[A safe zone has been established for five meters around the entrance.]
I glanced at the same type of message that appeared at Khufu’s hidden dungeon and looked around me.
“Huh…” The entire dungeon was covered in blobs that were crawling around the whole place. Slimes were monsters that were supposed to even weaker than the weakest orc grunt but these slimes were different than the slimes I knew about.
=[Giant Golden Slime]=
=[Giant Silver Slime]=
=[Giant Ash Slime]=
“Why the hell are they so big?” Normal slimes were small monsters. The biggest slime would only come up to a man’s knee at most and would only be half a meter wide. But these slimes in front of me were as tall as my chest and were around 3-4 meters wide.
Sure, their names made it obvious they weren’t normal slimes but they were just too big. Then, as I stood there, staring at them in amazement, another message popped up.
=[The Giant Slimes of Oosara Falls’ Hidden Dungeon have been born from a single body.
The only way to obtain the most EXP and items is to eliminate the Golden, Silver and Ash Slimes in order. You must eliminate all Golden Slimes before attacking Silver Slimes. (Should you attack a Silver Slime before eliminating all Golden Slimes, all of the Slimes in the hidden dungeon will become immune to all attacks.)
First Target
Giant Golden Slimes: Immune to all physical skill damage
Second Target
Giant Silver Slimes: Immune to all physical and magic skill damage. Also has extremely high DEF
Third Target
Giant Ash Slimes: Immune to all magic skill damage]
“What is this now?” I was getting all excited to see how these monsters would fare against my power and how much EXP they would yield but this message just completely blew me away. I had never seen such a strange hunting method before.
“If the Golden Slimes are immune to physical skill damage, then only magic skills will work and if Silver Slimes are immune to both physical and magic skill damage, then only normal attacks will work.” Only physical skill damage would work on the Ash Slimes, as well.
It basically meant that this dungeon required a well-rounded team or someone skilled enough to have physical and magic skills and high ATT to take out the Silver Slimes.
“This is quite funny,” I said to myself, smiling.
The weird hunting method did take me aback but that was all. Anyone else would probably swear at the message but it wasn’t a problem for me.
“Mana Conversion – Fire. Warrior’s Brave Spirit.”
[Mana Conversion – Fire Level 2 has been activated.]
[Warrior’s Brave Spirit has been activated.]
I had Mana Conversion with me and at Level 2 at that. “Fire for slimes.” Slimes had weak fire resistance so I would be able to inflict max damage against them.
“Alright. Let’s see how you guys do against this!” I headed for a horde of Golden Slimes and swung my spear.
I smiled as my spear sliced through one easily.
“Gwek!”
“What the! You guys can speak too?”
[The Giant Golden Slime is immune to your physical damage.
Your Level 2 Mana Conversion – Fire inflicts 5000-25,000 points of fire damage.]
“I guess that’ll do for now.”
The Golden Slime hopped over to me, croaking all the way but was so damn slow. I took a step back before stabbing out with my spear.
“Are they not sentient at all?” There were Silver and Ash Slimes around but they didn’t react as their golden counterparts died around them. “Well, that’s better for me.”
I took about five more steps back, stabbing at the Golden Slime as it came closer and once I killed it, its jelly-like body lost its solidness and melted into the ground. It didn’t dropan item or yielded a single EXP point.
“So these are set monsters.”
I turned to the Silver Slimes and attacked one. “Would you look at that?” The body of the Silver Slime provided much more resistance than that of the Golden Slime. However, my spear could still pierce through its body.
“Gwek!”
[The Giant Silver Slime is immune to your physical and magic skill damage.
The effects of Mana Conversion Level 2 do not work against Giant Silver Slimes.
The effects of Warrior’s Brave Spirit Level 1 do not work against Giant Silver Slimes.]
A different message appeared when I engaged the Silver Slime but this was much better for me. My entire fight style revolved around using powerful normal attacks. Most of my skills served to boost my normal attacks, anyway.
I slashed at the Silver Slime as it wriggled towards me. I actually managed to deal with it faster than I did with the Golden Slime.
“And then there was one.” I turned to an Ash Slime and attacked. My spear slashed through it as easily as it did with the Golden Slime.
“Gwek!”
“Can’t you guys make another sound?”
[The Giant Ash Slime is immune to all magic skill damage.
Only the 30% ATT damage boost of the Level 2 Mana Conversion skill works against the Giant Ash Slimes. All other effects do not work.]
Warrior’s Brave Spirit worked as it wasn’t a magic-class skill. “The 30% ATT boost is more than enough!”
The Ash Slime was even easier to deal with than the Silver Slime. I was able to clear up the rest of them fairly quickly.
[You have eliminated a Golden Slime, a Silver Slime and an Ash Slime in order.
Congratulations! You will receive 7x the EXP earned.]
[You have gained a level.]
“Huh?” The reward wasn’t normal, either. My jaw dropped at how much EXP I just earned. “Awesome!” I was worried that I wouldn’t get that much EXP since the Slimes and the hunting method were pretty easy to deal with.
“If it’s like this, then I’m going to stay here for all two months!”
I turned to the other slimes and I quickly cleaned them up in order.
[You have eliminated a Golden Slime, a Silver Slime and an Ash Slime in order.
Congratulations! You will receive 1 extra stat point.]
“What is this?” I had expected more EXP but I didn’t expect this good of a reward this time.
“This is one strange dungeon…” I said to myself before I pushed the thoughts away for later and rushed in at the Slimes. If I was going to get the most out of the next two months, I needed to move quickly.
[You have eliminated a Golden Slime, a Silver Slime and an Ash Slime in order.
Congratulations! You will receive 1 extra stat point.]
[Congratulations! You will receive 4x the EXP earned.]
:
:
[Congratulations! You will receive 12x the golden rings earned.]
[Congratulations! You have received a Giant Slime Nucleus.]
The rewards I would get after I would clear the dungeon of Slimes were completely random. “Gah! I don’t need golden rings; give me stat points!” I shouted at the message that came up when I killed the last Ash Slime but I quickly turned around and headed for a Golden Slime.
“Gwek!”

While Lee Jiwon was busy training in the Oosara Fall’s hidden dungeon, the three top guilds of India were meeting at a hotel in New Delhi. These guilds were the guilds that represented the top three castes of India.
The Sahtashwi Guild represented the Brahmins, highest caste. (Priests and scholars)
The Behi-Kinant Guild represented the Kshatriyas, the second highest caste. (Politicians, generals, etc)
The Lavi Guild represented the Vaishyas, the caste of the average and middle-class people. (Merchants, famers, artisans)
There was once a guild made up of the Shudra caste and that guild had grown quite large, with the intent to completely overturn the caste system and create an equal society. However, the Sunil Guild was quickly shut down by the three upper guilds through relentless harassing attacks, especially from the Sahtashwi and the Behi-Kinant Guilds.
People, in general, were the same. No matter how strong the person, lifting a one-ton boulder was impossible for anyone. As a result, people were divided by a person’s intellect, wisdom, and other invisible traits. But, what would happen if the lower masses had the equal opportunity to learn and better themselves? They would be on equal grounds with the upper classes. That was why the castes were established; to form a solid hierarchy that would not jeopardize the standings of the upper classes.
As the world became more modern, the caste system had lost its justification as more and more people became educated, and there had been a few places that stopped doing it altogether. However, that changed when the world changed. There were now people who could form fireballs in their hands and throw lightning from their fingertips. The top two castes had capitalized on this and drawn the line clearly once more and brought themselves even higher, closer to the gods.
Regardless of their past, the reason the three guilds had gathered here was simple: to discuss what to do with the random skill, Descendant of the God of Destruction, granted to a deva ‘untouchable’, and to kill the deva known as the Descendant of Shiva; to kill a god!
