Chapter 25 - Into The Skill Points Dungeon!

After the leveling up, we came back home, and just a few minutes had gone by even though if I combined the time of the two runs, more perhaps an hour or more had gone by.
I decided to rest in bed once more, while I checked my Status Panel.

…
Ah, my stats increased a lot once more, it seems that after the Job change, I get even more per level.
My Mana already reached 3000!
Sorcerer doubled my growth of Mana and Magic per level, so I am becoming even more of an overpowered magician (well, not really).
And my Magic is already at 670, pretty nice, my Mana Blast should do more damage than the swipe of my bat, but my bat still packs a punch as a cursed weapon, even more, that it can evolve and all, so I am not neglecting it.
I am probably going to become a mixed build of magic and physical attack, which is the way to go.
There's no point in choosing sides, why not both?
Although specialists are pretty interesting too, as they know their strengths and weaknesses better… But I have to simply grab any power I can for the moment, this is not really a video game, even though I got the game-like System golden finger.
I am sure as hell that as long as I continue using Mana Blast, the Skill might one day increase in Grade, perhaps at E-Grade, it will be able to shoot bigger spheres of mana that can explode or something… or maybe even infuse elements into it! Who knows?
After resting for a bit and going to the bathroom off-camera, we decided to quickly delve into the Skill Points Dungeon, the last one we could enter for the day, which also had three runs left.
Unlike before, I wasn't getting tired as fast now, mostly because of the enhancement to my physique that leveling up caused.
So I didn't even need to rest that much.
"Whew, I guess this one is the last of the three, let's do it quickly so Master can take a rest at last," said Kireina.
"Hm, let's quickly get this over with," said Ervas.
We quickly stepped through the gate in space, as our sight quickly changed.
Suddenly, we were welcomed into a place of… winter?
Wait, this is all snow.
We arrive in a place that is covered in snow and pine trees.
The sky is cloudy, and snowflakes are slowly falling from above.
I quickly walk around as I feel invisible walls stopping us from stepping too far away.
But the place is quite pretty, especially the mountains far away…
It is surprising to think that I have traveled more by going into dungeons than in my entire life back on earth…
I mean, did I ever went outside of New York.
Knowing the shithole it is, I should have.
But well, I hate going out… so it was a hard decision, and it wasn't as if I had any money.
And when I finally had, I was living fine by myself inside of my department while writing and earning money from it.
No need to go out and get assaulted by thieves at every corner.
Anyways, all of that shithole is probably about to get blasted off the orbit soon, when the Ragnar?k gets in here.
I bet there will be an alien spaceship and just like in all our stupid movies where the first country they target is always the united states, they will blast us off.
I mean, if it is truly a battle royale between dimensions and stuff, it is an all or nothing, everyone will try to kill each other.
Otherworldly beings coming here to decimate us seem like an obvious future.
And if they're aliens with big technology and stuff… they could even destroy Earth.
Wait, that's terrifying, let's not think that yet.
I doubt a summoning system can even help me if the entire planet gets blasted into pieces…
I hope the progress is gradual and we don't get to fight planet-busters right away, that would be… bad.
Anyways, as I began to think about fucked up stuff, magic circles appeared in front of us, 10, and from them, rabbits emerged.
Oh, they're the cousins of the Horned Rabbits, Ice Horned Rabbits!
They're white rabbits but have aquamarine eyes and their horns are made of crystal-like ice.
And well, they're as big as the Horned Rabbit Boss I fought a while back, so I guess there's that difference.
They're around the same level of strength as the Bees, so we quickly rush into battle.
I raise my bat and hit one right away, as it groans in pain.
A second after, I aim with my hand.
Mana Blast.
Mana gathers in the palm of my hand like a sphere of mana flies towards the rabbit.
CLASH!
"Kyuuuu…!"
The rabbit groans, it is resilient.
It tries to attack me with its horn, almost impaling my chest but I evade it. However, it manages to get a scratch on my face, a bit of blood flows out of it, but nothing too bad.
My dexterity is pretty good at this point, so I managed to evade it.
As the rabbit gave me its back, I raised my bat once more and… BAM!
"Kyuu…!"
The rabbit dies right away, rather swiftly, I would say.
Ding!
[You gained some EXP!]
[You gained +10 Skill Points!]
10 Skill Points, that's x10 times what a normal monster gives.
So I guess there is a "multiplier" taking into place here, and instead of 1 Skill Point, I get 10.
Wait… Bosses always give 50 Skill Points.
So I will get 500 from them?
Oh damn… I can't wait to fight the Boss then…
