Author note: sorry for not uploading last week, the semesters ending and I had a lot to do.
--------------------
After defeating the wolves, I started to continue the travel to the dungeon, and maybe I was lucky or unlucky because I didn't run into anymore beasts.
After another 40 minutes of travel, I managed to make it to the dungeon.
The dungeon was a portal which was managed by several people. The color of the portal was blue, and the size was around 4 meters tall, signifying it's rare apprentice rank.
The best way to determine the rank and grade of the dungeon is it's size and color. Green is common, blue is rare, purple is epic, legendary is orange, and divine is pink. The size represents its rank with the larger the size determining the level and rank of the dungeon.
The dungeon had many people surrounding it. Many looked like they came with teammates, other seemed to be trying to join other teams, and some were alone.
'I never understood why some would try to join other teams right before they enter a dungeon. Along with bad team chemistry from lack of understanding, you also have to use a tracking item and link it with people which you'll probably never team up with again, which is just a waste of money.'
After looking at the people, I started to wait for the dungeon to begin and after around another 20 minutes The dungeon was officially open.
"THE DUNGEON WILL NOW BE OPENED!" A man yelled. "PLEASE LINE UP INFRONT OF THE DUNGEON AND PRESENT YOUR TICKETS!"
After the announcement was made everyone started to line up to enter the dungeon, and after a couple minutes it was my turn.
They just asked for my ticket and name, then I was allowed to enter the dungeon.
After entering I found myself in a dark forest along with some nausea and disorientation from the space-time transportation.
'I heard it would be different from the beginner dungeon, but I didn't think it would be this bad.'
[You have adapted]
[You have gained the skill 'spatial adjustment']
After gaining the skill I instantly started to feel better, so I decided to check out the skill.
----------
[Name: spatial adjustment]
[Level: max]
[Rank: rare]
[Description: a passive skill that allows you to rapidly adjust to spatial movement]
[Effect: rapid adjustment to movement sickness, teleportation sickness, and spatial distortion sickness]
----------
'Oh! It's not that useful to most people but it is great to have it, especially since I can teleport.'
'I'm usually fine teleporting but if I teleport more than 10 meters or more than 2 times a second, I start to feel a bit unwell so this should help me quite a bit.'
'Now, I should probably start hunting some monsters!'
'I especially need to find some slimes since they are usually weak but have a few useful skills.'
'Which directions should I go in?'
'Guess I'll just pick a random direction.'
With my decision made I just started walking forward and after a while I ran into a herd of boars.

[Rank: apprentice]
[Affinity: none]
[Skills: charge, trample, berserk, boar stubbornness]

'Those seem like pretty decent skills, especially 'berserk', and 'boar stubbornness' seems interesting.'
After the decision to kill was made I started to execute my plan of attack.
I first activated 'shadow stealth', coating my body in shadows, which was really effective with the dark environment.
After that I started to circle them and waited for an opening and soon enough, I noticed an opportunity and attacked.
I quickly teleported directly in front of one of the boars before using a magic spear to pierce through their entire body then teleported away.
The boars noticing the death of one of them became enraged and then they... turned towards me?
Confused on how they knew where I was, it took me a bit to come back to my senses, giving them enough time to come near me.
Once I realized what happened I teleported to a random tree.
'Damit! How did they know where I was!?'
'You know what, it doesn't matter how they did it, I can figure it out after I check their skills.'
I once again teleported and appeared behind them, firing another magic spear. Luckily the spear managed the pierce three of the boars.
'Four down, three to go.'
They turned around and they stopped, then after a second, they came towards me with their speed dramatically increased.
I quickly dodged them and created three separate magic spears to finish them off.
'Ok let's check my status now.'

'Those are some interesting skills, and I can already see a few possibilities for skill synthesis, but I should probably wait. I'll see if there are any more interesting skills I can gain first.'
'Well, I guess it's time to continue walking.'
