When I focused at the map on top corner, the red dots had grown from 2 to 5, which means more goblins to fight and I can level up.
Then I remembered the gamer's mind skill which was off, I thought to activate it, and immediately my mind felt like it had cooled down and I could think of a dozen ways and tricks to fight the 5 goblins outside without taking even a single damage.
Gripping my sword tighter, I peeked through the small open into the corridor....
---------------------------
The two goblins from before were still in their original places, but three new goblins were standing next to them.
Picking up a stone from the ground, I threw it with all my strength in the direction away from the room where I was in, and on hearing the stone making sounds, three of the goblins started moving towards it.
Even if I knew that I am stronger now and will not die, why to take a risk when you can simplify it.
As soon as the three goblins had disappeared from my sight, I darted out of the room and immediately moved towards one of the goblins, the goblins also turned at the sudden sound, and upon spotting me, immediately roared, running towards me.
I immediately blocked the first goblins and moved out of the way to evade the other goblins attack, but missed and had a small nick on my abdomen, then before the first goblin could attack again I stabbed my sword in its gut, turning it to ash, and block the second goblin which was lunging towards my head, and brought down my sword on its head, turning it to ash too.
Without even giving me a chance to adjust, the other three goblins also appeared at the end of the corridor, charging towards me.
I gripped my sword and got into a basic sword stance and rushed towards them.
The three goblins did not rush at me at the same time which allowed me to grab the first goblin as soon as it neared me and throw it at the third one, simultaneously blocking an attack from the second one and then stab it in its chest, turning it to ash. I quickly followed up and sliced the other two goblins who were still fallen before they got up.
The battle was over and five more magic stones to my pouch, bring the total upto 12 magic stones.
Another thing I felt grateful regarding the system was that it had my health and stats digitalized, meaning that any fatigue or injuries I got would would just result in a decrease of hp points and not hinder me from fighting, and also no mental strain due to the skill gamers mind.
Because normally, other adventures had to fight while keeping their fatigue and injuries in mind, otherwise they might end up dying due to a momentary lapse of concentration or missing a single strike due to their fatigue build-up.
I had decided to level up first and then think whether to complete the unique quest, reaching floor 5 or not.
Ah, there was also the random quest of killing 10 monsters in 5 mins and the daily quest of killing 200 monsters and till now I had only killed 12.
Lets go in order, first the random quest, then the daily quest and then the unique quest.
After deciding my route of action, I headed towards the direction in which the three goblins had rushed back.
I think my luck was good? because three more goblins had spawned before I even reached the end of the corridor, which were swiftly taken care adding 3 more magic stones in my pouch.
I then looked at the map, it was lit up and showing the way back from the place I was in and the way back towards the dungeon entrance. The rest of the surroundings were black, maybe I had to explore it for it to light up?
I sheathed my sword and started moving in a random unexplored direction to complete my quest and light up the map.
...
I ducked to the side and slashed against the final goblin out of the five goblin who had spawned as soon as I entered a new corridor and felt a rush of power in my body.
Feeling strange I checked the system only to see a notification showing that I had leveled up.
I immediately opened the status screen to check the changes in my status.
[ Status:

Title: none...

The exp required for level 2 was increased to 200, my hp and mp had increased by a 100.
Constitution and spirit had increased by a point, I guess that was the reason which caused me to feel a power surge.
I also had 2 free status points, which I left it as is, keeping it for when I may need it.
I had also successfully completed the random quest and the rewards were,
[Quest,
Random Quest: Kill 10 monsters in 5 min (Completed)
Rewards: Skill - Spatial Sense]
On clicking on the the reward, a smaller pup-up explained the ability in detail.
[Spatial sense: Allows you to sense anything in a certain range of space all around you.
Current distance: 5m
Ability can be developed the more you use it.]
I was really satisfied with such a powerful skill as a reward and once again set out to hunt more goblins.
...
I think I had lit up maybe 50% of the entire 1st floor, not sure because I had nothing to compare to, and I could not see the entire first floor map, there were a few more scratches on my armor and a small scratch on my cheek due to my carelessness while fighting using the spatial sense for the first time and was overloaded with the inputs from everything around me and could only evade the attack at the last minute.
Also the scratch immediately healed after the fight and when I checked the status screen, it showed my hp had gone down by 5 points.
[ Hp: 1595 / 1600]
My mp was still full as I still had not learned any magic.
The magic stones in my pouch had increased from 12 to 40, and after leveling up to Level 2 the exp from the monster had gone down to 3 exp each from 5 exp.
