==[You have 1 hour left in the Oosara Falls’ Hidden Dungeon. You will be forcibly removed from the hidden dungeon in 1 hour.]==
I closed the message in front of me as I stood there panting, beads of sweat dripping down my forehead. I glanced over at my UI and sighed. “87…it’s been a while since I’ve seen my Fatigue get up that high.”
I hadn’t slept for four days now. I did take a few naps in between to keep myself sane, but they weren’t for very long, and I hadn’t taken a single break since the day before. I was running out of time.
I dragged my exhausted body to another Golden Slime and attacked. I could rest for as long as I wanted after the hour was up.
“Kwek!”
As tired as I was, I kept moving from Slime to Slime.
---------------------------------------------------------------
==[You have eliminated a Golden Slime, a Silver Slime and an Ash Slime in order.
Congratulations! You will receive 11x the EXP earned.]==
==[You have gained a level.]==
“Nice!”
==[Your time in the Oosara Falls’ Hidden Dungeon has come to an end. You will now be flung back out into the outside world.]==
I was then moved to the entrance against my will and thrown outside. I laughed even as I landed hard on my behind. I never took training easy before, as there was nothing better to get stronger than training, but I had really gone all out this time. I couldn’t help but laugh at how I had pushed my body to its limit and squeezed out as much as I could from the hidden dungeon.
I lay there in the soft dirt, giggling, before I slowly got up. “I should go rest up at a nearby village for now.” I looked at where the dungeon entrance once was, and turned and dragged my tired body to the nearest village.
When I got there, I booked a room at the cleanest inn. I dragged myself up to my room, where I took a long, hot shower before throwing myself onto the bed. The village bustled loudly outside the motel, but I was too tired to care.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Huh? Damn, I slept for two days straight.” My Fatigue was over 90 the last time I checked, but I didn’t realize it would make me sleep for that long. My stomach grumbled as I got out of bed. “Hungry… I need food!”
I went over to the inn’s restaurant and ordered as much food as I could. There were only lamb and chicken instead of beef, but anything was better than Bread and Drink. As I wolfed down the dishes that came out, I could start hearing what people around me were saying.
-Now that I think about it, the entire village was pretty noisy two days ago.-
“I heard that the Labi Guild cut off its alliance with the Sahtashwi and the Beni-Kinant Guilds over at Ahmedabad.”
“Yeah. The Labi Guild tried to keep them at bay, but the two guilds broke through and pushed the Labi Guild back to Anand.”
“Anand isn’t that far from here, though.”
“That’s right.”
“I thought the three guilds had an agreement to divide up India amongst themselves. Why did the Labi Guild end the alliance?”
“I heard that the Labi Guild decided to join hands with the Shudras and the Dalits.”
“Yeah, I heard that too.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. It hasn’t been that long since they destroyed the Sunil Guild; what’s the point of doing that now?”
“Don’t go making sarcastic remarks like that. In the end, they’re fighting for us Shudras.”
“What… I’m just saying.”
“Anyway, it looks like things are going to get rough around here, so be careful out there.”
“Yeah. I heard that the Sahtashwi and the Beni-Kinant Guilds have eyes and ears all around now. Be careful of what you say.”
“Those sons of bitches. They’re so greedy even though they have everything they want.”
“Shush! What did I just say? It’s your life if they hear you.”
“Alright… fine. I’m just frustrated, is all.”
I listened carefully to the conversation going on next to me as I scooped up mouthfuls of lamb curry.
-The Labi Guild? The cab driver from before told me that those three guilds controlled India; why are they fighting each other now?-
I was slightly curious as to what had happened in the last two months, but nothing more. I already got what I came for, and I had no intention of butting in needlessly.
I finished my meal and went back to my room.

“Damn!” The Rank 7 Guardian Greaves and the Rank 7 General’s Majestic Mantle boosted my Stats quite a bit, but the best part here was my Stat points. In two months, I had gained more than three thousand extra Stat points.
“Geez…what should I do?” I invested the 192 Shaman Ko stat points into STR for now, but didn’t know what to do with 6,334 points.
I could easily get both my base AGI and VIT past 10,000 each with that many points. If I did, then I could get 1,000 more points to both AGI and VIT. That sounded so enticing!
“Should I do it?” I was probably the only one in the world who had the possibility to get my STR to past 20,000. I still had time.
“Yeah, I’ll do it!” I began to increase VIT as it was closer to 10,000. As I kept increasing it by one point, the message I was waiting for appeared.
==[Your base VIT has surpassed 10,000 points.]
Your total VIT points: 12,650
Your base VIT points: 10,000
VIT points increased by items: 2,450
VIT points increased by kills: 200 (The King-Emperor’s Prominent Dignity)]==
==[You will be awarded a bonus for surpassing 10,000 points in VIT before anyone else.
VIT will be increased by 1,000 points.
This bonus is awarded to the first person to accomplish this achievement.]==
It took me 3,591 points to get my VIT to 10,000. “It took more than I expected, but it’s definitely not a waste of points. But damn, my VIT is actually at 13,650.” At that moment, another message appeared.
==[You have obtained a Great Achievement.]
You have reached 10,000 points in two Stats (STR, VIT) before anyone else.
You will be awarded a bonus of 1,000 extra Stat points.
This bonus is awarded to the first person to accomplish this achievement.]==
“Holy shit!” I did not see that one coming. I did not know about that, like I did not know about the reward for reaching 10,000 points.
For a second, a shiver ran down my body. “I’ve been getting a lot of extra Stat points these days.” It happened back at the King-Emperor’s Tomb, and recently at the hidden dungeon. Had I decided not to meet with Song Haechang, there was a chance Haein wouldn’t have handed me that note before I left.
“Well, if that’s my fate, then so be it!” There was no way I would turn any of this down.
-By the way…-
If I got my AGI up to 10,000 as well, then I could get another 1,000 points to it, and get another bonus from the Great Achievement.
-I have 3,743 Stat points left over after investing 6,334 into VIT and getting an extra 1000 points. It won’t take long to get my AGI up to 10,000…-
I invested the rest of my unassigned Stat points into AGI. There was no reason not to since I knew about this huge secret.
“Open Stats Menu.”

“It really was a good idea to come here.” I had first hesitated coming here when I opened the note, as I had no idea what to expect in this country. It was only because my excitement for the dungeon was stronger that I had chosen to come here.
“Well, my next goal is to get my base AGI to 10,000.” I got up from my seat and left the inn. I decided to head over to Alexandria, Egypt, where there was a high-grade dungeon I could use whenever I wanted to.
“With my abilities, a high-grade dungeon should be a piece of cake!” I said to myself as I started walking for Mumbai, where the Messenger Guild was located. Soon I arrived at the Manori Creek.
“Heh.” One reason I decided to use the teleporter in Mumbai and not simply use a Warp Scroll was that I wanted to see if I could run on water with my higher AGI.
I took a running start before jumping high over the river. My right foot came down right onto the surface of the water with a small splash. I half expected my foot to sink completely in and drag me into the water, but it felt as if the sole of my foot met some sort of repulsive force in the water. The force allowed me to jump two more times.
“Blink 1.” As my momentum slowed down, I felt my feet sink deeper into the water and used Blink to speed me up. I landed on a boulder at the middle of the river and jumped again.
I jumped two more times, which got me closer to the other bank, and used my second Blink to land on the other side of the river.
“Wow…that actually worked.” It wasn’t perfect, but I had just run across a four-kilometer wide river.
“Huh?” I then felt a large number of people heading towards the Manori Creek. “What’s going on? This… feels like there are at least a hundred of them.” It didn’t take long for the group to show up in the distance.
“That’s… Lagus Aman?” I saw the famous protector of the weak at the front of the group. Then, as the group got closer to the river, one of them recognized me and sprinted over.
“Mr. Lee!” It was Akashwi Aman, who I had met at the Hive auction in Macau.
