Leveled 3

Paladin was able to use all types of magic, so Brutus bought a new spell before he left, Harden. Brutus could cast this on himself and gain a higher defense stat, though temporarily. Brutus took a wagon to the next city this time. In the wagon, though they passed people that looked like bandits, they did not attack. They must have a deal with the wagon owner not to attack. A few days of traveling in, on the side of the road was a broken down wagon. Brutus and his wagon driver got out to look at what had happened. It looked like a wheel was broken. Brutus asked if they had any metal with them or a sword or knife they did not need, and they handed him a rusty looking sword. Brutus using his Change Blade perk to shape the rusty sword in a way that would fix the wheel and applied it to the wheel. They looked shocked at what Brutus had done, but when he mentioned he was a level 100 swordsman they calmed down. But then they looked shocked again. Level 100 at his age. They had left the city Brutus was going to a few weeks ago and had almost made it to the next city when some bandits came by and broke the wheel to their wagon and then ran off. Brutus remembers the bandits they saw a few days ago. Brutus took a few thousand coins from his items and handed it to the man and told him to take it to get the wheel repaired. The people in the wagon were very thankful. Brutus received another status, Blessing of Greater Charity. This status gave him increased luck, much more than the few coins he gave the beggar. Brutus and the wagon driver continued on their way. The wagon driver heard that Brutus was a great dungeon diver, but he did not think he was the kind of person to give out thousands of coins to someone he just met. The journey continued mostly uninterrupted. In Brutus's hometown, the members of Wizards and Witches and whatever else were kicking themselves for not going with Brutus. The people in the school Brutus went to for one day were thinking to themselves, that the little kid who was there for one day did not drop out, he actually went to become an adventurer. In the town Brutus had stayed a year in, the other students were furious. Their parents sent them from many villages around to that town to learn to be a great swordsman, but the brat who only stayed a year is already famous. Even the teachers were jealous, but the headmaster just laughed. Anything with stats like those at a young age was destined to be great, even if they were just a kid. But they did wonder, what kind of technique did the kid learn to get his level 100 swordsman level, and in addition to that, a level 100 black mage. It was unusual for someone to get two jobs to level 100, exspecially when they are almost opposite jobs. The headmaster wondered if he was shooting for Paladin job, one that few people choose because overall it was only good more solo adventuring and was weaker than a Mage Swordsman team. Maybe Brutus was going to master all types of magic and types of weapons. It made the headmaster smile. The headmaster thought about what he did to reach level 100 swordsman an shuddered. No kid could ever do that. As Brutus and the wagon driver passed though a gate into the larger city, they were stopped. A guard asked them to produce ID which the Brutus and the wagon driver did. Brutus look out all three of this ID's and showed them to the guard. Level 100 Black mage Mage Guild card, level 100 Swordsman Adventurer's Guild card, level 46 Paladin Dungeon Diver Guild card. The wagon driver had only a level 26 transportation association card, so that was fine, but two level 100 cards and another at level 46? Impossible. Brutus was made to wait behind and he paid the wagon driver the rest of the money and he left. Someone came up to Brutus and cast a Greater Status on him, and his eyes widened. He told the guard to let him though, and Brutus entered the city. This city was indeed larger than the last, and there went any more vendors in the street. The entire street was being used for people to walk and for wagons to move. The first thing Brutus did was find a high class hotel and get a room. Brutus then went to a magic shop and looked at some of the spell books. Brutus bought as many as he could get. Heal Greater Wound, Greater Detect Status, Thunder, Revive, Reanimate Greater Dead, Soften and Summon: Minor Wolf. Heal Greater Wound would work exactly like the name. Greater Detect Status could show someone's stats page and their current job's level. Thunder was a long ranged shock spell that took mana proportional to how far the target was. The spell can not be stopped part way to a target so it is dangerous to use on far away enemies or in sky where it could drain the use mage's mana in one use. Revive is able to being people back to life who have died within 20 seconds. It was useful if used at the same time as a Heal Greater Wound, but it took massive mana to cast and the shop owner suggested that anyone other than a White Mage steer clear. Reanimate Greater Dead was used to turn dead monsters into slaves. Soften make hard things soft. Summon: Minor Wolf made a wolf appear in-front of Brutus and it would listen to his orders. Brutus could summon multiple Minor Wolfs, but his mana would not regenerate for the amount used to summon the wolf, which was quite a bit. From there Brutus went to a blacksmith to get better equipment. Brutus used ground enhancing on this equipment to fix the metal and then sold it to the shop so he could buy a big sword. It was about as big as him and very wide, supposedly it was so big because it was for swordsmen who wanted to fight hard armored enemies but did not want to use a hammer, and the side could be used as a shield. Brutus also bought a suit of armor made from a heavy steel, which surprised the shop owner at the choice of his. Brutus indeed has a STR that outclassed many people. The dungeon here was the 168 floor Snake dungeon. The boss of this dungeon was known to be a huge snake with diamond covered skin that could not be broken by any weapon. The only thing that worked on it was shock and thunder, but using magic 168 floors into the dungeon was almost impossible. The diamond snake had only been defeated by 4 people. Brutus was determined to be the 5th. The whole dungeon was a snake pit. There were hundreds or even thousands of snakes on each level, they came from the floor, the ceiling, the walls, everywhere. The only reason this dungeon was popular was because of the rare jeweled snake that could be killed and sold of quite a bit of money. It was lucky that Brutus had disease resistance, because he was bit by snakes very often. If not for Flame being able to burn them off, Brutus would have gotten some kind of incurable disease. Brutus tried going down with Flame Storm activated, but it used too much mana and he found himself almost out of it after only 10 floors. Brutus when back up and was determined to find a way the next day. Brutus stocked up on antidotes and went back down. Brutus used Fireball and the Fire Storm with his Spell Changer perk to make a moving fire storm go down the hallways as Brutus moved. This helped stop the Snakes, but after a while it was no longer effective. Brutus only got to level 35 this time. Brutus tried using more and more power, but he was unable to do it. But sure enough he got another idea. Brutus had another ability in addition to ground enhancing, and it was called water enhancing. This allowed him to freely manipulate water and turn it into steam or ice at will. He could even control ice and steam. Brutus used Blizzard to fill the hallway with snow, then used Ice shot to throw it at the wall, and then used water enhancing to make it cover the walls and the ceiling and the floor to prevent snakes from coming out. It was very cold in the dungeon now, but no more snakes were able to get to Brutus. As dungeon divers saw what Brutus was doing, they only stared in amazement at his mana capacity. Brutus safely descended to level 80 using this method, but then it became less useful. The snakes at this point were becoming resistant to the cold and breaking through the ice. But Brutus used his Harden spell on the ice he made and was then able to go another 20 levels. Finally level 100, and only 68 left to go. After a few more weeks Brutus was able to easily get to level 100 in about 2 days. Brutus updated his Dungeon Driver Guild card to show his deepest level was 100 floors. Brutus knew it was getting harder and tried to recruit some people to help, the only thing was that level 100 was almost impossible for most people in the dungeon. In fact only about 40 people have even gotten to it because of the immense amount of the snakes. 40 people have gotten to level 100 and only 4 of them have gotten to the final level and killed the boss. This dungeon was much harder than the last one Brutus tried. Brutus got back down to floor 100 and had a new idea. First he would use Fire Storm to fill the room with fire, then change it to ice shot which turned all the flame to ice, then he would fill every crack with it and use harden. As Brutus did this he felt another chime in his head. Brutus's level was still 87 Paladin, but he had a new perk, Simulcast. This perk allowed him to cast multiple spells at the same time. He must have overlapped two or more of his spells when trying out this new method. But this would make Brutus able to reach level 100 so he was glad. Using this method, Brutus was able to reach the 168th floor. Brutus went inside and saw a huge sleeping snake, with diamonds covering it's skin. The entire body was covered with diamonds and had no weak spots. Even the nose had diamonds going inside it. The snake opened its eyes to look at Brutus but then it went back to sleep. It must have been years sense someone had reached this floor. Brutus was now at level 99, he only needed to defeat the boss to get the last level. The first thing Brutus tried was to freeze it, but the snake did nothing. Then Brutus tried to use his fire attacks on it, but again nothing. Brutus remembered what the people said from when he first asked about the diamond snake, that it could be hurt with shock attacks, so Brutus cast thunder at it. The snake violently woke up and went to attack Brutus. Brutus jumped out of the way and used thunder again, and the snake was once again hurt, but it did not show signs of slowing down. Brutus and the diamond snake played this game for over an hour until Brutus saw something, that every time the diamond snake was shocked it would stretch a little bit and a small gap would appear in the diamonds. This could be Brutus's opportunity. Brutus used Thunder and then got close to the snake and used Changing Blade to make his sword have an incredibly thin tip on it and thrust it into the snake. As he did this, Brutus felt the shock from his thunder and was thrown back, and the snake rushed him again. Brutus's sword was still inside the diamond snake, But he needed something, to hit it with, so he put his hand on the ground and used ground enhancing to make a sword from the dungeon floor. Brutus used thunder again and stuck this sword into the diamond snake. Brutus could hear another chime but kept repeating this process. 3 hours later the diamond snake was starting to slow down and had hundreds of swords stuck inside it, most of them make thin like a needle. Brutus used a strong gravity attack on the snake to hold it down and get grabbed on to the first sword in the snake. Brutus used Changing Blade to expand the sword inside the snake and then expand the other swords it touched. Brutus finally killed the diamond snake. Brutus checked his level, Level 100 Paladin, and then he check his perks. There was a new one, Sword Birth. It allowed him to summon swords from any material. Brutus tried this, and instead of taking material from the wall, it make a sword from the same material as the wall. Brutus tested this ability with the diamond armor of the snake and was able to make a diamond sword. He tested the ability more and it seemed that if he did not pick up the sword for a minute, it would disappear, and if he let go, it would disappear. Brutus put the diamond snake into his inventory and went to look at the treasure. Inside was a mountain of items. It was enough to make anyone rich, but there was also a note. Congradulations on passing the Diamond Snake Dungeon. If you are reading this, you have found the loot in the dungeon after killing the diamond snake and now you want to take it right? Wrong. This is a trap. Once the loot is taken, a mountain of snakes even bigger than the diamond snake will come. The diamond snake is worth more than the treasure in here, so please leave with only it and do not sacrifice your life. Please a tally on the bottom of this note once you have finished reading it to show that you have read it to future dungeon divers. I fear others will not accept this note as fact and will try to take the treasure anyway, resulting in their death. Sincerely, The first Dungeon Diver to kill the diamond snake. There were over 20 tallies at the bottom of the note. Because only 4 people have ever passed the dungeon, the other 15 or so must have taken the treasure and died. But Brutus wanted the treasure. He had a technique for killing large amounts of snakes quickly, so maybe it would be alright. Brutus checked his stats and used a mana potion to refill is MP and a health potion. The first thing Brutus did was use fire storm on the entire rooms sides. Then Brutus changed it to ice and used harden. The next thing Brutus did was exactly as the note told him not to do, to take the treasure. As Brutus left the treasure chest, it disappeared and reviled a large hole under it. That hole was not there earlier, but as soon as he saw it, something started moving inside it. Brutus quickly used gravity on the the hole with as much power as he had and gazed in horror and thousands of smaller diamond snakes rushed came to the top, only to fall down because of the gravity spell. Brutus then put ice on the sides of the hole and watched as the snakes fell down quicker. But this was not the end for Brutus. This could be another treasure room, or a mother to all the snakes. It was rather unusual for so many snakes to be in one dungeon. Soon the entire hole was filled with snakes that couldn't leave due to the gravity spell so Brutus had to leave before they broke out. Brutus went back to the surface with all the treasure and the diamond snake in his items. Brutus came from the dungeon and it was early in the morning. There was only a few people in the guild, but as Brutus got his card updated and his floor moved to completed, Everyone gathered around him. In addition to that, being a level 100 Paladin was special in it's own rite. Brutus was greeted by the guild master of the city, who was the last person before Brutus to defeat the diamond snake. The guild master asked Brutus how he was able to kill it and Brutus told him by using openings when it was shocked to stick swords in it's skin, then Brutus showed off his Paladin ability, the Sword Birth as he made a sword from the glass counter. The guild master showed Brutus his ability, the Autoblade. The guild master stuck out his hands and from then two swords were produced. His ability as a master swordsman allowed him to produce swords from his body. When he went to attack the diamond snake, he saw the only thing that didn't have diamonds was deep inside it's body, so he allowed himself to get eaten and took all the swords from his inventory and pierced the diamond snake from the inside with them. It was a dangerous move, and he would never do it again, but it got him to level 100. The guild master asked about Brutus's swordsman level, and Brutus brought out his Adventurer's guild card. Level 100 swordsman. Brutus then showed the changing blade as he made his sword into a thin needle. Everyone was shocked at what was happening. Brutus had two perks that were impossible to obtain. Everyone went outside the guild as Brutus went to show them the diamond snake, but the guild master took him aside and told him not to tell anyone about the note. It was better if people had something to work for. Brutus told him he ignored the note and took the treasure anyway and got away fine. The guild master stood in shock as Brutus left to the outside. The street was mostly empty so early in the morning, and Brutus pulled the diamond snake from his items. It took up almost the entire street. At this sight, people started to come from the the buildings to look at it, and at that moment Brutus suddenly realized he forgot to use a soul gem on it. Brutus yelled out how angry he was and that he would have to go back to fill a soul gem. Brutus called some guards over and told them people were free to take from the diamond snake as they pleased, and Brutus pulled off some large diamonds for himself and went to the inn he was staying in. When Brutus woke up, the giant snake was still in the street and people were trying to pull off the diamonds. It was already afternoon so Brutus went to the magic shop and bought a few soul gems. Brutus then tried to sell the items he got from the dungeon. Brutus was going to wear some of it, but for some reason the idea of wearing the armor someone died in just felt wrong. Brutus was able to sell most of it, but some pieces were just too expensive for the shops to buy. Indeed dungeon divers from all over had come to the Diamond snake dungeon to make a fortune from the diamond snake, but even 15 of those who were strong enough to defeat it fell prey to the trapped treasure. Brutus rested for a few days and looked at this jobs. Black Mage: 100, Swordsman: 100, Paladin: 100, Monk: 0, Hero: 0, Gray Mage: 0, White Mage: 0. Brutus was not interested in the gray or white mage, but monk and hero were both new to him since he got Paladin. He wondered when he unlocked them. Hero was probably when he helped someone, and Monk was probably when he punched something, but he could not tell. It seems take whenever an action is done that fits into a job class, the job is unlocked for it. Paladin was the most useful one right now, but Hero... What could Hero let him so. It sure would be funny if he was some legendary Hero type who saves the world from the Emperor of Evil. But there was no Emperor of Evil. The only race Brutus had seen other than human was the beast men, but they integrated with society well enough. Brutus would be 8 years old in a few months, so maybe he would try and travel incognito for a while and see what kind of thing he can do as a hero. While he was at it, Brutus decided to focus on monk now. Right now in his inventory is his swordsman gear, his mage gear, a bunch of health and mana potions, a bunch of antidotes, a few soul gems and diamonds, and many items from the treasure of the dungeon that he could not sell. Brutus would need to visit a new city soon, one even bigger than this. One with more magic. Brutus went into the dungeon again and easily got to the last floor. With simulcast, it was easy to freeze the holes in the wall. Brutus changed his job to monk as he entered the boss room and dodged the diamond snake easily. He was not able to use magic this time against it, so he got up close to it and punched it while activating sword birth. A sword materialized inside the snake make from diamonds and tore it to shreds from the inside. Brutus repeated this and killed the snake faster than last time. Brutus looked at his level and was already level 33 Monk. There was a few things in the treasure chest, but he left it alone this time. Without his magic, there was no way he could escape those snakes. Brutus took the snake up and sold it for himself this time, but there was nobody willing to buy it. After the most recent snake had been taken up and sold, there was not more room on the market for a second one. It would be years until anyone wanted to buy diamonds from the diamond snake and could not get them easily. Brutus had an idea. If nobody wanted to buy the diamonds, maybe they would like the buy the whole snake. Brutus had the Dungeon Diving Guild set up an auction for the entire whole body of the diamond snake. The auction was going to be held outside the city just because of how large the snake is. The estimated value of the snake was over 100 million coins. 3 days till the auction. Brutus is constantly being hounded with offers to join parties. Brutus has no interest. People want to see the sword birth technique and the changing blade technique, but once Brutus lets go of the sword it goes back to normal. 2 days until auction. Brutus has issued the challenge that he will join a party with whomever can beat him in a fist fight. Unfortunately for Brutus he is only almost 8 years old. Unfortunately for everyone else, Brutus has the STR stat of a 20 year old, on top of that, the sword birth skill can be activated by punch a material to produce a sword on the other side. Nobody can beat Brutus, and his Monk level increases even more. Level 42 Monk. 1 day until auction. People are still trying to fight Brutus. The beast men are hard to fight because some of them have claws and some have scaled skin, but Brutus also has a high speed stat and can hit them in the vulnerable places. Brutus helps make the auction area, and using his fist he can cut down trees. It only hurts a little bit. The day of the auction, only 100 people are allowed to enter with a minimum amount of 10 million coins on hand. Several wealthy people come with servants, but the servants are turned away because only one person per group can enter. The effect of this is the 100 richest people in the city gathering to buy the diamond snake whole. Once the bidding starts, it goes up quickly. The bids have already reached 100 million coins, and some people are already out of the race. 200 million coins and there only two people left bidding. The auction ends at 230 million coins. The one who bought the diamond snake was an old man, but he happily payed the 230 million coins for the diamond snake. Everyone left as Brutus discuses how he was going to transport it. The snake is far too large and too heavy to go on any single wagon, so a team of wagons would need to be used, the man is saying, but Brutus has another idea. Brutus is going to enchant some boots with increase carry weight and then give it to the old man to carry. The snake has an estimated weight of 16,000 down. Brutus is able to enchant 3,000 down with a single increase carry weight enchantment, and the current system allows 6 body pieces to be worn worth the increase weight enchantment and 8 rings and a large amount of necklaces. Brutus currently has a carry eight of around 26,000 down with his enchantments, but in the gear he took from the treasure chest, there was a necklace of 10,000 down capacity. This was probably someone who wanted to bring the who snake up too. This would cost almost a million coins to buy at a shop which was why he couldn't sell it, but he was sure it would have it's use like right now. Brutus gave one of the servants the necklace and a few other things with increase carry weight on them, and he was able to put the snake in his items. The servant is now carrying a 230 million dollar dead animal inside a magical necklace. Brutus said goodbye to the old man and his servants and he left. Brutus waited until he was 8 years old before leaving the city, and in the mean time he had killed the diamond snake 3 more times as a monk and leveled up to 78. Brutus would then fill the diamond snake with fire and take all the diamonds on it with him. Brutus thought about going to another dungeon city, but he wanted to get some more magic. Sure, his simulcast was strong, but native magic that had the same effects would be stronger and take less magic, plus if he found something like gravity it would be great. Brutus gave some money to the beggars and left the city a few days after his birthday. Destination: Home.
