I open my eyes and stretch my full body while letting out a satisfying yawn.

Looking out the glass window across my living room down below my bedroom loft, I can see the mid-day sun shining into my glass-walled apartment.

Smiling, I hop down to the main floor and start getting dressed while staring out at the city...

Dungeon Diver CH195

“Let’s head upstairs, we’re pretty far down. This may take a while.”

Leo, the C-Class Legendary Grade Artificer looks at me with a kind smile while standing behind the open doors of the elevator.

I hesitantly look behind my shoulder, then back at him. He seems nice and is definitely from the Association, b...

Dungeon Diver CH194

I stare at myself in the mirror, then turn to see my reflection in 3 different angles. The first thing that comes to mind is the thought of someone staring back at me from the other side.

It may be an overly paranoid assumption, but it feels pretty reasonable to me right now.

The only break I get from the nauseati...

Dungeon Diver CH193

I stare down at the defeated High Orge at my feet, and a new blue text window fills my vision.

[Use Advanced Mana Manipulation]

Advanced Perk: [Temporary Minion]

Enter Desired Level: 0-422

[YES][NO]

I whisper under my breath.

“Mana Manipulation…?

I open my status, checking to conf...

Dungeon Diver CH192

I put on a smile as Rylan continues to hold his arm around my shoulder tightly. We walk over to the nearest wooden table being offered to us by the old cheerful Innkeeper.

“Sit down boys, it’s hot off the stove!”

Rylan releases me from his grip and takes a seat, I start to sit down as well and the old man co...

Dungeon Diver CH191

I take a deep breath of fresh air as I look out into the pale green dungeon and open up my link with Ember.

“It’s time we head back to the 10th floor.”

“Understood.”

Ember flaps his wings and glides down to the nearest pillar of smooth white stone below us.

With a careful step, I hop off his ...

Dungeon Diver CH190

My eyes shut and the feeling of weightlessness takes over my body. My senses go dark as I fall down to the floor.

The warm flames from the blast below envelope everything in sight and a grin creeps across my face as I pass out from extreme fatigue on the spot.

The only thoughts running through my mind as I plummet...

Dungeon Diver CH189

“Final Breath.”

I activate my newest skill and feel it start to take full effect.

This is the stat-boosting ability I witnessed the final boss on the 19th floor activate just moments before our battle was over.

It gave the monster an incredible boost in all stats and even its mana control.

I grit m...

Dungeon Diver CH188

Clenching my jaw, I burn through thousands of MP while using my perception skill to try and get a hint of vision through the thick red fog. All it’s giving me is a headache in return.

The dense mana barrier this beast has created is shrinking every time it lets out a shockwave, and it’s getting a bit too tight for c...

Dungeon Diver CH187

After launching my dual-bladed energy attack, and attempting to Dungeon Walk away, I stop mid-stride as the odd sensation of a dense dome of mana shielding covers the entire island that this fallen castle sits on.

The murderous roar of the Behemoth makes my head spin as it storms through the ball of flames from my previ...

Dungeon Diver CH186

The monster continues to grow before my eyes. It lets out a ground-shaking roar more powerful than any of its previous bellows. The sound waves that come out begin to crumble the stone walks and ceiling above.

I can feel the eerie sensation of mana begin to spread out into the air.

Broken pieces of support structu...

Dungeon Diver CH185

The full power of a Strengthening Fragment surges through my veins as I fall toward the approaching Stone Armored Floor Boss.

The warm sensation of dense mana fills my chest and starts pumping through my veins to fill my whole body with energy.

I stare down at my opponent with newfound hunger to kill.

Its le...

Dungeon Diver CH184

I point my blade at the approaching Stone Knight as it makes the floor ripple like liquid beneath its feet. The monster doesn’t make a sound as it draws near.

I finish regenerating my armor and wounded chest, checking my item storage for HP potions, but not reaching for one just yet. I’ve only lost 1/4 of my health,...

Dungeon Diver CH183

I glow red and gold while my blade burns crimson with a black aura leaking from its core.

My eyes are locked on the Stone Knight charging towards me, its dual blades for arms are covered in a thick red layer of mana shielding.

The aura of fog that filled the room earlier has condensed into a smaller form and seeps...

Dungeon Diver CH182

I hear words echo through my brain from the figure at the back of the room loud and clear, but I’m not sure I can believe what I’m hearing.

It speaks.

“Visitors don’t come here often... I never would have expected a Demon and a Dragon to show their faces in a place like this.”

I stop walking forwar...

Dungeon Diver CH181

Ember and I plunge through the smoke and fire, diving into the wide-open hole created by my final attack against the Silver Knights.

Although troublesome, I know the opponent lurking behind this wall will be a greater challenge than anything I’ve faced before.

I’m ready for battle.

Grinning ear to ear, a...

Dungeon Diver CH180

I stare down at the 4 Knights in shining armor before me. They each carry heavy shields and long silver swords.

The hum of mana fills the air as I track their power sources back to the ominous Iron door at the backside of the entrance hall.

It’s less than 30 meters away, and that familiar evil red aura seeps out...

Dungeon Diver CH179

I run past the pile of scrap metal on the floor that happened to be my last opponent and get ready to face off against the 3 suits of armor running my way.

With my All-Seeing Eye still active and burning MP like a furnace, the thin strands of mana above their heads look like glowing targets begging to be hit.

Usin...

Dungeon Diver CH178

Instantly, I teleport back in front of the stone archway that leads to the open courtyard in front of the castle.

Before stepping forward, I open up my item storage to grab my sword and let Ember fly free. He flaps his wings as I grip the already glowing red blade.

We both burst into flames.

I allow my MP st...

Dungeon Diver CH177

I stand in the middle of Bri’s upstairs office with my new Blood Bonded armor set on.

In less than a few seconds, It all magically tightens to fit me perfectly. My arms, legs, shoulder, chest, and back are all shielded by what seems to be a very strong metal.

It’s the same armor set the 19th-floor boss was wea...

Dungeon Diver CH176

As I step through the dungeon's exit portal, I activate my conceal skill.

I'm supposed to be in the Labyrinth right now as far as the Association is concerned. It'd be awfully suspicious if I showed my face around town.

Not many people know me in the big city, but if I'm spotted by even one person at the Associati...

Dungeon Diver CH175

Through the heavy Iron doors, I watch over two dozen 3-meter-tall suits of silver armor walk out.

They all seem to have humanoid-looking bodies, but there's no gaps in the armor at all. I can't see what their base forms look like. They carry silver swords and make loud metallic thuds of metal on stone with every step. 2023-06-24 22:56:52 +0000 UTC View Post

Dungeon Diver CH174

"This place seems familiar..."

I peer down the long narrow hallway at the grey spinning portal near the back edge. The place feels oddly similar to the small dark hallway that I crossed to get to the Boss room during the C-Class exams.

It's just like the Boss room portal at the top of the Labyrinth.

I open m...

Dungeon Diver CH173

The 6-meter tall menace stands before me bloodied and torn to shreds by my last attacks. It's missing an arm, has a wide open wound in its chest, and can't possibly be on more than 10% health after the avalanche of rock that fell on it from above.

A dim light glows around its right hand and torso. The fragments of sword...

Dungeon Diver CH172

I can feel the heat of Ember’s fire burning hot behind me as he tears the group of Berserker underlings limb from limb.

I’m faced off against the Boss. A 6m ball red-skinned Giant with armor that heals itself after being struck. This monster is even able to put out my advanced fire magic with its bare hands.

M...

Dungeon Diver CH171

In the blink of an eye, I'm back. I open up my item storage and use enemy detection to scan my surroundings. Ember flies out and stretches his wings.

"We're back."

I smirk.

"Indeed we are."

I've been climbing the Labyrinth floors for hours. Too many hours... but I can't let any more time be wasted. I h...

Dungeon Diver CH170

Rylan packs up all of our gear. Both of us ready our swords before walking deep into the 10th-floor dungeon.

He’s not my preferred travel companion.

I’d rather just Dungeon Walk up to floor 19 myself, but at least I know 7 floors up from here is the highest he’ll go.

With Fisher watching my every move,...

Dungeon Diver CH169

“What do you mean there’s been another change of plans? There’s always a change of plans… Ya know! I have a few things I want to talk about with you!”

I’ve been particularly irritable lately. Maybe it’s from the lack of mana, or just my time away from people and stimulation again. I know shouting at the Di...

Dungeon Diver CH168

I look up at Fisher while powering down my sword.

I’ve had a lot of time to think about my situation here in the labyrinth while I was away training in the Titan’s Domain.

When we first met, I was a bit annoyed with this blue-haired Elite for stepping on my toes during my solo labyrinth diving mission.

I...

Dungeon Diver CH167

I expand my enemy detection range further and further into the depths of The Great Plains Dungeon in a panic…

Just moments ago, there was another Titan not so far outside my Dungeon Walker’s range.

To me it was 10 days ago… so my memory is a bit foggy, but I’m sure I would have stayed in this one much long...
