Kenji stood in the clearing, his heart still racing from activating the Multiversal Group Chat System. The interface in front of him was a swirling mosaic of colors and symbols, names and messages flickering across the screen. Some of the text was in languages he recognized, but others were completely alien. It was overwhelming, but also exhilarating. The multiverse at his fingertips, and he could feel the weight of its possibilities pressing down on him.
[System Alert!]
Multiversal Group Chat System Activated!
Welcome, User Kenji Takahashi.
Kenji took a deep breath, his mind racing. This was it. The moment he had been both dreading and anticipating. The Multiversal Group Chat System was his gateway to untold power, but it was also a risk. He had no idea what kind of beings he might encounter, or what dangers he might be pulled into dealing with. But he couldn't afford to hesitate. Not anymore.
"I need to get stronger," Kenji muttered to himself, his voice steady. "No matter what it takes."
He focused on the interface, navigating through the various menus and options. The system was simple, Gamer's Mind perk kept his thoughts clear and logical. He quickly found the chat function and opened it.
Kenji knew that the Gamer System could be a powerful tool, but he also knew that he needed allies. He couldn't face the dangers of the multiverse alone. With that in mind, he decided to send out a few invites to invite potential allies. After a moment of hesitation, he sent out the invites.

Waiting for responses...
Kenji sighed, knowing it might take some time for the invites to be accepted. In the meantime, he had other things to focus on. He decided against going back home right now. He needed to level up his Instant Dungeon (ID) Creation skill, and he had a quest to complete: reach Level 20 by the weekend.
Kenji returned to the clearing and activated the ID Creation skill. The empty dungeon formed around him, It wasn't much, but it was a start.
[System Alert!]
Instant Dungeon Created!
Enemies: None
Kenji frowned. He needed to level up the skill, and an empty dungeon wasn't going to cut it. He deactivated the dungeon and tried again and again and again up until the skill leveled up, this time focusing on adding enemies.
[System Alert!]
Instant Dungeon(LV 2)
Instant Dungeon Created!
Enemies: Zombies
Kenji grinned. This was more like it. He stepped into the dungeon, his fists glowing with mana.
Zombies were everywhere, the once quiet dungeon was now filled with the undead.
The zombies shambled toward him, their rotting limbs outstretched, but Kenji was ready. He moved with precision and speed, his stats and skills giving him the edge he needed.
He could consider himself lucky as the zombies were all lower levels than him from what he observed.
Moving towards one of the zombies approaching him he imbued mana into his fist and struck its head quick and sharp, killing it in an instant.
[System Alert!]
Enemy Defeated: Zombie
Experience Gained: +100
Item Dropped: Rusty Sword
Kenji picked up the sword, feeling its weight in his hand. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing and he didn't want to keep using his hands to kill undead. He rushed the zombies and started killing them. He felt a new notification appear.
[System Alert!]
New Skill Acquired: Sword Mastery (LV 1)
Effect: Increases proficiency with swords, improving attack speed, damage, and accuracy.
Kenji smirked. This was exactly what he needed. He swung the sword, testing its balance, and then charged at the zombies. The fight was over in minutes, all the undead in the area were dead and gone and he felt a surge of satisfaction as the last zombie fell.
[System Alert!]
Experience Gained: +3000
Materials Gained: Zombie Fangs (x10), Rusty sword, Broken Spear, Zombies Club, Zombies teeth.
It wasn't much, but it was progress. He could already feel himself growing stronger, his stats and skills improving with each fight.
Kenji spent the rest of the day running through the dungeon, killing zombies, and leveling up his skills. By the time he killed enough of the zombies in the dungeon, he had gained 2 more levels and collected a variety of items. But the real challenge was just coming. It seemed he had killed enough to bring forth the boss.

Description:
A powerful undead creature, the Zombie Lord is a towering figure of rotting flesh and bone. Its immense strength and durability make it a formidable opponent, capable of overwhelming even experienced fighters. Its regenerative abilities and resistance to physical damage make it a tough foe to bring down.
Kenji tightened his grip on the sword, his heart pounding in his chest. The Zombie Lord was a towering figure, its rotting flesh barely holding together as it lumbered toward him. The creature's eyes glowed with a sickly green light, and its massive, clawed hands twitched with anticipation. The air around it was thick with the stench of decay.
"This is it," Kenji muttered, his voice steady. "Time to see what you are made of, you sack of rotten flesh."
The Zombie Lord let out a guttural roar, its voice echoing through the dungeon. It charged at Kenji, its massive frame moving faster than Kenji had anticipated. Kenji barely had time to raise his sword and block the creature's first strike. The impact sent him skidding backward, his arms trembling from the force.
"Damn, this thing is strong," Kenji muttered, his eyes narrowing. He activated his Spatial Awareness skill, the world around him slowing down as he focused on the Zombie Lord's movements. The creature swung its massive claws again, but Kenji dodged to the side, his enhanced speed allowing him to narrowly avoid the attack.
It seemed that it was a tier 9 being, or rather it started as a tier 9 so while it was a zombie it can be considered a low class, while not as powerful as the devil he fought it was definitely more powerful than a standard peak human.
Kenji countered with a quick slash of his sword, the blade cutting through the Zombie Lord's rotting flesh. The creature roared in pain, but the wound didn't seem to slow it down. Kenji gritted his teeth, realizing that this fight was going to be tougher than he had anticipated.
The Zombie Lord lunged again, its claws slashing through the air with terrifying speed for a being of its size. Kenji raised his Mana Shield, the glowing barrier absorbing the brunt of the attack. The impact still sent him stumbling backward, but he managed to stay on his feet.
[System Alert!]
Mana Shield has leveled up! (LV 5)
Effect: Mana Shield now provides 30% more protection and consumes 20% less mana.
It definitely had strength greater than the devil he fought, But that was all it had.
Kenji smirked, feeling a surge of confidence. He could do this. He just needed to stay focused.
The Zombie Lord attacked again, but this time Kenji was ready. He sidestepped the creature's claws and landed a powerful Mana Punch to its side. The glowing energy around his fist exploded on impact, sending the Zombie Lord staggering backward.
[System Alert!]
Mana Punch has leveled up! (LV 5)
Effect: Mana Punch now deals significantly more damage and has a higher chance to stagger enemies.
Kenji pressed the attack, his sword flashing as he landed blow after blow on the Zombie Lord. The creature roared in pain, its rotting flesh tearing under the onslaught. But it wasn't going down without a fight.
The Zombie Lord slammed its massive fists into the ground, sending shockwaves rippling through the dungeon. Kenji barely managed to dodge, his Danger Sense skill giving him just enough warning to avoid the attack. He countered with a spinning slash, his sword cutting deep into the creature's side.
[System Alert!]
Sword Mastery has leveled up! (LV 3)
Effect: Attack speed and damage have increased.
The Zombie Lord let out a final, guttural roar before collapsing into a pile of rotting flesh. Kenji stood over the creature, his chest heaving as he caught his breath. The fight had been intense, but he had done it. He had defeated the Zombie Lord.

Kenji grinned, feeling a surge of satisfaction. He had done it. He had cleared the dungeon, defeated the boss, and gained valuable rewards. He a step closer to reaching Level 20.
As Kenji exited the dungeon, he felt a renewed sense of determination. The road ahead would be long and difficult, but he was ready. He had the tools he needed to grow stronger, and he had the resolve to see it through.
But he knew he couldn't do it alone. The Multiversal Group Chat System was a double-edged sword, offering both opportunities and dangers. He would need to be careful, to navigate the multiverse with caution. But he also knew that he couldn't afford to hold back. If he wanted to protect his family, he needed to embrace every advantage he could get.
Kenji opened his system interface and reviewed his progress.
