《Money is Everything》 Money is Everything 1 Johannes is your average Joe. If there''s something about him that could describe as extraordinary, then it would be his obsession with money. From young, everything that Johannes thinking about is money. Why? Of course, because of his family circumstance, every penny is important to prolong his family''s breath, so like everyone in poverty, he had no choice but to be obsessed with it. Although it''s not to the point that he''d sell his kidney or something, but everyone who knows about his obsession would stay away from him. That''s certainly because there are many guys who got borrowed money by Johannes, and until today, they still didn''t get their money back. And every time, Johannes met with someone, the first thing that comes out of his mouth would be about money so it''s not weird for him to not have any friend. For him, everything revolves around money. Everything is about money. Money is everything. "Johannes, this is your pay for the today game," said the old aged man. "Hehe, thank you" Johannes received 10 copper coins with care, and quickly hid it in his pocket. One rabbit is worth only 10 copper coins. That''s nothing weird in this world, but for someone like Johannes who came from another world, this world is weird in some way or another. First, he was transported here from his old world without any knowledge of him dying or like there''s someone who transports him here. He was just walking like normal and, boom, he was here. Second is, he received something that he named it "Attribute Board". It''s something extraordinary like paying a certain amount of money and you can modify it to your will. Well, of course, Johannes doesn''t have enough money to use it. Third, he found that this world is not that different from his world that much. The difference is, however, was the existent of monsters, dungeons, and gods. Monsters come in all sort of shapes and forms, their power is depending on their origin and the chances of them appearing in the wild is close to none, so Johannes doesn''t worried about it that much. Dungeons. If someone who played many of RPGs, they''d know the existent of the dungeon. It''s a place that contained all kinds of monsters, and the monsters will continue to respawn until the dungeon core was destroyed.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. Gods. A real god. There are gods in this world, although it can''t be proved by ordinary means, and Johannes never met with gods before. But during his stay in this new world, he had met with something like fairies and phantoms. Fairies, in truth, are also known as a local god, their power is small and at most only appears to a few people with special aptitude or eyes. Phantoms are another form of a local god, It''s also known as a wicked god. But like fairies, their power is too small to have an effect on people. And the real gods are the gods that were worshipped by a large number of people. Goddess of Beauty, Artheope. God of War, Oriole. God of Gambling, Sath. and there is another type of gods called Evil God. These gods would wreak havoc on earth once in a while, most of the time, they would sleep in the depth of earth and sea or above the sky though. "Hehehe, and with this, I have 20 silvers," Johannes said after returning to his room. 1 silver coin equals to 10 copper coins. Living expenses in this world are 15 copper coins/day or 1 silver and 5 copper coins. His income is around 40~50+ copper coins/day. His game would pay him around 10 copper coins, according to how much complete the corpse is. Chopping firewood would pay him 2 copper coins every 3 firewoods. Gather common ingredients for medicine would pay him, 5 copper coins. Doing housework would pay him 3 copper coins/house. etc. All of these are hard work for someone who came from the modern world, however, Johannes is someone who has done all kinds of jobs for money. His stamina is above average, his skills are too proficiency that everything is done in half the normal time, with double the efficiency. Although everything seems easy now, the first time that Johannes came to this world, everything is difficult for him. He doesn''t have the money to lived in the inn, no one would let someone who doesn''t even have the background, and/are nomad to do their works. Hell, no one even welcomes him in this village. Luckily, his socializing skill is above average so he could get a job like a hunt the game. Johannes never hunts anything before, not even hurt a small animal so, of course, he can''t hunt a single thing. But by camping both days and nights, learning their behavior, set a trap, eating nothing but a scrap of bread from a kind villager, he earns his first 10 copper coins. After living in the village for another week or two. Many villagers started to open up to Johannes, and Johannes of course would start talking about jobs and money. Then the present. "Attribute Board," said Johannes [ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Sex: Male, Age: 20, Modifier: None ] This is Johannes''s cheat, Attribute Board. It''s still a clean slate because Johannes doesn''t have enough money before. Johannes tapped the ''Modifier'' part and started writing his first modifier. [ This modifier would use 20 silver coins, are you sure you want to apply this modifier? Y/N ] "Yes" Money is Everything 2 "Hi, sir. Today''s weather sure is nice right?" said Johannes while searching for something "Wow! 10 silver coins!" "..." "Hey, why are there 2 silver coins lying under your bed?" "..." "Holy sh*t! 1 gold coin!!" "..." "How the hell did you make 1 gold coin while living in this countryside?" asked Johannes while pocketing everything in his bag. But although Johannes ransacks everything in his plain of sight, he doesn''t even have any reaction or even has knowledge of Johannes being here in his house. Why? Because of the power of the Attribute Board and his new Modifier. [ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Sex: Male, Age:20, Modifier: 1. Invisible¡ªNormal creatures can''t perceive you. ] That''s right. Johannes is invisible in other person eyes, even his voice wouldn''t be heard by anyone. All of this costs him 20 silver coins. Why would Johannes want this Modifier? Of course, it''s for stealing! There''s no easier way to be rich other than stealing! In the previous world, he can''t steal because the security is too heavy, and any traces can ruin his lives. But in this world, in this village, that doesn''t even have a single soldier or guard. This is a perfect way for being rich! Why doing jobs when you could steal? Why hunting when you could steal? Why earning little money when you could steal all of their money? "Hahaha, this is so easy! Super easy!" said Johannes with laughter. After Johannes ransacks every house, he packed all his things and ready to go out of this village. He stayed in this village for 2 weeks already, and he already bored to death by how backward this village is. So now that he has all the money he could possibly get from this village, he planned to leave for the new place. His first destination would be Riverfall, the city of the dungeon. *** 2 days later. "Thanks for the free ride and money man!" said Johannes while jumping from the carriage. "..." For normal men, walking between the first village to Riverfall city would take 10 days. But luckily, while Johannes walking, he found a passing merchant carriage that going to Riverfall, so he takes a free ride, free food, and free money while taking a comfortable ride to Riverfall.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. After Johannes walk away from a crowd of people, he turned off his ''Invisible'' and heading toward Adventurer''s Guild. Adventurer''s Guild is a guild responsible for people who diving the dungeon, it''s a place for the gathering of comrades, receiving quests, giving rewards, selling products, buying goods, and monsters parts, etc. Johannes needed to sign up for Adventurer''s Guild before he could sell monsters parts. Although unneeded, it''s better to sign up for it than not. "Hmm. It should be here right?" Johannes looked up the map that he stole from the previous merchant carriage. Of course, Johannes couldn''t possibly read map of the new world, but it''s also doesn''t take a genius to figure it out where the Adventurer''s Guild is. In front of him is a pub-like building. There''s a symbol of sword crossing shield, and people who wear armor and holding weapons go in and out of this building, so he could be sure that this building is really the Adventurer''s Guild. Johannes pushed the Mediterranean half-waist door and went inside the Adventurer''s Guild. Surprisingly, although the interior isn''t built with high-quality materials, the design is really neat and comfortable. And to accommodate a lot of people, there is a lot of space and services. Most people would queue in line with the counter, where the guild''s receptionist is. Some would drink in broad daylight in the eating zone. Some would be sharpening their weapons or maintain their armor. Some would just look at the board where papers are pasted. The first thing that Johannes does is went to the board where there are papers about quests. ''As expected, I can''t read it'' When Johannes came to this world, he is blessed to understand other languages that he didn''t learn before. But is that apply to letters or characters? Of course not. So although he could communicate with others verbally, he couldn''t write any form of letters or understand how to read although this could be improved by learning. ''Well, there''s an easier way than learning the normal way'' Johannes opened Attribute Board and writing another Modifier. [ This Modifier would use 1 gold coin, are you sure you want to apply this modifier? Y/N ] ''1 gold coin? although it''s not a small amount, it''s not too much for the current me'' Johannes pressed yes and he could feel the changes. The letters that are incomprehensible at first are now readable and understandable. [ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Sex: Male, Age:20, Modifier: 1. Invisible¡ªNormal creatures can''t perceive you. 2. Translator¡ªAll languages are being translated. ] ''All languages? then this is a profit'' Johannes laughs a little and heading toward the counter that has the least people. After waiting for about 30 minutes, it''s his turn. "Are you going to report the quest or register as an adventurer?" a male receptionist asked. "The latter" "Then, please fill up this form. You can write and read right?" "Yes" Johannes receives a paper from him before writing his name, age, gender, profession before being adventurer, experience about killing or diving dungeon, etc. It''s not much, and he took a few minutes to fill up all of it before passing it to the receptionist. "I''ve received your application. Please wait for a few days before we issue your adventurer card" said the receptionist with a smile. "Then I''ll come again in a few days" After registering as the adventurer, he looking for the inn. There are many inns in this city, and the most popular would be the inn that closet to the dungeon. So because of that, the inn that is the furthest from the dungeon is inexpensive. He used 20 copper coins for a night and meals, this is the lowest price for the inn in this city, not to say that the meal and room are much better than the first village. "Hah~" Johannes lying on the bed while feeling drowsy. His eyes are half-open at this time. ''Now I have 20 gold coins, 2 silver coins, 182 copper coins with me'' ''In the morrow, I need to buy a weapon and armor, doing some quests or jobs that could secure a stable income since the weapon and armor would cost me a lot...'' ''The living expenses are 20 copper coins, if the guild card took 5 days then I needed to pay 100 copper coins before I can go into the dungeon'' ''I can stealing or dine and dash again, but I should minimize it since I don''t know if there''ll be ''extraordinary'' creatures as a adventurers'' or soldiers'''' ''After that...'' Money is Everything 3 When the sun starting to rise, Johannes woke up and cleaning himself. After that, he has breakfast. "Oh, right" Johannes realized something while eating breakfast ''Today I''m going to look for a shop selling good weapons and armor so I''ll need this Modifier'' He pays 3 gold coins for another Modifier before parting to the weapon dealer. There are dozens of weapon dealers in this city, some of them are hidden, some of them are popular and have many customers, some of them are specialized weapon dealers that will make you a strong customize weapon for a higher price. Johannes can''t afford the specialized weapon dealers, and not willing to spend more money on weapon since armor are much more important. You can survive in the dungeon if your weapon is weak, but you can''t survive in the dungeon if your defense is weak, although weird it''s common sense. First, Johannes heading toward the most popular place. Since it''d guaranteed the best quality after all. "Welcome!" said the receptionist "Is there any weapon that you''re looking especially?" "No," said Johannes "I will be looking around a bit" Johannes started to walk around while thinking what''s the weapon that''s best suited him. ''Sword would be a good choice since it wouldn''t take a genius or need to practicing too much to use it'' Since you could just swing it at the monsters, and killing it. It''s a good weapon to beginner similarly to a mace. Johannes looked at the price tags of the cheapest sword. ''10 gold coins...'' Just after looking at the price, he almost puked the blood. 10 gold coins! 100 silver coins! that''s a large amount even for Johannes. ''Well, If it''s really good then no matter the price someone would still buy it'' thought Johannes while picking the sword up. ''Appraisal'' This is the new Modifier that Johannes came up with since he doesn''t know anything about weapons and armor so he needs something to guaranteed the quality of the goods for him.Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. [ (Common) Iron Sword Quality: 1, Durability: 2, Sharpness: 1, Weight: 2 Estimated Price: 1 gold coin ] "F*ck!" Johannes swears suddenly. Of course, everyone would swear if the goods are 10 times the prices than the estimated. The receptionist looked at him weirdly but Johannes doesn''t care that much. He put the iron sword down while tried to stay calm. Normally, Johannes would bargain to lower the price of this item till it hit 1 gold coin. But looking at how this shop is the most popular and he is the nobody, the receptionist would not care about whether he would buy or not anyway. Johannes still looking around for a bit, but all of the weapons are all being overprice too much that the lowest price is twice the estimated. Just thinking about paying twice for one when you could pay the same and get two, is hurting Johannes too much that he could die in agony. ''Don''t worry, this is just the first shop. There are still dozens of it'' After that, he used all the noon and the evening to look for weapons. He could get a hand on weapons that are priced lower than the estimated, and the reserve weapon. His choice of weapon is a mace, and the secondary weapon is a dagger and the disposable daggers. These things cost him 5 gold coins and 2 silver coins. For the defensive, he bought a one-handed shield and a set of armor. It took 10 gold coins for this, left him with 2 gold coins, and 162 copper coins. Now he has a full set of gear ready to dive the dungeon. *** 5 days later. "This is your guild card. Please know that if you lost it, you have to wait a few days and pay 5 silver coins for a new one" "Thanks" Johannes came to Adventurer''s Guild every two days. So this is the 6th day that he comes after register, and this is the first day that he received his guild card. ''This world is really inefficiency'' There are no machines in this world. Everything has to wait a few days before he could get something. There is a caravan that comes to this city every 28th day of the month, although most of the civilian would come to buy or sell their wares, for the adventurer, it''s not something that important. "So with this, I can dive the labyrinth?" said Johannes. The labyrinth is the term of the dungeon this world''s people called it. Although for Johannes, he prefers dungeon more than a labyrinth. "Yes. And please note that your rank will reflect your strength and achievements. So if you want to raise it to receive more quest and reward, you have to dive the lower floor of the labyrinth" Johannes said farewell to the male receptionist and came to the quest board. ''I could receive the quest about dungeon on this'' thought Johannes and look at his guild card [ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Rank: 1, Previous Profession: Normal Civilian ] This is his guild card. Rank 1 is the lowest rank that Adventurer''s guild can issue, the more floor you dived the more rank you are and the more quest you can receive. ''This looks like games'' Although this world has no level up system like a game, Johannes can''t think of this world as anything but a game. ''Well, then why don''t I make it look like a game whatsoever?'' Money is Everything 4 "Hah!" Johannes swung his mace at the humanoid monster, and with the ''Thud'' its head caved in and died. Cling~! Suddenly, the monster''s body disappeared into the smoke and 1 copper coin appear in the place that the monster died. "This is super inefficiency..." sighed Johannes. He picked up 1 copper coin and put it in his pocket. Monster in this world dropped copper coin? No, it''s Johannes''s new Modifier. [ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Sex: Male, Age:20, Modifier: 1. Invisible¡ªNormal creatures can''t perceive you. 2. Translator¡ªAll languages are being translated. 3. Appraisal¡ªThe real values of goods will reflect in your eyes. 4. Money Hoarder¡ªMonsters that died by individual ''Johannes Vermillion'' will drop currency. ] Modifier ''Money Hoarder'' used 1 gold coins, it''s cheap but at the same time expensive. Normally, when the monster died they''ll be a cloud of smoke and disappear, in the rare cases they''ll leave behind the monster parts that called the monster drop. But when Johannes defeated them, it''ll leave behind a coin of copper. This is better than killing normally, but at the same time not. "If I know this, I''d create a Modifier about fighting..." Just after Johannes starts diving dungeon, he found the first monster of this dungeon. It''s called Arundel, a humanoid monster with small limbs and bloated belly, their head''s small with eyes nearly popped out of their socket. They used a small dagger to attack the adventurer. They''re small but not nimble, so their advantage is in their number. Usually, Johannes would found them in a group of 4 or 5. At first, Johannes used ''Invisible'' to have the element of surprise, but as expected, his ''Invisible'' is seen through by them. Well, they''re not normal creatures after all. After trying his best to kill a group of 4, they leave 4 copper coins and the injury on Johannes''s body. Johannes could kill them easily but when the number is increasing, his risk is also greater so it''s not that weird to have an injury. "Now I only have the last gold..." Johannes looks at his last gold and thinks if it''s a good choice to make the last Modifier. ''I can''t upgrade my ''Invisible'' with only 1 gold coin. combat-related Modifiers is also more than 1 gold coin.''The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. ''Wait...what if I add restriction so that the cost will be reduced?'' Johannes writes another Modifier in his Attribute Board. [ This Modifier would use 1 gold coin, are you sure you want to apply this modifier? Y/N ] ''As expected!'' Johannes pressed Yes and his new Modifier appeared. [ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Sex: Male, Age:20, Modifier: 1. Invisible¡ªNormal creatures can''t perceive you. 2. Translator¡ªAll languages are being translated. 3. Appraisal¡ªThe real values of goods will reflect in your eyes. 4. Money Hoarder¡ªMonsters that died near individual ''Johannes Vermillion'' will drop currency. 5. Wave¡ªEvery 10th attack will result in splash damage. ] Johannes swung his mace 9 times before start searching for a group of Arundel. He found a group of 5 when Johannes found them, they could see Johannes at the same time, so they are charging at him. ''Wave'' Johannes swung his mace when they''re near him. At first, it seems like Johannes swung at the air but a second later, their body started to cave in like there''re special forces damaging them. "Guhak~!" It cries in agony after having their intestines crushed. After a few seconds, they disappeared into thin air and dropped 5 copper coins. "Yes!" Johannes yelled in delight. The battle lasted only a few seconds to a minute, and his reward is 4~5 copper coins per battle. If Johannes continues hunting for an hour then his income would be 240~300 copper coins or 24~ 30 silver coins/hour. In one day or 24 hours, he could get as much as 576~720 silver coins. That''s an enormous amount of money! ''And with the increase of money, I could get a more powerful Modifier and the money that I could make will also increase!'' "Then my first goal would be 20 gold coins," said Johannes *** "Hey, have you heard about the Slayer?" asked someone in full armor. "Ah, that rookie that has monstrous strength and endurance right?" "I heard that that guy already hit the 10th floor after the second day of starting as an adventurer." "What?! I heard that he hit the 20th floor in one day before!" "That''s absurd. There''s no way someone could hit the 10th floor on the second day, and the 20th floor is literally impossible." said the bearded adventurer while gulping the beer. "You''ve never seen the Slayer before, so you could say that...I''ve seen him in the labyrinth before and...I don''t really want to remember about it." "Monsters are dying left and right when Slayer walks, Boss monsters are singlehandedly defeated by only a single person. An enormous strength equal to giant, unimaginable stamina runs through his veins like thousand of bulls, his name spread far and wide as the Slayer." sang the bard. "Who is the Slayer?" "Where is the Slayer come from?" "How could he be that strong?" Then the Mediterranean half-waist door was pushed open. Every eye is focused on the new person that came in, hoping that he is the rumor Slayer. Unfortunately, the person that came in is the young girl in her prime wearing luxurious clothes. ''Ah. Another noble girl that wants to be an adventurer.'' That''s the thought of everyone in the guild, and starting pay no heed to the newcomer. She walks toward the receptionist. "How can I help you, lady?" asked the female receptionist. "...The Slayer" "Huh?" "I want to meet the Slayer," said the noble lady. "..." Every sound in Adventurer''s guild disappeared. For fear of her words. Everyone that heard about the Slayer would talk about him in horror. Bard sang an ode about the Slayer in fear of him. The normal civilian also listen to his glory as a witness of his massacre. Fear. Everyone who has met the Slayer before would say unabashedly that they fear him. A primal, unbearable fear that consumes all of their beings. But in front of them is a young girl, too naive, too innocent, a greenhorn about the world, said that she wants to meet the Slayer. Trembled. They trembled under intense fear, but no, it''s not because of the words from the noble girl''s mouth. "I want to sell Ogre''s heart" For the Slayer has already appeared. Money is Everything 5 Several hours ago. "Why the monster always leave nothing behind?" mumbled Johannes. It has been 4 days after Johannes diving in the dungeon, and he is currently on the 20th floor, the lowest floor the dungeon in Riverfall could offer. How can Johannes dive into the 20th floor? Because the monsters are weak? No, it''s the opposite. Johannes is too strong. [ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Sex: Male, Age:20, Modifier: 1. Untraceable¡ªFew creatures can perceive you. 2. Translator¡ªAll languages are being translated. 3. All-seeing eyes¡ªThe real information of goods/creatures will reflect in your eyes. 4.

Unblockable Wave¡ªEvery attack will result in splash physical/spiritual damage. 6. Level Up¡ªKilling to increase the power level of individual ''Johannes Vermillion''. 7. Close combat talent¡ªTalent in fighting in close combat. ] He upgrades ''Invisible'' into ''Untraceable'', the price is 20 gold coins. And after Johannes learned that he killed Boss monsters but the money drop is still 1 copper coin, he upgrades ''Money Hoarder'' into ''Greed'' with 100 gold coins. He also upgrades ''Appraisal'' into ''All-seeing eyes'' and he can see the weakness of the monsters. After that, he upgrades ''Wave'' to ''Unblockable Wave'', and creates new Modifier ''Level Up'' that every time he kills a monster he can receive exp and level up, every time he levels up he grows strong both physically and mentally. The Modifier ''Level Up'' also has something like ''Level Suppression'' The more level Johannes is the more fear the nearby person and monster feel. Besides the increase of power from the ''Level Up'' Modifier. Johannes''s height grew to 1.9m with a weight of 90+ kg. His muscles are ripped, ready to crush anything, even the fats on his body are almost nonexistent. And another thing is ''Close combat talent'', although not the best Modifier, it''s still helpful. So too says, this Modifier is for Johannes to be flexible in every circumstance and adapt to every fighting pattern of the enemies, the last but not least, is to help Johannes use weapon much better than before. All of these used hundreds of gold coins, but for Johannes, it''s a profitable trade. For every hundred of gold coins that he used, he can earn the double of that with the new Modifier. And for the question of Johannes ''Why the monster always leaves nothing behind?'' although he said that but he knows that there is the system that the monsters could drop their corpse/parts. The question he wants the answer really is... "Why something that doesn''t even be the part of it also disappears?" He said that while looking at the Boss monster in front of him, the last boss of Riverfall''s labyrinth, 20th floor''s boss monster, Bloodthirsty Ogre. A humanoid monster with black skin, its height reaching almost 3m, holding bloody greatsword that tastes many of adventurer''s blood, and eyes bloodshot while looking at Johannes unafraid. Most of the monsters that met with Johannes would always cower in fear because of the distance between their level. But the Ogre in front of Johannes is always in Berserk state so it isn''t fearful to Johannes. "I really want its greatsword..." mumbled Johannes In normal person eyes, they could only see that the greatsword that Ogre holding is something ordinary, but for someone who has appraisal eyes like Johannes... [ (Rare) Vampiric Greatsword Quality: 15, Durability: 15, Sharpness: 12, Weight: 20 Special Trait: Vampiric¡ªAbsorb the target''s blood that was bled by this greatsword and improve the user''s blood vessels, blood current, blood cells.

He could restore blood loss from the enemies without the need to looking for the same blood type. Although Johannes could create a new Modifier with the same effects, that would take him dozens or hundreds of gold coins, when in front of him there''s another with the same effects and he could get it for free. "How could I get a hand on that greatsword...Increase the drop rate? It''ll increase only a little amount and if I want that 100% drop rate...even thousands of gold coins aren''t enough" "Maybe I could create a skill that can steal things from the monster?" Well, he could, but he doesn''t know that if he steals it with the Modifier, will that greatsword disappear after he kills the monster of not. "If you never try, you''ll never know" [ This Modifier would use 20 gold coins, are you sure you want to apply this modifier? Y/N ] "Yes" [ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Sex: Male, Age:20, Modifier: 1.

While asking himself, Johannes walks into the Boss room. Ogre growl at him and charging at Johannes with loud footsteps. ''Phantom''s Hand'' Swoosh! His hand flashed once, and in the brink of an eye, something appears on his hand. ''...Heart?'' It''s a throbbing heart, blood spilling from the heart but it still doesn''t stop beating. The Ogre that suddenly loses its heart suddenly stops and fell down, motionless. "Well..." [ (Uncommon) Bloodthirsty Ogre''s Heart Heart of the Bloodthirsty Ogre that still beating due to its vigorous vitality. Estimated Price: 1 silver coin ] *** "I want to sell Ogre''s heart," said Johannes while holding the throbbing heart. After a few tries, he could get a hand on Vampiric Greatsword. But there are still many unwanted things, like the heart, limbs, organs. So he decided to sell it at the Adventurer''s guild. ''What''s wrong with everyone here?'' thought Johannes He could hear someone mumbled "The Slayer is here...", "So that''s the Slayer?", "Looking at his muscles...He could crush anyone to their death..." etc. Johannes knew about the title ''The Slayer'' since everyone called him that. It''s started since he hunts in front of a group of adventurers on the 10th floor. Since Johannes has ''Unblockable Wave'' so the best style of hunting is the barbaric way. Indulge himself in the waves of enemies, massacre everything, and soaked his path with the enemies'' blood. After that everyone starts to call him ''The Slayer'' together with the fear of ''Level Suppression'', Johannes''s reputation is growing so fast that now, everyone in this city all heard about ''The Slayer''. "A-ah...sir Slayer...we''ll complete the heart''s value asap!" female receptionist falter in fear. "Then please analyze these parts too," said Johannes and bring out limbs and organs of Ogre on the counter. All colors faded away from the female receptionist but she still faithfully brought those things to behind the counter and start analyzing them. While Johannes waiting he could hear someone whispered "Wow...All of that''s 20th floor''s boss loot?" "How much did he kill to have that much of loot?" "That greatsword on his back is 20th floor''s Ogre''s greatsword right?" "Poor Ogre..." while ignoring most of it, Johannes heard someone whisper something weird. "Is she gonna stand beside the Slayer forever?" Although Johannes doesn''t know who whisper these words, his/her words make Johannes noticed someone beside him. She is a young girl with a beautiful face and figure, wearing luxurious clothes like the noble, although shaken by the figure of the Slayer, her eyes are looking at him without panic or fear. With curiosity, Johannes used ''All-seeing eyes'' on her. [ Name: Liliana Hormunda, Sex: Female, Age: 18, Modifier: 1. Blessing of Artheope¡ªInnate beauty, few of the opposite sex are not bewitching. 2. Swordsmanship Talent¡ªTalent in swordsmanship. 3. Mental Fortitude¡ªStrong mental strength. ] ''Oh, someone with 3 Modifiers'' thought Johannes. Unlike him that has several Modifiers and could create more, someone in this world that has more than 1 Modifier is too few and rare. And the girl in front of him has 3. Although surprisingly, it didn''t pique his interest that much so he ignores her. After waiting for 30 minutes, the same female receptionist appears again with huge bags full of money. "T-this is your money..." stuttered female receptionist Johannes''s eyes glowed a bit. He could feel with his innate power of poverty that inside the bags are thousands of gold coins, that''s thousand times the estimated price from the ''All-seeing eyes''. ''Well, maybe they''re interested in the vitality of the Ogre''s heart so it fetches a high price'' thought Johannes while pocketing all of it. "Um...Can I have a word with you?" When Johannes ready to leave the Adventurer''s Guild, Liliana step forward to the Slayer. Money is not Everything 1 Liliana Hormunda, she was a daughter between viscount and baroness. Born to be a beauty different from her progenitor, as if she was blessed by Goddess of Beauty, Artheope. She grew up in a warm and perfect household, and without a doubt, she grows into a beautiful, strong-minded, and talented noble lady. She received dozens of marriage offers from baron and viscount, even the marquess. But she doesn''t have any thought about marrying. She lived in an age that governed by men, with a strong-minded like her, of course, she would think that why can''t women also governing like men. Women can be equal or even superior to men! That''s her thought, that wasn''t well-received by most of the people in this world. So she has an idea to change it, or in other words, to start the revolution! But how can she do that? While pondering about it, one of the villagers suddenly reported that they''ve found a newborn labyrinth near their town. The Labyrinth! A structure from gods that holds infinite possibilities. Monsters from inside, although dangerous and brutal, is the hope for gaining resources in this rural town. Monsters when killed, they''ll disappear and sometimes will leave the part of their corpse or belonging. And no matter how much you kill them, they''ll keep respawning like no end. With this labyrinth as the beginning, she could attract Adventurer''s Guild to take root on this land, the adventurer will start to flock in this town after that. She can start investing in merchant to have them coming to this town and circulate the money. After more people are attracted to this town, she could collect more taxes than before! And from that, the town will start growing into the city. She can''t stop imagining that she could be the first female governor in the future. Well, every living thing is filled with greed, after all, even Liliana is not an exception. "But before that, I need to have a strong adventurer or a group of a famous adventurer" She could report the newly born labyrinth to any branch of Adventurer''s Guild and they''ll come here asap to build the Adventurer''s Guild. But for the adventurer to come here, she needs to have a reputation and specific how much of the profit the labyrinth could make. There''s an undead labyrinth somewhere on this continent, it''s famous for dropping only bones and rotten meat so none of the adventurers want to settle there. Well, in this period of time they don''t know what can bone and rotten meat does so it can''t be blame that they neglect the undead labyrinth. "I''ve to make some strong adventurer come to this town!"You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. But how? Money? Don''t be ridiculous, their annuity is about tens of thousands of gold coins. What Liliana could gather is about a few thousand gold coins per year at best, it can''t even be compared! Is there anything that could attract a strong adventurer...? ''Well, there''s really none...wait! I''ve my beauty, but I don''t really want to be a concubine for some smelly adventurer'' While pondering about the strategist about pulling some adventurer to her town. She heard a rumor about a super-duper strong newcomer adventurer from her villagers. "The Slayer?" The slayer of the monster! The predator, natural hunter, killing machine, born from the hatred of having his family killed by a monster, he picked up the mace and start crazily killing all the monster that he found, nothing is left in his path since all of it will go to hell with him... Well, that''s what the rumor said anyway. But after hearing about the Slayer, Liliana''s eyes starting to shine. "This is it!" She finally found him! A man who does everything without caring about money, for his passion is about to eradicate all the monsters from this very surface of the earth. A man who is not interested in money, honor, fame, or women. A man that''s worthy of ''The Slayer'' title. ''A man such as himself, without a doubt will be attracted to this labyrinth!'' *** She came to Riverfall city. A place that the Slayer could be found. She came here by traveling with a magic carriage so it took a few hours before arriving in this city. And as expected from labyrinth city, she could see how much advancement it is compared to her small town. Her first destination is, of course, the Adventurer''s Guild! Pushed open the Mediterranean half-waist door with confidence, she found it weird that they suddenly keep their voice down and focus their eye on her, after finding that she''s nothing special or not the person that they are hoping to find, they became uninterested and mind their business. But from their weird action, Liliana could confirm that the Slayer is really in this town! And even more so, for making all the adventurers focus on every person who came in the Adventurer''s Guild, is proof that the Slayer is as amazing as rumor or even more amazing than the rumor! She walks to the counter immediately. "How can I help you, lady?" asked the female receptionist. "...The Slayer" "Huh?" Is her voice too small for the female receptionist to understand? "I want to meet the Slayer," repeated Liliana. "..." Then the silence loomed over all the Adventurer''s Guild. A silence that seems to not suitable for a bunch of noisy and talkative adventurers. A silence that quiet enough to suffocate someone like Liliana. And then comes a voice. A voice that sounds like it comes from the dept of the abyss. Like a devil''s lullaby from the deepest realm of hell. "I want to sell Ogre''s heart" Fear. It''s the first emotion that Liliana felt from the man behind her. An intense, unbearable fear that she never felt before in her entire lives. It seems like the man behind her is hell itself. Just by hearing his voice make her entire body cold like it''s dipped in the north pole''s ice, No, it''s more than that, it''s more like her body becomes cold like a corpse after listen to his voice. Her body starting to shake uncontrollably, her line of sight start to move toward the person behind her. And then she saw him. A man who was born in hell, lived in hell, slay the hell, and became hell in the process. ''Ah. The rumor is really not exaggerated'' is the only thing she can think after looking at him. And when you stare into the abyss... The abyss stares back at you. Money is Everything 6 Both Johannes and Liliana came to the private that the Adventurer''s Guild already prepared. Johannes put Vampiric Greatsword that was more than 2m down and his bags of golds, then sat on the sofa. Sofa of this world can''t be compared to Johannes''s previous world but since all of these are made by high-quality materials, they''re comfortable than wooden chairs or stone chairs. "So...what is it that you want to talk about?" asked Johannes Liliana hesitated but still open her mouth "Sir Slayer. Let''s me introduce my self, my name is Liliana Hormunda, the only daughter of viscount Roken Hormunda and baroness Nevada Hormunda." ''Viscount? Then her pocket must pack with a lot of gold'' thought Johannes Although Johannes doesn''t know how much she has, at least she should have a thousand gold coins as her pocket money. Well, although Johannes could earn thousands in a day, that is something that he could not do often, after selling loot drop from the 20th floor a few times their value will drop. And if they knew that the Ogre''s Heart that Johannes sold to them is only 1 silver coin... But just as Johannes thinking he could scam her like scamming Adventurer''s Guild to buy Ogre''s Heart and other limbs and organs for a thousand golds, he felt ecstasy. ''Another money bag appears in front of me!'' "I have an offer for sir Slayer." ''Money!'' Johannes''s eyes shine at her words. For a normal person, having heard her words about an offer is certainly anything about money. Of course, Johannes thought too. ''You wanna hire me as a bodyguard? Ok! give me thousands of gold coins monthly, I can guaranteed you safety for an entire month! Or do you me to kill someone? Just a hundred thousand gold coins, and I''ll kill the king of this country for you! Safety or killing, what are you going to choose?'' Thought Johannes while smiling in his mind. There''s no way someone gonna asks him from the other two things that Johannes thought. Why? Well, because he is The Slayer and the job of the Slayer is to kill. But when Johannes still thinking about the money, the girl in front of him continues her words. "I knew that someone as sir Slayer wouldn''t care about money." ''...Huh?'' Johannes''s face stiffened "From earlier, you earn more than a thousand gold coins and you didn''t bat an eye or wasting any time to inspect the content inside already shows that you are a great man that see things more than just money and fame" ''HUH?!!'' Johannes almost swear in Maya language. ''What the f*ck do you mean I don''t care about money! The only thing I want the most is the f*cking money!! And what do you mean I don''t even care to inspect the content inside?! I just f*cking knew that it''s contained thousands of gold coins!'' Liliana closed her eyes and touch her chest without noticing Johannes''s behavior. "Just as told by the rumor. Sir Slayer, your one and only goal is to slay monsters, you''re a man who would pursue neither money, honor nor fame. A great man who thinks of money as the fuel for his goal. A great man who could succeed in his goal, a great man who could leave traces and legend in history. For someone like you, I''ve got a great offer that you may not be able to refuse"This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Johannes''s face distorted in a weird angle ''Who the f*ck would want to slay sh*t! I just want some f*cking load of money!!'' "My town, Asgard, was infested by the newborn labyrinth. The information about this labyrinth is unknown, but several villagers that went inside never come out." Liliana said and continue "I know that sir Slayer wouldn''t interested in money so I''ll not offer you any money or a single copper coin, but I have this offer for you instead. An offer of being able to kill anything inside the labyrinth with being exempt from tax and kill restriction limit." For the normal adventurer, they have the limit of how much they could kill in the labyrinth, although the labyrinth could respawn monsters infinitely, it still needs time. So for Rank 1 Adventurer, they''ll be limit to a thousand kill limit per day, and the limit will increase ten-fold every rank. So rank 2 will have ten thousand kill limit, rank 3 is a hundred thousand. But for someone normal, they couldn''t even kill thousand of monsters in a day so this limit is almost nonexistent. But sometimes, there''s someone special, someone, who could and can break this limit. They''re called in many names, Hero, Sage, Demon King, Slaughterer, Prodigy, Son of Heaven, etc. And in those many names is The Slayer. The Slayer who could slay all monsters. Another is tax, all adventurer that diving the labyrinth will be tax depending on their income. Adventurer''s Guild could calculate their income from how much loot drop they sell to the guild, so sometimes they''re some who would sell their loot drop in the black market. Well, Adventurer''s Guild has a way to find the adventurer who sells their loot drop in the black market, of course. As for someone like blacksmith or alchemist who wants to buy the labyrinth''s loot, they need to go through Adventurer''s Guild. The adventurer could give his loot drop to someone for free but they need to make the document that that loot drop is for donation. Anyway, all of that is a pain for most adventurers. But Johannes is special, except the income he earned from the loot drop, he could earn more by the Modifier ''Greed'' so this tax thing is not something serious. Well, It''s nothing serious if Johannes is having the habit of paying tax yearly. ''F*ck! You want to hire me as your exclusive town''s adventurer and you aren''t going to pay me any copper coin?!'' Johannes almost burst out in angry but calming down quickly. ''Well, I don''t really care about her money anyway since she looks like having no more than a few thousands gold coins'' Damn right. ''The things that I''m having an interest is kill limit since that''s a pain in the arse'' The Adventurer card has something like a magical rune that could detect how much a person kills, even if Johannes makes a Modifier that makes the Adventurer card undetected about his kill but other adventurers can still suspect him. And the Modifier ''Level Up'' of his needs an enormous amount of monsters to level up each time since he''s having high-level from all the kill these past days. If he wants to grow even stronger then he needs to dive even deeper to kill a stronger monster but this labyrinth''s 20th floor is the end. So he needs to go to a new dungeon''s town/city sooner or later. ''Also I need the money for upgrading Modifier ''Level Up'' and not having to pay tax is a good way but not so much'' He could earn more even with paying tax so it doesn''t matter. ''What I''m more interested in is the newborn dungeon, this Riverfall''s dungeon could only offer an experience for beginner or mid-level adventurer, the loot drop has no value that much compared to other dungeons'' But what if the newborn labyrinth is a jackpot? ''Few villagers went in and never came back, normally, even if the entire party is wiped out there should be someone alive but if none of the villagers could come out, that means the monsters inside should be strong, stronger than this labyrinth''s 1st floor'' His Modifier ''Greed'' give more money the stronger the monster he defeated, and Riverfall''s labyrinth''s 1st floor can be defeated even with a group of normal villagers with no armor and weapons since Arundel is weak, but Asgard''s labyrinth is the opposite. From the looks of Liliana, she''s not someone stupid enough to sent unarmed villagers inside the newborn labyrinth. ''I should take a look at this dungeon if it''s worth my time and money'' thought Johannes. "I can''t say that I''ll take your offer, but I can take a look at your labyrinth before deciding," said Johannes "Thank you!!" smile blossom from Liliana''s face "We can go to your town right aw-, no, you must be tired from traveling. You should take a rest today" Although Liliana said that she and Johannes could go to her town right away but Johannes still has her take a rest today. ''Sir Slayer is really kind...'' thought Liliana with a smile thinking that Johannes cares about her. ''Well, I could finally steal a f*cking load of money from this place'' thought Johannes with a grin. Money is Everything 7 "Rawr!" Bloodthirsty Ogre roar Its normal day is really simple, respawn, waiting for some strong or a group of adventurers to come here, get defeated, respawn, repeat. Its floor is 20th floor so it''s not easy for a new adventurer to come here, and a stronger adventurer would not come here since the profit is not that much compared to others. And just like that...waiting like a normal da- Swoosh! The air was cut in a clean swipe. Bloodthirsty Ogre''s eyes open wide in surprise but before it could react, its body was cut into two. Johannes appears beside the corpse of Bloodthirsty Ogre that starts to disintegrate. His Vampiric Greatsword absorbing the blood from the Bloodthirsty Ogre, a black-red veins-like pattern appears on it before spreading into Johannes''s right arm. He used ''Untraceable'' to come here without anyone or any monster seeing him. Why? Because if someone saw him going into the dungeon then that would spell doom on him. ''All-seeing eyes'' After checking that the Bloodthirsty Ogre will not respawn again before Johannes get out of the Boss room, Johannes used his ''All-seeing eyes''. ''All-seeing eyes'' that were upgraded from ''Appraisal'' could see things that normally could not. Just after Johannes using ''All-seeing eyes'', particle-like colors appearing in his field of sight, it''s floating around everywhere in this room before getting sucked into the corner of this room. "So this is where it is..." said Johannes He came to where the particle was sucked. The information about the labyrinth is public, everyone knows that the labyrinth has different floors and monsters. But there''s also something that everyone already knows but never saw it for real. Johannes pushes that corner, but his hand passed through it like there was nothing but air. Johannes went inside without any hesitation. "Huh, so this is dungeon core?" Dungeon core. The heart of the labyrinth. In front of Johannes was a blue ocean ball with a dancing azure flames in it. Its height is 6m, with a wide of 5.5 m floating in the air, with his ''All-seeing eyes'' he could see the ''roots'' from every corner of the room connecting with the blue ball in front of him. [ (Legendary) God''s Essence The essence of the dead God, In this, is the power of Creation(Defect) and Destruction(Defect). Being nurtured by miasma mana, it''s grown into the structure called The Labyrinth. And by the connecting of the original maker, monsters and demons from the Hungry ghost Realm will be manifested in this labyrinth. Maximum Floor: 20th floor. Miasma Mana: 2,034,874.1454458876541 Data: (Common) Homo sapiens of the Mortal Realm (Human), (Uncommon) The lowest being of the Hungry ghost Realm (Arundel), ... , (Rare) The bloodthirsty giant demon of the Hungry ghost Realm (Bloodthirsty Ogre). ] ''God''s Essence...'' Johannes''s eyes opened wide, shocked, he clenched his fists. The ''All-seeing eyes'' gave Johannes more information that the above, he knew that ''this'' lying here for hundreds of thousands of years, before the beginning of all humanity, before any sentient being born on this Earth. How could a god die in this place? What''s the name of this god? Which god killed him? Such information is not something of the mortal realm that could possibly know. ''I need something more powerful than ''All-seeing eyes'' to see it'' Something much more than ''All-seeing''. He needs something like ''All-knowing'' to uncover the secret and the true essence of gods.The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. "Since there''s no owner, then I''m going to take this" Johannes said while taking a step toward the dungeon core. He put his hand on the dungeon core before a vortex appears on his hand and absorbing the whole dungeon core completely, even the roots are not spared. This is his new Modifier that Johannes created. [ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Sex: Male, Age:20, Modifier: 1. Untraceable¡ªFew creatures can perceive individual ''Johannes Vermillion''. 2. Translator¡ªAll languages are being translated. 3. All-seeing eyes¡ªThe real information of goods/creatures will reflect in your eyes. 4.

Unblockable Wave¡ªEvery attack will result in splash physical/spiritual damage. 6. Level Up¡ªKilling to increase the power level of the individual ''Johannes Vermillion''. 7.

Greedy Realm¡ªAnything valuable to the individual ''Johannes Vermillion'' can be absorbed by the individual ''Johannes Vermillion'' to the realm between dreams and realities. ] ''Greedy Realm'' is the Modifier that Johannes created. A realm between dreams and realities, where time and space do not exist. He used all his savings for this Modifier alone, but no matter how expensive it is, it''s all worth it. ''Because with this Modifier, I can earn more'' grinned Johannes After the dungeon core was absorbed into the Greedy Realm. Everything was still the same, the dungeon is still dark and gloomy like before, and there''s no commotion that Johannes expected to hear on the 20th floor like an earthquake or the dungeon fall. Of course, there are some changes. Although the labyrinth will stand strong, it''ll stand for a short while like a hundred or thousand years since the energy supply was stolen by Johannes. Monsters will not respawn anymore, this dungeon is already dead. The dungeon is dead when it can''t respawn monster anymore. There are many reasons like the dungeon core was destroyed or the miasma mana run out, albeit not common. ''I have the dungeon core now. Then the next is...'' *** The next day. Johannes woke up when the sunrise, he cleaned himself before having the last meal in this city. The inn owner almost cries when he heard that Johannes gonna leave this city since because of his fame, many adventurers and villagers who wonder about the Slayer would come here, have a meal or take a rest, so his inn is in the booming state but if the Slayer is gone then anything will go back to normal. Johannes gritted his teeth a little when he knows that the inn owner used his fame for money. When Johannes''s stomach is full, he stands up and goes out of the inn. "Sir Slayer!" Liliana that already wait for an hour outside the inn walk toward Johannes with a smile. Having a rest and stroll around the city for ideas about her town''s development has brightened Liliana''s mood greatly. "So where''s your town? Are we taking a merchant carriage or traveling carriage?" asked Johannes "Oh no, sir Slayer. Although I''m only a viscount, I have the magical carriage for traveling of course!" ''Magical carriage?'' thought Johannes He really can''t imagine what the magical carriage gonna look like. Liliana guide Johannes to the place where she parks her magical carriage at. ''So this is the magical carriage?'' doubted Johannes In front of him is a silver carriage with a streamlined body, a pair of wings like an eagle. It''s the plane. The magical carriage is the plane. "This is the magical carriage granted by His Majesty to my grandfather, this is the older version so its speed and space may not be as satisfied as to the latest model," said Liliana "Ah, please store your greatsword here before riding the magical carriage" Johannes takes his greatsword and stored it in the empty space inside the magical carriage. After that, they both jump on the magical carriage. "Ah, please fasten seat belt because it''s maybe dangerous," said Leliana before skillfully start the magical carriage like the modern pilot. But before Liliana could take the plane off, someone knocking on the glass outside. "Yes?" "Madam, are you gonna leave this city?" asked the guard "Yes, I''m going back to my town with sir Slayer" When Liliana said that, the guards'' eyes went to Johannes who sat there innocently because he never takes a flight before. The guards'' mouth open wide, for they''ve long heard the rumor about the Slayer, but when they see the real Slayer in front of them, their legs wobbled preparing to fall in the butt at any moment. "A-ah, then may I take your time for a little...bit?" asked the guard while looking at Johannes "Yes, you can ask anything," said Liliana The guard asks some questions like where did she went yesterday, what''s she doing, which inn did she stayed, etc. After asking all those questions, the guard asked Liliana to open the inside of the magical carriage, and saw the bloody greatsword lying inside, all the colors faded away from their faces. "Um. May I ask why would you ask all those questions?" asked Liliana All the guards that ready to leave the scene immediately, stuck in their place, sighed but still answering her question. "Yesterday, someone broke into the mayor''s mansion and the Adventurer''s Guild. All the valuable things are stolen and the criminal is still on the run. This criminal is really skillful, he didn''t leave any traces in the scene behind like he has done it thousands of times. And if we couldn''t catch the criminal before the sunset then our salary will be deducted" sighed the guard "Oh...sorry for hearing that..." Liliana apologizes while Johannes whistle in the back. Money is Everything 8 ''Grassland, mountains, rivers, another grassland'' Johannes looking at the view outside the magical carriage with a bored expression. Although this is his first flight, it didn''t have anything to surprise him that much. Well, if the gear of this magical carriage has problems and the magical carriage fall from this height, may surprise Johannes a little. ''Looks like the dungeon''s incident is yet to be found, it''ll take at least a few days for someone to notice that the monster will never respawn again. Well, it''s not my problem anyway'' Johannes looks behind his back at the Riverfall city that getting smaller and smaller before turning back thinking. ''If the information from Riverfall''s dungeon core is correct, then every dungeon core is the heart or essence of the dead god. The Asgard town that Liliana governing is where the newborn dungeon, the recently dead god is'' ''There should be a trace about the dead god, or maybe I can harvest something useful'' *** 6 hours later The magical carriage landing safely, different from what Johannes expected, the magical carriage is really efficient and safe. Although the speed is slower than he thought, it''s still better than the merchant or traveling carriage. As expected from the magical carriage. ''The machine from magic world huh?'' Johannes rubbed the magical carriage while thinking "Welcome to my town, Asgard, sir Slayer," Liliana said with a smile "Do you want to tour the town or have a meal first?" "Don''t talk nonsense. now lead me to the labyrinth" said Johannes while retrieving his Greatsword Liliana smiled wryly at the Slayer words ''As expected of sir Slayer, not caring to take a rest and heading to the labyrinth immediately'' In truth, Johannes doesn''t care about her town or whatsoever. Even if he knew that this town worth enough to invest in it, but for him, brought hundreds of thousands of gold coins to invest in this small town would be questionable by most people, even if he is the Slayer. And yes, the money that Johannes has stolen from the Adventurer''s Guild and Mayor''s mansion is exceeded hundreds of thousands of gold coins, 10 times the original amount of money that Johannes used to create the Modifier ''Greedy Realm''. And except the money that Johannes could use at any moment, he still has some valuable items that he needs to exchange for the gold before he could use.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. Although those items could be used by ''Attribute Board'' immediately but their values will be calculated by estimated prices. But in reality, Johannes could sell them to the merchant or collector with 10 times or 100 times the estimated price, so he needs some time to smuggle those in the black market. "Then please come here," Liliana told her servants to maintain the magical carriage and guiding Johannes All the eyes from villagers are focused on both Johannes and Liliana. Liliana''s figure is not uncommon since she would stroll around the town every weekend so every villager always knows her, but the figure of 1.9m of Johannes and intimidating aura from ''Level Suppression'' made every villager uneasy. They thought that the Liliana brought the criminal back to her town. Well, although she didn''t bring criminal back but bringing Johannes here is worse than the worst criminal. After walking for 30 minutes, 2km from the town. Johannes could see the structures of the dungeon. The dungeon''s structures are really unique that you couldn''t miss it no matter what ways. With the majestic entrances sculpturing from the unknown master artisans, the myriad being came to life by the master artisan''s skills on the entrances'' walls. In fact, there''s no one who carves this except the dungeon itself. There''s already enough records from the wizard professor that the dungeon itself is sentient, they prove it by comparing all the structures, sculptor, monuments inside the dungeon to the existed and extinct civilization. 98.99% is similar to the extinct and ancient civilization with 1.01% from the still existing civilization. But how? How could the dungeon know about their civilization? At first, they thought that it''s from the ancient people who build it with unknown magical technology. But somehow, from the record of history, there''re many who sight the birth of the new labyrinth in many places on the earth. So all of them came to one answer, gods made it. "This is the new labyrinth that I told. We''ve found this about 2 weeks ago, from our team observation, this is yet to be corrupted labyrinth. No one but us knew about it being here" The corrupted labyrinth, from the wizard professors, is the dungeon that was corrupted by the dark energy from the devil. The common characteristic of the dungeon is that the monsters inside will not come out from the dungeon. But the corrupted dungeon is the opposite, monsters will break out, if there''s no one controlling it, the number will increase until the continent is flooded by monsters. Normal precaution is destroying the corrupted dungeon, or seal it. In this world, even if we brought all the people in the world, it still has no enough manpower to control the corrupted dungeon. Sure, this world has heroes, sages, demon kings, but can they fight 24 hours for their entire lives? "Is there the sight of bandits living inside the dungeon?" asked Johannes "No, the nearest bandits group is just a normal weak bandits group, they don''t even have the bounty on their heads, even if they are armed I don''t think they''ll survive inside this labyrinth either" "Hmm...good," said Johannes while thinking of something Johannes checked his equipment before deciding to go inside the labyrinth "Then I''ll look inside for 2 hours if at that time I don''t come out then report to the Adventurer''s Guild that I''m dead" "Eh?! Sir Slayer!" gasp Liliana doesn''t understand why would he told her that he may die Johannes doesn''t care about Liliana and went inside the dungeon. Money is Everything 9 Dying? Someone like Johannes is dying? That''s the funniest joke ever. Well, though Johannes saying that he could die, he has no reason to die now. But he has other reasons for saying that he could die inside this dungeon. ''If I can''t go back in 2 hours, I could use this reason to sell the stolen items in the black market. The Adventurer''s Guild wouldn''t want to send the adventurer in the dungeon that even the Slayer won''t survive, at most, they would send someone strong to supervise the dungeon. And even if I came out alive and sound then I can just say that I''m lucky'' thought Johannes With ''Untraceable'' no one can find Johannes if he is cautious enough. But all of that is not all of his objectives. ''While no one enters the dungeon, I could use this time to study the dungeon core'' Why study it you say? Of course, it''s to be the god. ''I could be a new god in this world'' Johannes clenches his fist ''Well, that''s a too distant goal'' Although he could become god by paying billion or trillion of gold coins, if he could be one without the needing of spending a single copper coin is better than spending billion right? And finding that amount of gold coins is unrealistic in this kind of world. Johannes walking ahead dozens of meters and saw the corpse of villagers. Their corpse was only mincemeat that was infested by the larva of a strange insect. From the looks of it, they should be dead more than 3-4 days. Most of the equipment was broken in bits and pieces. ''This looks like they were smashed by heavy object...'' Johannes using ''All-seeing eyes'' and saw a group of armed villagers, walking in this path before something huge smashing on them. ''Golem?'' The things that most likely to describe it are the golem. An animated object from clay or dirt, but in his eyes is the golem made from iron with flexible joints enough to perform human action without its speed lowered. This is another ability of All-seeing eyes, it could look into the short past that happened before. ''How could a newborn dungeon create golem?'' Johannes thinking From his little knowledge, the dungeon is something that will create monsters inside it depending on the connection of the dead god. The Riverfall''s dungeon has a connection with Hungry ghost Realm so they can create a monster from it.The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. ''Does this mean that this dead god is some alchemist god or something?'' In this world age, creating golem and the magical carriage aren''t hard. Using magic, everything is possible. But because everything''s possible, it makes Johannes uneasy. ''If it''s really is alchemist god then what about 10th floor? Is it gonna make cannon golem?'' Well, there''s a reason for Johannes being afraid. His ''Untraceable'' is an ability that makes him unnoticed, his figure and traces can''t be noticed by creatures'' eyes, his voice can''t be noticed by sensory organs, his smell also can''t be noticed. To be correct, It''s more like the instant that they notice Johannes, they have forgotten about him immediately. All of them will go unnoticed, all the senses, even the sixth sense is not an exception. The real invisible can''t be seen, but it can be smelled, some creatures with heat perceive organs still notice them, the sound doesn''t disappear, when someone touches them, they''ll notice immediately that there''s someone invisible. And if the someone in invisible write something or leave something as evident, other people can notice it unlike ''Untraceable''. Since Johannes still can be seen but was forgot by that creature, but what if there is something that can''t forget about Johannes? Golem is one of them. Johannes can''t delete data from inside their hardware, although he can if he upgrades ''Untraceable'' again. ''Should I upgrade it now? ...No, it seems too wasteful for now. My fighting power is enough to overwhelm them without ''Untraceable'' and if I want to upgrade it, then I''ll upgrade it to the level that even gods can''t notice'' Johannes has met the local god or fairy before and has god''s essence in his Greedy Realm but even he hasn''t met the real god before. He has a reason why he has to upgrade it to have the power to went unnoticed under the gods'' nose. ''What I''m going to do from now on may be an eyesore to them'' Johannes ignored the rest of mincemeat and heading deeper into the labyrinth, and as expected, few dozens of meters later he found the silhouette of the iron giant. It stood 2m, with an ironclad body, its body is shaped to be a humanoid. It has no weapon since every part of it is a weapon, sound of unknown origin came from the engines inside of its body. It has no eyes since it used a sensor instead of an eye. "Unbelievable..." said Johannes ''I could sell this guy for tens of thousands of gold coins'' BOOM! The instant that iron golem found Johannes, it charges at him with speed faster than the horse. With its body and weight, its right hand swung at Johannes at full-power and produce "Boom" sound. The floor under Johannes cracked with a cobweb-like pattern. And with another burst of sound produced from the engines, the right hand that still crushing Johannes emit the brilliant white light. Flames of bright orange color lick Johannes''s entire body. The air distorted and twisted by the sheer heat alone. The floor is melting into liquid and starts to emit the same light. Everything 10m around golem radius turned into the world of flames. 10 seconds later, the golem stops the fire and look at the place that Johannes once stood. There is nothing. Everything was vaporized by that intense flames alone. Simple, fast, and efficient. Turning back, the golem going to do the task, given by its master, guarding this place. "Oi.

The burning hot air was cut in a clean hit before the greatsword connects to its head. Announment I''m going to be busy because of college, so I''ll hiatus this novel.
