DN : [7] Dungeon
🕑 Added 2023-12-29 00:10:17 +0000 UTCThe underground dungeon had appeared in this world at some unknown time.
Within the dungeon, the environment was complex and ever-changing, with monsters continuously spawning. The deeper the layers, the more terrifying and unpredictable the monsters became.
Orario was established for the purpose of suppressing the underground dungeon. The emergence of adventurers was also a means the gods used to combat the dungeon.
The entrance to Orario's underground dungeon was the center of the entire city and the most iconic structure, the Tower of Babel!
The lowermost level of the Tower of Babel was the guild area, as the guild was established by Ouranos.
The middle level of the Tower of Babel was the commercial area, where many commercial familia sold top-notch goods.
The most famous was the Hephaestus Familia. Many shops in the Tower of Babel belonged to the Hephaestus Familia, and a large number of top-tier equipment in Orario was sold here.
As for the upper level of the Tower of Babel, that was the residence of the gods.
The Goddess Freya resided at the top of the Tower of Babel.
Upon reaching the Tower of Babel, led by Riveria, August entered the entrance to the underground dungeon.
After climbing layer by layer of stairs, August finally stepped into the underground dungeon, even if it was only the first layer.
The underground dungeon, in terms of its underground structure, was similar to a pyramid. The further down, the wider and more troublesome it became.
The top layer was like a beginner's village, and the deeper you went, the more dangerous it became.
Step~
Stepping into the first layer, August began his adventure.
Riveria was now at a distance from August. Although she came with him, she didn't interfere much with his adventure.
Moreover, this was an excellent opportunity for her to observe August.
Of course, if there was any danger, she would naturally intervene. After all, August's value didn't allow him to perish prematurely.
Click~
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the wall of the dungeon, and a monster crawled out of it.
All dungeon monsters were generated by the dungeon itself, endless in number.
This particular monster had dark green skin, a short and squat figure, and crimson eyes.
A goblin, the representative of countless games, anime, and novels, the mascot of cannon fodder along with slimes and skeleton soldiers, and unbeaten for many years.
Buzz~
August didn't waste any time and directly activated the Gate of Babylon.
In the golden ripples, a long sword shot out directly.
Bang~
The long sword pierced through the goblin's neck, and its small body fell to the ground, turning directly into a black mist, then disappearing, leaving behind a tiny magic stone.
Just one magic stone like this could be exchanged for the cheapest food item in Orario, a loaf of black wheat bread.
August didn't mind and picked up the magic stone, his eyes gleaming.
Slaying monsters and leveling up was the main theme of this world, and now he had begun.
Click~ Click~
In the nearby walls of the dungeon, goblins climbed out one by one.
There were about a dozen of them.
"Hahaha. Monsters, become the experience points for my growth. It's an honor for you!"
Buzz~
Golden ripples appeared one after another, and the next moment, weapons shot out like arrows.
Although the goblins were swinging their claws to tear August into pieces, they were directly killed midway.
After killing a goblin, the summoned sword turned into golden dots and disappeared, then was shot out again.
A dozen goblins themselves weren't formidable. Any adventurer with courage could easily defeat them.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host, on completing the quest 'Test the Waters I: Hunt 10 level 1 monsters, 10/10, Completion Reward: Regular Draw Once.']
The quest was completed. August had killed 10 level 1 monsters.
Moreover, the Tears of the Goddess hanging around August's neck now had accumulated more than a dozen layers of magic power.
Every time August summoned a weapon, it was equivalent to consuming magic power, and there would naturally be one layer of charging.
Observing August easily deal with a dozen goblins, Riveria nodded slightly. At the same time, she could be sure that August's spatial ability didn't consume much magic power.
This also enhanced August's strategic value. In the not-too-distant future, August would become the core of the Loki Familia.
"System, start drawing gacha!"
Without hesitation, August directly used the draw opportunity he had just obtained.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the item: French Fries * 100 packs!]
Hearing this, August was momentarily stunned, then his face filled with indignation.
What's the meaning of this? Drawing a gacha and getting french fries? Is this a joke?
This was the draw opportunity he obtained after slaying 10 monsters, and he got 100 packs of french fries?
Did he exhaust all his luck in Orario?
Crack~
At this moment, goblins had surrounded August.
Their numbers were many. During the time August spent drawing a gacha, nearly thirty goblins had been generated around him.
Seeing so many goblins, Riveria felt a bit worried. She didn't know if August could handle these goblins.
"Perfect timing, I'm in a bad mood right now!"
Buzz~
A long sword extended in front of August and was directly taken in his hand.
The next moment, August rushed out. Behind him, the Gate of Babylon didn't close, instead, it continued to shoot at the goblins.
With a swing of the sword, August directly left a wound on a goblin's shoulder.
However, due to the lack of combat experience, August mostly relied on his brute force to hack around.
Riveria didn't look down on August. After all, he was someone who had just received a falna. Being able to charge into battle against monsters on the first encounter already showed great courage.
Splat~
Another swing of the sword, this time directly cutting the goblin's throat.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, directly dyeing August red.
After bathing in blood, August's first reaction wasn't disgust but a boiling pleasure from the blood.
He seemed to be a born maniac who loved blood. In this world of life-and-death battles where blood was shed with every strike, he felt a pleasurable sensation of breaking free from restraint.
Like a beast with shackles suddenly removed, breaking free from the chains.
In August's bones, there was such a hidden personality, but in modern society, August would never discover it. In that era, there would be no such opportunities.
