Dungeon Reset Chapter 19

“I can’t be late!”
It was a road that he had been to once, so it only took him awhile to reach the place where he could hear the roar.
A huge door appeared in front of Jung Da-woon, who ran hurriedly in the fear of falling behind again.
It was the boss’s room.
Boom! Kwakwanggg! Kwangggg!
A deafening roar was just behind the door.
“Ackkkkk!”
“Save me!”
Beyond the door was a battlefield.
People’s shouts and screams.
The ferocious sound of destruction, as if it was a bomb, sent tremors through the floor and took his body by shock.
“What the hell is in front?”
Jung Da-woon opened the door of the boss room with an anxious look on his face.
Kwaaaangggg!
“Groarrrrrr!”
There was a thick cloud of dust.
The participants were screaming while rolling around.
And beyond that, a huge shadow came into view.
“Wha-, what the hell is that…….”
The eyes of Jung Da-woon trembled, as he witnessed for the first time the identity of the final boss.
But, at that moment,
“Groarrr!”
The Golem’s heavy fists were descending in search of a new sacrifice.
Below it, a participant was sitting in terror.
“Ackkkk!”
Jung Da-woon moved instinctively.
“Vigor of the One-Horned Boar!”
He threw the mud brick that he took out from his inventory with all his strength.
Baaam!
The heavy mud brick hit and the Golem’s arm fell and turned into a heap of dirt.
“……Groaaan?”
The Golem’s gaze slowly landed on Jung Da-woon.
“What? This shit isn’t a big deal, is it?”
Seeing the Golem with his arm broken in one shot, Jung Da-woon was somewhat relieved.
But,
Fwooshhh.
The pile of dirt merged together and its broken arm began to regenerate again.
It only took a few seconds for it to regenerate back to its original form.
“……Should I run away?”
Jung Da-woon thought for a moment.
He didn’t even need to consider about it.
Boom boom boom boom!
“Groarrr!”
The Golem ran towards Jung Da-woon.
“Fuck!”
Jung Da-woon moved right next to it and threw a mud brick.
The earth brick bearing the Vigor of the One-Horned Boar was enough to blow the Golem’s head apart.
However, the problem was that it regenerated quickly.
“How did Seung-woo-hyung even kill this bastard?”
On the other hand, Jung Da-woon’s appearance made the participants relieved but bewildered at the same time.
“Wh-, who’s that?”
“I’ve never seen him before.”
“What’s that skill?”
“It’s crazy strong though.”
They were dumbfounded to see Jung Da-woon throwing bricks at that solid Golem and actually destroying it well.
“Is everyone all right?!”
shouted Jung Da-woon.
His words brought the participants back to their senses.
“Let’s, let’s help too!”
They picked up their weapons and joined the fight again.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Golem’s attention was directed towards Jung Da-woon, they attacked his back.
As all the firepower was concentrated at it in one shot, the Golem had to slow down for a while.
But that was only for a moment.
“Groarrrrr!”
The extremely agitated Golem began to pound the ground with both arms.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom!
“Ackkkkk?!”
“Kyaaaaaaaa!”

The final site tremored, and a shockwave that seemed to bring down the heavens and the earth hit the participants.
There were a number of people who lost their balance and fell on the floor.
And the Golem swung its arms towards them.
“Groarrr!”
Thumppp!
“Ackkkk……!”
People’s bodies flew up the sky like broken dolls.
Jung Da-woon’s complexion turned pale as he was throwing mud bricks from afar at that formidable destructive power.
“Look at that piece of shit! Seriously, how did Seung-woo-hyung get through here?”
What would it be like for Ryu Seung-woo?
When he thought of the strongest warrior he knew in his head, the answer came out immediately.
‘Right! Legs! Let’s aim for the leg! I’m gonna break his sense of balance!”
Thanks to the attention the Golem paid to the participants, the waiting time for the Vigor of the One-Horned Boar was almost over.
“Vigor of the One-Horned Boar!”
Power springed up within him again.
The duration of 40 seconds, the countdown began.
Jung Da-woon threw the mud brick again and broke the Golem’s leg.
Baaaam!
Shaking!
“Groarrr!?”
The Golem’s giant body stumbled and fell.
Boooom!
“Wow!”
“It fell!”
The participants burst into cheers.
“Everyone attack!”
As Jung Da-woon shouted, the participants attacked the Golem again.
Swords, spears, and various skills were poured down on the fallen Golem.
The Golem’s arms and legs were separated from each other and shattered.
But the speed of recovery was faster.
The scattered mounds of soil gathered quickly to restore the Golem’s body.
Eventually, when the leg was reconstructed and it raised himself again, Jung Da-woon, who was waiting for him, invoked his skill again.
“Vigor of the One-Horned Boar!”
70 seconds of cooldown has never felt this long.
Baaaam!
He smashed the Golem’s knee again by throwing a mud brick.
“Groarrrr!”
Thud thump!
“No-, now!”
“Attack!”
The same situation was repeated several times.
Jung Da-woon aimed only at his legs.
When the Golem fell, the rest of the participants bombarded it with attacks.
As they continued attacking several times, their hands and feet became more and more accustomed to each other, and the Golem was helpless.
But as time went by, things got worse.
People were getting tired, while the Golem continued to rise.
“Groarrr!”
“Why the hell aren’t you dying?”
At this rate, one slip of mistake and it seemed like everyone would die.
The bloody moment continued.
Meanwhile, Jung Da-woon who was relatively relaxed attacking from afar, gazed sharply at the Golem.
“Is there perhaps a weakness somewhere?”
Sure enough.
As the body of the broken Golem was recovering, a glimpse of light leaked out from the recovering body.
Jung Da-woon shouted while pointing there.
“There! There’s something near the solar plexus!”
“Solar plexus? Did you say the solar plexus?”
Everyone’s eyes began to gleam at that moment.
“There it is! I can see it too!”
“It looks like there’s a nucleus hidden on the side of the solar plexus!”
They found what they had to target.
They pulled up all their strength and bombarded the Golem with fierce attacks on the place where Jung Da-woon was pointing.
“Groarrrr!”
Then the Golem began to stir up a violent rampage.

They’ve guessed the correct place!
However, it didn’t matter even if its weakness was found, it was not easy to attack the nucleus through its solid and hard body.
It was so big and thick that no matter how many times Da-woon threw the mud brick, it was not destroyed.
“Groar!”
As it curled up seriously and guarded the solar plexus with its arms, it became more difficult.
The Golem’s arm was like an infinite shield that would always regenerate.
“That’s cheating!”
It was a situation where there was no way to clear.
Even Jung Da-woon, who has lived in clumps of dirt every day, never imagined that a monster made of soil would be such a scary thing.
‘Wait, soil?’
An idea struck Jung Da-woon’s head, like lightning.
“Does that bastard belong to the soil? Then wouldn’t I be able to use the Dirt Lump skill on it?”
It might have been a living monster, but it was made of soil anyway, so there was a possibility that the skill could work!
“What if that’s not the case?”
Fear enshrouded him at that moment, but Jung Da-woon decided to take a life-taking risk.
He wanted to believe in the skills that has saved him from countless crisis until now.
“Get out of the way, everyone!”
Jung Da-woon pounced on the Golem pompously.
Golem responded immediately when it saw what was unfolding.
He was the existence that tormented the Golem the most.
“GROAR!”
The Golem’s heavy arms were menacingly lowered to crush him.
“Vigor of the One-Horned Boar!”
At that moment, Jung Da-woon jumped high with all his might.
Kwanggggg!
The dust clouds rose thickly.
When the dust was lifted, Jung Da-woon took out the iron spike without the Golem knowing, and he was hanging on it with an iron spike lodged in its arm like a harpoon.
And he shouted desperately while reaching his hands out.
“Dirt Lump!”
Zwappppp!
It was an amazing sight.
Along Jung Da-woon’s hand, the Golem’s arm was torn like cotton candy!
“Groarr!?”
“There we go!”
Jung Da-woon shouted, lifting up the round ball of soil in his hand.
His gamble was a success.
“Wo-,woww……”
“He’s really awesome.”
“Did he also have that kind of skill?”
The eyes and mouths of the participants who witnessed the scene unfolding before them were wide open.
Jung Da-woon had no intention of stopping there.
He had to finish everything before the Vigor of the One-Horned Boar was over!
He ran along the Golem’s arm and began to activate his Dirt Lump skill in succession.
“Dirt Lump! Dirt Lump!”
“Groarrrr!”
The Golem shook its arm in a panic, but its arm had already disappeared.
The missing arm became a lump of dirt and went into Jung Da-woon’s belongings, so it could not be regenerated.
“Groaa-rrr?”
The Golem couldn’t even understand what had happened.
In the meantime, its body was being devoured every minute.
“Dirt Lump! Dirt Lump!”
Sometimes it was the arm, and sometimes it was the leg.
Jung Da-woon drilled a hole in the Golem’s body at random.
“It’s time for the finale!”
Finally, Jung Da-woon touched the Golem’s solar plexus, which was near its belly area.
“Dirt Lump!”
“……!”
The Golem’s solar plexus was ripped open.
At that moment, the Golem’s movement came to a standstill.
And slowly it began to crumble into a pile of dirt.
Drooping down…..!
Jung Da-woon quickly backed away.
And he stared at the pile of dirt in front of him with an unbelievable expression on his face.
“……Uhhhh, did it just die?”
As if it was all planned, he could feel the effects of the Vigor of the One-Horned Boar disappearing.
[Skill has advanced to Level 9.]
[Skill has advanced to Level 10.]
[ Skill has advanced to level 5.]

“Holy crap? Did I really just hunt this all alone?”
He felt more dazed than happy.
He happened to kill the stage boss by myself.
It was also completely shattered at that.
“The me who’s just a Producer class, and I killed the final boss!”
A belated thrill came over him.
Of course, the feelings of the surviving participants were different.
“Wo-, wow…….”
“He’s really awesome…….”
“So cool…….”
Everyone looked as if they were fascinated by something.
It was like watching a hero in a movie.
He suddenly appeared at the moment of crisis, saved everyone, and instantly shattered that dreadful monster.
“By the way… …who is he?”
“I know right.”
“I’ve never seen him before.”
It was strange that such a powerful player was not seen throughout the game.
They limped their injured bodies towards where Jung Da-woon was it.
“He-, hey …… Thank you.”
“If it weren’t for you, we’d all be dead.”
“Thank you very much.”
“Oh, you don’t need to thank me. We’re all in the same boat right. Hahaha.”
Jung Da-woon replied with a condescending smile inwardly.
“OK! That was a pretty natural meeting.”
It was a much better meeting than he thought.
“I was supposed to help from the side and bury it, but I guess after doing this much, I’m considered their lifesaver, right?”
[……Tchhh.]
The Rabbit Helper appeared in the air.
The Rabbit stared at Jung Da-woon with a chewed up face.
[What a great way to spoil the mood. I can’t believe you sprinkled your error piece of shits on the almost finished rice.] [T/N: The Rabbit literally said that, it just means his existence mitigated the deaths of the other participants.]
“Come on, I almost died too.”
Jung Da-woon said while acting coy.
The rabbit’s face was distorted because it was more annoying.
“I didn’t want him to join them because I thought he’d do this. Damn it, fuck.”
Even for the Rabbit, it was unclear whether Jung Da-woon’s skills would work on the Earth Golem or not.
However, the worst results unfolded at the last moment.
“Helper! You said you’d send us home after the game, right?”
“Now send us back to the original world!”
The Rabbit vented its anger at the participants who proudly claimed their rights on something they didn’t achieve themselves.
[ Heh. The game’s not over! It’s not over stupid!]
“Wha-, what!?”
As usual, a commotion broke out among the participants.
The offended Rabbit growled, glaring only at Jung Da-woon.
[Quickly now, fuck off to the next stage. Bring that error seed along with you.]
In front of their eyes, a gate that led to Stage-2 was opened.
“There’s another stage!?”
“This is ridiculous…….”
“Just let us go home……!”
The participants were frustrated.
But Jung Da-woon felt a glimmer of hope that he could finally move on to the next stage.
“I’m finally able to follow after my companions!”

8 627Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
