Chapter 20 – Perception.

Chapter 20 – Perception.

I looked at my Stats and realized something was wrong. I need more perception. So far, I haven't been caught off guard by any monsters, but lacking perception is dangerous.

This status is something that doesn't exist in Danmachi. It will be very useful.

Speaking of which, I made the same mistake when I played as an assassin. I just put all my points into speed and nothing into perception or stealth. Most of the time, when I was attacked by surprise, I got killed.

I don't think I should make the same mistake here since I could die.

"Put 15 points into perception. Bringing it to 20 will improve my perception a lot."

[Your perception is now at 20!]

"Great. Put the rest of the points into agility."

[Your agility is now at 54!]

"I need to increase my Endurance a bit more. It isn't good right now. Now let's go out and see how people react to my new look."

I left my room feeling more confident than ever with my sword at my waist. I walked to the tower, feeling eyes on me, not just from women but also from some men.

I'm attracting more attention than I expected.

Now it's level 3.

The problem is that now the monsters are also stronger. The magic I'm using is stronger now, but I can't kill 4th-floor monsters with a single attack. But if I use two attacks, it's possible.

When I hit a goblin twice in the head, it died. Although using the sword is faster, it's useful.

And I learned to use magic to blind my enemies.

I found a group of three goblins and used my magic to create a black mist that covered their vision. The goblins started making strange sounds and panicking as they searched for me.

Since I could see, I could deal with them efficiently.

The goblins swung their wooden clubs randomly, even hitting each other. I approached each one from behind and used my knife to hit their heads, killing them all instantly.

I won't always be able to do this. It's cool to blind the monsters and kill them stealthily.

Oh, and my perception helps a lot with this. Now, I can sense monsters meters away, even with walls in the way. I have time to prepare for an attack.

I wasn't surprised by an attack even once on the 4th floor.

"But down there, there are monsters that are very good at catching adventurers by surprise. That's why I have to increase my perception more and more."

Now let's go to the 5th floor. I'm tired of hunting here. I even reached 50 experience points and gained one point.

My bag was full of items and magic stones.

After some time, I finally managed to reach the 5th floor. My first surprise was how beautiful the floor was, mostly because of the light green walls.

The dungeon's structure was also different. The "corridors" were bigger and felt a bit more humid.

I walked for a few minutes, looking for enemies, but only found a person's body. Yes, it's a person's body. It was a man. He wore light leather armor and had a sword in his hand.

He was near the passage to the 4th floor, so how come no one found him?

'He has a blade wound on his back. Was it a monster, or was it a person?' It's rare for people to kill each other inside the dungeon.

Was he alone?

I looked around while raising my senses to the maximum.

"There are some presences nearby."
