Chapter 5 - FIRST DUNGEON

This morning, as usual, I was doing both my magic and swordsmanship training. Usually, I wake up earlier than others then go to the Mansion grounds. I have been doing this activity since 3 years ago.

Thanks to the fragment of power granted by Hades-sama, my mana capacity is unlimited. Thanks to that, I could manifest many magics that crossed my head. Maya kaa-san has taught me a lot of magic theory and practice. And because of that also my mana control is good. Thank you Maya kaa-san!

Well, even though my mana capacity is unlimited, it still has a weakness. I'm not physically strong enough to cast magic that's too big. It happened when I created my spatial storage magic and dimension-space magic. Instead, I had a fever for two weeks. Of course, one panicked house. They are trying to find the best doctor to cure me. Even though I said, doctors are more towards ordinary healers, like the medical profession is not yet common or not yet known in this world.

It's fair. After all, this world is like my world in the Middle Ages. Whether it's the government model, an absolute monarchy, its nobility system is feudal, and everything else. At most, what is different here is only magic and swordsmanship. The presence of magic in this world brought little progress that could be different from the earth.

Well, I digress too much, so let's get back on topic. This morning I was in the spatial-dimensional space. Because this space is not affected by time, no matter how long I'm here, the outside time will only pass for one minute. Great, isn't it!

This is where I usually practice my magic and my sword. I usually spend more than three hours practising in this room. Thanks to my persistence, sorcery is improving, and my sword skills are sharper.

Hades-sama has given me a good opponent. Well, even though I say their real opponents are some creature created by Hades-sama and tasked with fighting me. They have the same intelligence as humans, but how brutal! I could die if I didn't put my all into it!

Today I have a plan. I'm honestly quite excited today because this is my first time conquering a DUNGEON! Yes, of course, the Monster's lair. I've been secretly making a living by hunting monsters all this time. The monsters in the world are classified into several levels. The lowest was rank four, while the highest was one. But there is a classification beyond that. They were special level monsters.

They are rarely found. But their presence can even destroy a city in one night. it would take at least five special ranked adventurers to repel them. (adventurers are also classified as monsters).

The monsters I often hunt are semi-ranked. That's the highest I can find so far. Of course, semi-one rank monsters were rare. No need to mention a matter of rank one. They are much rarer. Even to find a semi-one rank monster, at least one had to go deep into the forest.

In this world, the higher the rank of the monster, the more valuable its entire body is. Take the horned wolf, for example. Generally, they were semi-second rank monsters. Even if they evolve, they can reach rank one. Yeah, that rarely happens. To evolve, the monsters need a place with a very large concentration of mana. And dungeons are the most suitable habitat for it.

The horned wolf is a monster with thick fur, a large body, and terrifying fangs. Their claws can hurt you even they don't touch you! This is why this monster is so terrible.

Luckily, if you manage to beat him, you can use many body parts. Its thick fur can be used as expensive clothing because it can be worn in both winter and heat and, to a certain degree, can protect yourself from offensive magic. Fangs and claws can be used to make swords or knives whose quality is one level below mithril.

In essence, there are many more functions of the body parts of monsters in this world. Not to mention flying ants, giant bees, and so on.

Like in anime, manga, light novels that I watched and read in my previous life, the Adventurer's Guild became the agent that bought the hunted of adventurers. They were given the right by almost all kingdoms on the continent of Lantos to buy, sell, and distribute materials for monsters hunted by adventurers. If they felt they couldn't buy the materials that the adventurers were hunting for, they would turn it over to the auction. Quite many nobles needed quality materials from high-level monsters. Then the auction will be the right place to get the material.

Yosh, Now I'm done practising. After being more than four hours in my training room, I prepared to go to the dungeon. Of course, if my two brothers knew my intentions, they would not hesitate to hit me with their swords and magic. Well, they want their cute little sister to be healthy and safe, so sometimes their actions are a bit protective. especially if I send a letter to Lili-chan

After a bit of preparation was done, including stuffing my self-made lunch into my spatial bag, I immediately dashed out of the mansion. The guard of the mansion is quite strict. Marquis soldiers often patrolled in turns. But with my current abilities, sneaking out of the mansion is trivial.

I ran fast, jumping over the roof of the building in the castle city called Romeon. This is a city managed by my father and passed down to my brother. Romeon's name is taken from the first person who was given this area, Romeon Randall.

After running and jumping over rooftops in the city of Romeon, I finally made it to the outside of the castle walls and entered deep into the forest. The forest in this world is similar to the forest in my previous world. What makes the difference is that this forest is full of monsters. After all, this forest had not been entered by previous adventurers. The forest base is still grass. No footpath.

I continued walking through the forest. They have occasionally encountered semi-grade 1 monsters. Even though they were semi-grade 1, their strength was quite different from monsters of the same grade on the outskirts of the forest. They are somehow stronger. Probably because of the strong mana concentration as well.

A few minutes later, I arrived. This dungeon seemed to be different from the dungeons that other adventurers explored. It's more like a dungeon that no humans have ever accessed. Mana concentration is very high. I feel power overflowing in this dungeon.

With a strong heart, I decided to enter this dungeon and unlock its mysteries.
