INFINITE LEVELING: GOD-KIND SYSTEM

Death penalty

[Penalty for failure - Death]

“Clear the dungeon? Sounds dangerous”

Dexter then entered the portal as he appeared in a large tunnel like cave.

[Player arrived at the ‘Hellhound Dungeon’]

[Dungeon type - grade D+]

[Tasks- Clear the dungeon, kill all hellhounds]

[Time left - 1 day]

“What!!”

Hellhounds are like a senior version of Kobolds. They are supernatural monsters connected to hell, and mostly considered an omen of death. Their attributes include black or gray fur, glowing flamy-red eyes, they have supernatural strength and speed twice that of the Kobold, their bite force is strong enough to crush a diamond.

Dexter stared at the tunnel waiting for him to walk through it, he could smell the foul odor, the more he walked inside the almost completely dark tunnel he saw blood splashed at all corners and he almost threw up from the strong odor.

Just then he saw glowing flamy-red eyes staring at him, and the growling sound of the monster.

“A hellhound!” His legs trembled as though he had come face to face with death itself.

The hellhound without wasting a second dashed towards Dexter. Dexter quickly pulled out the Demon's dagger from the inventory and evaded the attack as his dagger clashed with the fang of the hellhound.

‘That thing is incredibly fast, I managed to dodge it due to the amped speed from the dagger’

Dexter stretched forth his dagger and gave a stance, even though he was a weak mage, he still went through years of training in combat skill.

The hellhound growled, Dexter managed to leave a slight cut in its face.

‘This dagger is pretty sharp and helpful, I might stand a chance’

“Let's get started, monster!”

The hellhound was already at his fours, bolting towards Dexter.

[Lightening Step activated]

Dexter moved away with lightning fast reflexes, then turned around at the back of the monster.

“Ahh!” He plunged the dagger into the spine of the hellhound then dragged it down brutally, ripping it apart.

The hellhound howled in agony as it fell down dead.

[Level up]

Dexter smiled, seeing his stats just increased at a very small level, he was excited he would be able to increase his stats even more if he successfully cleared this dungeon.

Dexter didn't have time to celebrate his victory over one hellhound as he saw the entire pack coming at him.

“Damn it!” He cursed.

The hellhounds descended on him, their growls reverberated throughout the dank dungeon.

[Lightening Step activated]

Dexter was like a blur in their midst, but still he wasn't able to fully dodge all their attacks, there were at least 20 hellhounds attacking him at once.

“There's too many of them,” he complained. Then he activated his second skill.

[Raging Thunder Skill activated]

Like a massive explosion ‘Kaboom’ the surge of lightning energies mixed with a sound explosion, it spread omnidirectionally, destroying all the hellhounds in the area.

[Level up]

[Level up]

…. Up

….up

The surrounding was filled with dust for a moment before it settled. Dexter stood amidst the dead monsters.

“Whoa, it feels like the Raging thunder Skill just upgraded. No wonder they consider Lightening as one of the most dangerous talent”

[Congratulations, player had killed more than 20 hellhounds]

[Player acquired the title ‘Merciless Hunter’

[New skill unlocked: ‘Voidstrike’]

Skill name ‘Voidstrike’ [C-]

Proficiency: 0%

[Description: a potent martial technique that taps into the dark energies of the void, enabling the user to deliver devastating blows that bypass conventional defenses.]

[Damage effect - 10%]

[Condition: can be used for only 2 minutes in a battle, until the cool down time complete]

[Cool down- 1 hour]

[Range - Melee]

“A new skill in the middle of a mission, cool, I wonder how effective this skill would be if I used it with my dagger plus the lightning Step, I guess I would be invisible”

Dexter kept swiping the system and was glad how his levels were increasing, and then his eyes were caught on one particular skill.

[Skill: Absorbing(D-)]

Description: allows the user to freely absorb the skills of the enemies killed by him.

Capabilities: able to imitate the skill absorbed from the dead enemy.

“Maybe I should give it a try”

[Skill activated - Absorbing]

[Error, unable to absorb any skill. No skill detected]

‘Sure, I almost forgot, they're just a bunch of hungry dogs, they possess no special skill’

“Let's try the other”

[Skill activated: Regeneration]

Suddenly a black-reddish smoke came out from the dead monsters, as it was being absorbed by Dexter, his eyes turned dark for a bit, but turned normal after three seconds.

[Regeneration completed. All used Mana had been restored, all used stamina had been restored, all used strength had been restored]

[Player absorbed many deceased, additional rewards had been granted]

[MP+20]

[Stats+2]

[HP+5]

[Current MP- 37]

[Current stats- 22]

[Current HP - 35]

“Damn this is obviously OP!” Dexter exclaimed, but soon noticed the smell coming in from inside the dungeon, it meant there were more monsters and he had only gotten started.

They started coming out one by one. Dexter mimicked the smile of the devil, with his new overpowered skills he was overconfident of clearing the dungeon with no stress.

“Let's put all my skills to the test” his eyes glowed blue faintly.

[Voidstrike skill activated]

[Lightening Step activated]

[Result for combining two skills]

[New skill had been added to the store: Invincible assassination (D+)]

[Cost price; 2,000 SP]

“Cool”

Dexter readied his demon dagger, as it gleamed with a faint dark light, as soon as he saw the herd running towards him, he charged forward towards them also.

Dexter slashed his way through the pack like an unseen assassin, his lightning Step amped with the additional speed from the demon dagger made him absolutely overpowered compared to the monsters.

The Hellhounds lunged, their jaws snapping inches from Dexter's face, but he moved swiftly out of reach, his enhanced speed granting him an advantage. With each strike of his Demon Dagger, he felled a Hellhound, the blade piercing through their thick hides with ease.

Yet, the herd seemed endless, with more Hellhounds pouring forth from the shadows, their numbers overwhelming. Dexter fought valiantly, his movements fluid and precise as he deflected their attacks and countered with deadly strikes of his own.

[50 seconds left for the skill ‘Voidstrike’]
