Leveled 6

Brutus first went to the recruitment center for the college it was a lot like the mage guild. Brutus showed them his mage guild ID that showed him as a level 100 Black Mage, but also being a 7 year old. The recruiter requested to test it again and Brutus accepted after changing his Job to White Mage. Level 100 White Mage was on the card. It was amazing to be a level 100 Black Mage and level 100 White Mage. Brutus kept it quite about being a level 100 Swordsman, Monk, Paladin, and Hero. He was glad Greater Detect Status could not find your other jobs. It could find your perks, but Brutus only allowed a regular Detect Status. Brutus then was admitted into the regular class. The mage college was not like any other school. It had thousands of mage students who were working to discover new magic and magic techniques. Reaching level 100 was usually kept as a trade secret, but at the mage college they openly shared ways to get to level 100. Being able to choose between many ways of reaching level 100 was the main attraction of going to the college. Members of the college could receive training on how to perfect a technique and reach level 100. Brutus did not need these though, and he wouldn't be telling anyone how he got to level 100 himself. Brutus changed to Gray Mage. It was the last mage type he could level up. After this, Brutus would see if he could perfect Death. Brutus went to the college store. This was were the most spells in the whole world were sold. Brutus bought many scrolls to enchant items with and many spell books including; Incinerate, Freeze, Paralyze, Sleep, Poison, Summon: Greater Wolf, Summon: Greater Skeleton, Summon: Greater Giant, Summon: Greater Rocke, Summon: Greater Dragon, Fly, Telekinesis, Repair, and lastly Haste. These were all great spells, the summoning spells could be used is many situations and the Rocke and Dragon can both fly. Speaking of flying, there is a spell for flying. And a spell to fix things, and one to use telekinesis. Fly, Telekinesis, Repair, and Haste are all Gray Mage magic. If it wasn't for the large cost of the spell books and the huge mana cost, being a Gray Mage would be the most popular. Only Brutus with his abnormally large mana pool would be able to use these spells for very long though. Repair was particularly greedy with mana. A single cast could cost hundreds of MP to repair a small crack. Brutus was able to use these spells freely though because of his huge mana pool. Even before the Blessings of Winrar, Brutus's god had been giving him special power. Brutus went to test out Fly, just it was not anything like he hoped it was. Fly just made him levitate. Sure if he got a running start and jumped and then cast it he would go for a while, but it ran out after about 20 seconds and cost a lot of mana relative to a normal person. Fly just seemed to negate the effects of gravity. To fix this, Brutus used another ability he had. Just like ground and water enhancing, Brutus had a third enhancement. Wind. Contrary to common belief, being able to control the wind does not make one able to fly or make invisible blades. At most it could push someone pretty far or really mess up their hair. But with the fly spell and wind enhancing, Brutus would be able to fly without a problem. Brutus took a class about things to do with fire magic. There are a few ways to use fire magic. It can be used to produce fire of course, but it can also effect the temperature of things around it. Fire magic is most commonly used to light things on fire, but if the spell is used only partially, then it can be used to only heat things, for instance heating the bath. While water magic is not a thing, being able to merge fire magic and ice magic can create water. This is stuff Brutus already knows. It seems like the only reason to be at the mage college was to get more spells. Brutus was about to leave when he saw someone he knew. From the club. James, Sarah, and Mark were black mages a long time ago in Brutus's home town, but on the field in front of him was Sarah practicing fireballs. Brutus said high, and after a bit of thinking they recognized him. Brutus must have been able to recognize them fast because of his high INT. Sarah was exited to see him and took him to see James and Mark who were also at the mage college. The two of them went to the boys dorm at found James' and Mark's shared room. James and Mark were both using Telekinesis on some papers in the room. They greeted Brutus at the door and welcomed them inside. Brutus told them about the journey he had been on, but he left out the part about his involvement in the war and the jobs he got from it. Sarah was a Black Mage and Brutus, James, and Mark were Gray Mages. James and Mark were level 4 Gray Mages and Sarah was now a level 36 Black Mage. Hearing this, Brutus must really be special to have already maxed so many jobs. James and Mark could only afford the Telekinesis spell and they were working to get to buy another spell. Sarah though had the two fire spells she knew when they were little and also knew Frost and Ice Shot in addition to those. Brutus was really rich though, so he pulled out a few million coins and gave them to Mark and told him to go to the store and get whatever he wanted with it. Everyone was shocked to see so much money. Brutus then invited them to go dungeon diving with him to show then how easy it was to get money. The trio thought they were really lucky to know Brutus when he was younger, it was looking impossible for them to get more spells with the current situation, only being able to get a few hundred joins per quest, and even then the quest took them all day to complete. They couldn't even take on monster slaying quest because two of them had non combat jobs. Brutus was a little shocked when they said non combat, because a gray mage was an absolute supporter type. Brutus showed them him using Haste on them and then pulled his sword from his items. Brutus was now twice as fast as before. With the Haste spell, a party would be able to go twice as far into a dungeon as without it. The trio told Brutus about the only dungeon in the city, the Magic Labyrinth, and decided to meet him there in 2 hours once they had bought new spells. The Labyrinth was a legendary 1512 floor dungeon that no person had ever seen the boss of. Parties of over 100 would try and complete the dungeon, and would give up after 100 floors. There were even some small towns in the Labyrinth due to the size of it. If a normal dungeon took 8 hours to pass 20 floors, the labyrinth took the same amount of hours to pass a single floor because of the maze structure of the floors. The floors can't be mapped though, because the walls are constantly moving. The entire foundation of the mage college was based on assembling people to help defeat the dungeon, but it has never been done. There are rest spots every 10 floors though, floors 10, 20, 30 and so on that do not move so towns have been made on these floors. Brutus went to the dungeon entrance and was prepared to enter when he remembered he was waiting for the trio. Brutus had not acted in a group in... well ever. The trip arrived with new cloths as well. Brutus did not mind though, even though he had the No Reward perk he could still get money from selling things, and he always had things to sell. As they went into the dungeon Brutus saw the walls moving. According to Mark, the walls moved slowly on the first floor, but the move slightly faster every floor. It is speculated that on the floors past 1000, if the person did not have lightning reflexes they would be squashed by moving walls that occasionally collide with each other and make dead ends. Oh and the labyrinth's monsters? Slimes. The legendary monsters of the legendary dungeon are slimes. They are not weak though, and they can slide through cracks in the walls and surround dungeon divers. They are very similar to the snakes of the 168 floor snake dungeon, but the slimes are not effected by physical damage, a slime cut in half is just two slimes. Unless it is magic, slime wins every time. Fortunately for Brutus, he is strong enough to use magic inside the dungeon, but for everyone else, not so much. Only the strongest of the college are able to pass though the dungeon to the lower levels. But if it was so hard to make it down to lower floors, why are there towns in the dungeon? Slimes are what are used to make magic scrolls and books. As they go inside the first floor, the slimes are very small. This is because they have been hit so much and get stepped on that they are small. Brutus and the trio are able to make it to the 10th floor. The town on the 10th floor is very bright, and had metal covering the ceiling and the floor and walls. This is to stop slimes from coming in. On this floor, they are able to buy extra supplies for going further. They try to go further but it ends up taking too long. James and Mark explain that someone with telekinesis would be able to hold the moving walls in place so that a Black Mage could go past, but here the trio is too weak to keep going. These same rules do not apply to Brutus though, and as he extends his hand he uses Group Casting to make dozens of telekinesis hands to keep the walls in place and Simulcasting to cast Fireball on a slime that had shown itself. Brutus warns them that they should go back though, because Brutus has abnormally high stats he would be fine going further, but not them. They agree and tell Brutus to come by the room sometime. Brutus keeps going in the maze to try and find the next level down. It takes Brutus almost 3 hours to find the next floor. If not for his high INT and his magic holding the walls in place, it could have taken much longer. Brutus changes his job to Hero and rushes the next few floors till floor 20, and another town. Brutus changes back to Gray Mage and looks around. It seems there are people looking to go further down, and Brutus tags along with them as a Gray Mage. Brutus is holding back the walls from moving while a team of quite a few people are ahead of them clearing slimes. Instead of magic though, they are using old fashion torches. Though flame magic does not seem to make smoke, flame from the torch does and it is filling the floor. The team is using a line of yellow paint on the ground to tell where they had been, and it is working fine. There is no other paint because the moving walls have scratched it all off. As they get further in the dungeon though, it is harder for the mages to hold back the walls. Brutus using Group Casting though is not having any problem. Maybe it is because he has already shown being able to go 168 floor and still use magic. In any case, the group manages to get to the 30th floor. Another town, and they need to rest. The group stopped on this floor and Brutus checked his Gray Mage level. Already Brutus was a level 24 Gray Mage. The group waited for a while before leaving the 30th floor to reach the 40th. It took days to get from one town to the next, and sleeping was not possible in the dungeon were a wall could move and crush you. The slimes were getting stronger too, very difficult to kill with just regular fire. They did get to the 40th floor, and this was the last town in the dungeon. Brutus split off from the ground and said he was willing to take whomever wanted to come with him, but he intended to go all the way and not come back until he defeated the boss. One person stayed with Brutus. She was a Gray mage just like Brutus currently was, about 25 years old. They stayed in the town for a day and collected food for a few days worth and went down. On the next floor, Brutus and the woman spoke about their intentions. The woman was a level 78 Gray Mage who was traveling the dungeon to learn more about the nature of it when she felt the intense magical energy in Brutus. Brutus used a Greater Detect Status on her, and she had a perk called Lesser Detect Status. It must be some kind of passive ability that checks statuses. Brutus told her he was a level 100 black and white mage and intended to level up Gray Mage to 100 by finishing this dungeon. She laughed, but she also had an abnormally high mana and MAG levels so she would try and follow him. She only had a few levels in the Black Mage and White Mage jobs, and she knew how difficult it was to reach level 100. But she worried about food and they only bought a few days worth. Brutus showed her he had years worth of food and could carry 80,000 down. Even if they both ate 10 pounds of food a day, they could last over a year in the dungeon. They started moving through the dungeon and Brutus explained and used his Group Casting while holding back the walls. The woman was excited to hear about such a perk. To be able to use hundreds of copies of a spell and only use the mana for one cast was hugely benificial. Brutus walked though the dungeon floors easily holding back the walls and holding onto the slimes. They were a few floors down now and Brutus let her cast a Greater Detect Status spell on him. She was shocked even more. Those stats were much higher than her own. Brutus wanted her to know that he really did intend to go the entire way down. On the surface it had been several days since Brutus went into the labyrinth. It is normal to spend month in the labyrinth, but the trio could not help but feel a little guilty about leading their friend to his death. They resolved to train extra hard. So much for joining the college Brutus thought as he went down further. They reached the 50th floor quickly with nobody holding Brutus back. Brutus reached level 43 Gray Mage. It was taking them an average of three days to go 10 floors down, which was a little better than 8 hours a floor. On the 80th floor, Brutus decided to pick up the pace. He was a level 75 Gray Mage now, and he was having trouble keeping the slimes back, but the woman was just following him and trying to not step on the piles of separated slime piles Brutus left. Brutus was not killing the slimes, he was just making them very small. This kind of attack would not work on a monster with a solid body, but the slime easily separated. Brutus sent his many telekinesis hands around the turns of the dungeon floor and eventually found a spot were they dropped. Brutus followed the path of this particular arm and found the stairs down. It only took 20 minutes at the most, but it was using almost a thousand telekinesis hands. If not for his high MAG and INT, this would never work. Brutus and the woman reached the 90th floor in a few hours. Brutus was having a difficult time killing slimes, and his level was only at 81 now. Brutus thought about changing to Death, but it was too powerful, so he went with Hero. Brutus told the woman he was going to use a different Job so be prepared for things to speed up. Brutus now used the incinerate spell on the slimes and used telekinesis to find the way out. They were doing each floor in only a few minutes if they ran. Hero was even a little bit stronger than Gray Mage at using gray magic. It has been over a week on the surface and the group Brutus joined up with has come back from the dungeon. The trio ask if there was a gray mage about their age that went past them, and they said yeah, dumb kid wanted to do the whole thing. The group left and the trio felt worried. Doing the entire thing was impossible. Not even those stats would be able to push pass the magic suppression of the dungeon. A month has passed. Brutus and the woman are on the 230th floor. They are resting longer every 10 floors because Brutus is showing signs of fatigue. The gray mage is amazed at the speed they are going. The increased strength perk must not be referring to STR but something mental she thought. In one more month, they have reached the 500th floor. It is the furthest anyone has ever gotten the woman thinks, and Brutus is getting more tired every 10 floors. They are having to stop for the day every 10 floors even though it is only taking a few hours to get between them. On the 510th floor, Brutus tells the woman he is going to change his job again, but he does not want her to use any detect status on him. Brutus changes his job to Death and a small shock wave hits the woman. She is pushed back a little bit, but she respects Brutus more than anyone in the world at this moment and does not use any detect spell on him. She tries to follow him closely, but getting within a few feet of him she feels pushed away like there is some kind of evil aura surrounding him. With his Death job, Brutus feels at full power again and makes it through the levels with a breeze. He doesn't even need to cast any Black magic, just by wanting them dead the slimes and dying. Brutus can feel something is going on with the woman behind him, and is probably has something to do with the job. The last time Brutus used it he was killing thousands of people, which made him check his job level. Level 6 Death. Brutus must have killed quite a few slimes for this to happen. They go down many more floors with this job and don't need to stop until every 40 floors. Another month passes and they are on the 1500th floor. It is 11 more floors and then the boss level. Brutus gets an idea, if nobody has ever gotten to the bottom before, how did they know how big the dungeon was? Brutus ignores this and he and the woman sleep on the 1500th floor. The next morning they go to the 1510th floor and rest again. One floor with moving walls and then the boss. Just to see how things were happening, the walls on these floors moved extremely fast. They were making a huge amount of noise that they had a hard time sleeping, the only way they could do it was if Brutus cast sleep on both of them. Sleep is a Black magic so the woman could not use it as a gray mage. On the last moving wall floor, Brutus leaves the woman on the staircase to the 1512th floor. The next floor was going to be the boss if they had the number of floors right and he wanted her to be safe, and he was going to be using the weaker job Gray mage to kill the boss. He had a soul gem out too, just to make sure he didn't forget to capture it's soul. Brutus went into the room alone and saw the final boss, a.... another slime. This one was larger though. Brutus cut it in half like he did the rest, but when it went into smaller pieces it would just regrow both haves. Brutus used sword birth and took the swords in his telekinesis hands and used them to cut the slime many times which turned it into many more slimes that grew to the same size as the original. Brutus then used fly on himself went above the slimes. This was getting bad though, he was already half way out of mana and it had only been a few minutes. Brutus kept cutting the slime with his telekinesis hands until it filled the entire room's floor. Then Brutus made a chair using ground enhancing on the wall and sat above the hundreds of slimes below him. Each was just was powerful as the original and now there was hundreds. Brutus kept cutting the slimes though, maybe they would stop growing. Slowly the room filled with slimes. Brutus was now only a few feet from the slimes. Technically, Gravity is a Black Mage spell, but flight is the opposite of it and is a Gray Mage spell. Brutus waited for his MP to recover and cast a gravity spell at the bottom of the slimes and cut them more on the bottom. The slimes started to compact. Using his ground enhancing, Brutus made the walls flat and then used Changing Blade on a Birthed Sword so that he could push the slimes down. Brutus could hear the slimes popping at the bottom, and he hoped they would not come back. Just to be safe though, Brutus sword birthed the ground and made many slimes get cut from the swords. This caused many more to grow and many more pops. Brutus did this with every side of the box he had made and then using telekinesis hands he pushed the plat into the ground. The popping became very loud and then Brutus saw even after resting mid fight his mana was almost all gone. Brutus put the plate back to a normal sword and looked at what was left of the slime. Many blue hard rocks were on the ground. They must be from the slimes. Brutus took them and looked for a treasure chest and remembered the job levels, but he didn't hear a chime. Sure enough Brutus was a level 99 Gray Mage. Brutus looked at the treasure chest. It would have been under the plate made from the sword, but it appears it only materialized after the plate was moved. To think, the items Brutus carried and the menu's were like that, they were real but did not have a physical form. Brutus thought about this for a while and heard a chime. Brutus checked what the chime was, and he had reached level 100 Gray Mage but he didn't do anything other than think about how certain things could actually exist without having a physical form sometimes. Brutus checked his perks, Rift Traveler. Brutus thought it would be cool if this let him get back to the surface and slowly a picture of the outside was floating in front of him, like a doorway, and a little off the floor. Brutus changed his mind, it would be cool if he could get back to the woman on the floor above him, and another door took the previous's place that showed the woman sitting against the wall. Waited for a second and went to take the treasure, but then he remembered about the snake trap and he changed to the Death job and took the treasure. But it was too much. Not even 80,000 down could carry it all. Luckily, he filled the soul gem with the soul from the slime so he should have quite the carry capacity the next time he enchants with it. Brutus opened a rift to the woman and tried speaking into to to tell her to come down to the boss floor. She seemed to hear it and she came down. When she came down, she was looking at Brutus talking to the wall. Brutus told her to take as much treasure as she could carry. Brutus got most of it, and the woman took a bit more, but then she saw Brutus had dumped the food on the ground. She yelled at him that food was more important than treasure if they wanted to get out of the dungeon alive but Brutus laughed at that. He told her to hold on tight and he took a step forward. In the next instant she felt a flood magic power flow into her and she was on the surface. The first thing she suspected was time having stopped and Brutus having taken her up the entire way by himself, but it would take months to do that and being alone in the darkness for months... Brutus told her it was only a few seconds and they were there. Brutus laughed bigger than before and said goodbye. He waved and was gone the next second. He must have really done it, level 100 Gray Mage, in addition to Black and White. With this he should have unlocked... Brutus was now in the boys dorm. The first thing he did was knock on the door and enter to see James and Mark practicing their magic. Brutus asked where Sarah was and they said probably in the courtyard practicing and Brutus told them he would be back in a second. Brutus looked like he was taking a step forward and was gone. Teleportation and Invisibility are not known magics, so they had no idea what happened. Brutus appeared on the field and told Sarah to grab onto him she was shocked to so suddenly see him and hugged him, thinking this was good enough Brutus took a step forward and was back in the dorm room. Sarah was slightly embarrassed when she saw James and Mark looking at her, and then came the look of surprise on everyone's face. How did Brutus get from the dorm room to the field and then back to the dorm room in less and a minute.
