Tomorrow is approaching, and the morning arrives with a sense of déjà vu.
I equip myself with the same gear as last time, but this time, I bring along two knives I had neglected before. A necessary correction. As I stand before the cave entrance, labeled as the beginner dungeon mission, I grip a knife in my hand. The rune marks in the cave catch my eye, and I wonder if there's a lurking werewolf shadow in the vicinity.
"System, didn't I defeat the one guarding this place?"
[This dungeon resets every week. The one you defeated earlier is just a minor obstacle in this dungeon.]
Seriously? Are you kidding me?
"I need to level up. How can I face a lich or something without any physical or skill advantage?"
["Master, you can do it! Just trust."]
Trust? I'm growing weary of this system! I don't want to die here. I need a class! Yes, I should have a class!
"System, what class am I in? I want to register!"
[Master, register that.]
"What!! Is this my class?"
I scream in frustration, but my outburst alerts the keen senses of the werewolf shadow.
I start running, but it vanishes, only to reappear closer to me.
"Wow!" Panic sets in, and all I can think of is running.
"But if I run, it'll chase me! I've already defeated one, why should I face it again?"
I ponder my options.
"Go ahead, try me!"
It comes charging towards me. I know what it's going to do. But then I recall the first rune mark.
"I may not know you, but I know this."
The werewolf shadow leaps at me but lands on the rune mark.
"It slowed down, and I still have the knife!"
I hurl the knife away, but it kills? That's not my luck!
*Low, guttural growls* - it appears shocked when things don't go as expected.
'I forgot that if the enemy is slowed down, they can become stronger.'
I swiftly throw another knife and create distance, repeating the strategy from my initial encounter.
"Huh?!"
I observe the knife embedding itself in its neck, and its eyes silently close. However, unlike in public dungeons, the body doesn't turn into particle light.
I check my status again.
"System, status."
[Level 8]
"System! Status."
Status – Level 8 [3 level points.][monster points: 24,000]
"Then I'll add points. Again, I have 3 points."
STR, - 7 (strength)
DEX, - 6 (flexibility)
CON – 5 (defense)
INT, - 3 (mana capacity)
WIS, - 3 (casting spell)
CHA – 15 (luck) + 3 pts.
Skill: None
Title: Can't be received due to can't connect to the main server.
Buffs:
Beginner's buff 10% all-up stat. -2 years remaining.
Sage blessing 50% experience gain – permanent.
So, after leveling up, 3,000 monster points are added, and I receive 3 level points for each level or more? But i can buy the map for shortcut the mission. Special dungeon for boss.
"Alright, let me continue so I can start and level up quickly!"
This time, I decide to finish it. I create numerous rune marks as I progress.
"But if it resets every week, how can I finish if I'm fighting a new monster every week?"
I don't know how many meters I've covered or where I am, but I keep drawing a map, unsure of what's happening.
"I haven't encountered any enemies. Maybe compared to the public dungeon, it's too vast. If this were the public dungeon, I'd already be on the stairs going to the 2nd floor."
The runes I've drawn serve as markers for my return to the cave entrance.
I continue onward, uncertain of my destination. Eventually, I find myself crouched in a corner.
There, on the stairs, I spot a werewolf. It's looking at me but doesn't approach. but it's nose is twitching...
"Why are you just staring from there?"
Until more werewolves appeared, and I failed to notice one behind me. They were just a few meters away, with three crouching behind me and two more observed on the stairs.
"Wooah!!!!!!"
Fear overwhelmed me, and I fell onto the ground. Unbeknownst to me, fear had caused me to lose control, and tears streamed down my face.
*Growl* *Growl*
They approached slowly, and then...
"wahhh!" my sigmaballs called courage hides deep!
"They disappeared? I need to run away from here!"
I stood up, drawing one of the knives. [Null] [Null]
As I cautiously moved to escape, before I could react, a shadowy figure lunged at me. Its fur blended seamlessly with the darkness, and the impact was swift and powerful. Claws sank into my shoulders, and the hot breath of the werewolf shadow was on my neck. In that heart-stopping moment, time seemed to slow, and the creature enveloped me. [Null] [Null]
'they are just blending to surrounding'
The beginner dungeon echoed with our struggle, a primal dance between predator and prey.
[Error] [Restart-error] [Null] [Reboot-error] [Can't execute-error] [Null] [Null]
[Open-source connected] [Reconnecting to MASTER] [Null] [Null]
"Huh! Huh!" i don't care i need to run! as safe my ass. No one is here but me, no one can save me. i better with the four teammates i had last time. Better to choice to get them here or i join them, better to survival rate.
Holding my shoulder, I continued to run.
[Executing Command - KILL] [UNABLE TO EXECUTE=NULL]
"Ahhhh! No! No!" I felt something hit my neck.
For the first time, fear overwhelmed me. Is this what my mother felt too?
"aaarghhhh!!!!!"
Pain surged through my neck and my entire body. Knees, arms, and more...
"arggghhh!!!"
I didn't hear my mother's scream; she even laughed at me. I didn't expect to feel like this when dying...
I felt my body weak and numb... i'm sleepy.
I'm sleepy! But at the last moment, I saw!
"Ohhhh?! What is that reconnecting?"
"I couldn't feel my arms and one knee and the heat I felt on my neck.
And this is the last moment… this is how I die!

"Argh... hmmmm..." I closed my eyes... I stretched my body.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the beautiful sky.
I closed my eyes... I stretched my body again.
"It is true that the sky is full of clouds! I have to find the mother...?" i got to heaven.
'What the heck? Why am I here in front of the dungeon?'
I examined my body. I couldn't be mistaken; I was unharmed!
"i am alive!" i don't know, but my stop won't stop. i was so shock...
i die... i know i die... but someone save me!
'i was healed?'
Thinking so much, there is only thing i can think of, but impossible.
"System, what happened?! Why am I still alive!"
"Master, you survived!"
"How did I survive?"
"Master, I can't answer your question"
'Is that the law of heaven and earth?'
I fell silent, but I didn't want to recklessly enter the dungeon alone, again! The bites of the ware wolf shadow are so hurt as hell. i also feel my balls got bitten!
"They are still intact!?"
When i see him, my male life is complete.
"i am scared to enter" that happen, is not a joke!
This was the truth... I GOT TRAUMATIZE.
