[D-Rank hidden dungeon, ‘Cave of Sleeping Dragon,’ discovered!]

Yujun smiled.

Fortunately, the hidden dungeon stayed the same.

In addition, he even gave the dark elves some trouble.

‘They must be pissed off because they missed me right in front of their eyes.’

Stellen even used the priceless Target Item Scroll.

If you lose sight of your target in that situation, your indignation will be beyond description.

Yujun looked at the Dungeon Monopoly item lovingly.

[Dungeon Monopoly]

Grade: Hero

Option: Gain exclusive rights to a dungeon you found first. Lasts for a week.

It was an item that he didn’t use often, but was very useful.

‘By the way, I’m back here.’

It’s still fresh in his memory.

Here, the dungeon clear reward was enormous.

‘If I’m given the same reward as then…’

Once that happens, he won’t need to rely on his inventory and will be able to handle the dark elves outside the hidden dungeon without difficulty.

‘I’ve only cleared one hidden dungeon so far. Maybe the reward is the same as the game…’

Yujun looked around.

It’s dark, but it’s not like he can’t see at all.

The temperature is cool enough to make it a pleasant environment.

A cave in which a dragon has fallen asleep.

This dungeon has a level D difficulty.

D-Rank was also quite difficult for a hidden dungeon, but the difficulty was quite low for the Non Paying Gamer.

The reason is that it’s literally a dragon.

A dragon that is too old and weak to move properly.

Anyway, he didn’t think it was easy to clear this dungeon back then, but the rewards were much better than its difficulty.

May, who came in first, widened her eyes.

“H-Hidden dungeon? Yujun, is this a hidden dungeon?”

“I guess so.”

“You didn’t know?”

“No. I just threw my hands when I saw something.”

Yujun calmly told a lie.

May glistened her eyes, not questioning his words.

“Ah, but we’re really lucky! A hidden dungeon of all things!”

“I suppose.”

“…But on second thought, isn’t it more dangerous that it’s only two of us in this hidden dungeon? The dungeon’s name is that a dragon is asleep…”

May made a fuss.

Looking at her, Yujun burst out laughing.

It felt like they’ve gotten quite close even though they haven’t known each for a long time.

“Well, it’ll be fine.”

“Aren’t you too easygoing? The dark elves outside…”

“I’m sure it will work out somehow. Like May said, we’re lucky.”

” …I’m scared of them.”

Yujun had already cleared this hidden dungeon before.

Even then, his character was weaker than it is now.

Only his level was high, but the quality of his item was very different from what it is now.

So he didn’t worry too much.

This dungeon has three paths from the start.

Yujun walked towards the left path without hesitation.

“Wait, hold on. Aren’t you walking too casually?”

“You know, it won’t work out if we stay still. I’ll try something.”

“But still, be more careful…”

Yujun glared fiercely at May, who was nagging.

“W-why are you looking at me like that?”

“Be quiet. If you make so much noise, even monsters will flock.”

“Oh! You’re right. I’m sorry.”

Yujun didn’t head towards the left road without thinking.

‘I’m going to catch monsters and level up first.’

Defeat the dragon as late as possible.

Even if it’s old and is on the brink of death, it’s still a dragon.

It was not as easy to hunt.

The path on the left is full of ordinary monsters.

So he chose this path.

May doesn’t know, but now there’s going to be a lot of monsters.

Yujun took out some potions.

It was not to heal himself, but to prepare for May’s injuries.

If more than a dozen monsters rush in, he will not be able to take care of May.

‘Well, she’s an elf, so she can handle herself.’

There was no need to overprotect May, even if he had to maintain a friendly relationship with the elves.

It was his own safety that mattered more than anything else.

Kekung. Kekung.

It wasn’t long before the ground vibrated.

But it wasn’t a change in the terrain, it was the result of monsters moving.

“Something’s coming!”

Yujun, who ran forward before May shouted, stretched his sword forward.

Psh!

A horrible looking monster died, having its head pierced by the sword.

Rushing after Yujun were a swarm of monsters called ‘Fractal.’

Yujun hurriedly backstepped and swung his sword.

Swish!

Even though his attack was less powerful, the weapon is so powerful that the bodies of the strange water monsters were cut like tofu.

[Level has risen!]

By the time he killed six of them in an instant, his level went up by one.

The speed was extremely quick.

It was possible because the level of the monsters are much higher than that of Yujun.

The ordinary monsters that appeared in the cave where the ancient dragon is asleep are no match for Yujun.

Swish! Swish!

Yujun and May, or Yujun to be exact, quickly broke through by slaughtering the monsters.

‘It’s this too easy?’

Yujun admired himself.

Needlessly to say, May, who looked on from behind, gasped in surprise each time.

‘This makes no sense.’

She couldn’t look away at the sight of the man in front of her

It’s not that the monsters’ attacks didn’t reach his body.

But even if the sharp claws touched his armor, they broke or bounced off and did no damage.

On the other hand, there was no monster that could stand against Yujun’s sword.

That’s why there was no fight in the first place.

Because it was not a fight but a one-sided massacre.

‘What the hell are you wearing…’

Not only are his items good, but his physical abilities are also very high.

In the blink of an eye, he gained another level.

After the battle, May spoke.

“Yujun…who are you?”

“What?”

“Why are you so strong?”

“What? What kind of question is that?”

“The level shown in the party window is 113 … It’s weird.”

“Level doesn’t mean everything.”

“I know that.”

Seeing such a reaction each time, Yujun just smiled awkwardly.

“By the way, I’m sorry I haven’t been of any help…”

“It’s okay. It’s better for me to fight alone to improve my senses.”

“…”

Less than a minute later, Yujun went hunting again without rest.

The left path is quite long, so it was almost half a day after hunting and breaking through the monsters before they reached the end.

“Let’s take a break here.”

“Why? You don’t look tired at all.”

“I’m a little tired. We have to go back the way we came from.”

Although he said he wanted to rest, Yujun quickly shook off his hips and got up.

There’s a long way to go.

Back near the entrance to the dungeon again, Yujun stood in front of the middle path.

The middle path was a trap.

There are no monsters here but only traps.

In short, it’s a place where he shouldn’t go, but the reason why Yujun wants to go here is simple.

Because there is an item here.

May followed him to the middle path, but Yujun held her back by raising his palm.

“Wait here.”

“What? Why?”

“There are a lot of traps ahead.”

“How do you know that?”

“It’s a feeling. There will be a high probability of a trap. I’ll just go by myself because it’s dangerous for the two of us to go.”

“Okay.”

Yujun strode forward.

At that time,

Swish!

Without stepping on something or pressing any mechanism, thorn vines flooded from the ceiling toward Yujun.

He swung his sword several times as if he had been waiting and cut the vines into pieces.

‘Wow, I remember this.’

Maybe it’s because as a player, his body has reached the level of superhuman and his spirit has improved greatly.

Memories that he thought he had forgotten came to mind as if it had happened yesterday.

It made it easier to utilize the information he knew.

‘There were only a few players who played War of Gods in the first place…’

There must be some top players right now he would recognize.

He was already looking forward to meeting them.

‘Before I do that, I need to be strong.’

Five large logs hanging from a rope flew from all directions toward Yujun.

Quickly moving forward, he avoided three and cut down two logs with his sword.

It was reassuring that his body could keep up with his mind due to his excellent physique.

As if all the traps have been memorized, he moved ahead.

In the end, he quickly broke through the trap path.

Yujun, who reached the end of the path, looked around.

“It must be nearby…”

The trap part has ended.

When he played War of Gods, he recalled an item he had stumbled upon near here.

‘Thanks to it, his top-up efficiency increased a lot.’

Yujun slightly tapped a wall covered in moss.

Swa-shwah.

A handful of the rusty wall fell off.

There was a golden object between the clump of stones that had fallen into pieces.

To be exact, it was a ring.

A dark yellowish, yet still luminous ring.

“I haven’t seen this in a long time.”

Yujun broke into a smile.

He checked the item information right away.

[Lucky Ring (Legendary)]

Grade: Legendary

Option: When eaten, luck is increased.

The option description is short.

Roughly, if you eat it, luck will increase.

No, it’s weird to ask you to eat the ring, but…

In any case, his luck will increase.

‘If this was an option for wearing it, I would’ve worn it before.’

It’s a shame it’s not an equipment.

However, there is no level restriction because it is a consumable item.

There is also an advantage.

‘The effect is permanent.’

Yujun wiped the ring clean and swallowed it in one bite.

Of course there was no taste.

An invigorating sensation like swallowing metal.

But Yujun soon smiled at the message that appeared after.

[Your luck has increased significantly!]

He doesn’t know how long he’s been waiting for this message.

Good luck was simply a matter of luck and was set.

It was as good as receiving a huge correction in all his actions.

‘Because the effect only works in my favor.’

Even when he uses other items that have a probability, the luck effect is applied well.

So,

‘Is it time to use this?

Yujun took something that looked like a pill out of his inventory.

[Matured Elixir]

Grade: None

Option: Gain one additional trait upon ingestion. The trait obtained is randomly determined.

The hidden piece found in the Hell difficulty tutorial.

Finally, it is time to acquire a trait by using the Matured Elixir.
