"Ray wake up!"
"I said wake up!"
Despite the harsh shouts that shook his ears, I continued to sleep not wanting to wake up and ignored the shouts that I hear thinking 'I'm already dead anyway.'
"This brat dares to…!!" The man angered that he was ignored lift me up and shakes me awake
I opened my eyes and look at the person who is shaking me.
"Who in the…"
Before I finish me sentence he let go of me causing me to slip to the ground.
Although I catch my self I seemed to have sprained my wrist.
When I looked up I saw a huge, muscular man, with numerous scars throughout his entire body, looking down at me.
The huge man sighed as he grabbed his face with his hands and warned me.
"Its time for you brats to go and start getting money! We're not giving you food and shelter for free! Just because your new here does not excuse you of doing the same amount of job as the rest. Got it!?" said the man as he glared at me.
"Yes, understood."
A weak and young voice that came out of my mouth which surprised me.
As soon as the man heard my answer, he strode out of the room.
After that ordeal I find some time to look around, clutching my swollen arm. Strangely enough it's already started recovering.
'This place looks familiar' I thought as I analyzed my surroundings.
The place I'm currently at is a small rundown room with holes in the walls and a lot of bedsheets that covered that dirty floor. There are about 20 kids staring at me, some with indifference, while the others with hostility. There are also a few adults in the corner of the room that looks like they are monitoring us.
"Heh! Stupid kid. He actually has the gal to continue sleeping even when Allan is here."
"Leave it alone. You know very well that it's not that long since he got here. Not to mention he was working until very late at night."
"Well, it's not my fault he failed to reach his daily quota even though it's only a tenth of what I have to get. Although I wouldn't have to worry about that now"
The adults chatted among themselves like that, while the kids got up and left the room going.
'I remember this place now.'
This was the place that I was staying until it was attacked by the Grand Duke's family, The Scar Gang.
The Scar Gang has a weird way of distinguishing there executives and that is the number of there scars. The more scars they have the higher their position is. Allan has 8 scars meaning he is only below the vice leader and the area leaders.
After confirming where I am currently at, I followed the other kids outside, then I opened my status window.

After checking out my stats I checked what the new titles effects are

Effect

- Grants a random Unique-Class Relic (Currently unavailable)
Note: A title gained by someone who has cleared the final floor of the tower.]
―――――――――――――――――――――
'So that message I received when I was losing my conscience was the wish you'd get after clearing the tower. Although getting the extra job slot and the Unique-Class Relic seems quite late to give.'
'But thanks to that I will be able to achieve my revenge much more quickly, not to mention me still having my Unique skill and the potential to get more of my past skill and gaining a new title that is just as broken as my 'reincarnator' title that makes me the strongest warrior in my previous life.'
I then checked my body's current condition.
A skinny body where you can practically see the bones. I can feel some refined muscles here and there but that's about it. I can't believe I became the strongest warrior with such a flimsy body. It's probably because of the malnourished status effect.
I also need to know how much time I have before this place gets attacked. I approach one of the kids and asked him.
"Hey did anyone cleared the 700th floor yet?"
"Did you hit your head when Allan threw you? No one has been able to clear the 699th floor yet, despite 3 months has passed. Do you really think they'll be able to clear it anytime soon."
"I see, that was a pretty stupid question to ask."
"Just focus on getting your quotas earlier or waking up early instead of asking these stupid questions."
'I have about half a year to escape the slums.'
'But before that I need to get that cloning relic to make sure I kill that bastard next time I get the chance.'
According to my memories the cloning relic is the reward of the hidden dungeon somewhere in the first floor's sewage system.
It originally belonged to the phantom thief. After I and Robert captured him, Robert tortured him to know how he was able to escape him multiple times as well as other stuff he was curious about, after finding out he then killed him and takes the phantom thief's bracelet which has the ability to clone a group of people and hide their presence.
'There is also that achievement of Clearing a dungeon while still being Unawakened that the Phantom Thief said he got after clearing the hidden dungeon Phantom Thief's Tomb'
I could also get some money for killing the monsters in the sewage although it wouldn't give me exp since I'm still Unawakened it's worth the shot.
'Guess that's what I'll be doing now'
I go find Allan and asked him where I can find some weapons saying that I'm going to hunt in the sewers and he gave me a spear that is in a surprisingly good condition, which I'm grateful for.
After that I headed to the sewer and entered it
After entering it, I found myself in a dimly lit corridor. And smelled something horrible.
"Ugh, who or what had died in here!? Is this the reason why hunting in the sewer's not that popular!?"
The stench was so overwhelming that I couldn't help but exclaim.
Putting that aside for now.
"There's no point in hesitating here. I should go ahead and start finding the hidden dungeon as quickly as possible"
As I was exploring the sewer's something just bumped into me.
"This?!"
I was surprised that I didn't noticed the Ratman that's already so close to me. After a short moment I calmed down and immediately used [Analyze] on it.
―――――――――――――――――――――
Race: Lesser Ratman
Level: 5
Weakness:
[???]
Skills:
[Stealth]
[???]
―――――――――――――――――――――
A Lesser Ratman that's level 5 not to mention it has 2 Skills, this is going to be rough.
While I was inferior in terms level, I have the advantage when it comes to stats and experience, the other skill is probably [Poisonous Claw] or [Poisonous Fangs].
Just like how goblins are monsters who specializes in traps, Ratman specializes in poisons.
"KIEEEHK"
The Lesser Ratman immediately lunge at me like a wild beast, slashing it's claws wildly without any thoughts or reason.
"Whoa!"
"Kiee?!
I stepped back dodging its strikes and thrust my spear to counterattack. The Lesser Ratman must not have anticipated a counter, as it took a piercing blow to the face from my spear killing it immediately.
"Well that was disappointing"
It's probably because I have a STR of 16
―――――――――――――――――――――
You have killed a Lesser Ratman
You have gained 50 Exp
You have failed to receive the Exp
You have achieved a great feat.
You have gained the Achievement [First Kill].
You have hunted a monster despite being Unawakened.
Increasing Achievement Effect
[First Kill
Rank: Common
Type: Public
Effect
- Increase a random stat by 1 -> Increase all stat by 1
Note: This title was gained while being Unawakened, increasing it's effect
―――――――――――――――――――――
As I suspected I didn't get any Exp, although what is quite unexpected is that I gained an Achievement. Although I know that hunting a monster will give you the first kill Achievement, but I didn't know its effect would increase just by doing it while being Unawakened.
"Wow how generous, anyways time to take my loots"
I touched the corpse starting the looting process
―――――――――――――――――――――
You have gained Rat Skin
[Rat Skin
Rarity: F
Note: Can be used a material for crafting]
You have gained Rat Skin
[Rat Poisonous Claws
Rarity: F
Note: Can be used a material for crafting, has a trace amount of poison]
―――――――――――――――――――――
'How disappointing' after getting the achievement I thought I'd at least get an item. At this point it's better to just get a bunch of achievement.
'Now that I think about it isn't there a other achievement that I could do now like the 10 kill, 100 kills, rat hunter, rat exterminator, and many more'
'This is a gold mine' I thought
'Well since I don't know where the Phantom Thief's Tomb is I might as well farm some achievements' I then immediately started hunting all the Ratmen in the sewer's first layer since I still have no information on the second layer below apart from the fact that it has poisonous mist starting the the second layer.
