"ALRIGHT, YOU LITTLE SHITS! PAY ATTENTION WHILE I WIPE THIS RAT'S ASS!"
Suddenly, the monstrous rat who stood on its hind legs began to bleed profusely as its fur began to rip open and reveal the matte-white bones hidden beneath its flesh.
Its guts and organs moved out of the while its ribs created a chest plate so strong that even the fireball of a C-rank magician would barely make a dent at most.
Its head began to rapidly expand, making way for the helmet that slowly started leaking out of its ears and then quickly wrapping around that furry head.
Its forearms split open, forming arm gear and its shins split open, forming greaves that were powerful enough when in tandem with a kick to-
SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING
"You think I'm just gonna let you transform like that?!" I shouted, my smile stretching across my face as my strings of water tore through the rat's weak and very sensitive head.
It immediately began to bleed profusely, with its head slightly bulging again, but just as it swung with its now armored tail, I pulled myself out of the way to above the rat and muttered my next skill.
"[Tidal Strike],"
From my strings of water, a massive wave formed, strong enough to crack even the sturdiest of skulls.
Yet this skull was quite hard and almost impossible to break with such weak pressure, but it was more than enough to send the thing toppling over, just barely catching itself on the wall of the dungeon.
"Don't think about running away now, dickhead!"

"S-Seal," I heard a voice stutter from behind me, a hand reaching out and grabbing my shoulder.
I jolted with surprise, scaring Asger as I quickly snapped around and almost pointed the spear I held in my hand at the young boy's throat.
"Let's get goin-"
Suddenly, I fell to the ground, my knees giving out like I had just run a one-hundred-mile marathon without even the slightest bit of slowing down.
"Huff... huff... huff... huff... oh, shit... That boss got me good," I muttered as blood leaked from my chest, and the remaining bits of adrenaline that had been keeping me going dissolved from my bloodstream.
"My bag... where the hell is my bag...." I muttered, patting the ground around me as my vision went blurry, the icy grasp of death slowly cradling me.
Suddenly, a cold hand reached under my chin and lifted my head up before placing a glass bottle near the tip of my mouth.
I glugged down the thick tasteless liquid but soon asked for another one since this would only temporarily stop me from dying.
[HP: 11/35 MP: 0/10 SP: 0/15] - Normal Human
"Oh, man... I was on one HP," I wearily chuckled before gesturing at Mari to hand me the bag since not only did I need more HP but also MP.
Getting mana sickness was the least of my worries, but it would be quite annoying later on if I ended up surviving but had to take a break for a couple of months until I could start practicing again.
Glug... glug... glug... glug... glug...
"Why do you need blue drink?" Petra asked, wiping some of the drops off my face that had dripped down from my lips and onto my chin.
"If your mana ever drops to zero, immediately drink a mana potion. If not, then prepare for mana sickness, which is the most miserable disease that could ever exist... it lasts for months, and your mana regeneration is completely dead, making you feel sluggish, creating fevers, and, most of all, inhibiting your ability to use skills. Practice is impossible without it,"
All three of my siblings looked at me with worried eyes, but after showing them a forced smile, they all lightly smiled back.
"Alright... help me up... Let's go collect our juicy rewards,"
