Chapter 45 New
Time seemed to pass by quickly, around three hours later, having already leveled up and kept going, Alan quickly felt the speed of his levels start going down much faster than he had expected.



'The amount of exp doubles every time that I level up, I guess it makes sense for this dungeon to had different types of monsters inside of it or I'd be stuck here for years to reach level fifty.' Alan thought to himself as he looked around the alley quickly to see if anything was closeby to him before releasing a soft sigh and looking down at the spear in his hand.



He had already put the makeshift knife spear that he had crafted back inside his inventory and instead he had bought the spear that he had unlocked with the level two system shop.



Looking down at the basic steel combat spear, he felt a soft smile show on his lips.



The spear was long, longer than the one he had crafted himself, reaching a complete length of two meteres long. Thankfully, it wasn't made entirely just from steel, only the tip of it was, meanwhile the rest of the body was made from what appeared some kind of extremely elastic wood and even that part was covered in a layer of some kind of material that made it more grippy and less likely to slip from his hand.



The tip of the spear was a long arrow head that had a sharpened tip aswell as was sharpened on both sides so that it could slice and pierce at the same time whichever he choose to do in any kind of situation.



'It's most definitely higher durability… but that's not even the best part, its the damage.' Alan thought to himself as he used his observation skill on the spear as the holographic panel appeared before him in an instant, floating in the air right before him.



[ Observation Skill has been used! ]



[ Basic Combat Spear ] [ Level 2 ]



[ Attack Damage: 10 ]



[ Description: A basic combat ready spear, crafted out of hardened steel, Fraxinus wood aswell as leather. It was created by the system for the user by utilising mana to generate the materials and then granted to the User upon purchase. ]



'Fraxinus wood… I didn't even know that kind of wood existed, I knew of Oak, maple, birch and that kind of stuff, not some kind of mythical name or whatever that is.' Alan thought to himself as he almost felt like releasing a chuckle, he had been very excited when he had first bought the spear but that excitement had quickly faded once he continued having to fight thoe damned slimes that had attacked him numerous times by this point.



One had even managed to finally strike him in the back, the pain had been quite excruciating.



The slime tendril hadn't been able to devour through his armror easily atleast not the leather plates however a splash of it had managed to land on the base of his neck and on his hands, it had instantly given him burns in those spots, as if he had been scalded by a hot iron rod in an instant.



'Status Menu.' Alan thought as he brought up his stats, looking at the progress that he had made in the last few hours whilst fighting the Slimes.

Looking over at his status screen, Alan's eyes widened slightly as he finally showed his first true wide smile, excitement and dopamine instantly starting to rush all over his body at the sight that was before him.



'Finally! Fucking Finally, that damned strength stat, its finally going to reach four special, with that, I should be doing much better but then again this piece of shit dungeon doesn't even have a damned use for attack damage, you cant defeat the slimes no matter how much damage you do, the only way to actually defeat them is to launch a direct attack onto the glass core thats inside their bodies.' Alan thought, as the excitement dwindled slightly however he quickly shook his head to get the almost depressing thought out of his mind.



'Doesn't matter, currently my strength is limiting my agility by quite a bit, the higher it is, the better. I need atleast a base of five to fully use my agility so that's good.' Alan thought to himself as he turned and started walking back towards the main road, he had already gone a long ways inside the alley and it would take him a few hours until he returned.



'There, should be a few slimes that have respawned by now aswell and I also wanted to check out if they had a specific weakness that i think they might have. Their slime thing is extremely similar to a snails, and snails quickly die if you through salt at the because it absorbs the water properties that they have, would something like that work on these things? I dont just have to be strong and fast afterall… maybe I can defeat them using other stuff aswell.' Alan thought as he quickly brought out his system shop and headed inside the items subcategory and bought a one kilogram bag of salt for two bronze coins.



'This thing… why is it so expensive, thang god that I learned that I can convert one silver coin into five bronze coins or id be stuck going back to that dummy dungeon and I really dont want to.'

If you're not going to combine the small uploads can you at least fix the spacing please?

I don't understand why each block of text is separated by two empty lines, and each "gamer" segment is double spaced.

The game segments need to be compressed together to take up the last amount of space possible. Preferably even inside a collapsable drop-down, because the reality is literally nobody cares about the raw-stats. They're completely meaningless, and only used as a crutch to quantify some semblance of the MC's power.

There is no reason for each tiny segment of text to contain two spaces between each block. Feels like I have to go searching for the actual story not only because there's so little of it, but also because its so spread out for no reason. It really makes it a chore to read.
