Chapter 22 - Mortiss

After he got to checked everything and he already have enough rest to continue.

Kim Shin, could not wait anymore to see the outside again. So, he excitedly rush out from this dungeon.

'WHOOSH'

Kim Shin lightly pushed the sealed door.

*CREAK*

The Huge Door slowly made a small opening, Despite of that he immediately run through the slit opening.

He could not wait any longer. However, before he got to run far away. He sense something falling from above, he quickly looked up and saw a shiny thing that directly fell at his right hand.

'What is this?'

Kim Shin curiously inspect the red diamond shape gem, covered with black at the edges and a thread steel connected to it like a pendant at his hand.

'Appraise'

[Mortiss Pendant]

Grade: Special

Effects:

● All the accumulated negative emotions will be sucked by this pendant. (0/1000)

● Additional + 20 Luck

■ Awarded with a title 'Mortiss' to the Follower of Sovereign of Death.

"Special Grade Item!"

The pendant stats came as a surprise to him.

He didn't anticipate that some falling item would be a special rank item with a hidden stat 'Luck'.

'Is this a congratulatory Item from Malkthanem?'

With this item, he wouldn't need to worry about the side effect of soul cleaving. He could Soul Cleave without difficulty.

'Did he already knew that I could pass the trial or it's just a hunch?'

He realize that Malkthanem was shrouded in mystery. He doesn't have any idea on how much power does Malkthanem have.

'Sovereign of Death follower..?'

'Am I one of the followers of the Sovereign of Death now?'

Kim Shin is utterly confused, he unexpectedly become a follower of Sovereign Of Death. His strong desire to have a strong power seems like brought him in the dark path.

But there's something different, Usually when they said Sovereign of Death or anything about 'Death' it's all about something bad. However, he's soul cleaving seems like on the opposite. Instead of making the deceased undead, the soul cleaving is releasing them from the grief or darkness.

Despite of being confuse, Kim Shin happily equipped the Mortiss Pendant.

As he equipped the Mortiss Pendant, Kim Shin looked up at the Mortiss title information.

Ding~

System Window popped-up and the Mortiss information appeared before Kim Shin's eyes.

[ Mortiss ]

Effects:

• Additional +50% attack damage when facing undead creature.

• Additional +50% damage reduction when facing undead creäture.

■Bane of all undead's; Symbol Pendant of a follower of the Sovereign of Death.

"Bane of undead's.."

whew~

Kim Shin sighed. Because, he was certain that this Sovereign of Death is probably had a serious problem with undead's.

'Oh right, there's another one..'

He suddenly remembered that there's another title he got at the same time when he accepted his new class.

Opening his Window System, He opened his status screen and clicked at his title.

[Title: Dragon Slayer | Chosen One](4 more..)

●Explorer●

●Dungeon Conqueror●

●One Who Triumphed Over Death●

●Mortiss●

And there, he found the title 'One Who Triumphed Over Death' and he clicked to see the information.

[ One Who Triumphed Over Death ]

Effect:

• For every 1% HP lost, all stats increased by 1%.

■ It's a title given to the one who has courageously endured Death multiple times.

'I like it!'

It was an amazing buff that would increase all of his attributes as he lost life. The 'Dragon Slayer' was decent title on its own, increasing his attributes by 40% against reptile-type monsters. However, its condition made it difficult to see the benefit most of the time.

'If I'm facing something other than a reptile-type, It would be a useless title.'

And now he had earned something that he could always use. After thinking about it, without hesitation. Kim Shin changed his title.

[Title: One Who...| Chosen One] (4 more..)

The unused title would be hidden, but he could always swap it out when he needed it.

Kim Shin grinned.

'Time to ge out, I guess'

As soon as he finished checking and preparing everything, He immediately sprinted. The power of the stats did not shine just in fighting monsters. When he focused, time slowed down. More accurately, Kim Shin had sped up.

'WHOOSH'

■■■■■■■■■■■■■

A few meters outside of the Tomb of the Death Dungeon, a group of 13 men were camping.

Some were eating, drinking water, and few of them were guarding a simple handmade tent, exhaustion were display at their faces.

*Rustle*

The few guards who were armed with a long sword and light leather armor was alarmed by the rustling sound.

"Who's there?!"

The guards called out in alertness.

"It's me.."

A skinny man with a light leather armor and a green bandana on its head showed up.

The few guards who's alerted by the rustling sound, had a sighed of relief after they saw that his one of them.

Lowering their guard a bit, one of the guards asked the skinny man.

"What's wrong, where is the other one with you?"

The guard asked curiously. As, he didn't see the other man who should be with this skinny man.

"I have an important report to the Leader and about the other one, I left him to look-out on the thing we discovered."

The skinny man calmly answered.

"Tell me, what's the important matter?"

The guard asked excitedly. As, he thought that he might get on the good side of their boss. If, he's the one who delivered the Important report to their Leader.

The skinny man glared at the fantasizing guard.

"Are you sure about that?."

A chill run down at the guard's back.

With his greed to get on the good side of their Leader. He almost forgot, what kind of person this skinny man had.

"Ah, No!. Let me guide you to the Leader."

The guard instantly answered in panic and hold the tent open to let the skinny man have a way to enter.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

At the front of the 'Tomb of the Death' dungeon.

A tall burly man with a long scar vertically on his nose that clad in an iron heavy armor and armed with Great Axe were standing with a skinny man beside him. Behind him is 13 more seems like crook people.

"Is this the dungeon?"

The burly man questioned the skinny man beside him.

"Yes, Although I'm not completely sure yet. But, most likely it's a dungeon."

The Skinny man seriously answered. Even though he didn't get to explore it yet. He was pretty sure that this is a dungeon.

*Badum* *Badum*

His heart beat starting to race. He always imagine what kind of monster they would encounter inside this dungeon.

"Good, after this you will be greatly rewarded."

The burly man promised. But, the skinny man didn't have a high hopes with the promise reward. He didn't need anything, but to explore the dungeon.

"Okay, Guys! Are you all ready? We're gonna raid a dungeon!"

The burly man announced.

"YES! LEADER!"

"We're all ready prepared!"

"Let's go, Leader!"

The crowd answered loudly in chorused.

"Okay, LET'S GO!"

The burly man loudly declare.

■■■■■■■■■■■■

After walking for a few minutes.

The group of 15 men, found theirselves in a Hall Room size with a three pathways.

"Boss, which way should we go?."

Asked by one of the men of the burly man.

"Hmm. Now, that we're already standing at the front of this Middle Pathway. Let's go with this way."

With their Leader decision, the group continued forward. But, before they got to move forward, the dungeon suddenly start trembling.

"Woah, Woah!"

"What's happening?"

Confusion filled the faces of the group.

While keeping his balance, the burly man suddenly frown. As, he saw someone running at them that came out from the Middle Pathway.

"Sh*t! What a devious dungeon.."

Kim Shin grumbled. As, he keep running.

The dungeon was really full of unexpected surprises. Because, after he ran for a few minutes, a System window suddenly popped up out of nowhere. Informing him that the dungeon will collapsed in 5 minutes.

He never expect that clearing this dungeon would result on collapsing. So, despite of the trembling dungeon, Kim Shin kept on running.

"Eh? Humans?"

'Oh, it's already at the third day of the tutorial. They are probably the group who found the King Olazusk Fury Bracer before?'
