《Almighty Dung [Dropped]》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Looking out for random stalagmites, while taking golem in consideration was the most strenuous and nerve wrecking thing in this fight
Dung felt it was all strange from the beginning. As he knew, the system never showed enemies' skills in appraisal if one didn't have special item of some sorts. Golem's HP was absurdly high for its level and had little to no meaning if he couldn't even deal single point of damage
The whole quest was nerve tearing struggle, giving no rest to the player, but was that all it was to it?
People would die hundred times already in his place, if they lost their focus for even a single second
Would anyone be able to formulate plan of his own in this situation?
,, The game won't give impossible missions. As for difficulty, it depends on quest ''
That's what Dung believed
,, There has to be a way ''
The hall started trembling
,, It's time ''
Dung took a deep breath and focused wholeheartedly
,, Stalagmites never hit the golem, so I won't know if it deals any damage to it if it does, but anyone would subconsciously dismiss this idea. I think the gap lies within this detail. If not, then I really have no other ways of killing it ''
Stalagmites started raining down. He focused to not get hit, but even more so on stalagmites above golem
,, That one! It will fall so close to golem, but it won't hit, but what if I...''
His untouched MP pool decreased by 15 and falling stalagmite weirdly halted for less than a second in the air, then continued diving down. But during this halt the golem stepped one more step than it should have
- Shadow bind!
* Bang
The stalagmite smashed down heavily onto golem and fragmented into pieces

Big red numbers appeared above golem's head
,, That's it! ''
Dung rejoiced, but didn't let his guard down and continued avoiding falling stalagmites, while thinking
,, I have 15 Magic, which equals to 150 MP. Shadow bind costs 15 MP. I have no MP potions so I have exactly ten attempts. The golem has 2250 HP. It needs exactly 10 hits to die. The cool down of shadow bind is 50 seconds. The golem won't always use skill tremor when my cool down is up, so I need extra time. I have about 13 minutes left. I should barely make it in time, but I can't afford even a single mistake. I have no HP potions too. I learned its skill pattern and can avoid its attacks, but I can't be distracted even for a second ''
Seeing the light of hope, Dung gave his all and continued his struggle miraculously
Golem didn't reveal any more intelligence after speaking that one time and continued falling in his trap. After 9th hit, golem's hp was down to 195/2250. Dung had enough MP to cast shadow bind one more time and remaining time was 1 minutes and 38 seconds. He felt numb after this inhumane unfair battle, but he was getting excited
,, Finally, I can take this thing down, get the rewards and I swear I will sleep for 16 hours. I'm so fucking spent ''
The last chance came. Dung grinned and cast shadow bind on the falling stalagmite and smiled in relief, but then his smile froze. The stalagmite missed by a single centimeter
,, H, how is this possible? ''
Dung was sure of his accuracy
,, What went wrong? ''
Dung didn't notice how golem's eyes gleamed more brightly right before he cast shadow bind
Pent up dissatisfaction turned into anger and he started cursing like a ruffian to piece of rock while dancing between stalagmites

- Aaaaaaaah, Fucking piece of shit! What else do you want from me?!
Time was running out, but no matter how indignant Dung felt he would not have another chance
00: 59 seconds remaining
Feeling desperate, Dung roared and ran towards golem while avoiding the rain of stones
- It's not over yet!
His eyes shone dangerously
[ Are you sure you want to use 1 SP to learn skill Sap? ]
- I've never been so sure!
[ Learned F grade skill Sap ]
[ Sap(F)(Passive) - For each successful attack on enemy, steal 1 static MP ]
This was a trashy skill nobody cared about, but Dung had no other choice but to waste his precious SP gained from previous hidden quest, because this was the only thing that could save him now
The golem cast attractive force, amplifying the speed at which he was approaching
*Bang
- 76
Dung's HP reached dangerous level instantly as he took golem's smash almost head on, but he didn't care and rained down punches on golem's tough surface
- 0
[ Passive skill Sap activated, restored 1 MP
- 0
[ Passive skill Sap activated, restored 1 MP ]
...
Finally he finished barrage of punches and jumped back. 15 MP was restored
00: 20 seconds remained
The hall started trembling and shaking once again
The rubble, which reached up to 4 meters now lessened the distance from ceiling to floor, causing Dung to have less time to react to falling stalagmites
- Aaaaah!
He kept dancing between falling stones shaped like thin cones while seeking the best moment
00: 10 seconds
,, Not yet ''
00: 6 seconds
,, Come on ''
Finally the opportunity showed itself. The stalagmite appeared near golem at convenient angle
- Now, shadow bind!
*Bang
The dust flew in the air
Dung fell on rubble with his butt and panted while grinning. He showed his middle finger at golem which had broken down into pieces
- Game over, motherfucker
[ Hidden quest ''First battle'' completed
Time used: 29 minutes, 58 seconds

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region
