Chapter 9: Mission Tab
Chapter 9: Mission tab
I exited the dungeon and sat down on the ground to think about the things I got. I planned to use the bow as my secondary weapon as it will increase my choices during a battle by a lot. The Bryte's sword was also op. but it had high strength requirements. So, I decided to wait until my strength reached the required value. I learned the fireball skill instead of selling it despite having 0 intelligence right now. I just wanted to increase my arsenal right now as the pro dungeon was a really wakeup call me. I had 4 free points. So, this time I used them on intelligence. If I wanted to use fireball, I needed MP. But I only got 60, so I needed more points in intelligence.
I had 7,800 exp right now. So, I again used them for a level up. I became level 9 with my HP reaching 1,110 and I used all free points on intelligence again which boosted my MP to 120.
After I reached level 9, now I had 8 Strength, 26 Agility, 4 Vitality, 4 Intelligence and 2 Endurance.
My Attack power reached 31 (my own attack power without any equipment)
My movement and attack speed both reaching 6.6 and my defense still at 4.
I learned Triple Cut skill then after checking everything.
Lastly, I used the system upgrade.

Congratulations the system reached level 2.
Now that the system has reached level 2, I thought what changes it brought. I looked at the cores I had collected and this time, I finally got information on them. As I had thought, the brown core was for healing purposes.
The red cores boosted strength temporarily by 4 points.
The Orange cores boosted agility temporarily by 4 points
Now that the system was upgraded to level 2, the market section should also have been upgraded. I looked at it and was astonished to see the items displayed as well as their high CPs. I didn't know how I would collect them. But I soon got the answers as there was a new tab on the system, on the right of market section. It was Mission Tab.
I clicked it to see what type of mission there was and what type of rewards I would get upon completing them.
Mission 1: Complete the Pro dungeon 10 times.
Reward: 100 CP and Bryte's armor
Mission 2: Complete the Legend dungeon 1 times.
Reward:200CP and +10 Strength, +5 Agility, +2 Intelligence
…
I was hooked on the missions instantly though they were hard and time consuming. I could get stronger completing them.
For completing the first mission, I dived into the Pro dungeon and started the massacre. This time I didn't face any difficulties at all as I had new skills and was stronger than before.
But there was something else that disappointed me. I didn't get any exp or loots upon killing the monsters. I didn't know why. I cleared it after some time and asked the system about it upon exiting the dungeon.
"Why don't I get any experiences and loots on killing them, huh? Is it because I already killed them? Is that why?" I asked.
"Well, aren't you clever. Looks like I didn't need to tell you at all. As you guessed, only you don't get anything upon killing the same monster twice. And I also would like to tell you that the monsters you faced are stronger than the others faced in the same trial by a whole lot. And that gap will increase as you move onto the higher levels. So, finish all the missions, collect CPs before you dive into the Legendary dungeon." The system warned me.
"Well, so, having a system is dangerous then. Well, the riskier it is, the bigger the reward will be, I guess" I tried to look at the bigger side. I needed to believe in myself.
I then remembered the system telling me that growth type weapons will grow with me. But I have already reached level 9 but The Stake was still only level 5.
"so, what's going on with Stake? It should be level 9 with me. But its still at level 5. Did you dupe me?" I enquired upon realizing it.
"Don't be anxious. Its level will increase once you reach level 10. You will find out when you reach level 10. For that, you will have to enter Legend dungeon. But I don't know if you can clear it with everything you have right now." It spoke.
Well, then I will just clear another pro dungeon then. I can get experiences from other dungeons. There should be another dungeon pretty close by I thought.
I didn't head for another dungeon as I still needed to clearer it 10 times to complete the mission. I entered the dungeon and began grinding. Well, it can't be called gi=grinding as I didn't get any exp or loots.

Congratulations on completing first mission. 100 CPs awarded.
I wanted to continue dungeon diving but it was about to get dark and I needed to go home soon. I also didn't know if there was any dungeon nearby. So, I headed to home. I didn't unequip the armors. So, when I passed by many villagers, they looked at me with astonishment.
"Whoa, Shiva is wearing an armor and helmet already."
"Shiva is awesome. Did he already complete a dungeon?"
"Wow, I knew that he was different. I just didn't know he was this different."
Many people looked at him with astonishment. There were some who looked at him with contempt and disdain. I also noticed them but I didn't even look at them and didn't even care about them. It was best to not hurt your eyes looking at these disgusting things. Actually, the sight of these repulsed me more than the hideous creatures I had yet to see in the dungeons. I always hated these sorts of characters too when I was reading stories.

Killing intent detected. Bonus Mission Obtained.
Kill the evil ones with hostile natures.
Reward: 10CP
I didn't want to kill them despite I hated them a lot. I learned about the value of human lives from all the things I watched until now. Though there were such people, their lives still mattered. I didn't want to kill them so easily just for giving that hostile look.
I ignored the mission and their looks and headed towards my home.
My dad wasn't home. Well, with all things happening, he must be with other villagers or his friends discussing it I thought. Only my sister was home. She was preparing meals when I arrived home.
She looked at me and was astonished to see the shining armor donned on my body.
"Wow, brother. Did you also enter the dungeon?" She asked with a strange tone. It contained her worries, her excitement and also her love.
"Well… yes. Don't worry about me. Your brother will be the strongest Ranker of this world and I will save the world. Ha-ha" I said excitedly. This was the first time I got to talk big. So, I didn't hold back at all. And with the strange laugh I was doing, my sister looked astonished.
"Ha. You and number one. I don't know about that. Just don't get killed and return safely. You are my only big brother. I don't want to lose you. That's all" She said seriously.
Well… that was. I didn't know what to say. I was an awkward person who didn't like these embarrassing moments at all.
"Alight. I will." I didn't know what to say at that moment. And I headed towards my room.
I laid down on bed for some moments staring at the ceiling.
And my mind started to dive around my thoughts.
Now that the world was like this. Every day will be like this. Though the situation wasn't too much dangerous. I knew that dungeon breaks might occur anytime. I didn't know if the world would soon adjust itself with the situation. Well, it will surely. Humanity had evolved from the dark stone agr to the current modern age and we will surely pass this tribulation too.
Now that I was thinking about this, I remembered that I was the fourth to clear the Pro dungeon.
I looked at the rankings and found out that 10 people have already cleared the Pro dungeons.
1. Ezio (America)- 1 hour-80% proficiency
2. Alterio (America)-1 hour 10 minutes-81% efficiency
3. Edward Kenway (Britain)-1 hour 20 minutes-75% efficiency
4.
5. Mr. Zero (India)- 1hour 25 minutes-90% efficiency
6. Chu Feng (China)-1 hour 30 minutes-92 % efficiency
7. …
8. …
9. …
10. …
10 people have already cleared the dungeon and right now I knew that only I could see the rankings. Us as usual was always at the top. Well… I was glad that I wan't the only one going through this.
I was just thinking about it when I heard my father's voice.
I wanted to talk to him about it as he would also be visiting the dungeon. I was worried that he might be in danger. So, I asked the system about it.
"Hey, AI. Do you know if there is any way which can prevent my father from visiting the dungeons?"
"Well… there shouldn't be. But me being the almighty I do have a way. Call me grandfather and I will tell you. Ha-ha" it said.
"Grandfather. Please tell me about it" I said instantly.
"What? You don't even think about it. I am disappointed now. You need to have some pride man now that you wield this AI system." It said intending to waste my time more.
"Are you saying or not?" I was fuming.
It relented when it realized that I was really angry.
"you are no fun yr. Why so serious? You just have to do a trial and if you clear this, you will get something in reward as well. But let me tell you that you will need to be level 10 before you even attempt this trial." It spoke.
"Are you sure that he doesn't have to enter the dungeon?" I asked again not believing it.
"Yes, believe me. I won't lie to you" It reassured me.
Well… alright then. I can clear it. I thought.
I was just thinking about it when my father called me.
