Chapter 5: Ch. 4 – Is this the power of the System?

-17 

A bright white number shown over the skeleton's head. Taking another look, he found that the skeleton had lost a small chunk of its health. 

???? ⌈Skeleton⌋ {Lv. 1}

Swinging his sword downward onto the skeleton's head, a brighter red number shot out over the skeleton's head before vanishing with an added word to the number.

*Crack

Crit* -32

???? ⌈Skeleton⌋ {Lv. 1}

The health bar shook before the health lowered to the skeleton's current hp.

???? ⌈Skeleton⌋ {Lv. 1}

Striking again once more he smashes the skeleton, killing it.

Slain ???? ⌈Skeleton⌋ {Lv. 1} gained 7 xp
Drops: ⌈Bronze Coin x1⌋ ⌈Bone Shard x1⌋

A bronze coin along with a skeleton bone shard dropped after defeating the skeleton in the dungeon. "This..." The man couldn't speak with how amazed he was about the skeleton drops. It has long been proved for thousands of years that dungeons do not drop anything asides from the dungeon chests that are within the dungeon itself.

For thousands of years, dungeons have operated where they create desirable treasures chests with amazing loot. And it has long been the trend to have a strong scout with the team to avoid as many monsters as possible, as they only caused danger with no real benefit besides a deadly training partner.

Long have been dungeons seen as a place for people to die in. Only few adventurers who have climbed to S rank gained lucky encounters in their dungeons to grow to where they are currently. Dungeons are seen as this sort of dangerous place to collect materials, and there have been stories of adventurers striking it rich by gaining a treasure chest in their encounter.

 

Coal Ralso couldn't help but touch the coin all over, it's a real bronze coin! "How rich I can get with this!" Thinking of all the wonderful things he could buy with this amount of money made him so happy to take a chance with the unknown being that called itself system. If I kill nine more skeletons, I can get a decent meal I would usually get once a week in a day.

Looking over to the skeleton bone shard, he picks it up with a wary. The skeleton has already turned to particles, disappearing as the mana returned into the dungeon to be recycled. "This also dropped..." Picking it up he felt it was somewhat light and sturdy, squeezing it, the bone didn't break like it would usually do.

I usually train my sword skills by fighting skeletons, not only are they slow to attack and move, they are also loud. No newbie has ever died to a skeleton unless they were cornered, but by then you have already messed up. In this dungeon, there is no more than one or two skeletons you have to fight at the same time.

I usually kill about 30 skeletons to search this dungeon for its treasure chest. It's rare, but the items from this small dungeon are decent for my way of living. I tried to get {D} rank adventurer, but I failed the exam, now with this I can finally get some good gear!

 

Coal Ralso went deeper into the dungeon with a slight smile on his face, a rare emotion. As he kept killing the skeletons, he gained more experience and felt it was energizing him somehow.

Slain ???? ⌈Skeleton⌋ {Lv. 1} gained 7 xp
Drops: ⌈Bone Shard x1⌋

"So the drops are random? I sometimes get coins, bone shard, both, or none. And the amount of them also changes, to the highest being 2 bone shards at once." A little while later he killed another skeleton it shattered into particles and the last of his experience bar maxed out levelling him up.

Leveled Up!
