“Die!” The boss frog swiftly thrust his dagger, but it barely missed Myles’ throat. However, at the same time, Myles’ ankle struck the same location as before: the ribs. And the cracks grew, causing multiple ribs to break. “Ngh!” The boss frog felt air escaping his lungs as a great pain gripped his chest.Myles threw a punch, forcing the boss frog to counter with the dagger, but Myles withdrew his punch at the last second and launched another kick. It landed well; however, the boss frog grabbed and locked his leg between the arm and torso.Myles used his support and threw another kick from the opposite side. This time to the face. Though the boss frog defended it with one hand, the strike still hit his head and made his whole brain buzz. He was forced to let go of Myles’ leg. (To think I fell for a feint…) His pride was hurt much more now.Myles didn’t give him the time to breathe. He came swinging his fist big-time, getting an immediate reaction from the pissed-off boss who swiped hi

The guard sitting outside the sewage tunnel was yawning. He looked in Ria’s direction. She was sitting under a tree shade, seemingly meditating.“It’s been more than a day, Miss. He’s probably dead, so I think it’s better you leave,” the guard said, but she didn’t respond. (My shift will end soon, so why should I care?)Just then, Ria stood.(Is she leaving?) The guard wondered, and then he heard footsteps coming from inside the tunnel. He quickly stood and grabbed his spear. It could be a human or a monster, so he was ready to fight if needed.Moments later, Myles entered his view. Moreover, he had a yellowish energy glowing around him. “This…” his eyes bulged open. “It can’t be… that’s the dungeon energy enveloping you. Don’t tell me… y-you conquered the dungeon all by yourself?”“I was wondering why it stuck to me, but can you explain what’s happening to me?” Myles asked politely.“Y-You don’t know?” The guard looked bewildered. “When a person conquers a dungeon alone, a part of th

Venture City was made of 52 districts, and every district generally had its own trash street where all the garbage would be collected, and the mages from different guilds would take turns to burn the trash.It was the Dawn guild’s turn this time. Actually, another guild had pushed it on the Dawn guild on purpose.Sercy, with her ability, could burn the trash into ashes with her flaming ability. However, because of her pride, she didn’t accept the cleaning job. Still, after Myles had taken the job, she changed her mind.If someone who wasn’t even part of the guild was willing to clean up the trash, what should a senior guild member like her do?Wanting to set an example, she rushed over to Trash Street first. However, to her bewilderment, the street looked very clean. There were no signs of ashes, either.“Who cleaned up the street?” she asked a local guard that was guarding the neighboring street.The guard explained a long story, but at the end, Sercy realized that even the guard did

“Y-You don’t want to join the guild?” Sercy’s eyes almost bled even though Myles never shouted or anything. “P-Please tell me you’re kidding. I let you take on three missions from our guild even though you didn’t join the guild. Is this how you are going to repay us?”“T-That’s…” Myles frowned. “You can take the reward money. All of it. I cleared a D-rank dungeon, and I even brought some weapons out with me. You can take all of it.”Sercy’s face was filled with anger. “How do I look to you? You think I’ll take money that belongs to you? How would I be able to sleep if I steal your money? I wouldn’t even get forty winks, I’m sure.”“Then what should we do?” Myles was at a loss for words.“Just join the guild as you said you would,” Sercy softly said and tried to smile. “The Dawn guild is no longer enjoying even a hundredth of its former glory… but it still used to be one of the top three guilds in the country until a few years ago. I’m not telling you this to make you join us out of pi

The Dungeon Bureau was a large organization with many divisions. All worked together to keep the city safe and peaceful by systematically controlling the dungeons through venerers.However, most of these workers were arrogant and looked down on the common population and even the low-ranked venerers or guilds.So, Sercy told Myles and Ria in advance to not feel offended or annoyed if they were treated poorly.As Myles followed Sercy on foot, he observed the city and saw that it was much different from other cities he had been to in this world.“Back in Cobra city, it’s pretty difficult for common citizens to come across these crystals,” Myles said, “but in this city, it seems the exact opposite. There are a lot more mages here. And they are even selling weapons outside.”“Yes, but the star crystals and any good weapon is still controlled by the bureau,” Sercy said. “They sell them for abnormal prices, so buying from the bureau is not possible unless you’re either filthy rich or you’re
