" Haa... Now that the healing is done. You should rest for a while for your body tho get better."
" You are going beyond your limits too many times. It's straining not just your physical body but your mental body too."
Limits. I'm going beyondy limits, yes that is true but there is a reason and that reason is for me to survive the coming disasters.
" I know it, but this is the last time for a few floors. Don't worry too much about it."
" Alright if you say so. But really be careful you are on a steep edge with what you are doing right now."
" Alright alright I will be careful but first let's check the rewards from this insane battle."
The reward to hidden quests is not given by the system but rather we have to find it.
" Why isn't the system giving us a reward is it bugged or something."
" No it isn't. We just need to find the reward and it will be easy for you. Just try to find a place with alot of mana."
" I will but why do I need to find a place with a lot of mana."
" It's because the ginseng produces a lot of man afor some reason."
The ginseng produces so much mana that even kinazuma who is a martial artist was able to sense it and find it. but the problem is where is the path to it if we find the mana.
The path to the reward would be hard for a normal person who doesn't know where it is and also about the traps, but it will be easy for me someone who knows the path and it's traps.
" I found it but why is it soo far away from here."
" It's located near the blood god's shrine that is why it's far away from here."
The blood ogres keep their treasury near the blood gods shrine which they built as their offerings even though they know he only accepts blood as an offering.
It's like giving buying a subscription which you will never use to an app similar to what you use.
The path is a bit windy the traps pretty simple but they are very far apart so you lower your guard and fall for it. A simple but effective way to protect your treasure.
After walking for a while and evading alot of traps we made it to the treasury room to see a lot of things.
" Oh my god!! So much gold. I have never seen this much gold in my life. Oh and there it is the thousand year old ginseng which I put my life on to get."
" Hey ryuzo"
" Yeah. What is it."
" There's so much stuff here but do you think there is something that might be useful to me or which I can do something with."
" There is something that you can use here."
" What is it. Tell me."
Pulling out a small book from the huge pile of gold and other stuff which I gave to her and said.." Here, akashic records of the first sage of sorania."
" An akashic records. What am I meant to do with it."
" This is not a normal akashic record this the record of the first sage who is the one of greatest rune mages in history. He was a nineth circle mage when normal people were only at the first or second circle."
" Wait an record of a nineth circle rune mage is just sitting here as a hidden reward in the first floor. Does this have any restrictions or something."
" Yes it does have one a big one, the restriction is your understanding of the runes and on how you incantate them."
" Oh I get it then. I got the greatest reward I could get in the tower all thanks to you ryuzo. I'm really happy."
She said while giving a smile to me and then started throwing her hands in the air while running around with joy.
" Don't be thankful. We are teammates and teammates help eachother all the time."
Someone being thankful about me. It was something that resonated deeply in my mind and heart. "THANKY YOU " it's a words I've never heard in my past life because they don't like accepting I helped them.
What a pathetic life I lived in my past life. I won't repeat those mistakes here. Never, I won't be a disappointment here too.
Talking the gold and ginseng into our inventory I stumbled upon a pedestal with a glowing sword and a dark blade.
With absolute appraisal I wanted to check this sword out.
Wait... No way.... Eclipse monarchs moon cutting blade. Why is this sword here.
Eclipse monarchs moon cutting blade is and S-rank sword which is able to cut moon rock which is one of the hardest materials in the tower which is how the sword got its name and was held by the eclipse monarch one of the strongest leaders in the past of the towers 30 years.
This sword can't be real it must be a copy but my absolute appraisal can't lie about this, then this sword must be real.
I really am holding this sword. I feel like I'm holding a piece of paper because of how light it is.
Looks like I don't need to get a sword for a long while I guess.
Might have changed the plot by alot because this was meant to be in the hands of a strong villan in the future who will take down kinazuma.
We should get out of here before he might actually appear here.
" Hey korin let's get out of here now. We still have a lot of stuff to do outside of this floor only."
" Alright let's get out of here but why are we in a hurry."
" If we stay here for long they might respawn and I don't wanna fight them again."
" Alright let's get out of here now."
After talking a huge walk back to the portal we finally got off the first floor after 1 day and 4 hours with alot of money and better weapons and stats.
Oh yeah talking about stats I didn't even see my status.

oh look my stats wen up by alot. That is pretty good and I gained a lot of skills and the rest ranked up too.
Now that I finished the hidden quest of the first floor the won't be another one till the 10th floor. Soo I don't need to fear much now I guess.
Now I should go to the inn and make the mana refining potion to refine my mana so that I can finally use magic in this tower.
" Hey ryuzo check it out it's kinazuma and ririko. We should go and talk to them." She said while tapping oh my shoulder to call me.
" Wait ririko why is she here. She said she would come to the tower after a week."
Why is she here right now. If a week already went by then I will fall back by alot and it will be hard to get to kinazuma then.
I should not jump to conclusions I should go and and talk with them to confirm my thought.
" She said she would join a week later. Really."
" Yeah but I guess she changed her mind and came here before her plan."
" I guess then let's just go and talk to them."
Walking upto them they noticed us and called out our name.
" Hey ryuzo what are you doing and hey korins here too. What are you both upto." Asked kinazuma while coming near me.
" Nothing much we just cleared the first floor and the hidden quest too. Look what I got as the reward." I said while I was unsheating my sword.
" Look at that sword it's dark colour and sharp side and it's weight. It is the best sword I have very held, what rank is this sword I want it."
" It's S-rank. That's why it's this good.
