The system prompt confirmed his conjecture, he indeed entered the hidden dungeon. The Necromancer's hideout is one of the very few solo hidden dungeons.
The appearance of dungeons will only start after one reaches level 10 .... as there were none near the starter villages throughout the continent.
The actual method of locating the necromancer's hideout was to do a sidequest which required the taker of blackwater village quest to ask the village mage for helping him to find out the source of the pollution .
In exchange for his help the player needed to do a quest for him first..... it was a vicious chain quest before coming to this location .... but his past life knowledge helped him skip that process completely.
The chances of someone stumbling here on accident was negligible and even if they did the one to do it had to be the bearer of blackwater quest to actually be rewarded for this dungeon exploration was even more abyssal.
He started exploring the dungeon and except some low level 3 skeletons .... there was no real threat yet.

About 30 minutes into the game he suddenly levelled up

Rudra smiled and distributed 5 points to agility .... currently agility was the most important thing he needed
He called the system panel

His pace was much quicker now , he felt satisfied
Moving forward he saw a ghoul and paused.
[Ghoul Captain](level 7) : can use darkness spells , weak against light and bashing attacks

A level 7 ghoul was a extremely formidable opponent
they were weak to bone crushing attacks , but to slash and stab damage they were completely immune.
Rudra did not have any spell tomes yet and his only attacks were stab and slash
He absolutely could not deal with this ghoul , but in the narrow cave ..... bypassing him was impossible.
Rudra thought for a while then decided to engage in the fight the only way to win was to slice the ghouls head off clean ... regardless wether he will win or not will be left to fate.
He charged and the ghoul was alerted , The stab penetrated deep into the ghouls abdomen.... but it did not affect him much at all.
Rudra deflected the ghould blows and was glad that atleast he was evenly matched in strength.
The bout was long and Rudra kept running around deflecting blows and dealing no damage ..... it was extremely taxing for him but there was no other alternative .
The ghoul finally made a mistake when he went for Rudra ' s shoulder but he sidestepped to avoid the hit.
This was his chance as with a powerfull slash he decapitated the ghoul.

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT .....
darkness bind was one of the best skill tomes in the entire game... in his past life this skill was rarer than rare ..... one sold for 500 gold... thats like 500K dollars .In his 'previous life' each and every of his loot was taken away by his guild superiors never did he possess such a formidable skill.
If he sold this skill tome.... it would clear his fathers debt completely. Ofcouse he would need to wait for a long time , untill people learned about the value of this skill ... in the current market it would not even fetch 10 silvers.

Aghhh f**k it he said and learned the skill
[Darkness bind] : creates shackles made of shadowsteel ..... immobilizes troops ( max 3) for 5 seconds.
Cooldown time : 3 minutes
It was a near cheat skill ..... to bind someone for 5 seconds would change entire outcomes of battles.
Rudra was originally 30% confident in clearing this dungeon but now he was 65% confident
This skill changes the game.
He went forward smoothly ..... no serious threat untill he reached outside which definitely looked like a laboratory .
He entered the laboratory and the necromancer frowned.... he was busy conducting some sort of potion but never did he expect someone to enter his laboratory
What happened to the ghoul captain guard he stationed outside....
" BEGONE" he threatened spawning 7 skeletons
Rudra sprung into action taking on the skeletons, the skeletons though level 4 were no match for him as he cut through them like butter.
Soon all 7 skeletons were killed .
The necromancer gauged the strength of the adventurer that barged in his laboratory and found him weaker than himself
[ Necromancer Oma ] ( Level 11 ) ( Dungeon boss)
HP 2500/2500. :
Proficient in dark magic and the art of necromancy
do not engage one on one unless you are a paladin
Rudra knew he was outclassed but now he had the darkness bind trump card
He decided to chip into the necromancer's health before using it.
As he engaged in combat he realized it was extremely difficult to get close to the necromancer
his attacks especially the darkness blast was annoying to deal with
Rudra knew he could at most be hit with 2 such blasts before he would die , hence his first priority was defense
He dodged and dodged but his stamia had not recovered completely hence each movement took more and more strain to execute ... if this continued he would enter the fatigued state loosing half of his combat prowss ... that would spell guaranteed death.
He had no more options he had to put it all into the darkness bind and hope for critical hits
DARKNESS BIND... he used the spell and the necromancer was rendered movementless
This was his chance.... he straight went for the necromancers throat .... slash
-1500 critical hit
and stabbed his heart
-1500 critical hit
The necromancer collapsed dead.He did it
'Hahahaha he actually did it ' .... this shows exactly how usefull darkness bind is without it there was no way he could have fought and won against the necromancer

Boss
Riley Grey is your average hard-working college student. Average meaning he does just enough to get by. Despite his lack of dedication to all things educational he still strives to work hard on one thing at least, kicking butt in his favorite virtual reality game: Dreamscape Online. Still, he isn't great at that either, until he gets caught up in a freak accident while playing. All of the players now have their eyes set on a tempting target. Unfortunately, that target is now our hero turned villain. He must struggle through everything that life throws at him in order to reach the simple goal he set for himself. To explore this new world he finds himself in.This story is Discontinued. Due to personal reasons, I had been pulled away from writing for an extended period of time. Now that I have my time back, It's just no longer fun to write this story. I won't remove any content for those still curious (a lot of my readers had told me I was doing a good job), but it's not likely I am going to add anything either. Thank you for the adventure that writing this story for you has become. I have read every comment and review and still come back to them. It has been wonderful to see all of you supporting me on this journey.

The 8th Day
One day life is good. The next day it isn't! The boundaries between... well, whatever they're between.. have shattered! Monsters burst out from cracks in the universe, and reality suddenly begins to function similar to a game -- but not a game that anyone knows all the rules about! Magic is suddenly real, but so are monsters and death! Lots of death!And the worst part of it all? I think we did it to ourselves! We invented video games, and personally I think that great Finger-in-the-Sky picked up a console somewhere and started playing them. Since He liked what he saw, he must've declared, """"On the 8th Day, let there be Game!"But what do I know about it all, really. After all, I'm just """"The Witness"""" forced to observe it all.__________________________________________________________________________Author's Note: There's a lot of tales where characters get stuck in a Virtual Reality. """"Sword Art Online"""", """"Log Horizon"""", """"The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor"""". This is a story told with the premise inverted -- instead of a person from reality going into a virtual world, what would happen if the virtual world instead came to reality?I want this tale to speak about the aspects of the game, as it has affected the current reality, but the focus of the story should never be on the """"reality-turned-game"""" itself, but on the characters and their oh-so-human struggles, personalities, and attempt to adjust and live within the bounds of their new existence. Hopefully this won't just be a story of """"reality turned into a game"""", but instead will be something more meaningful such as a story of the strengths, perseverance, and humanity of man-kind as they try to adapt and face the unknown.*** And, most importantly, I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. ***WARNING: RATED MATURE M[18+] FOR GORE, SEX, VIOLENCE. The apocalypse isn't a pretty place to try to survive in, and neither is every scene in a story trying to describe it.

Smiling master
Aki always knew death would be his get away ticket for something, but he was mostly expecting an endless struggle against demonic captors in hell, but he can certainly do with netting a job as a dungeon master in another world.
