Chapter 30 – Danger city trial.

Words : 1864 Updated : Sep 10th, 2025

After I accepted the quest from the adventurer guild, I quickly left city and headed towards the forest."…" (Wow…. Even this place is massive, even though I didn't even entered I can straight up tell because of those tall ass trees!) (This does give a huge fantasy vibe.) (But, the thing that she said is bit worrying.) Dugu are monsters with level around 80, but that isn't the main problem. They hunt together. (I'm level 70, but the people that came before me were probably level 60.) (The 20 level difference is 200 stat points and 100 class points difference.) (However, the players have access to the stuff like weapons and armor and so far, the monster I fought were only a little smart at the best, but that it.) (Not only that, players can get titles and have their skills level grow by combat and other stuff, making themselves stronger in the process.) (However considering the fact that all players failed means that they weren't strong enough.) (They probably didn't had good enough equipment and didn't had enough titles.) (As for me?) (I may have a chance, but only a chance. I don't know if I have 100% or 50% at winning or losing.) (Fuck me. I'm really getting nervous right now.) "…" (Okay…. Let's go over my weapons again.) (With my poison magic, I can try and fight like a coward and wait for my enemy to die by the poison effect.) (I also have tamed monsters and summoned monsters that I can use at frontlines and as meat shields, but they may end up getting screwed.) (I also have this new skill.) [Chaos Researcher: First Research – Plague] [ Skill [Plague Aura] ] [Skill type: Passive – Category: Aura / Debuff / Poison] [Enemies near you will take increased damage taken from the poison damage overtime by the enemies by X%. X is equal to the class level times 1%, this effect works with multiple poisons effects. This only works with your poison and plague effects] [Aura range: Y meters. Y is equal to the skill level times 2.] [The effect of the aura doesn't lingers outside the its range.] (This is honestly quiet interesting skill.) (However…. Right now, it has only range of 2 meters in all directions and only increase poison damage by 1%.... It will be good at level 10… But right now, its trash.) (The only benefits its that the aura is in all directions 2 meters and the fact that its passive.) (However…. FUCK ME!) (If I try to do my tactic with the hiding and spreading the plague, this skill will straight up alarm them about me being nearby!) (Fuck me!) (I would rather take something like 2.5% damage increase at level 10 without any range resection instead, since it wouldn't reveal my location.) "…" (Well, at least I can turn it off and on, so I can at least have some means of hiding it?) (Anyway, let's just forget about it and focus on the task at hand.) (I'm still in front of that god dammed forest and I've been only getting more nervous now.) "…" "Fuck it." Phantasia walked towards the forest and before long he entered it. "…." "Huh…." (Okay? I though this place would be like some sort of jungle when I looked at it from outside.) (But now that I got inside? There is straight up a lot of space around!) (I though those trees would be extremely thick to the point they would make the space between them be small or something, but nope.) (…. Huh…. Its quiet-) Suddenly Phantasia heard something coming towards him and when he looked to his right, he saw a giant claw coming straight at him. "?!" Phantasia quickly moved back, dodging the attack. (FROM GET GO?!) Phantasia quickly backed away before noticing a small humanoid monster with orange skin, wide mouth, 1 giant eyeball as well as a weird giant 3 fingered claws arms. [Dugu – Level 79] [Dugu – Level 78] (2 from get go, huh?) (Fuck me!) (Okay. That one is kind of me.) (I was enjoying the scenery and all since it looked cool and beautiful.) (But now it's time to fight!) "[Poison Smoke]!" Phantasia fired a smoke of poison towards the monsters, hitting one of them and scarring the other. (Good, now-) Suddenly the claws came at him from the smoke. "?!" Phantasia quickly grabbed the monster arm and did over the shoulder throw. (FUCK ME!) (OKAY THAT STRAIGH UP SCARED ME!) (It fuking didn't retreated and instead rushed me?!) (Does it don't care if its poisoned or not?! Monsters usually get scared when an fuking CLOUD OF POISON FLY AT THEM!) The monster that was throwed quickly got up from the ground and set its sight again at Phantasia and the second dugu walked around the poison cloud and began running straight towards him. Phantasia quickly turned toward the monster that was running toward him and fired [Sticky Goo], hitting the running monster and slowing it down. But the other monster that the Phantasia took his eye off was now the one running and was already close to him. This time, he didn't had time to counter attack and used his arms as a shield to block the monster slash attack using its claws. Phantasia took the hit, but his heavy armored claw gauntlets took the hit, reducing the damage taken before then using his own claws to slash across the monster chest as well as using the poison that was covering the claws in order to poison the monster. After poisoning the monster again, Phantasies quickly kicked the monster in the chest, pushing it away and gaining some distance. But the other monster who was hit with the debuff attack was heading towards Phantasies. (SHIT!) "[Tame Summon]!" Phantasia summoned his rabbits and bear monsters to slow down the debuffed monster while he himself focused on the poisoned one. Phantasia began firing the [Poison Shot(s)] at the monster while it continues charging at him. However as soon as the monster got close to him, he got hit with the [Acid Blade] head on, dealing massive amount of damage to the monster and killing it. "!" Phantasia tried to calm down, but then he remember that there was the other one still alive and quickly assisted his monsters before any of them died. Before long, the second monster was killed. "…" "Holy shit…. I did it." (BUT IT WAS ANNOYING AS FUCK!) (These guys were fighting together, but weren't that smart.) (However the annoying part about them was their claw attacks that dealt lot of damage.) (If I didn't blocked that attack back then, it would straight up hurt like hell.) (Well… I confirmed I can hunt them, I even leveled up just now as well as my beasts, but it will be problematic.) (If I didn't reacted back then when those claws came out from the smoke, I would have probably died.) "…...Shit." (Okay…. Lets go over the facts.) (I CAN hunt here, but it's extremely difficulty.) (Not only that, those are the weakest monsters but they almost killed me.) (Probably the reason why I won was because I was stalling for the poison to deal enough damage so I can finish them off.) (I helped my monsters, but even so, they lost some of their HP, fuck me.) (BUT!) (I can hunt them and they gave a lot of EXP. Not only that, they dropped a lot of claws and 2 eyes, so finishing the quest wouldn't be problematic in terms of hunting for the materials.) (However…. Can I take on 3 of them? I probably can with my poison attacks, but what about 4 or 5 at the same time?) (If I play like a total coward is possible and my acid attacks can finish off the enemies, then maybe? But I'm not 100% sure it would work, considering that these guys aimed for the kill without the care about their own wellbeing, it made attacking them easier, but it also made them more dangerous and if we add the fact that they have high attack, it makes things even more annoying.) (However, there high chance that my monsters will die while fighting….) "…" "Fuck it." "Let's do it." The plan is risky right now and I saw it, but I need to do it. The monsters can die for all I care. All that is matters is that I level up again and again, making my way to these lowest level monsters' level and be able kill them more easily. I know that the hunting near the capital city would be safer with the lower risk of dying. But this time I wasn't greedy; I was trying to think and realized the risk is worth it. It will be bit annoying, but the risk is worth it, even if I end up dying in the result, it still should be worth it. However, I need to play safe and not die many times or I'm fucked. And so, I began hunting those bastards. It was hard, but I was leveling up and growing stronger. There were some problems when 5 or 6 showed up at the time, but I managed to play like a coward by running away while hitting them with the poison over time effect over and over again until they dropped dead. Well, I did needed to put some points into stamina and agility, SINCE I FUKING NEEDED TO RUN! But overall, I didn't died once. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I had to run away multiple times and be a coward or use my own monsters at meat shields, but I was winning. I was getting EXP and leveling up, over and over again. Before long, I managed to complete the quest! …. But it wasn't over. I wasn't still below their level! Not only me, but my monsters! I will fuking hunt more of these bastards until they may as well go extinct! I may have lagged a lot in terms of levels behind all others players, both the players that started with me as well as from different locations, but not anymore. Now its time for me to catch up to them…. No. Don't be greedy and cocky you bastard. Last time you let them consume you, you fucked up big time with the plague. Be greedy, but don't let it consume you. Don't focus on the leveling up alone. Your goal is to get materials and money so I can finish research and start the second time. Don't get greedy and cocky, just wait. It doesn't matter if I wait 1 or maybe 3 months or even a half of a year, it will be all worth it. But once I'm ready, I will show those motherfuckers the real chaos!
