Chapter 123: Unknown skill and New Title

Daichi quickly walked to the locked dungeon gate and inserted the key.

[You have reached the entrance to the dungeon - Hidden Mercenary Guild

Would you like to enter?] [Y/N]

"Yes yes. Let's get on with it."

The gates to the dungeon opened and Daichi entered without wasting time.

[The titles 'Dungeon Warrior' and 'Executioner' are now active.]

[All your stats are increased by 15% while inside the dungeon. All your stats will increase by 7% when fighting enemy ninjas.]

'When I was studying the history of the capital I came across a few mentions of a mercenary guild that operated here. They were prevalent before the time of ninja villages and their system So this dungeon must be created based on that long forgotten guild.'

In front of him was a large district with dozens and dozens of houses and a small castle could be seen at the back. 'Still It's a bit strange. I thought the level would be much higher but based on the color of the dungeon key the strongest opponent I would face here would only be 5 levels higher than me at most. Based on my stats alone there is no way I would lose.'

Daichi had been rigorously training everyday. He only slept the bare minimum and on the days when his grandfather wasn't home Daichi would even forgo sleep. But due to his great vitality and meditation techniques he would be able to perform his daily tasks without any problems.

He opened his status page and looked at the stats that had grown for the last several months due to his sheer hard work.

[Primary Stats]

Strength - 194

Vitality - 196

Dexterity - 147

Agility - 191

Intelligence - 141

Chakra - 288

Wisdom - 149

.

[Special Stats]

Sense - 98

Stamina - 179

Indomitable - 20

Charisma - 47

Persistence - 22

Dignity (LOCKED)

Luck (LOCKED)

All the stats that got a boost were due to Daichi's relentless hard work. On top of the weights he already had he would pick up giant rocks and complete several exercises. He would train until his body dropped to the ground. The increase in Strength, Vitality, Stamina and Agility stats were proof of that. Daichi's eyes then fell on the stat with the highest points.

'I would never be able to complete the quest of healing 10,000 patients without a large enough chakra reserve and stamina. It was as if the system was telling me to invest some points in the chakra stat. I put 50 points in the chakra stat and due to training in medical ninjutsu and lightning nature my CP was reduced to single digits every night, and this helped in increasing that stat even more. Tsunade has definitely noticed the increase in my reserves and kept pushing me. I had to heal at least 25 to 40 patients a day. Some of them would only have minor issues that would take a few minutes to heal but some would take almost an hour. And most days I would spend up to 15 hours at the hospital.'

Daichi looked at the dungeon with cautious eyes but he had a smile on his face.

'Thanks to the intensity of my training I was able to push myself. I had wondered if I would get another boost if my stats reached 200 But since my chakra stat didn't give any after reaching 200, I'm not hoping the others would. Maybe the next awakening is at 300 points. Whatever the case I need to increase my Sense stat to over a 100.'

[Quest Created - Destroy the Mercenary Guild.]

[Condition: Defeat the 300 enemies lurking through the district. ]

[Time limit : None. ]

[Rewards:]

35000 Exp.

Red Potion.

Daichi was currently hiding his presence, in the dark corner of a room and was looking at his next target with a critical gaze. The dungeon ninja was sitting in the middle of the room with both hands placed at his sides. It didn't seem as if the ninja sensed any enemy in the room. This enemy was of level 49. The highest level enemy he had seen so far.

Daichi controlled his breathing, and didn't let any emotions hinder him. He was as calm as he was when meditating. For Daichi it felt like an hour but only several minutes had passed.

The next instant Daichi was only a hair's length behind the enemy and slashed down. He cut his enemy's head off in a single clean swift move and during the entire instance there was no sound made other than the small sound of a sword swiftly severing a bone. It faded away just as quickly as it came. A fatal strike that took the enemy down in a single second.

The dungeon ninja turned into smoke before he realized what had even happened.

[Enemy killed.]

+500 Exp.

+75 Exp.

[Enemies killed: 284/300]

[You have killed 100 ninjas without letting them sense your presence.]

[You have acquired the title 'Assassin'.]

'Wow. A new title. Assassin huh. Alright!'

Daichi checked the details of the new title and was impressed.

[New title: Assassin: ]

[This title can only be triggered when you're in active stealth.]

[100% increase in potency when using Poisons. ]

[200% increase in Damage when using a dagger.]

[100% activation of 'Fated to Perish' when landing a critical strike on enemies of the same level or below.]

[75% activation of 'Fated to Perish' when landing a critical strike on enemies up to 5 levels above you.]

[50% activation of 'Fated to Perish' when landing a critical strike on enemies 6 to 10 levels above you.]

[10% activation of 'Fated to Perish' when landing a critical strike on enemies +10 levels above you.]

'Wow!... Fated to Perish What's that?'

[Fated to Perish: A one shot death skill that kills the enemy in an instant. The activation of this attack when facing higher level ninjas depends on the user's condition, attack weapon, the enemy's condition, level and defensive and resistance skills.]

Daichi's eyes widened as he read the details.

'Oh man that's one hell of an attack. Would definitely come in handy in the future. All that time stalking and painstakingly waiting for the enemy to let the guard down My efforts weren't in vain.'

Daichi had been hunting his enemies like this for the past several weeks. He sometimes had to hold back the urge to just fight like he normally does and punch and blast everything into pieces. But he resisted the temptations in the name of increasing his stealth skill. It was now at level 36.

But now after receiving the new title and looking at its effects he left the place with a happy smile and resumed his hunt.

There was no boss in this dungeon. It was just a mob of 40 to level 49 ninjas that roamed the place. Daichi quickly finished off his last enemy and completed the quest the very next day.

[Quest 'Destroy the Mercenary Guild' Completed.]

[Rewards:]

35000 Exp.

Red Potion.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have successfully defeated every enemy in this dungeon. You have been granted access to the return key.]

"Time to get the hell outta here."

After activating the return key at the dungeon entrance, Daichi vanished.
