Free Web NovelChapter 7: Reaching Level 9
Dan Moriarty let his gaze drift across the interface hovering before him, taking in the details of his panel. He couldn’t help but notice the display of his new level.
Reaching Level 9 felt like an astonishing leap, especially considering it was merely his very first attempt into a dungeon. A quiet thought crossed his mind: this pace of advancement surely wasn’t what most others experienced.
The combat had felt almost effortless, particularly with the assistance of his new mythical ranked weapon, allowing him to cut through low level creatures like the goblins as if they were hardly there at all, making the whole thing feel less like a struggle and more like a casual stroll through a park, albeit a dangerous one. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Upon seeing the eighty free attribute points on his panel, Dan Moriarty paused for a moment, weighing his options. He began to formulate a plan for their distribution, his thoughts running through different scenarios.
After a brief consideration, he decided to assign ten points to each of his four primary attributes, providing a solid foundational increase across the board. Following that initial distribution, he chose to place an additional twenty points directly into Agility, giving it a significant boost, and then followed up by adding ten more points to Strength and another ten to Constitution.
His reasoning, revolved around the fundamental principle of maintaining an overall balance. He often recalled an old saying, that a bucket could only hold water if all four of its sides were sturdy and intact; even one weak point would inevitably lead to everything leaking dry.
Applying this logic, ensuring that he possessed a decent and robust standing in all four attributes was never a misguided decision, offering a comprehensive strength rather than a specialized vulnerability. This approach aimed to prevent any single area from becoming a critical weakness that could be exploited in more demanding situations.
Secondly, he considered the significant advantages of giving an extra emphasis to Agility. A heightened sense of swiftness and an increased capacity for elusiveness could mean the difference between life and death in the heat of battle.
He then pictured himself deftly sidestepping a fatal blow or positioning himself for a critical counter-attack, understanding that often, the fine line separating survival from defeat could simply be a quick, well-timed step backward, or a precise, agile movement to gain a crucial advantage over an opponent. With that, this promised not just evasive capabilities but also improved offensives.
And finally, he knew that a little extra in both Strength and Constitution would have an impact. It would significantly bolster his vitality, allowing him to endure more and extend his presence on the battlefield, making him a more resilient opponent.
Simultaneously, it would substantially increase his attack power, ensuring that each swing of his blade carried greater force, ultimately making his efforts to overcome adversaries far more effective and less draining in the long run. It was about becoming a force that could withstand and deliver, a truly formidable presence.
Strength +10 +10

With those final adjustments, the numbers on his panel changed. His Health Value now showed a robust 260 points, a far more reassuring figure than before, and his Spirit Power had similarly climbed to 150.
Ding!
Then, a chime broke the silence, drawing his attention instantly. On the edge of his vision, a notification appeared.
[Main Objective: Survive for one hour and eliminate ten goblins, Completed!]
It seemed that an entire hour had slipped by without him realizing it, so engrossed had he been in his own thoughts. The primary objective had actually consisted of two distinct parts. The first, to eliminate ten goblins, was something he had already accomplished earlier, primarily as a result of his playful wager with @DrunkenSwordImmortal.
The second part, which was simply to survive for an hour, had required nothing more than his continued presence within the dungeon space, a task he had unknowingly fulfilled while planning his attribute distribution.
SWIRL!
A white rift tore open in front of him, signaling the end of the stream. If he wished, he could now exit the dungeon. Normally, it would not be like this. Streamers could enter and exit dungeons as they pleased, as rifts remained open and reserved for Streamers alone. But this was an exclusive beginner dungeon for Dan Moriarty, which was why his exit was tied to completing a set of objectives. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Then the comments began to flood in once more.
[@DrunkenSwordImmortal: What? The brat is leaving already? This immortal has only just begun watching.]
[@NineTailEmpress: Hmph. This stream was mildly entertaining.]
[@GoldenFeatherPrincess: He should remain longer. I wished to see whether he would become more handsome with the passing of time.]
[@AbyssButcher: Boring. I was hoping for a second wave of goblins tearing him apart.]
[@ShadowWarden: Newcomer, open another dungeon soon.]
[@DrunkenSwordImmortal: Brat! Do not disappear too long. This immortal still wishes to see whether luck or talent carried you.]
