《From Max to Zero to God》Chapter 4- Creeping Caves
Advertisement
The first calamity brought upon the age of dungeons. They are… a strange phenomenon, they are a treasure for those who love adventure, a calamity for cowards, and an act of god for religions. But the several governments treated these dungeons as resources, countries like China and America dumped all their players into dungeons, promising them immense wealth.
It was why China and America became extremely powerful countries in the future. Meanwhile, Japan focused on stopping all dungeons from opening, making sure to keep the citizens safe before attempting a dive. A ‘dive’ it quite literally a dive into the dungeon, normally there would be a team of 5, all with different elements to back one another.
Classes would later be fit into four categories: Tank, Damage Dealer, Support, Mage, healer.
But there have been times when people solo dungeons, gaining bountiful rewards and an unknown title…
The moment Han Ling’s feet touches the hard, wet ground…
Tri-ring
Dungeon Quest: Wolf Slayer
Mission:
Slay 40 wolfman. (0/40) Slay 5 LVL 3 wolfman. (0/5) HP above 100. (145/150)
GRR….
A dozen wolfmen stood snarling at the human, showing beastly grins at their luck for a human to run right into their hunt.
12 wolfmen… 4 at LVL 2… 3 at LVL 1. Damn… Looks like I need to spend some money.
Han Ling hit the shop, dumping 500 drabs into a tome of experience.
Tome of experience (Miscellaneous)
Use: Grants player 500 XP once.
Remark: Basically, a cheat item for starters…
A golden glow bathed Han Ling, snaking around his limbs, nourishing the muscle, and hardening the skin. Golden texts form above his head, showing the words LVL 1 before vanishing and replaced with LVL 2.
Han Ling took a look at his stats.

Tri-ring
[Randomizing Class Specific reward…]

LVL 1 Sword Aura (Class Specific skill)
A sword is imbued with mana, increasing Attack Damage by 10% of Atk. Lasts for 30 Seconds. Cooldown is 60 seconds. Mana cost: 20
Han Ling smiled. Damn where the hell was this luck in my past life? Sword Aura is a top ranked skill for swordsman. There is a 10% chance to obtain the sword aura skill during the LVL 2 advancement. Even Han Ling got the skill after a year of living in Sovereign’s Battleground.
Now I have this skill, all I need is mana and I’ll be unbeatable for a week! The goddess of luck loves me!
Han Ling grinned stupidly at himself, causing the wolfmen to frown. Where did this mental human come from? The LVL 2 leader stepped forward with a growl and Han Ling’s grin vanished, replaced with a cold hard stare. He raised both swords, right arm in front, left over his head, legs bent, like a coiled snake ready to strike. Three wolfman howled, dashing forward with claws outstretched.
Cracks formed on the ground below Han Ling, his legs bulging. Like a loose bullet, Han Ling fired forward, slashing at the first wolfman.

[Slash]
-59 Critical
He took a step forward, and thrust his other sword forward , stabbing straight through the beast’s heart.
“ARGHHHH!!!”
With his LVL 2 strength, he threw the wolfman to the other two. The corpse slammed into the two wolfmen, staggering them for 2 seconds. The moment they regained their balance the human was a feet away from them, both swords raised, eyes gleaming. Panic filled their minds as they raised their claws. But it was too late…
[Slash] [Thrust]
-78 CRITICAL – 73 CRITICAL
His right sword buried into the wolfman’s throat while the left slashed across the other’s eyes. The wolfman on the right grasped his throat, guggling blood from his maw. The other howled as he covered his eyes, blood flowing out the gash.
[You have inflicted debuff BLEED. Enemies shall lose 5% hp every second]
It didn’t take long for both to become still, bodies turning to white dust.
A golden glow flowed over Han Ling once again as the word LVL 3 appeared above his head.
The weaker wolfmen shivered, involuntarily taking a step back, flinching as the human looked at them. His gaze was cold, calm, and calculative… like looking into the deep abyss…
“Who’s next?”

MAZE - The Endless Quest
As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18, she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up, she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm. Everyone has a level, status, and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good, you can also become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters, creatures, and things that the natural world is missing, such as magic and demi-humans. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer, but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some, but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it.
