Chapter 16

"Alright, preparations complete."

The next day.

I arrived at the Dream Dungeon and immediately started tackling it using the method I devised yesterday.

"Dungeon teleport. Dungeon teleport. Dungeon teleport. Dungeon teleport. Dungeon teleport."

Over and over and over again.

I repeatedly activated the dungeon teleport, clearing the dungeon at super speed.

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

I completed 11 runs in the blink of an eye.

During one of the runs, I had a close encounter with another party of adventurers. I managed to escape the scene at full speed before they could confirm my identity, but it was quite a close call.

The male adventurers suddenly falling from the sky... I wonder what they thought when they saw me.

It's very intriguing, but at the same time, I'm afraid to ask.

Oh well, let's just forget about it!

Anyway, I thought it might be a good idea to wear something that can hide my face when I want to level up quickly in the future.

"Alright, let's keep going."

Since I arrived early in the morning, even after repeating the dungeon runs so many times, it wasn't even noon yet.

I still had some time before my concentration reached its limit.

I thought that at this rate, I could easily aim for 20 runs.

"Dungeon clearance reward: Level up by 7."

The 12th run.

After defeating the boss, the harpy, the usual system sound indicating a level up rang in my head.

However, an unexpected phenomenon occurred right after that.

"You have cleared this dungeon the required number of times."

"Bonus reward: Level up by 20."

"From now on, you will not receive any rewards for clearing this dungeon."

"…What is this?"

It was a system sound I had never heard before.

Required number of times? Bonus reward? What is this all about?

Many questions came to mind, but before I could think about them, the teleportation magic for returning activated, and I was forced out to the surface.

There, I paused my dungeon runs and thought about what had just happened.

"Regardless of the required number of times, I've heard of bonus rewards before…"

Bonus rewards are given when you defeat a dungeon boss under unusual circumstances.

For example, the dream dagger I often use was a bonus reward for clearing the Dream Dungeon for the first time and solo.

There are also various other situations where bonus rewards are given, such as defeating an extra boss that is stronger than the usual boss, or defeating the final boss of a collapsing dungeon.

So, bonus rewards themselves are not particularly special.

"In that case, what's more concerning is this."

What caught my attention were the words "required number of times" and the statement "From now on, you will not receive any rewards for clearing this dungeon."
