Chapter 17 - Mask.

Chapter 17 - Mask.

"The number of Likes keeps increasing. But I should let it accumulate to buy better stuff. Now should I go there?" Lukas wanted to try, at least.

Now that he had increased his Strength and Agility Ranks and had gotten a new weapon and skills, he believed he could at least have a fair fight against that tiger.

Is that possible?

Even if Lukas wanted to believe it, he was not very confident.

"Damn, I'm nervous..." Lukas walked slowly toward the place where the tiger was. He was so nervous that his steps were slow, and he began to ignore everything around him. Even if a goblin approached to attack him, he would not notice.

However, his concentration was broken.

"Hm?" A strange feeling. It was the feeling that something bad was happening.

Lukas couldn't hear or see anything strange. But he felt that something was wrong. By instinct, he began to walk the other way.

His steps increased in speed.

"It changed?" Arriving at the same place he was before, Lukas realized that the dungeon's structure had changed. More paths appeared.

BOOM~~~

Just then, he heard an explosion in the distance. The cave floor shook a little, and Lukas leaned on the wall. "What's that? Is that the tiger? No, it's on the opposite side. It's this way."

Lukas moved forward quickly; his leg then began to hurt.

"Was it because of that?" Lukas remembered when the stalactite cut deep into his leg. He wasn't feeling any pain because of the adrenaline, but now the pain finally began to bother him.

However, he could still move. Lukas gritted his teeth and moved on.

After about ten minutes, Lukas began to hear some sounds. It was the sound of goblins and also some voices. The smell of rotten blood was also unbearable. Lukas didn't enter the battle; he just watched from afar.

It was a large corridor, already filled with goblins' bodies. In the distance, Lukas could see two people at the front fighting against the goblins. One of them was holding a large shield.

The goblins were thrown back whenever he hit his shield on the ground, giving his companions room to attack.

And then, a fireball came from behind and crashed into the middle of the goblins. It was causing explosions. "So those are the explosions I was hearing. But will they be able to withstand that for long?"

From the number of dead goblins and their equipment, Lukas was sure they were not novice players. But what were they doing here?

"They came here because of the tiger, didn't they? But what should I do? They look tired." The only one who looked okay was the man with the shield. His companions were sweating and looked tired.

But Lukas wanted to avoid getting into the middle of this battle and show himself to those players. For some reason, he didn't want to be seen by them. Even though Lukas wished to become famous, he wanted to be different from K1ller.

He wanted to be famous, but he wanted to live a normal life.

It is complicated.

The thought of being chased by journalists all day long gave Lukas a headache. He didn't want that, but he knew it was inevitable. However, he had an idea: to hide his face.

He had shown his face to a few people, but it probably wouldn't make a difference.

And if he didn't hide his face, his family would find out about the "secret life" he had acquired a few days ago. Of course, he could show his face in the future, but he thought it was good to hide now.

So he opened the system.

"The system must have a mask to sell." Lukas was looking for a mask that gave him some "bonus." Like a status increase or defense increase.

There were many different masks. Probably the system knew he would do something like that. However, the only one that caught his attention was a black mask.

A matte black mask with only two holes for his eyes and small holes so he could breathe. It could be compared to Jason's Mask if it had a few more holes.

Weird.

"But this is good. It will give me a mysterious look. It completely hides my face." This Mask suits him quite well since Lukas has black hair and eyes.

[ You bought a mask! -4.000 ]

Yes, the value of the Mask was 4.000 likes, but the reason behind it was its effects and Rank.

[Mask]

Effect - Increases the user's magic power by 40% and magic defense by 50%.

Rank - B

Value - 4.000

A mask focused on the magic Status of the user. Since his magical Status had a low rank, Lukas thought it was great. Because of the Mask, Lukas' magic rank increased by one.

His magic was now at rank F. But as soon as he removed his Mask, it would return to rank G.

"All right, let's go... These guys are going to die if it keeps up like this." Even though the number of bodies increased, the number of goblins did not decrease.

It was a wave of monsters that were coming from everywhere.

All the goblins inside the dungeon came to this place. Something abnormal.

Lukas put on his hood and held up his two weapons.

"It would be a waste to throw this sword away." He concluded that he could fight using two weapons. He decided to keep his $250 sword with him.

With two weapons, he could cut many goblins, right?

Starting a recording, Lukas uttered the following words.

"Blade creation." He used a skill for the first time.
