Leveling Dungeon

Ch.1-Prologist

In the darkness of the night, a 19-year-old man was praying for help.

"HELP ME!!!"

Zaizen, that's his nickname. He had yelled a few times as loud as he did but, he did not get any response even, his throat became hoarse because of too often screaming.

Plus, the man had just lost one of his legs as it was furthest into the deep Dungeon's fold and stuck to the side of the endless abyss.

Every time he moved, the pain would appear as shockingly as a thunderstorm bursting at his feet.

Whoever feels it, they will whine like a newborn but Zaizen has gone through it all until he gets used to the pain.

Now, the rest of his energy he gathered to buy time so that the angel of death did not pick him up too early - besides, the limit of his life is also left a few % only.

"I can't die here, as long as that bastard is alive, innocent people will be at risk of his life..." Zaizen spoke in a stark tone accompanied by a face full of emotions overflowing.

With the remnants of his strength, Zaizen tried to move his body and leaned his back against the chasm to simply rest.

His eyes were also set down the abyss to see how deep the abyss was but free, all he saw was bottomless darkness.

Another problem has arisen. After going through a phase of pain, Zaizen is faced with a situation that no one can avoid - the phase of hunger.

For Zaizen, overcoming hunger is more difficult than overcoming the painful phase of remembering, he can only survive a few days without eating and drinking.

"If only I still had some food in my Inventory, I could have lasted a little longer."

Krucuk' krucuk's'

Once again Zaizen's stomach rang, this time sounding louder than before.

Zaizen carried his stomach so loudly hoping, the voice disappeared, "Be quiet, damn stomach!"

However, the actions he took actually made things worse.

Zaizen eventually lost consciousness for a while after doing the crazy thing.

Time went by so fast that Zaizen finally regained consciousness.

As he slowly opened his eyes, Zaizen was shocked. Because, he saw the shadow of the angel of death that was in front of him.

Panicked, Zaizen widened his eyes to make sure that what he saw was not reality, but an illusion.

"Must. What was that?"

Right, it's an illusion. An illusion that will appear to anyone who is close to death.

"Aarrggghhhh!" A moment after, Zaizen felt an immense pain as if, the pain had exceeded the limits of his endurance.

"Will the process of death be this painful? If people knew that the process of death would be this painful, perhaps suicides on earth would drop dramatically!" A moment after Zaizen spoke, a holographic screen appeared near his head.

"No need for you to tell me, I also know that I'm starving!" Zaizen cursed annoyed when it remembered, his emotions were uncertain.

Immediately, Zaizen accessed his Inventory however, all he had was an empty potion bottle, in other words, Zaizen had nothing to eat.

"I thought I was destined to die rotting here..." Zaizen tried to think hard, he did not give up at the end of his life. In fact, something came through his mind.

"At a time like this, I even remembered a comic that was quite famous in my world. Yes, the comic tells a story of the survival struggle experienced by two humans trapped on an empty island. If it's not wrong, they eat one of their legs to survive. Shit, would I do something like that too?"

Five minutes passed.

Zaizen swallowed his saliva, he himself did not expect that he would start a crazy thing that only exists in comic stories that he had seen.

Because in his mind, Zaizen intended to cut off his leg and then eat it. After all, that was the only way that Zaizen could survive for longer.

With trembling hands, Zaizen pulled out a dagger that he had been keeping behind his pocket. Zaizen is currently betting on his life.

Whether what would wait after, Zaizen could not imagine.

Zaizen once again swallowed his tongue, as if trying to fight his fear on her.

"Is this enough? In addition, I have also tied my thigh with a cloth in anticipation if at any time there is an error that results in loss of a lot of blood. Aarrgggh.... If I had been more active in studying Biology when I was in High School, maybe I wouldn't be this sweet." murmured Zaizen then raised his dagger high.

There's only one answer. Alive or Dead. That's what Zaizen is thinking now.

"There's no other choice!" Zaizen began to jab his dagger with all his might hoping that everything would end so quickly.

Kingpin!

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

However ill-fated, Zaizen was too naive.

Zaizen did not expect that his dagger had not been able to cut his leg enough.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! IMPOSSIBLE IT DOESN'T WORK! THE DAGGER IS TOO BLUNT!!!" Zaizen shouted loudly, very loudly.

Now, time is running so slow that Zaizen is being punished for torturing himself.

However, Zaizen did not give up, he continued swinging his dagger until finally one of his legs was cut off.

"Finally.." a moment after speaking, Zaizen fell down slowly, losing consciousness.

"..."

Two days passed since Zaizen lost consciousness, he finally woke up again.

Slowly but surely, Zaizen opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was not a cut off his leg but rather, a hologram screen that had long appeared when he lost consciousness.

\=\=\=\=[Dungeon System]\=\=\=\=

You have passed a certain situation.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=[Congratulations]\=\=\=\=\=\=

You Get the Skill :

Cooldown: None

Advantages :

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Immediately, Zaizen's eyes widened as if in disbelief.

"What, a Regeneration Skill?"

Zaizen surprised. However, his surprise did not stop there but rather, he was again surprised by his limbs intact as before.

"My legs are Back!?"

Eagerly, Zaizen stood up. Zaizen thought that the events he was experiencing right now were a blessing from Heaven, but,

Zaizen is wrong, he does not realize that his new ability will bring himself through suffering like Hell.

Krucuk' krucuk's'

Zaizen's stomach rang again, even though he had obtained the Regeneration Skill still, the skill could not cure the effects of his hunger because, as it was, he could not heal his hunger, Zaizen also needed a Nutrient that would later be extracted within his body to become Mana and Mana was used to activate both Magic and Skill. That's the natural cycle.

"Even though I have obtained this pretty good Skill. I guess it's useless, since this Skill is useless to help hold back my hunger..." Zaizen spoke in a lethargic tone as if, the spirit he had just had instantly vanished out of nowhere.

"..." - ".Zaizen thought again. A moment later, Zaizen realized that he was being played by the Dungeon.

"Wait..wait.... THAT'S RIGHT!!!"

Yep. Zaizen realized that the food source was himself. In other words, there was nothing to eat there except his own body.
