Looking around the F-Rank Dungeon, I once again see the luscious green forest from last time, this time however I am alone. I pull out my armor, shield, sword, and dagger. "Khaaaaeeehkh!" Looking to my right, I see two Liinids (pronounced lee-nids) crawl-running at me. Swinging my sword at them, I nearly decapitate one and slash the other on the arm. "Khaarah!" The alive one, although screeching in pain, charges at me while swinging it's remaining claw around trying to hit me with it. Stabbing it in the neck with my dagger, the other Liinid dies. Grabbing the magic stone of the one that has it, I move on. Walking into the forest I see another one, piercing it's heart with my dagger, I don't see a magic stone so I move on.
While walking further, I ancounter a nest of thirteen Liinids. Climbing up a tree, I throw thirteen of my Poisoned Throwing Knives at their throats, with eight of them hitting their designated targets. As for the remaining five, I decided to jump down and kill them. Landing on one of them, I slice it's throat with my dagger. Throwing two more Poisoned Throwing Knives, they land their targets. One on the leg, the other the stomach. The remaining two charge at me. I stab the eye of one before slicing the throat of the other, then coming back to the first one by stabbing it's heart. Picking up all of the Poisoned Throwing Knives that I threw, at the same time I picked up the magic stones, getting a total of nine. Nine huh? That's pretty good considering the odds of getting a magic stone from an F-Rank monster is one in three.
After walking for a few more minutes I spot another nest, this one having ten Liinids.
Sneaking up to one, I slice it's throat, before moving on to the others. In total I killed six before the last four noticed me. "Kraaagh!" The Liinid screeched. Dodging its swing, I stab it in the throat with my dagger. I pull it out as I block a double attack with my shield while parrying the the thirds. Hitting the two Liinids with my shield, I go for the one I parried and stab it in the eye, the tip coming out the other side of its head.
"Aaallaarrggggh!" "Lapppsgeerraareaer!" The final two screech before lunging at me.
Blocking with my shield, I kick the one on the left away while stabbing the right one in the heart, then turning back to the one I kicked, I stab it in the heart.
Picking up the magic stones (from the ones that have them anyway) I get four.
Yep! Sounds about right.... "Time to move on!"
Walking further into the forest, I see the main nest. Picking up some rocks, I throw them all in certain areas, ensuring only a few Liinids near the noise each rock makes.
Group after group I kill them all. Then I repeat the whole process all over again.
I continue this until there's only seven of them left. Then I throw twelve of my Poisoned Throwing Knives at them (two for each one) before running up to the seventh one and stabbing it in its throat. "Kraagh!" It seems like only five of them were hit. Dodging the slash, I stab it in the throat with my dagger, netting a total eighty-seven magic stones.
Combining that with the 14 other magic stones I had gotten, I managed to get 101 magic stones.
Going to the boss area, I see the remaining Liinids, the five Liinards (pronounced lee-nards), and the Liizard. "Roaaarghgar!" Roaring loudly, the Liinards run to me claws and teeth out. This sounds like a good time to activate this swords Skill! Activating my Sword of Fire's Skill Burning Fire, I stab the Liinard in front in the heart, then moving the sword sideways to the arm before pulling it out of its body. Looking at the body, I see that the areas around where the sword had slashed were not only charred, but on fire. Suddenly two more Liinards charge at me. Shit! Pulling up my shield as fast as I could, they both hit the shield with their tails. As they try to go around it, I throw one of my Poisoned Throwing Knives at the right one. Charging at the one on the left, I activate Burning Fire and slash its neck, it's neck lighting on fire. "Aaaghr...!" Roars the other one before collapsing from the poison. Picking up the throwing knife I grab the Liinard's magic stones, I realize that that fire is powered by E-Rank Magic which means I should be getting burned from this right now. "Skill screen, Heat Resistance."
Heat Resistance (E-Rank)
"That explains it then." "Raaaaghhgaaeergaar!!" Turning towards the source of the sound, I see the boss monster charging at me with the remains two Liinards.
Damn! That's faster than I can dodge! Guess I need to activate the shields Skill as well then.... Activating Hard Defense, I pull my shield up and brace for the attacks.
The boss slams into my shield while clawing at it. "Hey buddy, time for round two!" I yell to it. Dodging an attack from the Liinard on the left, I swipe at it with my sword, grazing it as it dodges. Quickly I throw three Poisoned Throwing Knives at the left Liinard, two of them stabbing it, the third grazing it as it hits the ground. "Ugh!"
I groan in pain as the boss try's attacking me again, dodging it I block it with my shield before running up to the other Liinard and stabbing it in the heart. Taking its chance the boss lunges at me, me partially blocking it with my shield. "Uaagh! Fuck that hurts!"
I yell in pain. "Aargh!" The boss lunges at me again, I block it and counterattack, slicing its lower arm off. "Aaaarghaarrr!" The boss screams in pain as it stumbles a bit.
Taking my chance I lunge at, impaling it in its stomach. "Aarrraagh...!" The boss lunges for my throat but I block it with my arm. Ignoring the pain, I stab it's arm. Taking advantage of the fact that it's distracted, I lunge at its neck with my sword, piercing it.
"Thank god it's finally over!" I say out loud, sighing in relief.
Picking up the magic stones, I check the ranks of the magic stone I got. While I wait for the reward for defeating the dungeon.

Damn! That's a lot of good stuff! All this from defeating an F-Rank dungeon...? Welp okay then! Afterwards I walk back to the Gate, using a potion so that Rachel wouldn't be worried. Looking back one more time, I say. "See you another day!" And walk through the Gate.
