Chereads / Dungeon World Survival / Chapter 4 - Second Floor

Chapter 4 - Second Floor

As he left the room, he finds a hallway and some torches lined up, lighting up the area. The place looks unnaturally clean.

He walks on the place without thinking about the scenery too much, opting to find more monsters he can kill for his EXP.

After walking for awhile, he finds another door that seems to lead to another room. He goes inside it and see that within is a small room, and two humanoid faceless creatures that are made of plastic. There are a total of three of these plastic men.

"Oh. So this is the mobs of this floor. This is too lame!"

He made quick work of them.

[You got 4 EXP]

[You got 4 EXP]

[You got 4 EXP]

After that, he leaves the room to look for more areas. There is nothing in that room so he leaves it.

While walking through the halls of this dungeon, he encountered two more plastic men before he got to another room. Going inside, he finds a room with a group of five men made of plastic.

He quickly attacks them, defeating them by shredding them with his hands. After that, he looks around this new room.

"Hm?"

He saw something on the ground and gets close to it. Kneeling besides the corner of the room, he squinted his eyes before taking the object.

The hidden object seems to be a worn pouch made of a soft leather. Something seems to be inside it so he opens it.

Looking inside, he saw some berries. He don't know if it was poisonous or edible.

Now that he sees the berries, he just recalled that he hasn't eaten anything since he arrives on this world. He strangely didn't feel that hungry and he still have enough strength to go on, but being reminded of that makes him feel some hunger.

"Right. I haven't even eaten anything. I also felt thirsty right now."

He quickly stood up and decided to take the pouch of unknown berries.

"I have to grind for more EXP. I think I might get some food along the way."

He goes on with that thought in his mind.

~~o~~

Thirty minutes later...

[Level Up]

He manages to level up after taking awhile to roam this dungeon. He thinks this one is a lot larger than it is, recalling how many paths that he haven't taken yet.

"It's great that I got this knife when I got to this room."

He looks at the knife that he has just recently gotten to this room. This is the new room that he encountered and he found this knife inside a worn pouch lying on the corner of this room.

After that, he stood up. Then he looks around the area.

"There is nothing else in this room, and only these knife and the mysterious berries are in my possession. It seems like it is rare to find the treasures here." He muttered to himself.

A normal person would have questioned where does this items came from and who put them on the rooms of this dungeon, but he is different. In his own logic as someone who have knowledge of Isekai and also as a gamer, it is just natural for a dungeon to give loots for the people.

It might be because they are luring in the people to some kind of trap, or maybe the dungeon is just trying to be nice, or it might because magic is involve somehow.

Regardless, it is common sense for him that a dungeon must drop some loots so he can become more stronger.

"Monsters not having loots already makes this a trashy dungeon!" He grumbled.

After grumbling about that, he looks at his status.

[Abilities]

Growth Promotion (Level 1)

He have decided to focus everything on his Vitality. He wanted to be as durable as possible so nothing can hurt him. It would be like that certain anime he watches, and he wanted to be like that.

If nothing can hurt me, then I can do whatever I want on my enemy!

That is his reasoning anyway.

After resting for awhile, he decided to continue on, exploring the Second Floor with high hopes for himself.

~~o~~

"Okay... now this is different."

He looks at the new creature that he encountered after defeating more plastic men. This one is also a faceless humanoid creature, though it is now made of wood.

Wood, which he was sure he can't defeat with his bare hands alone. Thankfully, he have a knife that is made of iron.

He quickly decided to try and dice it, only to be surprised when his knife was stuck by it's body alone.

"Fuck!"

The wooden man is a lot faster than a paper and a plastic man, though it is still slow enough that he can see the trajectory of it's attack.

With quick thinking, he let go of the knife and takes a step back, dodging the attempted side jab of the wooden monster. Then he made a boxing stance.

"Come at me!"

He didn't know if he can really do it. It seems like it is purely made of wood that even his knife as it barely manages to pierced through it's wooden skin.

The wooden monster tries to attack him again but he manages to punch it, not letting it get on his distance by using his slight advantage of his reach. His arms seems to be more longer than the wooden man, so he can put it on the distance and make some small quick jabs to wear on it's defenses.

Though it is taking awhile and it seems like he haven't even dented it yet.

"Damn, what should I do?"

He don't know what to do else. His knife is stuck on it's wooden body, and he can only use his hands.

"Right, why don't I do that?"

An idea came to his mind as the monster tries to attack him once more.

He quickly dodges it before ramming it to the ground. As it fell to the ground, he quickly straddled the wooden monster and make sure to also grind his feet on it's wrist, making it so that it can't retaliate.

It tries to move around and struggle against his hold, but he didn't let it fight and grabs it's head. Them he tries to yank it.

The plan is simple, if he can't hurt it by using his punches, then he will just tear it's head out. Using the force of his body is a lot more stronger than just throwing out weak punches.

He still have enough common sense to think about that.

Good thing I have read some trivial knowledge about grappling powers and punching powers!

He have read that grabbing someone is more effective in combat rather than punching them. An effective submission can make any enemies helpless, so he can freely do whatever he wanted to them.

It seems like he weighs more than he thinks because the wooden monster can't even make enough force to stand itself upright and is just flailing around with it's legs.

He pulls the head repeatedly, forcing it's head out of it's body. The sound of something straining can be heard as he uses his body more, pulling and pulling while gritting his teeth.

"Just die already!"

He pulls again once more, and heard something popping before he felt a sense of weightlessness. After that, he fell on his butt, his hand clutching the head of the faceless wooden monster.

"... I won...." He felt so satisfied having done that.

[You got 20 EXP]

He patted his body, taking out some of the dust on his pants before looking at the headless monster. Then he kneeled and takes the knife still stuck on it's body. It took a bit of an effort, but he managed to take the knife out of it's body.

Then he leaned on the wall before sitting on the corner, heaving a breathe while feeling a bit tired at that battle.

"What the hell... it is getting harder...!"

He didn't thought that other than the plastic monsters, there are also these humanoid monsters that are completely made of wood.

He thought about what other monsters are out there. There might be something out there that are fully made of stone, or even of pure iron. He didn't want to face something like that.

"Damn."

He thought about the paths that he still haven't gone through, and then how large this floor is compared to the first floor. There are many rooms here unlike the earlier floor.

"Are there more of that wooden monster?"

He felt a bit nervous now thinking about that.

On his battle awhile ago, he is tough enough that he can't even feel it even when wooden monster is struggling against him. He have felt it kneeing him on the back but he only felt a dull feeling behind him as he focuses on taking off it's head.

"I am durable enough to withstand that. I think I need enough firepower to deal with my enemies!"

He can't just hope to get some sort of weapon. He also have to get some strength so he can hit stronger and hurt tougher enemies.

His plans changes, he decided to stand up once more and look for more enemies. His mind is now made up and is going to use his Status Points on his Strength next.
