Level 1 Player (MT Novel) - Chapter 16
Chapter 16. First Achievement (Part 1)
I decided to leave the Horned Rabbit dungeon.
From the beginning the hunt seemed like a big deal to me, but now I finally realize that I was actually very wrong. That girl is probably a high level Player, besides, she used a hiding skill. They must have gone to this place to hunt.
– Shit, I still hadn’t made it to the exit.
The door, which was tight against the gate, turned out to be securely closed.
– Now we have to be even more careful!
I had no idea that a stronger Player could be in the dungeon.
– Hmm, it’s like she’s different…
That girl also used the concealment skill, but she has a different skill than mine.
– I should probably go somewhere else.
I don’t know when I can get out of here or if anyone else will be following me using the concealment skill. But I definitely have to find my way out of this hole soon.
I got into a cab, one of the ones that are always hanging around the dungeons.
– Hello! Where are we going?
– Wait a minute, I’ll take a breath and tell you everything…
The cab driver looked at me strangely after my words, but still drove off.
– So where are we going?
I went on the Internet to search for information about monsters and dungeons. To my surprise and happiness, a higher dungeon was nearby.
– Blood Fox Dungeon, please – it was a dungeon where level 5-10 Players hunted.
– Okay.
Certainly the Blood Fox dungeon was higher in difficulty level than the Horned Rabbit dungeon. But I shouldn’t feel much of a difference between the two. Yes, the level of difficulty was different, but as they say, you can’t beat a dungeon.
– Excuse me, do you know where the Blood Fox dungeon is?
– Yes, of course I do. Are you finished with the Horned Rabbit dungeon yet? Congratulations!
– Yes, thank you.
– Hehe, I’ve driven a lot of Players in my time, so I know the way well. Last time some Player…
The cabbie got to talking. I just made some little comments in return, and nodded approvingly.
– Achievements and titles…
Now it was something more interesting. So, you can get achievements and titles in other dungeons?
***
– Here we are.
– Yes, thank you very much!
I paid the driver and got out of the cab.
– If you’re a tank, come on over and we’ll go to the dungeon right away!
– We need two hitlers! Fee as stones in double figures!
What was going on in front of the Blood Fox dungeon was very similar to a situation I had already seen at the Horned Rabbit.
I headed for the dungeon entrance. Ignoring the employee who gave me a strange look, I went inside. The first thing I did was to use my hiding skill, and then I went deeper into the dungeon.
Like the first time, I first watched the security personnel and the other Players before I started hunting.
Each fight here was easy for me. As I thought, there was no significant difference between this dungeon and the Horned Rabbit dungeon.
– On average, I get 180 points for killing one fox.
Compared, again, to the previous dungeon, it was 40 points more. It wasn’t that much of a difference for me, though.
I continued to hunt in automatic mode. And the number of bloody foxes began to thin out considerably. And after two hours…

– Oh, I managed to pump up my strength this time.
Apparently, depending on the rank increase different characteristics.

Seven hours later.

– Oh, still increased.
Also, the rank of “Assassin” has changed to “Blood Fox Maniac”. I needed more information, so I clicked on the new rank.
[Blood Fox Maniac (Rare)]
– Increases strength by 2.
– Can be upgraded to “Heroic” level.
– Heroic level?
So the rare level isn’t the limit.
– Then I want to raise it some more!
No doubt it will help me a lot in the future. But I suddenly felt fatigue coming over me.
– Hmm, I need to get some rest.
First I need a good relaxation, and tomorrow I will go back and continue what I started. At the same time I gathered the stones that were scattered around.
– О?
While I was picking up the stones, something appeared before my eyes.
– What was it? A book of skills?
Yes, it was indeed a book. I reached out my hand and took it.
[Tough Body (low level)]
– Passive ability:
– Makes bones, muscles, skin stronger.
[Skill already learned. You cannot re-learn it.]
– А?
The skill book I saw after I killed the bloody fox turned out to be a low level passive skill, Tough Body, which I already had.
– If I had known I could get it, I wouldn’t have bought it.
I was the kid who spent 11,990,000 points to buy that skill. And I took it for safety, but who knew I could get it that easily.
– Then it was time to sell it!
Even though it was a low-level skill, I could get at least tens of millions for this book. I picked it up, then used the special Trade skill and finally got my Wizarding Skill book back. After which, satisfied, I headed towards the exit.
***
– Please put the stones and other items you received in the right-hand basket,” the employee told me at the entrance on the other side of the gate.
As told, I put the stones and the Book of Skills in the basket and went through the x-ray inspection, calmly, as I was not wearing any items other than my armor and weapons. The only problem was that I had to put the studied item in the basket.
– The skill book?
You couldn’t help but notice the surprise on the face of the employee in charge of getting Players in and out of the dungeon. Skill books were rare, though they did appear from time to time. So there was nothing wrong with the fact that the employee was surprised to find a Skill Book among other items. The only problem was the type of this book.
The book that was in the basket was ornate and had a blue cover. But it was very different from what a low-level book normally looks like: that one had a plain cover, and could be confused with ordinary books. Rare items are expensive, and they start at a hundred million.
– Oh, yes, we have a rare book here. I’ve never seen such a thing taken out of a dungeon before.
The staff member’s face was still confused. Rare skill books appear in mid-level dungeons. It was hard to say whether such a thing could appear in a low-level one, but it was clearly the rarest of cases. After all, Skill Books are formed from the remnants of the magic of the bodies of slain monsters. Consequently, anything you can get when you kill a monster comes from the remnants of its magic – the more magic left in the body, the higher the level of that item.
– Isn’t that weird? – I said, taking my things from the basket and hiding out of sight.
