My Level Zero System

"Come here!"

Kain provoked the monster, luring it to a place narrow enough to force it to crawl straight.

As soon as the Skeleton lunges towards Kain, he will shoot an arrow. For this to have any chance of success, an accurate [Thunder Bullet] was necessary.

However, this is much more difficult to do than Kain imagined.

Kain tried three times, but each time he had to admit failure. Either because he missed, or because he chose the wrong moment.

In the end, Kain still had to flee outside the Dungeon to be able to cut off this Skeleton.

Kain was not very disappointed, because the difficulty of implementing the plan was like a fantasy.

I just hope that Skeleton centipede has moved to another area so that Kain can go deeper into the Dungeon.

The next morning, after eating a simple breakfast of dry food and water, Kain entered the Dungeon again.

Luckily, the Skeleton centipede was no longer there.

He kept walking along the path, eventually coming to a fork in the road, two identical paths appeared before Kain's eyes.

One on the left, one on the right.

Kain tried to evaluate the traces on these two paths, but he did not find anything positive.

This place has been through countless things.

So Kain gave up investigating, deciding to leave the choice to fate.

He held an arrow upright, then released his hand, causing the arrow to fall. If the arrow lands on any side, he will go to that side.

Arrow falls to the left.

He takes the right path.

Fate is a trick, isn't it?

Kain predicted that the journey up until now was most likely just the beginning of the Dungeon. It doesn't even count as "first floor".

This was most likely an official small-sized Dungeon, so Kain was extremely cautious.

The path Kain chose led him to a spiral stone staircase.

Dungeons are inherently considered creatures of nature, but there are architectures and designs that are quite oriented towards "intelligent creatures". This contradiction has caused many scholars to have headaches when thinking about the answer.

Kain didn't pay that much attention, he only knew that now he was officially entering the Dungeon.

Right from the moment he stepped down, Kain was shocked when he encountered another type of monster.

Reapers.

Reapers are monsters that have a shape quite similar to humans, it's just that Reapers' limbs are stretched abnormally, almost twice as long as a normal human's. They are very skinny, very ferocious, their weapons are fingers that have grown longer and curved like a sickle. Plus the torn skin looked like a straitjacket around this monster's body.

That's why they are called Reapers.

The advantage of this type of monster, in addition to being faster and stronger, is that the Reaper's sickle finger has the ability to cause necrotic wounds if cut.

If not treated promptly, the person injured by Reaper will even have to have the necrotic part cut off to avoid spreading to the whole body, or even die of the disease before being killed by necrosis.

A relatively dangerous monster, especially when you are not equipped with heavy armor.

A harsh sound of metal hitting each other rang out, the knife in Kain's hand successfully blocked Reaper's fatal attack.

[Thunder Bullet]

The lightning ball shot straight into Reaper's chest, immediately causing the monster's body to stop. It seems that although the Reaper's skin has strong fire and cut resistance, it cannot block lightning.

While the enemy was still motionless, Kain activated [Enhancement Body] and rushed forward. His blade cut across, instantly taking away Reaper's eyes.

It screamed in anger, only to be finished off by Kain's knife piercing through the temple.

Reaper's tall and thin body collapsed, Kain's breathing was also a bit disordered.

The last phase was very close. If he hadn't reacted in time, I'm afraid there would have been cuts on his face.

At that point, Kain is considered dead.

The only way to overcome Kain's ability to cause necrosis is [Life Magic] with the ability to heal and restore damage, or recovery drugs prepared from herbs. While Kain doesn't have those things.

Kain added one skill point to [Enhancement Tool], now he is only one skill point away from being able to get a new magic skill.

Kain looked at the motionless body of the Reaper and silently assessed.

Reaper and Skeleton are quite similar. Skeleton focuses on defense, while Reaper focuses more on attack. Kain estimates that if it's hunting, hunting Skeletons is still less risky than hunting Reapers.

But now Kain has no other choice.

A dungeon is not simply a cave that connects straight from beginning to end, it is more like a complex and intricate maze. The thorny cave walls, the gloomy light from the glowing grass, the suffocation of the enclosed space and the same everywhere. If you stay in this for a long time, you might even go crazy.

So to avoid getting lost, Kain must constantly mark his path.

Surprisingly, this floor does not have any Skeletons at all, mainly Reapers, Zombies and Slimes clinging to the cave walls are the main monsters. However, the number of Zombies here was much greater than in the previous Dungeon he had encountered. Each appearance appears in groups of about ten to twenty Zombies at the same time.

The number of Slimes is equally large, sometimes they even cling to cave walls and ceilings, just waiting for unfortunate prey to come forward to attack.

Thus, a single target like the Reaper becomes the easiest monster to hunt.

Faced with huge populations of Zombies and Slimes, Kain chose to avoid fighting and focus only on hunting and killing Reapers.

So after a few dozen minutes of wandering around, Kain finally killed another Reaper. Get the last skill point to get [Enhancement Tool]
