Everything inside this Luminous Cave was hidden behind the darkness, including the layout.
Normally, no human should be able to see in total darkness unless their eyes adjust, but that would take a while.
“Which part of this place is ‘Luminous’?”
Yin Xian, however, did not care about such things and walked with unwavering steps. Each step he took was firm and quick, giving off the impression that he knew where he was stepping with full confidence.
Suddenly, he stopped walking.
In front of him were two glowing orbs, both hovering in the air, slowly moving up and down.
Yin Xian’s eyes widened at the sight--- not because he was scared, but because he was delighted.
“Finally, something to vent my anger on!”
He stomped the ground, shooting himself at the red orbs like a spear.
“?!?!"
The size of the two red orbs widened with shock and bewilderment. Never in its wildest imagination did it think that a human could be so fast. However, before it could even react, Yin Xian had already disappeared from its view.
“This is for forcing such a stupid name onto me!”
*Slap*
Literally, a second later, the sound of meat getting slapped echoed in the cave, followed by what sounded like slush splattering on the floor.
The monster with the glowing red eyes did not even have time to think about what had happened and died a horrible death. If its remainings could speak, then it would have definitely cried for justice.
The smell of blood quickly entered Yin Xian's nose.
[You have killed a Luminous Bat and gained Experience]
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
Maybe it was due to the smell of blood, or maybe it was because of Yin Xian’s loud voice, but the beasts of this dungeon were running towards him.
Soon, a few more pairs of floating red orbs entered his view.
“You want some, too? Good! I happen to have a lot of things to rant about today!”
“How dare you name me ‘Little Brat’?!”
*Slap*
[You have killed a Luminous Bat and gained Experience]
“Who do you think I am?!”
*Slap*
[You have killed a Luminous Bat and gained Experience]
“How can you give a level 1 an impossible-to-complete quest?!”
*Slap*
[You have killed a Powerful Luminous Bat and gained Experience]
“What kind of NPC gives you false information for a quest?!”
*Slap*

“Why are the NPCs in this game so unreasonable?!”
*Slap*

[You have leveled up]
[You are now Level 2]
[You have unlocked the Monster Compendium]
[Luminous Bat has been added to the Monster Compendium]
As soon as all of the Luminous Bats were dead, yellow glowing orbs started appearing in the distance. And just like the Luminous Bats, these beasts ran at Yin Xian with eyes that radiated killing intent.
However, no matter what color their eyes were, the same thing would happen.
“Why do I have to use my real face?!”
*Slap*
[You have killed a Powerful Yellow-Eyed Boar and gained Experience]
“What is wrong with this game?!”
*Slap*
[You have killed a Powerful Yellow-Eyed Boar and gained Experience]
The slapping sound continued to echo in the cave. It was so consistent that even the beasts grew accustomed to it.
-Ten minutes later-
Without anymore slapping noises or shouting, the cave was now dead silent.
Yin Xian has no idea how much beast he had killed during those ten minutes, but he felt a lot better after venting out his anger.
“Ahem-- I have gone overboard as such a disgraceful character is not fit for someone as noble as myself…”
He continued walking deeper into the cave, but unsurprisingly, no more beasts showed itself.
“Did I already clear the dungeon? If not, then what about the boss? If this is really a dungeon, then there will definitely be a boss somewhere in here.”
Since there was nothing else to do, he decided to check his status.
[Lv. 4] [{Spoiled} Little Brat]
[Legacy: N/A]
[Achievement Points: 11]
“I killed so many beasts that had a higher level than me, yet I am only Lv. 4? How ridiculous is the grind in this game?”
“Monster Compendium!”
[Number of Entries: 3]
[Giant Red Ants]
[Luminous Bat]
[Yellow-Eyed Boar]
Upon focusing on Luminous Bats, another window similar to his character window showed up. In the middle of the window was a bat--- a blue-colored bat with glowing red eyes. And instead of boxes, there were texts.
[Luminous Bat] [Grade: Common ~ Powerful]
[Level Ranges: 6 ~ 9] [Nature: Hasty]
[Luminous Bat is a blue-skinned flying-type beast with glowing red eyes. While it lacks in strength, its extreme speed makes up for it. These creatures live in abundance in caves and are common encounters]
[Drops: Unknown]
“Now that I think about it… There was not a single drop from all those kills…”
Yin Xian wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Is he going to finish this dungeon without a single drop? No, there was still the boss. He still has a chance at obtaining something before leaving this place!
After walking for another ten minutes without encountering a single monster, Yin Xian was convinced that he had cleared out the entire dungeon--- the mobs, at least. The boss, however, was still nowhere to be seen.
“Hm?” For the first time since he entered this dungeon, there was light, and it was at what seemed like to end of this cave.
Picking up his pace, he soon arrived inside a spacious room. The temperature inside this room was pretty chilly. And at the middle of this spacious room was a palm-sized puddle of water that glowed blue.
This empty room looked safe at first glance, but Yin Xian knew better than that.
He waited and waited, but nothing happened.
No boss, nothing; this place was too silent and calming.
Suddenly, a childish voice resounded in the room.
“What are you waiting for? Did you not come here for my Luminous Water?” The voice was gentle yet cold at the same time, and it came from his behind.
Yin Xian calmly turned around, and there was a child standing by the entrance.
This child had long, aquatic-blue hair. Her childish face was beautiful and delicate-- almost at the level of the Angel during his character creation. And just like the Luminous Water, her cyan-colored eyes were slightly glowing.
“Are you the boss of this place?”
Although his voice was gentle, his eyes were not. Even if it had the appearance of a child, as long as it was the boss of this dungeon, he would have no qualms about killing it.
