I take a deep breath and smile. It has been three days since I came to this world, and this will be my first time exploring it. I spent the last three days inside the dungeon training and hunting.

|Name: Lucas Anderson|

|Race: Youkai/Mink|

|Level: 21|

|HP: 1570/1570|

|MP: 810/810|

|STR: 117|

|DEX: 121|

|VIT: 157|

|INT: 78|

|WIS: 81|

|SP: 200|

Yeah, my level has passed the level twenty mark, and both my DEX and VIT pass over one hundred. My magic also started to catch up, and the reason is that I found another use of Dawn Rune other than its spell.

Just like its description, Dawn Rune takes the nurturing aspect of the sun. It can heal and even make my muscles adapt faster. With my body adapting faster, my physical growth also gets faster.

Sadly, it did not affect the magical side. It did not nurture my growth in magic. Hmmm, or is it because I did not reach a certain level? That's maybe it.

Right now, my Dawn Rune is just past level ten.

|Dawn Rune| |Active/Passive| |Level: 11|

I also found out the passive effect of Dawn Rune. I will always be calm when I'm in battle. I did not know if this effect activated when I was tortured, but I hope it would. Sadly, I will not know about this as I did not have the intention to get tortured.

Speaking of skills, my other skills also increased at a fast pace.

|Electro| |Passive| |Level: 37|

|Sulong Form| |Passive| |Level: 45|

|Swordsmanship (Beginner)| |Passive| |Level: 67|

Electro steadily grows while my Sulong Form and Swordsmanship grow at a faster rate. I think my sword skill has grown faster because it was still in the beginner stage, and for my Sulong Form… well, the dungeon is the place without the sun.

The only thing in the sky is the pale full moon. The only place I could train was inside the building, and lucky for me, there was a massive building; it was a mall filled with zombies. I can train my magic there and also try to fight the zombie horde without my Sulong Form.

I can fight without my Sulong Form, but I need a few tries to get used to the weakening state of my stats. Right now, I have already gotten used to fighting in my human form.

While I'm in the dungeon, I also take a few clothes and other items like toothbrushes, soap, and shampoo. I wanted to take some electronics, but the dungeon did not have any of them. The only thing inside the dungeon is daily necessities like food and clothing.

I cannot find a phone or even a TV there. Well, lucky for me, the mob dropped money I could use to buy some.

Oh! I also found out that I have a hidden mission. When I reach level twenty, I get a reward of a Gacha Ticket. I have yet to use it because of how busy I was. I open the shop and press the Gacha button.

After a few seconds, I get another notification.

|Congratulations!|

|You get Busoshoku Haki|

|Busoshoku Haki| |Active| |Level:1|

|Busoshoku Haki is a form of Haki that allows the user to use their own spiritual energy to create, in essence, an invisible armor around themself, providing incredible offensive and defensive capabilities.|

I can feel something growing inside my body. It is familiar energy but at the same time foreign. It is unfamiliar because it originates from other worlds, but it is familiar because it uses my life force to use, and Youkai is the race that can control their life force with ease.

I take a deep breath and push my lifeforce into my hand. A second later, I can see my hand coated with black matter. I touch it, and it looks like I am touching the steel. However, unlike steel, it is still warm.

Hmmm, I wonder if I can unlock the other Haki forms on my own or if I can only unlock them via gacha. I will try them later. For now, I want to eat something.

|3rd POV|

After walking for a few minutes, Lucas arrives in front of a town in the middle of the forest. The town is styled after the old Japanese town. He can see many people walking around the town, and some of them even greet him.

He can see that people around him are just like him, not human. He can see a Dog Youkai talking with a fox Youkai or a Tengu talking to the other Tengu.

After walking for a minute, he decides to eat some ramen when he sees a ramen stand.

"Excuse me, can I get Tonkotsu Ramen?"

"Of course! One Tonkotsu Ramen coming right up!"

While waiting for his food, Lucas decides to break some ice by saying:

"So, how is it going here?"

"Hmmm, you are an outsider, huh?"

"Yup. I just got here today and want to know what is happening around."

"Well, nothing is going on. A bit busy because of festival preparation."

"Festival?"

"Yeah. It is a local festival. Festival to thank Inugami-sama for giving us this town."

"Inugami-sama?"

"Ah, you are an outsider. Inugami-sama, one of the fourth Daiyoukai, is the one who created this village in the past."

"One of Daiyoukai? I thought there were only three of them."

"No. There are four of them. Shuten Douji, the Drunken Oni, Otakemaru, the Warlord Oni, and Tamamo no Mae, the Great Nine-Tailed Fox. That is the most famous Daiyoukai of the past, but there is one Daiyoukai that many people do not know. Inugami, the Silver Wolf. He is the most benevolent and the most kind among all Youkai. Sadly, he died a long time ago from poison while fighting the Venom Blood Dragon, Yamata no Orochi."

"I see."

"This town is where Inugami-sama protects and stays for a long time. We create a festival to thank him and pray for his soul to find happiness in another life."

The owner finished making the ramen and placed the bowl in front of Lucas. He takes the chopstick and starts to eat. After eating and paying for his food, Lucas says.

"Hey, can I ask you where I can find some inn?"

"Just follow this road, and you will find the inn. It should be the 8th building to your right."

"Thank you for your information."
