Chapter 39

The next day.

I arrived at the Kenzaki Dungeon, activated the dungeon transfer, and decided to start the challenge right away.

"Until the deepest level, I'll equip the short sword from Kikuchi instead of the nameless sword... Alright, let's go!"

Currently, when I activate the dungeon transfer, I can move up to 50 meters at once.

However, to save MP, I decided to transfer one floor at a time, just like before.

This way, I only need 4 MP to move down one floor.

Of course, there are times when monsters are present at the transfer destination, but at my current level, they are no match for me.

Orcs and Horn Rabbits can be defeated with a single strike, and Red Boars can be taken down with just a few sword strikes.

"Defeating level 300 monsters was a dream just a month ago."

While feeling nostalgic, I pushed forward, aiming for the deepest level.

I have no intention of being satisfied with this.

I want to become even stronger.

Including the time spent fighting monsters and collecting materials, it took me a little over 30 minutes to reach the deepest level. I switched to the nameless sword and challenged the High Orc.

By the third time, I had become accustomed to it and successfully defeated the High Orc without taking a single hit.

"Dungeon Boss defeated."

"Experience gained. Level up."

"Dungeon completion reward. Level up by 25."

As usual, my level increased as a reward for completing the dungeon, and I also received a Smoke Crystal and the Sword of Kenzaki.

However, I scratched my head in thought.

"Reward weapons are only useful once. I might be questioned about how I obtained them when I sell them. Crystals can be obtained from other dungeons, so they're not a problem..."

Ordinary adventurers can only complete a dungeon once a week, so they can only obtain the completion rewards at that frequency.

If I tried to sell dozens of rewards that can only be obtained from one dungeon, it would raise suspicions.

"The Sword of Kenzaki can be sold for about 150,000, but I don't want to deal with the hassle. I guess I'll have to give it up."

Instead, I decided to collect and sell the High Orc's crystal and the Red Boar's corpse.

I should be able to earn a decent amount just from that.

"The remaining issue... is about skills."

I opened my status screen and looked at the list of skills I possess.

I wanted to reconsider which skills to prioritize acquiring.

"Until now, I've focused on increasing the level of the dungeon transfer skill... but I can't keep doing that."

There are two main reasons for this.

The first is the increase in ability when raising the skill level, and the second is the consumption of SP.

First, regarding the increase in ability.

When I raised the skill level to 11 or 12, the growth did not match the SP used.

I expect a significant evolution at level 20, but that will take a long time to reach.

Second, regarding the consumption of SP.

The SP required to raise the dungeon transfer skill level is 500 SP for level 11, 1000 SP for level 12, and 1500 SP for level 13.

If this pattern continues, with an increase of 500 SP per level, it will take a total of 26,000 SP to reach level 20.

In terms of levels, that's 2600 levels. Not being able to raise other skills for that long is a bit of a problem.

Given these circumstances, I decided to stop raising the level of the dungeon transfer skill and allocate SP to other skills.

My immediate goal is to raise the levels of Power and High-Speed Movement to 10, and to acquire new skills like Detection, Stealth, and Status Resistance.

There are several dungeons I will face where brute strength alone won't be enough. I need to prepare to handle various situations.

"Once I can complete various dungeons, my level-up efficiency should improve. I'll raise the level of the dungeon transfer skill after that."

With this plan in mind, I took a 5-minute rest after returning to the surface and then challenged the Kenzaki Dungeon again.

"Dungeon completion reward. Level up by 25."

"Dungeon completion reward. Level up by 25."

"Dungeon completion reward. Level up by 25."

"Dungeon completion reward. ..."

In the end, I completed the Kenzaki Dungeon 12 times in one day.

I gained 301 levels and earned over 3 million yen in just one day.

If I continue to level up at this rate, where will I end up?

Even I don't know.
