Chapter 5

When I entered the dungeon, a gloomy atmosphere emerged. After advancing a little further, goblins began to emerge from the walls of the dungeon. The dungeon tries to cope with adventurers by producing monsters in this way. According to the guild, the dungeon has a consciousness of its own. Meanwhile, the goblins that appeared ran towards me and tried to attack. I countered each of them with a low-level fireball before ignoring them. Since he wasn't interested in the weak monster, I decided to speed up and move to deeper floors.

I started going through the floors based on the map Eina gave me. After a short while, I reached the 7th Floor by destroying the monsters I encountered. As you go deeper into the dungeon, the monster that appears begins to increase with a significant difference in both number and power.

Judging by the strength of the monsters I've fought so far, I can say that my strength is roughly the same as a Level 4 adventurer.

After lingering on this floor for a while, I decided to go deeper. A few hours later, I reached the 11th Floor. It was larger than the other floors and the environment started to become more foggy. There were sparse trees inside the floor. After a while, ıt appeared with a Level 2 monster called an orc. A dozen of them were born at once and began to surround me. Since I've been using magic so far, I decided to use my sword this time.

I took a stance by unsheathing my sword on my waist. Loki gave me this sword before she came to the dungeon. Also, at her intense insistence, I wore light armor. After I drew my sword, the orcs started running towards me, waving the sticks in their hands, as if this was a sign. Using the strength and speed my demon physique gave me, I parried the first attack. Each orc moved like a turtle in my eyes. Since it was almost evening, I didn't want to waste too much time.

Using my sword, I began to chop down the orcs one by one. The last orc turned to dust, leaving behind a magic stone. I collected the stones and put them into the system's inventory. Saying that's all for today, I decided to leave the dungeon. Loki may forbid me from entering the dungeon for a while if I return late.

It didn't take long for me to reach the surface by following the direction I came from. When I came out, I could see the redness of the evening. I decided to exchange the magic stones I collected tomorrow and started walking towards the twilight mansion. I quickened my steps to avoid being scolded by Loki.

When I arrived at the mansion, the guard at the door nodded and greeted me when he saw me. Even though I have just joined the family, everyone here knows that I am a new member by Loki. After giving them a small nod, I went inside. Since today is my first day in the dungeon, I can't wait to see how I improve on paper. I quickly went to my room, cleaned myself and changed my clothes. Then I quickly came to Loki's room and knocked on her door.

"Come in." Loki replied in a lazy tone. Once I entered, I wasn't surprised at the sight I saw. There were bottles scattered around as Loki lay numbly on her couch. I slowly walked towards her, being careful not to step on the bottles. When Loki saw me coming, she woke up from her stupor and sat up.

"Sakuya! Here you are. Came to update your status?" Loki patted the side of her chair and asked me to sit down. I nodded at her question before sitting down next to her.

"Yes. Since today is my first day, I'm curious to see how I've improved." I told her honestly what was on my mind. Loki chuckled and opened her eyes slightly.

"Okay. Normally I don't update everyone's status every day, but since the others aren't here, I'll make an exception for you. Now. Undress." At the end of her sentence, she started rubbing her hands, looking like a pervert uncle. I looked at her, not hiding the disgust in my eyes. Then, with a sigh, I undressed, exposing my back to her.

"Do anything strange and you will suffer the consequences, Loki." After warning her, I lay down on the sofa.

"Sure, Sure..." Loki ignored my warning and sat on my back and began updating my status. A few seconds later, I looked back, startled by Loki's shocked voice. Loki was looking at the paper showing my situation in her hand in astonishment, as if she had seen a ghost. Even her eyes, which were always squinted, were wide open.

"Hahahaha, I really hit the jackpot." When Loki recovered from her surprise and started laughing, I put on my clothes and grabbed the paper in her hand and started to look at my own ability.

Sakuya Izayoi

Lv.1

Pow-I -> G(248)

End-I -> G(248)

Dex-I -> F(346)

Agi-I -> G(225)

Mag-I -> E(472)

-Demon magic manipulation(A)

-Demon physics(B)

-Destruction power(B)

-Swordsman(C)

Even though my abilities didn't improve, my stats had increased ridiculously. Although my base power is strong, since I am a newbie adventurer who has just received blessings, killing high-level monsters one after another must have allowed me to get more experience value.

After looking at my situation for a while, I looked at Loki, who had just calmed down. When she saw the flat expression on my face, she frowned and said:

"Ahh, I should have expected that. Your reactions are not fun at all. Let me tell you, Sakuya, your growth rate is abnormal. It's a lot, especially considering it's your first day. Don't tell anyone about this for now. You don't need to attract the attention of unwanted people." Loki sighed and warned me not to show my condition to others.

"Don't worry, Loki. I have no intention of sharing this with anyone." After giving her the paper, I decided to go to my room.

"Have a good rest. Also; I know you're strong, but I still want the careful one."

"Don't worry Loki, I only have one life and I won't carelessly endanger it." I said. Then I said goodbye to her and came to my room. I wasn't very tired in the dungeon today, but I fell asleep in a short time since I have made it a habit to go to bed early since my childhood.
