Chapter 4 The First Dungeon Clear

Forcing myself to remain calmer, I cleared the first floor quickly and headed down the winding steps to the 2nd floor.

Forcing myself to remain calmer, I cleared the first floor quickly and headed down the winding steps to the 2nd floor.

The goblins came in batches of 3-5, and just ran towards me when I neared. I didn't let them get any closer than 4 meters from me, hurling spear of fire towards them as soon as they were in my sight

And just like that, an incredulous sight occurred in the F ranked Dungeon [Goblin Paradise]. Without a moment of rest, an F ranked hunter cleared the 2nd floor, and the 3rd...and the 5th...all the way to the end of the 9th floor with ease

Without a single issue, I had effectively taken down groups of goblins , collected multiple [Core]s, and reached the BOSS room all by myself

I reeled my emotions in as I let out a confident smile...and went further down to the BOSS room

At the boss room, there's a 'Goblin King' who is 2 times as big as a 'Black Goblin'.

"ROAR!!!"

The boss was comparably stronger than the 'Black Goblin'.

When it sees me it gets excited and sticks its halberd into the ground, and which starts radiating light.

Even though it was struck on muddy ground it gave off a large shockwave.

My smile does not leave my face as five fire spears fly towards the goblin king that is now charging towards me. The first hit its c.h.e.s.t, stopping it on its tracks. The second and third smash its shoulders, knocking it backward. The fourth and fifth explode on either side of its head, effectively finishing it off.

As soon as the goblin king crashed down, a blinding light flashed in the last floor and a green crystal rose in the middle. Touching this crystal will allow you to leave the room and appear at a random location near the entrance of the dungeon

I then go towards the now dead ape to see any possible drops. By its side, a few F rank [Core]s are present...along with a [Skill Book]

I grab the [Core]s and put them inside the bag, before reaching out for the skill book.

[ Poision Strike ] was now in my hands, giving me quite a shock. It wasn't the rarest of F rank skill books, but it was one of the more expensive ones as it easily took care of monster because of it's poision.

I also placed the skill inside the bag and proceeded to sit down and think while staring at the green crystal in front of me. The problem at hand is how I should handle myself from now on

An F rank newly awakened hunter clearing an F ranked Dungeon in under 40 minutes was unbelievable. It would have to be someone who was B ranked or above to be able to carry out the same thing

I made sure not to show too much of what I could do when I took the licensing exam because currently, all I have going for me is the fact that I seem to have a large pool of energy to cast skills. This does not mean I am powerful, nor do I hold the power of someone rank C or higher

Even a rank D or C could easily sneak behind me and take me out as long as they're faster than me. So my plan was to stay low key until I could buy more skills, preferably higher ranking ones that cost less mana.

Sigh, and that required money.

Another plan was forming in my head though. Looking over at the gains just from clearing [ Goblin Paradise] once, I had in total 1 F Rank [Skill Book] and 40+ [Core]s from the more than 200+ goblin had killed from the 9 floors before

This alone made me bolder to make some accelerated plans...

Just from one Dungeon run alone, I can make more than $80,000...In under 40 minutes. This alone gave me a great shock.

Normal parties would have to split the loot, and it would take them more than 3 hours of intensely fighting monsters in close combat, which brought them exhaustion and made many parties recuperate for a few hours after each dungeon run.

Most parties would go into the dungeon once or twice a day. With each person making around $15,000, the life of a hunter can be considered very luxurious

So, assuming the BOSS drops either a skill book or possibly an item, I can make around 80 grand each run...this made many ideas dance around in my head wildly.

I've already spent many months observing hunters and researching every knowledge available to the public about them. I've researched even more into all the known [Skill Book]s and [Item]s that can be dropped from BOSS rooms

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves before I came to terms with a new plan. It was somewhat risky, but it will be fast and reduce any possible future problems, whether it be from monsters or hunters.

The world after the apocalypse was vastly different, but still the same. Now even more filled with dangers and deaths. A hunter could easily be killed by monsters, robbed by other hunters, or killed by the government if they do not fall inline

To secure my safety while rising up, I will need a highly defensive and offensive skill, and well as a speed supporting skill. Something of C rank or above would be highly effective, and yet the cheapest C rank skills start off at $700,000

An idea solidly formed in my head and took root. I knew what I had to do. I didn't wanna cause too huge of a commotion, so even though I will have to go in a roundabout way, I can still keep on diving into dungeons today.

The plan was to head to another dungeon after leaving [Goblin Paradise]. As much as I wanted to enter the dungeon again, I know I would easily be recognized the moment I head towards the entrance again.

I won't repeatedly dive into dungeons with such a fast clear speed until I have some measure of confidence to be able to protect myself from most threats. The goal for now is...power close to or equivalent to Rank B.
