Leveling

gulp

Even after all his progress, Jin Woo could not help but be wary of what was about to happen.

However, his excitement as growth overcame his fears.

Just a moment ago, when he was looking for a suitable place to start a Quest,

Jin Woo uses his phone to see Class's explanations of various video games.

[New skill]

[Growth benefits]

[Class Special weapons]

[Quest Class special]

[... Etc]

One thing that is common in various video games says if the Class upgrade has a lot

benefits and rewards.

"And it became possible for me who had already reached level forty"

Of course, not everything he found was positive.

There are forum posts here and there complaining because of that too:

[I'm afraid I've chosen the wrong class]

[Damn, if I knew like this, I would have chosen a different class]

[I messed up my character's build-up.I think I'm done with this game]

[Do I have to remove my character?]

... Well, they are still talking within the scope of video games.

Jin Woo is not worried about what class he will choose.

He had only used a dagger until now, and even his Skills were all related to Class

Assassin.

Dagger skills and something like ‘Stealth’. ’

Moreover, his attributes were mostly focused on strength and dexterity.

Because of this, Jin Woo could not think of getting another Class besides Assassin.

Thinking about the idea, Jin Woo called Casaka's Poisoned Fang from his storage.

shooo

The dagger's grasp felt perfect in his hand.

He nodded to himself.

"Yes, this is what I do"

With a dagger in hand, Jin Woo turned his gaze to the Quest screen.

'All right then…'

He began to imagine as many possibilities as he could.

After a moment of preparing his heart, Jin Woo answered the message.

[Quest Class Enhancement has arrived]

[Do you want to accept? (Y/T)]

'Accept'

As he said the word in his mind, a message appeared.

ring ~

[You have received a Class Enhancement Quest]

[The Dungeon will be created for the Quest's needs]

'Dungeon ... will be created?'

Before he could fully understand the meaning of his message, a change occurred before him.

wooooong

A small black hole appeared before his eyes, but that was only the beginning.

woo wooooong

Holes that were once as small as beans grew to the size of coins, then volleyball, then

eventually it became big enough that someone could enter it.

'This…?'

Jin Woo's eyes were wide open.

After receiving the Quest, he hoped that another information screen with the Quest information would follow.

but not this time ...

A Gates had formed before his eyes.

'To think that it would even make Gates ...'

The phenomenon in front of him was exactly the same as the Gates that appeared in the world.

The only difference was that it was slightly smaller than what he was used to seeing.

The System Message continues, and calls him in

[Please enter the Dungeon through Gates]

‘Tenace.’

Jin Woo calmed his heart.

Yep.

If he thought about it, would he enter using the key or through the Gates, the Dungeon would always

waiting for him on the other side.

He was simply shocked by the creation of the artificial Gates before his eyes.

While he had entered many Gates before, he had never seen it created.

When he reached that line of thought, an idea popped into his head,

"Wait ... Can another Hunter enter these Gates?"

No time to experiment.

There were no other Hunters around now, nor did he know any Hunters were coming

if .. he .. call him ....

Jin Woo wiped Yoo Jinho's face from his mind and shook his head.

"What would I do if there was a mistake about this"

The System Message blinked as if to remind him,

ring ~

[Please enter the Dungeon through Gates]

Jin Woo is jolted back into the real world by that electronic tone.

He slapped his cheek to be focused.

"Now is not the time to be distracted."

Success here means getting Class and other rewards.

He was afraid of the failures that haunted him.

So he has to focus.

"Gee-"

After taking a deep breath, Jin Woo held Casaka's Poisoned Fang with

clutches up and enters Gates.

________________________________________

[You have entered the Dungeon]

'Huh?'

To be honest, he expected a lot after getting into the Dungeon.

But contrary to his expectations, there was not much surprise there.

It was just a Dungeon with a simple cave.

"That's the same as always ...?"

He had heard that high-level Dungeons would be connected to different types of interiors and

I expected something similar but was disappointed.

However, a special message appeared,

ring ~

[In this place, the use of potions and stores is restricted, and leveling up will not return

your Status]

Jin Woo puts away the dagger after making sure that there are no monsters around.

‘... It doesn't seem like this will be easy.’

Since this is a Dungeon specifically for Class enhancement, there seems to be some conditions here.

The fact that he could not heal himself through potions or level-ups

that bothers him a lot.

'That means even minor damage will accumulate over time and it will become

dangerously'

Injuries will be the end here.

Without the means of recovery, he must be careful of every step he takes.

"I really need to focus"

Jin Woo closed the mailbox.

As he always did, he checked the Dungeon's exit.

[Until your Class advancement Quest is complete, you can't leave]

As he placed his hand on Gates, the message appeared.

He put the back of his hand inside, but the exit did not move.

"..."

He pulled his hand.

"So the exit is blocked."

He had yet to know the difficulty level of this Dungeon.

Moreover, he was unable to recover himself here.

And finally, he didn't leave until he could finish.

The risk this time is very high.

Even the bravest Hunter would hesitate before entering under such conditions.

"But high risk doesn't necessarily mean it's bad"

High risk equals high reward.

He has learned a lot from his experience.

If all these conditions made the Quest even more difficult, it might be an equal reward

great waiting at the end.

Well, there's only one way to find out.

'Time to go.'

Jin Woo starts to walk deeper into the cave.

He could not see the end of the tunnel and at the same time did not see or

monster feel.

‘Wait, since this is System territory, is it a "monster" and not a "beast" ?'

Uh, in the end, both are still dangerous creatures.

There was one difference in this place compared to ordinary Dungeons.

The walls of the cave are decorated with torches, and are evenly placed across the street.

‘Drill instead of luminous stone.Hmm ... '

Torches are not an effective light source.

Even if there were many of them, it was not enough to fully illuminate the tunnel

the dark.

Thus, the twinkling light produced many shadows here and there.

The combination of shadow and silence produced a very gloomy atmosphere in comparison

with a normal Dungeon.

"Well, I don't have a problem seeing."

What bothered him was the impact on his mood.

Jin Woo goes and releases a nearby torch from the wall.

'It's better.'

Jin Woo smiled with satisfaction.

He glanced back, then began to advance again, with a torch in hand.

________________________________________

How long has he been walking on this straight path?

After some time, he finally found a branch.

Around the corner, he felt some presence.

'Finally.'

He carefully dropped the torch to the ground.

shooo

In the place of the previous torch, it had now been changed into a dagger.

He briefly considered using 'Stealth' to gain an advantage but

decided to save mana; the potion could not be used after all.

If he carelessly spent mana, he might not be able to use the skill

in a very important moment.

‘... They come here.’

Jin Woo sticks his back against the wall, then waits for the enemy to come from a corner.

clip, clang

A metallic sound rang as they walked towards him.

The sound is getting closer.

clip, clang

Hearing that rude voice, Jin Woo became curious,

"Are they holding some kind of chain weapon?"

He was curious but not worried.

He'll know soon enough.

‘5, 4, 3.’

He held the dagger with a reverse grip and held his breath.

He did not want his breath to be heard.

‘2, 1.’

clip, clang

Finally, their shadow appeared in the corner.

‘... 0.’

As Jin Woo finished counting down, the object appeared by itself.

Jin Woo immediately went to slash her neck.

Clangs!

The sound of metal striking the metal sounded loud.

The dagger did not penetrate the target.

'Armour?'

Jin Woo was surprised.

Confirming the identity of his enemy, he quickly retreated.

"Man?"

It was a knight equipped with a complete set of armor.

Even his face was covered by a helmet.

Just in case, Jin Woo called out to the Knight,

"Oi!"

The knight reacted by attacking towards Jin Woo.

clang,clang,clang!

The knight excitedly used his shoulder to try to attack Jin Woo,

but Jin Woo easily twisted his body to avoid the attack.

The knight could not stop his momentum and ran forward a little before stopping.

'Not human?'

After slightly expanding his senses, Jin Woo was convinced.

The knight had no heartbeat.

It was a monster, or rather, a monster he had never seen before.

To think that there would be monsters covered in armor from head to toe.

'It turns out so…'

It was almost the same as him fighting with other humans.

shie!

The knight turned around and unsheathed the sword by his side.

As Jin Woo thought, it had no intention of letting her go alive.

Confirming each other's hostility, Jin Woo's eyes became sharper.

‘Sprint!’

[The speed of your movement increases by 40%]

The first to attack is the winner!

Before the knight could get close to him, Jin Woo entered his range first.

the slash!

The Hunter dodged his panic swing and stabbed his armor here and there.

clang! clang!

But he can't do any damage.

"The armour is too thick."

Not only that, it could almost be said to be slippery.

His dagger slipped helplessly and deflected every time he hit the armor.

The knight swung his sword in a horizontal line.

the slash!

Jin Woo ducked to dodge.

The blade of the sword passed several inches above his head.

Because the attack was strong, the gap created after it disappeared was also just as great.

Jin Woo did not miss the opportunity.

Still in close range, Jin Woo focused all his strength onto the dagger.

‘Vital Stab!’

Cracks!

The dagger pierced through his armor.

'Does that work?'

However, as if it did not get any damage, Night ignored the dagger sticking out

from his side and move the sword in a vertical line.

the slash!

Jin Woo threw his body behind him.

clang!

Sparks of fire flew from the ground that was struck by the sword.

"..."

Jin Woo straightened himself after taking a few steps back.

Casaka's Poisoned Fang was still clinging to the knight's side.

Che.

Jin Woo clicked his tongue.

"He's not very strong."

Thatvs right.

Because of his armor, the knight's movements became slow.

Not only that, his attack pattern was also rather simple.

The main obstacle was his strong resistance to sharp weapons.

Jin Woo rolled up his sleeves.

"If it's a tough armor that can't be pierced by a knife, I already have

experience to fight with bare hands"

He maintained his calm.

He remembered the boss who could easily break the power of the enchanted sword.

He remembered how he had dropped the giant snake.

'Compared to Casaka, this bastard is nothing ...'

Thinking of the first boss he ever defeated, Jin Woo smiled nostalgically.

clang,clang,clang!

The knight, who was confident in his armor, attacked Jin Woo once again.

"As expected, he's not that smart."

Jin Woo easily dodged the attack and maneuvered behind his back then

put his hand on the Knight's head.

craaacks!

Of course, his neck was also armored; it probably wouldn't choke with just this.

craaaack!

Jin Woo's arms flexed and showed their pulse.

He did not attempt to strangle the knights.

He clenched his teeth, and his eyes opened wide.

CRACK IT!

With a sickening voice, the helmet was removed.

This was a Strength stat power that had reached above 100.

After losing his head, Knight knelt to the ground.

clang!

[You have defeated the Knight]

The welcoming sight of a message signifies the end of the fight.

While there is a light that shows the drop of the item coming from the corpse of Knight, Jin Woo

focus on something else.

"What, is it empty?"

There was no head on the helmet he was holding.

He also looked into the kneeling armor but found it to be just as empty.

"Then do I fight with moving armor?"

When he reached that conclusion, two other Knights appeared from a corner.

It seems they have noticed me.

clip, clang

After finding Jin Woo, the two Knights pulled out their swords together.

shying

shying

Jin Woo threw out his helmet and stretched his neck and shoulders.

He knew the method to defeat them now.

'Can we start it?'

clang,clang,clang,clang!

Jin Woo smiled at the approaching Knights.

The quest has gone well so far.
