_ Volume 1, Chapter 16
16. Second floor ⑴
Laughter appears in the unfathomably long system window.
Evidence that you have become stronger always makes you feel better.
Taesan confirmed it step by step.
Enemy Victory Reward. Dexterity increased by 2 and Mana increased by 3. There are more and more things to use skills in the future so my rise was always good.
And the reward for leveling up is more
It got better. Dexterity 3 and Strength 1. A whopping 4 stats. It was good news that the strength that had not risen so far increased.
“I expected it but I am satisfied.”
Rewards based on your level look at what you did and what stats you used while accumulating experience points. If you mainly used the strength stat your strength goes up and if you used the agility stat your agility goes up.
It was a natural increase since he had fought quite a bit while dealing with the Giant Rat. It’s still a single digit but as you level up dozens of stats will come in as a level up reward.
I was able to calmly accept this because it was expected up to this point. However in the case of spiritual elevation the story was slightly different.
“What kind of skill is this?”
spiritual rise. Dexterity increased by 3 Strength increased by 2. It is more than the increase according to the rise of the level. It’s a skill that makes no sense no matter how much you search your memory.
Simply put it is incomparably better than holding out or neutralizing attacks. It was a skill that could barely be compared to the degree of multiplication.
okay. I have to give you this kind of compensation.”
I caught two S-ranks as an Easy Mode player so shouldn’t there be something to gain? Taesan whistled and checked the status window.
[Kang Tae-san]
[Level: 4]
[Health: 155/155]
[Mana: 15/15]
[Strength: 14]
[Intelligence: 16]
[Agility: 30]
[Attack Power + 2]
[Defense + Ki
[Subject is in excellent condition.]
under.
It was an admirable stat. Breaking through the first floor and turning 30? The stupid things he tried to raise his stats in Easy Mode came to mind.
Taesan who was deeply moved began to check the reward.
[Random Stat Up Potion]
[Randomly raises one stat
all.]
The effect was as described. The value of a stat never changes. It was an item that even high-level coveted. With no reason to delay Taesan drank the potion.
[Strength is permanently increased by 1.]
yes.
Taesan clenched his fists. The most necessary stat right now has risen appropriately. Now there is only one left.
[You used ???.]
[Obtained two designated stat boost potions.]
Oh.
After confirming the explanation Taesan exclaimed.
[Specified Stat Up Potion]
[Increases the specified stat by 1.]
It was a literal effect and it was an item that was difficult to obtain even beyond the 50th floor. Leveling up is the basic way to raise stats. Other methods were too difficult or had many variables so I had no choice but to rely on luck.
And the level of stats according to level up is what you did while accumulating experience points.
In other words the higher the stat the easier it is to raise because you use it more and the lower the stat the harder it is to raise.
The minimum standard had to be passed to raise it in a balanced way and the designated stat-up potion was the best potion to make it.
It’s an overflowing reward. Taesan drank the potion.
[You drank the designated stat boost potion. You must designate one stat to increase.]
strength.
Taesan immediately replied. other stats
There was no reason to raise I also drank the other one to raise my strength stat.
In an instant his strength increased by 3. Taesan checked the status window with a satisfied face. With these stats if he faced the Giant Rat again he would be able to win without using arrows.
“I also learned a skill.”
Taesan confirms.
[Special activation skill: Counter
[Mana Consumption: 5]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[Retaliates against the enemy’s attack. Inflicts greater damage on enemies.]
counter? You got it sooner than I thought.”
If the opponent’s attack is an attack that can be avoided unconditional evasion is activated. There’s even a counterattack. The counterattack is quite powerful with two to three times the normal damage.
It was a skill on the same level as Bewitched and it was good in different directions. The problem was that the mana consumption was large but it was well worth it.
“Okay.”
Taesan stretched and sat down.
The reward of leveling up can’t even help with mental fatigue. I was thinking of recovering my brain a bit before entering the second floor. After taking a break I thought about the community.
“How are you going?”
A few days ago he left a post on the Alone mode 1st floor walkthrough in the community. He wrote down the shortest route to the Fountain of Life.
But the chances of believing him
wrote Someone writes a strategy while being trapped in an unknown space? Wasn’t that only a few days after being locked up? Even if it’s Taesan I’ll doubt it and see.
Taesan opened the community without much expectation.
Eh?
An embarrassed voice rang out of his mouth. There were several posts on the community. And most of the content was from the Alone mode.
[Park Chan-ung [alone]: Is there anyone who can take a picture of the fountain of life route? anxious
I can’t go.]
[Moon Jae-seong [Alone]: I can’t help it even if I’m anxious. Each person has a different location so you have to follow what the shop owner says.]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: You’ll be safe once you arrive so you’d better run with your teeth clenched. If you stay here longer it will be hard to move because of hunger?]
[Kim Tae-jin [alone]: A race that risks life. That’s really fun. That’s that… … .]
[Kang Jun-hyeok [Alone]: Still there is a possibility
Where is the rado?]
what.
It was so different from the Alone Mode community he remembered.
Before there was only despair in the community.
People disappeared day by day and no one discussed the strategy.
Afterward no one spoke whether they were all dead or broken-hearted.
Only Lee Tae-yeon was talking lively.
But now it was so different.
[Ideal [alone]: The Fountain of Life has arrived! Thank you for your support!]
[Junhyuk Kang [Alone]: Congratulations. From now on if you’re careful you won’t die on the first floor.]
The community was lively. There were rare signs of despair and fear but
It wasn’t dead at all. The hope of being able to survive was showing through the writings.
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: But he. Is it Kang Taishan? Where did he go? I haven’t seen it since I posted that post.]
[Lee Sang [alone]: I haven’t missed a day and only looked at the community but I haven’t seen it.]
[Kang Jun-Hyuk [Alone]: Is he dead?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: No way. The one who broke through must have died in less than a few days? He must be going down by now.]
what. this?
Taesan went down to the second floor. The dwarves were waiting there.
“Did you catch it?”
“So you came.”
The dwarves who looked over Mt. Taesan were happy
laughed
“Looks good. That should be enough. Are you going to use the store?”
“Of course I do.”
Before entering the second floor you need to prepare something. The dwarf bit the pipe.
“Buy what you buy sell what you sell. You should have something to sell by now right?”
“You know me well.”
“Because I watched it until I got tired of it. Are you selling it?”
yes.
Taesan took out Big Rat’s meat from his inventory.
“I will sell meat.”
Meat rots over time. It was better to sell the poor-quality food right away because disease resistance could not cover it. Most of the enemies until the 10th floor were creatures so there was no reason to save them. The dwarf who checked the meat put a price on it.
“This should be around 500 gold. Are you not selling leather? If I had caught the Giant Rat I would have gotten a tooth but that would be a bit expensive wouldn’t it?”
“I don’t sell.”
Monster skins and teeth are useful. Realizing what he was aiming for the Dwarf grinned.
“The blacksmith is looking for you.”
yes.
“Go down a little further and you will find it. I usually die before I go but I wouldn’t worry about you.”
Perhaps because he had broken through the first floor there was stronger trust in the dwarf’s face than before. Taesan who had guessed who they were now was not taken aback.
When I met the dwarf a system window popped up.
[You have encountered the lost king.]
The Lost Dwarf King. A person who has been hauled into the Labyrinth from his own ruined kingdom.
That would be the true identity of a dwarf.
“Then what are you going to buy? Can you show me roughly?”
“I would appreciate it if you could.”
A lot of money. One thousand two hundred gold combined with the sale price. It is not the money to be collected on the first floor. Even if something one level higher
I will be able to live without burden.
As if understanding Taesan’s thoughts the dwarf raised his finger.
“Let me tell you one thing. I will only sell what has been decided. I mean just because you saved up more money than you need you won’t be selling what you can buy on the 4th or 5th floor. If you’re expecting anything you’d better turn it off.”
All right.
Dwarves were like Einzhar. They give to some extent but never to the extent that they become indolent in the benefits. I was trying to keep some kind of line.
ruler. Once it is like this Let me know if you need anything more.”
The dwarf laid out the items. Tae-san checked each one.
This time the potion is filtered. You can’t use the Fountain of Life beyond the first floor but there’s no reason to use it. It was beneficial to use the money to buy potions to buy something else to save stamina.
Taesan checked the arrow. The basic arrows were full and overflowing. All it needed was another arrow.
[Paralysis Arrow]
[Attack Power + 2]
[Paralyzes the target. It may fail depending on the level and stats.]
[30G]
The dwarf who was watching asked.
“Are you going to buy it?”
“I’ll buy thirty.”
“Do you buy a lot?”
“Because I need it.”
If the information on the second floor he had heard from Lee Tae-yeon was true this was necessary. dwarf
With a satisfied look on his face again F handed over the arrow.
“Take it. So now you have 300 gold left so what else are you going to buy? Personally I recommend the device. It must be a little hard to get into the second floor with your equipment right now?”
It has no armor and has only 2 bonus attack power. I can’t rely on the defense power of the tower shield forever. Buying weapons or room equipment is the answer.
Coincidentally among the things the Dwarves showed us there were several spears shields and armor. All prices could be bought under 300.
‘It’s a waste.’
But Taesan was worried. Monsters drop what they have. Big Rats drop hides and meat and enemies holding gear drop gear.
The enemies on the 2nd floor are those who use weapons and armor. That is you can get two things. It felt like a bit of a loss to buy in advance.
A glove came into Taesan’s eyes as he pondered and browsed the products.
[Martial artist’s gloves]
[Attack Power + 1]
[The hand protects. I think I can hit the enemy a little painfully.]
[300G]
Martial Artist’s Gloves. If it had been before I wouldn’t have paid attention to it. This is because gloves only take damage when hit with a fist.
But now it’s different. Taesan raised his glove.
“I will do this.”
“Mutuga gloves? you will use your fist
what? Why buy it?”
“Because I can write.”
The dwarf who was looking at what he was talking about realized.
“Ah the old man gave me the Airak weapon skill. okay. I thought you’d like the lunatic. Still the fact that he gave me martial skills was unexpected right?”
“You know?”
“I know because we are rotting together here. I don’t like it very much
“You say you don’t like it?”
“Who likes a fanatic who runs amok to find God?”
The dwarf frowned. Tae-san realized one thing from the disgust on his face.
The NPCs in the labyrinth are aware of each other. but not friendly Rather it seemed closer to the hostile side.
Level up with skill
