There are 3 dungeons information that I bought.
E rank Akihabara station dungeon. The monster inside is a kobold, a type of wolf that is standing on two legs and can use the equipment. There is a chance that an elite monster kobold mage and kobold archer to respawn but the chance is not high. The rewards are 5 golds, a piece of equipment, and a skill book. I think that is the standard drop of an E rank dungeon.
E rank Tokyo tower dungeon. This dungeon is more like a field rather than a cave. This is a time limit dungeon where we have to kill all the monsters within one day or we will be teleported back to the entrance and the dungeon reset. The experience and item gained will remains which means only the rewards are not granted. I think this could lead someone to get trapped inside an endless loop. Unless someone gets in to help. The rewards are still the same.
The last is E rank is in Tokyo aquarium. This one is actually an aquatic dungeon where 80% of the dungeon is made out of water. Most of the monster inside is a mutated fish and there is no time limit to clear the dungeon. The rewards are also the same as the previous two dungeons.
From what I see, the dungeons mostly appeared at a place where there are a lot of people. As I thought before, if the goal is to kill humans, a crowded place is the best choice to unleash the dungeon. Because at the prologue the monsters can actually come out and kill humans freely, I didn’t know how many lives are lost when the dungeon appears. Just in the Tokyo tower alone, I could predict the number goes in the thousands.
I bought some rations online and it will be delivered by tomorrow morning. Honestly, I wanted to take a break but I can’t be lax now. No one knows how much longer this phase after the prologue is. I wanted to get stronger as fast as I can so I can survive. What could be even worse than the prologue anyway?
I who have lost everything except my life doesn’t afraid of anything else. I am even prepared to die at any moment.
If there’s another thing that I notice, I actually have become stronger. Is it because of the points that I distributed to the strength stats?
At most I could only lift a 50kg rice bag. But right now, I think that I could lift 500kg with ease. I tried to lift a car that is parked near my home and I can lift it without even sweating. No wonder people are going dungeon diving. Except for the riches, they are also growing in power. Who doesn’t want to be a superhero and save the world? Actually, I want power but not for a noble cause like saving the world. I only want to survive.
The maker of the dungeon is really smart. Making our status and level visible. It will spark a competitive spirit between dungeon divers when they see someone has a higher level than them or acquire better items. More and more people are going to get jealous of someone who is more successful than them. People hard to see someone else happy and happy seeing someone else facing hardship.
In the end, more people will go inside the dungeon and some will die. As I thoughts, the dungeon maker is a p*****t that wanted to kill people.
After getting enough sleep, the ration that I ordered arrive first thing in the morning. This time there is a mix of beef jerky and canned foods aside from bread which could last for a week. I am just taking precautions since I didn’t know how long will I be inside. Just like the chimera and goblin dungeon that I entered, I thought two days would be enough originally but the truth is different.
This time, I am going to enter the Akihabara station dungeon. Different from the dungeon that is regulated by the government and big guilds, the surrounding of the dungeon isn’t even guarded. Just like the dungeon in my class. They didn’t put much importance on this kind of dungeon. The rewards from clearing E rank dungeon didn’t enter the eyes of those with power and anyone could freely enter.
I entered the dungeon and saw carcasses of the monster. It seemed that someone is already here inside the dungeon and have killed the kobold. It hasn’t one hour yet since their body is still here. Some of its claw is missing. I guess that is the monster part that could be sold from the kobold. The claw can be melted and forged into equipment. It will result in an E grade common equipment which can be sold for $50,000-$100,000. So, the claw should be selling for a pretty good price.
When entering a dungeon that has been entered by another party, there are a couple of options to choose from. First, you can catch up to the previous team that is already clearing up the dungeon ahead and work together with them. Secondly, you can wait for another hour to wait for the monster to be respawned. Either the previous team will already have cleared the dungeon and you are transported out or you could help them clear the dungeon. Third, of course, you can catch up at the party in the front and kill them. Get experience from them and also acquire the item that they have looted from the monster.
This is why everyone is always wary when they are meeting others inside the dungeon. After all, no one will know how you die inside the dungeon and nobody will care. There are people that specialized in killing others for profit inside the dungeon as they are called dungeon raiders. Different from normal dungeon divers, they will wait for others to enter the dungeon and get inside the dungeon after some time. At that point, most of the monster will be killed and they can take the hard works of the victim.
Of course, I am not a dungeon raider. I am a full-fledged dungeon diver. I am not entering the dungeon with the intent of taking advantage of others. Although I won’t run away if there’s such an opportunity.
I walked forward and without any monster hindering me, I catch up to the party in front of me in no time.
There are 10 people upfront. To be exact it was two different parties. The Five-men party is working hard fighting against the monster while the other five are watching them from the shadows. It was a party of dungeon diver and a dungeon raider. It is funny how people already abandoned their conscience about killing others. Of course, when I was killing Sirius, I have a clear conscience. He will die either way and I just helped him reaches his goal.
Looking at these people in front of me, what should I do? Should I kill the dungeon raider and help the dungeon diver? But, why should I do such bothersome things? I won’t be rewarded by the dungeon diver and killing the dungeon raider will have its own risk. Although I am concealed, I could still die from a wild attack.
For now, I have decided just to see first how the situation will turn out.
