Chapter 77

The day after going to the dungeon with Hua, Yui, and Rei, I found myself at the C-rank dungeon, the [Shinmi Dungeon].

Similar to the Magic Wolf Dungeon, monsters that use magic appear here, but thanks to the True Magic Wolf Ring and the overwhelming level difference, I was able to clear it without taking much damage. As usual, I used the dungeon transfer to speed through the rounds.

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 12]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 12]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 12]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: ……

I continued the rounds for two days straight, progressing without any particular issues.

[You have cleared this dungeon the required number of times]

[Bonus Reward: Level increased by 25]

[You will no longer receive rewards for clearing this dungeon in the future]

"Eight down. Things are going smoothly."

In total, I was able to level up by 625 in the Shinmi Dungeon. I decided to keep pushing forward at this pace.

The next day, I tackled a D-rank dungeon.

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 6]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 6]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 6]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: ……

[You have cleared this dungeon the required number of times]

[Bonus Reward: Level increased by 10]

[You will no longer receive rewards for clearing this dungeon in the future]

In total, I leveled up by 310. The next day, after clearing this, I started to tackle another E-rank dungeon.

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 2]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 2]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 2]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: ……

Since it was an E-rank dungeon, the number of rounds was significantly higher than other dungeons. But I continued diligently without giving up. Finally, the moment arrived.

[You have cleared this dungeon the required number of times]

[Bonus Reward: Level increased by 5]

[You will no longer receive rewards for clearing this dungeon in the future]

"Finally, it's over!"

Having completed the tenth dungeon, which was my goal, I couldn't help but express my joy with all my might. Despite the physical fatigue, I was releasing the pent-up emotions from the mentally grueling rounds.

Beside me, I recalled the content of the Dungeon Conqueror title.

--------------------

Dungeon Conqueror (10/10)

- A title given to those who have cleared dungeons.

- Various benefits are granted upon clearing a specific number of dungeons.

--------------------

This title states that various benefits are granted upon clearing a specific number of dungeons. And just now, I cleared the tenth one.

Would new effects be added to the title, or would I gain some new skill? I had been eagerly waiting to see what benefits would be granted. It was fine to just enjoy the moment without thinking about it.

"Well, what exactly will I get? With the dungeon transfer, I was able to clear it in a few months, but under normal circumstances, it would be an extremely difficult condition. I should get something really good..."

I held such expectations in my heart. However, the actual benefits granted were completely different from what I had imagined.

[Your number of cleared dungeons has reached 10]

[As a benefit, you are granted the right to challenge the Extra Dungeon [Isolated Magic Tower]]

"…What?"

I couldn't understand the content announced by the system sound and involuntarily tilted my head. The right to challenge the Isolated Magic Tower, you say?

The system sound continued, not in response to my question.

[Your current status has been input]

[You cannot level up until you challenge the Isolated Magic Tower]

[The internal information of the Isolated Magic Tower will be adjusted according to your status]

[ERROR. The Isolated Magic Tower does not exist. You are confirmed to be the first challenger in the world]

[The Isolated Magic Tower will be generated]

The next moment, the entire dungeon—no, the entire world—shook.

"Wh-What!?"

However, there was no way to confirm what was happening while I was inside the dungeon. I had to endure the shaking for several minutes until it stopped.

When the shaking subsided, the system sound resumed.

[The generation of the Isolated Magic Tower is complete]

[We await your challenge]

The system sound did not continue further. Instead, a piece of paper fell in front of me.

"This is…?"

Using identification, I was able to read the information.

--------------------

Challenge Ticket to the Isolated Magic Tower

Target: Rin Amasato

- A ticket given to those who have cleared 10 dungeons.

- By breaking this ticket near the Isolated Magic Tower, you can challenge it once.

--------------------

"To be honest, I haven't fully processed the information yet… but basically, I have to use this to challenge the Isolated Magic Tower, right?"

Frankly, I had no obligation to accept such an unclear invitation, but the problem was the one statement made by the system sound. Not being able to level up until I challenge the Isolated Magic Tower is a significant issue. In the end, I have no choice but to challenge it.

"Still, what exactly is the Isolated Magic Tower? I've never heard of such a word, and I don't know where it is, so I can't go there… Ah, finally, the transfer magic is activating."

Was it related to the inexplicable shaking? The transfer magic activated much later than usual, and I returned to the surface.

And I was taken aback.

"What is that…?"

I was speechless at the sight before me. Not just me, but everyone around me was looking in the same direction with wide eyes.

Rising far in the distance was a massive tower that seemed to pierce the sky. It didn't exist yesterday, no, just a little while ago.

While no one in the world knew its true nature, I alone knew.

"That is the Isolated Magic Tower… the dungeon I will challenge from now on."

And I would begin to challenge it the next day, and discover the true meaning of dungeon clearing.

Thus, the [Extra Dungeon: Isolated Magic Tower] chapter begins.
