In The Academy As Sukuna

Ch 12 - Dungeon (Part 3) - Grinding with Doggo

"Patience is not just a virtue; it's a weapon. The more you wait, the stronger you become."

(POV: Ryomen Sukuna)

Here we can see Sukuna running around killing monsters with his deadly slicing attacks.

Sukuna, as a player of the game, knows the mechanics of dungeons, and hence has formulated a technique to gain Cursed Energy Proficiency in the most efficient way.

Monsters in dungeons increase in strength as one goes closer to the boss room, and these monsters give more EXP.

He has figured out that the EXP required to level up increases exponentially with each level, and each level up gives 1% Cursed Energy Proficiency.

Why am I talking in third-person? I don't know. Also, you finally see my POV, it's been a while.

Monsters use the mana from the dungeon core to be spawned, once a room is cleared out, the monsters start respawning.

The respawn mechanic only happens in certain rooms, though.

I've chosen two rooms, I kill all the monsters in one room, then move to the other, killing all the monsters there.

Sometimes in between, I try to practice Reverse Cursed Technique as well.

At the start of the dungeon run, I picked up a dog, an E-Rank monster. If I have to wait anywhere, I let this dog nibble on me, by nibble I mean eat my limbs off, then I heal myself, which improves the technique.

I named him Doggo, by the way.

I'm surprised myself that I did not give in to this extremely repetitive task of killing things and getting eaten.

I've been doing this for two hours, and the only thing that keeps me going is my chant.

'GIMME XP XP XP XP GOTTA GET THE DOMAIN'

'GOTTA GET THE DOMAIN'

'GOTTA GET THE-'

[Cursed Energy Proficiency has reached 60%]

[Unlocking Fire]

[Done, Chant 'Open' to unseal when needed]

I finally reached what I was aiming for, I'll take a rest before continuing.

What? Did you think I'd leave such a good XP farm without milking it down to the last drop?

I sat down in the corner of a third room, which was cleared already, in which monsters did not respawn.

I took out the coat hanged on my back, which I use as a bag.

Opening the coat, a dog came out.

Honestly, this dog was cute, he looked like a hot dog, a murderous hot dog with razor sharp teeth.

Anyhow, it started doing its thing while I sat in peace healing the wounds it made.

I sighed, looking at the ceiling.

Boredom taking over my mind, I looked at the dog chewing my hand, which he separated from my body by biting it, though another one had already regrown.

"You know, Doggo, there are two types of NTR in this world." I said, my voice become graver as I finished the sentence.

In response to this, Doggo glanced at me before continuing his meal.

Thinking that I had his attention, I continued.
