2 CHAPTER 2: Dungeon

Merry Christmas. EVERYONE

=================================

Aiden earned money by working day jobs for 7 days and started living in an inn.

For 7 days Aiden did daily quests and with the 3 stat points he earned on the first day, he now had a total of 24 unused stat points. Aiden also learned that even if he didn't spend his stat points, his stats would increase, just very slowly.

Now his status is...

[Name: Aiden Kurogane]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 16]

[Class: None] [Title: None]

[Level: 1]

[Hp: 110] [Mp: 100] [Fatigue: 0]

[STR: 12]

[VIT: 11]

[AGI: 13]

[INT: 10]

[Sense: 10]

(Unused Stat Points: 24)

"Before going to dungeon let's increase stats. 9 points to STR, 5 points to VIT, 7 points to AGI, 1 point to Sense and 2 points to INT."

[Name: Aiden Kurogane]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 16]

[Class: None] [Title: None]

[Level: 1]

[Hp: 160] [Mp: 120] [Fatigue: 0]

[STR: 21]

[VIT: 16]

[AGI: 20]

[INT: 12]

[Sense: 11]

(Unused Stat Points: 00)

"Although strength is important, for me agility is important too." Aiden said as he feels the rising power.

Afterwards, Aiden received the free leather armor and sword given to new registrants from the guild. It was actually a choice between a sword and a dagger, and Aiden chose the sword, even though he felt that he would be better with his fists, he thought that a weapon that would increase the distance between him and the enemy in his first experience would be better and chose the sword. After all, there was a considerable height difference between him and the goblins and this was true for his whole body, i.e. his arms etc. Since he was longer than the goblins, adding the sword on top of it would make it easier for him to level up at least for the first few levels, and then he would use the dungeon key he earned from the system. Actually, the first dungeon boss in Solo leveling should have been the king of the swamp, Blue Venom-Fanged Kasaka, but Aiden had a feeling that this dungeon would be different.

Aiden put on his equipment and entered through the dungeon entrance.

[You've entered the Babel Dungeon]

'Wow, I didn't expect to see a message like this in Orario dungeon.' Aiden thought.

"Anyway, it's not time to think, it's time to have fun."

In the dungeon, Aiden first followed the other adventurers to the 1st floor and since it was a bit crowded, he looked for a place with fewer people and soon found it. 

Aiden turned a corner and there were three goblins right in front of him.

"Finally!" Aiden suddenly leapt forward and thanks to his increased stats, the front one of the 3 goblins was decapitated directly and its body turned to dust and disappeared, leaving a magic crystal on the ground.

"Wow that was pretty easy an-" Aiden couldn't finish his sentence because...

[You've Leveled Up]

Aiden heard the system message and when he looked at his status, he was now level 2 and 1 point had been added to each statistic.

"Good now who is next?" A grin appeared on Aiden's face as he looked at the other two goblins. Suddenly he rushed forward, and since his stats had increased, he was faster and easily killed the other two goblins.

"I don't want to carry these things in my pocket, so..." Aiden said and immediately opened his inventory and put the magic crystals in it. Also.

[You've Leveled Up]

'Level 3. Good.' With a smile on his face, Aiden continued slaughtering goblins until he reached level 10. 

"All right, I think I can get into this dungeon now." Aiden said while looking at a key on his hand.

[Name: Instant Dungeon Key]

[Rarity: E]

[Type: Key]

[A Key that allows you to create an Instant Dungeon. You may use it in Orario Dungeon]

Before using the key, Aiden decided to check his stats one last time.

[Name: Aiden Kurogane]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 16]

[Class: None] [Title: None]

[Level: 10]

[Hp: 260] [Mp: 220] [Fatigue: 19]

[STR: 31]

[VIT: 26]

[AGI: 30]

[INT: 22]

[Sense: 21]

(Unused Stat Points: 00)

"Alright that's enough I also has two skills let's start this dungeon." Aiden said and turned the key in his hand as if he was opening a door and then went inside.

[You can not exit the dungeon. Please defeat the boss first or find the Hearthstone.]

Aiden saw the message and started moving deeper into the dungeon.

When Aiden came to a relatively large area in the dungeon, something told him that something was going to happen here...

*Fwoossshhh

Aiden moved to the side just in time when he suddenly felt something attacking him rapidly. He immediately looked at his attacker and his guess was right, this was not Kasaka's dungeon because instead of the steel-toothed Raikan, he was now facing a monkey, but the monkey had razor claws.

"Well, monkey, I want to inform you that I've hated monkeys since I was a little kid, so..." Aiden rushed forward. His agility was already high, and in an instant he decapitated the monkey.

[You've killed a Razor Clawed Monkey.]

[You've Leveled Up]

"It makes more sense to level up first and come here, right now these monsters mean easy exp for me." Aiden said and continued to hunt. 

While Aiden was hunting, he was checking all around, hoping to find a hidden treasure or an item, but in vain, because there was nothing. As time went on, more and more different monsters started to appear. After the Razor Clawed Monkey, there was the Flame Lion, the Poisonous Blue Scorpion, etc.

"It's very interesting the things that fall by killing these monsters." Aiden said as he picked up the drops.

[You found the drop items. Take it?]

"Alright."

[Item: Razor Clawed Monkey's Fur]

[Rarity: None]

[Type: Miscellaneous]

[Description: Razor Clawed Monkey's fur. It's soft, but neither warm nor comfortable. Can be stored in the Inventory or can be sold at the Store.]

[Item: Flame Lion's Fang]

[Rarity: E]

[Type: Miscellaneous]

[Description: The Flame Lion's hot fang. The tooth heats up from within. It contains a small part of the flame nature of the flame lion. Can be stored in the Inventory or can be sold at the Store.]

[Item: Poisonous Blue Scorpion's Stinger]

[Rarity: E]

[Type: Miscellaneous]

[Description: The stinger of the venomous blue Scorpion is a stinger with a small amount of venom from the Scorpion inside. Can be stored in the Inventory or can be sold at the Store.]

"I don't know why, but the last two could be really useful, so let's just sell the monkey's fur for now."

Aiden opened the system and sold all the monkey fur he had collected. The system paid 20 gold per fur. Also, after all those kills, Aiden had leveled up a good amount. Finally, Aiden was sure that he had hunted the entire dungeon except the boss room because the notification...

[Congratulations on an achievement.]

[You have earned a title thanks to your achievement.]

[Nothing left alive!]

[Title: Nothing left alive!]

[Effect: When you embark on the path of eradicating an entire monster race, your stats surge with an unprecedented ferocity, gaining a formidable +40% increase in battles against those creatures. For each target, the number of kills will be displayed and extra rewards will be earned for reaching the target.]

"Wow that's cool." Aiden got excited thinking about what he could do with this title and then checked his level... and started to enter the boss room.

[Level: 21]

*Thud!

As soon as Aiden entered the room he felt something strange coming from the other corner of the room and also Aiden saw the boss monster. The boss was a Chimera. Just like he had seen in the books, the creature had the head of a lion, the head of a goat, the body of a lion and the tail of a snake.

'The boss dies and the dungeon disappears and I don't know how to fight this thing and it can be challenging so I have to go to that thing that attracts me first.' Aiden thought and decided to go around the Chimera, leaning his back against the wall. Aiden even checked every now and then just in case the chimera woke up. Then Aiden slowly and quietly took a long time to reach the place where the feeling came from, but there was only a wall and a big crack on it.

*Crack!

Suddenly there was a cracking sound coming from the wall and when Aiden looked through the crack there was a big yellow eye looking at him and Aiden suddenly jumped and he was protected from the explosion of the wall and what came out of it but what came out...

"Are you fuckin kidding me! A Manticore!"

[Congratulations on uncovering the hidden boss.]

[The danger level of the Dungeon has increased.]

"Fuck!"
