[YOU DEFEATED A INTERMEDIATE-GRADE DEMON]

[YOU RECEIVED 300 EXP]

[YOU RECEIVED A DEMON SOUL]

Jinwoo jumped down from the fallen body of the demon, having finished killing off a demon on the 49th floor. He takes a moment to gaze at his surroundings, it's still the same heat, smoke and ash. But it's slowly been getting hotter as he went up each floor. The movement of shadows with hints of blue moving around trying to find the Entry Permit to allow him to enter the next floor.

"Intermediate-grade demons are high-mid C-Rank at best." he murmurs while looking at the different corpses and walking further onto the floor. Igris and Iron walk behind him making sure no harm falls upon him.

"If there are 100 floors, reaching the top floor in one week? Even at the pace I'm going, it's impossible... Plus I'm running out of the food Y/N made me." Jinwoo says, mostly to himself as he checks what's left.

All there is, is a couple sandwiches and a few power up snacks. Just enough for the 50th floor. Jinwoo sighs as he scratches his head. 'I better bring Y/N here with me next time. I have a feeling after the 50th floor things are going to be different.'

A shadow elf came up to him and presented the Entry permit. "Good job." praises Jinwoo as he takes it and starts heading for the magic circle to go up to the next floor.

All that meets him on the lower top floor is [VULCAN'S GUARDS] and the bigger demon itself [THE RULER OF LOWER FLOORS, AVARICIOUS VULCAN]

Jinwoo scoffs and smirks to himself, summoning his daggers, "Lets begin." with that both sides, shadow and demons pounce on each other.

"Annnddd DONE!" You threw up your hands in the air in a small celebration and then fell backward onto your bed. Having finished jotting down everything you remember about Solo Leveling. Which is less than you know you should know. Why didn't you do it before when first getting transported here? You don't know, but oh well can't change the past.

"Oh! Past!" you quickly scribble some notes about the cup of reincarnation. In the notebook you have a messy timeline and some things you noted down about specific objects or people. So far you have the demon tower, reevaluation, Jinwoo and Jin-ah's mom waking up, Jeju island, Ms Selner the prophet, America arc basically, system architect(s)?, monarchs, rulers, cup of reincarnation, and then refighting monarchs.

"This is horrible. I feel like I'm still missing half of what I should know..." you trail off glancing up at your ceiling . You straighten up and close the notebook, putting it into your inventory.

From the living room, the sound of playful growls and giggles caught your attention. You peeked around the corner to see Ignis and Yukio passing a ball between them, their competitive streaks evident in the way they tried to outmaneuver each other.

A knock at the door startled you, and before you could move, Jin-ah stepped in. She paused, her gaze locking onto the scene in the living room. Her eyes widened momentarily at the sight of Ignis and Yukio but quickly softened.

"You got another one!?" she asked, grinning as she slipped off her shoes.

You chuckled. "Yeah, it's becoming a bit of a zoo up in here."

Jin-ah didn't hesitate to join the fray, scooping up the ball and tossing it toward Ignis. The little dragon leaped into the air, wings flapping wildly as he tried to catch it. Song-Yi entered a moment later, carefully closing the door behind her.
