I Reincarnated as the Mob Flame User Destined to Die in the Early Stages of the Game, but When I Cleared the Event Before the Protagonist, the Heroines Followed Me

Chapter 9 – Dungeon Boss

Before going to the middle layer of the dungeon, let’s calculate the gold we have.

Roughly, by hunting monsters at the entrance of the dungeon for a day, you can earn over 100,000 gold.

100,000 gold is enough to live for a month here.

What I earned yesterday was

15,000 gold for 15 slimes.

69,000 gold for 23 goblins.

56,000 gold for 8 orcs.

A total of 140,000 gold. I got 140,000 in one day.

Even though I’m risking my life, it’s nice to be able to earn more than a month’s living expenses in one day.

I guess it’s thanks to Old Man Zes and everyone else supporting me.

Furthermore, there is a 1% chance that items will drop, so if I’m lucky I could receive an additional bonus.

I could earn more in the middle layer, but I prioritized leveling up.

Now, I’m heading towards the middle layer of the dungeon.

I immediately encountered Poison Spider and Poison Snake!

If you receive a poisonous attack, your HP will decrease overtime.

I quickly closed the distance, shield tackled the poison spider, and hit it repeatedly with my mace, defeating it.

The poison snake launched a poison fog attack, and I received a poison debuff.

I attacked and defeated the poison snake in an instant.

I ran and hurried to my destination. Pressing a switch on the dungeon wall revealed a hidden door, which I entered and quickly closed behind me.

“Recovery!”

I removed the poison debuff and continued forward.

I found four treasure chests on my way.

[150,000 gold]

[Iron armor]

[Magic wand]

[Magic mace]

I can’t use anything other than the magic mace, but I can sell it for money, so it’s not that bad.

And that’s not all.

Further inside, I reached a high platform in the dungeon. From here, I can look down on the middle layer of the dungeon.

I threw a summoning potion. With this, monsters would gather.

Then, I threw 10 explosive potions at the monsters that had gathered.

Boom, boom, boom!

[Level increased from 20 to 21]

[Level increased from 21 to 22.]

I wiped out the monsters gathered by the summoning potion with the explosive potions.

It’s like power-leveling with potions in the game, a neat trick to safely level up early on.

Each potion costs 10,000 gold, so it depletes my funds quite fast.

Even though the gold dropped by the monsters can cover it to some extent, it’s still a loss.

Think of it like buying EXP with money.

I jumped down and picked up the dropped gold, before running back to the dungeon entrance.

I ran further and returned to my house in the village.

It’s a successful potion leveling!

Let’s farm EXP some more~

“Father! I want 5 summoning potions and 50 explosive potions.”

Father looked surprised.

“It’ll cost 550,000 gold. Is that okay?”

“No problem!”

I put down a bag containing 550,000 gold.

I received the potions from my father and returned to the middle layer of the dungeon.

Boom, boom, boom!

[Level increased from 22 to 23]

Boom, boom, boom!

[Level increased from 23 to 24]

Boom, boom, boom!

[Level increased from 24 to 25]

Boom, boom, boom!

I leveled up with potions in the dungeon until I ran out of money.

“I’m level 27 now.”

Unlike the game, the monsters in the middle layer of the dungeon are decreasing.

It’s not as if an endless supply of monsters will appear.

The monsters in the middle layer of the dungeon where I started have almost disappeared, and occasionally monsters appear solo. The number of monsters near the entrance has also decreased.

Next will be the deep layer of the dungeon.

I dived deep into the dungeon.

Only Ace Goblins appear in the deep layer.

Ace Goblins are inferior, and honestly, they’re less worrisome than the middle layer monsters with their poison attacks.

All Ace Goblins have daggers, but you can defeat them normally by stopping their momentum with a shield and hitting them with a mace.

My HP and physical defense stats are SS.

Even if I receive damage, if it’s from someone lower ranked than me, I won’t receive that much damage.

I steadily defeat the Ace Goblins.

It’s an easy job.

After a few days of going to the starting dungeon, there are fewer monsters.

I search for items by focusing on spots with treasure.

That’s what the Treasure Sense skill is for.

Without this skill, I wouldn’t know the exact location of the treasure. The treasures in dungeons aren’t just the things that are easily found in treasure chests.

I collected all the treasures in the dungeon and converted them all to gold.

Then, I ignored the boss in this dungeon and headed for the city on the horse-drawn carriage that only comes out once a month.

In the game, you can increase your stats ranking by offering 1 million gold to God at a church in a large town.

I went into the large church, offered 1 million gold and prayed to God.

[All stats ranking have been increased by 1 rank. Please allocate surplus stats rankings that have reached the upper limit of SS rank to other stats]

“Allocate everything to Speed.”

[Understood. Stats rankings allocation has been completed]

I finished my prayer and immediately left the big city, heading back to the village.

I looked at my stats and thought about it.

This method can’t be used over and over again.

Next time, it’ll cost 100 million gold. The second time’s cost increases dramatically, and you can’t set all stats values to the upper limit like a Hero.

There’s a limit to the number of times this method can be used.

The ability to boost stats with 1 million gold is like a bonus for first-timers only.

Besides, there’s something I learned from actually fighting.

“Fire magic alone will lead me to a dead end.”

Fire alone is not enough, I also need to raise my mace’s level.

While the attack power of Fire is high, relying on continuously casting Fire by raising MP to SS rank is fragile.

Since monsters don’t always appear as calculated, if you fail at MP management, you might end up being overwhelmed and killed.

Besides, once the hero Dust gathers fire-resistant equipment, or if fire-resistant monsters appear, it’s all over for me.

Things don’t always go as calculated, just like in a game.

If I don’t use mace, shield, and fire magic, the efficiency of leveling up will decrease.

Using only fire magic means if my MP runs out, leveling up for the day is over.

I want to crush the hero Dust and get back at him.

That’s right, I need to level up. I started walking.

I move efficiently, just like in a game, and return to the starting dungeon.

Then, I entered the boss room deep in the dungeon.

The Goblin King was there.

It has a large two-handed sword instead of daggers, and its body is large at 2 meters tall.

“Kukukuku, you fool. I’ll put you in your place.”

“We’ll see.”

“You’re an unusual one. It’s rare for someone to enter a dungeon alone, and it’s even more rare that they don’t look afraid.”

“Shall we start already?”

“Kuku, you’re eager to die. Fine, I’ll kill you as you wish.”

The Goblin King swung his two-handed sword sideways.

I blocked it with my shield and swung my mace at its bosom, causing the Goblin King to stagger.

I repeated this action several times until I defeated the Goblin King.

The level difference is so significant that the Goblin King staggered heavily with each of my attacks, almost resembling a pinned-down situation.

It’s almost like a one-sided beatdown.

The Goblin King disappeared, spitting out a large amount of gold, and a two-handed sword remained as a drop item.

Indeed, it’s necessary to use physical attacks as well.

It’s not as flashy as fire magic, but it’s tenacious and reliable.

[Level increased from 29 to 30]

“Huh… I remember the recommended level here is 10.”

But in the game, Dust and Alicia would usually tackle this dungeon together, so it’s better for a mob like me to be a bit higher leveled. After all, everything’s over if I die.

When I passed the boss room, there was a Karma Ticket.

Can a mon like me obtain it?

I put the Karma Ticket in “Storage”.

Now, I compared my current stats with before I entered the middle layer of the dungeon.
