Demon King

Training in the dark has the power to make you forget time.

Blank space with no sound, no touch, no smell.

Only I was there, and I focused again and again to erase it.

[Lesser Raid is Lv3.]

I can't be that satisfied. I walked through the darkness ignoring the notification window. Quiet, but fast. Carefully so that no one, not even myself, realizes their own movements.

He also tried to reduce his reflexes as much as possible even when he was hungry.

It wasn't easy. That's why it was more challenging. Even though I had this level of tenacity, I was amazed at myself, and I was focused on killing my wits.

I had a hunch that I was more desperate than usual, but I didn't relive it on purpose. I was just practicing quietly.

[Lesser Raid is Lv5.]

Shortly after the minor raid reached level 5, I escaped through a dark passageway as usual, encountering a space other than 1F's boss room. The Goblin Warrior was in the middle of a highway.

"Hehe!? ’

Immediately, I was embarrassed not knowing what I had done wrong, but I realized by the tactics I felt in the boss' room beyond.

The Boss Room has a new Goblin King, which is why the passageway I passed was connecting to a different space than the Boss Room.

I got the key to the boss room again and was wondering if I should charge and defeat the Goblin King, but the concern was futile. Turning back, there was still an entrance to the dark passageway.

Once I saw the passageway, I was able to find the Dark Passageway again, even if I was out in the Warriors' realm. I should be able to see the path that connects 1F and 2F.

With this, no matter when the food ran out, there was no problem. I went back to darkness in relief. And so time began to pass again.

[Lesser Raid is Lv6.]

[Lesser martial arts is now Lv3.]

Could an ambush also be a martial arts skill? Or is hiding your movements related to physics? I'm just training in the dark to kill a protagonist. It also raises my Martial Skill Skill stat.

Of course, the barrel and resistance to abnormalities remained intact.

[Lesser Raid is Lv8.]

Around the time you replenish your food twice, a minor raid has reached level 8. By that time, I was melting into the darkness quite naturally.

I thought about this once. I was wondering if I could get out.

However, I was still not satisfied. Once you're out of the way and into 2F, what I have to deal with is not just the War Wolf and the Battle Spider, but their superiors. Let's not forget that.

As I suppressed the urgency and restlessness, I walked back into the darkness.

We're almost there. Just a little further. With such intuition.

And then came the time.

[Lesser Raid becomes Lv10 and evolves into Intermediate Raid. It gets more stealthy and faster.]

[Lesser Martial Arts is Lv4.]

[You have mastered Beginner Tales.]

[Beginner Tale Lv1]

[Melts naturally into the environment. The higher skill of not being recognized based on its skill level because it adapts to your breathing and Mana environment. Increases the success rate when combined with a surprise skill and increases the power of the surprise skill.]

What stopped me from walking constantly in the dark was the moment the notification window appeared in front of my eyes.

When I first set foot in this darkness, the surprise was a subtle initiation, but it was growing moderately.

Moreover, I acquired the ultimate goal of staying in the dark, 'melting things around me' as a 'fairy tale' skill.

Explains it as a higher skill. It's the equivalent of martial arts. This was an unpredictable income.

As I stood there for a moment, I nodded. He decided to stop training.

I am not satisfied with the intermediate level. I wasn't good enough to bury myself in this empty space yet.

However, you cannot stay in this space for long. My original goal was not to master the raid, but to succeed against the monsters of 2F. I was confident that an intermediate raid skill would be enough to ambush even the highest level of 2F.

Moreover, there will be this dark space on the way down from 2F to 3F, and if you don't think my surprise will work in 3F, then you can resume training again.

‘All right, let's go. ’

But there's a place to go before that. Quests that have evolved, and where to get the information you need to do them.

It's a private store, of course.

“There you are, Feyte. ”

Training in the dark shouldn't be so short.

At least two weeks. No, I thought it would have been three weeks to a month since my sneak attack skill was intermediate, but the rain naturally welcomed me as if I had left my wallet yesterday and even encountered a guest who came to retrieve it.

I smiled bloody and asked him.

“Vee, how long has it been since I've been here? ”

“Four days.”

“That's ridiculous. ”

“Yes, that doesn't make any sense. ”

The rain lowers the glass, smiling.

“That's how talented Fett is, and it doesn't make any sense. ”

He knows exactly what I've been doing. They are aware that they have brought the raid to a moderate level.

I finally had a wild guess. Rain is a strong man in a position that is too small for me to bear.

And I'm always guarding the counter at this exclusive store with no guests except me.

I could not overcome the overwhelming kindness he felt and the groveling distance between my humility.

“I'm below average. ”

“No way. I didn't lie. It really took four days, and in the meantime, Fate had a huge growth, physically and mentally. If we don't call this a gift, what do we call it? ”

Hearing his blameless words, I was speechless.

It really only lasted four days. For that short time, did I make a skill from low to medium...?

No, don't get cocky. Do not be arrogant.

It was possible growth because it was a dark passageway that felt like nothing else existed except me.

Growth is possible in countries that are not that talented, effective only for surprise skills. In fact, in four days, I am not confident that I can turn minor martial arts into intermediate martial arts.

You should not mistake your talent for something that has only grown a particular skill in a particular situation. You can't be satisfied with yourself like this.

I have to try harder. More. More.

Out of his thoughts, he raises his head, and suddenly the rain settles on his lawsuit.

“Yes, that's the kind of man Fett is. I almost did. ”

“No, it's not. …… More importantly, what I'm here for is rain. ”

I explained to him. 2F to go now, and to Jinma's tower.

The rain gave me a nod after hearing everything I said.

“Fett was right about everything. Spiders and wolves live in Sector 2F of the Black Palace. Overcome each other, bite each other. No doubts, no worries. Keep going. As you've done so far, Fate will be able to go deeper and deeper. ”

“What about Jinma's Tower? Oh, you need information? ”

“There is no need for information. Because if Fate finds out, it won't change a thing in the end. ”

“I don't know...? ”

“Of course. Jinma's Tower. ”

His smile darkened.

“It's a safe training ground. ”

“Safe training ground? ”

“Yes. I assure you, it's not nearly as dangerous as furry. This is where Fate lives, and it's a private store. ”

“I see.”

I nodded. It's like a private store. I had a hunch from the beginning.

In other words, the Jinma Tower was a battlefield that should not be neglected for a moment.

I tested my luck today before I left the store. Like the blood poured by the rain, Red Liquor gave me a frankly subtle buff that increased my health by 30 for 3 hours.

Health is divided into two roles. One is defense, and two is movement. High stamina makes your body stronger and can withstand limited circumstances for longer. Like strength and magic, it is a very important ability.

The problem is that today's luck can only increase your stamina by a little bit.

Magic is a different story. Increases Magic Power, increases Magic and Skill Power, and also increases Mana's own Spring. It is possible to restore magical power with predation, but it is impossible to increase magical power. So it helps me a lot.

The rain looked on my face and noticed that I was disappointed. He said with a bitter smile.

“Oops, you picked a bad one. ”

At that moment.

I heard that and came to my senses.

I thought I was being so careful, but suddenly I felt such weak will in my heart.

Today's luck is a completely random buff, once every 24 hours. However, I was disappointed in the fact that my health was increasing, expecting something else, etc.

I was so ashamed of myself that I had practiced so far, thinking of relying on a lucky buff.

I pounded my cheeks firmly with my hands on the gauntlet. My mind became clear from the cold and rough pain. My cheeks froze.

“Mr. Fett? ”

“No, to sober up a little bit. ”

A dedicated shop with rain is always a sweet and gentle space for me.

Thank you, but you must always be vigilant. You shouldn't get used to this place. The store is so dangerous for me.

“This is where I'm supposed to challenge myself. I have no complaints. Moreover.”

“More?”

I laughed as I looked at the burning liquor and the lingering fragrance in my mouth.

“The drinks were delicious. But disappointment is not for alcohol. ”

That's enough for now. I really thought so.

The rain was dazed for a moment after hearing my words, but soon after I met him, it sent me the biggest smile.
