22 Chapter 22 (1/2)

In the end, Orthrus failed to escape my attacks. The battle ended as expected. After my repeated skill spam and stunning attacks, the HP of Orthrus failed to recover and he died. He finally drop a piece of Hood that I needed to replace my Beginner hood.

The Hood Of Tusoz

Equippable at Level 12

Can be equipped by: Assassin, Ninja, Versatile

Rarity: Common

HP +100

DEX: 10

AGI: 10

Critical Chance: +5%

Info:

A hood made by the maestro of Clothes, Shux for the Villager who turned into a hero named Tusoz. Later, Tusoz gave this to his son to continue the legacy of his heroism.

It was only a common rarity but it is much better. Its stats might be better if it was Rare or higher rarity. I quickly equipped it and I felt much like a warrior now equipped by this.

The boss did not drop any items except for a few potions and a two pieces of Gold in which I picked up. A good way to raise my money indeed.

Looking at the EXP bar, it was quite depressing that the progress is getting harder to deal. Even with the effects of Memento Mori, the process is too slow since the bar only filled 49%.

But I can deal with that, the other players are still struggling to enter the town.

After securing everything, I walked to the opposite door, ready to go and slay enemies. The other side of the door is another hallway similar to the hallway I came from earlier, only much darker and hotter. The trees seems blazing stronger than earlier as it was only the leaves that are burning. Now, the whole trunk is burning to crisp. I kind of remember this as the plant that Moses talked with during the Exodus chapter in the bible. But it was total blasphemy if I compare these burning trees to the bush that Moses have talked to.

As I dwell a bit more deeper into the dungeon, a new mob appeared once again.

Skeleton Hound

Level 17

HP: 1,000/1,000

Attribute: Flame, Undead

Well, these guys are not something similar to the Demonic Hounds I beat up earlier. Skeleton Hounds are much more built with bones than flesh. It seems to move like something is controlling on it. They are easy to kill. They don't have any skills that can threaten me at all.

I casually pass against them and with every strike can cause more than a thousand damage. This is just lesser and normal dungeon, not an Abyss mode.

When I arrive near the dungeon boss room, I saw the temporary log out zone. Temporary log out zone are only available in Normal modes, I almost forgot that this one is here since I no longer play the normal mode and mostly on Hell and Abyss mode in the past. Seeing the time, I guess it is time for me to have a break. It is almost lunch time.

When I log out, I decided to eat lunch first. With the leftover food during breakfast, I decided to heat it up. I can't be too wasteful on food. While the food is still being heated up, I turn on the television for now. It was the news every lunch time. What made me surprised is that the news is covering the Alternate World Rankings.

”The rankings in Alternate World seems too surprising! Nobody knew that somebody can make the players frustrated to level up right now! Today, we are interviewing a pro player that we all knew, Shuichi Takano. Apparently, he was a beta tester of the game, Alternate World. We knew him as a player with really good progress in any kind of games. Usually, he can be considered always as number one.Players might think he is the player using

the account of Bladeheart. Since he is here, we shall interview him,” the reporter smiled and turned beside her. I was able to know who this guy is.

”Hello! Everyone knew me but the speculations that I control this Bladeheart player is not true. I am playing as Blade Striker and currently level 8. I did not even know who this guy is, however, I never expected him to be really good in the game. Many might not knew it but Bladeheart seems to be a very good player in terms of leveling. He surpassed most of us and if anyone can guess, he is already in level 20. I don't understand how he did it but I quite knew that reaching to level 20 is quite a lot of work and needed a lot of days before reaching that level. However, he did it without even spending two days,” Shuichi said to the reporter.

”So this player Bladeheartcheated?” The reporter asked.
