The night went on, with the two dancing before retiring for the night. Resting well up for tomorrow.
Having gotten little sleep, as he had idled in bed for hours, trying to sleep, Umichi woke up shortly after getting about two hours of sleep. It was 0530. Getting out of bed, he saw no-one else from the party was awake yet, at least it seemed. There seemed to be a few nocturnal players going to rooms they had reserved to retire for the morning. Stepping outside, it was cold, the sun yet to rise. There were a few others setting out to train, trying to avoid the rush hours. Looking around, he headed for the Inn of Faith, to get a meal take-away. The NPC Lina welcomed him warmly. He ordered a Nepent fruit and Boar Wrap. It looked very much like a wrap, how it tasted would learned later.
Going out, he left for the Labyrinth. May as well get some training in Umichi thought, running through parts of the Labyrinth. From time to time, he encountered a few Giant Spiders or Ruin Kobold Troopers, but not many, yet. Reaching a few floors with short time, he noticed the chest he found the other day. Approaching to open it again, he found another item. It was the starting dagger. Not very high in stats or anything else. it was just going to be sold for col. So it is randomised, and respawns. I wonder if I got lucky or something. He thought, only to realize it had activated a trap. Blocking off the entrance to the area, he found that there were monsters spawning around him.The cursor indicator was a lightly red color, it seemed they were lower level then himself, but higher than what was out there. Looking at the name, it seemed they were Ruin Kobold Rogues. They were swift, and the dark made them difficult to see. Focusing on the use of <<Detection>> instead of his eyes, Umichi caught glimpses of the enemy's movement. Attacking, he took them down with two regular swings and a simple sword skill, such as <<Horizontal>> or <<Vertical>>. It was difficult to guard or react, leading him to take some damage. However, he was adjusting to their patterns, and was able to dodge the attacks narrowly.
Finally finishing the enemies, he had slain at least 20 or so. Checking his exp bar, it seemed that, in total, he had gained about 25%, including what he had slain while going through the Labyrinth. The attacks had taken Umichi down to about 75% of his health. It was better than what he had expected. It was still early, so he decided he would travel further in, however, he suddenly heard screams. Dashing to the scene, he found some people in need of help. Saving the group of four from the large group of Ruin Kobold Sentinels, Umichi was glad that none of them had died. Since they were low leveled and did not have enough teleportation crystals, they requested him to guide them out. He sighed, escorting them out of the Labyrinth, and back to the town of Tolbana.
Umichi arrived back in town at about 0800.
