Chapter 61
Lone Arrow inspected the Abyssal creature:
Greater Chaos Demon
Level
400
Hp
400,000
DN 45,000
MA 35,000
Skills ???
The demon, indifferent to the two inspecting it, continued munching on the remains of the werewolf.
“What are we gonna do now?” asked Lone Arrow
She looked over her shoulder repeatedly, checking for signs of the two guild players.
“We can’t fight it, but look over there.” Dave pointed at something far behind the demon.
It was a tunnel.
This Chaos Demon was simply a level-checker (1). It would be certain death for low-level players to enter the Underworld. To discourage them from making the effort, the demon was placed at the entrance as a deterrent.
“Come on.” He walked forward, toward the demon.
Lone Arrow hesitated and looked around for the guild players again.
He probably has a plan. Whatever it is, I’m in. Doing anything beats waiting for the guildies to gank us.
When they entered the Demon’s Aggro-range, it howled and tossed aside the carcass it was feasting on.
“Use Blink and get to the cave while I distract the demon!” Hoping to buy a few seconds, Dave used [Royal Decree] to summon the ghost knights from his ring.
The two ghost-Knights obeyed Dave’s instructions and attacked the Demon, leeching the aggro from Dave and Lone.
Lone Arrow waited until she saw the Demon was distracted by the ghost-Knights then used [Blink] to teleport past the demon and run for the cave.
Once the Demon’s aggro was focused on the Knights, Dave followed Lone Arrow at a run.
The Demon opened its maw wide and spat two fireballs. Radiating immense heat.
The fireballs struck the knights and instantly turned them to ash.
Dave’s eyes widened. Lone Arrow hadn’t gotten to the tunnel entrance yet, and he was even farther away from it.

The demon turned towards him, howling in rage it opened its maw and started casting the same skill. Two more fireballs shot out of its mouth. This time at Dave.
“WHAT HAPPENED TO THE COOLDOWN?!!” shouted Dave. His legs didn’t stop moving.
He turned to face the coming infernos and activated [Rising Strike], using the moment of invincibility it granted to negate the incoming damage. His use of the Skill protected him, but the heat still scorched his skin and singed his hair, including his beard. He was left looking like a Raggedy-Man.
As Dave staggered up, a wicked idea occurred to him. He used Spectral Bomb to plant a skull in the ground. Smirking, he resumed his run toward the cave.
The Demon kept casting fireballs.
Monsune and Pain-Killer entered the chamber. They faltered on sighting the Demon, but recovered and continued moving into the chamber, approaching the Demon’s aggro range.
Dave finally made it out of the demon’s aggro-range, and the demon just stopped mid-cast, the fire fading away.
“Not even close, baby!” Dave crowed.
“Yeah right! You smell like burning hair and meat” She wrinkled her nose in disgust.
Dave didn’t deign to answer her. His plan saved her ass too, so she would just have to put up with his antics.
Dave looked back at the demon and spotted Monsune and Pain Killer just beyond its aggro-zone.
“You saw the two guildies, right?”
“Yah, but they don’t have the chops to get past the Demon.”
The Demon, without any targets to attack, had returned to its gruesome feast.
“If they don’t risk it we are home free, and if they do, the Demon will take them out.” Dave continued watching the two guildies.
After a brief huddle, Monsune took a ready stance and Pain-Killer ran directly into the Demon’s aggro-zone.

“We should probably just go. Look, there’s light coming from down the tunnel,” Lone Arrow pointed.
Dave looked and saw the light Lone indicated. But he just smirked, saying “Nah, let’s wait here and see. I have a good feeling about this.”
Pain-Killer entered the Demon’s aggro-range causing the demon to react with his standard attack. But Pain-Killer used a skill that made him briefly invulnerable, resisting damage from the Double Fireballs.
Dave did not know the name Pain-Killer’s skill, but he knew all immunity-Skills came with long cooldowns. He would not be able to use the same skill again anytime soon.
Pain-killer drank a Cleanse Potion just as Monsune entered the Demon’s agro zone and attacked it with [Wind-Cleave].
Dave’s smile grew as Pain-Killer and his partner got closer and closer to the cave entrance.
They were using Aggro-Switch, a basic strategy. One player moves into the monster’s agro zone pulling attacks and building threat. Then the second player enters and attacks the boss, pulling aggro when the first player drinks a cleansing potion. Once the first player is far enough from the monster he attacks it, and the second player drinks a cleansing potion clearing his agro. Then just rinse and repeat, leapfrogging through the monster’s zone. It is like a game of tag with the monster playing ‘It.’
Pain-Killer drank another cleansing Potion and Monsune attacked the demon, building up his threat level. Momentarily free from attack, Pain Killer moved closer to the tunnel then turned and attacked the boss with a [Shield-Toss], pulling aggro again.Monsune drank a potion, and cleared of agro advanced toward the cave.
It was going as planned, the idea might sound simple and repetitive, but it required timing and coordination.
Close enough to look the draugr and the archer in the eyes Pain-Killer yelled, “You’re all gonna die in there!” He believed it too, but his spidey-sense was tingling, and he didn’t know why.
Dave snapped his fingers.
[-321]
The demon already finished casting his fireballs.
[-89 000]
It was an instant Kill, of course.
You have slain an enemy
+20 Contribution point
Pain Killer was reduced to floating motes of lights and the demon turned on Monsune.
Moments later, motes of light replaced Monsune.
“You...are truly evil,” Lone Arrow moued in admiration at the smiling draugr.
“That’s a relative concept.” he turned and entered the cave.
“Do you have any torches?”
“Here.” Lone Arrow threw a torch to him.
Dave proceeded down the damp looking tunnel, torch held high.
“What are we going to do when they send more people after us?” .
“I just got some contribution points; so going back to the Dead-Realm shouldn't be a problem anymore.” He looked at the End Mission option.
His expression soured.
“Shit.”
“What is it?”
“The damned game is trolling me!”
End Mission option disabled
“I can’t leave…”

World Step (Rewrite)
This is a rewrite of my story World Step. Though, in reality, this is my first serious draft. The shadows grow deeper on the planet of Whorrl even as a dark, and ancient ritual takes place within the depths of The Abyssal Mouth—a chasm of both fortune and calamity. The story follows Quintin, a Grandmaster Martial Artist from Earth, as unforeseen elements conspire against him from the depths of space. *No Harem *Strong MC, but by no means does he go through enemies without injury or at least learning something. *Throw on [Horror], and possibly [Psychological] elements. *Dark Fantasy with some [Grimdark] leanings. Notes: this will be a place where I endeavor to rewrite and fix issues. With that in mind, expect revisions, edits, and other things of that nature.

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
