She screamed again and started walking toward me menacingly. I took a step back and hurled the baseball bat at her like a spear. It bounced off harmlessly. I turned and bolted out of the room, back into the corridor.
The ten-second cooldown on Fireball finally ended. I spun around and launched another one. The fireball hit her square in the torso. She let out a final, piercing scream before collapsing to the ground and dissolving into black dust.
I exhaled heavily, rubbing the sweat off my forehead with a shaky hand. "That was close..."
I moved to the second room, opened the door carefully, and stepped inside. There was nothing threatening, just a simple wooden chest in the center. I walked over and opened it, and would you look at that. Ten Dungeon Coins.
Nice.
I stepped back into the corridor and walked to the end. I pushed open the final door.

"Nice... That should level me up."
Two glowing options appeared in front of me. I’d earned a single attribute point, and the system wanted me to assign it. HP or MP. Since I could apparently respawn in this hellhole, I decided to pump up my magic. I selected MP and clicked confirm.

Now I was on the final stretch, Level 5-5. I let out a long, tired exhale and started walking down the narrow corridor. There were no more side rooms, just an endless stone hallway stretching into darkness. The dripping sound was louder here, and the air felt heavier. The system map was pletely useless, just showing a vague line.
After walking for what felt like thirty seconds through near-total blackness, the corridor finally opened up into a vast circular chamber. The massive double doors were already swung wide open, almost inviting me in. I hesitated for a second, then stepped forward, gripping the baseball bat tightly as I scanned the room.

The moment I read the name, dust began swirling violently from the ground in the center of the room. The particles gathered rapidly, forming a towering figure.
It was her, the purple-skinned succubus from before, but massively upgraded. She stood at least three meters tall, her body slightly glowing with dark purple energy. Her curves were even more exaggerated: enormous breasts, a tiny waist, and an absurdly huge ass. Her horns were longer, her claws sharper, and her eyes burned with malicious hunger.
Our eyes met.
She threw her head back and let out a deafening roar that shook the entire chamber. Her long, snake-like tongue lashed out like a whip, streaking toward me at blinding speed.
"HOLY SHIT!"
I barely managed to dive to the side, rolling across the cold stone floor as her tongue cracked against the ground where I’d been standing, leaving a small crater.
"No, no, no," I muttered, panic rising in my chest.
"My," the towering purple woman said, her voice heavily distorted and echoing through the chamber like multiple voices at once. "A visitor."
I didn’t hesitate. I quickly raised my hand and launched a Fireball. The flaming projectile streaked across the room and slammed into her massive chest.

Shit, that took a good amount of her HP, I thought, feeling a small spark of hope.
But before I could celebrate, her long tongue suddenly extended even further, whipping toward me like a living spear. It smashed into my chest with brutal force. The impact sent me flying backward. My back slammed hard into the stone wall, knocking the wind out of me as I dropped to the ground.
One big chunk of my HP disappeared.
I groaned in pain and forced myself back to my feet, but the giantess was already closing in. With just two enormous steps, she had crossed the distance between us, looming over me like a nightmare.
I turned and ran, sprinting across the circular chamber as fast as my legs could carry me. Ten seconds later, the cooldown finally ended. I glanced over my shoulder mid-run and fired another Fireball.
It struck her directly in the face.
══════════════════
Critical Hit!
══════════════════
Her HP bar crumbled straight to zero. The giant succubus let out one final, ear-piercing scream before her entire body dissolved into swirling black dust that scattered across the floor.
I exhaled sharply and dropped to my knees, pletely exhausted. "Man... I hope this is worth it... I really hope."

"And this was just a tutorial. Great," I muttered sarcastically, still trying to catch my breath.

Nice... I even got REAL experience points. The one I could in the real world.
Suddenly, I heard the loud creaking sound of a massive door opening somewhere behind me. I looked around and spotted the huge double doors at the far end of the chamber slowly swinging open, revealing a new pathway glowing with faint light.
With a tired groan, I pushed myself up off the ground, legs still shaking slightly. "Okay... let’s go."
I stepped through the doorway.
The moment I crossed the threshold, torches mounted along the stone walls burst to life one after another, filling the room with a warm orange glow.
It wasn’t another corridor.
It was a small shop.
A wooden counter stretched across the far side of the room, and behind it sat a young woman on a stool with a thick book resting in her lap. Shelves behind her were packed with sacks, wooden crates, potion bottles, rolled maps, and neatly arranged weapons. Everything looked worn but well cared for, as if she’d been running this place for years.
She couldn’t have been much taller than five feet. Long crimson hair spilled over her shoulders and reached nearly to her waist, framing a friendly face with bright amber eyes. She looked more like an ordinary merchant than someone living inside a dungeon.
She closed her book with a soft thud and smiled warmly. "Well, hello there. Look at you. You cleared the first level."
I blinked. "W-What?"
She rested her elbows on the counter. "You do know that was just the tutorial, right?"
"The tutorial?" I frowned. "Who... who are you?"
She placed a hand against her chest proudly. "I’m a trader."
Before I could ask anything else, a familiar blue window appeared before me.
