... I don't feel scared... Wariness maybe. But not fear. But more than that I feel excited... Excited about the battles, the opportunities, about this world... Still... Sometimes I wonder if this is all just an elaborate dream my mind conjured up to keep me alive... Until I heal from my wounds and wake up to my dull boring life...'

Daichi shook his head and sighed. 'Turning off the gamer's mind always makes me more emotional.'

Daichi sat near the window and started meditating. He needed to be at his best for the battles in the next few floors.

After about an hour Daichi was in a much better and peaceful state of mind. He opened his eyes and stood. He was ready for battle.

'The next floor would have 5 enemies. But they would be much stronger. I doubt my clones would be able to distract them for long, much less beat them... Still. I have to try. Speed is my greatest advantage against power. There is also the option of using stat points. But I don't want to do that unless I absolutely have to.'

He created 4 clones and they made their way to the next floor. As Daichi entered the sixth floor of the castle he felt the presence of 5 powerful ninjas. His ears alerted him to the shurikens coming at his back. Daichi and his clones split up.

Due to Daichi training everyday and pushing himself, his stat points increased steadily. It was a slow but steady progress. Thus he was far stronger than someone of the same level.

The hidden ninjas appeared and the battle immediately began. Daichi and his clones extensively used the body flicker jutsu and due to the effects of several skills their speed was unmatched.

'Three of them are level 64 and two are 65.' Daichi analyzed his opponents and quickly attacked the one that showed the highest health and chakra.

The clones used ninjutsu and genjutsu and attacked their opponents from a distance while Daichi was in close combat with his foe. The clones used the body flicker jutsu to dodge attacks or keep their enemies in check while Daichi attacked and finished them off one by one.

Daichi slashed down vertically and sliced off an arm and jumped back to dodge the wild sword swing from his enemy. His hands blurred through several seals and he fired several small volleys of fast but powerful fire bullets.

[Enemy Killed.]

+1700 Exp.

+255 Exp.

[Enemies killed: 43/55]

You have leveled up.

'Yes! About time.' Thanks to the level up, Daichi's stamina was restored to almost 70%. At that moment another notification alerted him to the enemy coming from behind.
