?It''s not easy to walk around exploring Fier mountain. I can''t just go anywhere, but I have to be on guard against the magical beasts that live here.


    asionally I see hordes of magical beasts. When I encounter many magical beasts, I tend to walk around in circles. But if there''s only one, I''ll take them down quickly.


    Most of the magical beasts outside the fog are only level E and D. So it''s not difficult to kill them.


    Thus, from time to time, many low-level people would frequentlye here. After all, this was still at the foot of the mountain, not really in Fier mountain. itself.


    But so far I haven''t seen anyone else. It was quite strange, but I wasn''t surprised that there weren''t many benefits that could be drawn at the foot of this Fier mountain.. There are many other hunting grounds.


    What''s more, when youe to the foot of the mountain, you will be provoked to continue climbing up. At least, that''s what the rumors on the street say.


    ''Hopefully, Anas is not provoked toe to the top of this mountain.''


    As I continued to step up and kill the magical beasts, I suddenly started thinking about Anas and his true identity. It''s not about the truth that she''s only a woman, but about the truth about her background too.


    At first, I thought that Anas was an ordinary kid who had the talent to be an Assassin. But after seeing the corpses of the Wild Boars he defeated in the vige, I changed my mind.


    The corpses of the previous Wild Boars appeared to have been heavily poisoned.


    I remember that in the description of the Snake Saliva Dagger that I gave him, the poison that the Snake Saliva Dagger could emit was not that strong, to the point where it could kill a bunch of Wild Boars.


    But when I recalled Anas'' background, I became convinced about Anas'' ability to amplify poison''s effect. That ability came from his background. Or it could also be referred to as Innate Ability.


    It was because of that that I gave him a book containing cultivation techniques rted to poison. There were also several magic techniques regarding poison control, skills to increase poison efficiency, and other magic techniques rted to poison.


    I don''t need to learn all that because I already have the Poison Resistance skill. What''s more, everyone who wants to learn all those techniques must have another requirement, that is, they must have Innate Ability.


    By the way, I found all that information from my previous life.


    Those techniques were useless things as they were ineffective against demons. It was for that reason that the cultivation technique would be a trash technique in the future.


    And the people who use it. Of course, it''s extinct.


    But right now, the people who specialized in poisons were still living somewhere. And Anas likely came from there.


    When I meet Anaster, I will ask him a few questions to confirm my suspicions.


    ''If only the World System could see the status window of someone other than myself, I would know whether or not he truly possessed a poison-rted Innate Ability. Moreover, I won''t mistake Anas'' identity.''


    Yet everyone I meet is a figure of influence. Starting from Jullian, rista, Callie ws, and even Wi herself have their secret.


    It would be an advantage if I could see their status window. I will also be able to gauge the power gap between us. But it''s a pity that the World System can''t do it.


    As you know, what the World System can identify is only weapons.


    Well, it''s useless if I get my hopes up too much. Expectations that are too big will only lead to greater disappointment.


    [You got the Quest!]


    [Name: Fier mountain Investigation.


    Description: You must unravel the mystery of Fier mountain.


    Completion conditions:


    1. Find or take the Sword of Fear.


    2. (Locked)


    3. (Locked)


    4. (Locked).]


    [Other clearing conditions will be unlocked by themselves if your state meets the criteria.]


    [Main prize: Skill Appraisal.


    Additional rewards: Rewards will match your achievements.]


    [Rewards will be given after the quest ends.]


    Just when I was questioning why the World System couldn''t see someone''s status window, a quest suddenly appeared. And the reward that the World System offers is the Appraisal skill.


    Since I haven''t gotten it yet, I don''t know the skill description yet. So I''m not sure whether the effect of the skill will be the same as I imagined. ording to its name, it is what I expected, but who knows what its function will beter?


    Because the goal is well-nned. It''s time to seriously explore Fier mountain.. Slowly, the more I walked, the fog around me also became thicker.


    During the trip, I asionally opened the map I received from the previous vige chief.


    The vige chief said that he couldn''t afford much, so he could only give me this map when he found out that my goal was to go to Fier mountain..


    This map was made from a collection of the experiences of the people who went to Fier mountain. before. Before people disappear or lose their sanity, they always make maps first. And then the map was collected little by little and became the map that is in my hands now.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Of course, this map is iplete. But this has been a big help for me.


    Without hesitation, I kept walking even when the thick fog had swallowed my whole body. The sights I could see started to shrink. My eyesight began to shorten.


    And as a result, I started having trouble taking directions. I couldn''t tell which way was north, south, east, or west.


    [You entered a Dungeon.]


    [Name: Fog Dungeon


    Description: A Dungeon that can make anyone lose their way.


    Completion condition: Defeat the Boss Monster.]


    [You have been affected by the confusion effect.]


    A notification about what I suspected started to appear.


    A Dungeon is a ce where Demonic Beasts reside. They were different from the magical beasts that were outside the Dungeon. If magical beasts would still share characteristics with some of the animals on earth, Demonic Beasts werepletely different creatures.


    Demonic Beasts are more like fantasy monsters that often appear in fictional stories on earth.


    Examples like those whoe to me now.


    There are three of them. Their shape is like a child''s. Their bodies are the same color as the grass around them. With their long ears and bloodshot eyes, they came at me like a predator approaching its prey. They even drooled.


    They are Goblins,mon monsters that are always present in all kinds of dungeons.


    "Kkkiieekk!"


    "Kkreekk!"


    "Kkrekkrekk!"


    They let out sounds that I clearly couldn''t understand.


    As soon as I saw them, I immediately attacked without letting them prepare their weapons. Of course, their weapons weren''t anything extraordinary, but just amon club.


    There wasn''t much resistance when I shed their heads. They never even had time to swing the crappy club they were holding.


    [The Stigma of Darkness has sessfully absorbed Death Mana.]


    Mist-shaped ck energy flowed into the Stigma of Darkness.


    Apart from killing people, I can also get Death Mana by killing dungeon monsters, huh?


    But, why doesn''t the Stigma of Darkness absorb Death Mana when killing magical beasts?


    Regardless….


    ''I can''t believe that I used to have such a hard time fighting them.''


    In my previous life, I had nearly died fighting them in a low-level dungeon.


    Well, at that time I was really having a hard time.


    In order to survive, I was forced to enter the dungeon.


    Because the dungeon is not only a ce where adventurers die but also a ce to seek fortune.


    In contrast to other people who are looking for luck or fame so they are willing to throw away their lives. In the past, I entered dungeons just for a decent bit of food to fill my stomach and afortable bed to rest my body.


    The reason why the dungeon is a ce to try one''s fortunes lies in the palm of my hand. After slicing up the goblin''s corpse, I took out something that looked like a crystal. And those are Magic Crystals.


    Magic Crystal is a multi-functional item.


    If Ipare it with goods on earth, it will probably be the same as petroleum. As you know, petroleum has many uses in various sectors, such as fuel for vehicles or electricity generation.


    But if petroleumes from the process of depositing hydrocarbons and other organic materials, then Magic Crystales from Mana deposits in the bodies of monsters in dungeons.


    Only dungeon monsters have Magic Crystals in them.


    Thus, it was only natural that people with strength would try to go to the dungeon.


    I quickly stored the Magic Crystal in the Inventory.


    Actually, the Magic Crystals of ordinary goblins, like the ones I defeated before, are not valuable at all. But since I''m a person who''s used to living hard, I''ve never let anything go to waste. Even if it''s useless, I still keep it.


    "I think it''s already close.''
