The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 3 - Discovery

"Damn it! I wish I could find my treasure just a book anyway, damn it!"


I screamed annoyed at the item.


Although it is quite strange to find a book inside a mining place, but I only hope to find gold or something like that, at least it can make a lot of money. 


My hand grabbed the iron-plated book. I didn't think it was heavy enough to pull it too. It was as if the book was still stuck.


Out of curiosity I dug around the book.


And in front of me there was a room quite small, maybe about 3 meters.


And it turns out that this book is on a table, or maybe I can call it an altar? I don't know. The book was clearly chained firmly to the altar.


"Maybe I just open it?"


I also tried to open the book, even though it ended in frustration.


"Damn it, a book like this is padlocked, what the hell is in it? Wait, if the situation is like this isn't this book a treasure?"


I also began to think logically even though armed with a fairly stupid brain. 


"All right, I'll look for him. After all seen from the keyhole in the lock is quite large, so the key must also be large."


I started to surround the small room. There was a door, I went up to him and opened it. Behind the door was a long hallway.


"So this is the only way, right? Well, even if I die, it's not a problem. I'm not a pro player either. Although, this time I felt like I was actually playing a game!"


I walked down the hallway carefully. Because I'm sure, there will definitely be a lot of traps around here.


'Kreek...'


"Damn it!"


My foot stepped on something on the floor, and suddenly 3 arrows shot towards me.


I managed to fend off 2 arrows with a small shield on my left hand. But one of the arrows pierced my leg.


[You have received 649 damage]


[You're exposed to toxic effects! Receive 100 damage every second]


System notifications appeared in front of me. I can only be dumbfounded.


"Huh? 1 Dart gives 600 more damage? What is the effect of this poison? It doesn't make sense!"


With my HP being only around 4600, the damage was quite fatal to me. I immediately took the antidote or antidote that I took from my inventory or storage.


Fortunately, since I have been mining for quite a long time, the toxic effects of various gases in the mine passageway have often been faced. So bringing the antidote for poison and potion is important. It was also one of the reasons I gave a lot of growth points in Vitality.


"Damn it, I have to be more careful this time...."


I continued my intrusion more carefully. This hallway gradually turned into a labyrinth with many twists and confusing directions. Without thinking long I just chose one of them.


Re:Life has been around for 2 years. So the average level of players is quite high. Rank 1 player is Chris, a player from America who now has level 132. My level of only 17 is very low even for the average other player. 


After an arduous 8-hour struggle, and the great sacrifice of dozens of healing potions and antidotes, I had reached the front of a room with a very large door. Even without thinking, I'm sure behind this is the boss who carries the key.


I gulped down another bottle of healing potion to make sure I entered the final battle in top condition. 


"Sisa potion healer.6 bottles, antidote.3 bottles and potion where only 2 bottles.really critical condition."


Moreover, during my journey here to eradicate monsters, my level has risen to level 18! At least I can be proud of it without remembering how many difficulties I experienced.


'Kreeek...'


I opened the door slowly. Behind the door, it was clear that a huge monster was waiting for me.


"Minotaur, damn it, why is this high-class monster the boss."


Minotaur. A monster that looks like a bull. Stand up straight with 2 feet. Both of his hands held a giant axe. Its large, tall body, perhaps about 3 meters tall, was lined with several iron plates. His huge horns and extremely sharp eyes only added to the horror of this monster.


Estimated level of the system....


[Minotaurs. Lv :60]


"What should I do...."


The minotaur used an iron necklace. At the end of the necklace, hang a large key. I'm sure that by defeating this minotaurus I'll get the key to unlock the damn book.


But....


"Can I fight it? Just imagining it makes me cringe."


'Twoarr!!'


The entrance to this room was locked. Well, that situation was already unexpected considering how I got here. 


"But against that monstrous creature with a level 3 times that of me, it feels very unlikely.wait a minute! Should I beat him? There are no system notifications for that. Can't I just steal the key and run away? Wait, is there a way out of here?"


While I was still looking around, the minotaur ran quickly towards me. His enormous hand was preparing to swing the giant axe. 


Since I had gotten a little used to avoiding impromptu traps during my way here, I was able to avoid them by jumping to the side just before impact. Though pretty slick.


The axe inflicted tremendous damage on the surrounding area. The floors, walls and rocks were destroyed instantly.


I was so shocked to see it.


What's more....


The door that was supposed to be tightly locked was already completely destroyed!


"Road Out!" I cried out in joy knowing I could get the key without having to win against it.
