<Ding! Congratulations, host, for breaking through to two-star knight.>

<Limits on the parameters are lifted.>

<New quest [Explore a dungeon] generated.>

<New quest [Kill 5 two-star monsters] generated.>

"Huff, huff. That was a good one."

Looking at my sweaty and disheveled appearance of mine in front of the mirror inside the bathroom, I mumbled.

"Albeit, it was not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be."

Of course, as a detailed RPG game, there were several methods to break through.

Firstly, you could use the assistance of alchemy and magic products to fasten your breakthrough. This method is the easiest and fastest one, and it is pretty common to use.

However, this method comes with a slight setback. In the future, it will be harder for a person to break through. Simply you are sacrificing your limit of growth to grow faster.

Secondly, you could just break through naturally. This is, of course, not as comfortable as the first one, but it is still pretty passable.

Thirdly, you can use external materials to delay the process of your refining. This method is not commonly used because it is both hard to discover and materials are hard to find as well.

In the first place, aside from some people who are obsessed with getting stronger like me, there is no reason to go for such a method, so this method is not even discovered for now.

/SPILL/ /FLICK/

After spilling the burnable liquid into the impurities that smelled so bad, with a flick of my fingers, I ignited the liquid, making it burn.

After that, I cleaned myself thoroughly and went to bed. Early in the morning, I will check my new increased strength.

-------------------------

Looking at the system panel, there was a faint smile on my face.

'Hmm, as expected, because my knight rank was low, the growth of my body was limited.

Thinking that, I started checking the quests that appeared.

'Hmm, I was already planning to explore all the dungeons I remember around. Albeit, time to leave this city is coming closer and closer.'

Thinking that I drifted to sleep not long after.

***

Waking up early in the morning with excitement all over myself to test my new strength, I immediately left my room.

With thick clothes, I reached the same place I had been using for the past week to train.

An open area circled with trees.

And a boulder to use as a training dummy.

Now, when I talk about my newfound strength, I don't necessarily mean my physical strength. It is the density of my aura.

"Huff."

Slowly exhaling my breath, I started covering my body with an aura.

Feeling the strength in my body increase, I especially the compressed aura around my legs.

/SWOOSH/

And bolted towards my front.

'Wow, this speed…. It is something else.'

I thought with a smile on my face.

'Although it is hard to control it.'

And just like that, I kept familiarizing myself with my newly ranked up strength.

***

After returning from the morning training, taking a shower, and eating a normal breakfast, I left the room as usual around morning and reached the guild.

As usual, since it was still fairly early in the morning, there weren't many adventurers inside the building.

Since I am quite a loner, I am not associating myself with others, and they are not associating with me either, albeit there are some women stealing some glances from time to time.

Slowly making my way to Jane's desk, she greeted me.

"Good morning, Callius."

"Yo."

"Did you need something?"

'Without wasting any time, huh? It seems you want to finish your shift soon.'

Looking at the hickey on Jane's neck, I thought.

"I was looking for a dungeon to explore. Anything close by?"

"Hmm, will you be alone, or will you party?"

"I won't party."

"If that is the case, you probably want an E-rank dungeon."

"Yes."

"Then, there are three newly opened gates all around the city. I will give you their locations of them; you can check if you want."

"Hmm. But Jane, make sure to cover the mark, okay? Those guys will go crazy if you don't."

Saying that I signaled the approaching guys behind with a teasing smile.

"Humph, let's see if they can do something."

Making a crushing motion with her hands, she said with a slightly chilly tone.

"But I don't mind if you go crazy~."

And then she followed.

"Well, I bet you will."

"Is that an invitation, then?"

"Who knows? Maybe?"

Saying that I left the desk with a slight smile.

Although I am not some sort of horny beast who always thinks with his lower body, from time to time, releasing stress is also important.

Albeit, I can't say this for those guys coming.

Looking at the expression on the face of the guy in front, a smirk leaked out from my mouth.

"Is something funny?"

"Hmm, you can say so."

Albeit, I don't want to waste too much time dealing with those guys, and they can't make a scene either.

/GRAB/

Albeit, of course, there will always be people who don't know how to behave.

"Where do you think you are going?"

"Take your hand. I will let this slide since I am in a good mood."

"What if I don't?"

"What if you don't?"

Asking this, I turned my face to my back, activating my [All Seeing Eye].

Name – Sam Perez

Age – 18

Class – Swordsman

Mage Rank – 1-star

Knight Rank – 3-star

Attributes – Fire

At the age of 18, he is still 3-star, pathetic.

"If you don't, then this will happen."

/FLICK/ /FLINCH/

First, I compressed the lightning particles all around his body using my authority, and with a flick of my hand, I shocked him for a second, making him paralyzed for a moment.

"Now, please excuse me."

And saying that, I left the guild.

Since I didn't injure him or anything, the guards didn't do anything either.

Albeit, this probably won't end there just like that. I have no problem with teaching some dogs a lesson, either.

Holding a map in front of me, I headed to the closest dungeon gate, calling Night with my soul bound.

***

Dungeons.

They are separated dimensions, each containing its own environment inside as well as its own inhabitants.

A pretty cliché novel troupe. And this is used by the developers as well.

And, right now, I am in front of one.

A portal looking a little ominous with blue color….

It was pretty close to the city, so I didn't waste too much time.

Albeit, of course, I am not the only person in this place since dungeons are pretty big in general.

"Hello, is there anyone wanting to join our party?"

"Hello, do you need a mage?"

"I am looking for a party!"

"Map of the interior is out! You can buy it at ten thousand Aeria."

"Potions here! Anyone who wants to potions, we are on sale!"

Looking at the slightly crowded place in front of me, I now understood why those quests related to the wilderness were not that common.

In the first place, everyone is here.

'Hmm, in the game, I never paid attention to the NPCs around, but now that I think about it, the wilderness being mostly empty makes sense. That must be because of dungeons.'

Since you don't need to walk too much in the dungeon, just like in the wilderness.

Ignoring others and making my way to the entrance, I showed the ID card to the man checking the people who entered.

After that, it was now time to step up into the dungeon for the first time.

Immediately after stepping up, I felt like the whole world was spinning, making a nauseous feeling arise in my body.

Albeit, that was for a moment.

Opening my eyes, the environment I saw was a lot different from the outside.

A forest with very long trees.

An ominous feeling surrounds me all around.

'Hmm, certainly, it lives up to its name. A dungeon.'

Albeit, I was not scared.

Slowly starting walking, I gulped a potion I had made beforehand.

'Feline potion, increasing the sight in the darkness.'

With my eyes wide open, searching for signs of monsters, I dived deeper into the dungeon.

/SCREECH/

And not long after, the first attack came….
