" have you heard the Gorgon dungeon failed again".
" Yeah, even the top rising star of reaper guild, Aron almost died there ".
" I heard the squad would have been dead if it weren't for the return stones ".
" Gorgon dungeon is no joke afterall ".
" Yeah, even the world's strongest player can't beat it when he is level 80 ".
" Hah, if it's me it'll be a cake ".
" Pfft, who are you kidding? You're struggling to get to level 20. What is Level 80? Go home and dream".
There is noisy atmosphere around the dungeon gate that's swirling. It's like a portal, the mana fluctuations there is very abnormal. Kevin showed the ID and entered the dungeon.
" Be careful sir. The blood sucking bats there are no joke. A team will do good for this type of dungeon ", the soldier who is permitting entry said. Kevin nodded with a smile and entered the dungeon.
" Hey, see that roomie is entering without gear ".
" Damn, another cannon fodder. If only he joined our team and agreed to be the bait ".
" But he looks like he is confident ".
" Yeah, who are you kidding. He literally walked into a dungeon with a kitchen knife. Is there anything absrud than this. It's basically a suicide ".
As Kevin entered the dungeon, he only saw darkness. A cave, this a big cave for the bats to sleep. In distance he can also hear the bats. Kevin walked forward without a care. But when looked close one can see his eyes are shining a little. A basic application of mana, enhancing an organ with precise mana control.
[ You have fulfilled the conditions to obtain the skill - Night vision (E) ]
Kevin felt the night vision became more easy to use now. He frowned, what exactly is this system? In his world dungeons do exist. But the system didn't, everyone only adapted to mana and make progress in it. As Kevin moved forward suddenly from the ceiling blood red eyes started appearing.
The blood thirsty bats. Low level but deadly. once they stuck their fangs in you, they won't stop sucking out blood until one of you died. " I have been waiting ", suddenly arrows appeared around Kevin and they all pointed towards. Kevin launched them all at once towards the blood thirsty bats.
*scree* *crunch* *rip* *tear* *scree*

A basic light spell for a holy mage. He learned many light magic spells but now he can only these as his mana reserves aren't very high. The light arrows are nemesis to the bats, vampires and other night crawlers.
They fell down as Kevin frowned. He felt his mana reserves drying up. A seventh of his mana vanished just now for this one basic spell. Kevin looked at the bats and checked them then sighed. The drops are just mana stones and no skills. He is actually here for a skill that suits Gluttony better. Blood sucking, he just needs to place his palm on the creature to drain it's blood which in result decreases it's hp and stamina.
It synergises perfectly with Gluttony. He don't want to eat monsters like a savage. When Gluttony combines with blood sucking results in a unique effect. He doesn't need to eat the creature he just needs to place his hand while the creature will drained of it's essence.
In return he will receive a portion of it's power through Gluttony. This is way better than directly using Gluttony to eat. Kevin stayed in the place for a minute observing the surroundings and paths there. The cave has five paths and one entrance.
As Kevin looked at the paths he selected one randomly and moved on. More and more bats started to appear here. And Kevin used the light arrows to kill them and collect th drops like mana stone from them.

Kevin picked up a book that's dropped by the bat.
[ You picked a skill - Echolocation (E) ]
[ Do you wish to learn this skill? ]
[ Y/N ]
Kevin learned it, anyway this will be a useful skill when he has no mana. It uses only sounds and it's a skill that detects targets through the sonic waves when used. It increases perception too. As Kevin walked deep into the cave more and more monsters started appearing there. After killing nearly more than 400 bats in 2 hours. Kevin finally got what he wanted. He also got to level 7 in this hunt. It's because of these bats are similar levels with large numbers. So it's difficult to level up.
