Everyone Else Has a System

Floor 19.

A simple yet cruel floor.

All you need to do is defeat an elemental boss.

Of S6 Grade.

In its own natural domain.

\'I am lucky that I have a Dark Element, with traces of Light Element or else getting trapped on one of these floors would have been inevitable,\' I thought as I moved between the cold mountains in front of me.

This place normally should freeze everyone within the area, but with my blaze element this time, I could easily travel throughout the plane. Unlike last time, where I had to constantly use my blades to heat myself up, this time it was relatively easier.

As I observed the mountains, I tried searching for something that is supposed to be the \'core\' of this place. It was hidden somewhere deep within the mountains in a certain cave.

Last time, I stumbled upon it by chance as I kept dashing to any random location and ended up reaching there. The fight wasn\'t quite easy to scoff at, either.

I kept moving and moving and moving… I kept looking around for anything that would give me even a hint of that den, at least. Though even after 3 or 4 hours passed, I still hadn\'t found that den.

However, as I was getting a bit impatient, I sensed something out of nowhere. Immediately, I closed my eyes for a few moments before sensing something strange at a distance where there was a frozen lake and decided to check there.

Took me 15 minutes to reach there, and I finally found the den. It was below the frozen lake.

\'Found it!\' I smiled as I broke the thin layer of ice with the Ablaze Fragment and jumped down the empty lake reaching the gate of the den.

Soon entering it, I found a White Giant made up of pure Ice Elemental Energy sleeping there. Though as soon as I saw it, he woke up from his slumber and turned at me with a bit of an annoyed look. I saw his form changing into something that was more of a human.

Then he moved closer to me and looked at me and spoke.

"Who are you?"

"A challenger," I spoke as I looked at him with a bit of curiosity. Unlike the rest of the floors, from this point onwards, the enemies actually engage in conversation and hoping to find something similar to that in Dungeon of Chaos. I too, started conversing with him.

"Hmmm… someone actually made it up to here. However, you don\'t bear the mark of ice… Is there anything that you can do to prove yourself?" he asked as he circled around me with a bit of curiosity.

"Prove what exactly?" I asked with curiosity and he spoke again,"something that will allow me to give you my legacy, of course. Isn\'t that why you are here?"

\'Huh? Legacy?\' I looked confused and looking at my confusion, he made a bit of an exhausted expression before speaking,"do you have any power related to ice?"

I looked at him and then shook my head as I spoke,"as of now. No, I don\'t possess any."

Though this made him look at me with confusion in his eyes as he asked,"then why did you come here?"

"What do you mean by coming here? I just landed on this floor from the last floor. It wasn\'t like I had any choice," I asked with confusion, and he made a bit of a baffled face before speaking.

"How is that possible, then? If the dungeon itself sent you here, then there must be something in you that allows you to use Ice Elemental Powers… Something that makes your Ice Elemental Powers stronger than your other Elemental Powers." \'Huh? What is he going on about?\' I questioned myself as nobody knows better about my powers than me and not once in my life have I used Ice Magic… what is going on here?\'

"Hmmm… this puts us in a dilemma, then. All right, there is another way we can look at this then. Let me check your body. I will see if you have any powers related to ice or not. How about it?" he asked and I, although a bit sceptical about it, decided to let him check my body.

The reason was, of course, my Rejection Fragment. If he was going to try anything funny, then he would be the only one to blame for it.

"Okay, check it," I spoke, and he nodded before checking my body as a strange aura flew into my body and a few moments later.

-Dash! He moved back far away as he looked at me with a horrified face and I turned at him with confusion in my eyes. He just stood there blankly for a few moments before asking,

"Are you sure you don\'t have Ice elemental Powers?!!" He asked with a terrified voice and I, a bit confused, still nodded as I answered,"I had never really properly used it in my life."

"Well… then… may I at least know your name first? Before I tell you about my findings," he spoke with the still feared voice and I nodded as I answered,"it\'s… Reaper. That\'s what people call me."

He gulped before speaking,"all right, Mr. Reaper. For whatever reason in your life… I don\'t know why your System never told you but… Your potential in using Ice Magic is infinite… Are you sure you have never used this power in your life before?"

He spoke, and I looked at him blankly as I looked at my hands… They were still normal. I didn\'t know any ice spells to check it. Hmmmm… the most I can do is to manipulate the surrounding ice a little.

Though I always thought about using Ice Magic if the situation demands it… I never got in a situation to use it, did I?

"Well… how about I teach you a small spell of ice to you? This should clear the confusion for you," he spoke, and I nodded, since that would be the best thing to do right now.

"This spell is called [Ice shards]," he spoke as he began showing me a simple Ice Magic.
