9 Chapter 9 – First Dungeon.
"Hey, what is this?" – said Hype.
"A new blade I made."
"But this is one handed weapon, not a great sword. Why does it have high attack?"
"I tried using wolf parts for my experiments and found out they are indeed very useful when crafting and changed to blade shape a bit a well. Pretty nice results, right?"
"You made so that the hilt guard can be used as the weapon, so you can use it as knuckles and punch things with it. I made two of those swords in total."
"I see… By the way, what is the deal with your equipment?"
[Wild Wolf Copper Helmet]
[A piece of gear that was made using copper then covered with wild wolf hide. Modified to find rhino beetle warrior head.]
[+8.5 [Physical Defense].]

"I won't lie, are you trying to make your self look like a monster? You look something like werewolf x bear with your sticking out horn on top of that you have wings. I won't be surprised one bit if somebody attacks you or something, thinking that you are new monsters."
"Hey! It's useful! It has nice stats and all. Besides, combination like gave me at least good amount of [Physical Defense]! Also it was very useful for my experiments."
"I was kind of planning to making a new hammer or something for myself as well, but I run out of copper. I could buy more, but I would run out of money again. I smelted the failure with many blade and spikes to cover up with copper for my armor."
"Huh, by the way. Are you going to finally sell stuff?" – asked Kitty.
"I think so. I already got enough information to make proper stuff, but there is a problem. How much would this stuff sells for anyway?"
[The in game main currency is called gold.]
[The evil bunny meat for example is sold for 3 while its hide it sold for 4 gold. The cost of the basic HP potion cost 25, while the weapon for the beginner weapon cost 40. The reinforced beginner weapons costs 80.]
[The single copper ore for example cost 15 gold.]
"Hm… If it was me, I would sell it for 270 gold, that [Copper Wolf Sword] and the normal [Copper Sword] for 150 gold. I think that would be a fair price for those. But we have a problem." – said Kitty.
"There are barely any players in the village we are currently staying in. I think this is because of this place. The forest spider poison is extremely annoying, we almost died ourselves because of that dammed poison." – said Hype.
"Right now there are two ways to sell your stuff right now."
"First is to travel to the different places and sell stuff. The second option is to make yourself known and make people come to you instead. It's better to go with option two if you look at it, but first people would have to know about you and stuff, so it will probably take time before you became known or something." – explained Kitty.
"Aren't there stuff like auctions houses or like instant transport things in this game or something?"
"The developers stated that they are planning on adding something like that, but apparently they are still few issues with it, so apparently it will take bit longer that expected for it to be implemented. Apparently, it was supposed to be add together with official release, but it proven bit more problematic. Well, we are speaking about high tech things that pretty much we won't understand one bit if somebody were to explain to us, so no use complaining. So it wasn't really confirmed when it will be released." – said Kitty.
"Oh, by the way, where are we going anyway? You said that you found something."
"Oh that? We found new not discovered yet dungeon!" – said excited Hype.
"Dungeon? You mean like those games and in fantasies where you progress though it, kill boss monsters and get nice loot, stuff like that?"
"Pretty much yes. The reason why we went back for you is simple. The party that first fully cleared the dungeon will receive a bonus."
"So, you want to clear the dungeon before anybody else, so we can get the benefits to our selves."
"Yea and we also want information's about the dungeon. The first clear bonuses are divided into party and solo. The first party who cleared the dungeon and the first person to ever solo the said dungeon. One of us maybe be able to solo that dungeon, if we have correct build for it. There are also a first conquest bonus when you conquer the specific dungeon that you never finished before for first time and solo conquest where you clear the dungeon without the help of anybody else. If we clear the dungeon right now, we will receive clear reward, first time reward and first party clear reward. So it's pretty worth and who knows, maybe the dungeon can drop something interesting. – said Kitty.
"And here it is." – said Hype.
The trio were standing in front of the giant cave entrance before moment later entering the dungeon itself.
[You have entered: Beast Cave Dungeon.]
After entering the cave, the party beginned heading deeper into unknown area, until-
"Oh? Monsters are already coming, get ready guys." – said Hype.
[Cave Wolf – Level 36] x 3
"Let me handle it." – said Hype while chagrining straight at incoming brown wolfs while caring two swords.
[Sword User] class skill [Sword Slash].
Hype used the skill [Sword Slash] to slash the wolf in middle with one of the, the wolf on his right then tried attacking him, but he swinged his other sword while using skill [Weapon Attack], landing a successfully counter attack.
The third wolf coming from the left leaped at him, but he used the weapon pommel to strike the creature in the face.
[Pommel Strike] – [Sword User] skill.
[Skill type: Active] [Level: 2/5] [Cooldown: 1 Minute] [Cost: 25 SP.]
[Use pommel to strike at enemy, dealing small amount of extra damage and applying short stun for 0.2/(0.4)/0.6/0.8/1 seconds. The stun will only be applied if attack lands on the torso, head or weak spot.]
After landing a strike on the third foe, he quickly backed away and shoot [Magic Shot] at the middle wolf, hitting it.
"By the way, why he changed his weapons from great sword to two handed swords?"
"Oh that? Well it's bit complicated. Originally in the beta, he was planning on making his character full spell caster type class, but he kind of got bored just standing still and just shooting spells, so he picked [Warrior] and went hybrid."
"I won't lie, he was quite good while handling swords and using magic at the same time. But he often ended up getting cocky because of that and died during fights quiet easily. He thought he was the main protagonist or something."
"He knows how to use both great sword and duel wield weapons and when to best to use them. He often changed his playstyle depending on the enemy he is fighting. Great sword have a high attack power and pretty much can be used to one shot enemies with weak defense, like those forest spiders for example. But while dealing with more agility and faster enemies, it's better for him to use one handed weapons, since he can swing them faster."
"Oh…."
[Cave Wolf has been defeated by the party.]
"Those guys don't do much damage, but they instead have increased defense. So, we should just aim for the vital spots to end fight quickly." – said Hype while returning to Forge and Kitty.
(So, they specialized in defense? Interesting, maybe if I made an armor using their hide, then maybe I will get better version of my current armor.)
The party of the 3 continue moving deeper and deeper into a dungeon, slaying any enemies they encounter along the way. Until they arrived at the giant red steel door with skull painting on it.
"This is a boss room, right?"
"Pretty much yea. We don't know this dungeon, so we don't know what is the boss monster pattern, so take care. Watch out for anything that may seems suspicious."
[You have entered the boss room.]
[Defeat the dungeon boss: Cave Bear.]
"Oh shit, it's bear." – said all 3 of them.
The giant brown bear with grey patterns on its body, was standing in the fathers end of the area.
"Go with plan B." – said Kitty.
Hype and Kitty beginned running left and right, along side the room walls, while the Forge himself was charging straight at the bear, with the great sword in hand.
The bear himself beginned charging at the Forge, who was in front of him. When the bear got finally in the Forge range, he swinged his sword at the bear, hitting it in the shoulder.
(Fuck, the blade barely went in, he is tanky type as well like those wolfs.)
"Well, I'm distraction in the first place."
Suddenly, a magic projectile was fired and hitting the bear in the back, followed by multiple spear throws.
The bear turned around and saw Hype and Kitty, preparing to attack again. The bear quickly attacked the Forge, the attack itself, pushed away Forge and made him fall on the ground.
"Bastard hit hard!" – shouted Forge.
The bear beginned rushing straight at the siblings, making Hype take out the great sword and blocking bear attack.
"Kitty! Poison!"
Both Forge and Kitty quickly took out a glass vial, with green liquid inside of it. They then quickly poured the liquid onto their blades before then rushing straight at the bear and attacking it.
[Cave Bear] – [Status: Poisoned]
[Forest Spider Poison Vial]
[A glass vial that is filled with forest spider poison.]
(Coating our weapon in poison makes them apply the poison affect, however this method only allows us to have set number of attacks with poison, it is not very useful in hunting, since you would need to apply poison after few attacks, but against you it's quiet worth it!) – though Forge while trying to force his blade into going deeper.
"It's working, keep hitting that bastard!"
The attacks against the bear continue. Forge and the Hype would change every second, making one of them tank bear attacks, while others were attacking from the range using spears or spells and sometimes occasionally with poison coated weapons from afar.
[Cave Bear] – [HP: 25%]
[Cave Bear had entered berserk mode.]
"Em guys? What is berserk- "– before Forge could finish the sentence, the bear slapped him in the face and sending him flying.
"Ow" – said Forge while laying flat on the ground.
[Forge] – [HP: 31%]
"He hits harder now."
The bear stood on his legs and then roared, before moment later, slamming the ground and creating a shockwave that hit both Kitty and Hype that were near the bear at the moment. The shock wave made both of them fall on the ground and before any of them could get up, the bear was already near Kitty.
The bear was ready to strike her down, but Forge charged at the creature with his wings out and attacking the bear with his horn. This resulted in pushing the bear away and making its balance.
Forge saw the opening and swinged his sword at the bear neck, landing a solid hit. Forged tried pushing the blade further, but bear grabbed the blade and prepared to strike Forge.
(Oh, I think I'm dead.)
But before bear could attack him, spear flew straight at bear, hitting it in the eye and fallowed up with the attack from behind from Hype. This ended up creating an opening for the Forge, to push his blade and decapitate the bear with his sword.
[You have defeated boss monster: Cave Bear.]
