Aisaac sat cross-legged as he looked through his status. Lilliana used his lap as a pillow as she lay down, her body cover with a fur coat.

"My attributes are too OP for a rank 1.." Aisaac rubbed his chin, "..from the tome I got on the seventh floor, the base attributes for rank 1 is in hundreds"
[Due to being an otherworlder, your base attribute is different]
The soul record responded surprisingly.
[As you have reached rank 1,The section, Title, has been added to your status]
"Hmm?" Aisaac rose an eyebrow at the notification.
He watched as his a space was created just above his gift section.
[As you have reached rank 1, the titles you have earned while unclassified have been provided]
"I earned titles?"
[Otherworlder]
[The Adaptable One]
[The Extra]
[Martial Artist]
[Orc Slayer]
[Goblin Slayer]
"What are the perks?" Aisaac thought.
[Otherworlder: Since you do not belong to this world, your base attributes are higher.]
[The Adaptable One: Due to your gift, the world sees you as it's own. The World is on your side]
[The Extra: You are here just in case things do not work. Base attributes increased by +10]
[Martial Artist: 50X increase in martial ability]
[Orc Slayer: 20X damage dealt against Orcs]
[Gobline Slayer: 20X damage dealt against Goblins]
"Wow..." Aisaac was surprised, "...this is slick as hell"
"Guess I'm ready for this world..."
Lilliana stirred as she pressed her face against his stomach with a moan before she resumed sleeping.
Aisaac looked at her with a wry smile as he stroke her black hair, he stared up at the ceiling which was filled with lightstones.
"I wonder if some have died?"
••••••
In a dungeon not to far from Grixia Kingdom, the 7th floor.
It was complete chaos, as a 10ft Cerberus stood at the entrance leading to the eighth floor while watching a group who were staring at it.
Compared to it's composed self, aside from the few cuts on it's body that was healing, the group was different, their once large group has reduced to fifteen, surrounding them at different places are their mates.
This group was basically Kaelen and his classmates, coupled with some of Grixia adventurers who they had paid to guide them.
Kaelen stood in front, his sword clenched tightly in his hands as he stared at the Cerberus. His usual carefree expression had changed into seriousness.
"What the hell?...what is a rank 3 doing in a low level dungeon?" He muttered to himself.
||This must be a test, young'un, since you wield I, the sword of destiny, you have to face adverse challenges||
A voice sounded in his ears.
'I never asked for this, I just want to chill and f*** ladies not be a hero' Kaelen screamed inwardly.
||If you want to do that, strength is what you need, and to get stronger, you need to overcome this hurdle before you||
The voice responded to his thoughts.
Meanwhile, Sheila stared unflinchingly at the Cerberus as if she was studying it, her hand clenched tightly around her shortsword.
[Gift: Embodiment]
[Embodiment: manifest yourself as an Idea, element, or living force, altering appearance, abilities or even fundamental traits, to match the essence you channel. Everything is based on your own imagination and understanding]
'Your gift is all dependent on the understanding of what you want to embody'
Sheila recalled what Nyxara had said to her during their training session, she looked at her gift related skills.
[Essence Shift]
[Conceptual Manifestation]
[Adaptive Resonance]
Crossing out the last one, Essence Shift allowed her to take a physical or elemental trait of what she chose to embody, while Conceptual Manifestation allowed her to embody a concept or an idea.
She looked at her classmates, seeing the fear in their eyes, she understood they feared the Cerberus in front of them, she feared it too.
She also understood that she didn't want to die here.
"I haven't seen him yet" She muttered to herself.
Even if she had an idea of what to embody, her mana points would have to be enough.
[You want to embody fear. What kind of fear?]
[Primal Fear]
[Bestial Fear]
[Human Fear]
"I choose the fear that would also affect the Cerberus!" Sheila chose.
[Primal Fear]
Sheila watched as her mana dropped to 10%.
A wave of purple and red energy swirled around her and the pressure on the floor increase which caused those around to groan.
Those close to Sheila immediately collapsed, their eyes wide in terror.
||What great gift||
"Huh?" Kaelen muttered to the voice.
||That girl, she would be either your greatest asset or your greatest enemy, I implore you to tread well||
The energy dispersed.
Instead of Sheila, it was a man.
As he stood there, he gave off an aura of reverence.
He was handsome. Flowing white hair, blood red eyes, dressed in black overcoat, black trousers and boots, with a dragon wing tattoo on his chest. He had large horns on his fore head, huge black bat wings.
[You embody Xartar, the first demonic dragon]
[Embodiment will last for ten seconds]
"That's enough"
As if it noticed a threat, the three heads of the Cerberus growled as they pounced towards the man.
The man sneered as he took a step and appeared in the spot where the Cerberus had been.
The three heads of the Cerberus flew off as even below it's stomach was a hole, as if someone pierced through it and took something out.
The corpse crashed to the ground under the astonished gaze of everyone.
Looking back at the man, he was dissipating as Sheila appeared in his position, her breath ragged, in her hand was a shiny red crystal.
[You have slain a beginner rank 3 Cerberus, since you are in a party, you receive 60% soul power]
[You have leveled up X3]
[You have reached level 59]
