5 5 Solo Dungen hunter
My mana was a little low after firing 3 full power spells. But more importantly, my Hp was low, so I went to a pillar and sat down to rest. The title interested me the most as titles where give by deity's, so each of them was different with different conditions.
<Title: Solo Dungen Hunter>
[You have proven that your strength and tactics in a Dungen by killing its boss alone. Going solo has its dangers, but sometimes the reward is worth the risk.]
<Title effect>
<Passive-Lone Wolf>
+25% to all base stats when fighting alone.
<Active-Last Man Standing>
Every 24 hours if you are the only conscious member of your party, survive lethal damage.
It was my only title, so I equip it immediately knowing the active would probably save my life if I fought another boss alone. My magic level-ups read as follows,
<Basic Fire Magic 1-->2>
+25% effectiveness
Max Mana Spent 100-->150
Explosive augment unlocked (+25% mana cost to apply)
Increased shaping ability of spells
<Basic Earth Magic 1-->2>
+25% effectiveness
Max Mana Spent 100-->150
Iron augment unlocked (+25% mana cost to apply)
Increased shaping ability of spells
It was quite an increase, a full 25 percent upgrade, more control, and now the elements are more defined from each other, making my skillset more diverse. The crafting materials where nothing special, and a green drop was guaranteed from bosses. I checked out the necklace
<Necklace of Bears Empowerment (lv 5, green)>
+5 strength
(due to skill Mana Vison, you may now see and use items actives.)
<Active-Bear Swipe>
Create 5 small claws out a hand or foot, gain 5 extra strength.
(Can be cast on all 4 of limbs at once)
Duration-5 seconds
Mana cost-30
Cooldown-5 seconds
'Skills on items, that's a new one' I thought. I straight up told me it was due to my vision, but I still couldn't understand how nobody could even see the power they held. I put the neckless on and could feel my strength increase. I decided to try it once my health was back at full, my title-state increase meant I got 1 point back every second, the flat number was very satisfying to see.
After I got up, I used Bear Swipe on both my hands and my feet. All my strength together totaled to 35, only 3 points less than if I had put all 28 points into strength. 'Why is mana stat so overpowered!' I screamed in my head thinking of all the possibilities. Items where suppose to be stat buffs, and in sets MAYBE an active or passive. I walked out of the ruins to use my new skill a little bit.
On my way out a party with Bruse, Janne, Jack, and Seffen were just walking in.
"You're going to have to wait for it to reset first" I warned
"Did you guys kill it already, went right for it" Jack responded
they would be kind of freaked out if I killed a boss only 3 levels below me.
"Ya," I said awkwardly
They turned away to fight more normal enemies, knowing it was another 24 hours till it reset. Time moved on a 1:24 ratio in dungeons, so a Dungen reset about every hour in the real world. We had only been on the Dungen for about 2 hours Dungen time, but my backpack was already full due to the size of the bear claws.
Most people's first quest was to collect some materials from a Dungeon like this one and bring it back to the shrine. Mine was just to level up so I really had no idea what to do with the materials except maybe sell them, but I didn't need to buy anything and we were supposed to stay in Terrnem for another year before going to high-level areas or a large city.
I decided to grind out monsters until my backpack was full. I used my iron augment on a 150 mp spear, as I could now make tips and corners, I used the spear so in a couple of hits I could deal about 12 damage per second by using Bear swipe allowing me to take advantage of the claw's raw strength, and use the spears range with the other hand.
It only took about 2 hours until my bag was full of squirrel pelts, the exp was minimal so I decided to just go home for the day, and then going to a higher level Dungen tomorrow, probably the level 10 Ice Catacombs as fire would be extra strong there.
I went to our town market to sell my spoils. the pelts went for 1/2 bronze and the bear pelt was rank one and could be used to make weapons and armor up to level 10, but only commons. They sold for 5 copper each. The rank 2 bear claws would be very hard to sell here as nobody in our village could work with rank 2 materials, except Richard but he was a chief so they would be useless to him. I decided to keep them for when I moved out next year. I would probably need a larger bag as my high-rank materials would stack up.
When I got home I talked with my mom about everything that happened. she was the strongest in our village and even she couldn't solo a boss at level 8, so she was quite surprised. After I talked with mom for about half an hour, I realized it was still only about 2 pm and I could still go visit Dungen for a couple of days before it got dark. I decided to just take a nap instead as even though my stamina was full, I still my body was still a justing to the massive amount of strength I could have.
I woke up the next morning noticing my body had gotten significantly smaller, I was 6.1 the evening before and had shrunk a full 2 inches down 5.9. I was quite proud of my height, and now I had gotten smaller. I was quite perplexed by this, but assume it was because my intelligence and wisdom were so much higher than my physical ability.
