Chereads / Silve's Adventure / Chapter 4 - Sylvein Dungeon

Chapter 4 - Sylvein Dungeon

Sylvein Dungeon, 15-minute walk from the Sylvein City West Gate. This dungeon has been explored and mapped. An adventurer can get the dungeon map from the guild.

Outside of the dungeon, there is a fence built with a gate that is guarded by adventurer guild's staff.

There are some merchants open a stall near the gate. They sell weapon, shield, armor, and potion. Also, there are adventurers that are trying to sell their loot from the dungeon to those merchants.

An adventurer can sell their loot to adventurer guild and paid using contribution point or sell to other people for money. Selling to the adventurer guild is not as profitable as selling to other people, but contribution point is used for rank-up and can be exchanged for a skill-book that is only available in the adventurer guild.

The entrance of the dungeon looks like a hole in a rock. It is known that dungeon is in another realm, so no matter how big the dungeon is, only the entrance can be seen from the real world.

Silve excitedly walks toward the entrance. After getting permission from the guard, he enters the dungeon. He sees a magical-lamp lighted room. The lamp is planted in the ceiling.

"Woah, the dungeon is brighter than I expected." mutter Silve.

Silve walk around looking for monster or animal that he can kill. Not long after, he noticed a horned rabbit jumps toward him. Surprised by the attack, Silve gets hit in the stomach and fell butt first. Noticing that the rabbit is preparing to attack again, Silve quickly stands up and pick his dagger.

"Come here!" shouted Silve.

The rabbit starts running faster than before toward Silve. But, too bad for the rabbit, Silve is prepared. He dodges to the side while swinging his dagger to the rabbit. The rabbit is injured and there is blood dripping from its body. Not wasting his chance, Silve quickly slashed his dagger again. The rabbit stopped breathing and disintegrated into particles. Shortly after there is a rabbit leg in the position where the rabbit was.

"Oh, so that is what called 'dropping an item'. It is truly magical."

Silve keeps exploring the 1st floor while marking the explored room in his map. He kills all monster that he encounters using his dodge-slash strategy. After all this time he only encountered 15 horned-rabbit, that 15 rabbit gives Silve 3 rabbit leg and 2 rabbit fur. Silve is considering whether to go to the 2nd floor or not.

In the end, he decided to rest and have lunch first. He moved to the room where the stair is located. There are other adventurers that are also resting here. Silve moves toward a lone adventurer.

"Ano... Can I sit here?" Silve tried to ask.

A red-haired young man that is around the same age as Silve answered, "Yeah, of course, why not?"

"Thanks." Silve sits near that man and pulls a bread from his waist bag. "Want some?"

"Nah, I am okay…. You want to go to the 2nd floor?" the red-haired young man asked.

"I'm considering doing that but I don't know if I can go there safely… Do you know any information about the 2nd floor?"

"I haven't explored the 2nd floor yet, but I heard that it is not much different than the 1st floor. The only difference is that on the 1st floor, the horned rabbit is always alone while on the 2nd floor there is a chance that the rabbit is in a pair."

"I see… I think I will check the 2nd floor later."

"Hey, want to go together? I am Allen."

"Well, I think… sure??" answered Silve, not sure about teaming up with a stranger.

"So, what is your name?"

"Ah, it is Silve."

"Nice to meet you Silve," said Allen with a big smile in his face.
