บท 10: Ch.10

With a grin wide as the half-moon she explains

"Appraising loot will allow us to determine the price of the loot if you were to sell it and the tarot of the item"

I wonder if an item is dropped and it's considered a high rarity would all rarity be equally good? So I asked her

"Are all rare loot good? Are there some that are more superior than others?"

With a confused look on her face, she answers back

"Of course not all loot are equal, some are more useful than others, however, that's just the average. Depending on what you're looking for a below-average loot can be a high tier one for you."

With the new knowledge, I ask her for an appraisal on my loot, specifically just my sword.

"Could you take a look at my sword?"

With nothing to say she points to a room brightened by a lit candle.

I head inside this room and upon stepping in I noticed that the heat was unbarring before noticing a man looking at swords.

I walk in front of him and ask if he could appraise my sword.

Without a single glance, he tells me the swords are worth

"That sword is worthless in its current state, but luckily for you the more you use it the more it will grow. Where did you find it?"

I'm a bit confused since I thought someone needs to look at the item directly in order to appraise it, but I guess I was wrong.

Thankful for the man's service I responded back

"I found it on the first floor after fighting some monsters, it was carrying this sword on its back before I managed to kill it and take it for myself."

He responded with knowing after hearing the story behind the sword, instead he just simply stares at my sword without blinking for a minute. He was so staring at it so intensely I was getting a weird vibe from him.

After a moment of silence, he looks at me and simply responds to me with

"This sword is below average right now, I recommend you keep using it and over time you'll become its candidate "

Not knowing what he meant by the sword's candidate I simply responded back to change the topic from my swords to my other loot.

I showed him my ring that was dropped from the floor boss.

He took one good look and said

"It's worth is 30.00$"

"Can you appraise it too"

I responded to get more info regarding the ring

He quickly replies back with

"It will give you more luck"

"Luck? What does that do?"

He said nothing but pointed at the door.

Not wanting to anger the man who assisted me, I simply thank him and headed my way out.

"Hey System"

[Yea]

"What's luck"

[Luck is a stat that affects chance, probability, and destiny]

"Got it"

As I stand in the center of HQ I look around to see what I should do, go back to floor 1 or look around?

Suddenly, my stomach made a grumbling that caught the attention of those around in a 2 feet radius. With their eyes on me with some trying their best to not smile I hastily went back to the first floor.

If I can get food from loot then I might as well hunt down these monsters.

For the next 3 hours I hunted and killed, with every kill, I felt a bit of strength but weirdly it's not originating from me. Not wanting to worry I paid it no mind and continue on until I managed to stockpile some food from the loot.

"3 hours resulted in 5 pounds of meat and some a small handful of [Blood Crystal]"

With a sense of proudness, I search for a high tree and climb to the top to rest, and the hole I eat is what I haul. As I do so I kept looking around for anything notable and I managed to spot what I believe to be the new floor boss.

The only reason I believe it was the new floor boss was due to a weird feeling I get just from spectating it, I don't know how to describe it but I can say it's very similar, or even is, instinct.

The thing was a bit smaller compared to the previous version but what makes this one unique is its form. It was more human than a monster.

"So the boss came back huh, I wonder what I'll get this time if I kill it."

I ignored my senses and head towards the boss with the mindset of loots, hopefully, something useful.

As I get closer I decided to sneak up to the boss, without having to worry about other monsters I continued to inspect the boss. From what I see the boss is about 6'7 feet tall with an average body framework, very similar to a man, the thing has a pair of eyes but the rest of its face has only a pair of eyes. Like it's wearing a skin mask that shows nothing else but its golden eyes.

"Should I attack now since it's alone"

I crouch behind a tree facing the back of the boss pondering before suddenly a group of descenders surrounds the boss from all 6 sides.

I watch to see if they can successfully kill it with just themselves or if I should wait for the boss to be weakened and step in to "assist" them.

As the air around the boss and the descenders becomes still, 2 descenders, equipping a short sword and an ax, attack the boss from the right and left side. The boss tried blocking both attacks using its pair of arms but due to the descenders strength, its right limbs were cut off.

With its limbs missing the descenders that attacked quickly back off just as they strike to evade any possibility of a counterattack, but instead the boss looks at the ground in which its limbs have fallen and just stared.

"What the hell? It's just staring at the floor, is it dead? Just from missing its limbs?"

บท 11: Ch. 11

Suddenly the thing bends downward before screeching loudly, loud enough for those around it to start bleeding from their ears. Due to the damage to their hearing, the guys around it fell on their knees and struggle to regain balance on their feet. The man struggles but it was all useless as they succumbed to their imbalance and collapse. The creature walks toward one of the fallen men and holds him up by the neck, as the man struggles to free himself the creature looks at him eye-to-eye. When the man realized his efforts were useless he just stares shortly before spitting at the creature's face. This provoked attack enrages the creature so much so that it pulls its arms back before changing the shape of its hand into a spear and stabs the man through the middle abdomen. I watch as the man loses his life and is now bleeding profusely while hanging by the neck.

"Jesus, this thing is brutal"

The creature then throws the lifeless body a few feet away and walks toward the next descender who is desperately crawling away with a look of hopelessness.

"Should I step in now or after the thing finishes each of them off, the end result will be the same no matter"

As the thing gets closer to the man he then screams out.

'Help! Please, someone, help me !'

He was now crying as he was screaming.

"I guess I should step in now, maybe I can exchange my assistants for some food"

I jump downward and sprint towards the thing, luckily, it was too focused on the screaming man and was unable to notice me getting closer from the back. Once I reach a close distance I quickly drew my sword and slash toward the thing's neck.

'Aaaaahahhdhshah!'

The thing screams before turning its head towards me and screaming, the same scream that caused those men to drop to the ground. But sadly, its scream wasn't that strong nor did it cause the same effects. The reason was that I have successfully slashed a bit of the thing's neck, specifically the left side.

"I guess that's where its vocal cords for that scream was, lucky me"

When the thing realized that it couldn't perform its scream it extends its arm back to stab me. I quickly jump back out of its range of attack before it could even attack. It strikes but the range was too short and so it charges at me to close the distance, I quickly evaded the charge and landed next to a down descender. Looking around I notice a short sword next to the down man and quickly grab ahold of it. Looking up the boss is now running at me from a few feet from but was quickly getting closer. Without much thought, I threw the short sword at the boss that successfully pierced the boss's right eye. The boss now suffering from the injury inflicted on its right eye quickly tries to remove the puncturing object but struggles to pull it out due to being weakened from the fight with the descenders and losing a bit of blood from the throat. Seeing a chance to strike once again I quickly run forward while peeping for a cut and quickly slash the creature's left leg, resulting in the creature losing balance and falling. Despite losing its footing, figurative and literally, its focus remains unchanged from trying to pull the sword out of its eyes.

"Another chance for me then"

I approach forward and slash at the boss's last arm left, which was still struggling to pull the sword out. Once its arm was cut off it tries to escape by wriggling around to adjust itself before bending its last leg inward in an attempt to propel itself from the ground forward. Before it could finally release its final remaining energy to escape I cut off that leg too, leaving the creature with nothing buts its abdomen and head.

"This is just pitiful "

I slowly approach the boss and the closer I get the more the boss wriggles around while making a sad desperate cry. Not wanting to see this deformity I strike down into the thing's skull. All was silent until I see a…

"Not bad, not bad at all"

I smirked but then realized I forgot about the descenders around me. I check each and every one of them, sadly all but one perished. I quickly dragged them to a single tree side-by-side and waited until they woke back up. I decided to sit not too far and wait under a tree and noticed that throughout the fight System did not notify me of any upcoming boss attacks.

"Hey system you there?"

[Yea]

"Why didn't you help me?"

[Did you need help]

"Not anymore"

[There you go]

Annoyed I didn't further question his lack of assistance and instead focus my attention on the loot. I received a triangle object and upon opening it I received [Boots of Swift I].

"Oh nice, my shoes were pretty worn out after wearing them for 3 years now."

Upon wearing them I felt nothing has changed but as I walk back and forth I can sense my movement being a bit faster, as I notice my simple steps were creating a wider gap than usual upon every step forward.

"This might come in handy for some speed grinding"

Looking back at the body of the boss I can see that weaker creatures were appearing around due to the smell.

"Let's hunt some for the time being"

With my new loot, I quickly put it to good use as I ran faster than ever, fast enough to surprise each and every creature allowing me to strike first.

[Level Up]

After 2 hours I was able to loot some food and parts from most of the monsters. As my fatigue reach a certain threshold I sat down and rest.
