The Dungeon System
55.questions

Climbing out of the sewer, Adam had a thick foul smell around his body and a sword on his back, held up by his clothes.

There was an outline of his blade, but it was much less obvious than holding it in his hand and it was the best he could be in the current situation.

Looking up, Adam saw that the outside was still bright, but looking through the sewer for a few minutes, Adam did not see anyone passing him and climbed out.

He had found gold and a sewage drain, where he had gone, was located in an alley.

Adam could strangely recognize the alley and look around him, he suddenly remembered that it was the alley where he slept on the night that determined he had obtained the Underground Prison System.

"It's a coincidence" murmured Adam reminded.

"I'll stay in this alley for the night and after entering the basement I'll leave early and return to my apartment at night" Adam's plan was, see it as his only option.

Sitting in the corner of the alley, leaning against the wall, Adam pondered his day.

[It seems like I have gotten help from the Silver Moon Auction House, and can ask for help from them in the future, which is great as they seem quite rich and powerful. I also got this C-Rank gun. But, I lost the reward for my achievement, it could have been something much stronger if I were in another situation, but overall I gained more than my loss and my identity was not revealed, so I'm happy].

He had managed to form another identity for himself, which he decided he would separate from his own and use at times, at times, because it would allow him to use his power without people actually knowing who he really was.

"Now I have time I can question the system on everything I don't know and if I still have more time until 10 I can meditate" murmured Adam, not wanting to waste time.

[The system explains what a lucky dip is] Adam commands, wanting to know what he can get if he uses it in different situations.

{Well when I explained it before I was violently interrupted. But I plan to do charity work, so I will explain it to you} said the system arrogantly.

The system though its robotic and monotonous voice seemed to have personality and intelligence, making Adam wonder what or who the system was, and why he was given the chance to become a Underground Prison System Hunter.

It also seemed to speak to Adam more and better in the Dungeon and in reality, which he felt, although his system was sometimes annoying, useful.

But just like Cole and all the other things he encountered in the cultivation world, Adam knew he would finally find the answer to his question when the time was right, so he suppressed his curiosity for now.

{Lucky dip can give the host anything that can be found in the store including skills, weapons, and miscellaneous items, according to your current ranking, which is Mortal Ranking. Due to the increased luck of the host, the host obtained something useful for himself at that moment, but at the same time the host lost the possibility of getting something better. Although it was only Lucky Dip Ranked C, so it did not have a high possibility to get something with a high ranking} continue the system.

"So, Lucky Dips is divided into several ranks, with luck increasing along with the rankings, and I can only get something that matches my cultivation rank" Adam summarized to himself.

Adam sat bored in the alley and thought of something else he had that could not be explained to ask the system about it.

[Okay, I understand what you said earlier, but I have another question. What a strange feeling I felt while meditating as if time was passing by quickly and I left my body] Adam asked in his mind.

{Ding, The host has created his own expertise known as Ethereum} Recovery announced the system.

[What, how do I do that] he exclaimed in his mind in surprise.

{While the host is trying to meditate, the host inadvertently forms his own skill. The host's body was not suitable for cultivation and was unique for hunting in the Underground Prison System, but when the host tried to meditate, the host tried to meditate, the host has subconsciously absorbed the energy into the host's body in a manner similar to what cultivators do, which forms a skill. } explains the system.

[So what could he do] asked Adam excitedly, given how useful and powerful the Collector's Skill was.

Hearing the system, Adam instead angrily realizes the truth behind the system's words and how he becomes too dependent on it.

[From what I knew from entering that meditative state, I seemed to leave my body as time went by very quickly without me noticing. I also felt excited and calm after entering that 'smooth' state, which was definitely similar to what cultivators felt. So it must have been a skill that allowed me to recover my MP, HP, and mental status quickly after entering the ethereal state] that Adam had gathered.

{You are absolutely right. If the host used his intelligence once, then the host was actually quite capable. The host has established a quick recovery skill that recovers 10 HP and 1 MP every 5 minutes, which means the host will need more than 2 hours to fully recover from the host MP which is really tiring and it will calm the mind of the host} firmly system.

"That's amazing" cried Adam happily.

He could now exhaust his MP without any worries inside the Dungeon, knowing that it only took him 2 hours to recover his energy.

But Adam noticed that the system did not say that, if he ran out of HP, he would be able to recover, which meant death could still be done if his HP dropped to 0.
