Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 6 - Level Up, Totems, And More

-----

I heal myself with the potion, which had a sweet flavor and blue color and then decide to drink some more blood.

I glance around the room, everything seems back to normal, the traps had been deactivated when I touched the chest, how miraculous.

This room is similar to the first one, it is around 20 x 20 and made entirely out of old brown bricks covered in mold. There are faint lights emanated from six torches stuck to the left and right walls.

There is a strange and cold atmosphere to this whole thing, which only makes me feel more uncomfortable.

My entire body aches, I am incredibly tired.

So this is the challenge I have to go through before getting to summon something, gods.

And this is the tutorial dungeon?

How will I be able to complete the next two rooms?

What if I meet a Boss monster? How can I even beat a Boss Monster myself?

I would quite literally just die, drop dead.

Well, I discovered something while resting near the chest.

[Time Limit: 46 Minutes]

There is a time limit to enter Dungeons, this little tamer has been resting above my head all this time and I just noticed.

If I don't complete the dungeon in an hour, I will be thrown away back from where I came from.

In theory, if I want to quit, I can just sleep here for 46 minutes.

But what would be the point in that?

In six days and a few hours, the world will most likely end and chaos will unfold everywhere.

I don't want to waste a single opportunity to grow stronger until then.

I really don't.

I slowly stand up as my body still aches a bit, but I endure the pain ad clench my fists.

I am going to grab those 20 Orbs at all costs.

As a summoner that gets monsters through a gacha, the most obvious thing I need to do is to… well, summon.

I suck by my won, but my strength is within summoning beings that can aid me… through gacha hell.

Maybe I could also get body tempering items through the Gacha? That would be certainly nice.

…But I shouldn't get my hopes up.

A smile surges through my lips as I glance at the door with blazing resolve.

Very well then, bring it on, Room 3.

I move my legs as I step into the new room, a second after, the door behind me closes and disappears, leaving the empty wall behind…

The room seems… normal, like all the ones before.

Ding!

[Welcome to Room 3 of the Tutorial Dungeon!]

[In this room, you will learn about the importance of totems]

Totems?

[Totems are special structures you can randomly find inside dungeon rooms, which grant a varied array of boosts into your Stats or even heal your HP and MP!]

Seriously? This is the first time that it is something nice.

[However, Totems are rare, and often are protected by a large band of monsters, be careful!]

[Defeat all monsters and use the Totems to your advantage!]

[Good luck!]

Suddenly, right after the System said "good luck!" sadistically, several magic circles emerge over the floor all around the room.

Three large pillars made of blue, semi-transparent jewels appeared in the middle and at the left and right corner of the room right in front of me.

They had a large, green-colored crystal ball atop them, these must be the Totems, they all had some kind of strange presence, even magical…

And then, the other magic circles summoned my foes… 10 Horned Rabbits.

I can see why I would need the damn totems to fight them, they are way too many!

The adorable, white-furred rabbits with gleaming crimson eyes and large horns glare at me with bloodthirst.

They are perhaps only of the size of a house cat, but they are quite strong and fast!

They all begin to charge directly at me, 10 of them at the same time!

I quickly jump away with all of my might, and then I see how the rabbits trip all over the other.

Because they obey the same pattern, they get into the way of their ally without realizing it and end up ruining their charge.

I see two rabbits that were rolled into the ground near me, and I took this opportunity as the opportunistic bastard I am.

I move my legs with all of my strength as I heard the sound of my sneakers hitting the cold floor of the dungeon, my steps reach the rabbit nearest to me, as I raise my arms and my bloody bat gleam through the reflected light from the torches!

Here we go!

I move my bat into the rabbit's body, hitting it continuously, each hit cracks something inside the rabbit, and I hit it four times in a row!

Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!

Those were around 6 seconds, the rabbit quickly explodes into black smoke, as I feel the rush of Experience Points fill my body.

[You gained a small amount of EXP]

[You gained +1 Skill Point]

[You leveled up to Level 2!]

[All of your Stats have increased!]

[Your health and mana have been recovered!]

Oh? Finally, I leveled up.

I needed to kill four of these rascals, I guess.

Also, it seems that level ups recover HP and MP, that's incredibly convenient.

"KYUUU!"

The rabbit that was near me that had also rolled had already gotten back up, and so did the pile of 8 rabbits behind him.

They glare at me with anger as they rush towards me together!

I clench my teeth as I begin to run away for my life once more.

I suddenly feel as if I am… slightly lighter?

And also strangely more perceptive.

Is this the almighty power of leveling up?

Indeed, it said that all my Stats increased, but I have no time to check how much exactly!

I glare behind me as the rabbits approach me, I quickly jump to the left, and the rabbits all hit the wall behind me, many rolling out once more.

I guess this is the pattern I have to use, let them charge, hit the wall, roll out while feeling dizzy, and then I kill them one by one!

A sick smile emerges on my face as I have figured out the way out of this situation.

However, I find that there is a totem near me, and I quickly touch it to see its effects!

Ding!

[You have touched the [Strength and Dexterity Totem]! Strength and Dexterity +20% for 10 minutes]

A faint light rushes into my body as it enhances my entire body.

The totem light and luster quickly fade away, as if it had been turned off.

So this is the power of totems!

I quickly move near the rabbit in front of me who had rolled and was still quite dizzy, as my eyes gleam with malice. I raise my bat and hit it with all my strength!

CRASH!

"KYUUU…!"

The rabbit groans in pain as I crushed its head… it was one hit kill!

More EXP rushes into my body as I glance at the prey in front of me, with 8 more to go.
