The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Getting over his family\'s death and taking care of all the villagers took him close to 7 to 8 days. Only then he was able to start searching the forest. Rein was a very intelligent child and he understood that the sudden appearance of the goblins near their village was very unusual.

So he wanted to search for the reason why it happened.

After his awakening his brain had started working very well and because of one of his abilities he was able to understand most of the things better than a common person. That\'s why even as a small child, Rein was able to act like a little adult. So he searched the forest very carefully.

During his search he came across more goblins. But as this time he also had the support of his elements, he had a much easier time taking care of all the goblins. Then finally he found the source of the goblin outbreak.

Dungeons were of many types depending on many factors like their difficulty, their size, their environment or even the process of birth. It was a famous subject for researchers and scholars. And what Rein came across was the phenomenon of the birth of a brand new dungeon.

Most of the time when getting created, the dungeons did not release any monsters outside. But if the dungeon had a lot of weak monsters and the space inside the dungeon was not sufficient, then it was not uncommon for a new dungeon to periodically release a few monsters outside.

And that was exactly what happened.

This only happened to a small and weak dungeon and if even a low ranking adventurer came and killed some of the monsters living in the dungeon then it would not happen.

But unfortunately of the Hart village, before the adventurer guild could be notified, they had already perished in the hands of the goblin.

Since then Rein started to enter this new dungeon frequently. When he needed food then he would either return to the village or would hunt simple animals. And he did his best to understand his abilities while fighting the hordes of goblins inside this dungeon.

Like that, over a year passed. In the last year, Rein had improved tremendously. He now has a very good understanding of his abilities and magic. And due to his high intelligence and thinking capability, he was able to deduce and create a sword art that was very effective against goblins.

Now finally Rein was going to challenge the boss of the dungeon, which was a Goblin Champion. He could now easily defeat any number of goblins and even the stronger hob goblins were no match against him.

Goblin mages and goblin shamans were very troublesome opponents at first but after he was able to use his lightning magic from a distance, they also became easy opponents for him.

Even though goblins were the weakest type of monsters and even a copper or iron rank adventurer could easily take care of them, hob goblins were tough opponents that only a bronze rank or above could take care of safely.

As for goblin mages and shamans, even though bronze ranks could kill them it would be very tough for them so normally silver rank powerhouses took care of them.

And finally a Goblin Champion was the strongest kind of goblin. Only a Goblin king could surpass its power. But if a Goblin king did not have many followers then it would still be weaker than a Goblin Champion which was actually the case most of the time.

So a Goblin Champion was a formidable opponent that only a few gold ranks could defeat.

Obviously Rein at that time had no idea about it. His special ability gave him the power to understand anyone\'s basic strength and by using that he felt that his current abilities were not too far apart from the boss. So he wanted to test his theory by fighting it.

This battle lasted for very long but Rein was able to come out victorious. But in this battle he had lost his left arm and right eye so it was obviously not an easy battle. But he was still victorious and was able to clear his first dungeon at a very young age of only 5 almost 6.

His ability had given Rein some special understanding of this dungeon. Many dungeons had a secret gimmick that gave the conqueror better rewards if they were to meet a few special conditions. And Rein was able to know that this small dungeon also had such a special condition.

This dungeon that Rein conquered would be judged as the absolute weakest type of dungeon. But any reward given by the dungeon would still be more valuable than most of the things you could find in the outside world.

Having this instinctive understanding, Rein decided to fulfil this special condition which was to clear the whole dungeon in one try within a certain time limit.

But he was still not strong enough to fulfill this condition so he trained even more in the dungeon. Finally after one and half more years of hard work, he became strong enough to clear the whole dungeon in less than 3 hours and got a special one time reward.

Not only that but as he had expected this dungeon also got destroyed when the special condition was met. Rein was determined to fulfill this condition not only because of the special rewards but also because his ability told him that this dungeon would be destroyed after that.

As this place was responsible for the death of his family and friends, he was unwilling to let it exist. He was quite a vengeful guy deep down.

...

After the destruction of the dungeon, he had no more reason to stay in this place. So he decided to say goodbye to his birthplace and leave for a bigger town or city. He at least knew that clearing a dungeon was not an easy thing so he was quite strong.

And he also got a decent amount of money from this dungeon too, so he should not face any problem in a city if he was careful.

Before leaving he went back to the place where his village was and said goodbye to his parents and the rest of the villagers. Then he took the name of Rein Hart to remember this small village forever and left that place.

That\'s how the journey of this young man named Rein Hart began his journey when he was only just a little over 7 years old.
