Change of POV: 3RD POV

Morgan looked at her watch.

2:10 PM

She got almost four hours before her Grandmother Elizabeth comes from work today. Chiefs rarely get a day off these days...

But anyway.

"Ikari-San, I'll be going to my room. I will go into my first Dungeon today, a very weak one though." Morgan turned around to look at her 'babysitter' or better 'playmate' than actual babysitter.

Ikari-San looked from the newspaper she was reading to cast a worried gaze at Morgan. " Are you sure? You are still too weak.." She paused." You, you might get hurt..."

Morgan showed a helpless smile. " Do not worry, I'm going into extremely week Dungeon, even for E-Rank. Because it's 'first' dungeon, it will only have 10 Goblins and no boss." Morgan explained as she took several steps forward before taking Ikari-San's hand in her own to re-assure her.

"Is it really not possible for me to come with you into the Dungeon.....?" 

Morgan shock her head. " Maybe in future it would be possible, but right now you are not allowed, no is allowed. So don't you worry, I'll finish it as soon as I can. " She sighed for a moment. " I brought countless potions too and strong weapon, I shouldn't have much problems against some Goblins."

Ikari-San couldn't help it anymore. She lunged forward before hugging Morgan with her entire face, especially pushing her 'bosom' into Morgan's face.

"Promise me..?"

Morgan tapped Ikari's shoulder slightly, a tap of re-assure, as she looked at her 'guard' like figure for first time ever with a wry smile.

"I promise." That was enough for Ikari to let go of Morgan, who cast another wry smile at her before walking towards the stairs.

~Clak, her sneakers sounded off as she walked upstairs.

Then she entered her room.

'Show me [Stats].' She ordered in her mind.

[Stats]

[Spells: None]

"I got 21 Stats Point. Where should I put them?" Morgan thought out loud, sure. She can put them all in Strength, but it would useless if she cannot react to Goblins. 

Or she can put them all in agility, but it would be useless if her attacks are not penetrating Goblins at all...

So, she decided to put 11 Points into Strength and 10 Into Agility, furthermore she will buy a spear, a poisonous spear no less. 

[Stats]

[Name: Morgan Le Fay]

[Title: Reincarnation of Morgan Le Fay ]

[Job: None]

[Level: 1]

[HP:100]

[MP: 10]

[Race: Human]

[Strength: 14]

"My agility and Strength [Stats] are already greater than Sung Jin-Woo's were when he got his [System]. " She mussed to herself before she CLOSED [System]'s screen.

Then she opened [Shop], then entered [Weapon-Section] and clicked on 'Search Tab'.

Yesterday when she searched through spears, she found something very interesting..

She searched [Kasaka's Venom Fang's Spear] Yeah, it's indeed a long name. It has same statistics as [Kasaka's Venom Fang] Dagger, but instead of being dagger it's a spear. 

It's poison is perfect for Low HP enemy like Goblins! Just one single 'prick' and it's game over.

[ [Kasaka's Venom Fang's Spear] C-Rank = 5,500]

[Description: A spear's pointy tip is made from Kasaka's Venomous Fang! Indeed a dangerous weapon! : Attack + 20, 1s/1% Drain.] [Expand].

As you noticed, it has Attack power lesser than 5 that Dagger has, but same effect. And it's price is larger by 500 Gold, it's all because of how big is it.

Morgan brought it, then took it from her [Inventory] and proceeded to rotate it in front of her, in her small and seemingly weak hands.

It's over 2 meters long. And it's light, as far as I know, average Human should have strength of 5-8 or something, and my strength is 14. I'm already strong enough to be E-Rank Hunter. 

"It's too light.." Morgan twirled it slightly before sending it back to inventory.

Morgan also brought 5 [Minor-Healing Potions], they are those long bottles with red liquid Sung Jin-Woo uses. 1 [Minor-Healing Potion] is 1k Gold, one day when 'Human Faction' get's larger and she summons some scientist and geniuses, they must try to replicate this Potion somehow.

That's a must in a long list of Musts!

And one weapon is enough, as a Hunter going into Dungeon it should be a must to have two weapons, that's something that a Blacksmith from 'Danmachi' would say.

So she brought [Kaska's Venom Fang] Dagger along with sheath as she clasped it on her hip, for her height, the dagger is more like a sword than dagger...

"[Inventory]" She muttered before searching for [Instance Dungeon: Goblin Lair] [E-Rank], and she found it.

[Instance Dungeon: Goblin Lair] [E-Rank]

[Description: It's a beginner-type Dungeon with maximum number of Goblins being 10! It does not have Boss! It's a type dungeon for [Player]'s first trial but beware! Even if it's the weakest E-Rank Dungeon ever, it still can cost [Player]'s life is she is not careful!]

"So how does it work? Do I get a key or something?" She muttered to herself, but then she clicked on it's icon in the inventory. And effect was instant!

A portal, a literal gate manifested in her bedroom, size of the gate is 'door' sized. A big enough that adult would be able to pass through barely.

A blue gate to be exact.

But when Morgan looked at Gate more intently, a [Stats] similar to [Hunter's Stats] manifested in her vision, showing Gate's statistics.

[Dungeon-Stats]

[Rank: Low-E]

[Number of Monsters: 10]

[Boss: None]

[Primary Monster: Goblin]

[Number of entries: 1]

[Difficulty: Even a stronger E-Rank Hunter could solo clear it!]

"I see, Number of entries would be how many people can enter it.. So I suppose that in future entire armies would be able to enter my Gates?" She told to herself before she remembered something.

"You all, guard this room and house as much as you can!" She ordered to her 'invincible guards' before she jumped straight into the Unknown E-Rank Gate!

-Inside E-RANK GATE-

When Morgan stepped into portal, she was transported into another dimension.

She looked at 'corridor' in front of her.

As expected of typical Dungeons from Solo Leveling, it's the usual cave-type Dungeon. 

'Corridor' is a cave 'halfway' she can see the end of the cave, with corner towards right side of the cave.

And on both sides, left and right sides of the cave are torches. Torches with blue-flames, giving out light to the dark cave.

But, she noticed one figure in front of her, about 10 meters away. 

It's the green ugly motherfucking Goblin, wearing nothing but tattered clothes. And it was not even wielding a weapon.

It didn't take the damn thing even a second to smell Morgan before it rapidly turned towards her position and sprinted towards her at it's maximum speed.

The thing about Goblins and their advantages would be their sizes and agility. But both of them are useless against Morgan who can easily track their movements and is even shorter than them, causing their flexibility useless in their current situation.

But, Morgan was already mentally prepared for this. Just when ugly thing was three meters from her, she abruptly pulled her [Kasaka's Venom Fang's Spear] from her inventory in point blank towards the Goblin.

Leaving it surprised and with no way to actually dodge her abrupt attack, why wouldn't such stupid creature be surprised by a weapon appearing out of air in front of it, in last second before it could even dodge?

"Gharg!" Effect was immediate, the moment [Kasaka's Venom Fang's Spear] pierced Goblin's skin, it was a game over for poor motherfucker. 1s/1% Drain was activated, paralyzing the retarded thing for a moment, and blood began pouring from it's mouth, eyes and nose.

But Morgan, as experienced Gamer certainly is not about to let such magnificent chance to go to waste, with one another simple strike, she struck Goblin's throat, prolonging Spear's Venom once more but this time it was final moment since it was fatal injury.

[< Morgan Le Fay> Eliminated Human-Class +]

[Gold Earned: 10]

[LEVEL UP!]

This actually surprised Morgan, she did not expect to LEVEL UP just after killing the Goblin, just one Goblin. So out of curiosity, she opened her [Stats] once more.

[Stats]

[Name: Morgan Le Fay]

"Nice! So every LEVEL UP boosts my ever 'statistic' by 1+ Stats Point. One LEVEL UP adds 100 HP to my HP, One stats point in Vitality adds 100 HP, and one point in Intelligence adds 10 MP." Morgan spoke, her voice contained excitement. " With my [Stealth] I'll be able to stay invincible for 20 second right now.

 One second in [Stealth] drains 1 MP per second.

"I see, I can clear Goblins one by one like this.." She though out loud. " I can lure them towards me, and then use [Stealth] last second and decimate them while they are confused, it might be dirty, but who cares. If I can abuse my [Shop] I certainly will!"

With her mind set in stone, she walked forward, her pace slow and deliberate, with guard staying on. Just in case if 'somehow' a Goblin jumps from the ground or from above, you never know..

~Thud,~ Thud~, her sneakers make little to no sound. But when she was at the corner, just about to turn around...

Two Goblins jumped from the corner, their bodies coated in leather armor, both wielding small daggers with maniacal grins on their faces.

Both ready and already anticipating their next victims death and suffering.

But... Morgan while still had guard on, was still inexperienced and thus somehow 'caught off guard' by sudden and brash appearance of these goblins.

They were fast, faster than the previous one. But Morgan was able to react in time, but not without 'scratches'.

She managed to avoid their blades, but one of the Goblins struck with their claw-like hands with black nails towards her in 'clawing' motion. It manged to scratch her in last second.

[-20 HP] 

Just barely a scratch, but it could have been way more serious if the other Goblin didn't kick Morgan towards the cave walls, this obviously caused other Goblin to become irritated as it 'screamed' or is it 'hissed' towards it's ally, causing both of them to start something like shouting match towards each other.

But back to Morgan.

She grunted, she felt the pain of sharp 'object' piercing her left arm at last moment and then felt a kick towards her stomach, she stood up from the dirt cave ground.

She looked at her left shoulder, her clothes she mentally prepared to be destroyed, the shirt's sleeve is not tattered in 'claw' sections, with blood dripping from them.

But she noticed it, she noticed that adrenaline and anger is keeping her from screaming, her mentality might be way holder than her body, but her body is young and unused for pain thus it's pain receptors are way weaker.

But she was the two Goblins bickering and screaming towards it's each other, she is not about to lose her precious chance to deliver killing blow to both of them at same time. 

But first..

She used [Stealth], thus completely disappearing from the Goblins vision and her smell disappearing too. But Goblins were too pre-occupied with screaming and punching each other to notice.

Next second, Morgan took one [Minor Healing Potion] from her [Inventory] before she drank and tossed the bottle back into [Inventory], it still might prove useful somehow..

She sprinted towards the Goblins, her [Stealth] allowing her footsteps to be 'unheard' by creatures like Goblins who only use their smell and vision to attack.

3 seconds passed since she used [Stealth]. 

On 4th second she was in front of both Goblins, and in one quick movement, she struck them. She pierced left Goblin's head with her spear, but pulled out [Kasaka's Venom Fang] in last second against the Goblin on her right, slicing it's throat open.

One got instant death, while second one got painful one.

[ Eliminated Human-Class +]

[Gold Earned: 10]

[ Eliminated Human-Class+]

[Gold Earned: 10] 

[LEVEL UP!]

Morgan grunted, she was honestly annoyed by [System]'s notification, there are periods of times when she would simply ignore [System[ or she would deactivate it's notification for killing enemies.

But right now, she only left 'her' notification to be alarmed from the [System], just so she can confirm if she truly killed the Goblins or they were just pretending..

Yeah, you might all you want, but she want to use her advantage to full while she can.

One simple glance at [Stats] showed her how much it increased.

"Three Goblins killed for now, seven remain..." She though. " Maybe I can level up once more, who knows.." With that she started walking once more, her MP is at 25 right now, she hast to save it up. LEVEL UP increased Intelligence after all by one point = 10 MP.

But she noticed something, she did not gain [Status Recovery] that Sung Jin-Woo gains after Leveling up, how did you think he healed his arms after fighting Cerberus, or how he regained his leg after Double Dungeon too. 

Anyway, Morgan continued her road. Not long after, she was another Goblin running towards her. This one also wearing leather armor and Dagger.

~Thick!

She struck with her spear towards the Goblin who leaped at her right side to avoid her direct hit and slashed at her, but she pulled her spear back and used it's handle to block it's attack.

But Goblin, as animal continued striking same spot on the speed in following several attacks before it suddenly leaped towards Morgan, surprising her for a moment before she used the 'back of her spear' to struck it's head since using it's tip would be too late.

Attack was good enough to send the Goblin flying towards the wall one meter away, but Mogan was not about to leave such good chance as she struck her spear towards it's neck.

It's 1s/1% drain activated.

And it took her about 15 more minutes to clear the Dungeon of remaining six Goblins.

And she leveled up once more because of it. Thus she is LEVEL: 4 right now.

But, after completing Dungeon 'raid' she completed a 'secret quest'.

[Quest: [Clear the Goblin Lair!] [E-Rank]

[Description: Eliminate all Goblins in the dungeon!]

[Progress: 10/10]

[Rewards: 1,000 Gold, [Instance Dungeon: Goblin Lair] [E-Rank]]

Morgan looked at another Goblin Dungeon she got from the [System] once more, but this time she might have idea what's going on here, so she checked it in her [Inventory] just after she was 'transported' from Cave Dungeon back into her bedroom.

[[Instance Dungeon: Goblin Lair] [E-Rank]

[Description: Another Dungeon populated by Goblins! Number of Monstes: 100!] [Allowed +1 D-Rank Hunter!]

"Ah, the old fashioned Gaming where difficulty somehow rises by ten times.." She grumbled under her breath..
