Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

after everything is gone

Beneath the message announcing the success of clearing the hidden dungeon, the accompanying rewards were listed.

To recover, Dojin drank a bottle of healing potion and mana potion and read them.

[You have attacked the Hidden Dungeon ＜Magic Workshop Encroached by Evil＞ for the first time.]

[You have completely conquered the Hidden Dungeon ＜Magic Workshop Encroached by Evil＞.]

There is no law that the first discoverer will soon become the first attacker.

Even if it’s the same dungeon, depending on the process of clearing, the result of clearing can change.

In that respect, Do-jin’s attack on ＜Magic Workshop Encroached by Evil＞ was perfect.

He was the first discoverer and the first attacker.

This alone is the point at which bonus points are added to the reward.

However, Dojin added to it that both the attacking process and the result were perfect.

It was only natural that the bonus added to the reward doubled.

[Accomplishment ＜Eradication of Demons＞]

[Achievement Reward: Bonus Points +5]

[Experience gained will increase with the First Clear Bonus.]

[Acquisition of EXP increases with the Perfect Clear Bonus.]

… … .

I got bonus points for achieving achievements, and I also got a lot of experience points.

Since he had reached level 35, he had risen 3 levels in an instant.

Users who normally wander around hunting grounds had to stop eating and drinking for 10 days before going from 32 to 35.

It was hard work, but this was not enough for experience points alone, so it was an overflowing reward.

Even the rewards didn’t end here.

LOST is a game that treats ‘firsts’ very much.

Of course, this also applies to dungeon raids, and only for the first raid, among the items obtainable in the dungeon, one item of the highest grade is guaranteed.

It means that once attacked and turned into a regular instance dungeon, you can definitely get items that might be hard to see even if you go around 10 or 100 times.

‘Even if it’s a level 30 dungeon, the puckle reward will be A-class.’

Anticipating, Do-jin approached to check the item that had fallen to the place where the magic circle was.

Then, there were two items that were different from each other, emitting a blue light.

One was a first clear bonus, and one was probably a perfect clear bonus.

[Robe stained black]

Grade: B

Equip Restriction: Level 35│Intelligence 120

[A robe made to work in places with high mana pollution.

It has a fairly decent level of physical defense and magic defense.]

Physical Defense +30

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Magic Defense +30

Intelligence +10

One was a magician’s robe.

The bonus stats were mediocre, but the defense stats were high.

It was a really useful piece of equipment when you think of giving up wizard armor and forcing yourself to wear normal armor to supplement the startling mage’s miserable defense.

If you collect your survival stats on the ‘cloak’ side, you can freely choose the armor you wear inside.

‘Even if I use it roughly and sell it, it’ll be pretty good.’

Do-jin, who was satisfied with the robe, checked the next item.

This time, it was a sword with dark red blood on its blade.

[Suspicious Ritual Sword]

Grade: A

Equip Restriction: Level 35│Intelligence 135

[A ceremonial sword made for the execution of living sacrifices.

It was an ordinary sword, but it was imbued with magical power due to the grudges of countless victims.

However, it also has a corresponding level of curse, so you should be careful when using it.]

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Magic attack power +45

+45 intelligence

Physical attack power -30

Stamina -30

Wow.

Do-jin, who picked up the sword and checked the specifications, admired the shape of his mouth.

Its magic attack power and intelligence were nearly doubled compared to weapons available at similar levels.

It was also a good number to say that it was an A grade.

However, the penalty was huge as well as the ability to go up, but thanks to sucking up bonus points from all over the place, it was a penalty that Do-jin, who had higher stamina than most warriors, could afford.

dojin

Level: 35

Class: Book of Truth

Strength: 14

Agility: 18

Stamina: 82

Intelligence: 197

Skill: ( 1 ) [Open]

Attribute: ( 1 ) [Open]

The equipment he was wearing was a cheap weapon that only raised magic attack power by 10, let alone intelligence, and it was a beginner’s armor set that he received from the gateway at first, so the feeling of changing equipment was great.

‘There’s nothing particularly special about these two.’

Even if there was nothing special, the other items were not worthless.

If you combine the small items, including magic stones, which are money-making items, it seems like you’ve earned more than 1,000 gold even if you roughly catch it.

“Whoa, did I pack everything I needed?”

After putting all the loot in his inventory, Do-jin turned his head and looked at the passage on the other side of the magic circle.

It was a path that led to the space that the owner of the ＜Magic Workshop Encroached by Evil＞ used as a laboratory.

In fact, it can be said that this is where the final rewards for clearing the hidden dungeon are located, but Do-jin did not head straight to the passage.

‘Anyway, should I go in there with you?’

Do-jin also had a minimum conscience.

As much as Sisala suffered with him, he intended to take her with him.

Dojin retook his steps.

I tried to ignore it, but it seems that Sisala’s condition is not serious when I see the favorable rating that continues to go up and down.

‘If you think of the ups and downs of liking right now as emotional ups and downs… It would be fortunate if the fireball didn’t come flying as soon as I saw it.’

As I was thinking, I heard someone hurrying along the other side of the hallway.

“Whoops, whoops, whoops.”

The sound of rapid breathing belonged to a woman he had heard of and was familiar with.

what? How did you get in?

Ah, the dungeon raid was over and the door opened on its own!

Do-jin, who derived the answer to the question himself, quickly took the necessary action.

I stuffed the newly acquired robe into my inventory that I had been quickly equipping.

Then, with the most difficult expression on his face, he started acting while staggering against the wall.

After a while, as the distance got closer, Sisala’s steps slowed down.

I also became cautious.

She also felt the presence of this side and seemed to be on guard.

“Cool, cool.”

For her, Do-jin deliberately raised her voice.

To reveal that you are not an evil spirit.

Then the sound of footsteps that had been quiet in front became urgent again.

The first thing I saw was the mining area that Sisala must have made.

“Dojin, are you Dojin?”

Then I heard Sisala’s voice, and then I saw her appearing around the corner.

[Sissala Omen’s affinity has increased by 3 points to 36.]

Our eyes met.

At that moment, the sensitivity increased.

Seeing that he survived, his anger seemed to melt away in an instant.

Do-jin, who saw that, was heartbroken.

Seeing them so relieved and happy about their own survival, how… … .

[Sissala Omen’s favorability has decreased by 5 points to 31.]

[Sissala Omen’s favorability has decreased by 5 points to 26.]

After a moment of joy, Sisala’s eyes lit up.

After confirming that he was alive and well, it seemed that the anger he had been suppressing had suddenly exploded.

‘It’s f*cked up.’

Do-jin instinctively sensed the crisis.

“Sisal… la… … .”

I chose to faint.

Of course, I wasn’t really stunned.

It was just a performance of finding a safe comrade and letting go of the string of consciousness that was barely holding onto it.

“Do, Dojin!”

The effect was amazing.

Sisala, who was about to vent her anger, came running with a worried face.

It was worth banging my head on the floor to make a popping sound.

“Do-jin, Do-jin! Come to your senses!”

Sisala, who was holding her body and shaking her body, randomly opened the healing potion she had brought herself, tried to pour it, and threw it on the floor.

It was very small and even his voice was shaking, so I couldn’t hear it clearly, but I could tell that he was blaming himself.

“Ugh… … !”

In the end, Do-jin, who could not stand the stabbed conscience, opened his eyes with a moan.

As soon as he did, Sisala’s eyes trembled violently.

Tears don’t flow, but the eyes look like they’re crying.

“why… … .”

Should I say I’m lucky? The anger, once subdued, seemed to have lost its power.

As if he had lost the energy to formulate a specific question, Sisala asked in short words.

“why… Did you?”

“… Because it was something I had to do.”

Sisala’s armie frowned.

“You know that’s not what I’m asking. Why are you trying to handle it all by yourself?”

“I can die, but you can’t, Sisala.”

Sisala’s eyes widened.

Originally, it was on the big side, but now I wonder if it will roll off.

“I am a Regenian, you are not. Unlike me who has a next life even after death, death means the end to you. I couldn’t have borrowed your power to do something I judged myself reckless.”

“Ever since I decided to come here, I was prepared for that! Also, death doesn’t mean nothing to Regenian either. Even Regenian’s soul suffers irreversible damage. You haven’t been here in a while, don’t you know that?”

“I know.”

To Sisala, who was at a loss for words at the knife-like answer, Do-jin repeated.

“I know it too.”

“… … .”

“The scars that death leaves on the soul will one day fade away. But the wounds caused by the death of others do not heal. I know that, so I went alone.”

Fainting was acting, but what he said now was not acting.

Do-jin’s feelings were also conveyed to Sisala.

Words that only someone who has lost someone can say.

Sisala couldn’t blame someone who said those things with those eyes.

“… This is the last time. I will never come back to this place again. Rather than having another heart-throbbing experience like this, I’d rather be locked up in the Magic Tower for the rest of my life.”

After lowering his head and speaking weakly, a message followed that said that Sisala Omen’s favorability rating had increased.

* * *

“Wow… … .”

Sisala’s eyes were bright enough to make me wonder if she was the person whose tension had dropped just as low as before.

This is the final space of ＜The Magic Workshop Encroached by Evil＞.

The lab where the owner of this place lived had a look that would make a wizard drool.

“What kind of person was the owner here? The contents of the research are also the contents, but the equipment equipped is so amazing.”

What she looked at with admiration were equipment for magic experiments.

Various powders, reagents, and jewels that are difficult to distinguish at a glance.

A device for processing, synthesizing, and combining them.

Sisala looked at each one carefully and expressed admiration.

In the meantime, Dojin looked at other parts.

It was the magic books arranged and plugged into one side.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Most of them were pieces of paper that were useless to Do-jin and only contained information about magic.

However, after diligently searching, Dojin was able to find two magic skill books.

‘It’s a place with exclusive rewards for first clear users, so there’s no way this isn’t there.’

[3-Star Magic Skill Book: Earth Spear]

[3-Star Magic Skill Book: Gust]

Both books were skill books containing 3-star magic.

After taking the skill book, I’ve been looking around to see if there’s anything else.

‘That’s… … ?’

I could see black smoke pouring out from between the bookshelves.

Upon closer examination, it was a scroll made of leather.

However, the shape was unusual for a scroll.

It was a scroll that looked special even at a glance, folded in several layers as if dozens of thin leather sheets were glued together.

No, rather than scroll… It was an incomplete magic skill book.

It is said that these types of items are very different in shape, but Do-jin had seen many different things, so he could recognize them at a glance.

[You have acquired an incomplete skill book containing the magical phenomenon ‘Vicious Circle’.]

“During the process of amplifying and circulating grudges, evil spirits are endlessly being born. This isn’t magic. It is just a magical phenomenon created by overlapping coincidences. Damn, I wonder if I can fully document this near-miraculous phenomenon-”

[The record is cut off here. It seems that even the soul of the caster was used as a material for stuffing magical phenomena into the cursed scroll.

It contains an attempt to magically interpret the phenomenon of evil spirits being born by amplifying and circulating the resentment of the sacrificed victim.

When used, the skill 「Summon Demon」 can be obtained with a chance.]

Usage time limit: 59 seconds

A reward that could not have been obtained if the clearing was not completed in perfect shape before the explosion.

It was an item that organized the magical phenomena that occurred in the dungeon into ‘magic’.

However, the magic and skill books were incomplete, so it had to be left to chance whether or not a skill was developed.

In addition, the time limit was only one minute, so there was no opportunity to organize my thoughts and go to sleep.

‘If it’s not just imperfect, but it’s unstable, it could be f*cked… … .’

But you can’t make it disappear without writing it.

Without even tapping the calculator in his head, Do-jin instinctively used the unfinished skill book in his hand.

Then, the incomplete skill book scattered into a dark mist and created a complex magic circle.

Theories and formulas that form and then dissipate, connect and then disintegrate, and develop indiscriminately.

To put it likewise, it was similar to the sparkle you see when you press the boost button.

In that the slot machine is spinning on the other side, and success or failure is divided in the window where the result appears.

[Skill acquisition failed!]

And the result of this slot machine was a failure.

This type of item has been famous for its extreme odds from the beginning.

Veteran users like Dojin know that well, so they tend to be good at mind control even in these cases… silver horn.

‘f*cking my luck, this is a f*cking game!’

Dojin glared at the black smoke that faintly scattered like embers that were all going out.

It was then.

His magic circuit emitted a faint golden light.
