Chapter One : Troy De Silva
*****
"City No.9F0178 has been destroyed! Let's pray the souls of our dead breathen."
"As you can see, three Destruction Grade Behemoths are currently rampaging on he ground, sweeping what's left with the survivors."
"Estimation of death casualties reach 5 million, including the death of the city lord and three A-ranked city protectors. Only one A-ranked hero left, which is Sasha Moross, the Violet Snow Queen."
Troy switched off the TV as he laid down his head on the couch, one hand clutching his chest as the other tightened into fist.
He couldn't but grit his teeth while remembering the report of the newscaster on the TV.
Destruction Grade Behemoths!
5 million of deaths!
He can''t really believe what's just happen.
This was too much!
Troy knows that this world called Cerulean Planet, is undergoing in its near end of apocalypse.
He, who once died three months ago, can't believe in himself that he would experience death again in near future.
What kind of shitty luck is this?
According to his memory, there's at least 30 years since the apocalypse started.
First generation of heroes rapidly increase on their powers through the baptism of thd life and death crisis.
Now, as a second generation of apocalypse era, he could train his body and learned mystic arts.
After Troy trasmigrated from Earth to Cerulean Planet, he inherents the potential of this body.
There's a system panel after he graduated and awakened his cultivation.

*****
With an F-ranked cultivation and one F-ranked stat, the rest are normal.
To graduate in school, one must reach F-ranked in cultivation. It is the most trash among his batch.
With a Vitality Stat as low as 18, Troy wasn't surprise that the past soul of this body was dead.
18 points in Vitality represents the life of the soul. Unless he strengthen his Vitality Stat, it won't increase by itself.
When Troy awakened in this world, he was in the hospital bed, lying on it while the doctor explain what's cause to it.
Troy killed himself in the midst of awakening. Witnessing it personally, even he can't help but feel embarrased also.
But Troy promised that day, that he would prove to the world that this trash, the world's pointing at him, would one day stand up on the sky, feeling the freedom on the clouds.
Only three months passed by until this day, but Troy was still confused on his talent.
He has two talents. He could understand the first, Soul Traveler, as he was a transmigrator from the other world.
But the second one seems error?
At the end of it, Troy concluded that the second potential did not awakened as thd past life of his died in the middle of awakening.
He shrugged it off and let fate comes by. If its a good one, its his boon. If its a bad one, its his misfortune.
Today, he planned to leave this city as he go to the next stop of his adventure.
He planned to go dungeon raid with others.
Actually, this world isn't dangerous. The world have magic circles scatted around the world. Inside of each magical circle is a mini world or much more common term as dungeon.
Dungeons are classified its ranks depending on how big its size.
On the city he lived, there are five F-Rank Dungeons, three E-Rank Dungeons and one C-Rank Dungeon.
Today, he already planned to enter one of the five F-Rank Dungeon, Trovell Forest.
To clear this dungeon, one must finish the given stages and kill the dungeon boss.
Troy already studied the in and out of this place.
There are five different kind of monsters inside this dungeon.
Green Slime.
Bloody Wolf.
Evil Pixie.
Evil Eye Butterfly.
Trovell Ent.
This dungeon is a mix classification of a kind. While other dungeons have one kind of monster race which is call racial dungeons.
Troy choose this dungeon since it is the most easiest among the five. He could hide, run and escape if he was surrounded by monsters.
The dungeon location was on the northeastern part outside of the city.
Using his leftover money, he took a vehicle who's taking different awakeners towards the dungeons.
After a half an hour, Troy reach the destination with a buzzling hub.
There are many merchants buying and selling loots on the ground. There are awakeners lining at the entrace points. From time to time, there's someone shouting looking for a teammate for their parties.
But Troy ignore them and took the spot at the end of the line.
Wearing a tunic made of monster hide and shortsword on his waist, he stand quietly on the line, ignoring the quizzical looks of the bystanders.
"Look, I think this this guy would go solo the dungeon."
"Another arrogant man."
"Tsk. Looking at his equipments, he should just been awakened."
"What a noob! Didn't schools teach to never underestimate a dungeon? Weak or stronger ones, there's still a possibility of dying if one is careless."
Troy ignore their spiteful murmurs and look straightfully at entrance.
Troy knows what he should do and he shouldn't. He knows what his strength and his weakness. He already took the point the where his very sure to finish this dungeon even he's alone, accounting his stats and capabilities.
If the one is the past Troy who's gonna solo the dungeon, he's 100% sure that this young man would die inside .
But his different.
He's the one who's life already been matured.
Together with his memories and his past life, even if he's a mortal, Troy could still kill a living being if his life is on its stake.
*****
Troy waited for almost 4 hours. Its already dark and reach 8pm on time.
But this place is still full of life and buzzing with noises.
After a party of three entered the dungeon, he was stopped by these soldiers who guarding the entrance.
"Where's your party members young man?"
The soldier on his right asked. He looks a middle aged man with a mustache.
The other young guard on his left took his identity card.
"Troy De Silva. F-Rank Cultivation. Newly Awakened?" The young guard asked.
Troy nodded to him and said on the other soldier to his right.
"Only me."
The two soldiers look each other. Suddenly, they both laughed loudly until the masses joined, laughing together.
"Kiddo. You're very brave to solo a dungeon."
The middle aged soldier gives Troy a thumbs up. But, the other soldier stopped laughing and looked at Troy with his stern eyes.
"Young man. Are you really gonna a solo run for this dungeon?"
Troy looked at him with a resolute look and gave a dry answer.
"Yes."
The soldier stand up straightly and gave a reminder to Troy.
"90% of solo run dungeoning have an outcome of purely death. The remaining 10% left, they were either high lever awakeners or they were geniuses."
"Even if this was an F-Class Dungeon with escape link, there's still a big possibility of dying inside. Are you really gonna solo this dungeon?"
The soldier gave him a final warning. But Troy was really resolute to enter solo in a dungeon.
"Okay. Swipe thd card before entering. This would register your file."
The soldied gave it back his card and went back to position.
After a while, the color of the entrance turned bloody red.
"Ahhh!!"
The people outside couldn't help but cry in surprise.
Troy's eyes turned cold.
He knows this sign.
It means a complete wipeout.
