Slowly Uncertainty Started To Creep In

Even though Axel had circled the 49th floor carefully, he did not find the figure of the enemy who had slashed his left hand, namely the unique monster Razorback Troll. The absence of this monster made Axel even more alert. The Razorback Troll is a very dangerous creature, and its absence indicates that it may be lurking somewhere, ready to attack at any time.

Axel stopped for a moment at the dark intersection, trying to think about his next step. He knew that defeating the Razorback Troll would require more than just physical strength; he must use all the skills and strategies at his disposal. Remembering his previous experience, Axel decided to use 'Appraisal' to identify signs of the presence of Razorback Trolls in the surroundings.

Axel closed his eyes for a moment, trying to feel any vibrations or signs of the monster's presence. After a while, he opened his eyes and activated the 'Appraisal' skill to look for clues. Slowly, he made his way down the dark passages of the dungeon, observing every detail carefully.

Even though Axel had circled the 49th floor carefully, he did not find the figure of the monster that had slashed his left hand, namely the Razorback Troll. The absence of this monster made Axel cringe. It felt as if the monster had disappeared without leaving any traces, making him even more alert to the possibility of an invisible threat.

Axel stood in one of the dark hallways, listening to every sound and observing every movement around him. A shudder ran down his spine. A monster as big as a Razorback Troll that was able to disappear without a trace was something very dangerous. He knew that ignoring these feelings could be fatal.

Axel decided to remain alert and prepared for all possibilities. He checked his equipment again and made sure what he had was ready to use. Relying on the 'Appraisal' skill, he tried to look for the slightest clue that could point to the Razorback Troll's whereabouts. However, despite checking several times, he found no signs of the monster.

Axel's worry grew. He knew that the Razorback Troll could be hiding or preparing a surprise attack. He decided not to stay in one place for too long and continued to move carefully. Axel walked slowly through the dungeon passages, paying attention to every shadow and sound.

Realizing that the only thing on the 50th floor was the boss room with no chance to hunt or prepare further, Axel decided not to continue to that floor. He realized that doing so without sufficient preparation would only lead to inevitable failure and danger.

With a heart full of hope, Axel hoped that the 49th floor would return to normal, allowing him to return to monster hunting to increase his level before he decided to face the boss on the 50th floor. He realized that his success in facing the boss would depend on careful preparation.

Axel returned to exploring the 49th floor with strong determination. He hunted the monsters scattered around him, using every opportunity to level up and collect useful equipment. He also used this time to train his combat skills and strategy, preparing himself as best as possible for the upcoming fight.

Axel had been in this dungeon for weeks, even though time felt like it was blending together in the darkness and danger that constantly lurked. He sometimes wondered about the state of the outside world, remembering how different his life had been before entering this dungeon. However, the situation inside the dungeon made it impossible for him to find out more about the outside world.

 Axel realizes that the only way to return to the outside world is to seek help from high-level adventurers. The last news he heard before entering the dungeon was that the 'Rising Phoenix' guild was carrying out an expedition to clear the 60th floor of this dungeon. They are Axel's only hope of getting out of this dungeon safely.

Axel thought hard. To reach the 60th floor, he had to pass through many floors full of danger, including the 50th floor which was the boss room. However, Axel knew that he had no other choice. He had to find the 'Rising Phoenix' guild and hope to get help from them.

With strong determination, Axel began to formulate a plan. First, he had to make sure that he was strong enough to face the challenges of the 50th floor. He decided to continue training and increase his level on the 49th floor. Every battle against the monsters here was an opportunity to become stronger and better prepared.

 Axel opened the quest window and saw two quests displayed in front of him. One quest is gold with the title 'Become Strong', and the other is blue, namely a sub-quest entitled 'Defeating Unique Monsters'. However, even though he had defeated Gorgolith, which could be said to be a unique monster, the quest remained unfinished.

Axel frowned, feeling confused and a little frustrated. Why was the sub-quest 'Defeating Unique Monsters' not completed even though he had defeated Gorgolith? He examined the details of the sub-quest more closely, trying to find out what clues he might have missed.

Sub-Quest: Defeating Unique Monsters

Description: Defeat a unique monster in the dungeon.

Status: Unresolved

Axel realized that the sub-quest not only asked to defeat any unique monster, but did not specifically mention which monster needed to be defeated in order for the sub-quest to be completed. That means Gorgolith is not the monster referred to in this sub-quest. But a different monster figure.

"Aah… Shit…" Axel grumbled in frustration, leaning his body against the cold, hard wall on the 49th floor. He looked up, only to see a dark, closed ceiling. Feelings of being trapped and exhausted started to creep into his mind, making him feel increasingly irritated by the situation.

Axel felt annoyed because he had been trapped on the 49th floor for so long, with no clear way out. All his efforts to find and defeat unique monsters and increase levels feel like going around in the same circle.

However, amidst all that frustration, Axel knew that he couldn't give up. He recalled his goal: to get out of this dungeon and return to the outside world. To achieve it, he must continue to progress and become stronger. There is no other way but to continue fighting and facing every challenge that is in front of him.

Axel took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind. He needed to plan his next move carefully. Remembering the information about the 'Rising Phoenix' guild that was conducting an expedition on the 60th floor, Axel realized that he had to find them immediately or at least reach that floor. But before that, he had to prepare himself to face the boss on the 50th floor.

After feeling a little calmer and more focused, Axel got up from where he was leaning. He stared straight ahead, his resolve strong again. "I'll get out of here. Whatever happens," he muttered to himself.
