Chapter 14 – Dungeon Break-in and Power Grind
The Dungeon Where the Heroine Gets OP
In the game, this dungeon was where Seria became strong.
✔ Monsters got stronger the deeper you went.
✔ Plenty of rare materials and loot.
✔ The perfect place to grind levels and skills.
But there was one big problem.
It was off-limits to most students.
Only high-ranking adventurers or special students like Seria—once she reached a certain level—could enter.
Me?
I was neither.
But when has that ever stopped me?

Step One: Cheat My Way In
The guards at the entrance were checking IDs.
"Only authorized personnel beyond this point," one of them grunted.
Fine. Be that way.
I backed off, scanning the crowd, looking for someone useful.
Then I spotted him—a mid-rank adventurer, older than me, looked tough but not too important.
Perfect.
I waited until he walked into a side alley.
Then I jumped him, bit his shoulder, and copied his face.
✔ New identity: acquired.
✔ Guards: fooled.
✔ I was in.
And no one suspected a damn thing.

Step Two: Fight, Bleed, and Get Stronger
The first few floors were brutal.
Floor 1: Armored Wolves – Fast as hell, their fangs almost tore my arm off.
Floor 2: Giant Centipedes – Tough exoskeletons, disgusting to bite into, but their blood gave me better reflexes.
Floor 3: Goblin Assassins – Little f*ckers moved too fast, and their weapons were coated in poison.
I barely survived each fight, but every time I drank blood, I could feel the power rushing into me.
✔ Stronger muscles.
✔ Sharper instincts.
✔ Better speed and endurance.
The struggle was real—but the rewards were worth it.

Step Three: The Real Challenge Begins
Then I hit Floor 4.
And immediately realized—
This wasn't in the game.
Standing in front of me was a mutated ogre.
✔ Three meters tall.
✔ Bone armor covering its body.
✔ A massive club that could crush me in one hit.
I stared at it.
It stared at me.
I sighed. "F*cking fantastic."
---
The Fight – The Ogre is a Bastard
The ogre roared and swung its club.
I dodged just in time, but the impact shattered the ground.
Holy sh*t.
One hit, and I was dead.
✔ Dodging? Not sustainable.
✔ Blocking? F*ck no.
✔ Biting? Not an option unless I got close.
I needed a plan.
---
Testing My New Abilities
I sprinted around the ogre, using my boosted reflexes from the centipede's blood.
✔ My movements were faster.
✔ My reactions were sharper.
The goblin blood I drank had given me a low resistance to poison, so even when the ogre's club grazed me, the impact didn't knock me out immediately.
Still hurt like a b*tch, though.
I needed more power.
There was only one way to get it.
I had to bite the ogre.
---
The Bite – A Gamble for Strength
I waited.
I watched.
And the moment the ogre overextended on a swing—
I lunged at its arm and sank my teeth in.
The taste was disgusting.
But the power?
Instant.
---
Blood Absorption – The Ogre's Strength is Mine
The system flashed in my vision.
✔ +8 Strength (Mutated Ogre Absorbed).
✔ +4 Endurance.
✔ New Ability: Bone Armor (Passive).
I felt my bones harden, my muscles tighten.
The ogre pulled back, screaming in rage.
Too late.
I was stronger now.
---
The Comeback – Beating the Ogre's A**
The next time it attacked, I didn't dodge.
I caught its club mid-swing.
The sheer force almost sent me flying—almost.
But my body held.
The ogre's eyes widened.
I grinned. "Yeah. Your strength? It's mine now."
Then I ripped the club out of its hands and slammed it into the ogre's face.
BOOM.
The monster crashed into the ground.
And I finished it off with a final, well-placed strike.
---
Step Four: Take the Loot and GTFO
Panting, I stood over the ogre's corpse.
The system gave me another notification.
✔ Rare Item Drop: Mutated Ogre Core.
✔ Monster Blood Absorbed – Physical Reinforcement Increased.
I grinned. "Now that's what I'm talking about."
But my victory didn't last long—
Because I heard footsteps.
Someone else was in the dungeon.
And they had definitely seen that fight.
