Leveling

It's hard to keep dodging with her body in pain, but Jin Woo can't

ignoring the next step he should take.

If he lost consciousness now, it would all be over.

‘... 178,179,180!’

After waiting for a 3-minute timer on the Cerberus buff, Jin Woo activates the trump card that has been

prepare before the fight.

‘Receive 1 Gift!’

He purposely holds on to the first gift of his daily duties, especially for an event like this.

[Gift 1]

[Recovery status has been accepted]

woooshis!

Blue light covered his body and restored his body completely.

[Health: 3,602/3,602]

His injured shoulder and arm also healed.

"This is my chance!"

At a close enough distance, the two held on to each other, even Cerberus, with all his agility,

unable to evade Jin Woo's attack.

After recovering all his strength and stamina, Jin Woo deftly maneuvers in

around Cerberus' head, put it in lockdown with his left arm; it was a maneuver

the same one he used against Casaka.

With his right arm, Jin Woo began to mercilessly stab the middle of the animal's neck

the beast repeatedly.

stab! stab! stab!

After ending his angry state, Cerberus felt pain and thrashed,

trying to get Jin Woo off his back.

yelp! whimpers! whimpers!

Just like before, Jin Woo survives with all his strength.

As Cerberus moved back and forth, he tightened the grip on his neck and

keep stabbing.

stab! stab! stab!

The beast continued to whimper in pain and tried desperately to bite Jin Woo,

but the fight ended at this moment.

stab! stab!

Casaka's Poisoned Fang moved past the throat of the ferocious beast and headed towards its heart.

stab! stab! stab!

The light of struggle in Cerberus' eyes began to fade.

whimpers…

Finally, the head of the beast went limp.

ring ~!

[You have defeated the Gatekeeper of Hell, Cerberus]

[You level up!]

[You level up!]

[You level up!]

[You level up!]

Jin Woo has levelled up four times in one go.

It was a tough fight.

Jin Woo makes sure that the life of the beast has really been lost before

release neck.

Cerberus' body slumped to the ground without life.

thud

Jin Woo bowed with both hands.

"Huh ..."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking that he would face monsters that could use skills.

If not for the trump card he had prepared, he would have been the one on the ground

at present.

Thinking of this made Jin Woo shudder with goosebumps.

‘Ah .. item ..’

What kind of item would he get after all this work?

Jin Woo sighed once more and extended his hand towards the corpse.

ring ~!

[You've found the "Gatekeeper's Hall"]

[Do you want to get it?]

[You have found the "Lock of the Palace Gate"]

[Do you want to get it?]

[You have found "Cerberus’ Molar "x3]

[Do you want to get it?]

‘Take everything’

[Gatekeeper Chalong]

[Rarity: A-rank]

[Type: Necklace]

[Agility +20, Sense +20]

[Cerberus 'Mollars]

[Scan: Nothing]

[Type: Garbage]

[Castel Gate Lock]

[Rarity: A-rank]

[Type: Lock]

[This is the key to the gate of the Demon Castle]

[Acquired after killing Gatekeeper]

"Whoa."

Jin Woo is very happy.

'Increase twenty agility and sense stat points?'

The necklace stats were amazing, suitable for an A-Rank item.

It was the highest ranked equipment he had seen so far.

"It makes sense that this was obtained after such a fight ..."

If anything, he would get angry if his scarcity level was low.

However, looking closer at the necklace, Jin Woo hesitated.

A round golden bracelet with soft-tipped spikes sticking out around it, it was clear

dog collar.

"Hm ..."

After pondering over it with his eyes closed, Jin Woo gave up and brought it closer to his neck.

A message appeared in response.

ring ~

[Do you want to use the "Gatekeeper Necklace"?]

He hesitated again.

"…Yes.Yes."

Then the necklace slowly disappeared from his hands.

["Gatekeeper Necklace" has been used]

"Huh?"

Jin Woo quickly opened his stat screen.

Statisticians

Power: 60

Constitution: 39

Agility: 80

Intelligence: 37

Sense: 67

(Available stat points: 0)

Physical Damage Reduction: 20%

"Oh, wait!"

Agility stat and its sense increased by 20 points.

He felt around his neck, no sign of a necklace there.

It seemed like wearing items through the System did not have to physically place them.

He was relieved that he did not need to walk around while wearing a dog collar.

"Next, molars"

Jin Woo opened the shop.

Each of those molars sold for 150 thousand gold.

After selling 3 molars, Jin Woo has earned 450 thousand gold pieces.

[Gold Current: 562.362]

"Waste like this is expensive?"

His first fight had given him an idea of the difficulty of this Dungeon.

The Demon Castle won't be easy.

But this is not bad news for Jin Woo.

Just by dropping a single monster, he had already obtained four times the amount of gold he had

he got it in his first Instant Dungeon.

At this rate, he would definitely be able to purchase some top-tier items from the System.

"As long as I can clean up this place ..."

Jin Woo stared at the burning tower.

The flare!

The top of the tower is obscured by a strange mist.

The only way to see what is above is to climb the tower from the inside.

Jin Woo shook his head at that thought.

'No. It's too early for me"

After all, he had just managed to defeat the Gatekeeper, and that was kaeena buff Title and trick

using daily Quest rewards.

No one knows what's waiting behind that door.

For now, it's time to step back.

But one thing is certain.

The Demon Castle Key was indeed something he wanted.

Random Box's description of happiness is not wrong.

Leveling up,item, and even gold, everything he wanted could be found in this place.

Once he has the power, he will be able to get it all.

Tap not today.

Regretfully, Jin Woo saved the key back to his storage.

'I'll be back.'

It was a promise he would keep.

Jin Woo turned around with a smile on his face.

The next few days passed without incident.

Yoo Jinho kept calling her every day to check on her status.

“Hyungnim! It's me, Yoo Jinho"

"Make it short."

"Yes, hyungnim."

The young man told him that he was diligently working to assemble a team.

Party Raid would be over soon, so she repeatedly asked Jin Woo to wait a little longer.

"She must be afraid I'm going to back down."

But there was no way Jin Woo would wait lazily while Yoo Jinho finished his task.

So today, like the last few days, Jin Woo visited Hunter's website.

He continuously checked the job board, but as expected, there was no Raid

the one who received the Rank-E Hunter.

His trip with Hwang Dongseok was a lucky one.

Even if that bastard has evil plans in mind, but still Jin Woo can

doing a private Raid.

"Luckily, I can earn money, level up, and even gain new Skills"

Wait, am I really grateful to Hwang Dongseok?

Jin Woo groaned.

However, even if it was with more lizards, he wanted to return to the Dungeon.

Can't do a private Raid, no calls from the Association, and no keys from

Daily quest.

Jin Woo hates wasting time like this.

growls…

"Is it time to eat?"

Jin Woo steps away from looking at the job board and goes to the kitchen.

The fridge is empty.

"..."

He has been distracted by so many things lately and forgot to go shopping.

"I think I'll do it today."

He closed the refrigerator while yawning.

________________________________________

One of the few benefits of her outdated apartment is that it is

close to the big supermarket.

Jin Woo turns into something comfortable and goes out.

It takes 10 minutes to walk to reach the store.

The large interior of the shop greeted him as he walked in.

Since there were no sales, there were fewer people around than usual.

Jin Woo picked up the basket and started walking down the hallway.

Being the only man in the house after his mother fell ill, going shopping was

routine experience for Jin Woo.

"Nobody really caught my attention"

He stared at the potion while thinking about dinner.

"Young man, is your body feeling better?"

Jin Woo turned towards the friendly voice.

'Who?'

Because of his high sense status, he knew that there was another Hunter nearby, but because

this store is a place where many people, including Hunters, will shop, he does not

care too much.

He didn't expect Hunter to actually talk to him, but it was someone who

he's familiar.

"Song-ssi ahjussi?"

Jin Woo welcomed her.

Song-ssi ahjussi, aka Song Chiyeol, looks at Jin Woo with a mixture of surprise and happiness.

"I've heard that you're fine, but seeing you now, I can't

trust him"

Song Chiyeol is fascinated by how quickly Jin Woo recovers.

Ashamed of the man staring at her, Jin Woo scratched his temple.

Song Chiyeol continued,

"I should have gone to see you myself, but those bastards in the Association, I don't know what

all they think about is putting a moratorium on the incident, and I have no way to

call you.I trust Ms. Juhee is also eager to hear about you”

"Juhee-ssi?"

"She said she was going to retire, but still went to the Raid last week to catch a glimpse of you"

"Last week…?"

Hearing Song-ssi's ahjussi explanation, Jin Woo learns that the day he did the Raid

with the Hwang Dongseok team is also the day that the Raid Association takes place.

"No wonder there is no longer a Raid from the Association"

It wasn't that they hadn't contacted him, but, he had missed it.

A little mystery has been solved by Jin Woo.

Song Chiyeol continued to observe Jin Woo's figure with an amazed expression.

‘Is Sung-ssi always this big? His leg should have been ... '

Song Chiyeol's gaze fell to the bottom of Jin Woo.

Eyes widened.

"Young ... are your legs ...?"
