Volume 1 Chapter 16 (2/2)

[It’s the fact that you can even beat the golem that is strange.] (Phil)

Phil is definitely an excellent receptionist. Although I report our party’s levels every night when I deliver the quest document and materials, the next morning she would have prepared and introduce a delicious quest to us for that day. The quests would often be difficult enough for us to clear while providing excellent rewards. They played a huge part in our speed although the Rock Golem did provide a lot of experience.

Since beginners can’t defeat dungeon exclusive monsters, the only ones hunting the Rock Golems were us. It is possible to match our pace if you have Phil’s introductions while hunting other monsters in the dungeon, however there would be competition as everyone else would be hunting those monsters as well. Whereas we could freely hunt the golems without waiting for the monsters to respawn every week. Their individual experience values were high and rare items could also be dropped. Thanks to that, everyone was able to achieve level 11 in just one week.

[Heres the material for the quest and these are the items that I would like to cash out please.] (Youya)

[This much!!? Aren’t you earning as much as an intermediate adventurer?] (Phil)

[Well yeah. If it’s after their respawn, in a beginner dungeon with fewer competition, it’s possible] (Youya)

With their spawn rate fixed weekly, the monsters and treasures respawn and the geography of the dungeon changes. Although the risk is higher, it is the most efficient day to go into the dungeon. That’s why we entered the dungeon earlier today and hunted from the early mornings. Thanks to that we were more exhausted than expected, but we got a level higher than our goal.

[You are definitely doing something! Even if Til has the firepower of two people, even if Luna’s increased power from Assassinate, it shouldn’t be THIS fast! It still doesn’t add up!] (Phil)

As expected of a professional receptionist. Just by looking at our party composition, she could estimate how much we can achieve with our capabilities.

[You’re a former adventurer aren’t you. Us adventurers have things that we must not reveal carelessly.] (Youya)

[You’re right. I won’t ask any more. But about tomorrow’s dungeon and quest..] (Phil)

[It’s alright. The dungeon tomorrow has already been decided.] (Youya)

Thinking back, we are finally level 11. Thanks to this, we can’t enter the mountain dungeon anymore. With items from my peak and other special bonuses, there are a bunch of methods available to us that is impossible for others.

[I have a bad feeling about this. Where do you plan to go tomorrow?] (Phil)

[The seafloor dungeon.] (Youya)

Phil gasped.

Well that is to be expected. The seafloor dungeon isn’t a dungeon meant for beginners in the first place. That dungeon has a recommended level 25, it isn’t a place for chicks at level 11 to enter. Far from making a mistake, it’s a place where even making half a step incorrectly would be dangerous.

[That’s suicidal!] (Phil)

[Don’t worry about it. If I was alone, that’ll be true. But I’m not alone this time. I have friends entering with me. If there are others, I have a plan.] (Youya)

Our hunting so far has been within the realm of common sense, even if it’s pushing the limit. However, now that we’re level 11, we will finally begin hunts that are extraordinary. If I were to stick to conventional hunts, I would die of old age before I even reach level 50. Phil puffed up her cheeks while looking at me, before letting out a sigh.

[I’m guessing that is also a secret.] (Phil)

[Yeah.] (Youya)

[Sigh. Fine. I believe that Youya wouldn’t put Luna and Til in any danger, but just in case, please keep this with you.] (Phil)

Phil took out three blue jewels from her pocket.

[Those are Return Stones aren’t they? I can’t receive such expensive things.] (Youya)

[It’s my feelings as an older sister thinking about her younger sister. Don’t worry about the money, they are items that I obtained back when I was still adventuring.] (Phil)

Return Stones are items that can be used to escape from a dungeon instantly, regardless of the situation. It is impossible to create this stones, as they are items that can only be obtained from chests in the dungeon. For adventurers, this was akin to a lifeline that everyone wanted, causing the price of the stone to rise.

[Then I’ll humbly receive them. I’ll try my best so that we will never need to use them.] (Youya)

[Well they are only used when you are in the worst of the worst situation.] (Phil)

[Of course.] (Youya)

Phil looks at me and laughs. With this, the conversation ends. Phil hands over the quest reward and drop item fee and I leave the guild.

Now then, I can’t leave two kids starving and waiting for too long. Tonight’s superstar menu will be a gigantic roasted pig foot. Those two will definitely enjoy tonight’s meal.

The next morning, we entered the seafloor dungeon.

[Youya. Looks weird.] (Luna)

[You are not wearing your usual leather armour today?] (Til)

[Well.] (Youya)

I equipped a different set of equipment from my usual equipment this time around. I wore a robe instead of my usual leather armour, and a cane with a jewel at the top instead of a sword at my waist.

[I just felt like wearing this today.] (Youya)

We came here to do some a unique hunt not within the realm of common sense in this world utilizing my Magic Customization. My customized spells doesn’t consist of only Napalm Strike and in this dungeon, there are other magics that can truly shine because of the dungeon. We will kill monsters with levels that far surpass our own to raise our levels as quickly as possible. It is also possible for us to go the standard route and raise it slowly, but this method is far more desirable than that.

Now let’s get hyped up. From here on we are shifting into full gears. To be the fastest to reach level 50 in this world.
