Chapter 20: Chapter 19: Low-Tier Dungeon, Part III

This was only the first floor of a low-grade dungeon. They were the weakest monsters; created to be fodder for beginners.

They were monsters that I hunted many, many times during my past life, but now, the experience was different.

[You have leveled up.]

As I was trying to come to terms with this new feeling, a message popped up, telling me that I had just gained a level.

”Awesome,” I said in self-satisfaction.

”Seems like a waste to stop now, now that I have a taste.”

My body was itching for more action, and I had too much adrenaline running through my body for me to stop now.

”Alright, then. I'll go all the way to the third floor and get the first boss.”

It didn't matter how much the Sunbin Guild appeased and considered other devas; the fact that the guild had the dungeon's bosses on lock was a different story, even when the bosses were the lowest of the low.

The Bukhan Mountain low-grade dungeon had only one rule people had to follow in order to use it; the bosses could only be defeated by the Sunbin Guild!

There really was no reason to curse or blame the Sunbin Guild. Other guilds did the same with the dungeons they monopolized.

It didn't matter how strong the bosses were; they were actually taken care of by guilds quite well. Larger guilds even had guards keeping an eye on the bosses at all times.

”I should go. I'll need to hurry if I want to kill a boss monster today.”

Each floor of a low-grade dungeon could be big enough for just over a thousand people to hunt in.

I had to hurry if I was going to cross three floors in Bukhan Mountain's dungeon and kill a boss by the end of the day.

”Oh, that's right. I shouldn't forget about the golden rings.”

I picked up the golden rings that appeared in place of the dead orcs' bodies. Most times, one golden ring would drop without items and weak orc grunts usually dropped two golden rings.

”It's better than nothing.”

I put the golden rings that I hadn't seen in a long time into my pocket.

”I should save up as much as I can and buy an inventory box as soon as possible. That way I won't get mugged by thieves and have to carry all this around with me all the time.”

Inventory boxes weren't just given out in the beginning. You had to buy them.

A person could have up to three inventory boxes in their possession. There were five different sizes of inventory boxes one could obtain: 10 slots, 20 slots, 30 slots, 50 slots, and 100 slots.

It was possible to have three 100–slot boxes, giving you 300 slots to work with. The problem was that a 100-slot box was crazy expensive.

”If I recall correctly, a 100-slot box cost a billion golden rings.”

In my past life, someone like me couldn't even dream of owning a 100-slot box. Heck, even a 50-slot box was way out of my reach.

Back then, I had 1 20-slot box and 2 10-slot boxes, which gave me only 40 slots of inventory.

I had the money to switch my 10-slots to 30-slots, but my inventory was constantly filled with items and I never had the time to get out of the 40 slots.

”40 slots of inventory was way too frustrating. Let's get out of that rut now.”

There were general items that had to be equipped, consumable items, and random material loot that monsters dropped in hunts. All these added up quickly and were too much for 40 slots.

I always thought that, at a minimum, the three boxes should all add up to 100 slots.

I began to make my forward after putting the golden rings into my pocket.

Even though it was a low-grade dungeon, the Bukhan Mountain dungeon was actually quite large.
