While the sun shone on the ass of Mike he woke up by hearing a couple saying a sentence to their children : "Always train hard in school , even if you are a melee fighter don't give up . See that person ? He sleeps on the street because he doesn't work hard ."
Sneering in his mind Mike taunted : "This society sucks , i lived a normal school life and killed my way through the dungeons for more than one month . And they dare to say that i am lazy ?"
Sighing he scratched his butt while ignoring the people who looked at him with disgust .
At first he didn't do private stuff in public , after all he still was one of the innocent people . However after experiencing dungeons and living for more than 1 month on the street he felt that it really didn't matter how people look at you .
You look at me with disgust cause i am scratching my buff in public ? Hey there are monsters in the dungeons whom i try to kill alone . ALONE !
Not only that , Mike have nobody to rely on . No lover , no relatives . Even his best and only true friend disappeared to a ranged scholarship .
The rest of the people he knew fought with their parents .
After sighing Mike looked at the floating panel in front of him . If he didn't have such a good luck in the raid he probably would still live on the street .
However it seemed that people would offer apartments or even houses in precious locations .
Rubbing his hands Mike looked at the list of the final offers .
Giggling like a madman caused him to earn more looks , however he didn't cared .
Raising his arms he howled a victory cry before thinking what items would the people offer him for the final auction ?
In the forum :
- : The second auction may start . Please offer a list with the items you want to exchange . I will eliminate 5 people after the first round and one after another . Chat is hereby opened .
After 5 minutes the list of items changed :
1. Melee Wolf Set + 5 Skill Books by choice + A House on the roof of skyscraper B (+0)
2. Melee Wolf Set + 4 Skill Books by choice + An apartment in the luxus street (+0)
3. Melee Wolf Set + 4 Skill Books by choice + A House + apartment in urban areas + (1000 points)
4. Melee Wolf Set + 1 Skill by choice Books + a House in the luxus street (+ Catcha Pet Slot)
5. Melee Wolf Set + Skill Book : HP Sharing (+ Skill Book : Support Aura)
6. Melee Wolf set + 3 Skill Books (+ 0)
7. Northern Weapon Set(Shield+Sword) + 3 Skill books (+ Melee Wolf Set)
8. 2 Apartmens in urban areas + 5 Skill Books (+1 apartment + 1 enhanced weapon)
9. 10 skill books + 2 Skill Books by choice (+20 Skill books + two enhanced weapons)
10. 30 Skill Books + An enhanced Spear (+20 skill books + an apartment)
Thinking for a while Mike deleted 8 , 9 , 10 , as well as 6 .
Frowning upon which number he should eliminate next Mike decided to change the rules from 5 to 4 .
Naturally he could do this since he is the one who is the auctioneer .
The third round followed :
1. Melee Wolf Set + 5 Skill Books by choice + A House on the roof of skyscraper B (+0) (+0)
2. Melee Wolf Set + 4 Skill Books by choice + An apartment in the luxus street (+0) (+0)
3. Melee Wolf Set + 4 Skill Books by choice + A House + apartment in urban areas + (1000 points) (+0)
4. Melee Wolf Set + 1 Skill by choice Books + a House in the luxus street (+ Catcha Pet Slot) (+0)
5. Melee Wolf Set + Skill Book : HP Sharing (+ Skill Book : Support Aura) (+0)
6. Northern Weapon Set(Shield+Sword) + 3 Skill books (+ Melee Wolf Set) (+1 skill book by choice)
Eliminating 3 and 5 to make up for one round he waited for the 4 round to start .
What he didn't know was that in this one moment somewhere people analized his behaviour :
"He eliminated the person who put up 2 lodging , it seems he only need one lodging and that should be a good one . It seems like it is one of those homeless guys who got lucky ." spoke a female secretary .
"Homeless or not , it seems like he is melee . Thus no need to gift him any protection talisman . Don't increase the rate of skill books , he seems to know that quantity on a single person won't increase his power . Instead he wants quality ." spoke an old man while caressing his beard .
"I have to have this necklace . My granddaughter already has the other parts ." added the old man in a low voice before looking at the auction again .
Suddenly he spoke : "Add the house in the luxury street as well and delete the house at the skyscraper . Even though the view of the skyscraper is amazing it is quite useless and the house is more for relaxing ."
The 4 and 5 round passed with nobody of the raising the price , after all it is possible to leave the auction in this way .
Causing Mike to delete 3 and 5 . In the end Mike could only delete 2 before moving on the last rounds .
Just as the last three offered their lists suddenly an item changed :
1. Melee Wolf Set + 5 Skill Books by choice + a House in the luxus street + 5 skill books of choice
2. Melee Wolf Set + 1 Skill by choice Books + - Gone - (+ Catcha Pet Slot) + (5000) points)
3. Northern Weapon Set(Shield+Sword) + 3 Skill books (+ Melee Wolf Set) (+3 skill book by choice)
With surprise Mike looked at the item change from 1 and 2 . He already heard of people changing the items , however the value had to remain the same or topple the thing from before . Though the melee wolf set couldn't be changed since Mike wanted it to remain .
Now Mike felt that the choice felt pretty easy , he eliminated candidate 2 while moving on to the final round .
Somewhere in a mansion :
"Argh , how could it be ? Does that mean that grandfather took away the house or sold it ?" shouted Merle in a loud voice .
While cursing Merle could only watch how the system kicked her out .
Meanwhile Mike grinned , he chosed candidate one after nobody offered more . After all he needed a lodging to get a base for his future plan .
If Mike didn't have the experience on the street this story would be over . Living in good house , getting a partner for the rest of his life and settle down . Doing some dungeon runs with friends and living off his little life .
But he realized that power is something necessary to survive . The house he earned today can be taken away in an instance .
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Didn't he lived on the street because he lacked power ? After all as a melee he couldn't fight a ranged .
After the transaction finished he moved to his new house .
Nothing specular happened , Mike got his payment and the one got the necklace .
After visiting the house in the luxus street Mike smiled like an idiot . Thats a jackpot !
Not only does the luxus street have an service to get all the food , it even has its own dungeon portal .
Arriving in front of the street Mike felt a little bit disappointed , nothing was different from a normal suburb . The only difference was as gate with guards at the entrance .
Without any troubles Mike towards his house . Two floors with a basement . A garden the size of an football field surrounded by walls .
Surprisingly a dungeon portal existed in the basement .
The next few days nothing special happened , Mike filled his house with food and normal stuff like bed , television etc.
He finished after a week .
Looking at his status Mike held the 10 coupons for a skill book by choice . Naturally , he already equipped the wolf set .
[ Mike Lv 2 ]
HP 20500 ((450+1600)*10) / 20500 ((450+1600)*10)
Defense 1720
STR: 129 AGI: 144 (44+100) VIT: 143 Body : 115
Strong Body : +400 HP
Mortal Madness : +10% missing HP to STR and AGI
Path of Cleasing(0/5): Temper your Skin
Trait of Bear : ' - '
With a evil laugh he looked at the amound of HP he got . More than 20k Health ! Doesn't that mean he is able to survive about 200 bullets ? With each of them piercing his body !
Looking at the amount he taunted his future enemys with a sneer : "Look at me ! Even if i can't kill my enemys at least they can't kill me if a want to run !"
However Mike still pondered about the Defense stat , does it give damage reduction ? Then is it percentage or points ? Or does it only represent the power of his equipment ? But some equipment doesn't have defense , does this mean that they have no power value ?
Pondering for a while Mike dismissed the defense stat , later he will search for an equipment guide on gaia . After all there is something more important than that right now : Choosing 10 skill books !
However he soon realized that in truth one wouldn't get 10 skill books by choice . Instead each skill book represented a coupon with the value of one normal skill book .
He even found a list with all the common ones , the mortal madness he got due from an mutation is catogorized as a lesser skill books . Thus making it a skill that needs to have 20 of its kind to trade with a normal one .
After reading a few articles he glared at the coupons , not idear whether he should curse of them or love them .
It seems like that these coupons are used by the alliance to prevent the point usage .
Since if the entire world would only have one currency , doesn't that mean that the one producing it , fighters or strong people would be the richest ?
So the government decided to implement secondary currency .
There was even a shop to use the coupons .
Searching for a while Mike decided to buy a weaker rare skill . After all his 10 coupons couldn't be able to buy an ultra mighty skill book .
The skill couldn't be called weak . However its a defence one .
Logically one would deem the defense skills as more precious , however the skill is called absolute defense which reduces every damage taken by 8% .
It sounds amazing , doesn't it ?
Comparing it to the other skill books he could buy Mike felt that this absolute defense shouldn't be priced so low . After all he saw a skill which gave 100 defense permanent selling for 300 coupons !
After learning it Mike frowned upon his damage output . It should be around 200 per hit with a normal sword . If he's able to hit weak points it may even rise of 1k or 2k .
The solution ? Naturally browse in gaia for melee weapons !
(AN: Gaia is like the internet , you can find everything you need but there are a lot of weird things floating around)
Two days passed before he found his fated dungeon .
Lowermost Wrath Pawn (1-144) - Guide By Morose
Morose :
Hi Guys ,
even though this dungeon is popular its quite hard for many to defeat the dungen boss and get the rewards .
First of all this isn't a raid dungeon , so the maximum persons joining is 20 .
Furthermore its advised to bring 15 melee and less than 5 ranged . To say it bluntly , mages with aoe damage are crap , you are in a labyrinth and the spell can massacre your entire party . However its good to have a single mages in case of emergency , rest should be single damage dealers .
The rest should be easy , kite the groups in the floors which are quite big and wide . If there is a hord then use your emergency wizard to throw his spell and everything should be fine .
Boss should be defeated with extreme care , he is a skeleton knight with a shield , armor and lance .
He is fighting alone , however is immune against light and most magic so physical damage is the way to go !
His drops are quite amazing , one of the most precious jewels for wizards drops here . Though its quite rare . Well , since describing them is utter bullshit , i will just post the stats .
[ Wizards Jewel ]
[ + 500% Manapool + 500C% Mana Regen]
[ Lance of Knight ] Weight : 350 kg
[ 300-3000 Damage ]
[ Stabbing Speed + 100% ]
[ 200 Defense Penetration ]
[ Shield of Knight ] Weight : 2,7 tons
[ 500 Defense ]
[ 50k Defense at Block ]
[ Knights Will : Blockstance with 300k Defense + -2k Recoil ]
Looking at the weight with pure shock Mike felt that his strength is quite puny .
Though he would be able to hold the lance with one Hand , he isn't sure if he could carry the shield with his left arm . After all he could only carry about 1.3k kg with both of this hands . How could he lift the double amount with only one hand ?
However he suddenly remembered one of the Wolf sets traits , able to carry heavier weapons !
Smiling Mike searched a group for Lowermost Wrath Pawn , because of him not being a newbie he soon found a group with 2 tanks , 11 warriors , 2 melee damage dealer , 1 ranged and surprisingly a support .
After sending an application to the group , which is called Black cat , Mike decided to train a little bit and get used to the battle mode of his equipment .
At first he believed that equipment would be like normal clothes , he has to wear it . However he soon realized that the equipment kind disappeared if worn in peaceful situations . Naturally he could summon it , but the wolf armor has a wolf head as the helmet , thus Mikes face is covered , only allowing his eyes luriking out from the jaw of the wolf .
Looking in a mirror Mike could see a man wearing a wolf head , his body wearing a weird fure plate which weighted not less than iron . Teeths of different sizes hand around the necklace of the man .
The most beautiful thing is a coat made out of white wolf fure hanging behind his shoulders .
Finishing his admiration he started to do squats , swinging his beginner sword around , as well as punching into the air .
Soon the reply from Black Cat came back , they approved him and wanted to go into the dungeon pretty soon . The day would be tomorrow .
Wondering about the fact that there is no test time Mike signed the non-violent treaty and prepared himself for tomorrow .
Activating the Wolf set he used the dungeon portal in his basement , a banzai for whomever build a portal in this house !
What greeted him was an empty waiting room with nothing but a light in the middle of the room .
Sitting on the ground he waited for the members of black cat to appear .
After a while they appeared , 5 middle aged man , 5 womans who are certainly the wives of the 5 mans and 6 youths or children .
One of the middle aged man with brown hairs and a brown beard stepped forward while greeting Mike : "Hi , are you ready to clear a dungeon ?"
Mike just nodded while standing up . Taking out his weapon he gestured that he is ready .
"I would never believe that our small group would attract a true warrior , he doesn't talk much . Did he lost his family due an accident ? After all his equipment is quite high . Though i don't know what set he uses .
Anna , my wife told me that its irresponsible to invite another member of our member when we have such an good balance nowadays . However , didn't i got a helping hand when i was in need ? After all i swore to myself to be a litte bit like commander Hilkens .
Not only that , i believe that even if he is a leecher who only goes into groups to get free loot , we would be able to endure it for one run and then kick him out .
Though i don't know how Marcus or the others would react , after all they take their little boys/daughter with them . Now , that i am able to look at him , i can only say one thing : I don't regret it . He looks strong and i believe that he has potential . Maybe he can even act as the 3th tank for our group ?
Meh ... I don't believe so , but how long has it been ? 20 Years ? No , probably only 18 . Looking at my daughter growing is quite the happy thing , now my only problem is how to find a good husband for her ? I won't let my daughter marry a good for nothing when she awakened such a rare support ability ! She is the pride of my family . I have to keep an eye on the little boy of Marcus .... he seems to eyeing my precious Tania !
Well , what am i thinking ? Why do i feel so melancholy ? Doesn't matter , let's sweep this dungeon in one go and then go home to eat a meal cooked by my lovely wife Anna !
