14 mc wants to face the golden frogs, low attack monsters but have great rewards when defeated. mc and luce discuss about the golden frog. mc places the role of defeating the frogs to luce. mc helps luce with her skillpoint allocation. mc and luce goes dungeon crawling while evading other monsters. their focus is the golden frog. mc planned it out in consideration of the golden frog rarity, they'd probably find one or two, in two days. mc tells luce if in case she feels something, she should just speak up. mc will listen. out of nowhere, luce spots a golden frog.
15 luce psyches herself up in order not fail. mc tells her it's alright if they fail in the first try. the duo sets out their plan. luce uses her new skills to get on the other end where the golden frog is and have the frog run straight to mc. mc uses his a skill to root the golden frog.

21 fortunately, luce has her acrobatic skills. she landed on the ceiling and goes for a second lucky strike. this time it hits. the fetus boss gets defeated. the two levels up a few times. mc is impressed with luce. mc went to luce and praised her. mc is glad to have her as his partner. they also acquired a new title. next are the loots, they got swords from the nutcrackers, and a skill book, intermediate wind magic, from the fetus boss. mc immediately hide it. mc is aware of the skill book trade ban and they might get in trouble if anyone else find they acquired one. after, the dungeon starts disappearing. mc and luce gets teleported outside. mc makes a quick account of the loots they gathered, it amounted to 60 million. luce gets into a shock.
22 meanwhile, luce's former party is having trouble, they can't get any loots without luce. when they got back in the guild, they find mc and luce being praised for the achievement they just accomplished. aiside from the loots mc and luce gathered and accounted, they will also be getting a reward for defeating the dungeon. they also get promoted to d rank. luce's former party saw all of this being given to mc and luce. klein immediately went to luce and begged her to return to their party. klein gets ignored. back to mc, mc and luce celebrates their achievement. luce is frugal with her order when she saw the price. mc had luce splurge. they have to celebrate. while at it, they do the loot and money distribution. the total money gained is 57 million, as per mc's and luce's share deal, 80 to 20. lice gets 47 million while mc gets 11 million. luce thought mc was joking back then, she did not want to accept it. mc argues its the standard thing in the game world. luce sees it differently.
23 in the end, the share distribution gets on hold. mc and luce went to the shattered grimoire hall, black market, to asess the items they found. mc wants to sell the loots and the skill boom they acquired. the shopkeep wants to haggle. luce is fine with the price the shopkeep gave. mc is not swayed. mc goes on a price battle with the shopkeep. luce interrupts the two, luce asks if they could trade all the loots and skill book they got for the skill book mc wanted. both mc and the shopkeep sees the advantage of luce's trade. the shopkeep is willing to accept luce's trade. mc wants to decline since by doing so, luce couldn't get her share. luce refuses mc. luce gets to decide. the deal gets settled. the shopkeep praised luce.

30 after gatherin intel in town, mc and lucr went to a dungeon in a woodland near lacorina. they are aiming for black steels. before they start the dungeon crawl, luce is showing a great deal of dependency towards mc. mc is always grateful for luce. the duo starts. the first monster they fight is a smiling geodude, boulder monsters with smiley face. mc takes the aggro and deals debuffs and pin. luce does the killing blow. it was easily manageable for them.
31 immediately after the first kill, they acquire a black steel dagger for luce and an earth magic crystal. mc wants to get 10 more. they needed money in order for them to get stronger. after, a group of four geodudes appear, one of them is a rare variant. they easily defeat the monsters. they leveled up, and the loots they acquired this time are ingot, a hammer, a sword for mc and a rune to equip on weapon slots. current amount of items accounted, 41 million gold. the duo continues. they need 6 more geodudes. in the distance and unknown to the duo, a new monster lurks.
32 the duo heard an ominous sound. mc suspects its a mythril golem. after thoroughly checking, mc's hunches were right. mc doubts if they could win vs the mythril if in case they face it. mc wants to retreat but his motto: high risk, high return is telling him otherwise. at the moment, mc is doubting whether they should risk it. suddenly, luce interrupts mc's thought and says they should fight the golem. if its with mc, luce believes they can do it. mc felt assured. they begin a plan to fight the golem. they set up the field where they will have an advantage. after discussing the battle plan with luce doing the most damage, the golem appears. the duo readies for the fight.
33 mc nd luce vs mythril golem. with them setting the area for the battle, the two are able to even out the difference with the power. mc can easily out maneuver the hard hits of the golem. luce gets a successful hit, the golems goes down to half hp.

36 mc and luce heads inside the boss room. the duo goes with their usual plan. mc takes the aggro, luce the damage dealing. the duo easily defeats the boss. suddenly, the dui notices something different from the slain boss. mc immediately tell luce to retreat. the boss suddenly stood up. luce gets thrown off. mc catches luce. the boss undergoes evolution. the boss goes phase 2.
37 boss monsters undergoing evolution is a rare occurence. and for a boss to evolve it must meet a lot of conditions. mc is having speculation that someone deliberately evolved the boss monster they are now facing. mc is having doubts. mc apologizes to luce for getting her in danger. mc did failed to anticipate an boss evolving. luce is hopeful. luce wants to do their usual tactic. mc tells that the evolved boss is way off the chart. luce would need 10 lucky strikes in order to finish the boss and that is if she's able to do all of it. mc can't easily block the attacks of the evolved boss. the boss suddenly attack. mc carries luce away from danger. it was a very close call. mc then formulated a plan but it will be very dangerous. mc asks luce if she's willing to try it out.
38 the duo does their usual tactic. mc throws luce behind the boss monster. luce's target is the monster's tail. mc takes the aggro. mc goes saiyan with his smoldering fang of madness skill.
39 mc kites the boss monster. when the boss monster charges up for a range attack, mc goes cqc. mc hits the boss and at the same time, luce deals a lucky strike on the boss monster's tail.

41 mc goes for an attack. the boss's stun state ends. the boss charges its long range attack and attacks mc. mc's shield catches the attack. mc is unfazed and continuea on. mc beheads the boss monster. the boss gets defeated. the duo leveled up.
42 mc once again apologizes to luce. luce says it was fine since they won. the two get a new title that increases their damage vs dungeon bosses. they acquired the boss magic stone. luce finds a rare loot drop from the boss, a poison dagger. luce is panickinh that they acquired something very expensive. mc calms luce down. back in lacorina, luce is paranoid because of the many loots they acquired during their single dungeon raid. the duo went to the lacorina branch adventurer guild to exchange the loots they got and mc wants to report his findings, only to a high ranking guild official or to the guild chief himself. the guild receptionists underestimates the duo. she sees them as countey bumpkins. mc then shows the loots they are exchanging. the receptionist immediately panic. mc got the money and had an appointment with the guild chief.
43 the duo gets to meet the guild chief, harlein. harlein's speculation of the duo is spot on, from the duo's dungeon knowledge and class confidence. herlein also speculates that mc is a noble from the rondalm town. mc did not want to falter. mc introduced themselves as adventurers. mc did not reveal he's a noble. harlein introduced herself as the guild chief and a noble. mc speculates that with her connection, it must be the reason how she guesses mc is a noble. mc is also having doubts and speculstes that it is the noble household of harlein that deliberately evolved the boss monster. with harlein being a guild chief, somethinf simple as hiding evidences and ordering hidden ans unnoticed quest can be easy. mc suspects it is harlein who evolved the boss monster. mc is having a hard time formulating what to say next.
44 mc thought that if harlein is truly the culprit, mc would just have to report what just had happened and nothing more. mc reports the boss evolved. harlein becomes distressed after hearing the report. mc thinks the chief is just acting. harlein and matilda, the receptionist discusses the serious matter of the evolved boss. mc is still unconvinced and that chief is just acting. the distress and panic with the guild chief seemed geniune. she wanted to hear the rest of the report, of adventurers who died and such. she also asked matilda to set up a quest for the subjugation of the evolved boss. mc continues his report amd says they, as a duo, already defeated the evolved boss. the guild chief is in a daze. mc's speculation for the chief is cleared, she is not to be blamed. the chief harlein ask matilda to fetch the magic stone from the evolved boss. matilda obeys and leaves. mc then continues his discussion of the evolved boss. harlein discloses an unverified report that the same occurence is also happening in the great forbidden forest. mc wants to inquire more but harlein can't answer more. harlein promises mc that she will look into it along with the guild and her ties from her noble family. harlein says her thanks for the duo's report and achievement. matilda enters the chiefs room with the big magic stone.
45 the two continue their discussion about the evolved boss. they didn't gain much info. after, the duo gained the trust of the guild chief. mc and luce gets promoted to b rank. mc's speculates in exchange for getting a promotion, the guild chief would ask them a favor. mc's speculation this time, is not incorrect. the duo declines to do the favor but even so they still got promoted. next up, is the gear up for the two. luce gets to keep the evolve boss poison dagger. luce is showing a very cute down to earth side of her. they look for a blacksmith to forge mc's equipments. they spend half a day trying to find a good one. finally they found one. the meet the blacksmith berga. he's having trouble with a mage swordmans adventurer. mc did not like the attitude of berga and wants to leave. berga insist on the duo to follow him. berga gives good advice to the duo. mc already knows about it. mc then asks berga if he could make a weapon for him. berga at first felt high and that nothing that mc would say could make him want to makr mc a weapon. mc shows a mythril ingot to berga. berga is amazed but is still unconvinced. mc tells berga that the mythril ingot is from a golem they defeated and that both of them are b rank. berga finally changes his mind. berga will be making mc's equipment as well embedding the rune they got on mc's sword. they paid berga for the commission and left. mc and luce goes sight seeing in the lacorina town. a few hours later, the duo went back to check on berga. when they got near berga's place, they hear a commotion. someone is looking to buy the weapon mc commission. mc and luce enters, they find a chibi warrior.
46 the warrior introduced herself as hilde, a disciple of the a rank black flame blade. she demand mc to her sell the sword berga made. mc refused. hilde launches a feint attack to threaten mc. mc easily evades the attack. hilde demands for mc to duel with her for the sword. if hilde win, she get the sword, if mc win hilde will pay mc the full market value of the sword berga made. mc accepts the duel. hilde fetches a guild staff as a witness of their duel. meanwhile, mc prepares for the battle, mc uses his skill to bring down his current hp. berga notices it. mc says its part of his plan. mc discusses his plans for the duel with luce. mc is going all out at the beginning of the match. mc is mad at the rude hilde, he wants to teach her a lesson. after, hilde returns with a guild staff, it was matilda the guild receptionist.

52 celt notices the unbelievable drop rate they've been having. he also notices that maybell is deliberately outcasting him. celt asks maybell to be nice to him. maybell lashed out and says she's a healer and she's supposed to get treated well. it seems healers had it rough when it comes to adventuring. the celt group continue with their exploration. celt wants to let go of one of their objective, monster subjugation and just head to the meeting location. although mc wants to disagree, with the additional argument of maybell, it would be safer for them to go earlier to the meeting spot. they took a shorter route. they got lost. they enter a room full of skulls. mc thought that it was their leader's entire fault but it the info they got were also unreliable. mc is having a bad feeling of them staying in the skull room.

67 luce also want to dungeon crawl the rare dungeon. mc invites celt. celt declines, it is too much for him. maybell the priest, also has her own party. mc and luce goes on a duo dungeon crawl. they went to the tower of mythical beasts. because of its condition closing if certain number of monsters are defeated, regardless of the boss getting defeated and the fact that the guild is keeping it secret as well as letting it be open, mc is expecting there to be a competition. the duo enters the tower of mythical beasts. the duo's target is a reaper monster that drops the assassin's reaper skill book. it's like the smoldering fang of madness skill but for jesters. it relies heavily on luck. something luce is greatly blessed with her skill. they will not be diving too much and would retreat in case something dangerous comes up. the duo starts their hunt.
68 the explored the dungeon. they evade monsters and only fight when its necessary. after a while, the find the reaper monster. they managed to defear it thanks to mc's knowledge. unfortunately, the reaper only dropped a scythe weapon, it costs 15 million. luce is sulking for not getting the skillbook. mc encourages luce.

71 isabella takes the initiative. mc blocks. isabella launches a series of attacks. mc easily blocks and counters. isabella wants to go all out. snow haultodd stops isabella. snow haultodd acknowledges the strength of the duo.
72 mc's realizes the rumor regarding snow haultodd as rude and arrognace are lies. isabella has to accept her defeat. the noble let mc and luce continue their hunt. snow had isabella ask mc's name. mc introduced himself. they recognized mc's name as one of the member of kalos's raid party. snow tries speaking but she ended up exhausting herself, she is extremely shy. they went their separate ways. mc and luce continue their hunt. for their fourth one, they still have no luck with the skill book. mc notices they can only hunt one more with what hp and mp and supplies they have left. mc is thinking of leaving the dungeon, getting a rest and returning but with the rumor getting spread, it may not only be them and the noble snow haultodd's party who are currently in the dungeon. the duo discussed of what to do next. suddenly, mc something from far off.

77 luce asks mc how to use the book. mc tells her what to dom mc then tells luce what to do with her skill allocation. she puts all her skill points to the reaper's assassin skill tree. luce acquired the needed skill. mc stands up to continue the battle vs the boss. mc takes the command and says they continue what they're doing but this time it will be ending sooner. mc and isabella will be the vanguards, snow will continue her long range attacks and luce will be the main dps. isabella uses her skill to stagger the boss. mc enters cqc to aggro the boss. mc made a mistake. snow launches an attack to protect mc. again, with another opening, luce launches a new skill. it hits the boss

79 luce gets thrown off. snow catches luce with her ice magic. luce launches her new skill vs the boss. the boss starts to charge an attack magic. mc goes saiyan 1 and ran to the boss shadow to cast a root skill. the boss's focus gets disrupted. luce's attack hits. the boss fell on the ground. snow catches luce. the boss is still able to stand. with saiyan 1 still active, mc deals the killing blow. they defeated the bird boss.
80 isabella inquires mc about his skill. she was amaze at how powerful mc is. a dramatic and wholesome master servant scenario of isabella and snow. snow went to mc and luce to express her gratitude. mc says they were also a big help to them. snow says the boss is lured to kill her but the duo just got dragged. suddenly, luce spoke and expressed her gratitude towards snow and isabella. snow suddenly went back to her shy mode. snow retrested behind isabella. isabella inquires about the feats of mc and luce. the duo says they already defeated 4 dungeon boss. isabella counters they also defeated 3 dungeon bosses. after, isabella says that them defeating the tower dungeon boss would make it clear just how great snow is in the noble household. loot assessment time. luce found a wind imbued spear from the boss, 40 million. mc then asks how much the skill book luce got. isabella says they're good if the duo gives up on the boss spear. mc asks if thats an equal trade since the skill book is at 100 million. isabella says they also need proof that they have defeated the dungeon boss. mc and luce is fine with the trade. suddenly, snow spoke up and refuses the trade. snow says she hated adventuring and her doing so is just a mean to give her place a stand as a successor in their candidacy competition. but after seeing the duo, snow wants to try even harder in order to be truly recognized. isabella acknowledge's snow's determination to become a great heir to the haultodd household. isabella then asks mc if they could just sell the spear instead.
81 the four leaves the dungeon. snow and isabella discusses family matters regarding the succession and the assassination attempt. snow says such trouble never once happened within their household. isabella suggests that such order may not have come from within the haultodd heir candidates but from supporters. mc compares how the edvan family works and how the haultodd family works. the edvan nobility relies on strength of the head while the haultodd is much more complicated and internal conflicts happening are much intense. and with regards to what happen with the tower dungeon, mc sees a connection to the kalos's raid party dungeon, regarding the culprit leaving no visible trace or clue to who or where they are. but mc doubts his theory to be the truth since the current tower dungeon incident is lacking motif from the mean. mc voices out his concern that if in case the incident is actually an assassination attempt, it is likely they are being observed from a not far off placs but judging solely on their own senses, they are no traces if anyone else nearby besides themselves. isabella says the duo need not worry for them, the haultodd household will take care of their own problem on their own. isabella once again expresses her gratitude towards the duo. then snow speaks up. she expresses her amazement and gratitude towards the duo. mc respectfully accepted the praises. snow went back to her shy mode. meanwhile, in a castle hall elsewhere, a figure looms in the dark and spoke of not underestimating someone.
