DUNGEON BREAK CLEARED

It was 18:30(6:30 p.m), when Jae-Hyuk got up after resting for 45 minutes on one of the step of staircase and climbed down towards the third floor. It didn't take him long to step out of the staircase and landed in a wetland with a few verdure. The view was astonishingly beautiful, even though there was not a lot of light. Suddenly, the senses of Jae-Hyuk alarmed him of an incoming attack from a creature with incredible aura. This was mainly due to his sense stats reaching 31.

Immediately after he got into a offensive stance while being armed with a dagger held in reverse grip in his left hand and the sword rusted in the other hand. All the fibers and muscles in his body, were ready to deploy all of their strength to intercept the upcoming attack. A long, log-like creature darted at Jae-Hyuk and the latter sidestepped and clung to the creature with glowing amber eyes and whose full appearance he hasn't yet seen.

As the creature reached closer to the ceiling where a few tube lights were still working properly, all his features became clearer. The monster was a large, blue-scaled cobra of about twenty meters, with a long black fork tongue and glowing amber eyes. Jae-Hyuk was clinging to the snake with the help of the dagger in his left hand that was stabbed into its cheek from the inside.

"Did you think really think that you could launch a surprise attack on me..... Don't underestimate me, damn snake!" Jae-Hyuk said as he used all the strength that his left arm can muster and pulled his body up. He then stabbed at the right amber eye of the snake with his sword using all the strength in his right hand. He immediately summoned another rusted dagger from his inventory and started to hit the top of the sword's hilt with the top of the dagger's hilt a dozen of times.

Jae-Hyuk only stopped hitting the hilt of the sword with the hilt of the dagger, until the sword's blade had completely pierced through the other eye from within. The snake died on the spot and its corpse started to fall very rapidly, Jae-Hyuk immediately let go of the dagger in his left hand. Jae-Hyuk landed on the flooded floor a few seconds after the dead snake, and while landing he rolled in the water over about 3 meters.

Jae-Hyuk checked the messages that popped up as he got up on his feet. He summoned his inventory, as soon as he finished reading the messages and pulled out a leather pouch. He then drunk the content of the pouch which was a purple liquid, in one-go, and a few seconds later, he was kneeling in the water with red eyes and several veins popping on his face.

'Close -STATUS- and -SKILL- !!!... The harvest from this dungeon are pretty good, but I should get going as the dungeon will shortly disappear... Also, I have a very suspicious look right now and being magically thrown back into reality in the middle of many people... hmmm... will not be very helpful... I must get into one of the toilet of the subway before that.' Jae-Hyuk pulled the sword out of the disappearing corpse of the snake and put it back in the inventory. He then immediately used the skill -(SPRINT)-.

15 minutes later, more precise at 19:00 (7 p.m).

Jae-Hyuk was walking on a street about two hundred meters from the Hapjeong Subway station, while eating a cereal bar and a half-filled bottle of water. Suddenly, he felt the appearance of an immense aura about five hundreds meters away, thanks to his heightened senses with the help of his sense stats.

'If I'm wrong that's the direction of the sole D-rank dungeon of the area.... I thought that I would get to the hospital before the Dungeon Break, but it seem that the heavens are on my side... Monsters are being delivered to me... Now, I don't have any excuse to not test my KASAKA'S FANG.' Jae-Hyuk thought as he dashed towards the direction of the Dungeon Break.

[A/N: Dungeon Break occurs when the monsters get out of the dungeon due to the dungeon not being clear after a set period of time. The time period for that phenomenon to occur, varies depending on the level of the dungeons. The lower ones have shorter period of time to clear.]

At the location of the Dungeon Break, a hundred of magic beast had just got out of the dungeon. Those magic beasts were called Stone Gorillas. They walked on their four limbs in a similar fashion to Gorillas, and they have around 8 stone spikes on their back and their skins are covered with thin layer of rocks. They also circular maws with teeth protruding to the outside and two pairs of red eyes. The Stone Gorillas were guarding the gate leading to the dungeons, as if they were waiting for some thing to come out.

"AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH" Suddenly, all the Stone Gorillas shouted fiercely and turned their heads in the same direction. The reason for their agitation was Jae-Hyuk who was running towards them with a dagger in each of his hands, and his hood on his head. The dagger in his right hand, was small and black with a white edge and a hilt made out of bones. When he was only a few meters away from the monsters at the front, Jae-Hyuk used his skill -(SPRINT)- and cut down or stabbed the monsters; one after another, as soon as they entered his range.

He aimed mainly at their mouths and their eyes, which were the weak spot of those monsters. After ten minutes, he had completely butchered all the Stone Gorillas, and the two effects of Kasaka's Fang played a huge role in it. As Jae-Hyuk was exhaling some water vapour in order to relief some of his fatigue, his level has gone up by one level during the fights with the Stone Gorillas.

Suddenly, a large stone foot got out of the gate and then, two stone hands. Finally, an enormous Stone Golem came out of the gate and then, the gate disappeared. That monster was the Boss Monster of the D-rank Dungeon that just closed after he got out. Jae-Hyuk had already retreated, when the monster stepped one foot out and was standing beside a metallic signpost near groceries a few dozens of meters away from the monster.

He returned his daggers to his inventory, and grabbed the two meter signpost with both hands. He used all his strength to pull the signpost and a large piece of concrete from the pavement. He then slid his right hand along the steel rod, until it was about 30 centimeters from the end. He activated -(SPRINT)- and dashed while holding the signpost. The golem sent a punch at Jae-Hyuk and He evaded the punch. Then, he used the arm of the golem as a pathway to the shoulder of the stone monster.

When he reached the shoulder, he jumped to get at the same level as the golem's face. Jae-Hyuk grabbed the signpost like a metal bat and slammed it on the face of the monster with all his strength. The impact of the blow destroyed half of the monster's face, and the golem kneeled down with his left hand on the ground. Jae-Hyuk started to fall down, but before he got too much lower than the head, he launched the signpost like a projectile.

The signpost that didn't have any concrete on it, flew towards the damage part of the head at an astonishing speed.

[Baaaammm!!!!!]

The collision of the signpost and the head of the stone golem made a huge sound and the body of the golem crumbled. On the other hand, Jae-Hyuk safely landed on the ground in front of the enormous pile of rocks.
