"If you say it like that then I will go and get the supplements and the things that you recommended just in case.
" Randy finally gave in and said.
n
"Please do.
" Zophia smiled upon hearing his reply.
n
"Alright, then I will take my leave now.
" Randy said afterward.
nHe then bid his farewell to Zophia, turned around once again, and then left the building shortly after. Right now, his destination was the market area in the Alpheotus city to purchase the things that Zophia had recommended.
nAfter he left, Zophia suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead before muttering to herself:
"I forget to tell him that the time flow inside the dungeon is different from the outside world. Seriously, how could someone not know anything about dungeons but still want to become a dungeon hunter?
"
n'Then again, why did have his hair slump over his face like that? I could barely see his eyes. He seems like he would be pretty handsome if he just cut his bangs a little. Well, I hope he comes back alive. Though I highly doubt anything would happen to him. But still, It's been a long time since we have a prospect talent in our society in this branch. Not to mention, he is at a monstrous level in terms of talent. I can't wait to witness and hear about his achievements in the future.' She quietly thought to herself afterward in anticipation.
n…
nAfter heeding to Zophia's words, Randy went to the market to purchase some dry meat and some other non-perishable food. He also bought some low-grade potions even though he already had the potions from his world.
nThe reason for his actions was to ensure that when he was asked by Zophia about whether he had bought the potions, he would have something to show or prove that he did follow her advice.
nFurthermore, he bought a leather armor that cost him 5 gold.
nAlthough it was expensive considering that he only had so many gold cards on him upon arriving in the city, he still bought it anyway as he needed to act as a bona fide dungeon hunter would.
nAfterward, Randy followed the map given to him by Zophia and proceeded to head to the beasts dungeon in hurried steps. He could not afford to return back to city late at night because there was a chance that the city gate would be closed if he somehow got delayed by an unknown factor.
nNot to mention, he truly planned on hunting more beasts than required if possible because he did not have much time in this world to afford to laze around.
nWith that thought in mind, he picked up the pace and after walking for about two to three hours, he finally reached his destination according to the map in his hand.
nRandy looked around in hopes of finding the dungeon, but he did not find anything within the vicinity, and only found something that looked like a gate, or more precisely, it looked more like a standing mirror placed in the field. That was because there was a glass in the middle of the gate that was in front of him.
n'Is this the dungeon? Zophia said that I only needed to place my hand on the door to enter the dungeon. So should I put my hand on this mirror-looking thing?' Randy wondered, but he did not think too long and proceeded to act right away.
nRandy walked in front of the mirror gate and without hesitation placed his left hand on it and proceeded to wait for a moment.
nFwoosh!
nAnd right away, a sudden blinding light with a strong suction force abruptly pulled him into the mirror without being able to resist this suction force. If one observed from behind, they would noticed that it appeared as though he has been teleported inside the mirror gate, which was most likely the dungeon.
nWhen he came to, he found out that he was inside some hallway with torch lights placed on the walls of this hallway, lighting the path to the destination ahead.
n'Oh, what is this place?'
nRandy curiously looked around and found out that he was in some ancient-looking hallway that spans about a few meters in front of him.
nWhen he looked in the distance, he found something that looked like the portals from dimensional rifts.
nThe system has detected a new challenger to the dungeon of beasts. Proceeding with implementation of the challenger's leveling system
nPlease wait…
nError! Unable to implement the system
nAttempting implementation one more time
n
"What's going on? What's that voice just now? Wait, this voice is familiar somehow... It sounded almost like my system before it went mute after its upgrade. Is that the challenger's leveling system that Zophia was talking about earlier? Then why did it fail to fuse with me? System…
"
nAlmost as if it could read his mind, his system hesitantly displayed a few lines of text.
nDetected a sentient entity attempting to bind with your consciousness. The system has successfully blocked its attempt in doing so
nWould you permit this unknown sentient entity to bind with your consciousness? The system prompted afterward.
n
"What?! Why did you block it? I need this challenger's leveling system to level up, so why did you block it?
" Randy was genuinely bewildered this time, but he soon gave up and said:
"Whatever, I permit it.
"
n…Response Acknowledged The system replied after a while, seemingly displeased with his response.
nThe system has successfully implemented the challenger's leveling system
nCongratulations, you have been successfully bound with the challenger's leveling system. You have now obtained the title 'Challenger'
nChallenger: When you defeat a certain amount of creatures within the dungeons in this world, your level would increase and your strength would increase in proportion to your increased level. However, the system has the authority to strip the leveling system from the challengers that refuse to challenge dungeons within a certain duration, or if they do not get used to their acquired attributes before they lose their effects and dissipates
nThe challenger's leveling system firmly stated.
n
"What does that mean?
" Randy asked, baffled.
nThrough the challenger's leveling system, the user would be able to increase his strength in the forms of enhancement or potential boosting. However, you would have a certain amount of days to get used to the increase in your attributes before they turn into invalid attributes
nIf the user to do not comply with this rule, you would not only lose all the untrained attributes obtained after leveling up, but your level would also decrease in proportion to amount of attributes you lost. As a result, you would have to start all over again from your previous state to regain your lost level, and then recover the lost attributes
nThe challenger's leveling system explained.
n
"What?! Something like that exists? Wait a second, then how do I get used to my attributes? If I don't know that, then I will simply end up blindly leveling up and losing it all over again.
" Randy doubtfully asked after his initial shock.
nThe user only needed to use his skills or simply break the limits of his body to achieve the 'synergy' between his skills and body. Achieving this would increase the chances of your attributes transferring over to your body, which would also prevent the attributes from dissipating after the termination deadline The challenger's leveling system responded.
n
"I see… So, in other words, I just need to train my body and skills every time I level up? And then afterward, I get to keep all the attributes I acquired through leveling up as my own? Otherwise, it would simply disappear even though I would have to work hard to obtain them?
" Randy nodded in understanding.
n
"Okay, I understand, so can I go into that portal right now?
"
nAffirmative
nRandy then walked away while following the path in the illuminated hallway, as he pondered something to himself.
nAfter a while, when he reached the portal in the distance, a notification suddenly resounded in his ears, seemingly from the challenger's leveling system.
nDetected the unyielding and determined will of the challenger
nA Challenger's Quest have been created to guide the challenger in his pursuit of power
