The cube before her expanded, and the chest floating in the room rose into the air before vanishing into 'storage'. It was the last valuable item left in the room, along with a few stones.
"Okay, let's move on to the next step," she said, looking at the door she had come through earlier where monsters had chased her.
[Telekinesis – activated]
The air once again filled the room, carrying the metallic scent of blood and the echo of claws scraping stone.
At Amane's mere thought, the doors burst open—the monsters hadn't gone far. There were about twenty of them who rushed into the room and then instinctively began to surround Amane.
Amane's expression shifted completely; calmness and an almost unreal composure returned to her face.
"How dare such insignificant creatures live in my presence?" she said, her red eyes flashing menacingly. "Haa, I'm starting to go back to how I was before... at least I'm not talking to myself anymore," she thought, even as the words left her mouth.
The monsters lunged at her all at once, then with a sigh in a fraction of a second she vanished and reappeared high above them.
[Physical strengthening – activated]
In the air, she thought, "I'm already super fast even with this skill only at level 4.""The cube reappeared, and the chest emerged from it, still hovering in the air. Then she stands up on the chest, which is also suspended thanks to telekinesis.
"Disappear!" she commanded from above, standing at a height the wolves could never reach. A ball of fire materialized in front of her, but his hands were crossed, showing her mastery as a deity.
It was massive enough to destroy a building. The enraged monsters howled and looked up just as the blazing sphere descended, engulfing them in the fires of hell. The moment the fireball hit the ground, light devoured everything. A roar filled the room not from the monsters, but from the air itself.
Still suspended above, standing on the chest, Amane looked on in amazement, "Oh, that's caused a lot of damage."
But the flames on the ground did not go out; they gradually became lava, merging with the rocks below.
"Damn, things are starting to get heated!". She looked at her system and noticed a detail. "Uh… MP ∞ out of 200, wait, what does that mean? Did the system glitch or something?"
"Ha…, even analysis at level 999 doesn't give me much information, so I need to get out of here first. Now I need a skill that freezes lava."she thought about it as she sat down on the chest.
→[Ice Spear – lvl.15]
[Congratulations! 6th skill acquired]
[Congratulations! Level set successfully]
"Okay, level 15 will do now, let's test this." She pointed her hand downward, summoning dozens of ice spears around her. With a flicker of intent, they shot toward the molten ground.
Where the ice touched, the lava solidified instantly, the freezing spreading like lightning.
She then went down to the floor, placed the chest there, and then put it back in storage.
She then noticed the slightly oddly shaped floor, shining with a magnificent glow. "What is this thing? With analysis, I should know what it is, but first let's lower its level because it's giving me too much information," she murmured.
→[analysis – lvl.10]
"Well, that'll do." Satisfied with the level, which is quite normal.
→[analysis – activated]

[Use: Crafting magical weapons, channeling mana, collecting]
"Oh, that's interesting. If I can extract it, maybe I could sell it," she mused, observing the ore that was settling beneath her feet.
"Hmmm… I need a skill that would allow me to dig… dig…" she began to think deeply, how to extract this ore.
→[Matter Separation – activated]
A soft glow pierced the ground and began to split in two; the ore that had settled at the center of the melting appeared on the surface. It was in the shape of a giant ball, which was unique. "Haa… everything is getting a little too easy," she sighed.
"I don't even need to eat or sleep anymore. I can't even feel tired."
She walked towards the door and then turned around one last time, "Goodbye, a place I'd rather forget."
She walked along the dungeon corridor, looking at her stats again, but something was wrong.

"I haven't leveled up once despite killing all those monsters… and my stats haven't changed either."
She stared at the floating text, her expression darkening.
"Wait—what? No way… that's impossible."she suddenly stopped, looking at the ground with empty eyes and a sarcastic smile."Killing monsters and selling their drops—it works in every manga, doesn't it?"
She let out a dry laugh, staring blankly at the glowing floor.
