Chapter 50

I look at the entrance to the Dungeon, take a deep breath, and enter it!

Soon, I feel an intense heat, which takes me by surprise!

I look at my surroundings and holy shit, I'm in a desert!

I open my [Map] and already notice red dots in the surroundings, a pity that the [Map] inside the Dungeon is very limited.

For example, outside of it I have access to 10 Km² of area, with me as the center, and about 250 M², I have access to the location of all living things, except for insects, in that area.

But in the Dungeon it's different, I only have 1 Km² of area available, but it's still 250 M² that I know the location of all the living things nearby.

I touch my vest, open my Inventory, everything in order.

Without further ado, I start walking towards one of the Red Spots.

It doesn't take long before I spot a lump in the golden desert sand, I use [Observe] and information comes up!

[Giant Scorpion - Level 33]

I narrow my eyes, lower my weapon, point my finger and my Mana converges, then a [Mana Arrow] forms, it cost me 200 MP, then it lunges forward like a bullet!

BANG!

With a bang, the creature's shrill, thin scream echoes, as it dies!

I have 1.081 Intelligence, my [Mana Arrow] is at Level 25, causing 150% Magic Damage!

To put it simply, I've done a hell of a lot of damage!

And right away, I notice an unusual glow, so I get closer and see something blue, which surprises me, a Rare item dropped from the beginning?

I take what looks like a dagger, from the scorpion's tail!

[Scorpion Dagger(Rare)]

A dagger based on the tip of a scorpion's tail, bathed in its deadly venom!

+20% Attack Speed!

+10% Physical Damage!

Causes 50 Poison Damage per Second, Duration 10 Seconds!

+30% Agility!

+20 Strength!

+20 Wisdom!

I liked it a lot, but I'm not a dagger guy, so I'll leave it in place of my [Military Knife], I'll have to modify the support for this dagger better, but it's fine for now.

Naturally I don't get its Attribute Buff, the Buff provided by weapons is only effective when they are equipped in my hands, not stored, even if they are in contact with the body.

But it is a very good thing, already an excellent start, being that I only killed 1 Creature.

As for the fallen materials, I'm not interested, so I leave it there anyway, as for the money, that automatically falls into my account!

It doesn't even get dropped, the System informed me that all money that falls after deaths, will be deposited in my Inventory, being me or others who killed.

But that is limited by something that is [Faction]!

If I had known this in the past, I would have allowed the money to fall, I would probably have about 50 Million by now, since so many people were exploring the Dungeon daily, getting a lot of loot!

But again, my focus here is not money, at least not my main focus.

I want a territory, so I'll get it, then I'll think about the rest!

...

I explored the surroundings and expanded my [Map], killed many creatures and saw the loot drop constantly, which surprises me.

Before I had like 300 Luck, but even then, the drop in items was not that good!

Is the difference from 300 to 500 that big?

[Yes!]

Look, it wasn't a question for you System, but thank you very much, now could you elaborate?

[1~499 Attribute Points in the case of Luck, is a base, since Luck is something hard to measure or quantify, but the System is capable of it!]

[1~499 Luck is still something deadly, so to speak, it wouldn't be strange to find people with 300~400 natural Luck, since Luck is not tied to Level, since it doesn't mean the strength itself!]

[But from 500 Points and above, Luck undergoes changes, as it means that someone has broken the shackles of Fate and the future becomes uncertain and volatile, thus Techniques and psychic Skills, would be unable to see their future!]

[Not to mention that "Fate" has become more irregular, in simpler terms, normally people accumulate as a unit of energy, their "Fortune", which is spent when something good occurs to them, an example would be: Winning the Lottery!]

[Winning in a Lottery, is one of the greatest feats of luck that exists, which depletes all the "Fortune" accumulated up to that moment, so many times those who win the Lottery, end up losing very quickly, because they can't control themselves!]

[The Player by breaking the limits, deregulated the acquisition of "Fortune", as well as expanded her ability to carry "Fortune", so the chances of good things happening to her are much higher than simply using statistical data!]

[So we can say that the Player's 549 Luck Points, is not a real number, it is just embellishment, as it can equate to having 1,000 or 2,000 Luck!]

This is a lot of information, confusing as hell, but I understood that Luck is extremely important, thank you for explaining System.

But why is this information not in the options? I read everything!

[There is a lot of deeper information that the Player has not unlocked access to yet, due to low Level, or not having asked the right question yet!]

I get it, but can't you tell me what I have access to?

[If you don't ask, I can't!]

So you are limited by what I ask, even though you have a lot of valuable information, but as long as I don't ask, you won't tell me anything?

[Exactly!]

That's confusing and nonsensical, but I don't think if I keep complaining it will change anything.

[Correct!]

I just sigh and stop touching the subject, but it's nice to know I'm a lot luckier than I thought, smiling I continue to search for a Territory!

...

Hours have passed, the desert heat is hellish, holy shit!

Lucky I acquired [Heat Resistance], it's already at Level 38, but it's still increasing little by little.

While exploring, I killed a lot of creatures using my Magic, but I also used Firearms, there's no reason to limit myself, it's not like I'm going to run out of ammo or weapons, I've spent more than 1 million so far, so I have a fucking arsenal!

I can arm a whole battalion and let them shoot for a few minutes without stopping.

But well, the important thing is that finally, after so many hours, I found a Territory!

Actually I found an Oasis, where mud houses are built in one part, there is even a small plantation in the Oasis.

But what caught my attention, were its inhabitants:

[Lamia - Level 1~50]

Description: Creature half humanoid and half snake, with varying sizes, where its humanoid half can be from 1 meter to 2 meters long, while its snake half can be from 2 meters to 4 meters long!

About 2/3 of their population is made up of women, with their culture being more Matriarchal. Possessors of great lust and wisdom!

Lamia are considered an Intermediate Race, with the potential to reach Level 100 in average terms, with only the talented or special ones being able to exceed these limits!

I got a lot of useful information, my eyes shining, not that I wanted to fuck a snake woman(I really want to), just that they are a more intelligent race and maybe I can subdue them!

And if I can, I will have valuable servants to work for me!

Smiling, I prepare myself, since I know I will have problems dealing with the so-called Matriarch of the Lamia.

Why is that? I sense a powerful Negative Energy from the center of this village, meaning that the Matriarch or someone close to her has a great connection to the Paranormal!

This means that she has made agreements and rituals with the Entities, meaning that they are not weak!

And by the Dungeon Level limit, it is certain that they are Level 50, but not common, meaning that they are the so-called "Talented" or "Special" ones that I read in the information, which can exceed Level 100, which is the common limit of the race.

Okay, enough of that, time to see how things work!
