Solo Leveling – Chapter 15
(Raise level!)
(Raise level!)
Unlike the Gates dungeon, there was something called a 'respawn' inside the instant dungeon. While he swept away every monster found on the second floor, all the monsters on the first floor were breathing. While he returned upstairs to deal with them, the monsters on the second floor respawned. And so on and so on.
(Raise level!)
(Raise level!)
Jin-Woo jumps between the first and second floors and kills monsters until his level no longer rises.
"Who knows when I'm going to have another opportunity like this?"
Along the way, he became so used to this place that he could predict where and how monsters would try to attack him.
"Monkey, falling from the ceiling …."
He lightly dodged the claws of the monkey-type monster that fell from the ceiling and stabbed it in the chest with his sword. Then….
"Kkiiieeck !!"
"…. One cat each from the left and right."
… And then, he regularly sliced the necks of the panther-like creatures jumping at him from his side.
"Dark!"
"Kahk !!"
(You have killed ‘Briga Blade-Claw’.)
(You've killed 'Black-Shadow Razan'.)

And with the three of them, he had arrived at the end of the second floor.
He had cleared the second floor once more. However, his level had not moved from 15 for a long time now. It seemed that reaching that high was the limit for the first two floors.
"Statistics."
(Stats)
Power: 45
Stamina: 24
Agility: 24
Intelligence: 24
Perception: 24
(Points available for distribution: 0)
With him being level 15, his Stats had improved quite a lot. Her agility is now almost 25. He could finally feel the difference between Agility and the Strength Stat when the first one reached the value of 20.
Agility did not increase his speed, but rather, it was as if the opponent's movements had become much slower in his perception, instead.
"Persis is like watching a slow-motion video."
Scenes of monkeys falling from the ceiling and pouncing panthers were played out in slow motion.

Should he describe it as he can manipulate the flow of time as he wishes? It becomes easier to avoid enemy attacks, and also becomes easier to attack them.
As the word implied, he had indeed become more 'switchy'.
The so-called speed depends entirely on who is looking at it. The higher his Agility Stat, the greater the difference between him and his enemies; from their point of view, he looked like he was moving at an unbelievably fast speed.
"If Strength and Agility were to increase simultaneously, their synergy should be extremely extraordinary."
It was his last appraisal of the Agility Stat.
"Other than that …"
Jin-Woo takes his eyes off.
"What should I do now….?"
He looked at the stairs leading to the third floor.
There was a reason why he continued hunting in the first two floors even though there was a way to go even lower.
"It gives me goosebumps."
With a much higher Perception Stat, he could feel the aura of something ominous lurking there much better than before. Without a doubt, something extremely powerful was hiding somewhere below.
He doesn't have to see it to know.
Jin-Woo remembers the message he saw back at the entrance of this instant dungeon.
(You can't get out of the dungeon. Please defeat the boss first or find the return crystal.)
Existence 'Boss'.
Jin-Woo has been wandering the first two floors to raise his level until he can no longer, all for the purpose of fighting this 'Boss.
He had prepared himself as much as he could, but when the time to actually come there, he became sweaty and nervous.

Jin-Woo lightly slaps both of his cheeks.
"I mean, I've already entered the basement, so I can't just leave without seeing what this boss looks like, now can I?"
A certain amount of tension is a must to maintain peak conditions. And this amount is right for him.
Jin-Woo grips the sword tightly with both hands slowly going down the stairs. Could he be mistaken when his steps felt longer than before?
He swallowed a dry spit.
His lighting was worse than the first two floors, but there was no problem with seeing where he was going.
"Is it because of my Perception Stat?"
He could not help but feel that his vision had improved greatly.
He carefully climbed to the bottom until he finally found the railway tunnel used by the subway.
No, he saw where the train used to be.
The tunnel that was supposed to be used by the carriage was now filled with a pitch-black liquid.
'What is this?'
Instead of a subway tunnel, it is more like a lake or river now.
Just as Jin-Woo takes one step forward to take a closer look ….
A long log-like object came out from the black 'water' surface.
Swish!!
'That's fast!'
The creature that arrived before his nose in the blink of an eye was not wood, but rather a snake with a thickness that rivaled, in fact.
"Heop !!"

Shocked, Jin-Woo can only swing his sword and hit the snake's head away from him.
Clang!!
Jin-Woo's eyes open wider.
"What what the fuck?!"
He had indeed managed to stray towards the crashing snake, but a trustworthy steel longsword finally broke out from the collision.
Jin-Woo looks surprised again.
The snake must have been shocked by his counterattack as well since he did not try to follow through immediately, but instead chose to just glare at him while encircling himself from a distance.
"Ruler of the swamp, Kasaka Blue Rice Poison."
Jin-Woo can clearly see the name of the orange-colored monster.
It was a creature that was much faster and harder than a creature with a white name.
'Even then, for a sword that was strengthened with magic energy to break like that ….'
Jin-Woo gulps nervously and carefully studies a Boss monster called Kasaka.
The blue scales covering his entire body gleamed oilyly. As if it was covering itself with thick armor, the scales had no gaps to speak of.
The sword attack would not have worked from the start. That would be the same story for the punches as well.
When Jin-Woo's mind arrives there, Kasaka must complete his own analysis of his prey, as it ends up crashing towards him once again.
No matter how one looked at it, it was a terrifying speed loop, that was for sure.
Swwiiiish !!
"Come!"
When he concentrated hard, he could now clearly see Kasaka's attack, which was something that even he could not understand well at first. This was all due to the increase in the Agility Stat.

Just before Kasaka opens his jaw wide and tries to swallow it, Jin-Woo quickly dodges and lets the attack pass him. At the same time, he hugged the creature and caught it in a headlock. He then tightened his grip.
* SFX for broken bones *
Jin-Woo's Power Stat is almost 50.
An unusually strong pressure tightens around the snake's main artery. The snake could not escape its clutches and thrashed as if in pain. Jin-Woo grits his teeth and strengthens his arm even more.
Slam it!! The explosion!!
Jin-Woo's body hits the walls and floor, but he never lets go of her hand.
"If I don't raise my level as high as I can before coming here …."
It is literally endless wondering about 'what-if' and 'what might happen'.
However, all kinds of thoughts still swirled around in Jin-Woo's head.
If he doesn't raise his level to the limit …
If his Strength Stat was not so high unreasonably….
Then, he had gone through an incredible hell to kill Kasaka.
No, he might even die here.
So, his decision not to go down immediately proved to be a smart one. The choice is right.
Crack down!!
Accompanied by a rather terrible sound, Kasaka's skull surrendered and broke.
(You have killed the ruler of the swamp, Kasaka Blue Rice Poison.)
(Raise level!)
(Raise level!)

As expected of the boss monster.
His level rose by 2 after killing Kasaka.
Jin-Woo tightly clenched his hands.
The stagnant level at level 15 has soared to 17.
In just one day, he madly raised his level from 1 to 17.
'However!'
No one was hunting down a monster boss to gain experience points!
Indeed, if it was a monster boss, then it was all about loot drops!
As he began to examine the dead snake, two points of light began to sparkle from somewhere within his limp body.
"Two items, because that's the boss?"
His expression one of excitement, Jin-Woo reaches out toward the points of light.
Tti-rings.
(You have found ‘Item: Poison Fang from Kasaka’. Take it?)
(You have found ‘Item: Poison Sac of Kasaka’. Take it?)
"Take everything."
As soon as he said those words, a dagger made of bones and a small pouch of liquid appeared in his palm.
(Needle: Fang's Poison from Kasaka)
Scarcity: C
Type: Dagger
Attack +25
Advertisements
A dagger made from Kasaka poison fangs. There was a trace of Kasaka poison on it, so when it attacked, it would cause the effects of Paralysis and Bleeding status. Can be stored in Stock, or can be sold in Stores.
'Paralysis' status effect: target cannot move. The success rate remains.
Status effect 'Blooding': target stamina will be reduced by 1% per second.
Jin-Woo nodded.
‘Belati made of bone, but from fangs, yes. That's not a bad item with those options, huh? '
Next is the bag.
(Needs: Kasaka Poison Pouch)
Scarcity: A
Type: Medicine
A bag of fine poison from Kasaka. It can be found very rarely when hunting Kasakas. Drinking these toxins will give you strong skin, but the toxicity will permanently damage your muscles.
Effect ‘Kasaka’ Iron Scales: 20% reduction in physical damage.
Damaged ‘Otot Side Effects ': Strength -35
Jin-Woo's expression alternates between joy and sorrow.
Fang's poison from Kasaka was a good weapon to replace the broken long sword. Not only did he have more than twice the attack power, but he actually liked the two effects of Paralysis and Bleeding status as well.
"However, this poison sac is a little …."
Initially, he was really happy to find an item with a Rarity rating of 'A', but when reading the description, he realized this was not something he could feel really upset about.
Of course, the effect of reducing all physical damage taken by 20% is a good choice that matches an A-rank item. However, it also carried a fatal punishment for lowering his Strength Stat by 35.
It would be a very painful loss for him especially when he invested all of his points to improve his Strength Stat.

Is this the famous double-edged sword?
No, the expression 'chicken rib' fits this item much better. (TL: korean idiom. This means something like 'people don't give up on chicken ribs even though there isn't too much meat there'.)
Perhaps, he might be able to use this only when his Strength Stat had risen so high that losing 35 points would not affect him in the slightest, which should be in the distant future. It's impossible to drink it now.
"… For now, I have to hold it."
With a dejected expression, he kept both of them inside his Inventory.
Perhaps, if an A rank dagger and a C rank medicine came out, then he might not feel as bad as he did right now. Well, he had just gotten rid of the C-rank drug if it was useless, after all.
At that moment, a new message appeared.
(With the death of the Boss, the inside of the dungeon will return to its original state.)
Suddenly, his vision blurred slightly, and then, it returned to normal, along with a slight dizziness attacking his senses. As he looked around, he found himself inside a normal subway station.
The lights up there shone brightly, and the black liquid that filled the tunnel also vanished.
"… But, where is everyone?"
Not only people, but even the strange chariot did not exist.
He even checked the time thinking that the train had stopped running for the day because it was too late, but the clock showed 10pm.
He entered Hapjeong station around lunchtime, so he had spent over 9 hours inside the dungeon.
"I've been there a long time, haven't I?"
If not for his Tiredness Stat being refreshed every time he leveled up, he would have already toppled over from the accumulated fatigue a few times by now.
'However. Isn't it too early for the train to stop running? "
Jin-Woo tilts his head as no train appears, no matter how long he stands there waiting. He decided to leave the station for a while.
As he trudged towards the exit, he could not find a single person. But, as she climbs the stairs to get to the surface, someone yells at Jin-Woo from above.
"Who's there?"
Who knew that the voices of others would be heard welcoming this?
Jin-Woo quickly raised his head. He saw a soldier holding a rifle.
"You who? Why did you get out of there? Have you heard the broadcast? "
The soldier's expression was so serious that Jin-Woo's own expression hardened in an instant.
"Did something happen?"
"Whatis that? How can you say that? "
The soldier approaches, but then, he sees a broken sword in Jin-Woo's hand.
After it breaks, it can no longer be stored in the Inventory, and Jin-Woo doesn't feel like leaving it, so he just takes it out like this.
Seeing that, the light within the eyes of the warrior changed rapidly. He then carefully studies Jin-Woo's current appearance.
Now that this warrior has taken a closer look, Jin-Woo's clothes display various clues about the young man who participated in many of the recent fierce battles.
The soldier's tangled expression shone in an instant.
"Are you a Hunter?"
And
