Lumen inspected his gains from slaying the two rabid wolves and he noticed the stark difference in gains from hunting alone compared to hunting as a group of four.

He had levelled up twice just from fighting these 2 level 9 beasts, taking him up to level 7 and increasing his stats even more.

It was safe to say that if he were to come across another 2 level 9 rabid wolves, the fight would not be as difficult as the one he had just fought.

Just as he was thinking about such a thing, another rabid wolf came out of the shadows growling at him, completely oblivious to the massacre that had just occurred to two companions of it.

[Rabid Wolf - level 8]

This lone wolf was a level lower than the other two he had just slain, and although Lumen was a little annoyed at having to fight so soon after barely surviving against two level 9's, the beast was basically unknowingly handing him free experience so he wouldn't turn down having to kill another so soon.

This fight was way easier than the previous one as he offed the level 8 rabid wolf right away now that he knew how they fought. He had managed to kill it before it could even come within 2 metres of him with just one mana bolt to it's head.

Instead of dancing around with his spear trying to get a good hit in, he just decided to go for a quick decapitation strike with his mana bolt to conserve stamina.

[Ding! Killed level 8 Rabid Wolf.]

[Gained 3000 experience]

[Gained 800 credits]

His experience and credits went up once more from the kill, but he didn't see any more level ups from this as he now needed 8000 experience for a level up, and with the addition of that kill just now, he was only around 1500 experience from levelling up again.

The benefits of solo fighting beasts levels higher than one's own level are obvious.

Enjoying the rapid growth the dungeon provides, Lumen spent some time resting to regenerate his stamina and mana before he set off to explore the dungeon once more.

However while exploring, he had come across something he would have never expected to find in a dungeon filled with rabid wolves who seemed to only contain a semblance of intelligence.

[Bronze treasure chest (Uncommon) - A system created treasure chest containing goodies many times better than the basic equipment given out upon class awakening.]

This was the first time he had actually found something of value in the tutorial apart from the dungeon itself.

His inspection of the treasure chest only revealed it's basic details and not the details of what was inside.

'There seems to be some sort of barrier blocking him from probing inside the chest, probably some sort of system magic or whatever.'

Seeing as he couldn't check inside the chest without actually opening it, he without further ado went forward to open it.

Unlike the ominous barrier blocking inspection, it was relatively easy to open as there was no lock keeping it shut and the lid was easily lifted by Lumen to reveal what lay inside.

What lay inside was not something he had expected, but was very welcome anyway.

[Ring of Darden (Uncommon) - A ring crafted by D grade craftsman Darden gifted with the ability to grant the user an increase in mana as well as to slightly increase the potency of magic spells.

Effects: + 300 mana, +3% magic damage

Requirements: Magic type class, level 6]

This was the only item that was stored inside the large chest and it seemed almost comical that something the size of a human was used to store an item barely a few centimetres in size.

Lumen's attention was on the ring itself though, as this was perfect for him in his current state. His most lacking feature at the moment was his low amount of mana combined with the high cost of his magic skills.

Considering his combat style consisted of both physical and magical attacks, as well as the fact that his magic attacks were his most powerful attacks, it was almost fate that he found something that perfectly suited him.

Once he was done inspecting the ring and equipped it, he decided to look at the tutorial panel for the first time since entering the tutorial.

He had neglected using it up until this point as he didn't really think it would be useful to him but when he remembered that it displayed the time remaining until the end of the tutorial, he decided to make use of it by keeping track of the time he would have spent in the dungeon.

[Tutorial Panel

Time remaining: 57 days 3 hours

Total Survivors remaining: 12653/15000

Credits collected: 3862

Credits ranking: 260/12653]

Upon inspecting the tutorial panel for the first time, Lumen was quite surprised to see that it actually showed the total number of participants in this tutorial!

However when he saw that the number had dwindled by nearly 2500 in just 4 days, his mood soured as he was reminded that the worst danger in this tutorial weren't the beasts, but other humans.

It was a little after sunrise ever since he entered this place, he guessed that he had spent over 14 hours in the dungeon so far seeing that the timer was now at 3 hours until the 57th day starts, meaning it was near midnight now.

Considering that he planned on clearing the whole dungeon with plenty of time remaining in the tutorial to explore more of it, he decided to ramp up his hunting of the rabid wolves.

At his current pace and not knowing the total number of wolves in there, it could take him the whole duration before he even cleared it, assuming he could even defeat the boss.
