Entering the dungeon, Li Hao could notice that it was a typical dungeon setting just like in an rpg game. No sunlight, gloomy atmosphere and creepy silence. Knowing that the dungeon belongs to him, he felt that it is almost impossible for him to be hurt by anything here so he decided to quickly survey the whole dungeon.
Okay, this dungeon consists of 3 floors. I assumed that each Lvl represents an equal floor to the dungeon. So I guess I will have 4 floors if I can Lvl up the dungeon if that is possible in the first place....
“System. What is the benefits of being a dungeon lord? Does it help me to spawn monsters as my subordinates?”
[There are many advantages being a dungeon lord. Some advantages cannot be mentioned at current phase. The dungeon allows dungeon lord to spawn monsters with requirements. Being a dungeon lord is to strengthen humanity to adapt to the changes they face when they return.]
I see….so it basically means that it’s a power up for humanity to adapt else they will all die……seems like God is a very fickle being….hating us yet worried about us……I guess I can understand it if I view humans as his creation. Just like how people can cause terrible situations for their parents yet they still love them even though they cane or scold them……makes sense now…. wait…. does it mean that if we are not the first 10 people to return to Earth, we will not possess a dungeon?
“System. What happens to those that returns to Earth after the first 10? Will they not be able to own a dungeon?”
[Those that return after the first 10 will not own a dungeon. However, they can acquire a dungeon by clearing a dungeon. After clearing it, they can own a Lvl 0 dungeon. ]
“How does one Lvl up the dungeon?”
[You can Lvl up a dungeon by killing excess monsters after attaining required kills for spawning the species of that monster. It is known as Monster points. Monster points can be used to spawn additional monsters of unlocked species, raising Lvl of dungeon, trading for items and many other uses.]
Seems like there are still many things I don’t know about the dungeon….. but I can roughly understand how it works…it makes sense that if I just kill the required points but not the required kill of the monster, I can’t summon it else people would be killing weak monsters constantly to spawn a dragon or something…. that would be broken….
Right! I almost forgotten that the other presents for completing hard mode…let’s check it out….I got a dagger a leathered armour….3 vials of potion and a 5 gold coins. I guess it’s logical as they don’t expect humans to fight the monsters bare-handed right? I guess those that cleared the trial would be able to kill a mutant dog even being bare handed so…. I guess it’s fine either way?
Okay let’s go kill some monsters and take advantage of being the first else it’s too hurting to waste the time rewarded to me after clearing the gruelling 1 year.
Walking out of his empty dungeon, he received a notification.
[Does user want to hide the dungeon? Yes or no?]
Knowing that his 3 floored dungeon building is very ‘outstanding’, he knew that it would invoke jealousy and hatred from others and would cause great trouble to him, he agreed.
The ground started to shake loudly as Li Hao could see that the magnificent building started to sink down like how building sunk during an earthquake. Few minutes later, it seemed as if the whole dungeon didn’t exist in the beginning.
Finally moving, Li Hao noticed that there are places where he remembered but also places he never saw before in his whole 18 years living in the city. There are many forests near the other end of where his dungeon is supposed to be at. Thinking for a second, he headed straight towards the forest.
Upon reaching the forest, Li Hao could finally display his skills that he learnt through the 1 year of suffering. Moving through the forest swiftly, he soon spotted his first prey on Earth. However, being cautious as usual, he checked the name and Lvl of the monster as things might be different on Earth.
[Lvl 0 Mutant Wolf]
Strange.….how come the wolf is weaker than those on planet Jaive? Is it because Earth just evolved so the Lvl of monsters have yet to developed to its normal Lvl? Doesn’t that meant it’s killing spree for free Lvls now? Oh god I even have 1 full day to monopolise the situation that would be impossible after all the humans returns....this 1 day is really worth the sufferings….

Finishing his thoughts, Li Hao approached the wolf carefully, worried alarming the wolf, as wolfs has a great perception towards dangers so he got to kill it in one shot to avoid it calling for it’s companions.
With a swift motion, he struck the wolf with the dagger from the wolf’s blind spot. Realising it was being attacked, the wolf was prepared to roar out to call for its companion however, it was silenced by the human predator when he silently stabbed it once again in its throat.
[1/5 kill completed to spawn Mutant Wolf]
Highly anticipating his new yet to spawn partner, Li Hao raised his speed to kill solitary wolfs as he knew that the current him would be torn to pieces if he were to charge into a pack of wolves.
[5/5 kill completed to spawn Mutant Wolf. Mutant Wolfs are able to spawn in dungeon now. Do you want to spawn a Mutant wolf? Yes or no?]
Of course yes….why else have I been wasting my time on other than having Lvled up once and receiving wolf fangs. Accepting, the wolf was successfully spawned in the dungeon.
[User skill: Summon, is able to use now.]
Sensing the timing that his skill Summon which never did unlock in his 1 year of training, he knew that this skill must have relation to dungeon skill which was mentioned to him as being a godly skill which appeared only in 1 out of 1 billion in the population naturally while being auctioned for billions of gold as the rate of dropping such skill book is close to impossible unless their Luck stat, which required a unique condition to be triggered, is very high.
Li Hao silently said Summon as he knew that all skills that are god given or godly skill can be used without speaking. A wolf identical to the very first mutant wolf he killed appeared out of the air. Feeling a trace of familiarity with this wolf, he knew this Mutant wolf is his very first buddy in this world. Curious about the stats of the wolf, Li Hao use identify to see his new partner.
Name: Mutant Wolf (summoned being/ dungeon monster ***can only be viewed by owner)
Level:0 (limit:20)
Race: Wolf
Health: 26/26 Mana: 6/6
Strength: 8 Stamina: 10 Agility: 10 Intelligence: 4
Wisdom:4
Skill: Bite, Claw, Roar
Bite: Physical skill that uses its deadly fangs to bite down on target.
Claw: Physical skill that uses its claw to claw the target.
Roar: Call out companions or to intimidate foes.
Damn…..my buddy seems even stronger than me even though its Lvl 0. It even has 3 skills. I can just imagine how many skills those stronger Lvl monsters has and how high their stats are. If not for them being dumb, I can say that humanity will collapse within 3 years of war just by crushing us with overwhelming sheer numbers instead of waiting for us to kill them and get stronger than them.
“Okay buddy let’s go ahead to kill some monsters to gauge your combat prowess.”
Seemingly understood its master’s command it followed Li Hao to kill his race with a sharp glint in its eye which tells others that his master’s command must be followed.
After teaming up with his wolf, the efficiency of the killing sped up like a meteor. Killing over 20 wolfs, Li Hao lvled up to Lvl 3 while his buddy wolf lvled to Lvl 2. It seemed that those wolfs are now and easy target for him, Li Hao went deeper into the forest where he noticed a new species, Goblins.
Not knowing where this race popped out of, it was termed as monster species instead of mutant species however, there is not much difference between them and the mutant species like how they treat humans as food except monster species can possess intelligence if they were high Lvl or superior species.
Feeling slightly curious about getting a goblin subordinate to help assist him in controlling a pack of spawn wolfs, Li Hao quickly approached the group of goblins quietly with his wolf.
However, different from before, Li Hao followed the group of goblins for over half an hour and when he was deciding whether he made a mistake or not, he noticed in front of those goblins, there was a group of buildings which resembled shacks.
Li Hao felt it was a right choice to follow the goblins to their village as the common knowledge in planet Jaive was that all goblins stay together to protect themselves from predators. Also, the key point is that in every village, there would definitely be a treasure chest which the goblins treat as a shrine as goblins are greedy monsters that seek wealth along with killings. It was not known how those treasure boxes appeared in goblin villages however, it was guaranteed that one would receive a weapon or armour of the lowest quality when one opens it.
Being excited about opening his first treasure chest, Li Hao was tempted to attack the goblin village but he was concerned by the number of goblins in the village. Thus, after a round of careful inspection, he found out that there was 4 shacks and it can be estimated to be around 16 goblins.
Li Hao felt that it was simply too risky to approach the goblins with only him and his wolf. After making up a plan, Li Hao soon made use of his partner wolf to attract the goblins by acting as if it was heavily wounded.
As goblins are greedy, they would seize evert opportunities given to them so long as they do not feel threatened of their life. Spotting a wolf that seemed to be afraid of it, the goblin roared at the wolf and noticed that the trembling of the wolf which confirmed its suspicion that the wolf truly felt fear towards the goblin, it charged towards the wolf, alone. Seeing that his baiting worked, Li Hao called back his wolf and launched his attack towards the goblin by landing on the goblin from the tree that his wolf passed by. As goblins are small in size, it was crushed to death.
[1/5 kill completed to spawn Basic Goblin]
Sticking to his plan, Li Hao continued to hunt down the goblins one by one.
[5/5 kill completed to spawn Basic Goblin. Basic Goblins are able to spawn in dungeon now. Do you want to spawn a Basic Goblin? Yes or no?]]
Soon a goblin stepped out of thin air and it bowed down to Li Hao. Following Li Hao, they wiped clean of the goblins when his goblin infiltrated the village and silently killed the other goblins in their shacks when they were sleeping.
Knowing that his subordinate helped fasten his plan by a few hours, he approached the shrine in one of the shack and claimed the treasure chest.
