While the sun shone on the ass of Mike he woke up by hearing a couple saying a sentence to their children : "Always train hard in school , even if you are a melee fighter don''t give up . See that person ? He sleeps on the street because he doesn''t work hard ."
Sneering in his mind Mike taunted : "This society sucks , i lived a normal school life and killed my way through the dungeons for more than one month . And they dare to say that i am lazy ?"
Sighing he scratched his butt while ignoring the people who looked at him with disgust .
At first he didn''t do private stuff in public , after all he still was one of the innocent people . However after experiencing dungeons and living for more than 1 month on the street he felt that it really didn''t matter how people look at you .
You look at me with disgust cause i am scratching my buff in public ? Hey there are monsters in the dungeons whom i try to kill alone . ALONE !
Not only that , Mike have nobody to rely on . No lover , no relatives . Even his best and only true friend disappeared to a ranged scholarship .
The rest of the people he knew fought with their parents .
After sighing Mike looked at the floating panel in front of him . If he didn''t have such a good luck in the raid he probably would still live on the street .
However it seemed that people would offer apartments or even houses in precious locations .
Rubbing his hands Mike looked at the list of the final offers .
Giggling like a madman caused him to earn more looks , however he didn''t cared .
Raising his arms he howled a victory cry before thinking what items would the people offer him for the final auction ?
In the forum :
- : The second auction may start . Please offer a list with the items you want to exchange . I will eliminate 5 people after the first round and one after another . Chat is hereby opened .
After 5 minutes the list of items changed :
1. Melee Wolf Set + 5 Skill Books by choice + A House on the roof of skyscraper B (+0)
2. Melee Wolf Set + 4 Skill Books by choice + An apartment in the luxus street (+0)
3. Melee Wolf Set + 4 Skill Books by choice + A House + apartment in urban areas + (1000 points)
4. Melee Wolf Set + 1 Skill by choice Books + a House in the luxus street (+ Catcha Pet Slot)
5. Melee Wolf Set + Skill Book : HP Sharing (+ Skill Book : Support Aura)
6. Melee Wolf set + 3 Skill Books (+ 0)
7. Northern Weapon Set(Shield+Sword) + 3 Skill books (+ Melee Wolf Set)
8. 2 Apartmens in urban areas + 5 Skill Books (+1 apartment + 1 enhanced weapon)
9. 10 skill books + 2 Skill Books by choice (+20 Skill books + two enhanced weapons)
10. 30 Skill Books + An enhanced Spear (+20 skill books + an apartment)
Thinking for a while Mike deleted 8 , 9 , 10 , as well as 6 .
Frowning upon which number he should eliminate next Mike decided to change the rules from 5 to 4 .
Naturally he could do this since he is the one who is the auctioneer .
The third round followed :
1. Melee Wolf Set + 5 Skill Books by choice + A House on the roof of skyscraper B (+0) (+0)
2. Melee Wolf Set + 4 Skill Books by choice + An apartment in the luxus street (+0) (+0)
3. Melee Wolf Set + 4 Skill Books by choice + A House + apartment in urban areas + (1000 points) (+0)
4. Melee Wolf Set + 1 Skill by choice Books + a House in the luxus street (+ Catcha Pet Slot) (+0)
5. Melee Wolf Set + Skill Book : HP Sharing (+ Skill Book : Support Aura) (+0)
6. Northern Weapon Set(Shield+Sword) + 3 Skill books (+ Melee Wolf Set) (+1 skill book by choice)
Eliminating 3 and 5 to make up for one round he waited for the 4 round to start .
What he didn''t know was that in this one moment somewhere people analized his behaviour :
"He eliminated the person who put up 2 lodging , it seems he only need one lodging and that should be a good one . It seems like it is one of those homeless guys who got lucky ." spoke a female secretary .
"Homeless or not , it seems like he is melee . Thus no need to gift him any protection talisman . Don''t increase the rate of skill books , he seems to know that quantity on a single person won''t increase his power . Instead he wants quality ." spoke an old man while caressing his beard .
"I have to have this necklace . My granddaughter already has the other parts ." added the old man in a low voice before looking at the auction again .
Suddenly he spoke : "Add the house in the luxury street as well and delete the house at the skyscraper . Even though the view of the skyscraper is amazing it is quite useless and the house is more for relaxing ."
The 4 and 5 round passed with nobody of the raising the price , after all it is possible to leave the auction in this way .
Causing Mike to delete 3 and 5 . In the end Mike could only delete 2 before moving on the last rounds .
Just as the last three offered their lists suddenly an item changed :
1. Melee Wolf Set + 5 Skill Books by choice + a House in the luxus street + 5 skill books of choice
2. Melee Wolf Set + 1 Skill by choice Books + - Gone - (+ Catcha Pet Slot) + (5000) points)
3. Northern Weapon Set(Shield+Sword) + 3 Skill books (+ Melee Wolf Set) (+3 skill book by choice)
With surprise Mike looked at the item change from 1 and 2 . He already heard of people changing the items , however the value had to remain the same or topple the thing from before . Though the melee wolf set couldn''t be changed since Mike wanted it to remain .
Now Mike felt that the choice felt pretty easy , he eliminated candidate 2 while moving on to the final round .
Somewhere in a mansion :
"Argh , how could it be ? Does that mean that grandfather took away the house or sold it ?" shouted Merle in a loud voice .
While cursing Merle could only watch how the system kicked her out .
Meanwhile Mike grinned , he chosed candidate one after nobody offered more . After all he needed a lodging to get a base for his future plan .
If Mike didn''t have the experience on the street this story would be over . Living in good house , getting a partner for the rest of his life and settle down . Doing some dungeon runs with friends and living off his little life .
But he realized that power is something necessary to survive . The house he earned today can be taken away in an instance .If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Didn''t he lived on the street because he lacked power ? After all as a melee he couldn''t fight a ranged .
After the transaction finished he moved to his new house .
Nothing specular happened , Mike got his payment and the one got the necklace .
After visiting the house in the luxus street Mike smiled like an idiot . Thats a jackpot !
Not only does the luxus street have an service to get all the food , it even has its own dungeon portal .
Arriving in front of the street Mike felt a little bit disappointed , nothing was different from a normal suburb . The only difference was as gate with guards at the entrance .
Without any troubles Mike towards his house . Two floors with a basement . A garden the size of an football field surrounded by walls .
Surprisingly a dungeon portal existed in the basement .
The next few days nothing special happened , Mike filled his house with food and normal stuff like bed , television etc.
He finished after a week .
Looking at his status Mike held the 10 coupons for a skill book by choice . Naturally , he already equipped the wolf set .
[ Mike Lv 2 ]
HP 20500 ((450+1600)*10) / 20500 ((450+1600)*10)
Defense 1720
STR: 129 AGI: 144 (44+100) VIT: 143 Body : 115
Strong Body : +400 HP
Mortal Madness : +10% missing HP to STR and AGI
Path of Cleasing(0/5): Temper your Skin
Trait of Bear : '' - ''
With a evil laugh he looked at the amound of HP he got . More than 20k Health ! Doesn''t that mean he is able to survive about 200 bullets ? With each of them piercing his body !
Looking at the amount he taunted his future enemys with a sneer : "Look at me ! Even if i can''t kill my enemys at least they can''t kill me if a want to run !"
However Mike still pondered about the Defense stat , does it give damage reduction ? Then is it percentage or points ? Or does it only represent the power of his equipment ? But some equipment doesn''t have defense , does this mean that they have no power value ?
Pondering for a while Mike dismissed the defense stat , later he will search for an equipment guide on gaia . After all there is something more important than that right now : Choosing 10 skill books !
However he soon realized that in truth one wouldn''t get 10 skill books by choice . Instead each skill book represented a coupon with the value of one normal skill book .
He even found a list with all the common ones , the mortal madness he got due from an mutation is catogorized as a lesser skill books . Thus making it a skill that needs to have 20 of its kind to trade with a normal one .
After reading a few articles he glared at the coupons , not idear whether he should curse of them or love them .
It seems like that these coupons are used by the alliance to prevent the point usage .
Since if the entire world would only have one currency , doesn''t that mean that the one producing it , fighters or strong people would be the richest ?
So the government decided to implement secondary currency .
There was even a shop to use the coupons .
Searching for a while Mike decided to buy a weaker rare skill . After all his 10 coupons couldn''t be able to buy an ultra mighty skill book .
The skill couldn''t be called weak . However its a defence one .
Logically one would deem the defense skills as more precious , however the skill is called absolute defense which reduces every damage taken by 8% .
It sounds amazing , doesn''t it ?
Comparing it to the other skill books he could buy Mike felt that this absolute defense shouldn''t be priced so low . After all he saw a skill which gave 100 defense permanent selling for 300 coupons !
After learning it Mike frowned upon his damage output . It should be around 200 per hit with a normal sword . If he''s able to hit weak points it may even rise of 1k or 2k .
The solution ? Naturally browse in gaia for melee weapons !
(AN: Gaia is like the internet , you can find everything you need but there are a lot of weird things floating around)
Two days passed before he found his fated dungeon .
Lowermost Wrath Pawn (1-144) - Guide By Morose
Morose :
Hi Guys ,
even though this dungeon is popular its quite hard for many to defeat the dungen boss and get the rewards .
First of all this isn''t a raid dungeon , so the maximum persons joining is 20 .
Furthermore its advised to bring 15 melee and less than 5 ranged . To say it bluntly , mages with aoe damage are crap , you are in a labyrinth and the spell can massacre your entire party . However its good to have a single mages in case of emergency , rest should be single damage dealers .
The rest should be easy , kite the groups in the floors which are quite big and wide . If there is a hord then use your emergency wizard to throw his spell and everything should be fine .
Boss should be defeated with extreme care , he is a skeleton knight with a shield , armor and lance .
He is fighting alone , however is immune against light and most magic so physical damage is the way to go !
His drops are quite amazing , one of the most precious jewels for wizards drops here . Though its quite rare . Well , since describing them is utter bullshit , i will just post the stats .
[ Wizards Jewel ]
[ + 500% Manapool + 500C% Mana Regen]
[ Lance of Knight ] Weight : 350 kg
[ 300-3000 Damage ]
[ Stabbing Speed + 100% ]
[ 200 Defense Penetration ]
[ Shield of Knight ] Weight : 2,7 tons
[ 500 Defense ]
[ 50k Defense at Block ]
[ Knights Will : Blockstance with 300k Defense + -2k Recoil ]
Looking at the weight with pure shock Mike felt that his strength is quite puny .
Though he would be able to hold the lance with one Hand , he isn''t sure if he could carry the shield with his left arm . After all he could only carry about 1.3k kg with both of this hands . How could he lift the double amount with only one hand ?
However he suddenly remembered one of the Wolf sets traits , able to carry heavier weapons !
Smiling Mike searched a group for Lowermost Wrath Pawn , because of him not being a newbie he soon found a group with 2 tanks , 11 warriors , 2 melee damage dealer , 1 ranged and surprisingly a support .
After sending an application to the group , which is called Black cat , Mike decided to train a little bit and get used to the battle mode of his equipment .
At first he believed that equipment would be like normal clothes , he has to wear it . However he soon realized that the equipment kind disappeared if worn in peaceful situations . Naturally he could summon it , but the wolf armor has a wolf head as the helmet , thus Mikes face is covered , only allowing his eyes luriking out from the jaw of the wolf .
Looking in a mirror Mike could see a man wearing a wolf head , his body wearing a weird fure plate which weighted not less than iron . Teeths of different sizes hand around the necklace of the man .
The most beautiful thing is a coat made out of white wolf fure hanging behind his shoulders .
Finishing his admiration he started to do squats , swinging his beginner sword around , as well as punching into the air .
Soon the reply from Black Cat came back , they approved him and wanted to go into the dungeon pretty soon . The day would be tomorrow .
Wondering about the fact that there is no test time Mike signed the non-violent treaty and prepared himself for tomorrow .
Activating the Wolf set he used the dungeon portal in his basement , a banzai for whomever build a portal in this house !
What greeted him was an empty waiting room with nothing but a light in the middle of the room .
Sitting on the ground he waited for the members of black cat to appear .
After a while they appeared , 5 middle aged man , 5 womans who are certainly the wives of the 5 mans and 6 youths or children .
One of the middle aged man with brown hairs and a brown beard stepped forward while greeting Mike : "Hi , are you ready to clear a dungeon ?"
Mike just nodded while standing up . Taking out his weapon he gestured that he is ready .
"I would never believe that our small group would attract a true warrior , he doesn''t talk much . Did he lost his family due an accident ? After all his equipment is quite high . Though i don''t know what set he uses .
Anna , my wife told me that its irresponsible to invite another member of our member when we have such an good balance nowadays . However , didn''t i got a helping hand when i was in need ? After all i swore to myself to be a litte bit like commander Hilkens .
Not only that , i believe that even if he is a leecher who only goes into groups to get free loot , we would be able to endure it for one run and then kick him out .
Though i don''t know how Marcus or the others would react , after all they take their little boys/daughter with them . Now , that i am able to look at him , i can only say one thing : I don''t regret it . He looks strong and i believe that he has potential . Maybe he can even act as the 3th tank for our group ?
Meh ... I don''t believe so , but how long has it been ? 20 Years ? No , probably only 18 . Looking at my daughter growing is quite the happy thing , now my only problem is how to find a good husband for her ? I won''t let my daughter marry a good for nothing when she awakened such a rare support ability ! She is the pride of my family . I have to keep an eye on the little boy of Marcus .... he seems to eyeing my precious Tania !
Well , what am i thinking ? Why do i feel so melancholy ? Doesn''t matter , let''s sweep this dungeon in one go and then go home to eat a meal cooked by my lovely wife Anna !
