Dungeon Diving

After Gilbert's Passing, Rune had aimlessly wondered around the village, seemingly deep within thought. After seeing nothing was going on, he decided to wonder out in the village and had done nothing but walk in a random direction. He wandered off without reason and continued until he noticed something peculiar.

Within his view. He saw a weird glowing light towards the distance, and interested by it, he decided to go towards it. The more he got close to the light, the more it turned weirder. It was littered with monsters so he had to kill it. Only earning him measly amounts of experience but it did not discourage him. He got close to what seems to be an entrance with it's center, a floating whirpool of glowing light. It shined a bluish glow and constantly rotating towards it's center.

『Fascinating...』He thought. The More he looked into it. The more he became curious, unable to hold back, he proceeded to touch the whirpool. It stopped, trembled and began opening itself. Revealing it's contents. It was a place. And Suddenly.

[You have discovered an Unknown Dungeon]

[Would you like to announce its presence?]

『No.』he said. He chose not to because it would ruin his exploration of this dungeon if people flock to this spot. He doesn't want to be caught in their line of sight.

[Do you wish to enter the Dungeon?]

『Yes.』he said.

[Choose which Difficulty would you like to enter?]

[Easy | Normal | Hard | Insane | Hell]

Looking at each difficulty, he wondered for awhile before choosing Hell difficulty, just for the sake of challenge.

[You have entered the Dungeon.]

Everything around him went dark at first, seconds later the whole thing showed itself. It was a cave. and it was full of the unknown. This lifted his spirits and he began preparing for any enemy incoming.

Minutes later, there was still nothing, however he didn't put his guard down.

crumble... crumble... skee skee skee..

He heard it. Something was there lurking and looking at him, he heightened his alert and got his bow ready.

SKEEEE!!

A Sillouette had pounced on him, it's eyes shimmered bloody red. However, he was ready. He grabbed the sillouette and threw it. Stunning the thing that was attacking him before it revealed itself. It was a spider, except it was bigger. He probed the thing and this is what he got

It really was a spider, but it's much bigger than what he had seen before. After contemplating. He took out his Dual Swords and slashed towards the spider, Instantly killing it. His Experience was raised in some noticeable numbers so he decided to kill some more.

Later on, his level increased to 8 and the experience was much more lower than what he earned. After being done with the spiders, he ventured deeper into the cavern. It was filled with ores and gems but he can only lament because he did not have a pickaxe and the mining skill. With that, he moved forward.

After walking for a while, he took a break and sat down the nearest rock he could fine, he took out his provisions and ate, 『It didn't taste bad』he thought. After finishing the food, he stood up and walked again.

This time however, he could hear the sound of bones clanking. He looked towards the direction of the sound. He saw shadows of skeletons walking towards him, and within it's eyes were a faint green-red glow. It stopped for awhile, took a good look at him, it suddenly shrieked and dashed towards him.

This was it's description, however, he was still confident he can beat it. He initiated the fight with a fireball to its face, which dealt good damage towards it and it was mad, It did a loud shriek that had messed his ears for some seconds before regaining his senses and seen the spider with it's brood.

There were lots of the spiders, with no other choice, he launched [Frost Bolt] towards the oncoming swarm of spiders and freezing most of it before finishing them off with [Arcane Blast] and while he was attacking, he got hit by the broodmother in the back. Stunning him for quite awhile before he parried the oncoming attack, He used Power Slash on it's legs and was able to do so, It took off chunks off it's health and it shrieked again. This time glowing red, signifying it's entry to berserk mode. It regenerated it's lost legs before rushing towards Rune, It then suddenly jumped and clung towards the wall, dashing towards him, albeit in a different way. Then it pounced on him but luckily he managed to dodge it, It landed and missed it's step, causing it to fall.

Taking this chance, Rune used a [Level 4 Charged Shot] to finish it off. However, it recovered too fast and sidestep to make the arrow miss, seeing this, Rune shook off his head and attacked with his blades. He casted [Power Slash] and both of his blades were glowing white, He then took one step forward, and then dashed towards the spider, seeing this. The Broodmother took this chance and also attacked with it's [Power Slash]. And when the two met, it created sparks before the spider's legs eventually lost and got slashed, and then the blade slashed the spider itself, killing it.

After resting for awhile, he checked the loot and looked at it's loots. Although Most of it was trash, It also dropped a rare staff.
