[Do you accept? Y/N]
"A legacy quest? What are those system?" Lilith asked as she was stalking a C-rank dungeon raid squad. She found it fun that they couldn't even sense her and she was standing right in front of them.
[Legacy quests are quests that take a long time to complete yet reap major rewards.]
"Of course I accept! It probably won't even take me a week to do, I can blow it off for now." Lilith pressed Y on the screen and continued her stalking. The captain of this raid team was a C-rank she didn't bother to learn the name of.
"Hey captain, is it me or is this dungeon oddly quiet?" The mage asked her captain as she faked a shiver. The captain laughed, "I'm sure it's because we haven't encountered the monsters yet."
"SKREEE!!" The screeches of goblins then echoed throughout the cave, "Speak of the devil!" The captain said as he used a taunt skill to aggro them onto him.
"It's go time." Lilith whispered as she watched them slaughter the goblins. She ran to the boss room and quickly knocked out the boss. She then dragged the giant hobgoblin somewhere hidden and waited for them to arrive. After around twenty minutes she felt them at the boss doors.

[Captain Kim's POV]
Once we were done killing the last goblin we arrived at the boss door.
"Captain, whatever is behind that door is…terrifying!" Hunter Yong, our mage, said with a real shiver this time. I can't lie I could feel the same presence she was talking about. Do we advance?
"I'm sure it can't be anything too bad, after all, this is a regular D-rank dungeon!" I laughed and opened the boss door. Immediately a powerful magic washed over my entire party.
"BLEGGHH!!" Hunter Yong vomited from the immense pressure, I-I could barely stand on my two feet. I looked behind me to see if a retreat was possible but the door was shut.
I looked at the boss and saw a woman. She had sickly pale skin, black hair, and these demonic red eyes. I subconsciously backed away in fear.
"C-Captain…" Hunter Kal our fighter spoke to me. I could barely hold my sword straight, we can't fight this monster!
"Are you going to approach?" She spoke…the monster spoke! She spoke Korean almost perfectly! This was supposed to be a regular D-rank dungeon but this monster in front of us was at least A-rank!
"No? Fine by me." Within an instant, she was in front of my party. The pressure she emitted only got more powerful I couldn't help but drop to my knees.
"Don't be boring now, get up and fight! If you don't fight…" She leaned in close and whispered into my ear, "You're going to die."
The life of my wife and son flashed before my eyes, I can't die here! I gathered my wits and swung my sword at her. She easily dodged and laughed, "Close, very close. Try again, all of you!"
Hunter Yong shot a fireball at her while Hunter Kal and Hunter Tae tried to flank her. She dodged the fireball and jumped over both of them. She then flipped in mid-air and crushed Hunter Kal's skull when she came back down.
His blood splattered on my face…my friend…died right in front of me. And there is nothing I can do about it!!
The demon had a sick smile on her face as she licked her hands, "Who would've thought human blood tastes so good?"
"YOU BASTARD!!" Hunter Tae charged her with his sword. I reached my hand out to stop him but it was too late, his head was removed from his body in an instant.
"I think this is the perfect opportunity to test my new skill." What is she talking about?
"Come forth." At her words a red pentagram formed above the corpses of my friends. Then their bodies began to move, their heads were replaced by a black shadow shaped like a knight helmet. What the hell is going on?!
Shadowy swords formed in their hands, "Kill them." At her command, my dead friends charged me and Hunter Yong.
*CLANG*
I clashed swords with Hunter Tae. This can't be real! The friend I've gone on countless raids with is now trying to kill me?! It can't be true!
"HUNTER TAE! PLEASE SNAP OUT OF IT!" I yelled but it was futile, he attacked me relentlessly. I dodged his wide swing and unfortunately cut my friend down. But not even a second later, his wound healed and he was back in fighting shape.
"Okay, this was a good test but it's a bit boring." The demon said as she called off her attack. I gripped my sword tightly, if I was going to die, in gonna die in a blaze of glory!!
I sprinted at her and used my [King's Roar] to try and aggro her to me. But it was futile…she caught my sword with her two fingers.
"[Hex: Curse of a thousand tons]." I felt my body become incredibly heavy and I crashed into the ground. I heard the screams of Hunter Yong and I used all my strength to lift my head.
The demon was holding her by her neck. Hunter Yong struggled but it was useless.
"You guys were a blast! But unfortunately, I'm getting bored." *CRACK*, she broke Hunter Yong's neck with ease. The demon tossed her aside and looked over at me.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you," she laughed and pointed at the hobgoblin who was incredibly angry, "he is."
Did she somehow knock the dungeon boss out just so she could torture us?! She waved her hand and then vanished from my sight.
"HEY! WAIT!! SAVE ME PLEASE!!"

[3rd Person POV]
Lilith heard the pleas of the captain but she couldn't care less. Something about inciting fear into a weaker being brought her great joy, bordering on pleasure. She watched as the hobgoblin crushed his upper body with its giant club.
"I didn't even level up from killing them, but I did get their souls." Lilith waved her hand and three white wispy orbs appeared. She ate one and her face became flushed.
"AMAZING!! THESE ARE THE MOST DELICIOUS THINGS I'VE EVER EATEN!" She exclaimed with a slight moan. She devoured the rest of them and got a system notification.
[Skill received: [Weak Fire Magic]]
"Oh, I guess I got that from that mage." Lilith said as she left the dungeon covertly.
"I wonder if I can still raise that guy I killed earlier, I have to somehow obtain his body…" Lilith swung her feet on the edge of the building she placed the pentagram. She got to thinking but dismissed it, "Eh, I could really care less about that guy anyway."
"I have S-rank's who wanna kill me I have to worry about. If I were to estimate my rank in this world I think I'm around A-rank. That's not too far from S-rank if I hit the Underworld dungeon I could definitely bridge that gap." Lilith brought the key into her hand and contemplated.
"I'll see where I stand among the weakest of them. From the very little research I conducted, I'm pretty sure that's Lim Tae-Gyu, he's a ranger. I'm pretty good in hand-to-hand combat and on top of my very lethal magic, he shouldn't stand a chance if catch him by surprise." Lilith put the key back into her inventory and used [Stealth] to traverse her way through Seoul. She quickly found the Fame Guild and just walked inside of the building unbeknownst to all of its employees.
She ran upstairs until she reached the top floor. She could sense that Lim Tae-Gyu was in his office. She strained her ears to hear what he was saying.
"Any luck on finding the monster that murdered Woo Jinchul?" Lim Tae-Gyu asked his employee, an A-rank hunter in her own right.
"No sir, but we may have a lead. A C-rank raid team hasn't returned from a D-rank dungeon. I'll give you more information as it comes out." She said with a bow before she walked out of the door. Once she stepped out she paused. She looked right at Lilith who rolled her eyes.
"[Hex: Curse of Silence], [Hex: Curse of Paralysis]." The hunter felt her voice vanish before she fell to the floor. Lilith caught her body so that she wouldn't make any noise.
"I'll take care of you later I promise," Lilith whispered to the fearful hunter. Lilith then equipped her grimoire and prepared for battle.
"Remember, close quarter combat and catch him off guard." Lilith whispered to herself. She also equipped her gauntlets and cursed them with rot.
*BOOM*
The door of Lim Tae-Gyu's office suddenly exploded putting him on guard. Black bolts of magic flew from the dust cloud and he dodged them with relative ease. More bolts fired destroying his office and creating more of a smoke screen.
"Ha!" Lim Tae-Gyu sprayed the office with purple arrows but nothing was hit. He could've sworn he saw a figure in the dust.
"Whose there?!" He yelled and he had five more arrows between his fingers, he then felt a strong magic behind him but once he turned around it was too late.
Lilith was outside his window with a fully powered [Mana Canon] ready to be fired.
"Shi-"
*BOOM*
The powerful bolt of mana ripped through his office and out of the other side of the building, annihilating everything in its path.
"Blegh!" Lim Tae-Gyu coughed up blood and looked at his wounds. The entire left side of his torso was gone. He heard footsteps and saw Lilith approaching him.
"Y-You must be that damned monster! I'LL KILL YOU!!" Tae-Gyu fired arrows at her but she dodged them with ease now that he's weakened. She stood over him and smiled, "Nothing personal, I simply killed the weakest out of you S-ranks. Now goodbye."
Lilith took his head off with a [Decaying Bolt]. She then gathered the his soul and the soul of the A-rank that was killed in the devastation.
"Maybe I should raise both of them." She stood over his body and used [Raise Undead] and she did the same for the A-rank hunter. She dismissed them and quickly left the scene.
