10,000x Rebate System: Every Return Makes Me Stronger

Amon immediately reached behind his back and pulled out the battle axe, gripping it tightly in his right hand while keeping the short sword in his left.

The six monsters remained completely still for a moment, their dark shells reflecting the faint light coming from the crystals on the walls.

Suddenly, one of them moved.

Its long tail shot forward like a whip, the sharp end heading directly toward Amon’s chest.

Amon’s eyes widened as he quickly moved backward, barely avoiding the attack as the tail passed through the space where his body had been a moment earlier.

’Fuck, those tails are fast.’

He tried to take another step back, but his foot nearly slipped against the damp ground.

Amon’s body tilted dangerously for a moment before he managed to regain his balance.

’Fuck! Fuck!’

He had gotten used to fighting the slow Mana Snails, and apparently, his body had also forgotten that he wasn’t actually that athletic yet.

Amon took a deep breath and slowly began moving backward while keeping his eyes on the monsters.

The creatures, however, didn’t give him the opportunity to regain his position.

All six of them suddenly rushed toward him at the same time.

Their sharp legs scratched against the ground while their pincers opened and closed, and the sound of their clicking filled the narrow passage.

"Fuck me!"

Amon immediately turned around and started running.

The narrow passage was too dangerous for him to fight all six monsters at once, especially when he still wasn’t confident in his physical abilities.

The creatures chased after him, their bodies moving surprisingly quickly despite their strange appearance.

Amon glanced over his shoulder before raising his hand.

Mana immediately surged through his body and gathered around his palm.

A long spear of ice began forming in his hand as he continued running.

"Frost Spear!"

Amon suddenly turned around and threw the spear.

The frozen weapon shot through the air and struck one of the monsters directly in the chest.

The monster’s body immediately froze.

Its legs stopped moving while a thick layer of ice rapidly spread across its shell.

Amon’s eyes brightened slightly. ’It works.’

He immediately turned around and continued running.

The one thing he didn’t have to worry about was his mana.

His Mana Furnace was constantly absorbing the dense mana surrounding him, and even after using Frost Spear several times, Amon could barely feel the difference in his reserves.

’Then I’ll just keep doing this.’

He turned around again, and another Frost Spear appeared in his hand.

This time, he aimed for the monster closest to him.

The spear struck its body and froze it almost instantly.

Amon continued running while repeatedly turning around and throwing another spear whenever he had enough distance.

Within several minutes, all six creatures had been completely frozen.

Amon finally slowed down and stopped.

He bent forward slightly while taking several deep breaths.

"Haah... haah..."

His body was exhausted from running, but his mana remained almost completely intact.

Amon looked back toward the frozen monsters. ’This is much easier.’

He walked toward the first monster and raised his battle axe.

"Sorry about this."

Bang!

The thick shell cracked beneath the impact before the second strike completely shattered the creature’s body.

The monster immediately dissolved into refined mana, and a portion of that energy entered Amon’s body.

Amon felt his mana pathways becoming slightly stronger.

He moved toward the next monster.

One by one, he destroyed the frozen creatures using his axe, and before long, a familiar sensation suddenly spread through his body.

The energy inside his body surged violently.

His muscles became slightly stronger, his mana pathways expanded, and his entire body felt as though it had been washed by an invisible force.

[Level Up.]

[Level: 4]

Amon clenched his fist while enjoying the sensation. ’Every time I level up, my body gets better.’

The difference wasn’t enormous, but it was noticeable.

His movements felt slightly lighter, and even his breathing seemed easier.

Amon couldn’t help but smile. ’If I keep this up, my physical weakness will eventually disappear.’

He turned toward the remaining monsters and continued killing them.

When the final creature dissolved, something small dropped onto the ground.

Amon looked down and found a dark piece of scale lying among the remains.

He picked it up and activated [Merchant’s Divine Insight].

---

[Dark Carapace Scale]

[Grade: Common]

[Actual Value: 12 Silver Coins]

[Material Type: Armor Material]

[Effect: Can be used to create low-level defensive armor.]

[Additional Information: High physical durability.]

---

Amon nodded to himself. ’Not bad.’

Even if he couldn’t use the material himself, he could sell it later.

He placed the scale inside his bag before looking toward the dark passage ahead.

The remaining monsters were still hiding somewhere deeper inside.

Amon now understood how to deal with them.

He didn’t need to fight them directly.

As long as he maintained enough distance, he could simply use Frost Spear repeatedly until they were frozen.

’Hit and run.’ Amon smiled. ’Simple enough.’

He continued deeper into the dungeon, repeating the same tactic whenever he encountered another group of the strange scorpion-like monsters.

Whenever they rushed toward him, Amon ran.

Whenever he created enough distance, he turned around and fired another Frost Spear.

Once they were frozen, he returned with his axe and finished them one by one.

The tactic wasn’t particularly impressive, but it was extremely effective.

More importantly, it allowed Amon to fight monsters above his level without relying on his terrible physical abilities.

---

Three hours later, Amon stood in the middle of another large chamber.

The ground was covered with the remains of the strange creatures he had been fighting for the past several hours.

Amon lowered his battle axe after killing the final monster.

The creature dissolved into refined mana, and the familiar energy immediately flowed into his body.

Amon closed his eyes as the sensation came again.

His entire body became warm as the energy spread through his muscles and mana pathways.

Amon slowly clenched his fists as the corners of his mouth lifted.

’This feeling... It is addictive.’

He immediately opened his System.

Amon stared at the number for a few seconds before another notification appeared.

’Diamond-Grade item.’ He couldn’t stop the smile from appearing on his face. ’That was worth it.’

He didn’t immediately open the reward.

There was no point distracting himself while he was still inside the dungeon.

Amon placed the notification aside before looking toward the path ahead.

The environment had changed again.

The glowing plants had almost completely disappeared, and the walls were covered with dark cracks.

Far ahead, a strange white mist was slowly leaking through the end of the passage.

Amon stopped walking. ’That’s probably it.’

He could already feel a completely different pressure coming from the other side.

The monsters he had fought until now had been weak, but whatever was waiting ahead was clearly different.

The dungeon boss.

Amon slowly tightened his grip around the battle axe.

He checked the short sword at his waist before taking a deep breath.

Amon looked toward the white mist as he slowly walked forward until he reached the edge of the white mist.

Amon stopped for a moment and took one final deep breath.

"Maximum effort."

He stepped forward and walked directly into the white mist.
