Chapter 3 - 3 - The First Major Trial Begins!

"It's been three days since I've arrived in this new world. I've been sleeplessly farming these boarwolf scouts since I got to the area. I've been able to cook some of the meat as food, and there's a river nearby with clean water," Kuroko said to himself, although it seemed like he was talking to another person. He opened his Menu.

Name: Arata Kuroko

Age: 18

Aurum: 1500

Class: None

Level: 5

Experience: 2500

Stat Points: 0

Stats: Strength Lv. 5 - Agility Lv. 5 - Stamina Lv. 5 - Magic Lv. 1

Skills: None

Abilities: Menu

"I've learned that the experience shows a total, not progress. And I get 3 stat points per level. And mobs are given certain stats, and then their level is the average of their stat levels, rounded. Damnit, my dagger is finally broken. Jesus, 500 boarwolves is what it took. Pretty damn sturdy weapon if you ask me. I have 1500 aurum… I can probably buy some new stuff. Higher tier gear was pretty pricey, though. Maybe I could just pick up a new weapon and farm boarwolves again."

Kuroko began to walk back to the town.

"I still can't believe 500 boarwolves even showed up in just 3 days. Maybe something else is going on..," Kuroko thought.

Without any disturbances, Kuroko made it back to the town. His first order of business was to go to the blacksmith and pick out a new weapon.

"That dagger lasted a while, eh kid?"

"Yeah, thank you for letting me buy it," Kuroko said with a slight smile.

"Since you looked new, and are only a kid, I thought I'd give you something decent for a cheaper price."

"Oh, thank you!" Kuroko said with a bigger smile.

Kuroko began to walk around the shop, looking specifically at the sword section.

"How much for this one?" Kuroko pointed at a sword that was emitting a somewhat malicious aura.

"That thing? Everyone's been scared to even touch it. I've never noticed anything wrong with it, though. I found it in a ruin not too long ago."

"Ok, well, how much?"

"Take it. Nobody ever wants to buy it anyways."

Kuroko looked at the man surprised, and picked up the sword. Kuroko then gave the man 500 aurum out of pure kindness.

Walking out of the blacksmith, Kuroko felt uneasy. Something was definitely off about the sword. And it wasn't only the presence he had felt coming from it.

"I guess I should go test this thing out in a better spot."

Kuroko walked back to the boarwolf scout area, and when he did make it there, he ignored the scouts.

Kuroko thought to himself, "There's probably some cave around here, which is where these boarwolves are coming from."

Kuroko walked around for hours, and eventually, he found a small gap in the ground. He just entered the cave without any thought.

"Shit. It's way too dark in here. I should've at least bought the materials to make a torch."

[Luminescence]

Depending on the level of the skill, it will light up a certain area around the user.

"That's… way too convenient. This system feels kind of rigged towards me."

Kuroko gave a slight smile and shrugged it off. He then activated luminescence like he would in a game, and continued to walk into the cave.

"This goes really deep…"

You have entered the hidden dungeon:

"Boarwolves' Cave"

Kuroko sighed, "Well, let's begin our first dungeon then."

Kuroko continued to walk down into the dungeon. Eventually, he came across an entrance into a bigger area. He noticed some bigger looking boarwolves as well.

"Well, time to see what these boarwolves' stats are."

Kuroko looked at the boarwolves, just as he did the scouts, and activated the menu.

Name: Boarwolf Guard

Level: 5

Stats: Strength Lv. 8 - Agility Lv. 5 - Stamina Lv. 6 - Magic Lv. 1

Skills: Boar Rush Lv. 3

Abilities: Guard's Loyalty Lv. 1

"So these ones have an ability and a higher level version of the skills that the scouts had."

Kuroko approached the two boarwolves. And they immediately noticed him. The two boarwolves began to charge Kuroko, but he just dodged one and kicked the other away. Kuroko then dashed at the boarwolf he kicked away, and as it was trying to get up, he decapitated it.

YOU HAVE KILLED 'BOARWOLF GUARD, Lv. 5'!

YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED 15 EXPERIENCE

YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED 8 AURUM

"One down, one to go," Kuroko said coldly.

The other boarwolf blindly charged Kuroko again. Kuroko punched it into the ground, and stabbed its heart with his sword.

YOU HAVE KILLED 'BOARWOLF GUARD, Lv. 5'!

YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED 15 EXPERIENCE

YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED 8 AURUM

"Well, let's continue on," Kuroko said quickly.
