Si-Hun ignored him and went inside.
He went and lay down on his bed.
His mind was filled with today's meeting when he encountered two things on the same street.
One time, it was darkness; the other, light for him.
He fell asleep right there.
Kuro noticed his strange behavior.
He couldn't name it anything yet.
The next day, Si-Hun had a practice raid to go to.
He woke up early, did his workout, and was ready to enter the practice portal.
"Another one. This one is a higher rank."
"You'll have to be more cautious of everything."
"I will be more, careful."
He entered the portal.
As soon as he stepped in, he knew that this one had higher mana levels, and the danger was more exposed.
He walked in, prepared.
He was cautious, and each step was careful.
"Stats." He said.

{Ten points distributed to each}
He increased each of his skills because he knew he needed them.
He walked with confidence this time.
This time, he was met with titans.
Big, strong, tall.
He had his dagger, he had speed, he had skills, and he also had a few abilities.
They were tall and seemingly strong.
They were intimidating; none of them was moving.
They were like statues.
Si-Hun knew they weren't statues.
He went near one.
As soon as he was within 3 feet of that titan, he suddenly moved.
It was big and could crush Si-Hun with one step.
Si-Hun teleported somewhere else, where the titan couldn't see him.
He flashed above the titan's head, his blade slicing through its ear.
The titan tried to grab Si-Hun, but Si-Hun drifted across his body, piercing through his skin with his sharp dagger.
His blood was dripping off like waterfalls.
He then used the tiger's claw and scratched the titan's neck using all of his speed.
The titan growled, his voice echoing through the dungeon.
Si-Hun moved like fire, not slow enough to be seen by the human eye.
Kuro, standing there, was left shocked seeing how stronger his master had become.
Si-Hun then teleported to the next titan and sat on his left shoulder.
The titan woke up from sleep and looked here and there to see from where Si-Hun had attacked.
Si-Hun, making use of this moment, teleported on top of the other titan, who was still in pain.
The titan saw him and took a few steps towards him to catch him, but instead, crashed straight into the other titan.
Si-Hun teleported just in time.
The titan's heads crashed with such great force that their skulls were broken.
Their noses were broken, and pieces of bone flew in the air.
This sight was intimidating, but not for Si-Hun.
He was satisfied seeing these beasts finally end.
They fell back, crashing into other titans.
The rest of the titans were squeezed under the weight of the two titans.
Si-Hun sat against the wall, breathing.
Sweat dripped down his temples, hair plastered to his forehead.
He summoned the recovery potion.
After his breath was even, he took a few sips of the recovery potion and was healed from all the fatigue.
"This was an easy yet draining victory." He said, looking at Kuro from the corner of his eye, tilting his head a little.
"You were very fast."
Si-Hun remembered hearing a voice from the ring.
He connected the Stats through it and looked at the rewards of the kills.
He had gained over 200+ XP and two new skills: Titan's wave and skull crusher.
He checked the description of each ability.
The titan's wave is said to be a wave that exploits such power that anything within a range of 1000 meters will be destroyed.
The skull crusher said to be a magic that could crush skulls of creatures that are weaker than you, but they can only be used 3 times in 24 hours.
"Finally some useful shit!"
"Where are you going to use the XP?"
"Let me see."
[Stats activated]
Instincts: 48 + 25 = 73
Strength: 70 + 50 = 120
Reflexes: 44 + 25 = 69
Perception: 52 + 25 = 72
Intelligence: 46 + 25 = 71
Explosive power: 52 + 25 = 78
Speed: 47 + 25 = 72
"I have used all my XP for now, because I need to have my skills more pronounced, but something in me already feels more…powerful."
"Smart move. You will gain more XP anyways, in the next fights so it was a good decision."
"It was a tiring fight for now, but there is no space ahead."
"It was because the first titan you fought was the boss. You were supposed to fight the other ones first to get a hang of it, but maybe you didn't even need it."
"I really wanted to go home. I'm glad we're over."
With that, they both left the practice portal.
The day was an important one for him.
A perfect start for The Void.
