Danmachi: I'm Leveling Up In The Dungeon

Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Fight Monsters And Upgrade



"Ding!! small Goblin was killed, get 5 Experience Points!!!"

"Ding!! small Goblin was killed, get 5 Experience Points!!!"

"Ding!! small Goblin was killed, get 5 Experience Points!!!"

"Ding!!..."

Aston's mind buzzed constantly, but his expression remained unchanged, fully focused on dealing with the remaining small goblins in front of him.

After a few minutes of killing them, he had time to look at these notifications.

"System, open the Atribute Panel!!!" After collecting the magic stones from the ground, Aston sat cross-legged and rested in silence.

Once he spoke, a virtual screen full of science fiction appeared before his eyes.

Aston is the only person who can see this virtual screen, no one else can see it at all.

Host: Aston Glycias

Level: 1

Abilities: None

Items: [Junior Blacksmith's Forge] Practical Long Sword, Practical Light Armor, Restoration Potion (10), 

Experience Bar: 25/100

"I can gain 5 experience points by killing a weak goblin."

"Another 15, and I can reach level 2."

"I wonder what improvements leveling up will bring." Aston thought as he looked at the Attribute panel on the virtual screen.

Aston is a transmigrator, and the virtual screen in front of him is his Golden Finger, the Game Upgrade System.

Aston's cheat is an upgrade system, more like a template without any instructions. He has to explore everything on his own.

So far, Aston has only figured out the upgrade function, the basic function of the system.

Basically, killing monsters to level up.

Every time you kill a monster, you gain experience points depending on the strength of the monster. The stronger the enemy, the more experience points Aston will gain.

Once the experience points are full, he can level up.

Once levelled up, his strength will naturally improve.

Besides, Aston doesn't know if this Golden Finger has any other functions.

He tested the system with everything he knew about online games, but it showed no reaction at all, thus he has no further information about his system.

All Aston expects from this Golden Finger is an upgrade.

It is a well-known fact that as the player's level increases, so do his attributes.

Even though this Attribute Panel cannot display detailed statistics, he can feel the changes after the upgrade.

Aston looks forward to the changes he will see after upgrading.

After a short rest, Aston stood up, brushed the dust off his pants, took a few steps, and resumed his killing expedition.

Of course, being a transmigrator, Aston's current world is not his original world.

This world is called "Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon?" It's from a Japanese comic adventure series.

He is now on the First Floor of a well-known dungeon in this world.

Today was his first visit to the dungeon. Those five small goblins were Aston's first kills.

Aston is actually a soul traveler. It can be said that he is both a native and transmigrator.

After traveling to this world, Aston became a half-elf baby born in an elf village outside of Orario. He was also an orphan. His father was unknown, but his mother, an elf, gave birth to him despite the dangers of labor.

Once Aston was born, she entrusted him to other elves in the village and passed away.

Fortunately, the elves in the village where Aston was born were all good elves. Aston's mother was the favorite of the village, so after Aston's mother died, all the elves loved and raised Aston together. Otherwise, Aston would have died long ago. 

Due to the mystical nature of his birth, Aston's memories before transmigration were completely sealed. It wasn't until a month ago, on his fifteenth birthday, that the seal was completely broken, allowing him to recall his past life memories.

Upon recalling his past life, understanding the nature of this world, and after careful consideration and discussions with his adopted family (the elves who raised him in the village), he came to Orario.

Initially, Aston's goal was to join the Loki Familia.

After all, the Loki Familia was very powerful, joining them is better than joining any other Familia.

Unfortunately, by the time Aston arrived at Orario, the Loki Familia had just finished its recruitment ceremony a week ago and would not be accepting new members for the next two months unless there were special circumstances.

Therefore, Aston could only settle for the Hestia Familia.

As for why he went down so many levels and chose a Hestia Familia that hadn't even been established yet, it was purely because Aston knew Hestia very well. He knew that Hestia treated her Familia members better than most main gods and was a very good choice.

As for other Familias, Aston never considered them from the beginning.

Coming to Orario, Loki Familia and Hestia Familia were his only choices from the beginning to the end.

However, whether it was a coincidence or something else, when Aston met Hestia, he found out that this person had recently been kicked out by Hephaestus who couldn't stand Hestia anymore.

Aston, who wanted to join a Familia, and Hestia, who wanted to create and develop a Familia, met on the second floor of an old man's bookstore which Hestia often visited, and they hit it off right away. The founding ceremony of the Hestia Familia was held in that building, officially establishing the Hestia Familia.

As soon as Aston became an official member of the Hestia Familia, his Golden Finger awakened.
