Jae-hoon spots some dragons and he watches from afar, still in his stealth mode while looking for a chance to attack a dragon.
"How am I going to kill them right now? I'm sure the elemental ones are tougher than the non-elemental ones. I should check how many stat points I have left," he thinks to himsel before tg system interface pops up, displaying the stats tab.
[Stat points: 80]
"I have 80 stat points. I should allocate them into strength for now. But how much, though? Would 20 be enough? Considering how tough the non-elemental ones are, I can assume the elemental ones are at least 2 times tougher. My scythe stats have increased by 20%. And the strength stats are not bad either. Maybe 20 would be enough. Just to make sure, I'll allocate 25. Yeah. Let's go with that," he thinks to himself, calculating how much stat points he needs to use before deciding on 25 stat points in strength.
He looks around to look for one elemental dragon that's alone. When he finds one, his Moonlight Stealth skill suddenly run out of duration.
[Skill Moonlight Stealth has been dispersed]
[Cooldown: 65 seconds]
Jae-hoon looks at the notification and he says, "What the fuck? That's the worst fucking timing ever."
Suddenly the elemental dragon that's alone sees him and immediately rushes at him.
Jae-hoon looks at the dragon running at him and turns around to run. "Shit! Shit! Shit! Worst timing ever! Worst fucking timing ever!" he cursed under his breath.
He keeps running before the dragon fires a fireball at him. He barely manages to dodge and keeps running. "That's just worse! Fuck! It can spit flames?! I'm not fucking fighting this motherfucker!" he cursed at the fact that the dragon can spit fireballs. The dragon then flaps its wings to fly.
Before he can go far, the dragon who's behind him suddenly lands in front of him after flying to catch up. The dragon roars at him.
"Shit…. I guess I have no choice, do I?" he mumbles under his breath before summoning the Grimhowl Scythe.
The dragon prepares another fireball attack and aims it at Jae-hoon. Jae-hoon realizes what the dragon is doing and steps aside so the fireball misses. He then slashes the underside of the dragon's neck but it doesn't have any effects on it.
"Well, I'll be damned…." he curses under his breath.
Just as he finishes mumbling, the dragon launches another fireball at him and this time Jae-hoon barely dodge it. If he had been a little bit slower, the fireball would've hit him.
"That was so fucking close! If I were a bit slower, I would've been injured badly. I hate this already…" he complains.
While trying to come up with a plan, the Hunter's Eyes finally shows the weakness of the dragon. "What the fuck? It doesn't have any weakness or weak spots other than stabbing its heart? Through those tough ass scales?! This is insanity!"
The dragon charges uo another fireball and fires it at Jae-hoon. He reacts in time and dodge in time. "This motherfucker just won't stop spamming fireballs, will it?!" he curses under his breath.
When the dragon charges uo another fireball, Jae-hoon takes this chance to close the distance between him and the dragon. He jumps up to go on the back of the dragon. "Take this, you damn dragon!" he shouts before trying to stab through the scales of the dragon with the pointy side of the scythe but it doesn't go through. "Fuck! It didn't work! Why are you so freaking tough?!"
The dragon stops charging the fireball and turns its head slightly just to make sure its eyes can see where Jae-hoon is. The dragon then spreads its wings and takes off.
"Oh shit! This is not what I expected!" he shouts, perplexed at the sudden action of the dragon.
He then decides to cut off one of the dragon's wings to immobilize it. The dragon lets out a grieving roar.
Jae-hoon then jumps down from the back of the dragon and starts to make some distance. "This is annoying…. How can I defeat that dragon by stabbing its heart? Guess I have no choice. Allocate all available stat points to strength," he mumbles complaining about how he can defeat the dragon before allocating all of his available stat points to strength.
[Strength: 115 to 170]
"I should try my new Ice Magic. Glacier Grasp," Jae-hoon says as he casts a spell.
After he casted the spell, two hands made out of ice emerge from the ground and holds the dragon in place. Jae-hoon charges at the dragon and slash the dragon's head off clean.

"That spell was really useful. I think I overdid my own strength stats. I can kill the dragon in one slash. Well, it might not apply to all the other dragons," he says, a little bit surprised at how quick the fight ends but he just shrugs it off telling himself that it might not apply to all the other dragons. "For now, let's get in stealth mode."
The skill Moonlight Stealth activates and Jae-hoon goes invisible again.
"It's good that I could get stealth back. Without stealth, I don't feel safe at all," he mumbles under his breath.
He then continues walking down the lair to find an unsuspecting dragon who's all alone. As he wanders for a while, he can't find another alone dragon.
"Seriously there's none? How am I going to finish this quest at this rate? I'm hating this so much already," he complains in his mind, frustrated at the fact there's no easy target for him. "Guess I have no way other than charging in…."
"Might as well use this chance to test my Ice Magic," He says while locating one of the dragons flying and decides to cast his new ice spell. "Frozen Lance!" he yells
A lance made from ice appears and it flies towards the dragon and it hits the dragon right on the chest, instantly killing it.
[You have killed an Elemental Dragon (Nature)]
[Level 79]
[You have received ×12 Dragon Scales]
"Woah…. Is it that strong? I expect it to just land and deal a slight damage so I can finish it off with my scythe," he thinks in his mind, surprised at how strong the Frozen Lance spell is.
The other dragon nearby saw what happened and one of them roared to signal a warning of danger. All of the other dragons hear the roar and immediately change their behavior to a patrol behavior - cautious of the situation.
Jae-hoon sees this and he thinks in his mind, "I'll be fucked if they find me… I need to do something somehow…. But how?! That many dragons are not easy to kill!"
[Moonlight Stealth duration: 45 seconds left]
"Seriously?! 45 seconds?! I'm fucked!" he says in his head. "I need to take down at least one of them before the stealth ends! Frozen Lance."
He casts another Frozen Lance and it hits one of the dragons right in the head - instantly killing it.

"I should check the progress of the quest first," he mumbles and the system interface pops up.
[Dragons' Lair Conquest]
[Rank: SS]
[Description: You haven't done a daily quest for 6 days straight. This is a forced daily quest by the system. Kill all the dragons in this daily quest dungeon to clear it]
[Objective: Kill all 50 dragons]
[Progress: 13/50]
"Only 13?! I still have a long way to go. Fuck!" he curses in his mind - frustrated that he barely made any progress since the start.
[Moonlight Stealth duration: 27 seconds]
"What?! 27 seconds?! I need to find somewhere to hide!" he says in his mind before running off behind a rock to hide.
"That was a close call," he mumbles.
He then waits for the Moonlight Stealth to deactivate before thinking of his next move. While waiting he's wondering about the time on earth right now, "I wonder what time it is…. Oh yeah. Time moves differently in the daily quest dungeon. That's a relief."
[Moonlight Stealth has been dispersed]
[Cooldown: 65 seconds]
"That's settled. Now I need to think of a way to kill all of the dragons," he mumbles to himself. "I used a high ranking spell two times in a row. I wonder how much mana I have left."
[Mana:1980/4300]
"What the hell?! That took more than 2000 mana! Does it cost that much just to cast a high ranking spell?!" he curses in his mind.
Suddenly he remembers something - "Wait. I remembered I can exchange coins for stat points! I should do that now!" he mumbles - remembering about the stat points exchange. "Exchange 100 coins to stat points," - he mumbles.
[Are you sure to exchange 100 coins into 100 stat points?]
"Yes," - he answers.
[100 coins has been deducted from your balance]
[You have received 100 stat points]
"Before I allocate all the stats, maybe I should replenish my manan first," he says in his mind - deciding to replenish his mana first before allocating the stat points. "Buy one mana recovery potion," he says - buying a mana recovery potion.
[35 coins has been deducted from your balance]
[You have received one mana recovery potion]
He then takes out the mana recovery potion from his storage and drinks it.
[Mana:1989 to 4300 (max)]
"Alright now just to allocate them. Allocate all stat points to intelligence," he says - allocating all the stat points to intelligence.
[Intelligence: 105 to 205]
[Your mana has increased from 4300 to 6500]
[Your magic knowledge has been increased to 205% (max: 300%)]
[You have received additional buffs]
[Spell cooldown reduction by 50%]
[Damage increase by 150%]
"Woah! That's a lot of stuff! Cooldown reduction and damage buff?! Hell yeah!" he says in his mind - excited at the benefits he got from allocating the stat points into intelligence.
[Since you have unlocked two or more magic related buffs, you will receive the role 'Mage']
[You have received exp boost by 65%]
"What?! A new role? Hell yeah! And 65% exp boost?! I fucking love it!" he says in his mind - excited at what he gets from receiving a new role.
"Oh yeah. I can't sense any weakness with Hunter's Eyes passive. Do I need to increase a specific stat? If I need to do that, I can just exchange coins for stat points," he wonders about the Hunter's Eyes effects. "I should check it first. Hunter's Eyes passive description."
[Hunter's Eyes]
[Skill types: Passive]
[To increase the effectiveness of Hunter's Eyes, you need to increase the senses stat]
Jae-hoon reads the system interface before saying - "Huh. Senses, huh? Is my sense stat that low? Might as well check. Stats,"
[Level:47]
[Stats]
[Strength:170]
[Agility:85]
[Intelligence:205]
[Resilience:55]
[Senses:50]
[Stat points: 10]
"Woah! That's really low! And my resilience is also very low. I should upgrade both of them. 150 would probably be enough. I don't need to spend that much," he says - deciding to buy only 150 stat points only. "Exchange 150 coins into stat points. I also have extra 20 stat points which is nice."
[Are you sure to exchange 150 coins into 150 stat points?]
"Yes," he answers without hesitation.
[150 coins has been deducted from your balance]
[You have received 150 stat points]
"Alright. Now to allocate them. Let's do 50 on resilience," he says - allocating 50 stat points into resilience.
[Resilience:55 to 105]
[Your resistance to negative effects has been increased from 26% to 53%]
"Alright that's done. Now just allocate everything to senses," he says - allocating the rest if the stat points into senses.
[Senses:50 to 160]
[All of your sense has been heightened by 150%]
[Your skill Hunter's Eyes effectiveness has been increased]
[You can now locate weakness of stronger monsters]
"Done! Now I just need to kill all those remaining dragons," he says - satisfied before going back to try finding a way to kill all the remaining dragons.
"I can't just rely on my mana. I would run out of it at any point. One cast of Frozen Lance costs me 1160 mana. I can cast it about 5 times and that's it. It's not enough to kill all of the remaining dragons. Yeah let's not do that. It's a waste of mana. And I can miss as well," he says - calculating how many times he can cast Frozen Lance before deciding not to do it.
He thinks before coming up with an idea - "Oh yeah. What if I exchange stat points and allocate them into strength and agility? That's a great plan. Let's do it. Exchange 95 coins into stat points," he says - exchanging the coins into stat points.
[Are you sure to exchange 95 coins into 95 stat points?]
"Yes," he answers.
[95 coins has been deducted from your balance]
[You have received 95 stat points]
"Allocate 30 into strength and the rest into agility," he says - allocating the stat points into strength and agility.
[Strength:170 to 200]
[Due to your strength stat reaching 200, your durability will be increased by 150%]
[Agility:85 to 150]
[Due to your agility stat reaching 100, you will receive a new role]
[You have received the role 'Assassin']
[Your stealth related skills will be buffed by 200%]
[Your attack speed will be increased by 100%]
"Woah! That's a lot of buffs. I'm overpowered as heck now!" he says - feeling proud of himself. "Focus, Jae-hoon. Focus on the daily quest. I need to kill all those dragons right now or else I would be stuck in here," he says as he slapped himself to make sure he's in full focus mode.
Jae-hoon looks over the rock to see what the dragons are doing and it seems like they're still on full guard - not dropping their guards by a second.
"This will be a hard one…" he says in his mind - knowing the difficulty of killing the dragons when they're on their full guard. "Activate Moonlight Stealth," he says - activating Moonlight Stealth so he can ambush an unsuspecting dragon.
[Due to your "Assassin" role, your Moonlight Stealth skill has been buffed by 200%]
[Moonlight Stealth duration: 9 minutes]
"That's nice. Now, I need to just kill the dragons. Before that, Hunter's Eyes," he says in his mind before using Hunter's Eyes passive to find the dragons' weaknesses. "As expected. Just like before it still says the heart is their weakness. The only problem is I need to find where to hit it from to make them weak first before anything. Maybe I can just kill one if I ambush it. I need to try it at least," he thinks in his mind - feeling like he hits the same wall but he decides to go over the wall with a new plan - Breaking through the wall.
He started to jump over from gaps to gaps until he spotted some dragons. He then slowly approached one of the dragons and slash the head of the dragon and it went through a little bit deep but it's not enough to inflict serious damage. It still does a lot of damage. The dragon then roars, alerting nearby dragons for help.
Jae-hoon immediately stores his scythe in his inventory before taking it out again and steps back. "That's a problem…" he says, concerned about what's about to happen.
[Moonlight Stealth has been dispersed since you dealt damage]
[Effects 'Fear' failed to be applied to the enemy]
[Effects 'Bleeding' has been applied to the enemy]
"That's just great. Now I'm fucked," he curses because of the Moonlight Stealth skill dispersing.
Suddenly a horde of about 12 dragons or so arrives in front of him. The injured dragon looks at him with a hateful face. Suddenly, it charges up an ice breath and aims it at Jae-hoon before letting it out. Jae-hoon manages to react in time to dodge it barely. "Damn! That was close! That could freeze me to death if I'm not careful," he thinks in his head.
Suddenly one of the dragons rushes itself at Jae-hoon but he manages to react in time and slash one of its wings off. The dragon then lets out a roar of pain. The dragon crashed down into the bottom of the ravine.

"One down. Now the rest. This will be annoying," he says - annoyed by how many he needs to fight. "I need to stop acting tough. I'm totally scared right now! The dragon's can definitely kill me if they really have the intention to!" he says in his mind - hiding the fact that he's actually scared.
"This is the best time to use my new Fire Magic spell! Flame Reaver!" he says. Suddenly a blade made out of fire appears on top of him and it comes crashing down on the dragons - when it comes into contact with the ground, the blade explodes, instantly killing all of the dragons that were attacking him.

[You have leveled up nine times]
[You have received 45 stat points]
[You have unlocked spell 'Hellstorm Rain']
[You have unlocked spell 'Absolute Zero']
"That was a quick one. I leveled up nine times too and I unlocked two new spells. That's actually nice. But I bet I can't cast any of the new spells yet since it will cost a lot of mana. Might as well just use all of the available stat points for intelligence. Allocate all stat points to intelligence," he says - slightly surprised at how far the fight ends and he feels satisfied at what he got
[Intelligence: 205 to 255]
[Your mana has increased from 6500 to 7600]
[Your magic knowledge has been increased to 255% (max: 300%)]
"Almost there. A little bit more and I can max out my magic knowledge. That's actually really good if I can do that. I feel like I want to try something out…. Maybe later…. Nah. Let's do it now," he says - thinking of some random ideas before he jumps down to the bottom of the lair. "I hope my mana is enough," he says as he points his hand upwards. "Hellstorm Rain!" he says - casting the new spell 'Hellstorm Rain'. A ball of flame shoots up into the sky before exploding causing a heavy rain of fire. "Blizzard Veil," he then casts the Blizzard Veil spell to protect himself from the flames raining down.

[Progress: 40/50]
"15 kills?! That's craz-" he says excitedly. Before he could finish his words, he suddenly got a sharp headache. "Fuck! Did I run out of mana or something?! Fuck! Fuck! This headache is so fucking painful! Agh! Make it stop!" he says shouting
[Mana: 7600 to -650]
[Effects Mana Burnout has been inflicted]
[Warning!]
[Your health will be drained slowly if you don't replenish your mana quickly!]
[Effects duration:12 hours]
"What?! Minus?! How the fuck did I get that?! I know the Blizzard Veil costs as much as the freaking Inferno Wall which is 250 mana but the damn Hellstorm Rain costs 8000 mana?! That's fucking insanity!" he curses as the Blizzard Veil spell disperses. "Shop! Buy mana recovery potion! Now!" he shouts as the shop opens and he decides to buy a mana recovery potion and drinks it immediately to replenish his mana.
[35 coins has been deducted from your balance]
[Your mana has recovered 50% due to the effects of Mana Burnout]
Jae-hoon tries to make himself stand still but he can't do that because the headache is still there, just not as strong. "That fucking gamble is so risky. It would've cost my life if I would've acted late…." he says, relieved that he survived something that could be really dangerous. "That aside, I need 10 more kills to finish this stupid quest. Fuck this shit," he curses under his breath, still dizzy because of the headache.
Suddenly, he can hear distant roaring getting closer to him. It doesn't sound like it's only one. It sounds like it's coming from multiple different things. Suddenly there's something landing in front of him, crashing into the ground and following it are the other nine. Before the dust settles down, a roar can be heard from the dust and the dust clears itself because of the roar. As the dust settles, Jae-hoon spots a woman with the features of half dragon and half human.

"So you are the one who caused all that ruckus and killed most of the dragons here? Impressive for a human like you. I really don't like personally leaving my castle for such a trivial matter. Let's end this quickly. Go, my subordinates," she says with the voice of someone who's bothered and annoyed at the same time. She then commands her subordinates to attack him.
