Novel Bin Chapter 27 F-Class Gate : Nameless Grave
One day, in the early morning near the outskirts of the city, a patrolling team stumbled upon a new "F-class gate" that had not been cleared yet.
After assessing the situation, they quickly reported it to their superiors, and a hunter team was dispatched to clear the gate. The team successfully cleared the gate, and the gate disappeared immediately after.
The team did not come across any high-tier artifacts, elixirs, or skills, but instead, they discovered some advanced low-tier artifacts and remains of monsters.
Despite their lack of significant findings, the team did not suspect any foul play or miss anything crucial during their clearing of the gate. They deemed the mission successful and left the area.
However, there was one magical thing in the gate that has the power to make it boil - ['The Growth Elixir.']
At first glance, some might dismiss it as a low-class elixir that only aids in faster growth for individuals with low ranks. However, that is only partially true.
The version of the [Growth Elixir] Rain took during his training was a low-quality one that only worked for individuals under the D rank.
However, the advanced version of the [Growth Elixir] is available now and has a much broader scope.
It works for all individuals under the C rank and has an extended duration of one week, compared to the previous elixir that only worked for three days.
The power of the Growth Elixir is not to be underestimated. With its ability to enhance one's skills and abilities, it has become a highly prized possession in the fantasy world.
Warriors and adventurers would be willing to go to great lengths to obtain this elixir, and its scarcity has made it even more valuable.
Then you might think - the people who discovered the object might have fought over it or sold it. But this was not the case. In fact, the hunting team that stumbled upon it didn't even bother to take it.
They considered the object to have a foul smell and discarded it immediately, without even touching it.
However, their assumption that the object was not of great significance was incorrect as it turned out to be an item found in an undead monster-type gate, which would explain the putrid smell emanating from it.
In the given scenario, a reader posed a question to the author out of curiosity, asking about the contents of a bottle.
However, the author casually replied that the bottle contained an advanced version of the [Growth Elixir]. This response left the readers laughing at the stupidity of the hunter team.
In addition, this scenario gate was briefly mentioned in a newspaper article for only a few seconds, In the story scenes of the game.
Despite its brief mention, this gate was actually one of the most well-hidden secrets.
At that time, Rain was amazed by the readers who were able to notice and pick up on even the smallest details, such as the brief mention of the gate in the newspaper.
As Rain waited for the gate to open, he felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.
He had been planning this for some time, and now that the moment was finally here, he couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline.
He tried to calm himself and took a deep breath, reminding himself to stay focused.
After taking a short nap at the inn to recharge his energy, he left and traveled to the area in his space sprinter.
As he drove, he reviewed his plan in his head and tried to visualize every step he would take once he reached the gate.
He knew that this was a risky endeavor, but the reward was worth it.
Once he arrived at the location, he found a hidden spot far from the gate and used his Hawkeye to monitor the surroundings for any signs of movement.
He felt a sense of relief as he observed the area, knowing that he had found the perfect vantage point to remain undetected.
As he waited, he felt his nerves start to fray.
Every sound and movement made him jump, but he forced himself to remain calm and focused.
And then, he saw it. The gate started to open, and his heart leaped with excitement.
He knew that this was his chance, and he couldn't waste any time.
He sprinted towards the gate, his heart pounding in his chest.
He slipped inside, relieved that he had made it in unnoticed. He allowed himself a moment to catch his breath, knowing that the hard part was still ahead.
As soon as Rain entered the gate, he was struck by the eerie and unsettling atmosphere.
"This place gives me the creeps," he muttered to himself, his voice muffled by the face mask he had retrieved from his space ring.
The air was thick with the stench of decay and rot, making it difficult to breathe.
But Rain was okay as his mask also had the functions of a gas mask.
The darkness was almost impenetrable, but Rain was prepared.
He activated the night vision on his face mask and peered into the distance.
"There it is," he said under his breath, spotting the massive structure in the distance.
It was made of dark, rough stone that looked ancient and weathered as if it had been standing there for centuries.
Rain knew that this was his destination, the place where the boss monster resided.
The terrain inside the gate was desolate and barren, with no signs of life or vegetation.
"What a depressing place," Rain thought to himself as he navigated the rocky and uneven ground.
The jagged stones made it difficult to move, but he pushed on. "I can do this," he muttered to himself, determined to reach his goal.
The only signs of any animals or creatures were the occasional carrion birds circling overhead, ominously looking for their next meal.
"I have to be careful," Rain thought, aware that he could easily become the next victim if he let his guard down.
Rain tried to recall the details about the gate from the game. "Let's see," he muttered under his breath.
"The author didn't explain much about this gate, but he did mention that there are undead monsters and the boss monster is an E-class undead monster Dullahan.
It's supposed to be a challenging fight, but I think I'm ready for it."
Rain's heart started pounding in anticipation. He wanted to test out his new sword and the skills he had been honing for a long time.
He reached into his space ring and pulled out his new sword, which gleamed in the dim light.
With a deep breath, Rain unsheathed his new sword, Nandaka, and took a step forward.
He could see some undead monsters in the distance, their eyes glowing with an unnatural red light.
They stood motionless as if waiting for something or someone to approach them.
Rain's heart started to pound in anticipation.
He had spent countless hours training for this moment, and he was eager to put his skills to the test.
He couldn't help but wonder if his new sword would be enough to defeat the powerful boss monster.
As Rain approached the undead monsters, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread creeping up his spine.
"These things look even more terrifying in person," he thought to himself.
"But I can't let fear hold me back. I've trained for this, and I know what I have to do."
As he walked forward, he heard the shuffling of feet behind him.
Turning quickly, he saw a group of zombies lurching toward him.
Without hesitation, he raised his sword and charged toward them, his movements fluid and precise.
The zombies lunged at him with outstretched arms, but Rain was too fast for them.
With a quick flick of his wrist, he sliced through their flesh, sending their limbs flying in all directions.
The stench of rotting flesh filled his nostrils, but he pushed on, determined to clear out the monsters in this dungeon.
As he continued to move through the dungeon, he encountered a group of skeletons that rose from the ground.
Their bony fingers grasped for him, but Rain was quick to evade their attacks.
He used his sword to strike their bones, shattering them into pieces.
"But I have to crush skeleton skulls to kill them. It's very creepy," Rain remarked to himself.
Next, he faced a swarm of rats that rushed at him from all directions.
He swung his sword in wide arcs, cutting through the vermin with ease.
The rats squealed in terror as they met their end at the tip of his blade.
As he moved deeper into the dungeon, he faced even more terrifying creatures - bats that screeched and swooped down at him from the ceiling.
However, Rain killed the bats with ease using his Thunder Eagle skill.
He felt that his aim had also become more accurate since his mastery in Marksmanship was now at the Elementary level.
Soon, ghouls emerged from the shadows, their gnarled teeth bared in hunger. But Rain was undaunted.
He fought with all his might, his sword moving in a blur as he sliced through his enemies.
The undead monsters fell before him, one by one until the dungeon was almost empty.
Looking at these horrors made him feel like he was trapped in a horror game. "This is insane," he thought to himself.
Rain was grateful that he had a calm mind and was able to keep his cool.
He knew that any lapse in judgment could result in his demise.
"Looks like only Boss monster is left now." Rain thought as he looked at massive structure at little distance.
