Level Up
Chapter 2 Part 2
[Previous] [Table of Contents] [Next]
In an average dungeon, there are about 10 different creatures scattered around. It was also possible that there might have been over 20 creatures in the dungeon, but that was very rare.
So there was an amount of 10-20 thunder dragonflies in this level of the dungeon.
Chang Soo approached Hyunsuk while he was pulling out the magical stone from the dragonfly.
“This dungeon… are you ever planning to clear it?”
“Of course I’m going to clear it. Isn’t it obvious?”
“Yeah it is… but…”
Chang Soo looked at Hyunsuk doubtfully. What he said was true though.
The difference between clearing a dungeon and not clearing it was immense.
A player increases his strength, power, and health by fighting the creatures in the dungeon. To put it in simpler, but more accurate terms, they deepen and increase the amount of how much they can take in.
The wider and deeper their bowl of strength absorption, the more power they are able to gain. And that plate did not grow gradually within time, but rather, it grew an immense amount when a creature was defeated.
Almost like breaking the old, smaller bowl and replacing it with a bigger, better one. When a player fights continuously with a monster in the dungeon, their power increases constantly.
When it piles up, that is how you continue to grow and deepen your bowl where your power is all held. But the time when you gain the most increase is when you cleared a level. That was when an uncontainable amount of power flowed through your body.
That was why it was a given thing that a dungeon was cleared by a player. But right now, there was something different about the dungeon.
“You’re really going to give up this golden opportunity of a dungeon? Are you serious?”
If you didn’t clear the dungeon within a given amount of time, naturally, the monsters and creatures in that dungeon would regenerate.
The reason why these people were called players was because they were successfully able to clear the level and survive the danger. They were playing with fire. Gambling with their lives. They were different from everybody else.
Finding a dungeon with these many thunder dragonflies was harder to do than picking a star from the sky.
Of course, making a dungeon level like this last as long as possible was more advantageous for the player. Just like what Hyunsuk was doing right now.
Hyunsuk did not reply to Chang Soo’s question. Instead, he continued to hack apart the thunder dragonfly.
The most important part of the dragonfly was the magical stone it held and the second was the pouch of thunderbolt power it held in its chest. The third thing that was worth something was its wings. Lastly, the hexagon shaped eyes it possessed also held a big amount of worth.
Everything else on the dragonfly was basically useless.
Compared to other creatures in the dungeon, the thunder dragonfly did not have many useful parts to it. But because the magical stone it carried held a great value to it, it didn’t matter much.
The thunderbolt power pouch and the hexagon shaped eyes were also worth a lot of money.
Hyunsuk carefully dissected these things from the dragonfly and put them into his bag. He put the green fluid filled eyes away separately.
Truthfully, as important as the magical stone was to him, the green fluid was probably the most important thing that Hyunsuk needed.
“You’re really closing this dungeon?”
“After I hunt all the dragonflies that are left and kill the boss, I’m going to clear the dungeon.”
All Chang Soo did at these words was shake his head. By dragging it out even more, they would be able to make more money, but it seemed like Hyunsuk wasn’t going to take the full advantage of it.
‘Now that I think about it… I don’t even know how much money he’s going to share with us…’
Chang Soo became angry. His group was being used like slaves by Hyunsuk and there was no guarantee that they would be receiving any money in compensation for the damage that came to them.
‘Should I just snitch to the Dungeon Headquarters?’
He quickly threw that thought away. Chang Soo already knew that he’d face the bigger problems if he ran his mouth in that way.
There was nothing he could do. He was out of answers.
From afar, Chang Soo could see another thunder dragonfly coming towards their way. All he could do was let out a loud sigh.
It was time to fight again.
*
BANG!
Watching the dungeon doors close was always a fascinating and wonderful thing to do.
Just like when glass breaks into little pieces, the dungeon world collapsed into pixel like pieces and rained down. The pieces that fall down would turn into a whirlwind and blow and the pieces would break into something smaller. Those pieces were forms of power, strength, and health that the players got at the end of their game.
Chang Soo was feeling every microscopic piece of energy being put into his body and he closed his eyes while exhaling.
These were the moments when Chang Soo knew that becoming a player was one of the best choices that he had ever made.
He felt like he was light enough to fly away, had the strength to achieve anything he wished for, and his body felt as if it was being washed from its dirtiness from the fights.
It was almost as if he was being reborn.
The shower of power ended. Chang Soo opened his eyes and looked around for Hyunsuk. His expression changed bizarrely.
‘What the hell is that…?’
Hyunsuk’s expression was very weird. Actually, it was pretty funny to look at.
‘What kind of an expression is that? I can’t even put it into words.’
If he was to explain, it was like looking at a person who’s never seen a dungeon be cleared before.
But that wasn’t the only thing. There was something more behind Hyunsuk’s expression.
Whether it was admiration or surprise, it was hard for Chang Soo to tell.
“What are you going to do now? Are you going to go sell all those things that you got?”
Chang Soo was slightly worn out. He felt like his power capacity increased greatly as the dungeon was cleared but something also felt a bit off.
That’s why it was the best idea for them to get checked up at the Dungeon Headquarters. He would do that after.
“We’re moving onto the next dungeon.”
When they heard those words, Chang Soo and his group members already knew that their hunt would not come to an easy end.

I think that MC was a player for only a short time before whatever incident blinded him. He then somehow became something like a blind samurai. So he literally hasn’t seen a dungeon being cleared before now.

your answer made sense… he’s blind so of course he would be fascinated with the scene of clearing the dungeon though he experienced it already..
