Extra chapter for today
So are you liking the story...
.....
'Accept.'
The moment I spoke the word in my mind, a message followed.
Ding~!
You've accepted the Class Advancement Quest.
A Dungeon will be created for the quest.
'Just as I expected?'
Before I could do anything, a change occurred in the space in front of me.
wooooong-
A tiny black hole appeared before my eyes, but that was just the start.
woo, wooooong-
The hole that was as small as a bean grew to the size of a coin, then a volleyball, then finally became large enough for a man to enter.
A Gate had formed before my eyes.
'Nice to think that it would even make a Gate… and soon I will be able to do the same…'
The phenomenon in front of me was exactly the same as the Gates that appeared in the world. The only difference was that it was a bit smaller than the one he had seen. The System's message continued, beckoning me in.
Please enter the Dungeon through the Gate.
'Let's be calm. Once this is over you can fuck as much as you want maybe find a way to jump the universe '
I calmed my heart.
Yes.
When I reached that line of thought, an idea appeared in my head,
'Wait… Could other Hunters enter this Gate?'
Well, there was no time to experiment, anyway, they wouldn't most likely be able to enter it.
The System's message blinked as if reminding me,
Ding~!
I was snapped back to reality by the electronic tone. I slapped my cheeks to focus.
'Now's not the time to get distracted.'
I will soon have enough time to think of it, as I plan to do this time quest for days.
Success here would mean obtaining the best class and other rewards. So I had to be focused now.
"Whew-"
After a deep breath, I held Casaka's Poisoned Fang in a reverse grip and entered the Gate.
You've entered the Dungeon.
'Huh?'
To be honest, I had entered the Gate with great anticipation. Contrary to my expectations, there was not much to be surprised about inside. It was just a simple cave Dungeon.
"It's the same as always… and nothing changed with the quest at least look wise?"
A special message did appear, however,
[Ding~
In this place, usage of potions and the shop is restricted, and leveling up will not restore your status.]
I put away the dagger after confirming that there were no magic beasts around and that the dungeon was the same as the story.
'...Looks like this will be easy. It should definitely be after I went through two battles of life and death
Since this was a special Dungeon for class advancement, it seemed that there were a few conditions. The fact that I could not heal myself through potions or level-ups was particularly troubling if this has gone elevated in ranks.
'That means even small damage will accumulate over time.'
An injury would spell the end here. Without means of recovery, I should start learning healing spells. Yes, Regeneration is good but healing spells would have more versatility with not only working on me but also everyone around me.
I closed the message box. As I always did, I checked the exit of the Dungeon.
[Until your class advancement is complete, you cannot leave.]
The moment I placed my hand on the Gate, that message appeared. I put his back into it, but the exit did not budge.
"..."
I retracted my hand.
'So the path to retreat is blocked.'
I knew this yet to figure out the difficulty of the Dungeon. Additionally, I could not recover his health here at least not by outside means of course this does not apply to my regeneration skill. Finally, there was no leaving until he was finished.
The risk this time was very high. Even the bravest of Hunters would hesitate before entering with such conditions.
Well, there was only one way to find out.
'Time to go.'
I began to walk deeper into the cave. I could not see the end of the tunnel and at the same time did not see or sense any magic beasts.
I should also start comprehending and discovering smell with much damage and power and maybe some revival spells. Many anime had pretty Op spells like Overlord, Tensura, Redo of Healer, Black Clover, The Irregular At Magic High School, Index, Re: Zero, Magi, Fairy Tail, and many more.
Especially, Overlord, its magic system has spells for every situation, so with my high Mana pool, nearly two hundred points of intelligence, and with system help, I should start to recreate them.
And this time it will be even easier than the last time, after all, Lesser Dexterity, Lesser Strength
Haste and Penetrate Magic are all spells from Overlord.
And took a hefty amount of time to recreate it, because most of the time I ran out of mana to maintain the spells.
But now it's a different matter when I am nearly touching the walls of EX rank if mana be measured alone,
Now I can maintain them as long as I want with my boosted recovery speed, and even that could go beyond it if I make both Mana skin and Mana Recovery Field in their active state that alone could boost up my mana recovery by 17%.
Which meant that I could regenerate mana faster than I could deplete it. This should be true if I am not throwing meteors around which should instantly drain my mana if not more. Especially the ones that could annihilate countries.
There was no difference in this place compared to what was described in the novel. The cave's walls were decorated with torches, placed evenly across the path.
'Torches instead of glowing rocks. Hmm...'
The torches were not an effective source of light. Even if there were many of them, it was not enough to completely illuminate the dark tunnel. As such, the flickering light produced many shadows here and there. The combination of the shadows and the silence produced a very dreary atmosphere compared to a normal Dungeon.
'Well, I don't have any problems seeing.'
Whatever flaws Overlord had it can't be denied that Overlord is possibly the magic system by the fact that it had spells for every circumstance from summoning both angels and demons and in between both, to spells that could eradicate planets to spells that could create continents. from the instant kill of a person to killing whole species. From a simple revival to reviving the population of the whole continent. And it's not just an end revival as you legitly create life.
So it's a big fact that it is the best world when it comes to magic and I should try to adapt every spell I saw or read in my past life.
Or maybe even travel there after all if this exists why shouldn't everything I ever read?
After all even this world technology is pretty high if you count the year it's just weapons are no match against high-rank monsters and Hunters even a nuke won't do anything against a S-Rank monster, as if they are naturally immune to it.
That's this world, tech didn't become like Cyberpunk Edgerunners and natural beauty still lingers in every corner of the world.
'Wait, could I turn someone like Lucyna Kushinada or even better Cyborg into a Shadow Soldier, if so could he have all the weapons/powers he had when he is alive, and where the line lays,
Could I turn someone Like Ultron, Vision, T-800, or 2B, into Shadow Soldier after all three machines are pretty much alive?
If so then again Where is the line drawn? And it could be done, especially for someone like Ultron who is not one but every Ultron bot is an Ultron.
And if it's possible then what does it mean to be alive with a machine like can I turn someone like Sentinel, (X-Man) into Shadow Soldier after all they are technically not alive they are just programmed to hunt mutants.
If I can't do that then can I just pick a human brain, or copy his consciousness fit /install in a Sentinel then will I be able to turn them into Shadow Soldiers?
If not then can if cyborg or any other people with technological implants could keep their power can I modify humans impacting them with tech and then turning them into Shadow Soldiers like creating Chimera?
If so then how much I could replace before they aren't able to become Shadow Soldiers?
If so then what is the meaning of life or souls, or being alive?
If it's not possible that technology won't come then what about hybrids, I am aware they don't live for long but I also need for them to live long once it's complete kill them and make Shadow Soldiers.
And can the same rules be applied to Golems, yes most of them follow simple commands and can do no more than that, but there are few golems that are alive.
Like Golem Keter Malkuth from Fate, he is a golem who is pretty much alive. And I am sure there are few others out there, it's just I never read about them.
Even though I could see clearly I still like to have my own source so I created a fireball above my hand. The way forward became slightly brighter.
'This is better.'
I smiled in satisfaction. I took a brief look behind me, then started forward again, a fireball in my hand. And start to think again
And what about ghosts and spirits, they are technically dead but somehow could die again which means they should be able to become my minions.
But this time there won't be a body or something that could be called a body.
Again I am stuck with a question,
What are the rules to make someone into a Shadow Soldier?
What are the implications of becoming a Shadow Soldier?
The requirements the needs
These are the fundamental questions that need to be answered so I could use my power in the best way.
Rules are something that I really want to know.'
How long did I walk on this straight path?
After some time, I finally came across a turn. Around the corner, I felt several presences.
'Finally.'
I threw the fireball carefully and "Boom" and the fireball collided with a few of the armors blowing them up.
shoot-
'...They're coming this way.'
I patiently waited for the enemies to come around the corner.
clang, clang
A metallic sound rang while they were walking toward me. The sound came closer and closer.
clang, clang
At the rambunctious sound, Jinwoo wondered,
'What about weapons? I mean what if I don't make a few of them into Shadow Soldier I pick the armor and go out to buy some armored tech like hand cannon wrist blasters and shoulder missiles.
Would they still keep all the modifications when they become Shadow Soldiers?
If not then how about a minor modification like coating them with Carbon nanofibers or even Tantalum, Lutetium, or Tungsten, would it affect their overall durability and strength? '
I was so curious I didn't even care about the upcoming army.
No, it shouldn't work as I am sure Shadow Army could only have powers that they had before they were alive.
So modifying the dead won't affect them or give them power. And because I had to kill every enemy for the class quest to begin and then again kill all the weaves of armor that will come for me to get the best rewards.
Which meant I can't just subdue one and then do the experiment outside.
Well, now I don't have any option rather than hoping I would find creatures like this for my experiments later.
But I should conform to this when I am out.
2, 1
clang, clang.
And just as I was thinking this, their shadows appeared around the corner.
'...0.'
