Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 32
Advertisement
After recuperating, Klein waited for the next day to arrive.
Everyone was either chatting to relieve boredom, gathering intelligence, or paying close attention to the trading channel.
When they saw food or water, it instantly attracted the attention of many people.
Today, there were actually people trading food and water earlier than Klein had expected.
It was basically a small portion for trade.
It could be dozens of grams of meat or dozens of milliliters of water.
The price was even more treacherous than Klein's!
But there were still people who were willing to trade.
Compared to the fly meat on the shelves of others, in comparison, Klein was acting like a nouveau riche!
In the world channel.
"Why does Klein feel like he has endless supplies and can't finish them every day?"
"Sigh, the gap is widening. If I'm not wrong, the One-Eyed Lizard and Yellow Sand Octopus are definitely crypt creatures that he killed."
"Does anyone know how many catacombs he has dug up? As far as I know, the highest record is William's twelve catacombs. He's a special forces soldier."
The entire channel was in heated discussion.
There were already people considering whether or not to exchange with Klein.
At the same time, Klein had already arrived at the twentieth catacomb.
Just like the hint, the ground in the twentieth catacomb was filled with lava!
If he fell down, he would melt.
Red lava.
The entire catacombs was hot, and waves of heat assaulted him.
Little Fox curled up in Klein's arms, lowered her head, and looked down. Then, she retracted her head in fear.
Its four claws hugged Klein tightly, afraid that it would fall into the lava.
Klein floated in the air.
The cool breeze from the propeller behind him made him feel slightly more comfortable.

"Open the treasure chest and leave as soon as possible."
Klein quickly searched.
Although it was at night, the red light emitted by the lava illuminated the entire catacomb.
The catacomb wasn't big, but it was high enough.
Klein continued flying upwards.
Above him was a protruding rock mass.
It was about five meters long.
Klein landed on the rock mass.
First, he saw three treasure chests two steps away.
They were placed side by side.
They were all bronze treasure chests.
"What a pity. They're only bronze treasure chests."
Klein suddenly frowned.
That was because he saw a black cave at the end of the rock mass.
The entrance of the cave was covered in a black membrane.
"Someone came to dig it?"
Klein approached carefully, his gaze never leaving the black membrane.
[In front of you is a special cave. There are six Kobolds in it. All the treasures they have painstakingly gathered are piled inside. As long as you fly in the air, the Kobolds can't do anything to you.]
Klein was stunned.
"Kobolds?"
Because they were in groups, the danger factor for Kobolds was 42.
If they were alone, their lethality would be limited, and the danger factor wouldn't be that high.
According to the illustrations, Kobolds could use weapons and set traps. They liked to collect treasures.
As long as one avoided the traps and floated in the air, they could use the runic crossbow to fire one shot at a time.
"Open the treasure chest first."
Klein squatted down and chose to open the treasure chests first.
The three treasure chests were opened at the same time!
[System notification: Bronze Treasure Chest+3]
[System notification: Earth Runes+1]
[System notification: Wind Runes+2]
[System notification: Water Runes+1]
[System notification: Silver Block+2]
[System notification: 300 ml Coke+1]

"Eh, there's Coke? It's not labeled."
Klein put the items away.
It was a pleasant surprise to see four runes appear from the three bronze treasure chests.
"I've gathered all the wind runes. I can create a speed blade."
Klein opened the creation interface.
[Perfect Runic Speed Blade: Wind Rune 2/2, Iron 51/15, Silver 4/2]
Klein chose to create it.
With the notification, the creation was successful.
A straight-edged blade about 1.5 meters long appeared in Klein's hand.
The blade's width was about two fingers placed together.
The surface of the blade was bright.
There were silver-white patterns from top to bottom.
Klein waved it a few times, and it was very light.
Furthermore, there was no reminder to add a soul this time!
"When I wave it, it feels like I'm being pushed by a gust of wind. It's too easy. As expected of a runic knife."
Klein couldn't put it down. He slashed more than ten times without any effort.
And every time he brandished the knife, the shadow of the knife flashed past quickly. It was silent and as fast as the wind.
"Let's test its sharpness."
He slashed.
He aimed at a bronze treasure chest.
A cold glint flashed!
The treasure chest split into two.
It was as though he was chopping wood.
"Good blade!"
Klein raised the knife and checked the position of the blade.
There was no curled blade, so it was intact.
"Compared to it, the machete is simply trash."
Klein clicked his tongue.
Machetes were unable to cut through copper and iron.
The three treasure chests were all broken into copper pieces by Klein.
"Let's head to the next catacomb."
Klein held the runic crossbow in his hand and brought the little fox through the black membrane.
The stuffy feeling instantly disappeared.
It was replaced by cool shade.
It wasn't completely dark inside.
Klein also saw the flames.
The entire catacomb was long and narrow, pitch-black.
It was like a piece of intestine, with a slight bend in the middle.
Klein remained in the air as he looked down.
Golden prompts kept appearing.
There were many traps on the ground.
The sound of the propeller spewing gas wasn't quiet at all.
In the long and narrow catacomb, it was abnormally ear-piercing.
Klein had no intention of concealing himself.
He would use his voice to lure the Kobolds out and use his aerial advantage to exterminate them!

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
