The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima.

Daichi sat down and closed his eyes for several seconds. His mind replayed the battle he just went through.

'Finally… I'm getting stronger and stronger each day... One day I'll be powerful enough to walk the path I want without any fear.'

He looked at the new skill he got as the reward for defeating the first boss of this dungeon.

[Ozark's Resilience - Active(LV.1): The power to resist and be resilient even during overwhelming odds. When the health points fall below a certain threshold, this skill increases certain stats for a limited period of time.]

[Effects: +2% to Strength, Vitality and Agility stats for 20 seconds when HP falls below 20%.]

[Cooldown time: 8 hours.]

Happy with a new skill and the level up, Daichi went to sleep. Since he eliminated all the creatures that lived there, he wasn't worried. He slept for over 6 hours and when he woke up he felt refreshed. His HP, CP, SP, MP have all been restored.

He checked the status of his dungeon quest.

[Enemies killed:] [195/201]

'6 more huh… Looks like I'll be done with this dungeon soon.'

Daichi checked his map. He looked all over the place and soon found the location of the remaining 6 opponents. There was an enemy near the lake. And 5 others were grouped together some distance away.

'Should I go for the one that's all by itself or the ones in packs. Based on the map the lake is near. I'll get the crocodile boss first then deal with the rest.'

Daichi made his way to the lake. Due to his map he had the exact location of the boss monster that resided there. He didn't go into the water but instead planned on drawing the crocodile out.

The lake was located near a cliff. Daichi got his hands on a handful of paper bombs before the dungeon run. He only used a few during the first few days when he was overwhelmed. He currently has 4 remaining.

Daichi took out two paper bombs and placed them on two giant rocks. Once he set the timer for 30 seconds he dropped the rocks into the lake. They would drop to the bottom of the lake right where the next boss of the dungeon was.

Daichi jumped back and gained some distance between him and the soon to be battlefield. Before long two loud explosions rang out from the lake seconds apart. As Daichi looked on he could see the water beginning to churn and twist into a whirlpool.

[You have sensed killing intent.]

Suddenly, without warning a strong water blast shot out from the lake. Daichi quickly evaded to the side and looked at the destruction. The water blast tore through rocks and trees leaving nothing but wrecks.

"Maybe I should have saved this guy for last…" Daichi looked back at the lake. The water bulged for a second before blasting apart. A giant crocodile emerged and made its way to the surface. It was several times larger than Daichi.

[You have encountered one of the two remaining bosses of this dungeon.]

[You have sensed killing intent.]

['Observe']

[LV.31] [Water Tyrant - Krodos ]

[HP: 5520] [CP: 7011]

[The apex predator living beneath the lake. This crocodile is the largest and most vicious of its species. It killed several other crocodiles and became the ruler of these waters. It can use chakra attacks and has a powerful water affinity. Despite its large stature it is quite agile. When disturbed it is known to be extremely violent, often flying into rage and killing everything in its path. The water beam it shoots from its mouth has the power to shred most targets. A ruthless tyrant and the strongest of the 3 bosses of this dungeon. It wants to kill you for disturbing it's slumber.]

[Note: Killing this boss rewards +1 Level.]

The reptile boss Krodos set its eyes on Daichi once it set foot on land. It wanted to kill the one that woke it from its sleep. Despite the giant body it had, it was extremely fast.

Daichi jumped up and barely avoided getting eaten. When he was in the air Krodos's tail came with surprising speed and struck Daichi across the torso.

[-514 HP]

The attack not only sent Daichi flying but also cut him up badly. Red warning boxes popped up.

[Negative Status - Bleeding.]

"Aaahhhhh... It's scales are like blades." Daichi gritted his teeth as he somehow balanced himself in midair and managed to land on a tree branch. Daichi held his bleeding belly. He quickly took out some bandages and wrapped them around his wounds.

Daichi didn't get the chance to do anything else as a fast jet stream of water shot the branch he was standing on. Daichi fell but before he hit the ground he threw a shuriken with a wire attached to another tree and swung himself to safety.

The angry crocodile followed Daichi. It was determined to kill the little human. It smashed through trees and followed Daichi into the jungle leaving a path of wide destruction.

Daichi was jumping from one branch to another. 'From the observation skill's information, this thing has a good water affinity and fighting it near the lake would be a bad call.' Daichi's plan was to bring it into the middle of the forest where he would have more advantage.

'This thing just tramples on anything in its path. Even the giant trees and rocks are getting smashed. It's scales may have a strong defense but it's belly must be soft like the rest of them. But how exactly do I attack the belly of this thing?'

Daichi thought of several strategies and discarded the most impractical ones. 'Whatever the case maybe, I'll have to make him use up his chakra. Get him tired. Then things will go a lot smoother.'

Daichi created several clones and used them to distract the water beast. It swiped its tail and tried to kill the afterimage clones. It shot several water blasts trying to kill the real Daichi.

Before long Daichi lured the beast far away from the lake.

"Grrrrrr….." The beast growled. It sucked in a breath of air and bellowed loudly.

"GRRRAAAA…" The jungle shook from the angry roar. It ran and swiped at the tree Daichi was standing on. With just one strike from its leg, the tree snapped. Daichi aimed several shuriken and kunai at its eyes. But Krodos evaded them all. They bounced off his hard iron like scales without even leaving a scratch.

'Sharp weapons won't work. So my dagger is useless. Against an enemy like this it's best to use blunt brute force… But if I punch that thing, it's scales will shred my hands. And I don't know any powerful offensive jutsus…'

'I could use my points…'

'No. If I use points to increase my strength everytime I run into trouble, I won't survive the real world for long. And I'll be out of points when I really need them…'

'Damn it...What should I do?'

Daichi was evading the attacks of the crocodile boss and was in a bind. He couldn't think of a way to attack his enemy. That is until he saw them.

Two rocks a little over half of Daichi's size. They were wrecks from a larger stone Krodos destroyed earlier. Suddenly a new idea formed in his mind. It wasn't a solid plan but it was the best he could think of at the moment. For his plan to work he would need a minute.

Daichi lured the giant angry boss away from the area and once they were some distance away he used smoke bombs and 'sprint' to escape as quickly as he could and return to where he saw the two rocks.

'I can use these to attack. But I just can't grab and try to smash that monster with them. I won't be able to inflict the maximum amount of damage that way…'

An idea formed in his mind. Daichi grimaced at what he was about to do. Or more specifically about the pain he was about to experience. He took a piece of cloth, rolled it up and put it between his teeth.

He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. He clenched his fists and focused. He concentrated his chakra on both hands. Specifically below the elbow. And after a few seconds he opened his eyes. They reflected a determination someone his age seldom showed.

Without wasting anymore time Daichi punched both rocks. His intent wasn't to break them but to wear them like gloves.

BAM… "Aaahhhnnnn….." Daichi groaned in pain as he managed to bury his hands, elbow deep in the two rocks.

[-168 HP]

[-161 HP]

[Negative status - Broken fingers, Bleeding.]

A couple of fingers on both hands were broken and the sharp edges of the rock tore into his skin on both his arms. Tears ran down his face as he gritted his teeth in pain. But he never made a single sound. A few seconds later all the pain he was feeling turned into anger.

Daichi turned around in the direction of the crocodile. He had a vengeful vicious look on his face.

[A new skill is created with a specific action.]

[Through continuously projecting your murderous intent, the skill 'Killing Intent' has been created.]

[Killing Intent - Active (LV.1): The ability to project your will and intent on your enemies. The user of this skill exudes pure killing intent and has it affect their opponent to the point of paralyzing them with fear. At higher levels this skill can give the victims visions of their own death. ]

[Effects: Enemies with a 3 level gap between the user are paralyzed for 2 seconds.

Enemies under 4 levels below the user are struck with terror and paralyzed for 4 seconds as well as 3% reduction of their physical stats.]

He had blood running down his lips, his teeth grinding against each other. Along with bloodshot eyes and veins popping up on his skull, Daichi exuded a truly fearsome image.

He didn't even bother reading the description of the new skill. Daichi's sights were set on killing his target. Without wasting time he ran to his enemy. He reached the boss monster in a few seconds. He jumped high and from behind attacked. He fell down and punched its head with both hands. A powerful double blow that had enough force to slam its skull onto the ground.

[-388 HP]

"Take this you giant fucking lizard."

Daichi subconsciously let his chakra flow into the rocks, coating them with it. So it didn't break apart when he used it as a weapon. Daichi punched its head a few more times before he jumped away.

Krodos shook its head and looked around. Once it spotted Daichi it roared and shot a water blast from its mouth. Daichi evaded using sprint skill. His speed increased and he attacked the giant crocodile from all directions.

"Think you're so tough…!!!? THINK AGAIN!!!."

Daichi used as much force as he could when he punched the beast. He kept attacking and evading the large reptile. Dozens of strikes landed on its large body. Several notifications popped up as he fought the boss crocodile.

[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 STR.]

[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 AGI.]

[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 STR.]

The crocodile used its tail to smash Daichi several times but he always successfully evaded. Daichi's stamina was slowly depleting due to the use of sprint skill but he was reducing the health of his enemy as well. The damage from the powerful bashes was taking its toll on the large beast. It tried to to kill its tiny enemy with all its might. Daichi after evading another strike from its tails and legs jumped and smashed one of its eyes.

He used 'strong hit' to boost his power. He destroyed its left eye.

[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 STR.]

[Due to the extreme physical training, you have obtained +1 VIT.]

"Grrraaaa…." Dungeon boss Krodos roared in pain. It thrashed about and destroyed everything around it. Daichi, evading it's raging frenzy, kept attacking. Even with chakra coating the rocks they started to show signs of cracking. After several more strikes Daichi used a powerful double uppercut on it's jaws.

That was more than the rocks could take. The force of the punches broke them apart around the boy's hands. His fingers bloody and a mangled mess. Both his hands below the elbow were torn in several places and bleeding.

[+1 STAMINA]

Daichi ignored his wounds and pain and with shaky hands took the last two paper bombs. He tied them to a shuriken and when the beast opened its mouth to roar, Daichi activated the bombs and threw them into its mouth.

They reached their target and went deep inside the beast. After a couple of seconds the sounds of two powerful explosions rang throughout the jungle. The body of Krodos bulged several times due to the force of the explosion and then shrunk back down.

The mighty tyrant Krodos fell down with a loud thud and in a few seconds it turned into smoke and disappeared.

[Enemy killed.]

+3000 Exp.

+450 Exp.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have successfully eliminated all the Iron skinned crocodiles in this dungeon.]

[You have defeated the boss Water Tyrant Krodos.]

[Reward: Skill 'Water Style - Hydro Blast Jutsu'.]

Thanks to the level up, Daichi regained half his lost stamina and health points and healed small wounds. Even though his negative status of bleeding and broken fingers were removed due to the healing, he was still in no shape to face another opponent. Especially a boss one.

Daichi planned on resting and healing himself completely before starting the next fight. But unfortunately fate had other plans.

"Oh you gotta be kidding me." Daichi exclaimed looking ahead.

For in front of him stood the remaining enemies of this dungeon. 4 wolves and their leader. A huge alpha wolf and the last boss of the dungeon.
