บท 5: Another ability?
As I left. I waited for the female intern to leave.
From my gaming experience, I learned that it is possible to enter any place at the right time. After watching her for a while, I learned that she leaves to get water every 20 mins or 30 mins.
'I'll finish my endless waiting until she goes. But first, I have to find a safe place to hide. That toilet looks good.'
[Endless: Stage 1]
[Would you like to enter? YES/NO]
I chose [YES].
*Woosh*
As the scenery changed, I noticed the fresh air and refreshing greenery. I was enjoying them until I saw the window.
[Stage 1: Starting in 15 seconds]
Of course, I knew what is going to happen next. So I warmed up.
[Stage 1: Starting in 0 seconds]
10 Treants spawned 15 meters in front of me from the peaceful-looking trees' roots. They looked like walking small pine trees with horrific hollow faces.

MP None
Skills:
> Scream (30 damage, in 3 meters on death)

I wondered what that [Scream] skill is, but it didn't seem too much, considering I could just run away from them. They were coming at me slightly slower than the skeletons, giving me the chance to shoot and run them.
It took me 4.5 seconds to fire three arrows, which killed five of them after three hits to their heads. Another 5 of them were coming closer. I shot them as they were getting closer.
As shameful as it is to say this, I let my guard down and forgot about their skills. I killed them all, and 5 of them emitted a scream so loud it could shatter my ears.
[EXP 280/370]
[Gold: 560 (+400)]
'I can see the exp and gold going up, but all I can hear now is a high-pitched noise, and my world is going round. I want to vomit. I checked my health:'
[HP 612.5/760]
I felt blood trickling down my right ears, grabbed a cloth, and dried them until my regeneration is done.
'I guess I let my guard down too much after the previous stage. Still, this is what it feels like to receive damage. It feels so natural and painful.'
I went back to the real world and rested on the toilet for a couple of minutes. Based on the time, the lady should be out for a drink in 10 minutes. So I prepared myself and went into hiding near the dungeon entrance.

[Boots of Speed (+0.5 m/s) <500 gold>]
[Smoke of Deceit (20 seconds invisibility until the enemy gets within 7-meter range) <50 gold>]
[Gold: 10] <-550>
'I'm poor now, but it's okay. I need to move faster and more silently. I don't want to be caught by any CCTV. By the way, thinking about it now, the lady seems to know something about dungeons. I don't even know, nor have I ever heard anything about it until I got these abilities, so how does she know?'
As I was thinking about it, the time seemed to have come.
She left, and I went inside the [Kobold Dungeon] silently and quickly.
It felt so silent and tranquil when I went inside, just like in the forest in stage 1. However, of course, an ugly gray, short, fat-looking creature screeched out of its lungs and went to attack me.
I was surprised by its speed, but luckily it went down after three shots.
'I should be careful. Their speed is nearly equal to mine even with the boots of speed. I have to run and shoot them immediately when I find one.'
Just as I was being cautious, 3 of them came up after the corner. What bad luck!
*whack* One of them used their wooden planks as a weapon against my leg, and it hurt, like getting kicked on my bone.
[HP 722.5/760 <2.5 hp/s>]
I could see blood gushing out of it, but I still ran away and shot them without pause. If they catch up to me, I'll receive more damage.
Finally, after some running away, they died too. This strategy seems to be the strongest for now. I'll keep this up until there's a different pattern.
Unfortunately, they were not giving me any rest. Another 5 of them came at me.
"I think they heard me running, and can you guys please stop screeching? More kobolds are going to go if you do." I said to them getting annoyed, despite knowing the fact that they can't understand me.
I did the same strategy; I ran and shot them while they were chasing me. And when they died, another group of them came,
'Are you kidding me? I have already repeated this cycle 4-5 times, and I'm fairly exhausted. I want to rest for a bit, but I can't because I can hear footsteps.'
[Exhaustion: -30% movement speed for 2 minutes]
I seem to be lucky today. Haha... a big one came, the [Kobold King].
[Kobold King]
[HP 800/800]
[MP 200/200]
His size was tremendously huge when I see him closely, around 3 meters tall.
However, contrary to his size, he was fast, and I was screwed. He came to me with his giant club and swung them down. I, however, shot my arrow faster than he did, and he missed his attack.
'Yeah, luckily, his swings seem to be predictable, as long as I can *oof*
[660/760] <-100>
He kicked me in the stomach. I didn't expect that at all, and what's more, it was 100 damage.
'I'm screwed. I let my guards down too many times today.'
I woke up and ran and shot him. He seemed to have around 70% of his HP left after hitting him three times.
Run, shoot, focus, predict. That's all I was thinking of at that time. Only 20% of his hp was left. Just a bit more,
'what!? **oof**'
[660/760] <-100>
That hurt! He threw his club when he was pretty far away. I thought I was safe. If it weren't for the [Feast <Passive>] skill, I would've had been in trouble trying to sustain myself.
Then I shot him, and he died, vanishing like the others. Only this time, something popped out of the window. Of course, it's automatically put into my inventory.

I leveled up twice at once, and what's more, 1000 gold?
'Sweet, dungeons are not that terrible, but they also hurt an awful lot.'
After levelling twice, a window opened up:
