I get up with a grunt and a throbbing headache along with the sound of chains. When I look down, I have chains on both my arms and legs 'Looks like I was successfully reborn.' I thought to myself
"Get a move on slave! There is work that needs to get done" said the same guard from before, when I look at him on the other side of the cell to what I believe is the cell door open I decide to get moving cause I don't want him to get angry and besides I want to see where I am.
As I'm leaving the cell I notice a few other prisoners standing not that far from the cell from what I had to guess they are waiting for me and the guard, before I can see how many there are the guard was getting a little impatient for how slow I was "pick up the pace we are leaving now!" said the guard as he shoves me in line
'Tch, rude bastard' I inwardly growl as we started walking down to what I have to believe is some kind of cave system.
As we are walking down to the end of the cave, for what I have to believe is like a 5-10 minute walk, I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel, and when we get out I am momentary blinded by the light as it takes my eyes a moment to adjust, I see that we are in a small ravine or pit of some sort with multiple caves around it
"Move it" the guard grunts out as he shoves me with his hand holding the spear.
'Huh guess I have to stop looking at the scenery' I inwardly groaned. As I make my way down, I look at the other slaves working down in the center of the pit and from what I can see the men are digging/mining some type of mineral but it's hard to see what it is even with my enhanced senses.
I can also see the females pushing minecarts and sorting out the minerals on a table a little bit away from everyone but I see something concerning, most of the slaves/prisoners are malnourished to the point I can see their bones. Not only that but they barely have any clothing for the men they have a cloth around their waist that is tied with a rope and the females have what looks like potato sacks that covers most of their bodies with some using a rope being tied around their waists.
I look around, a small sneer on my face as I see multiple slaves working in the quarry. Surprisingly enough, a few levels read just over 10 or so from the slaves, the guards are closer to freaking twenties and higher.
My eyes kept drifting around before they widened, as a notice appeared in front of me.
Dungeon number 19:
Sallos.
Over 200 warriors have been sent into this dungeon, but none have survived or escaped. Since the establishment of the house of Cairn who took over the area, the dungeon is now used as a form of punishment for the most unruly slaves.
I stumble slightly, causing a few guards to cuss around me, though I ignored them completely. I just couldn't believe I would be right outside a dungeon right next to where I'm housed!
"Hey slave, if you don't hurry up and work, you will more than likely end up inside of Sallos over there." One guard approaches, his level, name and title startling me instantly.
Name: Durress Nain
Title: Captain of the Cairn Guards
Level: ?
HP: ?
SP: ?
MP: ?
I quickly begin to run through several ideas in my head all at once. Starting first and foremost with this:
OMG! OMG! This must mean that depending on my level I can't see other people's levels?! I need to find how much higher it is if I want to be able to pick and choose my battles.
You have gained +1 Int and +1 Wis for learning and acknowledging your own limits.
My eye twitches at the little blue panel in the corner of my eye as I stand back up fully, heading towards the main part of the mine.
"Slave! Get to work! If you have time to day dream you have time to get me 50 pounds of marble!"
New Mandatory Quest!
Get To Work, Slave!
Main Objective: Collect 50 pounds of Marble from mining.
Sub Objectives
100 pounds of Marble
125 pounds of Marble
150 pounds of Marble
Main Rewards: +300 EXP, 3 Rare Jewels
Sub Rewards
1.+400 extra EXP, 4 more Rare Jewels
2.+500 extra EXP, 5 more Rare Jewels
3.+600 extra EXP, 6 more Rare Jewels
'So we are mining marble, that's nice to know but I wonder what kind of rare jewels I am getting.' I thought as I made my way to a small stand that holds both pickaxes and shovels, 'At least they are kind enough to put them somewhere instead of leaving them on the floor.'
I thought to myself as I pick up a pickaxe and move to where there is a large chunk of marble that was about the size of a double decker bus,' Well fuck thats a big boy of a chunk, hopefully it's enough to full fill the quest and it's near the center of the pit that I might be to get some infromarion or gosip from the gaurds, and I can finally think to myself without a gaurd up my ass.'
"Now how hard is it to mine some marble, after all I seen my brothers play minecraft before" I whisper to myself while grabbing the pickaxe with two hands before swinging it over my head *clenk* the pickaxe hit the marble but only cause a small crack in it "dam this sucker is a lot more durable than I thought" I say as I prepare another swing but with more strength *clenk*crack* After my second swing a small chunk of marble fell.
1/50 pounds of Marble
1/100 pounds of Marble
1/125 pounds of Marble
1/150 pounds of Marble
'THANK FUCKING GOD I don't have to count all of this by myself, now I wonder what the guards are talking about maybe I can figure out what time point I was droped at.' I scream in my head as I start mining more marble while straining my ears hoping I hear something good, after about a good 2 minutes I hear two guards ingadge in a conversation "Hey do you think the Parthevia empire was able to catch him" said guard 1 to guard 2 "Catch who?" said the second guard with no idea who his friend is talking about.
"Why the kid who captured the first dungeon, who else can I mean? Can you believe it that a 14 year old kid was able to do something that not 10,000 soldiers could do" stated the first guard like there is nothing more exciting or going on to talk about.
"I don't know man, I mean it's been two mounths since he captured that dungeon, he might be dead by now cause, no one in their right mind will let a kid have all that power." Stated the second guard like he doesn't give a rat's ass about the world.
I blink a few times to myself, my mind once again racing with information and ideas. 'Then if that's the case Sinbad JUST started his journey. That means only a few things have happened so far. For starters, he only has Baal, and probably hasn't had the chance to meet Hinahoho just yet. If that's the case, I could possibly stop the destruction of the first kingdom of Sindria.' I then sigh and shake my head. 'No that's in 4 years. At best, I could join Sindria by then, but I wouldn't have any sway on the events. Hell, I'd only be 12 then. However, if I could make a name for myself, get stronger and a few Djinns, I could probably help Sinbad establish the Seven Seas Alliance.' I crack a stone as I get two menu notifications:
For thinking through on your options, gain +3 to both Int and Wis.
15/50 pounds of Marble
15/100 pounds of Marble
15/125 pounds of Marble
15/150 pounds of Marble
I scoff silently as I glare at the shards of Marble in front of me. This is going to take forever unless I can find the weaknesses of the stones.
… Will that work? "Observe."
New Skill created:
Observe (Active) Level 1 EXP: 10/100
With careful observation you are able to see things no one else can see with the naked eye (EX: small cracks in a wall, or when a person is lying by looking at their face, ect.) The higher the level will unlock more features/abilities, +50 EXP per observation.
"Oh sweet not only can I find weak points with this, I can also use it as a human lie detector" I said to myself before looking at the new skill again 'wait did it say more abilities as in more than one, that would make this skill a skill tree.'
I thought to myself with a smile creeping on my face of the different eye abilities just waiting to be unlocked ' I wonder if I will have the power to shoot laser eyes' before my mind starts to imagine me shooting laser eyes I stop it 'laser eyes LASER EYES, what the fuck am ** Well physically I am 8 but mentaly I am a grown ass man so screw laser eyes when I can try and hope to get the true gift of god and men and maybe a few females and that is x-ray vision.'
I thought to myself having a mental battle with my child self and adult self, "Okay now let's see what this new skill can do against this piece of shit of rock." I said to myself in a whisper to not get noticed by others around me "Observe" as soon as I activate the skill, my vision enhancing as I see various cracks going across the minerals.
"Wow talk about 20/20 vision, I can see everything so clearly now" I said surprised at how clear and detailed everything is 'I am going to have experiment with this to see it's full limitation, well I can worry about that later for right now I guess I just hit wherever there is a big enough crack.' I thought to myself while preparing to swing the pick-axe with a big ass grin on my face thinking how easy this is going to be.
I smirk lightly as I twirl my pic, hitting one of the larger cracks, racking me up a whole lot of pounds of marble with that one swing alone. 'Might as well keep at it, may get some free time.'
After 2 to 3 minutes of mining and gaining lots of marble I look at the quest to see how much more I have to do.
45/50 pounds of marble
45/100 pounds of marble
45/125 pounds of marble
45/150 pounds of marble
"Sweet one more hit and I will be done with my first quest." I said amazed at how fast this was, 'Wait a minute here what if this one of those quests that will automatically end once you filled the requirement stated in the description in other words 50 that would mean . . . MY FREE MONEY AND EXP WILL BE GONE. '
I go back into Observe mode, a small ting as it seems to level up, though I haven't really looked around to look at the panel. I look back at the wall of marble, as it is cracked and a massive one in the center. As I look closer, it seems to be quite interconnected in the various cracks.
Before I could do anything else, a panel opened up in my eyes. My right index and middle fingers flinching against the pick.
Detect Bloodlust (Passive) Lv 2 EXP 50/200
Get a hint on someone's blood lust and anger. By a twitch of the fingers or the eye will tell which way the bloodlust is coming from.
I groan, not scream funnily enough, as I feel a whip dig between my shoulder blades.
HP: 324 → 311
I turn around, as I see a guard, a rather tubby one with a sadistic smirk. "Stop daydreaming slave! Get back to work!"
No Title
Name: Garo Nayo
Level: 10
HP: 100/100
MP: 0/0
SP: 23/23
"Right." I state as Gamer's Mind activates, keeping me from slapping this guy to the ground. I quickly Observe him, quickly gaining another level (was it this fast back in the Manwha?).
No Title
Name: Garo Nayo
Level: 10
HP: 100
SP: 0
Garo Nayo was from a low class family in Cairn. He joined the band of guards mainly because he was hoping to be able to rape-
I turn off the biography with a look of disgust on my face, which causes him to hit me with the whip again.
HP: 311 → 298
"Drop the attitude smart guy! You may be one of those famous Fanalis guys, but while you're under my jurisdiction, you obey. You got that?"
I simply nod as I twirl my pick, which glows with green energy.
Skill created:
Full Weight Strike Lv: 1, EXP: 10/100
Imbuing an item with your raw physical strength, you can break even the toughest of armors with one swing.
Cost: 15 SP
Damage: 15 HP
SP: 360 → 345
I thought, for a single second, that I should hit this guy, but he's twice my level damnit! So instead, with all the hatred I already have for this guy, I bring my pick into the rock wall. Specifically the hub of crack networks. As my pick falls to the ground as the wall shatters all around me, as a vein is on my forehead, allowing me to walk away.
Garo is behind me, screaming as I look at an update:

I grumble, my eyes twitching as I sense some blood lust from Garo again, who seemed pissed that I took care of all I needed in one swing. I then whisper inventory real quick so that I can see those jewels. I raise an eyebrow slightly, seeing that I don't have my 12 jewels as the guard captain approaches me.
"Good work back there." He looks down at me, with a soft smirk on his face. "I hope that teaches that fool something. Don't tease the slaves." He then looks at the mess I left behind and rubbed his temples. "This is gonna be extra."
He walks off before coming back with a bag of what I had to take as the jewels as a few jinglings ring from it. I smile slightly as he waves me away. "Go on, those wounds of yours will take a bit to heal. You can probably go to the not-so-secret slave trade post." And with that he leaves fully.
I walk off, my feet crunching dirt under my foot as I look around. I then hear a wheezy voice call out. "Ah! Uru, finished a little early aren't ya?" I turn to the voice, an ancient looking man with a visible rib cage. He puts his hand on my head and ruffles my scraggly red hair, my face blushing a bit. "Always the go getter right? Can't believe old Durress there said to go get some rest."
As he begins laughing, I smile a bit as he just goes on. "Can't help it, Garo was there." I state as the old man sighs, with a strained smile. I take this time to observe him.
Title: Everyone's Dad
Name: Borros Kay
Age: 59
LV: 5
HP: 20/125
MP: 0/0
SP: 10/25
Borros Kay insulted the family heads and was ordered to be a slave. He quickly became one of the leaders of the slaves, who quickly became attached to Uru. While being seen as all the young children's father and the mentor to the teens and up.
Emotions: Anxious, Relaxed
"I understand that, but you have to remember you can't attack them." I simply nod at that as I talk to Borros more.
"I know, but if he tries anything, I might just snap." I practically growl as we end up in front of the small cell that is my room. I then hear a cheery "BRO!" and I feel something slam into my stomach. I fall back as I hold onto the ball of fluff as I see a panel next to me.
HP: 298 → 297
I look down and chuckle as I pet the girl that's hugging my stomach. "Noona, calm down."
Name: Noona Saya
Age: 6
HP: 50/50
MP: 0/0
SP: 10/10
Noona was quite alright, seemingly just as starved as the rest of us, but having more meat on her then me. Her pink-ish hair stained with mud, as I managed to wrestle myself out of her grip. "But I want a hug from big bro."
I hear Borros chuckle, so I shoot him a quick glare as I groan. "Noona, I just got back from mining a bit and-"
"But bro's super strong!" Noona interjected, as she bounces like a little puppy. "You can lift one of the carts over your head, even if it's filled."
"Well … I can't deny that logic." I chuckle as I stand up and stretch, giving her head another pet. "But I am serious, a guard decided it would be funny to strike my back a few times." Noona pouted as I smirked. "But don't worry, I am strong just like you said." I put up my little kid arm and try to flex what little bit of muscle I have. This little action causes her to giggle as I hold the bag in my hands.
I look up at Borros and state simply. "I forget where the black market thing is."
This causes him to chuckle again as he motions for me to follow him. I look back at Noona, who looked ready to follow. "Stay."
"No." She states with a stubborn look on her face as my eye twitches.
"I don't want anyone around you." I state, already feeling the overprotective part of me that was used to this world taking over.
"But if I'm with you then no one will try it." I groan, shooting a glare back at Borros as he starts to chuckle again.
"Big bro can we get that?" Noona asks as he pulls on my hand, pointing at an old tea set that an older slave was selling.
"No, I only have 18 Jewels." I state, with Noona to my right, holding onto my hand, as Borros is to my left, laughing at the misfortune I'm in. 'Thanks a lot old man' I grumble as I head to a stall cooking some actually good looking food. I go over to it with the two, buying a few sticks of kebabs for 6 Jewels. "Why is it so much?"
I look up at Borros as he thinks for a second. "Mainly since no one gets good food as it is, other than slop." I nod at that as I smile, seeing Noona chewing happily on the kebabs as I furrow my brows. I look at a sign in front of me, unable to read it. Borros looks a bit confused before chuckling. "That's just a sign stating it's about 10 jewels for a rusty sword."
I jump at that, and look at him. "You can read it?"
"Of course! I was a merchant!" Borros states proudly as I look up at him.
"C-can you teach me?" I state a bit embarrassed as I rub the back of my head. I get crushed, slightly, in a hug by this feeble old man who was crying tears of joy.

Be able to write and read a small scroll
Rewards:
+1 Int
+100 EXP
+Friendship with Borros.
I discreetly hit yes on the panel as I chuckled at the old man, who instantly started dragging me off. "Oi!" I growl and pull myself away, causing him to laugh more and more.
"And that is all that I have for you." Borros says with a small book in hand (he took 5 of my jewels to pay for it!) as I look at the various runes in front of me. I groan, this was really annoying. This was a whole new language that I was trying to learn, well at least the alphabet was.
The main thing, The Gamer allows me to speak and hear the language we're talking about, but it doesn't seem to auto translate the written word.
+1 Wis for understanding this system more
I practically swat away at the panel after Borros turns away, leaving a small child's book in front of me. I give a small sigh as I crack it open, to allow me to read it. It was hard … harder than I was expecting. I struggled simply from trying to connect the letters as Noona is sleeping next to me. I hum and whisper. "Status."

'Hmmm, it seems that during lower levels my stats will increase a bit faster. The problem with that is that I won't be able to forever grind them.' I hum and bite my bottom lip as I put 5 points into both my Int and Wis, before I rub my temples. 'This is just going to be tiring.' I turn back to the kids book and sigh, picking it up. It was … easier thanks to the increase to my Int.
