"My name is..." She said and contemplated.She shook her head and said "Well, if you don"t know my name, that means that I"m not that important... I ques you don"t need to know yet."
"yet?"
"I"ll be going now. I know you want to repay me, but don"t worry, you"ll find a chance in the future. The medicine is not something you can repay right now..."
"Here *throws* I think you"ll need them soon."
"Hey, wait! How am I supposed to f-"
"Farewell, Roy Luck" *chuckle*
"!!!"
"Who told her!?" Roy thought, taken back by the fact that she knew his real name.
[That just confirms that she has connections...]
"..."
"System, did you get any information about her?" Roy asked right away.
[... You could try using your own brain for a second, you know?]
"..."
"Well, she was green-ish. That means that she is some other creature than [Human] that is sentient on this planet. Or maybe she just has some condition, maybe with Mana... But my vision still hasn"t come back, System. So could you please fill in the gaps here?"
[Very well. She was a Half Orc - Human. That could mean she was a Monster"s child. Her username was Someone"s True Angel. That was all I could find out.]
"Thanks. So, if she is a monster"s child, that could mean that she"s done something, to make other people accept her into society. That could also explain why she thought I knew her name."
"I"ll have to gather more information."
[You think!?]
"Sorry, sorry."
"By the way, what did she throw at me?" Roy looked at his hands and saw 3 stones.
[I Give Up Stone
The I Give Up Stone can be used in some Dungeons, and Trials, to give up. Meaning that it takes you out of the Dungeon or Trial. Penalties can be given, if you were being tested.]
"Why did she give me this? And three of them to be precise?" he confusingly asked himself.
"Does she think that I should go to a Dungeon?"
[She could have meant that. Maybe she wants to meet us there. You could also go there and level if that"s not the case.]
"But before I got you, I wanted to go "exploring" South."
[Yea, and now you got me and know that Dungeons are a better idea to level (up)! So just go there! But before that, get me some information. Being limited to all you know, and you haven"t even asked around much, is just a little too limiting. *hmph*]
"Fine fine. I"ll do that."
...
A day later, Roy left the hospital.
He checked around to get some information and found a Dungeon nearby. It was Dener Town"s own little Dungeon, called Skeleton Army. It was themed by the location. [Skeleton] were all around Dener Town, so the Dungeon was like that too.
The Skeleton Army Dungeon was North-West of Dener Town, about 11,5 km away. The average adult (normal) human walking speed is 5,5 km/h, so it would take them around 2 hours to get there. That was without taking the "troubles" into account, like Monster attacks, the terrain, accident"s, etc. But because it was the only Dungeon near Dener Town, it had a path leading to it and some Guards station every now and then.
But, with equipment on, Roy"s AGI came to 153, meaning that he was 153 times as fast as a normal human. Counting the fact that Roy"s new INT was much higher than that, he could easily travel that much faster, and still perceive everything around him.
"By the way, what are those insane Attribute multipliers?"
[You mean AST from here(?):
ATT = (B +LVL +EQU +WPN +SKL +GIF +TTL +ATP +OTH) * MUL *ATS
STR 57 = (1 +11 +0 +7 +0 +0 +1) *1,5 *2
VIT 522 = (1 +11 +75) *1,5 *4
DEF 429 = (1 +11 +125 +6) *1,5 *2
AGI 153 = (1 +11 +35 +4) *1,5 *2
INT 768 = (2 +11 +0 +0 +0 +3) *1,5 *32
WIS 768 = (2 +11 +0 +0 +0 +3) *1,5 *32]
"Yeah, most are *2, VIT is *4, and INT, and WIS are both *32! That"s the insane part! Combined with the pa.s.sive multiplier I have (*1,5), it comes to *48! It boosts the initial 16 all the way up to 768!"
[Well... It"s how strong the Attribute is. To be precise, Attribute Strength. You had this before the latest "update", but your System was too weak too support that much strength. ATS is raised by, well... It"s complicated, ok? It would take quite some time to explain everything. You can just be glad that you have this. Before, the difference in INT, and WIS would be like you being about 5 Levels higher than other. So it wouldn"t be really helpful. But now, it makes you like you are 48 times the Level you really are!]
"I mean, I"m not complaining. But it would still be nice to know where I got that from... Well, it wouldn"t really be all that useful, I would just have some information that I couldn"t use. Thanks for the explanation anyway."
[...]
...
"So, this is Skeleton Army?"
[Yep.]
"Let"s go inside then." Roy thought as he entered the Dungeon. There were a few people around, so he didn"t linger any longer than he needed to.
The Skeleton Army Dungeon was a Normal - Individual type Dungeon. That meant that it could have an infinite number of people inside it, but you would always be alone in there. That was the part that confused Roy a little, how were they supposed to meet up here, if you could only be alone inside? Of course, she could have meant that they meet up somewhere near the entrance, but he checked around and didn"t find any traces of her. So, he abandoned the thought of her wanting to meet him here.
Roy looked at the gate for awhile and then pushed it open. From the outside, people would just see someone disappear. But the people entering the Dungeon were just transferred to the other side of the gate. Of course, because it was an Individual Type Dungeon, the person would be alone. If you were in a Party, Group, or Team, then you would have to leave it before entering. But if it was a Team Dungeon, then the Team Leader would have to choose to enter the Dungeon before entering. Other members didn"t have that option and were then transferred, along with the Team Leader, into the Dungeon.
***
When Roy entered, he was transferred inside a 31 by 31 meters room. The torches around the room were lit, so he didn"t have any problem seeing.
Besides the torches, and walls, he saw a bunch of [Skeleton - LVL 10]. They all had 500 LP and carried Common Swords
[Common Sword - LVL 10
Requirements: STR +8
Adds: STR +7 (4 + 3), AGI +4 (2 + 2), DEF +6 (3 + 3), Slash (active), Cut (active)
Slash (active):
Slash at an opponent and deal +75% (50 + 25) Damage.
Cooldown - 29 Seconds (30 - 1)
Cut (active):
Cut at an opponent and deal + 75% (50 + 25) Damage.
Cooldown - 29 Seconds (30 - 1)]
Roy confidently smiled and charged towards the nearest [Skeleton]. As soon as it noticed him, it started rattling its bones, seemingly calling the others.
They all ran towards Roy, attacking him with almost every chance they got. Of course, they may be a problem for other (regular) people at Level 10, but Roy had Uncommon Set Equipment, so he was leaps and bounds above them in terms of Stats.
Roy"s STR was 57, meaning he was 57 times as strong as a normal person. The [Skeleton], on the other hand, only had around 11 DEF. If someone had STR 1 and the other person had DEF 1, then when the first person would attack the other, they wouldn"t deal any Damage. But, they would still push back the other person and make them feel some pain. There is a chance that they would trigger a Critical Hit, or deal a Fatal Hit from hitting a weak spot, so they always had a chance to deal some Damage, even if they had the same Attributes. But Roy"s STR was more than 5 times stronger than the [Skeleton]"s DEF! Couple that with Roy"s insane AGI, and you would get an absolute [Skeleton] killing machine!
There were quite a lot of [Skeleton] in this room, but they still couldn"t close the gap with those numbers.
Because it would still take a few minutes to take care of them, Roy used his Skills. He used Slash (active) to slash at the [Skeleton]"s necks, Cut (active) to knock away their swords, and Double Slash (active) to deal Damage to a whole area around himself. All of these Skills had very short Cooldowns, so he didn"t need to worry about not being able to use them later.
...
After he beat all of them, Roy got some CC (Copper Coins) and some Trash grade equipment.
The same as when he was killing them around Dener Town, around half of the hits were Critical. Roy thought to himself "Hey, I ques GW is my lucky place. I was never this lucky at home." This proved that his Luck Stat was stronger as well as his normal Stats. When he came to this thought, he got very excited. If all of his Hidden Stats were also 2 times as strong as they would normally be, then would gain double the Stats! That would make him much stronger than other people with the same equipment, Level, and perks.
But that also meant that some other people had stronger Stats as well... If he could further raise his Attribute Strength, then he could definitely become much stronger than others.
...
After Roy beat all the [Skeleton] in the room, the next one opened up. Going forward, he saw another room, that was almost identical to the previous one. There were only 2 differences. The first being that there a dozen more [Skeleton] filling the room. And the second that there were now 3 new doors / paths leading out of this room.
From the map he got earlier, he could see that the Dungeon entrance was connected to the first room, which was the previous one, which was then further connected to the second room. The second room had 3 new paths leading out of it. The one to the left lead to 4 new rooms, and a Safe Zone. The last room, right before the Safe Zone, was a Mini Boss Room, where you could get extra Loot, EXP, equipment etc.
Going back to the second room of the Dungeon, the path leading forward lead to another Mini Boss Room, without a path leading further.
However, the path leading right of the second room, lead to 4 new normal rooms, a Safe Zone, and at the end, a 95 by 95 meter Boss Room.
This was actually just the Floor Boss of the first floor. There were 3 Floors to this Dungeon. The first, and second both have normal Rooms, Mini Boss Rooms, and a Floor Boss Room. The third and last Floor, had the Dungeon Boss, or the last and strongest Boss so to say.
...
In a few minutes, Roy cleared the second Room, and contemplated where to go next. He could either go left (3 normal Rooms, 1 Mini Boss Room, 1 Safe Zone), forward (1 Mini Boss Room), or right (4 normal Rooms, 1 Safe Zone, 1 Floor Boss Room). He just Leveled Up, so he was now a tad bit stronger than before. He thought "*phew* I hope it"ll always be this easy to level. If I can go through Levels like this, then I"ll be super strong in no time!" which was just wishful thinking. I still don"t know if he actually thought it was that easy.
With the 1,5 times Pa.s.sive Multiplier, he got that much more Loot, EXP, CC, etc. That meant that he would get more EXP, CC, Loot (which he could further sell for more CC), equipment...
"Okay, I ques I"ll go..."
