"Equip GreatSword Alexander."

[DING! HOST HAS EQUIPPED GREATSWORD ALEXANDER! WEAPONS ABILITIES ARE IN EFFECT! AND +60 STRENGTH!]

"Okay... Let's do this. [Create ID]!"

A blue dome surrounds me for a few seconds before it shatters. I looked around and notice a massive fog behind me, while infront of me there's a big entrance to what it seems to be some sort of fortress.

"Wait... I feel like i've seen this place before." [DING! SPECIAL DUNGEON DETECTED! INITIATING QUEST!]

[Special Dungeon: Fear & Hunger

Quest: Defeat the traces of gro-goroth.

Rank: A+

Reward: ???

Penalty: -75% Stats for a month]

"Wait, So if i Escape i will get penalize?!"

[No host. If host use the skill [Escape ID] to escape, host wouldn't be penalize. But if the host couldn't achieve the quest's objective and host's HP reached 1 then the host would be brought back to the real world and then penalize.]

"Ah, okay.... But to think my First special dungeon is this..."

I take a deep breath before walking towards the entrance, as i stepped inside the fortress, i could feel lots of intents. Lustful, Murderous, Bloodlust, Everything. If i don't have [Gamer's Mind] my mind would have start corroding by now.

I walked forwards, searching every room and corridor. In one of the rooms i found a cage, but it was empty.

"... So hard mode huh... I was thinking i could get either ragnavldr or d'arce as a companion... Seems like that's not happening."

I walk some more before i see somebody standing infront of my path. He is big, tall too. He is most likely above 7 feet, after i get closer he turned around. His face looks malformed, drooling, a meat cleaver in one hand and there's something hanging on his crotch.

"Guard... He looks ugly in the game, but he looks even uglier in real life."

After seeing me, the guard rush towards me. "[Flying Slash]." I send a flying Slash at him, cutting the guard cleanly at the middle.

"Hmm, i could attack normally, even though the game was turn based attack system. That's good to know." I walked past its corpse and open the door he was guarding.

The view of hanging rotten corpse enters my view, The smells makes me want to vomit. Shaking my head, i walk towards the door on the other side of the Courtyard.

"Wait a minute... If i want to go to the backyard, i had to have a mockup book..."

Having forgotten something important, i walk back to the entrance and searched every bookshelfs. As i was searching the bookshelfs, i notice there Aren't any coin toss, which is a good thing.

A few minutes after searching the bookshelfs i finally found the mockup book. I walked back to the Courtyard and enter the inner halls. As i stepped inside, i could Heard multiple voices. They seems to be chanting something. As i walk up the stairs i could see 4 people, 1 getting crucified and 3 dudes wearing black robes.

'should i get my affinity with all-mer? Wait, is that even going to do anything?' I shake my head as i got closer. Even though I'm getting closer, the dark priests dosen't attack me. Seems like they behave the same way as they did in the game. Seeing that they don't attack me, i decide to not bother them. I walk to the left and enter a hallway, before walking towards the entrance to the backyard.

As i walk i decide to ask system something.

"System, can i use the souls just like how the characters used it in the game?"

[No host. As any souls in the dungeon are just too weak to help the host become stronger.]

"Is that so?..... Sigh, touche." That's too damn bad. At the end of the hallway was a library. I entered the library and walk towards the furthest bookshelf, there i put the mockup book that i found in a empty space between the books. I Heard something clicks before the bookshelf moved, revealing the entrance to the backyard.

The backyard is huge, larger then your average backyard that's for sure. At the center is the statue of All-mer, the Jesus of this world. Behind the statue is a person, The butterfly guy.

'if i remember correctly, there's no need to confront him, as he will die if i killed all three organs of the God of the depths.'

I walk towards the right side of the backyard, there's no need to go the left side, as the only thing on there is the bunnymask. A group of followers of one of the old gods of this world, the goddess of love and fertility, Sylvian.

After walking for a moment, i could see a path being block by some rubbles. Normally you would need some sort of explosive vial to destroy the rubbles and unlock the path, but what's the use of my skill if i don't use it?

I gather mana on my right hand, forming a ball and throw it to the rubbles, exploding the rubbles to dust..

Seeing that it works, i walk towards the path, leading me to a big ass tree. There are two dogs guarding the tree, but i make quick work of them. Slicing their body to mince meat with flying slashes.

"This is the thicket... If i remember correctly, this will take me straight to the level 7 basement."

I take a deep breath before i enter the tree, the inside of it was dark, thankfully i could formed balls of mana and use it as a light source.

I spend a few hours traversing through the thicket, at some point i found a katana lodged in the ground, i was about to take it before i remembered that it was cursed so i left it behind. Beside, for now the GreatSword Alexander is good enough for me. I also manage to find one of the organs, i stab it with my GreatSword and i could hear a Roar. Probably from the God of the depths.

'one down, two more to go.' After walking some more, i finally found a soft spot in the ground. I jump on it and land in the level 7 basement. I spend another hour or so on exploring the level 7 basement. I found a dead Le'garde, it was a no suprise considering this world is in hard mode. As i explore the basement, i meet the elite guard. Its just a guard with extra protection, but somehow this muthafucka was faster then the normal guard.

"Oi, shouldn't you be slower cause all of that armor?" I asked as i Dodge the attacks from the elite guard. He just growled at me, seems like their intellegence still are the same as a normal guard. It gave me some problems but i manage to cut his head off with a well time [Flying Slash]. I contiune exploring and found another one of the god's organ. I stab it, it roared and i continue exploring.

"Ah... I need the the cube of the depths to unlock the entrance to ma'habre..." Forgetting that i need the cube of the depths, i search for the entrance to the level 6 mines. I find it opposite a staircase, if i remember correctly this stair case will led me to the level 3 prison. As i got into the level 6 mines, i could feel the intents, especially Bloodlust feels bigger then it was at the entrance. And i could feel something, walking around the level 6 mines that has a murderous intent that's bigger to what i'ved ever feel upto this point.

".... Its the crow mauler." And i was right. After exploring the mines for a few minutes, i came across a tall person. If i could still call him that, as his head is a crow head. And his left hand is gone, replaced by a mace. We stare at eachother for a few second before he let out a Caw and rush at me.

"Bring it!!"

-----X-----

(3rd PoV)

Kuro met the crow mauler at the middle, the mace and the GreatSword clashed creating shockwave that could be felt across the mines. Kuro's eyes widened before he jumps back and create some distance.

'He is strong... If he is this strong in the game he should be able to blitzed the 4 MC... Its seems like this crow mauler is more powerful then his game Counterpart...' Kuro thought, before he could think any further the crow mauler rushed at him, swinging his mace in a horizontal motion. Kuro ducked and kicks the crow mauler's stomach, but the crow mauler catch the kick with his right hand.

Kuro uses the crow mauler's hand as a leverage and spins his body before sending a roundhouse kick to the crow mauler's neck, sending him crashing to the walls. A few seconds later, the crow mauler got up and rush back Kuro. Kuro sends a few [Flying Slash] towards him, but the crow mauler dodges it easily. Seeing it dosen't work, Kuro rush at the crow too, clashing once again in the middle. This time, it dosen't ended in a draw as Kuro uses [Physical Enchantment] with a significant amount of mana, boosting his physical capability 2.5x with that, he overpowers the crow mauler and manage to hit his chest with a [Flying Slash] and sending him down to the ground.

"Does that do it?" Kuro wonders. Ten seconds later Kuro sees the crow mauler stand up with a big scar on his chest. Kuro then see the crow mauler staring at him with its blank eyes.

'why is he staring at me... Wait?!'

"[Mana Shield]!" Kuro suddenly activate his [Mana Shield] just a few miliseconds after the mana Shield appears, the crow mauler suddenly appeared infront of kuro with his beaks opened, trying to munch on kuro's head. But the crow mauler couldn't eat kuro's head as his beak couldn't crush kuro's Shield.

"EAT THIS INSTEAD!!" Kuro shouts as he forms a mana ball on his right hand and sends the crow mauler flying to the roof of the mines with it before it exploded.

".... Did i get him?" Before Kuro could wonder any longer, a flocks of crows went at him. Blinding his eyes for a few seconds, before he could open his eyes, Kuro gets hit by the mace of the crow mauler, sending Kuro flying and crashing with one of the carts in the mines. Kuro landed on his knees, before he get any break he sees the crow mauler rush at him.

"Just die already!!" Kuro shouts, his GreatSword on his right hand and a

[Mana Blade] with his left hand, clashing with the crow mauler for the third time. The crow mauler could only protect himself from kuro's GreatSword, as his right hand gets chopped by kuro's mana Blade.

The crow mauler then stare at Kuro with his blank eyes once more, before sending another flocks of crows to Kuro.

"Do you think i would fall for the same trick Twice!!" Kuro shouts, sending multiple flying slashes, killing the flocks of crows. But it was a distraction, as Kuro deals with the crows, he didin't see the crow mauler taking advantage of this. The crow mauler blitz to Kuro's side and strike his mace on kuro's head, dealing massive amount of damage to Kuro.

Kuro falls down to the ground...

Then his mana suddenly burst out uncontrollably, almost making the mines caved on itself. He looks at the crow mauler with his red eyes and gold pupil cross. The crow mauler, even after showering in the madness of the fear & hunger dungeon, could feel his spine shivers. Kuro suddenly stand up and sends a bunch of Flying slashs, chopping the crow mauler's body into pieces, but it wasn't enough. Using his other hand, he forms a massive ball of mana and disintegrated the body pieces of the crow mauler into dust.

Seeing his enemy finally defeated, kuro's eyes went to normal as he fall in his back and deactivated his [physical Enchantment]. Exhausted and out of breath, he managed to summon every single potion that are left in his inventory, and chugging it all down.

-----x-----

(kuro's PoV)

"Fuck!!.... Haa.... Haa..... I almost died..." That crow mauler was really strong, probably the strongest enemy i've faced so far... If the crow mauler is already this strong, how much stronger is the traces of gro-goroth?

"Should i.... No... I've come this far, i'l finished this quest!!"

[DING! THE HOST HAS REACHED LEVEL 20! THE RING'S ABILITES WOULD BE INEFFECTIVE!] I leveled up? Let's see.

"Two levels?! The crow mauler give me a lot of exp, that fight is worth it. But... I can't continue like this. I gotta rest... If i remember there are multiple beds in level 3 prison..." I decided to go back to the level 7 basement to take the stairs upto level 3 prison. There's a iron gate blocking the path at the end of the stair case, but its not something i couldn't cut.

I also decide to kill any hostiles in the area, i didin't want a single of those things caught me sleeping. After killing all of the enemies, i walked into one of the Cell and sleep on the bed, it wasn't a great bed, but its good enough for now.
