Leaning on the cave walls, Quinn was covered in cuts and bite marks.
[Do you want to sell 'Steel Fang'(3) and 'Broken Steel Fang'(1) in the shop?]
[Yes/No]
He didn't think twice before he selected the Yes option.
[700 G gained]
He let out a deep sigh and thought: 'Can I not leave this place? The portal entrance is blocked'. Thinking about the entrance, he got up and walked to where he was first sent to when he went through the portal.
When he got to the Portal that teleported him into this dungeon, he could see a message right in front of it; it said:
[You cannot exit the dungeon. Kill the boss or use a Return stone to get out]
"How the hell am I supposed to kill the boss without a party?!" Quinn complained, 'Who am I even talking to... .'
Moving on quickly, he started his search for the Return stone by killing monsters and turning boulders in the dungeon...

Quinn was panting intensely as the bodies of the monsters he killed were starting to disintegrate. After calming down he picked up all the items and looked at his status window.

"Hahaha, finally found it..." Quinn laughed as he layed on the floor holding a smooth circular stone with runes engraved on it, emanating an ethereal glow.
After a few minutes of rest, he was staring at the stone deciding whether he wanted to return or not. 'I probably won't get a chance like this to level up, I also have the quest... I can't just give up when I'm this close to completing two of them.' he thought, 'So I'll beat the boss and get even stronger, but if things get worse I'll use it. I hope I can use it during the Boss fight... .'
After contemplating about whether he would stay and level up and get stronger, or leave the dungeon, he finally put the stone in the new Inventory tab.

[Do you want to sell 'Colt Claws'(2) on the shop?]
[Yes/No]
[850 G gained]

"I probably shouldn't sell this ring... ."
———
[Minor blending ring]
Item rank: E
Type: Accessory(Ring)
-A ring which makes the wearer harder to detect(Can be turned invisible)-
———
'With this on, I don't think these monsters will be able to sense me' Quinn thought as he looked at the ring on his finger.
He then saw a single wide path leading to a big room, Quinn knew that this would be the boss room. It was too obvious.
Walking forward, he stopped just a few steps away from the room. A shudder ran down his spine, his body was telling him to turn back right that instant.
'Is... is this because of my Sense stat rising?' he wondered, 'I need to get stronger before going in there. Time to grind, I guess... .'
He then started walking back...

As Quinn was going on a rampage, he didn't even notice that he had completed two quests. After picking up all the items from the monsters, he opened his quest tab.
———
[Reach level 15 to be able to use the shadow properly(Completed)]
[Reward: New Shadow Skill]
[Would you like to accept your reward?]
———
Not hesitating one bit, he accepted the reward of a new Shadow Skill to add to his arsenal.
[You have learnt a new skill. Open the Skills tab for more information]
Before Quinn went over to his skills, he thought he would check out the other quest too.
———
[Kill 10 monsters by yourself(Completed)]
(10/10)
[Rewards: Hidden]
———
[User can now access the shop to buy Items and Equipment]
[Additional reward: 10,000 G]
"So the shop was the reward after all," said Quinn as he closed the quest tab, "I even got 10,000 gold. That's double the amount of what I have right now. Unlocking new shit always gets me excited, man; I gotta check out the Shop, but first...".
Closing the quest tab, he rushed over to his skills excited to see his new skill and be able to use the Shadow ability.
———
-Shadow ability-
[Shadow control] Lvl 1
The user can control their shadow, it can be used to block enemy attacks. As the skill levels up the control over the shadow increases and the delay to move the shadow will decrease.
[Dimensional storage] Lvl max
The user can store items in their shadow, it does not have a limit to how much it can store.
[Shadow attach] Lvl 1
This skill attaches a part of the users shadow to another person or beast to spy on them. Some strong people will be able to detect the shadow so use this skill wisely (If the shadow is detected, the skill will be cancelled).
Linked skill:
[Share senses] Lvl max
Allows the user to see what the person with a part of the user's shadow sees and hears.

'A spying skill, huh? That's probably useful for an Assassin, but not right now, in this dungeon it has no use. What could the monsters be possibly talking about and hinding, lol,' he thought, 'But... the shop will be really useful, so let's take a look at that'.

All Equipment Consumables Materials
Two-handed Stone Axe 37,000

After spending a hefty amount of time browsing through the shop and looking for useful equipment, Quinn was finally in front of the boss room, ready to enter with new gear.
"Let's do this!" he grinned.
