บท 8: BOSS Battle!

I know I am assuming that I will get a waifu.

This gacha might even bring me some kind of faceless mannequin-like heroes, in that case, I guess I can't really expect a waifu that can warm my bed at night.

Or maybe I will end up summoning burly old men wearing armor and no girls at all.

Or the gacha is about monsters or pets, and I don't even get a humanoid creature.

…Well, whatever type of gacha it is, I need Orbs to summon.

And whatever it will give me, it will be better than how I am.

Before stepping into the next room, I decided to check my Status.

…

[Name: [Gustav]

[Race: [Human]

[Element: [Null]

[Weapon Type: [Any]

[Orbs: 0]

[Gold: 130]

[Hero Feathers: 0]

[Job: [Summoner]

[Skill Points: 13]

[System Rank: 1]

[Level: [03/10]

[Vitality: [30/30]

[Mana: [1.200/1.200]

[Strength: [30]

[Magic: [190]

[Dexterity: [39]

[Skills: [Summon]

[Summoned Heroes: None.

…

Oh, I see.

I leveled two times, and I got a good amount of stats.

It seems that I get 10 Vitality per level and… 100 Mana per level?! That's way more than my vitality.

Does this game has growth rates for each separate stat?

Wait, this is not a game…

My magic seems to have increased by 20 per level, and my Dexterity by 12 per level… My strength by 10 per level just like Vitality.

I guess I suck.

Well, I have never done too much exercise, that I am not actually fat is a miracle. Maybe because I am not obsessed with eating either, I just appease all of my desires by writing like an insane madman.

God, I wish I could have at least one single offensive Spell, maybe I could finally use that big Magic and Mana I got.

Come on, System, can I get Skills through the Skill Points I have?

Ding!

[You can acquire Skills by extracting them from summoned Heroes]

[After a Skill extraction, the summoned Hero will disappear]

So there's not a Skill Shop but I can get Skills by stealing them from a Hero I summon… I guess I have an idea what I am going to do to the ones that end up at low Stars…

Or not?

Well the dilemma is rather big, having loyal summons that can serve is nice, so maybe I won't extract their Skills as fast…

Anyways, enough of this, I will have time to think about this profoundly afterward.

I decide to step into the last dungeon room, Room 4.

It seems to be exactly the same as before… around 20 x 20 meters, and empty at the beginning…

Ding!

[Welcome to Room 4 of the Tutorial Dungeon!]

[This is the last Room of the Tutorial Dungeon, rejoice!]

[After completing this, you will be able to gain 20 Orbs, I bet you want to summon already, don't you?]

Goddamn, I hate Systems that speak… But I guess this one doesn't interact with me, it just has these annoying dialogs.

I bet the one that created them must be a real stick in the ass to be with.

[In this Tutorial Dungeon, you will learn about [Boss]-type Monsters!]

Boss…? Shit, I knew it…

[Boss]-type Monster swill be present in any Dungeon you enter, and they are very strong versions of the monsters you have fought in that dungeon]

[They possess great resilience and power, and can very much kill you if you lower your guard even for a single second!]

[However, they are the last challenge inside Dungeons, after defeating them, you complete the dungeon and earn great rewards!]

[Make sure to check the Boss' patterns and use them to your advantage!]

[Don't worry, there will be a few Totems to help you out!]

[Good luck!]

The voice stops speaking as several magic circles emerge over the floor.

Three of them appear as totems at the corner of the room, while a large shadow emerges in the middle of it.

It suddenly opens its crimson eyes, eerily glaring at me with immense bloodthirst.

It has snow-white fur, a large and muscular body, enormous feet that could kick me to death, and a long, sharp horn that could easily pierce my heart or kill me instantly by piercing my head…

Eh? It's just a damn giant horned rabbit!

"KYYUUUUUU!"

The giant horned rabbit is around four meters tall, and it roars monstrously!

FLASH!

It quickly charges at me without giving me a monologue like Bosses usually do!

I quickly use my enhanced body after leveling and receiving the buff from the previous room totems, darting away from its way!

A good thing is that the damn rabbit is way too big, so it has an even harder time changing direction.

It quickly hits the wall behind me, and its enormous horn gets stuck!

I raise my bat and begin hitting it in the side!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Ungh, my bat is barely getting through, it has a ton of Vitality.

I am pretty sure I don't have an Appraisal Skill, but I can see that the beast HP bar is barely decreasing.

"KYUU!"

However, its eyes gleam with crimson red light, as it moves its back feet!

CLASH!

The enormous feet suddenly hit me directly, as the rabbit managed to swiftly move towards me.

The enormous force threw me into the other corner of the room.

The pain is tremendous.

I think a few of my ribs broke.

Fuck…

I suddenly vomit blood, as I can barely move.

I am really rushing things, I didn't think that it could simply kick me like that. I assumed it would be hopeless like the other rabbits, which cannot kick me due to being so small.

But this guy is gigantic… He was able to easily kick me away with ease.

I glance at the HP Bar, I barely took away 30%... Ungh…

It hurts like hell.

I see as the rabbit struggles to free itself until it finally manages to get the horn out of the wall.

I have to get up.

Get up, damn it.

GET UP!

I brace myself as I use the slight superhuman capabilities given to me by leveling and the buff of the totems, as I faintly touch the totem lying right next to me.

For fuck's sake, heal me…

[You have touched the [Strength and Dexterity Totem]! Strength and Dexterity +20% for 10 minutes]

You've gotta be kidding me.

Tough luck, huh?
