Chapter 77: Chapter 77Aaron finally chose the Wolf Dungeon from among the two dungeon choices he had.

    The reason behind that was simple. Both of them are loot dungeons, not experience dungeons. So, he wouldn’t get any experience here but would get loot in its place.

    When it comes to loot, wolf loot is better than goblin loot. The credits he would gain for the wolf would be higher than the goblin loot, as the demand for the goblin loot is very low.

    Though they can be used in many alchemical products, their usage is not very high in the academy. While outside, alchemical products made from goblin loot were in demand, here, the demand is not that high.

    When hunting outside, those alchemical products are used to lure and anger the monsters out there, but inside dungeons, that doesn’t work as the monsters inside are not real. They are entirely made up of mana by the dungeon core.

    Though the dungeon monsters act like monsters, they are not real monsters. So, what works out might not work inside exactly. There are some differences.

    The dungeons are like the world’s way of providing training rooms for people to improve themselves and to increase their survivability out there. The only difference was that people wouldn’t die normally in training rooms, but they would do so in dungeons if they were careless.

    Since the alchemical products made from goblin loot were not useful in dungeons, the demand for them was very low in the academy, and that meant they would yield fewer credits for Aaron.

    With his increased levels, he needs to enter higher ranking dungeons, and that means the cost of entrance into a dungeon increases. Also, with the increased level comes the increased attribute value, which increased his appetite.

    To buy more food, better quality food, he would need a lot of credits. So, he has to choose the better one out of the two.

    ---

    Once Aaron selected the dungeon, he immediately entered the dungeon without any delay. Time waits for no one. Wasting time only means delayed growth, which he can’t accept.

    He has to reach a higher rank so that he can provide a safe and secure place for his parents and also protect himself from the enemies out there.

    Once he entered the dungeon, he summoned his skeletons and ghosts, all of them, keeping none back in the undead space.

    This dungeon has three floors, with wolf monsters ranging from level 35 to 55. Yeah, though it was classified as an E-rank dungeon, the highest monster crossed level 50. So, that means he has to defeat all of them within the stipulated two hours, or else the quest is not considered to be completed.

    He had to use all his strength to do so, or he may fail and has to go at this again the next day. It would be just a waste of time.

    ---

    Within the two hours, he completed the quest and officially became Rank-2, but that didn’t stop him from celebrating.

    In a world with gods, a rank-2 awakener is nothing but a slightly bigger ant, and it was just a few moments ago that he had become that slightly bigger ant. So, there was nothing to celebrate about that. Moreover, he wanted to keep a low profile about his achievements, unless they can bring more benefits than dangers.

    So, when he completed the quest, he went to another dungeon and started to hunt monsters there. There was still time till noon, when he would return home for lunch. Until then, it’s only dungeon diving.

    After returning home, he continued to do what he did every day.

    Only after dinner did he have a good look at his new status.

    By reaching Rank 2, he was given a new skill, Death Gaze, which was very useful and so, Aaron immediately increased its rank to 3. sea??h thё n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Not only did Aaron upgarded his rank, he even reached level 51.

    For every increase in level, one would be awarded +10 FSPs and +4 SPs when they were at Rank-1.

    Now that Aaron has increased from Rank-1 to Rank-2, he gained +20 FSPs and +8 SPs for reaching level 51. As Aaron has 10x talent, those numbers changed to +200 FSPs and +80 SPs.

    The greatest thing about reaching Rank-2 was that Aaron could now add +20 to those physical attributes while +30 to the mental attributes without losing his control over the body.

    With the training in the evening, he saw that he could get an extra +15 for the mental attributes.

    He has learned Mana ball, but he couldn’t test that the previous day, as half-day training was not enough for both Physical and Mental attribute improvement. He could only choose one.

    The previous day, he had continued his physical training, but today, that changed. He concentrated on his

    He spammed Mana Ball continuously until he was out of Mana. After that, he made use of the meditation chamber, which helped him to improve his mana capacity. Also, through continuous use, he understood how to use the skills better, which helped to dump FSPs into INT and WIS, which was the only way for him to improve his mental attributes.

    ---

    While eating his dinner dinner, these were the changes that he observed when it came to level and his attributes, but there was also something else, which he didn’t see at that time.

    It was his skill, Summon Skeleton.

    When he opened his status panel, everything looked the same, but there was a small difference when it came to the Summon Skeleton skill. It was a bit glowing. He didn’t see that first as the glow was very low, and if not observed on purpose, anyone could miss that.

    When he saw the glow for the first time, he was confused. He thought that maybe he was seeing that wrong or it was a dream.

    Aaron washed up his eyes to make sure nothing was wrong with his sight. He even pinched his arm to see if he was sleeping or not.

    There was nothing wrong.

    The glow is still there.

    "Wait, maybe it is...is it?" Aaron spoke out in a surprised tone.
