Sorry for not uploading I was busy making the sword art for the MC. Sword arts are very hard to make when you are trying to be original. This chapter is kind of an info dump on how the Mc will create his sword art.
Do you like the new cover?
_______________________________________
I left the room and went to a room upwards, the enemies in Cellar are pretty easy to deal with. Most just chase you mindlessly like a zombie, the room that I entered had five gapers in it.
Gapers were humanoid creatures with blood leaking from their eyes, they were basically zombies. They groaned as they walked towards me, they were quite slow though so it would take a while before they reached me.
I took out my nail and walked up to one of them. It swung its right arm mindlessly, I quickly dodged the attack and stabbed the nail into its head.
The monster fell onto the floor dead, I then proceeded to kill the rest. The doors opened up, I looked around the room and saw the Item Room.
The golden frame was out of place in this wooden cellar, it looks like someone just placed it there randomly. I entered the room, the buzzing of flies entered my ears as I looked at the item pedestal.
~Curse Of The Blind~
'Curse of the blind? That's the worst curse for me. Damn, should I just leave the item? I don't want to pick up an item that can kill me. Yeah, I'll be fine without it.' I thought as I left the room.
I was easily killing all the monsters, it was very satisfying. But I needed to train, I walked around aimlessly. 'Hmm, what can I do while leveling up? Maybe I can make sword art. That's actually a pretty good idea.' I thought as I walked into a new room.
I was instantly swarmed by small Gapers. My aura showed itself, it flickered and then shattered. 'Is my aura that weak?' I thought as I grabbed one of the small gapers.
I pulled the gaper apart, it was disgusting but I had to kill them. I proceeded to kill all of the small gapers, my aura was coming back quickly. 'I need to strengthen my aura, it will give me an advantage in combat. I can't neglect it.' I thought.
'Aura is connected to the soul, so I should be able to improve it by strengthening my soul. But how will I do that? Maybe I should just focus on creating the Sword art first.' I thought, as I pulled out my nail and entered another room.
I easily emptied all of the rooms and made it to the boss, I entered, and then I saw who I was up against.
>>Excursion Vs The Haunt<<
The Haunt was a massive ghost that was surrounded by three tiny ghosts, one ghost came after me while I thought 'Alright he has enough hp.' I thought as I sliced the ghost in half with ease.
I watched as two more ghosts came after me, one of them shot a red tear at me. I rolled to the side, dodging the tear. I dashed forwards, I sliced one of the ghosts in half with ease.
[Swordmanship Leveled Up! (L.2)]
I feel a surge of knowledge enters my brain, I changed the way I held my nail. The way I held my nail guaranteed that I wouldn't break my wrist while swinging it, I looked as the Haunt roared in anger and peeled back its skin revealing its skeleton.
'Alright, now I can try out some things.' I thought as I crouched down and put the nail on my back.
I was trying to develop a sword art that relied on speed and power, I decided to move more beast-like as it gives me more speed. But that means that I will have to run on three limbs, I began to run at the Haunt.
I brought up my nail and swung down, but I lost balance due to that and fell onto the floor. I slowly stood up while thinking 'Damn that didn't work. And my face is all dirty now, well I should never go on all fours ever again.'
The Haunt was confused about what I was attempting to do to it, but that didn't stop it from charging a laser. I then saw it open its mouth, I was hit by the beam. The beam's power made me drop my nail, and it pushed me to the wall.
[Double Damage!! -50 HP]
'DAMN!!! THAT FUCKING HURTS!!!', I thought while my skin was being incinerated by the heat of the beam. My body was steaming from the heat, my nail was alright and Gello was also fine.
I picked up my nail, my body hurt. I crouched down and began to focus, but it wasn't healing my wounds as fast as I wanted it to. I decided to use [Purify] my soul was now pure white and my wounds were healing much faster.
I ran at the Haunt, I got near him and spun. My nail entered the Haunts head, I put my hand on the butt of the nail and pushed it in. My nail broke the Haunt's face, I pulled the nail out and kicked the Haunt's head in.
The Haunt was killed, an item pedestal appeared as well as a trap door and a blue door. The Haunts body was on the floor, I decided to integrate it.
My arm split apart into tentacles, they wrapped around the Haunt's dead body and began to tear it apart. It was kinda satisfying to see it get torn apart, my arm returned to its normal appearance and I received two notifications.
[Level Up~!]
[Gained Skill! Multi-Shot: BOoo~ Shoot five blood tears at your enemies, causing them to get the fear effect. You can only shoot it after taking damage.]
'Hmm, this is really useful, wait a second? Have I ever tried to shoot tears before?' I thought, I attempted to shoot tears. But I didn't really know how to, after multiple attempts I came to the conclusion that.

I can't shoot tears, honestly, that doesn't really bother me. Since I have Gello and Multi-Shot.
