In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　“We can add this money to the bounty on the Rudra clan, but this is a special case and will not be repeated!” Royman said solemnly, trying to show his authority, but his exaggeratedly fat body only made him look ridiculous.

　According to the rules, they cannot do this. The guild cares more about the impact. If anyone could add money to bounty missions, it would become an assassination list.

　But since that expert has spoken, all rules have to take a backseat.

　Royman looked at Ryu with a look of surprise and doubt. How exactly did the other party convince the great god Uranus?

　Having received a satisfactory reply, Liu left behind a note for 80 million fares and turned to leave.

　Roy, who had been hiding in the crowd, also quietly disappeared.

　But everyone knew that this turmoil had only just begun. The Rudra Familia had used some unknown means to destroy the Astrea Familia.

　Even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. What will be the final outcome of Astrea's counterattack?

　Ryu and Roy met in a secluded alley, and she asked, "What do we do next?"

　"Wait!"

　Roy replied that his plan was actually not complicated; it was Ryuta who underestimated the prestige of his own clan.

　The Astrea Familia frequently fights against the strong and helps the weak, and together with the Ganesha Familia, they maintain order in Orario. They played a significant role in the "Great Struggle" two years ago.

　Even five years later in the original timeline, during the great battle with Freya's Familia, the moment Ryu appeared, the residents and adventurers of Orario were moved.

　After the entire clan was wiped out, he used the reputation accumulated by his clan to create a tragic persona and win everyone's sympathy.

　With another 80 million Fali, the anger combined with the benefits would be enough to send Orario's adventurers to besiege the Rudra Familia. The Rudra Familia would either be hunted down to death or agree to the War Game, allowing them to be eliminated in one fell swoop.

　"Then I'll leave first!"

　This plan needs time to develop, and there's nothing they can do for the time being. Roy waved his hand and left.

　"Where are you going?"

　Liu glared at him. If this bastard ran away, was she supposed to deal with the Rudra clan all by herself?

　Roy turned his head slightly and smiled, "Don't think of me like that, I'm just going to the dungeon!"

　“???” Watching Roy’s dashing figure, Ryu realized she couldn’t keep up with his train of thought, and she had to return to the Star Garden to report to the Goddess.

　If Roy saw the elf girl's expression at this moment, he would definitely think of the old man, the cell phone, and the subway.

　The guild headquarters wasn't far from the Tower of Babel, and Roy envisioned a spacious plaza.

　Many people saw him and Ryu arrive at the guild headquarters. The Rudrak's clan didn't receive the news so quickly, so he still had some time to go to the dungeon and let loose his desires from the past ten years.

　In theory, only adventurers who have registered with a guild can enter the dungeon, but generally speaking, no one would be foolish enough to go to the dungeon to die.

　The Ganesha's Familia members, responsible for guarding the Tower of Babel and the entrance to the underground city, were too lazy to check each one.

　Roy stood tall and proud, with the fearlessness of a newborn calf, much like a novice adventurer bursting with confidence after receiving divine favor.

　The seasoned veterans around him smiled, already mentally calculating how long this fool would last.

　Fortunately, Roy received a scabbard with the Village Good Sword he obtained from the system; otherwise, with a newbie holding a sword worth hundreds of thousands, it's hard to guarantee that no one would be tempted.

　The member of the Ganesha Familia frowned, wanting to remind the other party, but in the end it turned into a sigh. People become numb after seeing this kind of thing too many times.

　The moment Roy entered the dungeon, the childlike expression on his face vanished without a trace.

　Although he had been in Orario for more than half a month, this was his first time entering the dungeon.

　Things are different now. Thanks to the system's favor, I now wield the Village Sword, the Magic Sword, and Magic Boots.

　Roy needs to go to the dungeon for a bit.

　The first level of the underground city is a passage formed by stone walls, with light blue walls and ceilings that dominate the entire field of vision. This natural labyrinth, where the sky is invisible, stretches endlessly in all directions.

　The stone wall was made of an unidentified substance resembling magic stone, emitting specks of phosphorescence that illuminated the surroundings like lamplight, making it as bright as day even without the sun.

　Bang!Bang!Bang!

　Suddenly, the wall in front of Roy shattered, and three or four goblins jumped out. They had green skin, sharp ears, and brown eyes that gleamed with ferocity.

　He charged toward Roy.

Chapter 12 demonstrates fault tolerance

　Goblins coming towards us.

　Far from frightening Roy, an excited smile appeared on his face.

　Back in his hometown in the Kingdom of Lachia, goblins also roam the forests. Roy was quite familiar with these monsters; their attributes were similar to those of an adult.

　Roy drew his village sword, its silver blade gleaming and reflecting the goblin's hideous face.

　The goblin charged forward mindlessly and bit down.

　Roy stepped back to create distance, and after seeing the goblin's movements clearly, he swung his sword at it.

　The sharp blade struck the goblin, easily cleaving open its forehead and tearing its slender body apart.

　As it turned out, Roy had underestimated the Village Sword; in the upper echelons, it was practically a divine weapon. His movements were swift and decisive, without any hesitation, and in the blink of an eye, all the goblins were slain.

　Bang!

　Without any blood splattering, the four goblins exploded and turned to ashes, leaving several tiny, finger-sized fragments of purple magic stone scattered on the ground.

　Roy crouched down, picked up the magic stone fragments, and put them in his pocket. He didn't lack the money, but this was the reward for his first monster kill.

　Magic stones are the core of monsters and their source of power, so attacking magic stones is the most effective way to defeat monsters. Guilds collect magic stone fragments and use the energy within them to create various convenient items.

　Soon, the wall bulged slightly.

　Several more monsters jumped out. There are only two types of monsters on the first floor of the dungeon: goblins and earth spirits, which can be easily dealt with by level 1 adventurers.

　Moreover, Roy wielded the Muramasa Sword, worth hundreds of thousands of Fali, making his fight on the first floor seem like he was cheating.

　There are no tricks, it’s all numbers!

　After spending more than half an hour getting used to the monsters on the first floor, Roy went down the corridor and quickly broke through to the second floor, where the environment was no different from the first floor.

　I heard a faint sound coming from above.

　Roy looked up and saw a giant gecko on the ceiling, staring at him with its blood-red eyes.

　The gecko monster, "Dungeon Lizard," has rough brown skin, a horizontally split mouth, and a long, thin tongue protruding from its mouth. Its entire body is about 1.5 meters long. It is a type of monster that appears on the 2nd to 4th floors and is classified as a low-level monster, similar to goblins or earth spirits.

　call out!

　The gecko monster quickly crawled in front of Roy, opened its mouth, and thrust its tongue towards his head like a spear.

　Roy tilted his head to the side, dodging the attacking tongue, and thrust his sword-wielding right hand forward, the blade easily piercing the lizard's rough skin and penetrating its body.

　Bang!

　The gecko monster shattered, and fragments of the magic stone fell.

　Relying on the sharpness of the Murakami sword, he almost ignored the defenses of the higher-level monsters, slaying them with a single strike. Roy shook his head and smiled; he now understood the saying that overly powerful equipment could create dependency.

　However, in dungeons, it would be truly foolish to leave powerful equipment unused.

　Roy continued on.

　After killing more than a dozen gecko monsters and goblins, Roy successfully entered the third level.

　The dungeon was unusually quiet; conversations and footsteps were amplified. Whenever Roy encountered adventurers along the way, he would put away his village sword in advance.

　One should not flaunt one's wealth. Although those at the top are close to the ground, it is still difficult to guarantee that others will not have ulterior motives.

　[Strength: 0→5 (I)]

　Endurance: 0→8 (I)

　At that moment, two panels popped up in front of Roy, and a smile appeared on his face.

　He figured his attributes should be improved as well.

　The way to improve abilities can also be described as targeted behavior. For example, endurance improves more the more you get hit, injured, or stressed. Similarly, running and grip training will improve agility and strength.

　Killing nearly twenty monsters only resulted in a total stat increase of 13, so it's not entirely Roy's fault.

　With Agility at 600 (C), the improvement from killing these small monsters is negligible. Dexterity, on the other hand, is a skill-based skill; Roy was wielding the Village Sword and one-shotting monsters the whole time, so there's no way he could improve his dexterity.

　Roy was not discouraged. He didn't need gods. After killing monsters, his stats could be updated in real time. This alone gave him a huge advantage over other adventurers.

　The deeper you go in the dungeon, the larger the space becomes.

　When Roy entered the fifth level, there was a noticeable change compared to the first level. The passages became wider, like a maze, with many sides, and the frequency of encountering other adventurers began to decrease.

　Bang!

　The wall shattered, and seven or eight werewolves jumped out. They were about 1.6 meters tall, covered in fur, with sharp teeth and claws, and stood on two legs. Compared to the previous monsters, these werewolves were armed with wooden clubs.

　Roy's eyes turned fervent.

　Rumble!

　These werewolves showed no fear of death and charged forward with the force of a thousand troops.

　Roy felt a surge of pressure. Strictly speaking, this was his first real battle; the previous instant kills couldn't even be called battles.

　call out!

　The lead werewolf was the first to reach Roy, smashing a wooden stick into his head with a whooshing sound.

　Roy raised the village sword and slashed it head-on. The blade, sharp as mud, cleaved the wooden stick in two the instant it touched it, splitting it in two along with the werewolf behind him.

　Bang!

　The dismembered werewolf exploded, and fragments of magic stone fell.

　The instant kill of one werewolf did not frighten the others; instead, the monsters' emerald green eyes, like will-o'-the-wisps, grew even more ferocious, and they attacked from both sides.

　Despite his limited combat experience, Roy knew he couldn't leave his back to the monster. He kept retreating, always keeping the monster in front of him.

　Roy gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and with a wide sweep, easily cut the two werewolves in half at the waist.

　Just then, a werewolf suddenly darted out from the shadows, its eyes glowing with an eerie green light.

　Roy was startled and instinctively stepped back, raising his arm to block.

　A cold light flashed.

　The werewolf's claws sliced ​​a shallow gash in Roy's hand, and blood splattered out.

　A sharp pain shot through Roy's brain, instantly bringing him to his senses, and his survival instinct surged forth.

　Roy raised his longsword and plunged it into the werewolf's chest. It seemed to have hit something solid, and the werewolf's body stiffened, then exploded, scattering fragments.

　"grass!"

　Roy cursed under his breath.

　Sometimes you can't just look at the data on paper; some things can only be discovered in real-world situations.

　He was too hasty in allocating the 600 attribute points he gained from defeating Doma. He should have allocated them to both Agility and Dexterity.

　Simply put, high agility only allows you to dash in a straight line. To flexibly dodge monster attacks and retaliate in battle, you need to combine it with dexterity.

　The werewolf attacked suddenly, and because his dexterity was too low, he was unable to dodge the attack.

　Roy quickly recovered his composure; after all, he could get a lot of attribute points by grinding dungeons and killing monsters.

　This kind of "failure" can also be considered a good experience.

　If it were an ordinary adventurer, they would probably be kicking themselves, but for him, this is called showing tolerance for mistakes!

Chapter 13 The Tremors of the Dungeon

　"Roar!"

　The remaining four or five werewolves let out a low growl and pounced on Roy frantically, their sharp teeth and claws serving as weapons to tear the intruder apart.

　Seeing this, Roy showed no fear.

　His adrenaline surged, and Roy licked the blood from his arm wound. The strong, metallic taste of blood filled his mouth and shot straight to the top of his head. The stimulation from the pain made his mind exceptionally clear.

　The excitement continued to rise.

　In this life-or-death struggle, only at this moment did Roy feel that everything around him was truly real.

　He has gained extraordinary power!
