Chapter 12
4rth day of exploring the forest.
"Your majesty there's something weird, on that place" lily said, pointing at the cave.
"Ohh, why?" fendrel looked at the cave, but he can't find anything weird about that cave. It's just a normal cave.
"The energy there is a little thicker"
"Let's see" fendrel concentrated to feel the energy.
"Lily"
"Yes, your majesty"
"I can't feel anything"
"Ehh, your majesty, you're terrible. How can you not feel any energy."
"Well, let's just go closer, to find out what is it." fendrel was telling the truth, he can't feel any energy. Although in the game the concept of energy was also implemented, you can control fighting energy in your body, at your will. You also need to draw mana and elements, in your surroundings to cast a spell. But you need to be at a certain level, to do that, and only mages can sense energy at any level. The game was really special, it felt like you are in a different world, rather than in a game. That's why conqueror, was really popular. Compared to other VR games.
"Let's be careful, there might be a beast hiding in there" fendrel warned lily, before continuing with vigilant.
After they were closed enough, there was no beast that comes out of the cave, to welcome them. But a familiar sound rang in his head.
[QUEST: CLEAR THE GRADE C DUNGEON
REWARD: 1000 GOLD COINS, 100 SUMMON SOLDIERS, 1 SUMMON SUBORDINATE]
'As far as I know, grade C dungeons in the game is still hard for the current me' Fendrel was not surprised, that there was a dungeon. From what he has seen so far, the world has the same rules, just like the game.
Fendrel was in dilemma, if the difficulty of the dungeon, were just like the game. Then he needs to consider if he wants to continue or not. He contemplated a bit, before making a decision. Fendrel looked at the rewards and gulped.
"Lily, whatever happens, you need to stay on my shoulder, okay?" Lily was only the size of a baby kitten. So It's not a problem, to let lily stay on his shoulder. Since he was pretty big.
"Okay, your majesty" Lily was confused, but she still lands on fendrel's shoulder.
Then fendrel began to walk inside, inside the cave, there's a glowing stone everywhere, lighting the dark cave. The area was a little spacious, compared to the entrance outside.
Fendrel continues, as he walked, he began to see some skeletons.
"Don't tell me, humans already explored this place? that's impossible though, I didn't even see humans exploring the outer area of the forest. Much less in this remote area." fendrel looked at the skeletons curiously.
When he's already in the middle of the first floor. The eye socket of the skeletons flickered, all the skeletons began to stand up, the clattering of bones will make anyone's hair stand up.
"Waahh, your majesty the skeletons are waking up" Lily was really scared.
"Hide inside of my shirt, and don't come out" Lily hurriedly hide inside of his shirt, although lily was fast and nimble. Its defense was non-existent, just one attack of these skeletons, was enough to make lily's life in danger.
"Come on, let us test my new sword" suddenly a big greatsword, materialize in the fendrel's hand.
Fendrel sprints to a nearby skeleton, and swings his sword.
The sword hit the skeleton's shoulder, it broke the shoulder, before flying into the air. All of his stats, got a 1% buff, from the weapon's ability, but he needs to kill 50 skeletons to get the 50% buff of the sword.
"Sharp weapon is really useless to skeletons" Fendrel instinctively dodged the arrow streaking at him.
"That was close" he looked around to find the one, who shoots him. It didn't take long, he found an archer skeleton in the distance, who's preparing to shoot another arrow.
Fendrel sprint towards the archer skeleton, there were some skeletons blocked her way, but he killed all of them. When fendrel arrived in front of the archer skeleton, he rise his greatsword high up. Then slash it downward with a great force, the skeleton's head broke. Its wisp eyes flickered, before extinguishing.
"I'm lucky, that these skeletons are dumb." The skeletons won't dodge, even if your sword was in front of their faces.
He looked at the remaining 20 skeletons, he catches a breath, before continuing his slaughter.
After half an hour, fendrel killed all the skeletons. He levels up to three levels, and lily levels up 2 levels. Even though lily didn't participate in the fight, The system still considered lily a party member.

Fendrel first wants to take a break, before going to the next floor. Lily crawled out of his shirt and looked at him with admiration.
"Your majesty, you're so cool. You killed all those skeletons." fendrel smile, and patted lily's head.
"Well, that's just natural" Fendrel's feeling good of herself, 'well it's not bad to brag sometimes'
"hehe" Lily just giggle, to his majesty's cockiness.
