Currently, I'm inside the old mansion here underground...
I'm just by the doors, sitting in a lotus position.
I'm here so that I can leave imdiately if sothing bad happens.
-eeeep...
Pyro is sleeping soundly on my lap.
And as for ...
"Fuuuu..."
I'm doing my best to recover my stamina and mana as quickly as possible.
"Fucking hell."
I mumbled under my breath.
My whole body aches, my wounds sting, and I'm ridiculously sleepy at the mont.
I want to sleep, but I can't let my guard down here...
And even if I could...
'I'm too thirsty and hungry to actually sleep.'
"Ugh, I feel like dying."
I whispered to myself.
Then, glancing at my side...
=====
Achievent: Discover a dungeon that was not in the ga!
-----
Reward: 5 points to all stats!
=====
I saw the system window that appeared earlier.
"A dungeon, huh."
I muttered, a slight frown on my face.
The window's content says this mansion is a dungeon.
In short...
'Monsters are here.'
And that's why I can't rest here either.
Though, it also ans that there's a teleportation gate at the end of this mansion that leads back up to the surface.
And lastly...
"There are rewards for to get here."
I mumbled, wondering what kind of treasures are hidden in this place.
Before, I was really reluctant to dive into this place.
After all, it's an undiscovered dungeon and it wasn't in the ga, so I have no idea what's inside...
I can't prepare for them.
But I really have no choice in the matter.
This is the only way for to move forward and get out of this place.
So now that I'm here anyway and that's the case...
"Let's just reap those rewards and get stronger."
I decided to make the most out of it.
*****
After a few hours...
-ep?
Pyro woke up.
"Had a good rest?"
I asked him.
And looking at with pitying eyes...
-ep.
Pyro answered. He said yes.
He's probably worried about my condition.
And I can't really bla him...
My voice was hoarse, and my lips were dry as fuck.
There's probably no energy left in my eyes, either.
I look like a dried-up zombie now, with blood spattered all over my clothes and the cape Old Man Rey gave .
Anyway, moving on...
"Let's go explore this place."
I said that as I stood up.
I already recovered my stamina.
-ep...
Pyro voiced out his concern for .
"Don't worry, I'm still fine."
But I just said that to reassure him.
-...
Pyro remained silent, just looking at .
I could tell he was worried, but I couldn't just stay here forever.
So, with that...
Tap- tap- tap—
I ventured deeper into the mansion.
*****
After walking for a while down the hallway of the mansion...
I reached its end.
And there...
I saw three doors leading to different rooms—one on each side and one directly in front of .
And in ga logics...
"Only one of these doors leads to a safe room."
I mumbled confidently, a weak smirk forming on my face.
-...
Pyro just looked at weirdly.
Anyway, focusing on the doors...
"Let's go left."
I said that and opened the door on my left.
Creak—
And imdiately after doing so...
-Graaahhh...
-Grrrr...
-Rrrrrrr...
I saw a bunch of monster wolves like the ones I fought earlier, except there were more of them this ti.
So, without hesitation...
Thud—
I closed the door.
"Not that room, huh."
I said awkwardly, sweating slightly.
-ep.
Pyro agreed with .
Then, looking at him...
"Where do you think we should go?"
I asked Pyro.
-ep?
Pyro chirped, then after thinking for a second...
-ep!
He looked at the middle door.
"Got it."
I replied and headed to the center door.
Quietly...
Creak—
I opened it.
"..."
And after taking a good look at what was inside...
Thud—
I imdiately shut the door again.
'Nuh uh.'
I thought.
Inside the middle room were Kobolds!
And they're classified as D- rank monsters!
"Hmm, maybe not there either."
I said, forcing a smile at Pyro.
-ep!
Pyro imdiately agreed, mimicking my smile.
I walked toward the last door, the one on the right.
And as I stared at it...
'This should be the safe one... right?'
I wondered, doubt creeping into my mind.
I was starting to feel scared of what might be waiting inside.
But nevertheless, swallowing my fear...
"Here I go."
Creak—
I opened the door.
And what greeted ...
"Fuck."
Made curse unconsciously.
Thud—
I shut the door much faster than the previous ones.
And there, I stood still for a while...
"..."
Speechless.
-...
And so was Pyro.
Inside the room just...
There was a fucking giant boar monster, sleeping on the floor!
"Is that a boss monster?"
I asked in shock.
But I imdiately shook my head and trashed the idea, I'm still at the early stage of the dungeon, after all.
So, most probably...
That was a mini-boss.
"And I need to defeat that thing to move on to the next stage..."
I muttered, an annoyed frown on my face.
*****
Still standing at the end of the mansion's hallway...
"..."
I looked at the doors again.
'Left, monster wolves.'
'Middle, Kobolds.'
'And lastly... right, the mini-boss.'
I took a ntal note of what was behind each door.
And after that...
"Fuck ."
I cursed out loud, massaging the temple of my head in annoyance.
There was no door leading to safety, the rooms just got progressively harder as you moved from left to right.
And obviously, to advance to the next stage, I needed to clear the mini-boss room.
"Fuck that too."
All I could do lately was curse my luck.
'Why is this happening to ?!'
Anyway, with my current condition and strength...
There was no way I could defeat that giant boar.
So, what's my plan now?
Well...
'So I'd still start at the room on the left, huh.'
I figured I'd go through the first two rooms and, hopefully, grow strong enough after clearing them to take on the giant boar.
And so, I rested for a bit more before initiating this plan of mine.
...
*****
"..."
Quietly standing in front of the door on the left...
"Fuuuu..."
I let out a heavy sigh.
I closed my eyes.
"..."
Then I tried to recall what I'd seen in the room earlier.
'I rember the monster wolves being clumped together in a group.'
They were practically sticking to one another.
'And I think there were roughly more than thirty of them inside.'
With that in mind...
"Okay."
I mumbled, opening my eyes.
And imdiately...
Clap—
I clapped my hands in front of , both arms stretched out.
With a fierce look in my eyes...
"[Lit up]"
I murmured.
Swaaaaaah—
A huge fire appeared from my hands and engulfed them.
And pulling my right hand back like I was drawing a bowstring...
Fwip—
The fire transford, taking the shape of a bow and arrow!
And since maintaining this spell continuously consud my mana...
Bam!
I didn't waste ant second and kicked the door in front of open!
-Grrrr?
-Awooooh?
-Graaah?!
The monster wolves turned to , startled by my sudden entrance.
And not missing that sweet opportunity...
"[Shoot]"
I said that.
Swoosh—
Then the fire arrow flew...
Boom—!
And struck five monster wolves!
Two of them died instantly on impact...
-GRAAAHHH!!!
-AWAAAAAAOUUUH!!!
-GAAAAAARRGH!!!
The other three didn't, but they caught fire, one of them died because of it a little later.
Anyway...
Fwip—
I pulled the string of the fire bow again.
And as soon as I did...
Fwoosh—
It was reloaded with another fire arrow!
"..."
It drained a huge amount of my mana.
And just then...
-GRAAAHHHH!!!
-AWOOOOUH!!!
Ten monster wolves charged at !
I quickly aid at them.
And without hesitation...
"[Shoot]"
I fired the arrow!
Swoosh—
Boom—!
The arrow killed four of them instantly.
Three more caught fire and died shortly after.
But the remaining three...
-GRAAAHHHH!!!
-GAARGH!!!
-GRRRRGH!!!
They reached unhard and leaped toward !
I didn't have ti to reload another arrow.
Fwish—
So I canceled the spell.
Fwip—
And quickly drew a dagger with my right hand!
"Gugh...!"
I imdiately squatted down.
Swoosh—
Dodging their attack successfully.
And while I was beneath one of them...
SLASH—!
I swung my dagger upward, slicing open a monster wolf's stomach!
Thud—
It fell lifelessly to the ground.
Tap—
The other two safely landed on their paws.
"[Bang]—[Bang]—"
But I quickly shot them with my left hand!
Thud—
The bullets struck the backs of their heads, killing them instantly.
And with that...
'I killed thirteen monster wolves in less than a minute.'
I noted in my head.
The corners of my lips curled upward.
I couldn't help but feel excited.
Looking at the remaining monster wolves, I saw them charging at .
-GRAAAAHHH!!!
-AWOOOOOO!!!
It seed like they didn't care if they died anymore, as long as they could take down with them.
Seeing that...
Bam!
I rushed toward them too!
I'm riding my adrenaline rush!
But when I got close to them...
"[Wind Blade]!"
I cast a spell, slashing through most of them and killing two in the process!
I wasn't stupid enough to fight them purely in close combat, after all.
"Bring it on, motherfuckers!"
I exclaid.
