Novel Bin Chapter 21 - EXP Dungeon!

After I inspected my clothes and talked about them with Kireina and Ervas, both of them seemed impressed.
"I wish I could share my clothes with Master… but this System does not let me…" she sighed.
"Err, no, thanks. I was not going to wear a dress even if it could give me stats…" I sighed. Kireina had good intentions but that\'s not what I meant!
"This staff would have been better with Master," sighed Ervas.
"Well, I am fine with my devil baseball bat, it fits this insanity anyways…" I laughed.
"I do wonder, can you extract equipment from Summon Jewels the same way you do with Skills?" asked Kireina.
Oh, good question.
But the answer has already been revealed before my eyes.
"No, I can\'t do that with equipment sadly. I can with Skills, but the best ones cost an exorbitant amount of Skill Points," I said.
"Oh… Well, let\'s grind a ton of them then!" said Kireina.
"Indeed, let\'s go, the day is still young, Master," said Ervas.
"I am glad you guys are eager, let\'s do it then…!" I said, leading the two.
The next dungeon we decided to visit was the EXP Dungeon, which has three visits per day too, as it is a Daily Dungeon like in usual phone gacha games (there might be some exceptions such as Genshin Impact, but that game is not at all like the usual gacha I am used to play).
The Dungeon had the shape of a garden of flowers, like a wide-open field, but it was in fact enclosed with invisible walls.
The whole view was… beautiful, the clear blue sky, the shiny sun above.
Was this something generated by the System?
The forest of the Gold Dungeon was also beautiful, it has been really a while since I went out to nature.
"Uwah, so beautiful…" said Kireina while glancing at the open flower fields.
Flowers of all colors were slowly moving by the calm breeze of the wind.
From yellow, pink, purple, and green-colored flowers, it was really a beautiful ad panoramic view.
I never thought I would see such a beautiful sight after hearing about the apocalypse coming and all.
Life really gives twists and turns, huh…
"It\'s a beautiful place. Is this really a dungeon?" wondered Ervas, as he began to tame a few flowers, which quickly began to walk with their little roots, he could only tame a few per dungeon, it seemed, and these were part of our crew now.
They were very little flowers though… will they ever turn into something strong?
Well, as a web novelist that loves monster evolution novels, I am sure that a simple flower could turn into a god-eating monster plant, so there\'s the chance that it could indeed turn into something grand in the future.
"This is an ideal place to make a picnic and relax…" sighed Kireina, as she rested her head over my shoulder…
Why is she doing that? Her head is so… comforting.
And her hair smells so good.
However, before we could enjoy the sight any more, monsters began to emerge from the ground, summoned by magic circles.
I wonder how Dungeons work…
"Oops, I guess there\'s no time to relax~!" said Kireina, summoning her Spear, Khaos.
"Indeed… Let\'s not let our guards down…" said Ervas.
I braced myself, raising my cursed weapon as it began to emanate a crimson aura from within.
"Bbbzzzzz!"
The magic circles began to emerge one after another, as giant bees the size of cars appeared!
Why are they so big?!
And bees, to boot!
And they had gigantic sharp stingers as well.
Although they looked more like wasps now that I see them… they had sharp jaws, thin legs, and were not as chunky as bees. Well, they were still fluffy.
"BBBBZZZ!"
One of the bees rushed towards us immediately, they were a total of ten as well, and they were out for blood, not for pollen!
"Hah!"
Kireina quickly intercepted it with her spear, released a vertical slash with it that released a wave of chaotic darkness over the bee, making it dizzy ad damaging it at the same time.
Ervas then released a strong Telekinesis Bullet, leaving the bee weakened, as it fell over the ground.
And then I rushed to finish it off with the bat!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The bat furiously hit the hard exoskeleton, aiming at the head, I heard several cracking sounds until the bee gave the last struggle and died.
"Bbbzzz…!"
Three hits were what it needed to finish it off, although the bat and my clothes were now covered in green and oozy blood, uegh.
Poof!
It disappeared into black smoke, as I quickly moved to the next victims of my bloodthirsty cursed weapon.
I saw as my EXP Bar was filling up at an incredibly quick pace, which startled me for a bit.
Each Bee was about 15% of my EXP Bar, unlike the usual 5% of the Venomous Viper (not the boss though).
I kept rushing through the "room" as I swung my bat at the weakened bees. I felt like I was leeching over the hard work of my summons, but that\'s the whole point of being a summoner anyways.
It still felt creepy to crush the heads and see so much green blood explode.
Nonetheless, my equipment didn\'t discriminate and absorbed all of this blood as if I was a vampire now.
Even more, the equipment gained a few stats alongside me.
When we killed all ten of them…
Ding!
[You gained a ton of EXP!]
[Your Level has increased to Level 9!]
Oho, Level 9!
One more level for level 10.
I can see that that\'s my cap, Level 10.
Do I get to change Jobs like in one of my Novels Systems at every 10 levels? That would be interesting.
After all, I don\'t have to limit myself to be a summoner! I could be anything I want.
As long as I keep the Summoning skill, I can be a summoner while being… I don\'t know, a Baseball Bat Knight?
What kind of Job would appear for me after Summoner anyways?
As I wonder this, we proceed towards the next room as a gate emerges in front of us.
