Over the past week I pushed myself and trained until finally the day of the beginner dungeon came.

'My skills have definitely come a long way from a week ago. I have trained with magic every day to turn my spells into skills and between the times when my mana regenerated, I experimented to get 'adaptions' and gain new skills.'
'I inflicted physical harm and gained [lesser recovery] and [lesser pain resistance] which will definitely be useful in the dungeon. I even forced myself into extreme conditions such as putting my hand into boiling water and taking an ice bath with 7C water which allowed me to get [heat resistance] and [cold resistance], which I later fused to get the [temperature regulation] skill.'
'Originally, I also wanted to fuse [lesser recovery] and [lesser mana recovery], but I decided to wait until I gained the [lesser stamina recovery] skill first.'
After I finished looking at my new status, I decided to look around a bit. I saw most of the students already arrived and was waiting for the beginner dungeon to open.
Soon, I noticed Blake and decided to take a look at his status to see what changed.

'It seems that Blake wasn't doing nothing over the past week either. It seems that he decided to train his combat skills more rather than magic, but why does he already have exp?'
I decided to think why he would have exp already till a thought came to me.
'Wait! Is it because of his {effortless gain} trait?! Damn that's op! It may not be the most useful now but in the future, there will be pretty much nothing that gives a meaningful amount of exp.'
'I can already imagine that bastard becoming a demi-god just by sleeping for a few hundred years! Wait, if I were to kill him would {winner takes it all} allow me to gain the trait?'
'NO!!! I need to stop my thought here. It may be a powerful trait but I'm sure more dragons also have it. I shouldn't kill my friend for my greed.'
Soon enough the time for the dungeon to open came. Before the principle let us in, he decided to go over some important pieces of information as a reminder.
"I'm sure all of you already know but to ensure your safety I'll go over the information involving the beginner dungeon. Even though we call it a dungeon it's more accurate to call it an advanced simulation created through magic. Since it's a simulation you would assume that you can't die but that's not the case. We can only manipulate the monster's level and the environment, so your life is still in your own hands."
"For this beginner dungeon we have decided to increase the difficulty since this has been one of the most successful awakenings in the past decade. Instead of the usual were all the monsters are common level 1-4 with the boss being level 5 we have made it, so the monster's levels are now 1-9 and we have adjusted the boss monster and added 2 mini-bosses. The boss is now a rare level 10, and we have added a rare level 5 and a rare level 8 mini boss to the dungeon."
"Now that my announcement is over you may all enter the dungeon."
Once he finished talking a giant rift around 5 meters wide and 12 meters high opened up inside a giant machine. It was around the same size as the rift and had a bunch of wires running through it and what appeared to be an advance mana stone at the top powering it.
Students started to pile into the rift and soon enough I also entered. Once I did, I found myself surrounded by light and had the feeling of being tugged somewhere.
Soon the feeling stopped, and the light dimmed. As I looked around my surroundings, I found myself in a forest with a bunch of trees.
After I adjusted to my surroundings I heard a rustle in the bushes.
