For two hours, Leiu kept hunting Bitter Trees, finding the process easy, if not a little bit boring.

The only slightly problematic thing was spotting the moving trees. Occasionally, they would be motionless and 'sit' on the ground, making them look no different than normal trees.

Leiu also spotted some carnivorous plants and other strange monster plants, however, he avoided them for the time being.

Level: 23 (57%) CLASS: Dark Knight TITLE(S): Invincible | A Like In The Blink of an Eye -- STATS -- STRENGTH : 79 HEALTH: 47 INTELLIGENCE: 44 MANA: 44 WISDOM: 48 STAMINA: 45 AGILITY: 78 -- DEXTERITY: 63 -- VITALITY: 60 --

Leiu didn't know what the average stats for a Lv23 was, but he was sure it would not be like his. He was a bit proud of his achievements until now, with two classes and the bonus stats he got from the killing, his stats were on the high side.

If only there was a way to increase Stamina. After all, it was his only current flaw, so to speak. As someone who spent all of his day playing, the time spent resting was precious, therefore, he wanted a way to recover Stamina quickly.

He looked at the time to check how much he got left and discovered it was already 3:30 PM, which meant he could spare a bit more playing.

Since he got the achievement, there was no point in spending time killing the Bitter trees anymore. He already all of his quests, and he expected to be rewarded with a decent quantity of Experience.

The Drosera were small plants with numerous routes that can paralyze and slowly poison you. They were much harder to deal with.

Leiu's next Achievement tareget was a type of monster called Drosera. They were small plants that were everywhere, usually found in groups. Not unlike the Bitter Trees, killing them was an easy challenge, and that was reflected on the Achievement reward.

Achievement Gained! You managed to kill 50 Drosera : +3 Vitality

'Finally!'

Leiu was ecstatic when he saw the blue message. Hunting the Drosera was mind-numbingly boring, moreso than the Bitter Trees.

Now that he finished these two Achievements, Leiu decided to go check the nearby Dungeon. When he had been hungting the Bitter Trees, he caught a glimpse of an open area with some Players recruiting or getting ready. It wasn't easy to conclude that the Dungeon was there.

"Recruiting a Healer!"

"Searching for a thief! We'll pay a fair amount for you to dismantle the traps"

This dungeon had 3 floors and it is said that by the second floor there were traps all over the place, if you are not experienced enough or don't have a thief who can dismantle traps, then you'll suffer greatly.

'If I remember correctly, the post said that this Dungeon had 3 floors. Also, there are traps that could only be dismantled by thieves.'

For want of a better word, Dungeons were special places in which lurked strong groups of monsters that rewarded very good experience and precious loot. Dungeons weren't necessarily uniquely caves or caverns, though most of the low-leveled ones were like that.

Most notably, Dungeons were places where most of the PVP happened. People contested for particular lucrative spots or hidden chests. The competition was very fierce and there greedy Players were bound to fight each other and resort to under-handed means.

Leiu never planned on going in a Dungeon with other players. Admittedly, going solo might prove challenging, but it wasn't impossible. Hell Gate empathized collaboration, but even without it, experienced and strong Players would be able to fare well on their own.

'If I can't handle it, I'll just farm outside until I can do it. This is just a small test.'

Leiu read that deeper into the Inner Region of the forest, there were Lv40+ monsters, and currently, no one was able to deal with them, even if a group went together they would just walk to their deaths.

As he ignored the recruiting Players and headed for the dungeon's entrance, someone stopped him.

"Hey Friend! What are you doing?"

Leiu, with a black hood covering his head and a grey cape, his appearance was strange and a bit eye-catching, especially with the white sword and him heading to the dungeon alone under the gazes of everyone.

Leiu stopped in his tracks and glanced at the one who called for him. It was a bald man with a burly body: he had a large bronze shield and an armor similar to the sword-wielding guy who was named Chul.

This bald man had a group following him, five in total. Four men and a woman, each with a weapon that made it easy to guess their Class.

The bald man was a tank. A young man with a boy was likely an Archer. Another youth wore a robe and held a staff, making him a Mage.

The last male had a Steel sword, and the female had a white robe and a book in her hand.

'Swordsman and a Healer.'

The bald man was the guy who was previously searching for a thief. When he saw Leiu's gear, he assumed that he was a Thief. Still, Thieves generally used daggers or shortbows, so the presence of White Edge did make the man a bit perplexed.

Most Classes weren't obligated to use certain weapons, however, to improve efficiency and power, all Players stuck with what suited their Class best. After all, without the appropriate weapon, they wouldn't be able to use class-specific skills.

"I'm playing the game."

Leiu replied in a perfunctorily sarcastic manner, making the bald man's frown at him.

Despite the unsavory response, the bald man still maintained his somewhat friendly attitude.

"I mean, why are you entering the dungeon alo...ne"

Leiu had already walked past Suk, the bald man.

"..."

Suk's smile vanished, but before he could say anything else, his teammate spoke first.

"Don't mind him, let's continue searching for the thief, okay?"

The female Healer, which was a teenage girl, showed a lovely smile as she stopped Suk from chasing Leiu. Suk solemnly nodded his head and resumed his verbal recruiting.

...

Leiu soon entered the dungeon and after walking for a couple of minutes, he arrived at what seemed to be the first floor of the dungeon.

The Dungeon was in the form of a very spacious cave with a high ceiling and a particularly gloomy atmosphere. The place was considerabely dark, thus prompting another one of Leiu's passives to activate.

The buff 'Shadows' has been stacked: At a night or in in shadows, you deal 20% more damage

Due to the special environment, the skill(passive) 'Darkness' has now double the effect : At night, you deal 38% more damage.

All the Dark Knight class offensive skills are now 10% more effective and level up 10% faster.

'Either this class is a blessing or there's something seriously wrong with the System. [Shadows] is from Milkan, which I mounted on the way here, so why would it stack now? Am I misinterpreting what the skills do or what?'

Pushing the series of strange events to the back of his mind, Leiu continued scanning the first floor of the Dungeon. Besides its location and a couple of basic information regarding it, he didn't know anything else.

Apparently, the most common monsters found here were called Haunting Blobs. They bore a strikingly resemblance to goblins with the exception of their skin, which was light-brown. Their weapon of choice was crudely-made clubs.

After walking for just a bit, Leiu spotted a group of players fighting some 'Haunting Blobs'.

'They don't appear to be as annoying as the Crazy Apes.'

Leiu ignored the group and went deeper as he searched for some enemies.

It didn't take long as the dungeon was filled with them. He spotted a group of four Haunting Blobs wandering around, unaware of his presence.

'They're not that perceptive as strong wolf. I should be able to sneak-attack them.'

Leiu waited until they were close enough before jumping at them. He started by using [Icicle], shooting it at the closest unprepared Blob.
