The Adventurer System

"8hrs? Grim Draigh completed that quest?"

"The system is broken? Do they call this a survival quest? Supposedly this kind of quest should last 2 to 3 days, but 8 hours? This is insane?"

"Where that Grim Draigh? Why I can't see him in the guild selection?"

The comments of the other adventurers were quite right. Since the survival quest in the Nefas dungeon that consisted of many floors should last at least 5 days. This was how the moderators predicted the staying time of Grim Draigh, but for no good reason the Queen appeared and he easily defeated her.

Bam!

A decent woman hurriedly entered the transparent door, she was panting as she seemed immediately go to this room after she received the new notification.

"S-Sir Gin, do you see the new report about Grim Draigh?" Carol asked him while in her behind were the other moderators. They followed her to explain what exactly happened inside the Nefas Dungeon.

Gin was narrowly looking at the big screen right in front of him, he slowly nodded his head at them as he was well savvy about Grim Draigh's new achievement in the virtual world.

"Yeah, I could see it, Carol." He responded, then gradually took a glance at them. "Now, tell me, what's going on in the Nefas Dungeon? Why does the Queen appear at the very beginning?"

Carol gulped her saliva, as she saw Gin was really frustrated in this situation. Well, this was how Gin responded since the wealthy investors surely will ask for the meeting.

"T-The Queen-"

A man had cool black hair and crystal eyes intercepted Carol from explaining as he wanted to explain it by himself. On top of that, it appeared this man was well informed in this occurrence.

"We are still looking for the root reason why the Queen appeared after the red Minotaur was killed by Grim. We do not program the Queen to have a favorite guard, but as we can see Queen appeared because of that Minotaur. Honestly, sir Gin, we made Queen can kill all her guards in order to add more strength in her magical power." Naoko explained.

Gin believed in this man's words, as this was the top moderators they hired from America. "What are trying to say? There's a bug in the Nefas Dungeon?"

"No, there are no bugs that exist in the Nefas Dungeon, but I think because of the high magical power of Queen she had the ability to do her own will."

"We should fix this before the board members arrived." Gin ordered them and added. "Grim, giving us a lot of jobs but based on what I saw to him, Carol, you make sure you'll send the letter to him."

Carol nodded her head at him. "Yes. I have already done that, I sent him an invitation, but I hope Mr. Tusei isn't ahead of us."

Tsk!

Gin clicked his tongue after he remembered the old man's face inside his head. Well, Gin knew the difficulties of competing against Arashki Tusei. This old man was just not a successful investor, he was aggressive also. He didn't stop as long as he didn't claim what he really wanted. On top of that, being a wealthy businessman like him, he made a big influence, so Gin knew there was a dangerous scene that might happen.

"Carol just continues our job here, and we must show also how Grim Draigh defeated the Queen." Gin ordered her once again.

She slightly raised her brows j the order wasn't still clarified for her. "What do you mean about that, Sir Gin?"

He lightened his cigarette and slowly blew the white smoke above his head. "We need to show the fighting scene of Grim Draigh inside the Nefas Dungeon."

Naoko seemed to agree with Gin's decision. It was quite a strategy to wouldn't blame the moderators from this instance. Once they showed the Grim's expedition, the adventurers surely stop from complaining as they will see him use his pure strength to defeat the Queen. The downside was, they probably knew the exact way to defeat the dungeon boss.

"Sir Gin, once we do this, adventurers surely went to the Nefas Dungeon and will take a valuable item." Carol disagreed, knowing a new problem would arise.

"I know it, Carol, so your true job here is to reduce the loots in this dungeon." Gin responded.

"What about the dungeon time record? Grim Draigh probably sues us if someone beats his record." Naoko asked him, then took a glance at Grim that kept punching the monster's face.

Gin gently rubbed his chin while looking at Naoko. "The Queen is so strong, Naoko, it needed 5 adventurers who had a level of 40 before they were going to defeat it, take note, 5 of them should wear high-level armors. Grim Draigh isn't an ordinary adventurer his special."

It looked like Gin already found out how Grim Draigh transformed into a Minotaur. So at this point, he was eager to meet this adventurer personally.

"Everyone back to your work, Carol, do your job correctly, Naoko, after Grim leave the dungeon, reduce all the loots." Gin ordered them.

Naoko and Carol nodded their heads at him. "Leave this job to us, sir Gin, we won't fail this one." They said and left the place at once.

However, before Carol could step out of the door he told her something important that no one should know about it. "Carol, you know where the right place you should cut the fighting scene, we must still hide Grim's ability."

"What do you mean, sir Gin?" Carol wasn't aware of the [core devourer] skill of Grim.

"You'll find out once you review the fight, just cut it out, okay?"

"Yes, I'll do the job you order to me." Carol replied and leave the place with Naoko.

The light of the screen was gently touching his face. "Transforming into a monster that depending which type of monster's core did you eat. How did this adventurer learn this kind of overpowering skill?"

Red blood filled his eyes and also poured his silver-white hair. The Queen tried to protect herself but Yumiro's overwhelming strength dominated her. In her mind, if this adventurer hasn't had the ability of the red Minotaur she can easily push him back.

Swish!

To officially end the fight, Grim took a weapon out of his inventory. It was a sharp short weapon that had a red blade, then directly stabbed the Queen's head.

[You've successfully killed the boss of the Nefas Dungeon!]

[You've received 500 exp from killing the Queen!]

Ding!

[You've completed the Survival Quest!]

[You want to receive the rewards? Yes/No?]

Grim accepted the rewards without thinking too much.

Rewards

+12 free attributes

+7 skill points

+2000 experience

+1 instant item

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[Grim Draigh level 23 exp (200/2400)]

Finally, Grim took two levels with this expedition. On top of that, he easily spent the rewards he received. He placed +5 attributes in his intelligence, +4 in his dexterity, +3 in his vitality.

In his mind, he didn't need to upgrade his strength and agility for the time being as he could enhance it by using his skill [berserk] or [physical transmission]

"Hmmm..." Grim was slowly kneading his chin, thinking if he needed to use the skill points he received. "If I used this, I could get a new skill, but I'm not sure what kind of skill."

It took a few were moments. Before Yumiro decided to use his skill points. "Yes, I'll use it, there are four monsters who will head to this place. I should utilize it so I have any skills that can help me in any instance."

[You want to use your skill points? Yes/No]

"Yes!"

[New skill acquired!]

[Tempest] - One-handed/ two-handed sword, by pointing your weapon from above you could cast a raining sword. Mana cost: 150, casting duration 3.01 seconds, skill duration 25 seconds, skill range 8 meters radius.]

For the first time, he received a skill that will take a lot of his mana. Aside from that, this was his first Aoe skill that could kill the monsters gathering in one position.

"Finally-" Yumiro noticed the ring and blue robe on the ground left by the Queen. "Item drop?"

[Queen's magical robe- this robe had +102 defensive magic, +15 physical defense. And can help you to regenerate your magical power +4 mana each second]

He placed the robe inside his inventory, then blinked his eyes in confusion and dumbfounded at the ring on his finger. Its gem had different colors like blue, green, red, brown, gold, and dark.

[Elemental Ring- Item type <S+> by using this ring you could manipulate the 6 magic elements, fire, water, air, earth, dark, and light. To use it, imagine the magic you want to release.]

Thud!

He fell to the ground, as he remembered in order to learn the magical elements you need to enroll in the Adventurer Academy. Yet, by using this he didn't need to do that, also he can maximize the true potentials of the Kariki knife and Grete sword.

He wore the ring and pushed himself into a stood-up position. "Just imagine that skill I want to use?"

He closed his eyes, then recalled the exact skill that the Queen released.

[Dark orb]

And all of sudden, dark magic was concentrating in his left hand. He was worried as he wasn't in control of his hands.

Yumiro stopped his hand from moving, until... It he swayed it in a different location and the explosion transpired.

Boom!

Even though his [Dark orb] wasn't like how the Queen skill, still, he knew it was destructive skills.
