Level 1 Player (MT Novel) - Chapter 17
Chapter 17 – First Achievement (Part 2)
– Good profit,” I smiled.
I successfully sold the skill book, as well as the stones I had left. I managed to get 840,000 won* for them, which is a pretty decent amount of money.
(P.P.: Approximately $747.)
Moreover, the stones that I sold were of the lowest level. But that didn’t stop me from getting so many zeros out of the auction.
– At this rate, I could make one million a day.
That would be a really good source of income. If you went hunting every day without interrupting your rest, you could raise thirty million in a month. And even three hundred million and five thousand in a year.
(P.p.: Approximately $260,000.)
– I think I’m already a top player,” I said, smiling with all my thirty-two teeth.
After all, by earning points, I quickly increased all of my stats. Killed two birds with one stone! But it wasn’t really that surprising. Normally it took the players an average of five minutes to kill one monster, but compared to me, it was as if they were trying to do away with it with a single knife.
Maybe if there were more monsters in the dungeon, there would be more money to be made. As far as I’m concerned, those monsters aren’t enough. Also, if you compare me to other low level Players, I kill monsters quickly and get all the stones on my own. They, on the other hand, band together and fight a single monster for a much longer period of time in order to get a single stone.
In order for a Player to earn as much as I did, he must be at least of medium level. And I myself am infinitely happy that I have no competition in this territory.
– It’s not much.
Even after I changed the construction site to a dungeon and started earning millions, the money was still not enough. I had to get stronger as soon as possible. Increase my sales, accumulate the right amount of points, and buy the coveted “Elixir” that would help my father. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the past, when my father was healthy and always made my mother and sister smile. Of course, I wanted my family to smile even now, only more sincerely, like before.

The next morning came, and I headed back to the dungeon of the Blood Fox.
– Well, time was taking too long.
The dungeon I needed was quite far from where I lived. There were certainly dungeons near the dorm, too, but at a higher level. I wished I could move closer to the Blood Fox dungeon. But I didn’t have much money right now. That’s the word “not at all.” Even if I had, I’d have to think about my actions a few times, because I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life hunting only there.
– Maybe I should get a room at some motel nearby…
It seemed pretty reasonable to me now. When I arrived at my destination, I immediately began my hunt. After a snack of kimpab, which I had prepared in advance, I went back to the hunt. Today all my thoughts were on upgrading my title to Heroic.
I had spent most of the day in the dungeon, but the title was not so easy to obtain. I couldn’t wait to fix it, so I continued to slash left and right with my sword almost without rest. How long had it been?
[Incredible Achievement (Heroic)
You killed 5,000 bloody foxes of various levels by yourself.
Reward: Rank [Blood Fox Slayer (Heroic Level)]
[First Heroic Level (Heroic) Achievement]
You have attained the first heroic level achievement.
Reward: Rank [First Heroic Level Achievement (Heroic)]
I finally managed to pump up my rank. But it didn’t end there.
– I got the first heroic level achievement?
I didn’t know what that was because I had never heard of it before.
– So I got a rare level achievement? Is a heroic level achievement the first heroic level achievement ever?
If it is the first heroic level achievement, then there are also the first low and rare level achievements.
– That’s surprising.

Although, if you think about it, I was able to get my first achievements quite simply, you might say, in a slightly fraudulent way. But if I hadn’t done that, things wouldn’t have been so smooth. No, I would even say that getting such achievements was an almost impossible challenge. There was one person who could do it, though.
I was upset that I couldn’t get the first low level achievement and the first rare one, but I still thought about the result of my efforts. Namely, that through little tricks I could get an even higher level achievement!
– I have enough problems myself, so what’s the big deal?
Would I be able to reach that level if I didn’t use my ingenuity?
– I had to look at the status window.
I wanted to see with my own eyes the result of my actions.

– What is it?
I was so surprised that I couldn’t put my thoughts together. Every characteristic increased by 20! I clicked on the new rank.
[Reached first heroic level (heroic)]
– Increases each characteristic point by 20.
I seemed to stop breathing. Did every characteristic get pumped up? In total, my characteristics increased by 100.
“The level must have gone up twenty times, since I was able to get so many perks.”
– Hmm, can I get a higher level?
Unfortunately, it was already the highest. I poked at the rank of Blood Fox Fighter.
[Blood Fox Fighter (heroic level)
– Increases strength by 4.
– Can upgrade to “Legendary.”
– Wow.
Turns out all it took was literally one rank and the strength went up another 4. But I wasn’t that surprised anymore after seeing the increase of each characteristic point by 20. But something did catch my eye.
– It’s possible to level up to “Legendary.”
This is an important detail. Because now I’m sure that the “Heroic” level isn’t the ceiling yet, so the next step is “Legendary”. So I decided to compare “Reached First Heroic Level” and “Blood Fox Fighter”. Despite the fact that both of these ranks were heroic level, they differed in the parameter of increasing characteristics and development.
– Thus, it was not possible to improve the rank “Reached the first heroic level”.
My heart was racing. A rank was not something that could be improved just by snapping a finger. Everything has a limit.
– So I might as well get something like “First Legendary Level Achieved.
That title increased each characteristic point by 20. Then what happens if I do get a legendary level rank? I could definitely get a lot more.
– I’m going to go to the dungeon again tomorrow.
I wanted to continue hunting today, but there was nothing reasonable about it. In all this time I was very tired and I just wasn’t able to hunt anymore. So I staggered very slowly toward the exit.
– Oh, and it wasn’t even dark yet.
I arrived at the dungeon early in the morning. However, it’s also morning now. It looked like I had spent a whole day in the dungeon.
Taking my feet in my hands, I headed for the dormitory.
***
It was morning again the next day. I packed up my belongings and moved into a motel room not far from the Blood Fox dungeon. I wasn’t even bothered by the fact that I would have to pay for a motel room as well as a dorm room. It was more important to me to save time so that I could spend it on getting something I could make a good living out of.
I hunted all day long, occasionally pausing only for a snack. Occasionally I would come across a Book of Skills, but for the most part it was the knowledge I already had. So I registered them on the market. I kept the ones I hadn’t yet learned. And after ten days of hunting I finally got the coveted title.
[Incredible Achievement (Legendary)]
You killed 10,000 bloody foxes of different levels alone
Reward: Rank [Executioner of Blood Foxes (Legendary Level)]
[First Legendary Level Achievement (Legendary)]
You have gained your first legendary level achievement.
Reward: Rank [First Legendary Level Achievement (Legendary)]
– Dang, I thought I was going to die while I was getting this rank. But I did it!
I managed to get two legendary ranks in one go.
– I urgently need to take a look at the status window,” I said, gaunt from ten days of mopping up to the point where my skin was literally stuck to my bones.

– Wow!
Every point of characterization went up 40. Another Player in my position could have gone up 40 levels after a few days of grueling work. I decided to find out more about legendary ranks, so I poked at the first one I saw.
[Achieved first legendary level (legendary)]
– Increases each characteristic point by 40.
– Ha ha ha! – The smile didn’t come off my face. – I was able to get both the heroic level rank and the legendary level rank!
In total, I managed to increase my characteristics by 300.
– Amazing. I never thought I would be able to reach the highest, “Legendary” level.
A ray of hope lit up in me, and I immediately moved on to the next rank.
[Executioner of Blood Foxes (Legendary)
– Increases strength by 8.
– There is no way to improve the level.
– Sadly,” I muttered, saddened that there was no way to upgrade the ranks of Blood Fox Executioner and first legendary level attainer. – Okay, that was a piece of cake.
I didn’t regret it that long, though. Since the hunting grounds were all over the place, it was easier for me, because I had such award titles as assassin, maniac, slayer, and executioner.
And so, after packing up all my belongings, I finally moved closer to the Horned Rabbit dungeon.
