2024-10-29 19:42:56"I think that's a good idea, do you guys agree?"
“Mmm…of course, why not?”
There was no objection from the party members, and everyone agreed. From the beginning, Archie was just a spectator in the back, with Layla casting support spells, while the other three adventurers were in the front row, slaying monsters.
Unlike the three adventurers, who wore complete equipment such as armor and weapons, Archie and Layla only wore makeshift equipment. They didn't have any prior preparations, so they used equipment that could be bought in Craydon city.
"I have a suggestion," Kane chimed in. "In order to save time, it is better for the three of you to proceed to the left side first, let me and the kid unlock the secret room on the right side."
"That's right, it's possible that there are other parties that can precede us, right?"
“Mmm…after all the monsters int the early stage are only blue-level, Kane alone is enough, right?”
Without Layla's or Archie's approval involved, the three adventurers suddenly made up their minds. Layla still showed a bit of disapproval, but the three adventurers were so good at persuading her that she agreed.
The current dungeon has a natural state, like a cave. The monsters in it are blue-level and above. Kane seemed to be fine with scorching the monsters. He took advantage of his class skills to attack.
“[Hiding],” Kane's figure disappeared and merged with the surrounding rocks and soil composition. Slowly, he moved his foot closer to a goblin and struck its nape, “[Stab].”
Archie and Kane continued exploring. While they were alone, Archie decided to ask, "I didn't read any information about a secret room over here."
"Relax, I'm a purplecaste, I've explored this dungeon several times and know the secrets in it," explained Kane casually. "Did you see that?"
They arrived at an intersection. Four goblins spawn in a dead-end track.
“In dungeons, there are many mysteries and secrets, as well as rewards. Well, information like that is scattered in dungeons. For someone who has done frequent exploration, their eyes will get used to it," explained Kane again.
“[Hiding].” Same skill, Kane approaches the goblin horde and throws a rock towards the other side of their path with his skill, “[Throwing Stone].”
The goblins who heard the sound turned their attention and approached the intersection.
As the goblins walked past, Kane launched his attacks, still enveloped in [Hiding] skill.
“[Stab],” The first skill killed the backmost goblin, then he threw his two daggers, “[Throwing Knife],” which also immediately scorched the next two goblins.
“[Back Sliding], [Stab],” Kane muttered as he finished off the last goblin.
"You can get out, kid," he continued to Archie.
Archie observed a Thief class’ moves, analyzed them, and judged whether he should learn the skills, but he couldn't decide that right away. Considering the limited skills one could have, it was better to think deeper.
“What I just did was carry out a killing order, that is, kill monsters in succession. The order can go through many things, such as monster grade, type, formation and so on," explained Kane.
They were nearing the end of the path, where there was only a wall of dirt and rocks.
It's worth mentioning a secret passage; as Kane was arranging the surrounding rocks, a gap appeared in the side of the wall and revealed another path.
“This is an empty room, right?”
"Yeah, at first I also thought like that," Kane replied spitefully.
Archie walked through the gap and had to tilt his body to get inside. Not much different from the dead-end path, only a tiny room that practically has nothing.
“This is a bait room, when someone goes inside and their partner closes the gap of this secret path, dozens of monsters will spawn around you, then this secret passage will trigger the mechanism and increase the spawn rate of monsters randomly throughout the dungeon.”
While explaining plainly, Kane was still squatting by the rocks outside the secret room. He was still playing with the rocks like when he opened the secret passage.
"So, good luck trying to survive, brat," Kane said with a satisfied grin.
For the second time, the ground shook, and the secret gap closed again—leaving Archie alone in it.
No need to wait long, one by one, spawn monsters appear and surround Archie.
“You idiot, I couldn't believe you were so easily fooled…um…what's your name again? Ah~ its pointless.” Kane chuckled and walked away.
As an experienced Thief, Kane already has a lot of knowledge about the dungeon they are exploring. One day, he and his comrades stumbled across the previously empty room, and thanks to that, they triggered the dungeon mechanism and increased the number of spawn monsters.
At that time, he and his comrades managed to survive and never again repeat the same mistake of luring the secret room. In a particular case, this time, they deliberately provoked the room to separate and lock up Archie. Their target from the start was—Layla.
“Hahaha, I can't wait to flirt around with that girl. Even after we played with her, I could make her rare class to our advantage. At least I can guarantee my Redcaste grade,” Kane muttered.
When he returned and tried to catch up with his comrades, the path that had been relatively quiet without many monsters spawns now had several spawn creatures blocking his way back.
“Ah~ this is troublesome, [Hiding].”
One of the Thief’s class's skills, [Hiding], could hide the person's presence from the surrounding monsters, but this skill wouldn’t be practical when used around high-level monsters.
Not only in that area, monster spawns are increasing, but also in the path that Kane's other comrades are currently traversing. Layla immediately felt the strangeness, but Daniel was already guarding her against the back.
"Don't worry, I'll watch over your back," Daniel said.
Cody, who was in the forefront, smiled when he heard Daniel's words as if welcoming the success of their plan. Thanks to their partner's greed, the two of them had already been caught in the same trap before, but it was profitable now. Because they already knew the safe areas in the dungeon to hide in and the shortest way out.

It all started when Coby and Kane were watching Layla sitting alone in the guild building. They admire Layla's beauty and body shape. Even though the girl has tried not to stand out and dress modestly, the purity of her beauty still radiates and invites their attention.At a glance, they could tell that Layla must be a noble, and a noble must be wealthy and have money. Instead, those who were in a stalemate spent the rest of their money on drinking until a depraved idea popped into Kane's head.They can play around with the girl and ask for something in return. A classic method that any petty bandit could do.The choice of The Cursed Dungeon was not purely random, but they had thought of using the dungeon mechanism to isolate Archie and Layla. Reasons can come later, give the girl a bit of a threat, and people will simply believe that incident happened and the newbie can’t be saved.On the other hand, Layla acted more aggressively because she followed her emotions when she saw her fia
Isekai Grimoire System Chapter III: The Cursed Cave Dungeon (V)
The Cursed Cave Dungeon is a purple-level difficulty and a monthly type dungeon. This dungeon was not a high-difficulty dungeon, but adventurers who wanted to explore it still needed sufficient knowledge and power level. Whitecaste-ranked adventurers could only enter white-level dungeons, Bluecaste only blue-level, and so on. But this system could be busted by having more than three people at the same rank as the dungeon level and one newbie. Even though it is classified as a low difficulty level, a dungeon is still strange and unknown to humans. They just explore and repeat for rewards and treasures, but the mystery of the dungeon doesn't stop there. “Damn it, isn't this strange? The monsters' levels suddenly increased, and we had a hard time killing them. Not to mention the numbers seem never to lessen.” "There must be something going on, we've never experienced this before." As the first team to advance exploring, leaving Kane and Archie behind, they are currently being pushed

Spread Anomaly, a dungeon mechanism accidentally triggered by Archie. The initial trigger is to open a secret room near the starting path, then kill all the monsters that spawn in that room; then, the mechanism will run immediately, making the spawned monsters increase in number and stronger. Mechanisms like this were common in high-level dungeons, but it always maintained the possibility that low-level dungeons would also have them. Monsters in dungeons have a thickness of Health Points that can be seen if one masters the "Eyesight" ability. It's a passive ability that anyone can learn, and Archie just learned it after taking a test at The Given. “I need more attacks than Kane, who only uses two or three skills. Is it because this weapon is low grade?” Archie muttered to himself after blowing away the monsters. His Eyesight saw their HP only decrease by 20% after receiving the attack. [Ordinary One-handed Sword] [Category: Spiritual Weapon] [Rarity: Whitecaste] This world has

Things have changed, and now Archie comes and takes the initiative himself. Basically, he didn't care what the three adventurers would get into. Allowing them to flee towards the entrance was understandable—so that no one would see him using his Grimoire.The atmosphere inside the cave area is rather dark, making their vision limited. Kane, who ran into Archie, did not immediately realize that Archie was using the Grimoire’s powers. Whether Kane will think about where Archie got the skill from, it's not essential.The deal was taken unilaterally by Archie. He decided to continue the dungeon and headed for the next room, while the other three adventurers immediately ran towards the dungeon entrance. Though it was a waste since they wouldn't be able to escape immediately, at least they would be safe there—that was what they thought.Layla has activated [Aura of Velocity] on Archie. His figure can now move faster and more agile by combining Layla's skill effect with the passive skill fro

“Archie…what is this?”A gust of wind blew within the dungeon's narrow passages, circling the two as if prevent the monsters from approaching. The wind was so fast that it made the dungeon seem to vibrate.In order to summon a Spiritual Weapon, Archie needs to activate the Grimoire. However, once summoned, he can deactivate the Grimoire and continue using the Spiritual Weapon as appropriate. The weakness is that its power is reduced by half. Archie was able to notice after feeling the difference when he fought the monsters in the secret room and outside of that room.The wind carried along monsters like goblins, bats, and rats. They collided with each other until their HP was finally drained and lost.The wind wasn't a skill. Archie can create wind waves using his Mana without casting a skill, but it costs more Mana Points than a skill from the Grimoire.Layla was lying on the ground, sitting between her thighs, when she felt the vibrations in the dungeon. Her figure watched Archie, s

Each dungeon must have an initial and a final stage. Before the adventurers can be said to have successfully conquered a dungeon, they must face the last area called the Boss Stage.The adventurers can learn about the monsters' composition, traps, natural conditions, unique patterns, and so on through the dungeon guide. Specifically, high-level dungeons have their guidebook, which adventurers can research before trying to conquer one.As Archie lunged forward at the enemies, Layla cast [Deminish Aura] on herself to minimize the enemy's attention and [Augmented Aura] on Archie to increase immunity from enemy attack types.They didn't know what element or type the Boss they were fighting yet, so Layla cast a spell that generally raised temporary status.The Boss Goblin gives off a purple aura mixed with a reddish combination. That meant the difficulty level was probably above Purplecaste's level.Archie landed his foot near the Boss, and he started moving his legs and arms. Standing on

They no longer count how long they had waited, but the three adventurers were already at their starting point. Just a step when the gate opened, and they would be out of the dungeon.The dungeon vibrated three times, and a distinctive sound was heard, indicating that Archie and Layla had successfully cleared the dungeon."Seriously, they managed to conquer the dungeon?"“I've been thinking since the last tremble, and I thought they got cornered and decided to retreat. But I was wrong."The dungeon gate opened, and the three adventurers could get out.Under such circumstances, they’d hoped that other adventurers would step in and help them. In that case, they would probably have enough confidence to face the boss stage. They didn't know if it was luck or otherwise, but they got out safely in the end.Choosing to exit the dungeon from whichever door, whether the early stage or the boss stage, they would still come up at the initial entrance where they entered, but the three adventurers
Isekai Grimoire System CHAPTER IV: THE CRUSADER'S DECISION
The Litera Empire is led by an Emperor known to be responsible and has extensive knowledge about their empire. History records that only the true descendants of the Emperor can and may become royal leaders in the future. Ancestry can be obvious when someone is eighteen and seize their ID card. In general, these purebreds would obtain a transcended class that is advanced from the basic class with greater potential. Classes circulating in the world are very diverse, and it has yet to be discovered whether there is an element that can be used as a reference for someone to awaken a certain class or completely randomly. Some of them also evoke classes that they feel are not needed in a battle or dungeon conquest but can be useful in social life, such as farmers, fishermen, etc. When someone awakens a transcended class, most of them will be given a facility by the empire, making it easy to access all their needs, such as education, because they are valuable assets in conquering dungeons.

As the group entered the city, they saw that chaos had already begun to unfold.

Akhem and Harlequin seemed pleased with the destruction they had caused, but Archie felt a pit in his stomach."What have you done?" he asked, looking at them with horror."We have done what needed to be done," replied Harlequin. "We are bringing change to this world, and sometimes that requires sacrifice."Archie shook his head, unable to comprehend the cruelty of their actions. "This isn't change, it's destruction.

As the group made their way through the desert, Archie couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about the situation. The sandstorm had died down, but the air was still thick with dust and it was difficult to see more than a few feet in front of them. Akhem and Harlequin led the way, with Archie following closely behind.Suddenly, Akhem stopped in his tracks, causing Harlequin to bump into him from behind. Archie almost ran into Harlequin as well, but managed to stop just in time. "What's going on?" he asked, confused.Akhem turned to face them, his eyes scanning the horizon. "We're being followed," he said in a low voice."Followed? By who?" asked Harlequin, also looking around."I don't know yet. But we need to keep moving and be cautious," replied Akhem.

"We understand that this is a lot to take in. But we hope that you'll consider it and join us in our cause."Archie remained silent, unsure of what to say. He had always thought of himself as an ordinary person, not someone with the power to change the world. The idea of possessing a grimoire and using it to achieve such a goal was overwhelming.After a few moments of contemplation, Archie spoke up. "I need some time to think about this. It's a big decision, and I can't just jump into it without knowing all the facts.""Of course," said Akhem. "Take all the time you need. But keep in mind that the longer we wait, the more difficult i

A man in a white suit was standing on it, addressing the crowd."People of Krakal, I come to you with a message of hope. For too long, we have suffered under the rule of corrupt leaders who care only for their own interests. But I promise you, things are about to change."The man's words were met with mixed reactions from the crowd. Some cheered, while others remained skeptical.Akhem turned to Archie and Harlequin.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this idea of changing the world. What if we cause more harm than good?"

They had discovered a powerful artifact called The Tree of Elders, which they believed held the key to their grand plan.According to legend, The Tree of Elders was a sentient tree that had existed since the beginning of time.

We can't possibly last that long,” Dannais was frustrated to hear that.Naturally, even though Archie only exaggerated a little, it doesn't mean that the potential for it to happen doesn't exist at all. If the demons existed and survived by absorbing things from this world, then they wouldn't be able to continue to defend against it and the humans would definitely be wiped out in a few days.“I'm just exaggerating. Since I fought them first, they haven't gotten stronger or weakened, it seems my thinking in that direct

The situation at the church had not been much different since Archie had left it some time ago. The bandits and guards were still squabbling and attacking each other while occasionally cooperating when the demons attacked them. Even so, it didn't seem like it would make their fortunes any better.Archie still has a somewhat blurry look in his eyes, the effect of a ritual that somehow he could do. He thought, it seemed that indeed the holy power was intertwined with each other, or, Elashaa Whitehall's body which was empty of holy power, still had traces of being able to receive the holy power from the Grimoire of the Light.Occasionally, and not infrequently, earthquakes still occur wherever they are. Everyone just thought they were facing a natural disaster, but no one would know that this was one of The Clowns' plans.
