The night sky twinkled with a multitude of stars, painting a breathtaking scene above.

Each star shimmered with its own brilliance, casting a soft glow upon the darkness. They seemed to dance and twinkle, as if telling a secret story known only to the night. The vast expanse of the sky was adorned with these celestial gems, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of light. It was a sight that captured the imagination and evoked a sense of wonder in anyone who gazed upon it.

The night with stars was a reminder of the infinite beauty and mysteries that lay beyond our reach, a reminder that we are just a small part of a vast and wondrous universe.

Noah sat on his bed listening to a song, he didn't feel sleepy. The soft melody filled the room, wrapping him in a comforting embrace. As the music played, Noah's mind wandered, carried away by the lyrics and the rhythm.

Outside his window, the city lights twinkled like stars in the night sky. Noah's thoughts drifted to the events of the day, replaying conversations and moments in his mind. The song acted as a soundtrack to his memories, each note resonating with the emotions he felt.

Lost in the music, Noah's imagination began to soar. The lyrics painted vivid pictures in his mind, bringing stories to life before his eyes. He could almost see the characters dancing and the scenes unfolding like a movie.

As the song reached its crescendo, Noah closed his eyes and let himself be carried away by the music. His body swayed gently to the rhythm, his mind transported to a world beyond his bedroom walls.

Hours passed, but Noah remained captivated by the song. It was as if time had stopped, and he was suspended in a timeless moment of pure bliss. The song became his sanctuary, a refuge from the worries and stresses of the day.

Eventually, as the final notes faded into silence, Noah opened his eyes and let out a content sigh. The world around him seemed a little brighter, a little more alive. He realized that music had a way of rejuvenating his spirit, of igniting a spark of creativity and inspiration within him.

''Time to sleep.'' Noah drifted to sleep soon.

The next morning, Noah rose and followed his usual morning routine before preparing for his bath. As he sipped on a latte and nibbled on some cookies, Noah began to ponder and strategize his plans for the day.

Suddenly, the automated voice of the system echoed through the room.

[Ding! New objective: Achieve level 37 within 24 hours.

Additional reward: Flame Art: The ability to use flame with your weapon.]

[Special offer: Super Exp Booster available at a discounted price of 10,000 Gold instead of 20,000 Gold, valid for one day only.]

Noah, who felt a surge of excitement upon receiving a mission after a while, couldn't help but express frustration at the system's relentless attempts to deplete his gold reserves. However, he managed to regain his composure, purchased the Super Exp Booster, and made his way to the Tower of Trials.

°°°°

Tower of Trials, 3rd Floor.

The battlefield was consumed by darkness. Noah, the Night's master, unleashed his signature move - the Night of Death. A dense, black inkiness engulfed the surroundings, spanning an astonishing 300 meters. The orcs, who had just been charging with bloodlust, were now engulfed in a sudden, disorienting blindness.

This was Noah's moment. With his dual swords gleaming in the shadows, invisible to his blinded enemies, he initiated a whirlwind assault. The clash of metal reverberated through the heavy atmosphere, punctuated by the startled grunts of orcs being slain in the obscurity. Noah moved like a phantom, each of his strikes precise and lethal.

Deprived of sight and thrown into chaos, the orcs could only respond with panicked swings of their weapons, blindly thrashing at their unseen assailant. Their roars transformed into desperate cries, their confidence shattered by the abrupt shift in power.

The symphony of metal clashes grew even more intense as Noah gracefully danced his way through the orcs. In a deadly ballet, he maneuvered with precision and grace, evading their swings and strikes. One orc, relying on his instincts rather than sight, swung his massive axe in a wide arc, aiming to strike down his elusive opponent.

With a swift and fluid movement, Noah gracefully ducked beneath the swing, feeling the rush of wind from the passing weapon brushing against his cloak.

Seizing the opportunity, Noah swiftly retaliated with a lightning-fast thrust, his off-hand sword finding its mark with deadly accuracy, piercing deep into the orc's side. A choked gurgle escaped the orc's throat as it crumpled to the ground, its life force diminishing rapidly.

In the aftermath of the battle, the defeated orc lay on the ground, disoriented and whimpering, as Noah's arrow pierced its heart. Noah, his breaths ragged but movements still precise, extinguished the Night of Death with his unwavering determination.

The moonlight, filtering through the canopy above the battlefield, revealed a gruesome scene. The clearing was scattered with the lifeless bodies of orcs, but there was no time for celebration. As Noah wiped the sweat from his brow, a tremor shook the ground, and a guttural roar, unlike anything he had ever heard before, pierced through the night.

Noah turned his gaze towards the source of the sound and witnessed a colossal figure emerging from the shadows. This was no ordinary orc; it was the boss of the floor, the Twin Ogre, a C-rank monster known for its immense power. Towering twice the size of a regular ogre, its muscular form was covered in thick, matted fur.

Two monstrous heads sprouted from its shoulders, each with gnashing teeth and a single, glowing red eye. In its massive hands, the Twin Ogre wielded two crude but brutal-looking clubs, oozing with a viscous, green slime.

Excitement surged through Noah's heart as he prepared to face this formidable opponent. This was going to be fun for sure.
