As Kara left I was still in a calm mind, it seems like my ability makes my mind immune to panic.I was still kinda worried about my family and what will happen if that werewolf captured me, my respawn button had a timer on it last time that said I had to respawn in 10 seconds. I don't want to find out what will happen if I don't.
I called my mom and wasted 20 minutes before she let me go.
Since I couldn't just sit here and worry I decided to check out the new options that were unlocked with level 5.
Basically ''Inventory'' was a panel with 250 slots and every slot had an x99 limit, also I couldn't store living beings and liquid in it, it had to be in some kind of container.(Single-celled organisms don't count.)
And now I can finally check out the ''Dungeon''.
''Please Select Your Difficulty''
''Easy''/''Normal''/''Hard''/''Hell''
I honestly couldn't decide which one I should take, I always played games on the hardest difficulty, barely making it through the last boss, the reason I always cheated after that was just to see those hard-ass bosses be put down by my infinite health and mana, it was the best.
'Hell it is'' They wouldn't put hell in there if the rewards weren't proportional to the risks.
''Chosen Difficulty ''Hell'', 1 minute to enter, please wait''
I waited like the screen said, when I blinked my eyes again I was in some kind of village with a lot of people. I couldn't hide the surprise on my face, when the screen said dungeon this wasn't what I was expecting.
''Hello and welcome to the ''Beginner Dungeon'' I am your guide Reuben Builm, please hold your questions until the end of the tour.'' A muscular looking lizardman was speaking to me, I was confused to the max.
He must have seen the look of surprise on my face and started speaking.
''You must not have inherited your ability from your family since you look so confused, please follow me'' The lizardman started walking so I followed him.

''This is the ''Beginner Village'' you will encounter monsters with levels between 5-30 based on your difficulty, there are shops in the village with equipment for the dungeon since this is your first time here please visit the armor and weapon shops to get your self some gear.'' The lizardman explained while he walked towards 4 seemingly portal things.
''You can enter here and it will teleport you into the dungeon, if you die you can't visit the dungeon for 24 hours so please proceed with caution also the time here will be 4 times faster compared to your home world, alright you can ask your questions now.''
''What is this place?'' I asked while looking at the inhabitants of this village, they ranged from humanoid to a straight up puddle of green liquid sliding.
''This is the ''Beginner Village'' that the old gods created for people with abilities, they can get stronger here without interfering too much with the universe.''
''Are there more places like this?'' I asked since this place was called the beginner village, by logic there should be a veteran village or something.
''Yes but you are not qualified to know that information, so strengthen your ability or if you have the gamer ability level up.'' So I just gotta level up, easy enough.
''What does the difficulty indicate?''
''You get more ''EXP'' and ''Gold'' drops from monsters based on your difficulty but the monsters are that much harder to kill.''
Just as I was going to ask more questions he just started to walk away.
''Where are you going? I thought I could ask more questions''
''Sorry I already did my job the rest is up to you''
'What the hell man, if I knew I could only ask three questions I would have chosen more carefully.'
I tried to stop some more human looking people to ask questions but they just gave me the cold shoulder, why does everybody have to be such dickheads.
Well, it's not like I could miss the shops they were right in front of the huge portals. I went into the weapon shop to get a sword but I don't think they accept human currency here.
''Welcome to my shop young man! Take a look around and tell my apprentice what you want.'' I think that guy was a dwarf, why do they always put dwarfs in weapon shops?
I opened my inventory to look at the stuff I brought with me, it was just some food, water, and a sharp kitchen knife but they will have to do, what I didn't expect was that there was a section called ''Gold'' and it showed N/A.
'Cheats baby'
I only looked at the swords since my class used swords but the good ones all had level restrictions.
I finally found one that was at least somewhat decent.
Enchanted Steel Sword (Rare)
-Reduces stamina consumption by %10
-Enhances attacks done by holding the weapon with two hands
4250 G
'Warning this item will be soul bound and only you can use it'
It seems like the gods don't want me to collapse this villages economy.
It was a good thing the owner put up signs since all my observe did was tell me it was a steel sword. I paid the shop owner by putting my finger in some kind of box and it gave me a notification, telling me that 4250 gold was taken from my inventory.
I went to the other shops and bought a leather armor and 99 health and mana potions.
I was finally ready to go inside the dungeon.
