Deadly Deer's Playground, Selvan Dungeon.
I was currently running towards the forest right in front of me.
It wasn't a large forest, and even the trees were far enough from each other to see through them clearly.
That's why, it was easy to locate the purple coloured weapon floating on the ground.
It was a blade that everyone in the game knew of. Especially me, who had a very unpleasant yet pleasant memory with it.
I went ahead and picked it up, immediately getting a notification in front of me.
[Congratulations, you've found a 'Hunter's Blade'.]
[You gained '1' Dungeon Point. Finding another 'Hunter's Blade' will not give you any points.]
[Hunter's Blade]
[+12 physical/magical damage
+5% extra damage to beast-type monsters even when stored in inventory
Item Description- Basic equipment to guard yourself against beast-type monsters. Nothing Special.]
"Hahaha!"
I couldn't control my laughter after seeing the blade. It reminded me of a lot of things. Especially my dumbness from back then.
I was drowning in bad luck those days, and couldn't even imagine the fact that this simple looking blade would end up giving me a legendary class.
'It was dumb to think it won't give me anything special though. It was guarded by a fucking Wyvern.'
Ahem!
For a second, I forgot that my actions were getting live broadcasted.
'Sheesh, the pressure.'
Since I had already gained a weapon, it was time to hunt. Even if the weapon was low level, it was still better than nothing.
'Now, now. Where's this deer?'
I was wondering where this deer was, the one who's hunting ground I was at.
—-Sssk! Sssk!
Just then, I heard the sound of leaves rustling, and violent footsteps. I immediately ran towards the sound and saw around 10 players ganking on a deer monster.
The deer looked like a regular deer if you ignored the ferocious red eyes, unusually large horns, and large canines sprouting out of its disgusting mouth.
Right, it was anything but normal.
"Attack on its abdomen, the abdomen."
As expected of players selected to participate in the event, they were quick enough to know where to attack and where not to. Monsters that had the bodies of deers, horse and such had a common weakness, and that was their abdomen area.
It had noticeably lower defence than the rest of their bodies.
Still.
[Deadly Deer]
[Level 4]
The deer had a way higher level than the players, and most of the players were without a weapon. One or two of them had hunter's blades, but judging by their posture, they didn't have the class to use weapons like swords and knives.
"Hey, can I join?"
I asked from afar, and some of them looked in my direction.
"Ohh, Shura!"
"It's Shura."
I waved towards them with the kindest smile that I could muster.
"Fuck, look at that confident smirk. Goes well with his monstrous looks."
"....."
I always forget about my looks.
I checked my stats and it was unsurprisingly not bad for a level 0 player.
"No need for help."
A man with aqua coloured hair, robust looks and masculine energy snorted. He didn't have any types of equipment on him, but his confident look and shapely body gave off an aura as if he could take on the world.
"It's Viking!"
'Of course, it's him.'
He was a famous player known for his godly tanking ability. But he was even more famous as the 'Offensive Tanker'.
Not only was he a good tanker, he also dealt a decent amount of damage to his opponent even as a tanker.
If my memory serves me right, he's from the same guild as Malaika.
He formed fists with both his hands and punched them towards each other as he ferociously looked at the deadly deer, as if challenging it.
The deer, who was looking around at the multiple opponents surrounding it with a 'ready to attack' posture, responded to Viking's taunt and ran towards him aggressively.
As soon as the deer's horns were about to hit Viking's abdomen, he grabbed both of the deer's horns and used his arm strength to stop the deer twice his size.
"Amazing."
"Don't wow here dumbasses, attack it."
As soon as Viking said that, the players who had the hunter's knife started stabbing it in the deer's abdomen, some making scratches while others successfully piercing its belly.
—-Wooooonnnggg!
The deer's loud voice resounded as it struggled wildly in an attempt to get out of Viking's hand, jumping around and kicking every player who tried to attack it on its back.
"Fuck!'
A single kick from it was enough to log out the players with low health.
When Viking felt like he was going to lose his grip, he let go of the deer who then wildly shook its head before angrily charging towards Viking, this time trying to bite him instead of slamming him.
"Taste this bitch!"
Viking shouted as he formed a fist with his hand and his health visibly depleted without him getting hit. His fist started shining and he hit the deer directly on its forehead with a flashy punch.
—-Mooaangh….
The deer tried to make some sound, but fell straight to the ground limply, blood running out its nostrils.
Soon, the deer vanished into particles of ashes.
"Woohoo! I levelled up!"
"Me too! I gained dungeon points too!"
Viking looked at the other players before rubbing his nose a little, as he was proud and embarrassed at the same time. Then he turned towards me and looked at me with ferocious eyes.
'Well, I guess he doesn't like me much.'
I didn't know what I did to piss him off so much, but I was not interested in knowing it.
—-Wooooongg!!
—-Wooonnnggg!!
Just then, multiple sounds started coming from all directions, and we could see at least a dozen deadly deer surrounding us, looking at everyone ferociously while making angry noises.
"Fuck, that guy called for backup with his first shout."
"Okay genius, we all could guess that much ourselves too."
The players started panicking as they gathered together, preparing to attack.
Viking on the other hand, confidently harrumphed. He had also levelled up after killing the deer, and all his lost HP and mana was recovered, plus he had gotten additional stats. Handing two deers at once was no big deal for him now.
As he was preparing for the deers to attack him along with the other players, I found my perfect opportunity to gain some points.
I slashed through air with the hunter's blade to get used to the current slow reactions, before running towards the hoard of deers.
"What's he doing?'
"Shouldn't he group with us? Charging alone is just reckless."
I could hear the players judging my actions. But what can I do? They were the first ones to refuse my kind request, so I'd just make it even by stealing their kills.
I couldn't use any of my attack skills that I got from 'Eclipse', as eclipse wasn't available here, but I could still use the attack skills that I personally knew.
The oh-so-normal hunter's blade started getting covered in a coating of visible, thick blue coloured burning mana, as I used Mana Blade on it.
The deers charged towards me when they saw a man daring to recklessly run towards them. Some were trying to attack me with their horns while others were attempting to bite me and stomp me from their front legs.
I crouched down swiftly, even though I was slower than usual, it was still fast enough for these level 4-5 mobs.
And slash.
I slashed my dagger through the neck of the first deer that I came in contact with. The dagger passed through its neck like butter, and soon a stream of warm blood started gushing out of it, making it fall on its knees and turn to ashes a second later.
[Congratulations! You have defeated a Deadly Deer!]
[You have gained 12 EXP!]
[You have gained a level!]
[You have gained 1 Dungeon Point.]
'Not bad.'
It was mentioned that it will be harder to level up inside the dungeon, so I guess the first few levels will be easy before the players start feeling despair.
—-Woooonng!!
Oops! I forgot that I had just dived into a hoard of these monsters. Immediately standing up, I quickly stabbed the abdomens of the two nearest deers in quick succession, even before they could respond.
The movements were so quick that the blood that came out of their wounds felt 'delayed' for a second. The deers didn't die in a hit, like the other one. I guess the neck was a better and riskier option than the abdomen.
Both the deers turned towards me angrily about to attack me as I stabbed their abdomen again, this time giving it a large cut after the stab. Their guts wriggled out of their body before they turned into ashes.
"Ouch!"
[You have lost 12 HP!]
I was careless for a second and a deer hit me straight at my ass, making me fall on my knees as the dagger in my hand fell far away from me.
—-Stomp!
A deer angrily stomped on the dagger, crushing it to pieces in a single hit.
'Those things aren't known to be durable in the first place.'
I used both my hands in a push-up motion and jumped back up, and unconsciously touched my butt.
Even after the level reset, my health was still in the four digits and could be said to be massive in front of these measly deers.
The deer who crushed my memorable hunter blade looked at my direction as if being smug about it.
"Shouldn't we help him?"
The other players who were quietly watching my performance finally asked.
"No need, let's see what a 'legendary class' can do."
Viking said sarcastically, but his eyes were still shining as he looked at everything playing out before him. I guess the hostility in his eyes was down by a notch?
"Hey, you do realise that isn't the only weapon that I had right?"
I said to the deer looking at my direction angrily, as I held the deer who had attacked my butt with one hand placed on its horn.
I formed a mana blade on my palm, as this time, transparent sharp blue mana turned into a blade.
—-Chop!
I sliced through the butt sneaker's neck, cutting it into two without much effort.
[You have gained 12 EXP!]
[You have gained '1' Dungeon Point.]
I had killed three deers till now and had only levelled up once.
Now I know why the max level was just 15.
Anyways, this will be fun nevertheless.
