CHAPTER 26: The Ogre kingdom part 1

[Congratulation player. You are the first to discover the hidden dungeon ' Ogre kingdom(diamond grade)'. Recommended level is 90 to 100.][Warning: The system has detected that the player is at a very low level. Please retreat.][Warning: The dungeon 'Oger kingdom has evolved into a field dungeon. Exit from the dungeon before the defeat of the final boss is now prohibited. All extra stats given to the player by his equipment have been disabled by the dungeon.] Just as David arrives in the dungeon. He is greeted by a red warning notification. Malin looks at David with shock and David looks at her in confusion. Malin can't stop herself and she smacks the back of his head.

" Hey! What did I do?" David says with annoyance. "I am the fucking system. I know everything about every dungeon. How can a dungeon that was scheduled to go 'field mode' three years later? All of a sudden it activates it now? You are a curse" Malin says in anger. One of the few things that she can't negate right now due to her incomplete state is the effects of luck and fate. David is a time bomb of good and bad luck ready to explode at any moment. " Don't blame me. Blame Alakshmi, she jinxed me before we ever even met," David says in his defense. " It's your fault for associating yourself with those cows. Now look at what you are causing within me trail world." Malin says with clear annoyance. Her hands are twitching ready to beat him at any second.

Hearing her words David feels some curiosity raise in him. In the novel, Malin would always insults Alakshmi and her sisters as cows. David at first believed it was because the 3 sisters were well endowed while Maling was quite small. But now David thinks it's much more. David opened his mouth ready to ask a question. But the words never leave his lips as Malin's usually playful gaze turns cold. The aura around her body began turning evil and dark. David swallows those words fearing for his life. " You just thought of something rude related to my boobs, didn't you?" Malin says in a cold voice. David immediately kneels and defends himself. " I swear I didn't. I'm innocent." David says. " Lies! I can senses that you were mocking my chest" Malin says coldly. " No... I wasn't mocking you. I was just analyzing their size and shape." David replies.

" Tell me David do you have a problem with girls that have small boobs?" Malin asks. " No, no I don't have a problem. In fact, I love them. Flat is justice!" David replies loudly. The fear of what Malin may do to him made David say strange things. Hearing his words Malin's face turns red for a split second. Her scary aura disappears and she turns her back to him. " Good, now go on your adventure," Malin says, cooly. " Yes, mam!" David says with relief. Soon he focuses o his senses. The whole area of 10000 kilometers in radius around him is projected in his mind.

Every ant, leaf, and grain of sand is seen by David. This is the effect of the PCT stat. This stat unlike all the others is the most connected stat to the mind. When it reaches 15000 in the attribute. A wave of mental energy will be released from the mind. That mental energy can not only be used for observation. It can also physically interact with the physical world. Unfortunately, that energy is very difficult to control. On average it takes 5 months to learn how to properly use it with full control. Only freaks like David and Shang Bai Fan can control it with no stress. With Bai Fan, it is due to his previous life experiences. But David it is due to the passive skill 'Telekinesis'. David has full control immediately.

With a quick scan of the area. David realizes that he is in a large forest. The trees are more than 30 meters tall. David finds that a fast-moving beast is heading in his direction. Its speed is approximately 500 meters per second. It has the appearance of a pather. Reacting quickly David proceeds to activate one of the skills of the legendary grade daggers. " Shadow step" as the name of the skill resounds in his mind. David's body sinks into his own shadow. Soon he finds himself in a black space. It looks just the same as the outside world but everything looks like shadows.

The places that have shadows in the outside world are made of light here. This is the shadow realm. In this universe apart from the 5 main realms, they are also other lesser-known realms. The skill shadow step does not completely rely on the shadow realm. As long as shadows exist they will always occupy their own space. That space is where the skill can transport the user.

Blits blades[legendary tier 1]: Stat requirements to wield this item are 5000 STR, 6000 AGI, 4000 END, 4000 PCT, 3000 INT, and 3000 ST.

Effects:STR:+150 ;AGI:150+; END:+150; INT:+150; ST:+150;VIT:150 ;PCT:150 ; Durability= 5000

*Increases the user's AGI by 500%

*Increases the user's STR by 500%

*Increases the user's END by 500%

*One slash: this skill allows these daggers to temporarily ignore all defense and physical/magical resistance for 5 minutes. The daggers will then have a cooldown of 1 minute after the skill has ended.

*Severing slash: When this skill is activated the user can cut any target they want no matter what the distance is. As long as the target is within the range of the user's senses the slash will never miss.

*Shadow step: this skill allows the user t travel through shadow. There is no time limit

*Shadow cage: This skill can transport a target to the shadow realm. A cage of shadow blades will then assault the target for as long as they are trapped there. Consumes 10 MP and SE per second

*Shadow blade: This skill allows the user to cut a target through their shadow. This is shadow damage as long as the target has a shadow it can't negate the damage without special abilities. This skill has no cost.

The reason why David is acting soo consciously is that the dungeon has gone into field mode. When a dungeon becomes a field dungeon many things change. The grade and levels of all the monsters increase and the dungeon loses all its floors as they become one world. This means that the originally diamond-grade dungeon is now an Epic grade or above. Just like what it implies. The grade of a dungeon refers to the grade of its base monsters. Usually, the boss is one grade higher than the dungeon grade. While hidden bosses are two grades higher. If this dungeon becomes legendary grade. David will be in real trouble. The worst part is that you don't get to choose the dungeon's difficulty level. It goes straight to the highest difficulty. The difficulties of a dungeon are normal, hard, extreme, and hell,

Unlike most creatures. Monsters don't have classes, but that all changes once they reach legendary grade or they evolve into a Xeno. David observes the monster that has just arrived. In the shadow realm, he can see its full figure but it is fully black. David stands in front of its face and inspects it. The panther-like monster looks at the environment and it begins to search for David. Clear confusion can be seen in its eyes. David quickly looks at the panther's information. This will determine what grade and level this dungeon is.

Seeing these stats David can only sigh. Yep, that is a legendary creature. Despite all the rewards he has gotten, powerful creatures will always be strong. Seeing David's face like that Malin speaks " Why don't you just use the potions and other stuff to increase your strength?". David shakes his head and smiles. "Not now. I have just had a massive increase in my strength. I need some time to get used to my new power and speed. Besides If I do that this adventure will end very fast," David says. Malin nods her head in understanding. " Ok then young hero, go and slay that beast," Malin says as she mounts his shoulder." Yes mam!" David replies.

Back in the outside world. The Black Death is still determined in finding David. Its body is 2.5 meters tall and 3.2 meters long. It has black fair with blue colored striped patterns on its body. The poor cat is diligently working on finding the pray it sensed a while back. It moves from side to side trying to catch David's scent. "Slash!", "Roar!" suddenly the black death roars in pain. It immediately jumps more than 50 meters away from its original location. A cut has appeared on its chest. It goes into full alert. Fangs and claws ready to kill whatever dared attack it." Slash!, slash!" more and more cuts appear on its body.

Damage values keep appearing above its head. -107300 critical hit, -107300 critical hit, -107300 critical hit... "Bang!". In less than 1 second the black death has fallen to the ground, dead. It died without knowing how. In the shadow realm, David can be seen with a surprised look on his face. In front of him, is the shadow body of the dead black death. " That was fast," David says in surprise. Malin looks at him with a weird look. Why are u so surprised? You are using legendary-grade daggers. Although the bonus stats are removed They were only 750 to your stats. The dungeon can't stop weapon effects and skills," Malin says.

David feels slight shame. ' This feels like cheating. I didn't even use any skill. Not even basic dagger mastery was activated' David thinks to himself. The two skills he used to kill the black death are shadow step and shadow blade. Due to David being in the shadow realm. He is surrounded by shadows and that includes the shadow of the black death. Shadow blade ignores all defense when it hits a shadow. Shadow Blade with Shadow Step is just cheating. David knows how critical hits are made. Without any defense, an attack is guaranteed to be critical. With his luck, it still would have happened anyway. But the critical would be a normal one not a double critical.

Although his attacks were only basic attacks the critical hits plus the fact that the cat could not block the attacks. This led to its quick death. David with his current AGI can attack close to 200 times within a second if not interrupted. It only took 29 hits and the cat did not have time to regenerate.[+16588800 EXP][World announcement: Congratulation player for being the first to kill a legendary-grade monster. The monster was 2 tiers higher than you. Therefore your reward will be increased. You have been awarded 100 skill points, an increase of 1000 to all stats, 1 legendary treasure chest, 10 transfer slots, and 1 monster egg ]

The notification of an achievement being completed appears in front of David. He only sighs in defeat and accepts all the rewards. A big smile can be seen on his face as he says. "Let's go, Malin I want to accomplish the achievement of ' Silent death'. This is a very good opportunity and these daggers are perfect for the job," Malin stares at David with sharp eyes. David then proceeds to activate the skill 'Blood Path'. The body of the black death which is in the outside world suddenly begins shriveling up. All the blood in its body gushes out and dives into its shadow.

The blood then enters David's body. Davis feels strange when using this skill. But he will get used to it after some time." How do you know all this? These achievements are things that I don't even know." Malin questions David. Although Malin is the system she doesn't have control over achievements. Achievements are rewards granted to a creature by the will of whatever realm, universe, or spacetime they may be in. Usually, the will is not fully capable of handing the rewards directly.

Weak creatures cant interact with this will. In normal cases, only powerful beings can get these rewards. Because they can interact with the laws of reality. They can thus take the rewards handed to them. The system is just a medium that makes the acquisition of these achievements easier. " I can see the future. It has only happened once and I don't think it will happen again. In the future, I saw. Many things occurred and one of them is that a future evil player would gain the achievement of ' silent death'. Maliin looks at David seriously. Although she can tell he is not lying. He is not telling her the whole story. Malin proceeds to then say. " Fine, I get it. I won't force you to tell me everything. I know everyone has their own secrets"

David smiles at her and says. " Thanks for understanding. Now then let's go hunt us some monsters," with those words David runs off into the forest to hunt down some prey. Traveling through the shadow realm guarantees his safety. As long as he doesn't meet a shadow feend he will be fine. David has made his plan. He will clear this dungeon without any monsters ever seeing him. The achievement of ' Silent death' is received when a creature kills 100 targets that are 10 levels higher than themselves in a row. If the target is a higher grade life form the achievement will get strengthened.

The targets have to be killed without them knowing the cause of their death. That means that David has to insta-kill every monster he meets from now on. How will he do that you may ask. It with a skillful combination of multiple skills. By using Sword intent[SS] lvl 1, Swordsmanship[SS] lvl 10, Basic dagger wielding[E] lvl 1, Mana manipulation[SSS] lvl 10, Spirit energy manipulation[SSS] lvl 10, Daze[c] lvl 1, Armed and dangerous[SSS] lvl 1, Backstab [C] lvl 1, Curse of blindness [C] lvl 1, Raigin slash[A] lvl 1, Frost shad impact[A] lvl 1, and Battle franzy[A] lvl 1.

Coating the daggers in sword intent will then classify the daggers as swords. (Sword intent[SS] lvl 1: This skill allows the user to create and perfectly manipulate sword intent. Any object embued with this intent is considered a sword. PATK/MATK.SATK is increased by 1000%.) This will allow him to use Swordsmanship[SS] lvl 10. With the addition of all the other skills David's damage will be will be 497575500. David quickly releases that although he can release this amount of damage. He doesn't know if his body can handle it. Unlike in other games, AKO does not have skill cooldowns. A skill can be used indefinitely. As long as the user's mind and body can handle it. Stats like stamina and mental energy are not displayed by the system. But they are very important.

The system does not display these stats due to how easily they are influenced by outside factors. Just like how some people can push themselves above their limit with pure willpower. A person can use a skill like 'swordsmanship'. But if your body can't handle the strain and stamina consumption caused by the skill you will cause yourself paralyzation, and internal damage and you can even die. Magic is even worse. I a person tries to use a spell that their mental energy can't handle. Their brain will forcefully shut down. This can cause brain damage and in the worst cases, your brain can simply explode. But luckily most creatures have a limiter. The body and mind know what they can handle. These instinctual limiters will stop the activation of dangerous skills.

David decides to go with a new combination. By using Sword intent[SS] lvl 1, Swordsmanship[SS] lvl 10, Basic dagger wielding[E] lvl 1. David is guaranteed to have a damage value of 31098375. This is without factoring in critical hits. With all his calculation done David move to his next target. Which is also another Black Death. With serious eyes, David activates his skills. In the outside world. Black Death is quietly searching the area for its next meal. It finally caught the smell of prey and decides to follow it. Yet strangely its body doesn't move. It looks down at its legs. Suddenly its view of the world starts spinning. By the time it got back to its senses. It looks at the figure of a headless black death. The last thought that it had before death was " Isn't that my body?".
