2023-02-12 14:56:44[Answer: The higher the level of the defeated monsters, the more Exp will be obtained to level up]
"Can you find out how many levels other people or monsters are by scanning?" asked Raff.
[Answer: No. But you can estimate the opponent's level after defeating it. Later it will calculate the Exp obtained and estimate the enemy level from the calculation]
"It's very complicated. But that means I can't know other people's levels. The only way is to ask directly or look at the adventurer's card," Raff muttered. He took out his adventurer card. It turned out that his current level was still level 1.
"Can't I exchange it huh? If this continues then I will be underestimated like in the real world," Raff thought.
[Answer: It's useless to exchange it. If the item used is still the same, it will still be damaged]
"What a smartass you are," said Raff as he walked back to Norn City. This time Raff took a different route. He entered the countryside out of curiosity about the lives of ordinary citizens in the fantasy world.
Raff smelled the fragrant aroma of food from an eatery in the village. The aroma made his stomach make noise. A natural thing, because since yesterday he hasn't eaten anything. Raff decided to eat there while resting. It seemed that the atmosphere in the restaurant was quite, there were only four adventurers eating there.
"Welcome sir. Please have a seat," said a blue-haired girl with a smile.
"Thank you," Raff replied.
"What would you like to order, sir?" asked the girl.
"Mia! Bring me more grilled fish!" shouted an adventurer who was eating.
"Yes, wait!" said the blue-haired girl, whose name was Mia. She was the daughter of the shop owner.
"I want to order this fragrant food, I just came here for the first time so I don't know its name," Raff replied. Mia smiled at that.
"It's our specialty, spiny grilled fish," Mia replied.
"Alright. Please bring a portion for me," Raff said.
"Drink?" asked Mia.
"Just plain water," Raff replied.
Mia nodded and left. She quickly told Raff's order to her father in the kitchen. Meanwhile, her mother brought another customer's order. Soon Mia came back with a portion of grilled spiny fish for Raff along with a glass of water.
Raff immediately ate the food on his plate. The texture of the meat, aroma, spices and some other things are very different from those in the real world. But the taste is very delicious. If only that food existed in the real world, there would definitely be many fans.
"Maybe I also need to bring food from here to sell in the real world later. It could also be the other way around. But to do so requires careful preparation and a lot of capital," Raff thought.
"Maybe I need to recruit them later if my business plan works," Raff thought while looking at Mia who was cleaning the table nearby. Her mother was seen bringing water to the four adventurers who had finished their food.
The four adventurers who were there immediately stood up to leave after finishing the drinking water that Mia's mother brought. Raff was surprised that the four adventurers sounded like they didn't want to pay for their food.
"Food with bad taste like this is impossible for us to pay for!" snapped the adventurers when asked for payment by Mia's mother. Mia's father even came straight out of the kitchen when he heard the commotion.
"But sir. We live from this shop, if you do that then we'll go bankrupt," Mia's father said.
"What do we care!" snapped the adventurer as he pushed Mia's father's body to the ground.
"Why have I always met jerks since coming to this world? Is this world also as bad as the real world?" thought Raff as he stood up.
Raff walked over to approach the four adventurers. But his hand was grabbed by Mia. Raff looked back. Mia was seen shaking her head as a signal for Raff not to interfere.
"You don't have to worry. Despite my appearance, I am also an adventurer," Raff said.
"That's not the problem, sir. But ... if you make a scene here then we will still be affected later. We have experienced this very often. If you really feel sorry for us, you should not interfere," Mia explained while looking down.
Raff sighed deeply and sat back down to eat. Meanwhile, Mia's father was seen being kicked by two adventurers. Mia's mother tried to block even though in the end she fell because she was hit by the adventurer's kick. Raff could only clench his hands into fists. The turmoil of anger in his chest intensified because he couldn't stand to see two old people being beaten by burly adventurers.
"Next time you better not mess with us!" snapped the adventurer as he walked away.
"Bye Mia!" said one adventurer as he waved his hand to Mia as if he didn't feel guilty.
Mia immediately went to her mother and father after the adventurers left. They could be heard crying. Mia's father's face looked bruised and his clothes were getting dirty because of the sandals and shoes worn by the adventurers. Raff stood up and approached the three of them. He was still confused as to why Mia had forbidden him from interfering.
"Thank you, sir," Mia's father said.
"Thank you? For what?" asked Raff confused.
"Mia said that you are an adventurer. We thank you for not helping," Mia's father replied with a cough.
"Eh? I feel like I'm getting a headache," said Raff.
Mia's mother then told the story that every week there were always adventurers looking for trouble. The adventurer was always different every week. But they were sure it was all the work of the nobles who didn't like them.
They used to sell in Norn City. But the shop owned by someone close to the nobles felt rivaled by the success of their shop. With the help of the nobles in Norn City, Mia's family was finally expelled subtly from Norn City. The trick is that the tax money requested by the city government suddenly increases specifically for them on the grounds of the progress of the shop.
Then every day there were always adventurers who messed up and accused that their cooking was poisonous. The regular customers eventually dwindled because they were scared and affected by the accusations of the hired adventurers. They eventually returned to their village and chose to sell in their village.
But every week there are always adventurers looking for trouble. Seven months ago there was an adventuring party that helped them when they were harassed. But the troublesome adventurers came again the next day and attacked their shop. Mia's sister was taken away by them.
One week later Mia's sister was found dead naked in the river with wounds all over her body. Even so, they continued the shop because they had no other income because Mia's father was too old by now and had no other skills other than cooking. That's why they're grateful to Raff now for not helping. They didn't want Mia to suffer the same fate as her sister.
"I misunderstood. Apparently this world is just as bad as the real world," Raff thought after hearing Mia's family story.
"Why don't you try reporting to the kingdom? If it continues like this, they will take Mia even if there are no adventurers to help you," asked Raff.
"It's useless, sir. No one will believe poor people like us. The kingdom will definitely prefer nobles to defend," Mia's mother replied.
"Then why don't you just move?" asked Raff.
"It's useless, sir. There used to be a family of blacksmiths who had the same fate as us. They moved away from here. But they were still harassed by the noble's mercenary adventurers. One by one, their families were wiped out over a long period of time," Mia's father replied.
"I understand," Raff replied. Mia and her mother immediately took her father away to a resting place in the tavern. Soon Mia came back to Raff to thank him.
"You don't need to thank me. How much did the food cost?" asked Raff.
"Just one silver coin, sir," Mia replied.
"Eh? That's really cheap," Raff was surprised.
"All right. Here's your fee," Raff replied as he handed Mia two silver coins.
"Sorry, sir. But this is excess," Mia said as she handed over one silver coin.
"Take it. To cover your father's medical expenses," Raff said.
"No, sir. Your actions earlier have made us grateful," Mia refused.
"Then in return, answer one question from me. Consider it money in exchange for answering my question," said Raff.
"Question?" said Mia in confusion.
"Yes. If you had the power to defeat the four adventurers. What would you do?" asked Raff with a smile.
"Eh?" muttered Mia. She was pensive long enough to answer Raff's question.
"I would probably finish off the four of them by torturing them to death," Mia replied with a look of anger in her eyes.
"Interesting. Thank you for the answer. Just take the money in exchange for your answer," Raff said with a smile. He immediately left Mia's family's shop.
"I like people who aren't naive like her. Evil should be punished in a fitting way or worse so that it doesn't breed further. People like them don't deserve to live in any world," Raff muttered with a grin. He ran with all his might in the direction the four adventurers had gone.

Chapter 302: The Final War
The convergence point Aniel chose sat on a stretch of dead salt flat in the real world, a place where an ancient lakebed had dried into cracked white plates that stretched toward every horizon without a single tree or hill to break the line of sight, and Raff understood why the moment he stood on it. Nothing here could burn that hadn't already burned a thousand years ago. Nothing here could collapse onto soldiers who needed room to fight something that answered to no single element or tactic. He had asked Chloe, during her fifth visit, whether a battlefield spanning two worlds at once could even be held in one place, and she had told him that the seal's remaining strength, thin as it now was, could be bent toward exactly this kind of convergence, provided he understood that bending it further would hasten its collapse regardless of how the fight ended.He gave the order anyway. Seven names, seven targets, and no way to strike at all of them gradually without giving the others time to
Chapter 301: The Seven Names
Chloe's borrowed shape held for nearly six hours the second time she returned, long enough that Raff had her sit with Aniel while he sent for parchment and ink, because whatever came next needed to be written down rather than trusted to memory alone, hers or his. Aniel took the account the way she took every report now, without interrupting, though her pen slowed more than once as Chloe described the shape of a curse passed from a dying demon into an unborn child, and slowed again when she reached the part about ten sacred systems scattered across a world that had never known to look for them.It was the new skill from the hundredth floor that gave them their first real thread to pull. Raff tested Seal Sight the same evening Chloe's borrowed body faded again, standing alone in the inn's back courtyard and reaching for whatever sense the skill had opened in him, and found that it responded not to sight in any ordinary way but to a kind of pressure behind his eyes, a pull toward anythin
Chapter 300: The Truth of the Seal
Chloe returned to him four days later, appearing in the same inn room just past dawn while Raff was still lacing his boots, and this time she did not hesitate at the window the way she had before. She sat across from him on the narrow bench, her borrowed body steadier than it had been the first morning, though the tremor in her hands never fully went away, a faint shiver she kept trying to hide by folding her fingers into her sleeves.She told him that she had spent the days between her visits gathering enough of herself back together to explain what she had never been allowed to say before, and that the seal on the hundredth floor breaking had loosened more than just her voice. It had loosened the restrictions that kept her from speaking about her own binding at all.She began with the deal itself, the one Raff had made all those years ago beside a riverbank in the rain, back when he had been nothing more than a beaten, furious young man willing to trade anything for a way out of his
Chapter 299: The Girl Made of Light
Raff woke to the smell of dust and cold stone still clinging to his skin, though the ceiling above him was not black glass but the familiar wooden beams of the inn room they had taken in Norn City after climbing out of the dungeon. His body ached in a way that no amount of sleep seemed to touch, a deep soreness settled into his bones that Elena's healing magic had only dulled rather than erased. He lay still for a moment, listening to the quiet murmur of the others somewhere beyond the door, before he became aware that he was not alone in the room.A girl stood beside his bed.His first thought was that he was still dreaming, that his mind had simply carried the shape of her voice into something his eyes could finally see, the way it always did in the strange, floating spaces where they sometimes met. But the light coming through the shutters fell across her the same way it fell across the washbasin and the chair by the door, catching dust motes that drifted between them, and dust mot
Chapter 298: The Guardian Beneath the Seal
The corridors past the ninetieth floor narrowed again, as if the fortress had decided that whatever waited below deserved less room to breathe. Raff kept the fireball low and close, watching it flicker against black glass floors that grew smoother the deeper they went, until Nekota finally admitted that the ground felt less like stone underfoot and more like something that had been poured once, long ago, and never allowed to properly set.Rhia counted the floors under her breath as they descended, a habit she'd picked up somewhere around the sixty-fifth level and never dropped. Ninety-four. Ninety-six. Ninety-eight. No guardians rose to meet them. No carvings lined the walls. The silence had a different texture down here, thick enough that Frisca kept glancing over her shoulder even though nothing followed.The ninety-ninth floor ended in a staircase carved from the same black glass as the floor, spiraling downward into a light that came from nowhere Raff could identify, pale and blue
Chapter 297: The Ninetieth Floor
The violet crystal light thinned as they descended, replaced somewhere past the seventy-fourth floor by a darkness so complete that even Naviel's earth-sense struggled to read the shape of the walls around them. Raff kept a small fireball burning above his palm for most of that stretch, though the flame guttered strangely whenever it passed close to the stone, as if something in the rock itself resented the intrusion of ordinary light.The guardians thinned out as well. Where the sixtieth floor had thrown towering constructs of fused stone and blackened metal at them without pause, the corridors below the seventy-fifth floor sat empty for hours at a stretch, disturbed only by the echo of their own footsteps and the occasional groan of settling rock somewhere far above. Frisca found the silence worse than the fighting had been. She said, more than once, that a dungeon this deep should not feel abandoned, that something built with this much care did not simply run out of things to defen
