The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System?

『 You have killed The Goblin Shaman LV. 10! 』

『 You have leveled up! 』

『 You have leveled up! 』

『 Do you wish to ascend to the Third Floor? 』

            『 Yes/No 』

When the announcement rang, all the energy that she had up until now were gone down the drain as she flopped onto the ground. It was the most exhausting battle ever in her life. She had also thought that she might end up dead at one point amidst the battle but managed to get through it with sheer will. The pain that she suffers through all this makes her want to give up on everything.

Why is she risking her life? Is it to save the world from the foreseeable danger in the future? Why would she even risk her life for the unknown strangers? Such depressing thoughts wash her all over before a thought emerged and consume them all.

She is risking her life for the sake of protecting her loved ones. It was not for such a heroic sense of saving the world but merely protecting her life, and the loved ones from the danger of the future. For all she cares, the whole world should just get burn, and she would watch it from the sideline.

She was not cruel, but just simply didn't care about the strangers. Just like how in some part of the world that's currently still in the war yet in the other part of the world, it was calm as the surface of a lake on a windless day. Does the latter care about the war on the other side? No, because it was not their business.

They would feel pity, anger, and all sort of feelings, but in the end, all those feeling will wash away in no time since it was far from their life and not their business. She has to repeat it because it is saddening to see how society did nothing and just watch from the sideline.

People grow up and learn from Society. If society didn't give two poo about the war, so does everyone. Unfortunately, she was also one of them. But again, just because one has power doesn't mean they have to do this and that for others. Human is a greedy creature that knows no bound. If one could gain profit from the war, yes, war it is.

In her case, she just wanted to live a normal life while protecting the people close to her. She neither dream to ever use the power she had to be a hero or gaining fame and wealth. She is very much a selfish person. If not for the warning sign from her dream, she would have taken her time slowly to level up and just do it for fun.

A black and unique key materialise in the air before falling onto her hand. By holding the key, one could enter a space from a different dimension called Trial Tower. Within the space, wherever the gaze goes, one could only see the greenery nature of the earth. Only the key holder is the sole living being in there. Only by accepting the quest could the monster be spawn to the surrounding area, no more haven but purely survival of the fittest.

When one defeated the enemy and completed the quest, they could also gain experience to level up. They could also distribute the point received from leveled up by using the card that was given when one entered. Basically, it's same as the leveling system but with only a few functions available.

While she was playing with the key on her hands, she was also deep in thought. If she gives the key to Ria, that means she will also be included in this whole danger fiesta. Of course, she knows that everything comes up with a price; there's no free lunch in the world. She also doesn't want to keep holding the secret anymore to her one and only friend. But is it really okay? Is this the right choice? She doesn't know, but one thing is for sure that whatever the choice she made, it would open up to a whole new path of the future.

『 Sheila LV.14 』

『 HP: 69/110 MP: 137/150

GOLD: 1050

—STR: 23 —INT: 30

—AGI: 20 —VIT: 21

—LUCK: 10 AP: 10 』

"That's quite an amount of gold. But still nowhere enough to get the proper gear."

For now, she decides to keep the gold and use it later when the time came. As for the attribute points, that will be postponed. It's better to save it and use it then. Basically, she wanted to save up both of them. After she was done checking her status, she looked over the place where the Goblin Shaman died, hoping to see some kind of good drop from killing it. But all she saw was a single necklace shinning on the ground. She went over and picked up, and the details were,

『 Goddess Blessing 』

『 Grade: D

A necklace made of silver. +2 LUCK 』

"Jackpot!"

An item that actually increases the luck attribute, this is a rare item. Is she considered lucky for getting such a good item? Then why couldn't she get the stuff she wants in the lottery? All she gets from there is something she didn't expect(even the trash). If it were just a standard silver necklace with no sort of enchantment in them, Sheila wouldn't have worn it but now, yes. It's also pretty so why should she reject it and let it rot in the inventory?

『 Sheila LV.14 』

『 HP: 69/110 MP: 137/150

GOLD: 1050

—STR: 23 —INT: 30

—AGI: 20 —VIT: 21

—LUCK: 10(+2) AP: 10 』

"Nice."

It would be even better if there's more item that could increase her luck attribute since she couldn't raise it with attribute points from leveling up. But she should not be too greedy, or lightning would strike her. It is enough for now with just this necklace. The silver necklace also looks beautiful on her, while she was looking at the necklace on her neck, a thought emerges. She wonders if one day when she got an armour or equipment, would it turn invisible when she wore them? The APW Bracelet did, but the necklace is visible. Is it perhaps only to the unique item? The silver necklace is rare but was it unique enough?

APW Bracelet could be called a unique item with its ability and the fact that it is also a growth-type of weapon. Maybe there are other requirements for it, but she didn't know. Either way, it's time for her to leave. After all that bloodbath battle, she needs a warm bath to both heal and cleans her up. But first, she needs to make sure that her parent didn't found out the shirt have gotten bloody, or the consequence will be dire. She has to wash it before anything else; the warm bath could wait although she wants to take the warm bath right here and now.
