Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 15

‘Such blessings will come to you because you have a kind heart!’

Not only are dungeons difficult to find, but the competition is also enormous. Most disputes between guilds arise over ownership of dungeons.

A golden opportunity to dominate such a dungeon!

Raan smiled bitterly at X’s powerful answer.

“you’re right. If Mr. But…”

“But?”

“Our family has also been searching the dungeon in our own way. “We also invested a huge amount of money, hired mercenaries, and wasted decades.”

Raan continued speaking with a bitter smile on his face.

To sum up what he said, it was simple.

It is said that the Thier family had a saying that had been passed down from generation to generation.

It was a simple saying, ‘There is treasure at the end of the cave,’ but

the cave here referred to a dungeon.

Raan’s father was a man fascinated by those words. It is said that they poured money into hiring mercenaries and captured monsters that existed in the dungeon.

However, the monsters did not spit out a single piece of the treasure they had hoped for.

It is said that they were strange monsters that did not even drop common items. Thanks to this, the situation inevitably declined as the days passed, and Raan’s father ended his life in shock. Even my mother became physically and mentally ill.

“The words passed down to the proud Thiyer family cannot be true… but sometimes I have doubts. “Maybe the reason I asked this of you, X, is because of my own doubts.”

Tiroling!

A notification rang.

《Legend of the Thiyer Family》

A dungeon entangled in the Thiyer Family. It is a dungeon where you can obtain tremendous treasure, but Raan, the successor, can no longer blindly believe in that. With your outstanding strength, you may be able to uncover the truth about the dungeon.

Conditions: Exploring the Thiyer family’s dungeon

Difficulty: C-

Reward: Trust relationship with the Thiyer family

X bit his chapped lip.

‘I was looking forward to this for no reason.’

A closed dungeon that is not even up to the level of a low-level dungeon!

Is it because I drank so much kimchi soup?

My appetite was bitter.

In fact, even if you think about it with common sense, it was a strange thing.

There is a dungeon inside the mansion, and the owner of the mansion is hungry.

That’s like starving even if you have a goose that lays golden eggs.

But X did not give up hope.

‘Yes, it’s a profitable business even if you only get experience points.’

Rapid level up!

The number of monsters pouring out of the dungeon is beyond imagination. It can’t even be compared to a field where you have to find monsters yourself. Therefore, it can be said that it is a business that pays for itself even if the experience level increases.

‘Furthermore, even if a noble is a fallen noble, a noble is still a noble. ‘If we build a relationship of trust, it may be helpful when moving in the northern region.’

It certainly seemed like there was more to gain than to lose.

X accepted Raan’s quest.

“great. “I will reveal the truth.”

*

‘Once you enter the dungeon, you cannot easily get out. There is a limit to just guessing how deep the dungeon is or how far we have come.’

Therefore, we had to be fully prepared.

X rescued the food that had run out.

‘More than anything, you have to support your stomach.’

puck! Burbubbuk!

I defeated the monsters wandering around the mansion and got some meat.

Since I couldn’t let Raan’s family starve, I didn’t forget to bring food for them.

The hunting speed is incredible. I was able to save an inventory full of food just by hunting for half a day. X gathered a few more firewood to use as a torch and finished preparing.

Squeak! Raan said as he opened the closed door.

“I’m just sorry that you’re going through so much trouble for no reason.”

“it’s okay. “I was also curious about dungeons.”

“Then I will pray for Mr. X’s safe return.”

Slam! Raan opened the tightly locked closet lock.

When the closet door opened, a black cave revealed the entrance.

It was the entrance to a dungeon.

X’s eyes sparkled.

‘Come, experience points.’

How far had I walked into the cave when an alarm rang?

Tiroling!

[Entering the dungeon ‘Graveyard of Bare Branches’!]

‘A graveyard of bare tree branches.’

X remembered the name and lit the torch.

Then the cave was illuminated and a strange sound was heard.

Good! It was the sound of wood creaking.

‘You have to hold the torch with one hand… then it would be right to hold a shield rather than a sword here. ‘If it’s Kalsumar’s shield technique, the attack power is also decent.’

X raised his shield and focused his attention.

At that moment, I felt a presence behind me.

Swish! X reacted quickly, turning his body and swinging his shield widely.

Ujikkeun! A welcome sound was heard along with the sound of crunching.

Tiroling!

[Your level has risen!]

X chased after the enemy to add an additional hit, but it was still just one hit.

As Raan said, with X’s skills, hunting in this dungeon seemed not difficult.

“Okay, I confirmed that experience points are given.”

X illuminated the floor of the dungeon with a torch.

On the floor was a tree that had turned gray, twisted into a bizarre shape, and was roughly the same size as a person. X recalled the name of the dungeon once again.

‘A graveyard of bare tree branches. ‘It’s a perfect name.’

A dungeon where monsters that look similar to trees appear. I don’t know exactly how much experience I had, but it seemed to be higher than the monsters I had killed in the snowy mountains.

‘Besides, if it’s a dried tree, the fire attribute is rat poison!’

These guys look like dry firewood!

This place, full of such guys, could be said to be a great hunting ground for X. In fact, they were helpless against X’s shield, which had fire properties.

[Your level has risen!]

Ujikkeun! A notification rang with a light hitting sound.

How long have you devoted yourself to hunting?

Because it was a dark dungeon, my sense of time became dull.

But X had no intention of stopping.

‘Opportunities like this are not easy to seize!’

No one can guarantee when you will hunt in a dungeon again.

And monopolizing the dungeon all by yourself? That is a luxury that only the guild leader of a large guild can enjoy.

Therefore, X tried to make the most of the opportunity he had.

That means it’s a waste of time to mutter to yourself.

‘You only open your mouth when you eat. ‘I don’t even have time to talk to myself!’

Ujikkeun! X shut up and smashed the trees that were running towards him.

A whole day passed like that.

X flopped down in his seat and stretched.

“Ouch, I’m completely full.”

X invested a lot of his bonus points into patience. Nevertheless, as I moved my body so vigorously, my satiety level was literally erased in an instant. X chewed the raw meat he brought with him.

“Tsk tsk tsk. “It tastes good, but it’s better to eat it grilled…”

My tongue was very treacherous.

Even now, it feels infinitely more delicious, and it reminds me of the grilled dish sprinkled with plenty of spices that I ate not long ago. X shook his head.

“We don’t have enough firewood to use as torches, so what good is there…”

Suddenly, X trailed off.

firewood.

I filled my inventory with food and brought only as much firewood as I really needed.

But isn’t that firewood right in front of you?

It’s dry firewood that looks like it’s burning brightly!

‘I said I couldn’t get the item…’

He said that unlike other dungeons, the trees didn’t spit out items.

But I wondered if that was true. It could have simply been that the drop rate was abysmal.

‘If it’s Heavenly Galmuri, I might be able to get the item?’

X held his breath and approached the broken tree. I learned this while hunting, and the trees here respond to sound. If you kill them, you can avoid their attacks.

X carefully placed his hand on the tree.

Then an information window appeared.

-A tree branch with a pure soul (unique)

A tree branch that can burn the soul and create flames.

The sacred flame is maintained semi-permanently.

Special Effect: Holy Flames react with dark energy.

As expected, there were items that could be obtained!

For a moment while being happy, X had doubts.

‘Holy flame? The special effects are also unclear.’

X, who was wondering what the branch should be used for, gave up his thoughts.

Even if you keep looking, you won’t find an answer.

“But there is an immediate use for it.”

A flame that burns semi-permanently!

Isn’t this something that can be completely used as a substitute for a torch? Moreover, I was able to make the grilled dish that was flashing before my eyes. X happily lit the tree branch.

“!”

Blue flames spreading softly.

Indeed, it was a perfect match for the name ‘Holy Flame’. The trees came into view at a glance thanks to the faint but bright flames lighting up the large area.

X took out a sword instead of a shield.

‘This will be much faster, right?’

My body was already itching just to accept it.

Shush! X rushed towards the stopped tree. The tree responded to the sound heard late, but X’s agility had already exceeded 200!

Ujikkeun! X let out a laugh with a cheerful sound.

“At this rate, clearing the dungeon isn’t far away!”

*

Dungeon.

Except for special dungeons, dungeons could be cleared by defeating the boss monster. When the dungeon is cleared, monsters do not appear for a certain period of time.

Therefore, the dungeons monopolized by the guild deliberately did not capture boss monsters. For them, the value of the dungeon that guild members can hunt was greater than the reward of the boss monster.

Of course, this also did not apply to X.

The third day of hunting.

X was finally able to reach the end of the dungeon.

‘Maybe it’s because it’s a boss mob, but its appearance is unusual.’

A tree so huge that the dungeon looks cramped!

Even X didn’t have the confidence to take him down in one hit.

X first placed the sacred tree branch on the floor.

I took out the fragrant grilled beef that greatly increased strength and stamina from my inventory and chewed it.

[Your heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Ilsung Cuisine Fragrant Grilled Beef’!] [

The energy of the bison spurring the earth is absorbed into your body!]

[Your stamina increases by 1000 points for 60 minutes!]

[Strength for 60 minutes ! This increases by 50 points!]

‘Do not let down your guard. I don’t know what pattern it will come out in.’

Then, I tensed my body and slowly walked towards the giant tree. C’mon! At that moment, the branches of the giant tree trembled. Shoo shoo shoo! The tree branch broke and shot towards X.

X quickly held out his shield.

‘Is this guy using magic power?’

If so, we need to see the outcome even sooner.

The defense was decent, but the magic resistance was poor. Additionally, magic with a wide attack range is much more difficult to evade than physical attacks.

‘You have to concentrate your strength.’

X gritted his teeth as he took the attack.

As soon as the sound stopped, I instantly changed my stance and ran out. Ujikkeun! With a roar, X’s sword plunged into the center of the giant tree.

At the same time, Tiroling!

A notification came to mind.

[You have cleared the dungeon ‘Graveyard of Bare Branches’!]

[You have acquired the title ‘Seeing the End of the Dungeon Alone’!]

[Your level has risen!]

[Your level has risen!]

Another shot this time!

X, who received a huge buff from food, was so strong that no one could match him at a similar level. The reward from the boss monster was considerable. Just based on pure experience, he rose two levels in an instant.

“Is this level 50?”

X, delighted, checked the information window.

See the end of the dungeon alone: When entering a dungeon alone, all stats increase by 5%. Damage received in dungeons is reduced by 10%.

“Yes, you have to have this level of ability to cook everything on your own.”

A new title perfect for solo players!

X then placed his hand on the giant tree and checked the item.

However, other than tree branches, I didn’t get any other items. X shrugged his shoulders.

‘In the end, did the legend of the Thier family turn out to be false?’

There is treasure at the end of the cave.

X repeated those words and picked up the tree branch that had fallen on the floor.

Now that you have cleared the dungeon, monsters no longer appear.

All that remains is to tell Raan the truth and complete the quest.

That was when Jerbug X took a step.

sparkle!

Light twinkled on the stone wall at the end of the dungeon. As I said, the sacred flame was semi-permanent but subtle. It was difficult to reflect light with such brightness using soft light.

So what on earth is that sparkle?

Out of curiosity, X headed towards the stone wall and stopped.

“…Holy flames react with dark energy.”

This sparkle means that something with dark energy is embedded in the stone wall. It also had a dark energy…

There was only one thing that came to mind.

A startled X stuttered.

“When you say treasure, you mean dark iron?”

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
