The Pursuit Of Power - Volume 1 Chapter 8 Leviathan Dagger
< Quest Page >
– The best kind of Power is gained during Life and Death situations.
Goal:
– Kill the A-Rank Boss with the strength of a C-Rank Hunter.
– Cannot be aided by Beast (Chad)
Rewards /
– 1x Greater Lucky Spin
– Loot Box (A-Rank)
– 100 System Points
The rewards confused Yuuki as he had not come across either of the two so far.
{It’s expected you have not explored all of the features yet, as their names suggest, the Greater Lucky Spin and Loot Box are luck-based System items in which from the Lucky Spin you can receive anything, whilst the Loot Box is based upon what you killed. For example, if you killed a Snake Boss, it has a chance of dropping a Loot Box after its death. From the Loot Box, you can receive items related to the Boss such as a Fang or even a Dagger made from its Fang. Why don’t you use your complimentary Lucky Spin now?}
“Oh, right. Thanks for reminding me.” Yuuki maneuvered through the System and opened the shop.

“What the hell is this brick to be worth that much?”
Seeing the description, Yuuki’s jaw dropped.
Effects: One brick in hand can dominate the entire world, able to ignore all defensive capabilities. One hit on the head will 100% guarantee knockout for one minute, can repeatedly be used, not effective on other parts of the body.
Description: This is a violation of equivalent forging, a legendary weapon that should be impossible to craft.
Origin: Crafted by Lin Fan
“Who is this Lin Fan guy and why is this weapon in existence?”
{Oh, that guy seems familiar for some reason but I don’t remember why. That name reminds me of a monkey stealing a peach strangely.} Hina was also surprised that this item was in the shop and the name sent shivers down her spine. whilst in between Yuuki’s legs, he started shaking.
‘This Lin Fan must’ve been a legendary existence to make me feel pressure from just his name!’
Stopping his thoughts from wandering any longer, Yuuki put his palms together and prayed for good luck before he selected the free spin and awaited his reward.
In front of him, a spinning wheel appeared on a panel and all the parts of the wheel had a question mark which did not let him see what the available items were.
Slowly coming to a halt, the gray which hid the item retreated and showed an ice-blue dagger.
< Item Obtained >
[ Leviathan Dagger ] (A Rank)
Description: A dagger forged of a Fang from the Mythical Creature, the Leviathan.
Effects: 10% chance for a -Frozen- effect to be added to the enemy with every hit, slowing down the enemy’s speed and reducing their defense by 5% and 10% respectively. Coldness pierces the enemy with each hit and acc.u.mulates to turn enemy into an ice sculpture. Ice forms on the surface of the Dagger increasing attack range and power.
Stats: Attack is the sum of the Strength and Agility Stats of User.
Holding the dagger in his hand, Yuuki swung around the dagger and saw the sharpness easily slice through the air. Clenching his hand around the serpent-like handle, Yuuki was satisfied with this new Dagger as he was an Assassin Class so this dagger was the most perfect item he could have received.
{Ooh~ Nice dagger. Young Master has good luck~} Unknowingly, Hina had spoken in her sultry tone, and the addition of the new way she called him caused Yuuki’s heartstrings to again strum in a frenzy.
“D-don’t call me Young Master, just Yuuki is fine.” Patting his raging heart, Yuuki tried to calm down before looking at the dagger again and running his finger along the cold surface. Feeling cold invade his finger but not harm him, Yuuki played around with it and found he could not get cut by his weapon.
{Alright. Yuuki~}
“Uhm… okay then.” Not saying anything this time, Yuuki just mentally sighed before giving up at trying to change Hina’s way of speaking.
{Awww~ I’m sorry. You just look so cute when I tease you that I can’t help but do it…} Hina could see his thoughts as the System Administrator and long ago understood the problem he had with her tone but faked innocence to tease him for some longer.
Sighing, Yuuki began to laugh bitterly as he smiled wryly and shook his head.
{Why are you laughing?} Hina had the option to read Yuuki’s thoughts but did not do so as that would compromise the basic level of trust established between them.
“No reason.” Saying this before laughing again, Yuuki managed to make Hina curious.
{You can’t laugh without a reason. Tell me why-}
“-Ain’t nothing but a heaaartacheee!” Laughing raucously, Yuuki got the attention of Chad who saw his Master laughing and walked over to also wag his tail and replicate Yuuki’s behavior as he rolled over inside of the cave.
(Author’s Note: – If you did not get the joke I feel bad for you.)
Yuuki could not remember the last time he had acted so carelessly and when he finally stopped laughing, a smile was still plastered onto his face as he got up to start doing the daily quest.
“Hey, Hina. Thank you…”
{What did I do? Was it related to you laughing like a madman?}
“Yeah, I just felt all of the tension I was previously feeling disappear. I can’t remember the last time I was this happy. Looking back now, I see how stiff I was. Also, Hina, what is the highest rank I can easily defeat?”
{D-Rank. After that, the difficulty picks up proportionally as C Ranks are much harder to deal with, whilst B-Ranks is dangerous for you to encounter as you could be greatly harmed. A-Ranks are suicide targets for the current you.}
After completing the daily quest, Yuuki received the rewards and put the three stat points into his Intelligence, his Agility, and Perception, doing this brought his Intelligence and Perception to twenty whilst his Agility got to 15.
After allocating the points, Yuuki realized he had another 48 Unused Stat points and he worked out that after each level up, he gained six stat points. Not wanting to be unbalanced, Yuuki increased all of his stats to 20 excluding Charisma and then again added 10 points to Strength, Agility, and Vitality which left him with 11 unused Stat Points.
Closing the System, Yuuki turned around and with his enhanced perception was able to sense 11 presences outside of the cave.
