Past

Worm entered the dungeon.

He got a system message the moment he entered.

#
You have discovered a rare secret dungeon. Due to this discovery, the experience and drop rates will increase 3 times for a day.

After that, the experience gained would be twice what you normally gain for 3 more days.

After 4 days, experience and drop rate will be normal.

It was dark, so it took a couple of minutes for his eyes to adjust. The entrance was surprisingly large. Two giants could easily walk side by side inside the cave. He knew that monsters could jump him from anywhere. He had his right arm and right leg free unlike before so he was pretty confident about his fighting skill and that he would be able to hold his own for quite a while.

He didn’t wanna risk fighting against a number of opponents and he wasn’t sure what monsters were present in this dungeon. He had never experienced dungeon hunting and hence he walked to one side of the cave and went ahead while being staying close to the side wall as much as possible, thereby hiding himself the best he could.

He walked around 200 meters and still there wasn’t any signs of any monsters. The cave changed though. The width of the cave now was almost twice the width of the entrance. He wished Adalwolf was here with him to help him with his anxiety but Adalwolf was lazily roaming outside the cave.

All his weapons were still in his inventory. He didn’t want to carry any extra burdens while he was walking stealthily. He was confident of his drawing-the-weapon-out-of-his-inventory speed. At the moment, he just wanted to check out the monsters in the dungeon.

The ‘rare’ secret dungeon scared him.

’Just what type of monsters are there in this dungeon?’

Huge rocks could be seen now. He wondered why there would be huge rocks sitting in the middle of a dungeon. After another 50 meters, the rocks could be seen everywhere around him. There were small rocks at the foot of the huge rocks.

The huge rocks divided the dungeon as if there were 3 different paths of around 4-5 meters each. The dungeon could be broken as left side dungeon wall, 5 meters of space followed by a rocky wall, then another path of around 4 meters followed by another rocky wall and then right side dungeon wall after a space of 5 meters.

Worm saw the odd nature of rock’s position in the dungeon. If only there were more people with him, he could have placed some people on the top of these rocky walls and would have had them throw rocks or use arrows to hunt monsters while they were being lured here by another person.

But he was alone, and there was no way he could use even Adalwolf here because his master had made it clear that Adalwolf won’t be helping him until he reaches level 50 and gets to see his stats again.

He went further in. The rocky wall wasn’t there anymore and the dungeon narrowed. Now, there was only 3 meters space between the left and the right wall, Then he saw a fox roaming inside the dungeon. It was so dark that the fox couldn’t see him. If it hadn’t been for his concentration skill which was at beginner level 4 now, he couldn’t have sensed the fox either.
