Chapter 11 11 - I Have To Become Powerful

Sam is walking towards the blacksmith association. He wanted to know if they can make him a good bow and arrow from ironwood.

He walked towards association with a cheerful smile. He is happy now because his parents finally permit him to go dungeons but only in low grades dungeons.

[Flashback]

While eating, he told them about his breakthrough from early to intermediate F grade.

After listening to his achievement, both Victor and Hina became happy and worried at the same time. Sam once forcefully tried to breakthrough using limit break, but he lost consciousness due to pain extreme pain. He was in a coma for 1 month.

Hina hugged Sam tightly and started asking many questions about his health. Gloria also became worried and almost hug him but didn't succeed because of her mother.

After showing them he was perfectly fine now. Also, he was not an idiot who directly wants to breakthrough while he was only in early F-grade.

After checking that he was perfectly fine, they finally relaxed. Suddenly, his father started laughing and give him a thumbs up. His sister gives thumbs up with a rare cheerful smile. It's the first time Sam sees his sister's smile.

In these happy moments, he asked about going dungeon. They agreed, but one condition. He can only hunt on the first floor. Sam immediately nodded.

After finishing food, he immediately left the house, informing them that he was going to the blacksmith association.

[Flashback End]

While thinking, Sam came in front of the association. He entered and saw a reception room just like the warrior association, but didn't have that many people like the warrior association. But one thing common among them is pretty common that they always appointed girls as receptionists.

" Hello, miss. Can I place an order?" He came in front of a receptionist and asked her.

" Yes, sir," the receptionist said with a smile.

" So, I want to make a bow from this. Is this possible?" Sam bring out the ironwood and place it down on the table and asked.

It surprised her to see the ironwood. It's a quite rare material. She didn't think that he will bring outs rare ironwood.

[A/N: Well, if you have luck, then sometime, you can get the rare materials in low-level dungeon.]

"Yes sir, this is possible but you have to talk with our chief." She said while maintaining her smile.

" No problem." Sam answer casually. He knows that if he brings out this type of rare and orders something, then he has to talk with the chief blacksmith.

"Please wait a moment sir, I will inform the chief." The receptionist said and went towards the chief's office.

After some time, she came with an old man. The old man is quite tall and muscular. He has brown hair with a pair of sharp eyes. If you don't know the old man's actual age, you will think he is not that old.

The old man is called Henry Gastuv, a 65-year-old man but looks 50 or 55 years old. Best blacksmith of Base city.

" So, young man, you want to make a bow from this?" Henry asked Sam while checking the ironwood carefully.

"Yes," Sam answered the old man.

" Come back 2 days later to collect your bow," Henry said and went back to his room while taking the ironwood.

Both the receptionist and Sam looked at each other and laugh awkwardly. They didn't think old man will behave like this.

After paying an advance payment of 1000 dollars, he received a token. After putting the token in his inventory, he left the association.

Sam looked It's now 6:00 pm. He walks towards his home.

30 minutes later, he reached his house. After telling his mom that 'he came back, he went to his room.

After a quick fresh up, he lay down in his bed and started searching about dungeons and monsters' details on his phone.

He finds many articles about dungeons. He clicks on an article.

'It's said about the history of the dungeon. They didn't appear at first when monsters first appeared on earth but after 2 years later they appeared.'

Sam became surprised, he thought from the first day when monsters appeared on earth dungeons also appeared on earth.

Sam continues his reading.

"

When monsters first appeared on earth, they didn't come from dungeons but came from portals. 2 years later dungeons appeared in the same place as portals.

So, some people believe those portals and dungeons are the same, but no one knows the truth.

Some also believe that these dungeons can send you to a different world.

At first, few dungeons appeared on earth, but they appeared later. Humans build their city around dungeons.

If you want to stabilize any dungeon, you need to kill the last boss of the dungeons. Then the monsters can't be able to break free from the dungeon barrier and attack the human city.

So, warriors always have to kill the dungeon's last boss. But the earth didn't have that many high-level warriors.

We have around 50 A-grade warriors and only 15 S-grade warriors. So, we humans weren't able to clear all the dungeons because of the limited number.

Many S-grade dungeons have been unclear until now.

So, when warriors could clear the dungeons, they build their citys.

Earth is now divided into two zone: safe zone, and danger zone. The safe zone is where dungeons have stabilized, and the Danger zone is where they weren't able to clear the dungeons.

It's our luck that there is no dungeon higher level than S grade and we only have 10 S grade dungeons.

If supreme dungeons like SS grade or SSS grade appeared on earth, then we all will be doomed, Earth will be destroyed. "

Sam became shocked by reading this.

[A/N: No one knows if those dungeon higher level then S-grade exist or not. It is just a guess.]

After finishing reading the 1st article, he clicks on the 2nd article which is about the monsters.

" They came to the earth suddenly and started their rampage. Some believe some kind of mastermind behind them, some believe they want to take over Earth. At first, people had little power to fight the monsters, but that changed when dungeons appear on earth. If you kill any monsters that didn't spawn in the dungeon, their body will not turn into dust, and also they didn't drop any loot. And most interesting thing is that if any dungeon's monster kills another monster, the dead monster's body doesn't turn into dust. They satisfy their hunger by eating other monsters or humans. "

Until now, he didn't know about any of this. He had headaches. He needs time to digest all of this.

Previous Sam thought he can live lazily doing nothing. He also thought he would have time to level up, but after reading all of this, he understands he had little time.

What if Danger zone's monsters attacked the humans? Many will die and he can be one of them.

Sam closed his eyes while digesting all of this information. It even shocked him that his parents, his sister doing this dangerous hunt.

Sam knows dungeons are dangerous but didn't know they are much more dangerous.

" What will I do if one day a supreme grade dungeon appears on earth and my parents, my sister, have to fight those monsters for humanity?" Sam asked himself this question while silently lying in the bed.

"No. No, I can't let this happen. I have to become powerful. I have to protect my family." He got up from bed and vowed to his hearth. Even they aren't his actual family, but after spending some time days with them he thinks of them as his own family. So, he wants to protect his family.

[A/N: Hey guys, I want to set a goal for him. "Protecting his family and becoming stronger" will be his goal. I know it will be a pretty common goal, even so, I want to create this goal for him. He also guess that the supreme grade dungeon exist.]
