The longer William stayed in that place, the more he began to see it as a game. The world itself felt like that because of the system they were part of, but the dungeon they were in had some unique features not commonly found in the outside world.
Matthew and the others there didn't know about the games William used to play on Earth. To them, the system was a natural part of existence, something that had always been there. William, however, understood that this was not the case. He couldn't reveal to anyone that he had come from another world—essentially, that he was one of the summoned heroes—so he chose to remain silent and continued to level up in the dungeon.
After hours of battling goblins, William had leveled up twice, while Matthew gained four levels. Matthew had entered the tenth floor of the dungeon at a lower level, which explained why he was earning experience faster than William.
They decided to take a short break near a tree.
