Chapter 72 First Fight
I got transported into a grassland. Many huge grasses covered up to my knees. I stood up and walked.
Just after some time, I encountered my very first monster. It was the F-rank wolf. I slowly walked without making any noise. I slowly approached the wolf and cast a fireball. A small ball of fire fill my palm and I threw that at the wolf.
*Howl*
The wolf cried in pain. It didn't die, so I again cast wind slash, and the wind slice the wolf head. The wolf didn't get to cry this time and die. Other wolves who heard the cry came running at the wolf. They still hadn't seen me, so I hid in the grass and cast pillars of swords. Three swords created by man floated in the mid-air. I threw those swords at the three wolves.
Thrust! The sword thrust into the wolf's body. They all cried and fall to the ground. Two wolves remained. They saw me and charged at me. I cast quick speed and quickly got away from them. Then I immediately cast fireball, wind slash, and pillar of swords and immediately kill the two wolves.
"Ha! Ha!" I catch my breath and walked towards the dead body of those wolves. I saw 2 cores dropped from their body and their body disappearing in the surrounding.
Cores are valuable objects for adventures. There are mainly 3 cores, Strength, Vitality, and Magic. As the name suggests, they increase one stat. If I absorb the strength core, my strength will increase. But cores are not normally found. In 5 monsters, only 1 monster drop cores.
I collect the cores and put them in my storage bag. I order my auto storage bag for mana potions and it gave it to me. A long robotic hand took the mana potions from the bag and took them out and hand it over to me and return to its place.
I drank the mana potion and recovered my mana. I rushed down the path of grassland and quickly encounter another 5 wolves. I quickly cast the skill and killed them. 2 cores dropped this time.
I again ran and encounter another set of wolves. I killed them with my skills. 3 cores dropped again but this time a glistering book also dropped from the body. It was the skill book.
I quickly pick the skill book and let my hollow watch scan it.
[Scan Complete... This is [Minor Heal] skill book.]
[Minnor heal is an F-rank skill that heals small wounds and injuries.]
The watch gave me the information and I quickly absorb the skill book and learned the skill. I again rushed down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I kill every wolf that came at me. I completed 1st.. 2nd.. 3rd... 4th.. floor continuously without resting, And just within 20 minutes of entering the dungeon, I reached the boss room. Normally, a party of players takes 1 to 2 hours to complete 1 floor. They have to rest and recover their mana and energy.
[Congralutation... You have level up. Level-up 5]
I quickly leveled up to 5 in just a couple of minutes. I ignored the notification and open the boss room's door. I drank 2 mana potions and fill my mana.
There I saw a big wolf, a wolf completely different from those wolves that I killed. It was 3 times bigger than those. There were white marks on its face. Its claw was much sharper and its fangs were bigger.
A cold shiver ran down my spines. But I quickly calm myself and faced the boss. The boss looked at me and walked towards me.
I immediately cast my skills.
"Fireball...Wind Slash... Pillar of swords... Quick Speed... Charge..."
I quickly increased my speed and made the distance between me and the boss monster. The attack skills injured the boss monster but the injuries weren't that deep. It quickly recovered itself and charged at me.
I ran from the boss monster while casting spells.
Howl!
After 5 minutes, the boss monster cried and fall. It died. I quickly walked towards its dead body. 2 magic cores and 1 skill book dropped from its body.
I quickly put cores in my bag and scan the skill.
[Scan Complete... This is [Tornado] skill.]
[Tornado is a C-rank skill that creates a huge tornado and continuously gives damage to the monster. Last for 2 minutes.]
I learned the skill. Even though I learned the skill, I can't use it. To use a C-rank skill, a player needs to be at 10 levels and I am just at 5. So, I just learned and left it and quickly went to the last room. It was the teleportation room.
The moment I step inside, a light covered my eyes and I quickly got transported outside of the dungeon.
[Congralution... You have beat the F-rank dungeon.]
[You have successfully leveled up to 6. The system has been activated. Changing the interface. Adding extra function.]
"Huh?" I became confused by the sudden notification. The player system only notifies about leveling up but my system gave me some unexpected notifications.
Then my stats window appeared with some changes.

I was dumbfounded by the sudden change.
I was staring at my notification screen until it disappeared. I didn't know what to do.
"I should just finish the quest." I decided that and again went back to the teleportation circle. I again got teleported to the grassland and I killed the wolves that came at me.
And after 20 minutes, I reached the boss's room. Unlike last time, I was fully prepared. I entered the room and quickly activated my skills.
"Quick speed... Charge... Rage...Magic Barrier...Guard."
My whole body got covered with different layers. It was like a rainbow covered my body. My defense with the defensive suit become too much that I didn't even fear about the boss.
The boss charged at me the moment it saw me, but i didn't move. I stayed at the same place and raised my arm.
"Wind Slash...Fireball...Pillar of swords."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I continuously used my skill. The boss didn't even get to reach my barrier.
Howl! Its death cry echoed at the empty room. I quickly went near its body and found 2 cores, 1 vitality, and another strength. There was no skill book this time. I was a little disappointed.
I quickly took 2 mana potions from my bag and drank them. My body filled with energy and I again walked towards the teleportation circle and got transported outside.
The moment I got outside, I heard many voices.
"Hey hey, look at the screen." One young guy said to the girl next to him.
"What what?" She looked in the direction where the guy was pointing.
"The Lino's record got broken." Another guy exclaimed.
"What?" Everyone around the area got surprised and they also looked at the screen.
Following their gazes, I also looked at the screen. I saw many names written with a specific time right next to their names.
'Unknown' name was first with the time 22:12 minutes and 'Lino' name was second with the time 25:12.
This was the dungeon clear time. I was at the first, my name didn't get displayed because I used the temporary card which hasn't got registered with my name.
While many people were talking with each other, I again went inside the dungeon and clear it. And after 3 hours, I successfully beat the dungeon 10 times. I have to use extra 5 mana potions and I gained 30+ monster cores and 2 skills.
<Congraultation... You have leveled up to 10.>
<Congrulation... You have completed the quest.>
<Reward received: 1 quest box.>
<Congraulation... You have received 'Weak Dungeon Beater' Achievement.>
<Congrulation... You have reached the required level to unlock the 'Dungeon' function. You have also unlocked the 'Auto G-coins' function.>
I again became confused. But this time, I didn't care much.
