GENESYS

TWENTY THREE

Broodmother Lair

One of the dungeon players discovered on the outskirts of the city of the dead. As its name said, this dungeon is the home of Broodmother. A name boss monster who is believed to be over level 200. No one actually sees this monster in action, only knowing of its existence due to the dungeon's name, and the high ranking thief who manage to sneak all the way to the end. Unfortunately, the thief dies immediately due to the toxicity of the place before Broodmother can even make a move. 

Players actually deem conquering this dungeon as impossible and just give up. Not only does the monster in the dungeon drop almost nothing, but they also give little experience.

Leon walks inside the dungeon and is immediately welcomed by spiders the size of an arm. 

[Spiderling White Lv.???]

HP:10

Skill: Magic Immunity Lv.Max, ????, ????

The weakest of Broodmother offspring, usually treated as food by its much stronger sibling.

"s**t!" Seeing the fast approaching spider. Leon looks around to find some sort of weapon he can use. 

Leon spotted dozens of half-melted skeletons around him. OMG, how many players did these spiders kill?

In Genesys, the body of the player that died in the dungeon will not disappear as long as the dungeon isn't clear. 

Leon immediately grabs a rusty sword and a knife. 

Tossing a knife to one of the spiderlings. It immediately exploded and burst into purplish liquid. 

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

'Yes!' Leon immediately level up 5 times, even though this spiderling gives an abysmal amount of experience, they were still over level 100, and for a level one like Leon it was more than enough.

Plus they were super easy to kill as they were just food for the other spiderlings and has no attack power. Its primary means of attack is suicide, spilling blood poison to kill his victim. This was also the reason why there are so many half-melted skeletons inside the dungeon.

Leon put all his stats point to agility as he didn't need any strength or precision to deal with this spiderling; he just had to hit them crazily. 

"Die!Die!Die!" Leon swung his rusty sword like a lunatic ignoring the blood poison splashing all over him. 

[Congratulations! You learned Sword Mastery]

Sword mastery Lv. 43

Increase damage when using a sword type weapon.

Effect: Increased damage 48%  

'Who said being crazy ain't rewarding, hahaha.'

He didn't know how many times he swung his sword as he lost count of how many spiders he had killed. 

Eventually, his rusty sword cannot keep up anymore and melted. 

"I can't believe that this title enemy of the world is so op, even poisons that can melt metal cannot harm me at all, hahaha." Leon fell in love with the title he hated. If the fairy knows what Leon is thinking, he would vomit blood.

"Oh, there's a lot of spiders left. Ora!Ora!Ora!" Without his sword, Leon left with no choice but to use his fist instead. 

[Hand to hand combat Lv.15]

Increased the damage of attacks without using weapons.

Effect: Increase damage 20%

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

Killing so many spiderlings allows Leon to reach level 25. He didn't hesitate and put all his stat points to agility. 

'This feeling, I miss it so much.'  Now that his agility is more than 100, he can move more freely. It's like the mud that is weighing him down, got washed off.

'I wonder if I would be like Quickgold or the flasher if I put all my stats in agility.' Leon thought but he would never do it. He only did it so far because he needed to kill the spiders quickly. He knows that an imbalance character will lead to disaster, unlike normal games, Genesys like to mirror reality. Although agility is important so as the other stats. 

Leon is killing dozens of spiderling per second. There is now a pool of purple blood on his feet but even though he already killed more than 500 of this spiderling. There seems to be no end to them.

's**t, I'm getting tired, although they ain't doing s**t, there seems never-ending.' 

Seeing that he is tired. Leon just stopped attacking. If he dies he can just recreate his character again and be more careful next time.

After stopping, he quickly gets swarmed by the spiderling. 

"This works?" He said surprised. The spiderling all committed suicide in vain without causing Leon any damage. 

Bored, He starts walking around, looking if those generous players leave anything nice. 

"Trash! Trash! Trash!"

"What the hell you guys? You are all over level 100, why are your items so trash?"  Leon complained as he picked his 30th rusty sword. The truth is this sword is not really trash but because of the spiderling's poison and the power of time, they rust. 

"Oh! What's this?" Leon exclaimed in surprise. In the pool of blood, there is a purple book floating. If not for Leon really having nothing to do, he would not have noticed it. 

[Poison Blood] 

Passive.

Turn your blood into poison.

Effect: Poison resistance 1%

Damage per second 5

Note: The user also gets damage.

Requirement: None

"Oh this is new, I don't remember seeing this skill book before" Leon is not wrong, this is the first time this book ever dropped. As no player can survive the Broodmother Lair no one is hunting this spiderling plus although all monster drop skill books there is only .001% for it to drop. 

"Too bad it's useless, there is no way someone's stupid enough to learn this skill." This skill is really useless. It only causes 5 damage which is practically useless at a high level and a low-level player can't use it either as they would die in self poison. Most of all it was passive which is completely stupid.

"Better just learn it. I'm immune to poison anyway."

[Do you want to learn Poison Blood?]

"Ahhhhhh " As Leon said yes his body started to boil. Underneath his skin, his blood is turning purple. 

'The f*ck why did it hurt so much?' If Leon knows he would experience something like this, he would never learn this trashy skill.

…

In the white room, the fairy is watching Leon and was rolling on the floor while laughing. "Hahahahahaha so stupid, die in pain, stupid hahahahaha."

Wiping the tears in her face, the fairy thought 'You think you have outsmarted me. Hahahaha, let see you beg for death when Broodmother eats you alive.' 

The fairy really didn't care if Leon leveled up; he knew Leon would die eventually. He was just prolonging his suffering. The more Leon level up the more painful will be for him when he dies. 

Imagining Leon's hopeless face the fairy once again continues laughing.
