In the ##### dungeon, the rest area before the first floor,
Two silhouettes could be seen on the ground, one was much larger than the other. The larger laid dead as blood pooled below it while the smaller one was breathing steadily.
Yes, they were both the porcupine lynx and Aisaac, hours after they had fallen here.
"Ugh..." a groan escaped Aisaac's lips as he opened his eyes seeing darkness stretched beyond upwards. He immediately sat which caused him to wince as the pain hit him.
"Is this hell?" He looked around then he saw the corpse of the demon beast which confirmed the fact that he was not dead.
His heart began to beat fast as he came to terms with the fact that he had just narrowly escaped the jaws of death, he pulled his knees to himself and began to sob.
He was alone in a new world.
He just survived a near death experience.
As his sob ceased, his gaze grew stern before he sat cross-legged, staring into nothing as he clenched his fists.
"Kaelen¹, Freya, Morgan and Lexus, since I didn't die as you wished, your life in this world would never be wonderful, I'll enjoy this world to its fullest and I hope we never cross paths because I am sure if we do, it would be the day you would regret" Aisaac vowed.
Calming his nerves he decided to look at his status.

"Hmm, I leveled up by 5, that's a lot, no wonder I felt like the pain was receding quickly" Aisaac looked at his attributes.
As the pain disappeared, he noticed a change in his constitution attribute.
[Constitution:94>>102]
"Why?" Aisaac muttered to himself.
[Due to your gift, every adaptation to the body would always increase the constitution]
Seriously, do I have to become a masochist?
Aisaac shook his head as he stood up which was followed by the sound of bones cracking, he moaned as he stretched.
Feeling air spreading across his body, he looked down at himself and noticed that his clothes were in shambles.
"And they cost me 5 silvers, tch" Aisaac clicked his tongue as he took out new clothes from his inventory and changed into them.
He looked at the corpse of the porcupine lynx and immediately stored it in his inventory.
"Isekai 101, always store the corpse" Aisaac said before he turned towards what looked like a door, but the height was stretching upwards.
[Entrance to the first floor of Xenos Dungeon]
"Really?" Aisaac's lips couldn't help but twitch. He just survived a near death experience and he was about to face another one.
Why don't you just kill me?
For safety purpose he decided to equip the light armor he had bought from the weapon shop and he also decided to equip a pair of arm guard and a pair of gauntlets.
Punching his fists together, he strode towards the door that opened on its own. As soon as he stepped in, a voice rang through
"WELCOME CHALLENGER TO THE XENOS TRIAL!!"
"AS YOU ARE THE FIRST TO ARRIVE IN A MILLION YEARS, YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED THE PRIVILEGE TO CHOOSE AMONGST OPTIONS WHAT YOU NEED YOUR TRIAL TO BE"
"MIND YOU, THE DUNGEON IS MADE UP OF 10 FLOORS, DIFFICULTY STARTS WITH A RANK ABOVE THE CHALENGERS LEVEL, DIFFICULTY WOULD INCREASE AS YOU ADVANCE...GOOD LUCK, CHALLENGER, SURVIVE AND WIN OR DIE TRYING"
"No shit..." Aisaac spat as he looked at the endless darkness before him. He could perceive several hostile gazes on himself.
[Dungeon Trial Option]
[Regular beast/monster wave per floor]
[Regular single beast/monster boss per floor]
Those were the only two options he was given. Without much thought he immediately selected the first one.
[Selection confirmed. Good luck]
The darkness rolled away as Aisaac found himself in a huge room. Surrounding him were five doorways from which he could hear the steps of whatever monster he was going to face.
He immediately took a stance, his breath calmed as his eyes turned serious, his perception spread out as he monitored the doorways.
Just then two arrows shot out from the two of the doors, with a roll to the side, Aisaac dodged before he stepped back as a spike club hit the ground he was just in.
A tall slim brown-skinned hunanoid materialised as it held the club.
"Kwwrrkk?..."
Without waiting for it to recover, Aisaac punched it in the head which bust like a balloon.
[You have slain a rank 1 or gobln]
[You have received an increase in soul power]
"Hmmm?" Aisaac was confused.
[Soul power is what every being has and what also makes up the universe aside from mana, every defeated opponent releases their accumulated soul power upon death and it is absorbed by the victor.
Each level has an accumulation of soul power]
'I see'
Aisaac thought to himself as he faced the monsters that emerged from the doors and were staring at him.
Some were stout in size, some were slim and some were bulky, but they had one thing in common, brown or green skin and they were ugly.
[Orc Warrior]
[Rank 1]
[ Goblin Warrior]

Aisaac gulped as he clenched his fists tighter in front of himself.
"Kwrrgh Hgggrkk wwrrggkkm(human....kill....free..." the Orc-goblin chieftain said.
"Aarrrghh" the others responded before the chieftain gave the order to fight.
They charged towards Aisaac who immediately ran towards the side and attacked the gobline and orcs that were there.
[You have slain a rank 1 goblin Warrior]
[You have slain a rank 1 orc Warrior]

His attacks became faster as he shuffled through the horde just then he felt an attack coming from his side which he knew he won't be able to dodge, he tried to block it with his arms and he was sent flying back, crashing through other orcs and goblins before hitting the wall.
Aisaac immediately stood up and ducked with gritted teeth as a sword sliced the area his head was, he punched towards the assailant turning the orc into a blood mist.
[You have slain a rank 1 orc Warrior]
[You have received the skill: boxing]

¹ I decided to change Stefan to Kaelen
This would be my second time writing a fight scene, tell me your thoughts.
Also I would like it if you have any preferences for the monsters you did want in the later floors.
