It's morning and Jae-hoon wakes up and looks at the time on his phone. After he checked his phone for the time he gets out of bed and starts to brush his teeth. After he finished brushing his teeth, he took a shower. After a while, he finished showering and while looking in the mirror, he realized that his body now looks more built than before.
"Is this because of the system?" he thinks to himself. "Yeah. That might be it but…. Damn. I look a lot better than before."
"I haven't checked my stats in a while. Maybe I should check them first," he thought.
[Level:37]
[Stats]
[Strength:85]
[Agility:85]
[Intelligence:45]
[Resilience:55]
[Senses:50]
[Available stat points: 90]
"That's why…. My strength stat is at 85. Dang…. I've been spending so much stat points on my strength and agility. Maybe I should add some to other stats as well. Intelligence is one thing. If I want to use a higher level spell from my fire magic, I need to have a lot of mana. Yeah," he mumbles to himself. "60 stat points to intelligence."
[Intelligence: 45 to 105]
[Your mana has increased from 1800 to 4300]
[Your magic knowledge has been increased to 105% (max: 300%)]
"Huh. That's one of the important messages. It never showed that max intelligence percentage before. So I can go up to 300% which means I can be really effective in magic as well. That's nice," he mumbles to himself.
[Your intelligence stats has exceeded 100%]
[Your exp gain will be increased by 50%]
"Woah! Exp gain boost?! Nice!" he says, excited. "I almost forgot to do my daily quest. I didn't do my daily quest yesterday either. Maybe I should do them."
[Starting daily quest]
[As a penalty for not doing a daily quest for 6 days straight, the difficulty will increase to nightmare difficulty or SS rank]
[This quest is not cancelable]
[Good luck]
"What?! Nightmare?!" he says, worried. Before he could even prepare himself, he immediately got teleported in the daily quest dungeon. Unlike last time he did a daily quest where there is a small gate that appears first, he immediately got teleported.
[Quest started]
[Dragons' Lair Conquest]
[Rank: SS]
[Description: You haven't done a daily quest for 6 days straight. This is a forced daily quest by the system. Kill all the dragons in this daily quest dungeon to clear it]
[Objective: Kill all 50 dragons]
[Progress: 0/50]
"What?! 50?! Isn't that a bit too much?! I just hit send here out of my consent and now you want me to do something like this?! What the fuck?!" he says, cursing.
Suddenly, the goddess from the first time he unlocked the system appears in front of him.
"Hello, Jae-hoon. It's been a while, isn't it? You might be wondering why I am here. Well, it's just that I want to give you a piece of advice. Penalties. Those exist. Especially daily quests. You can't skip them. Once you skip them, it will count as one penalty strike. More strikes, means harder daily quests. Is that clear?" she says.
"Yeah. I understand," he says in a low tone.
"Just to help you for this time. Nothing much. This will be the last time for real. Use this weapon," as she finishes talking, she summons a black scythe in front of Jae-hoon - the scythe hovers in the air as Jae-hoon takes the scythe.
[Grimhowl Scythe]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Stats: +75 strength. +50 agility]
[Description: A black scythe with special property. The more souls it collects, the stronger it gets. This scythe has never felt the feeling of fullness. It is always hungry for souls,]
[Special effects: Apply 'Fear' and 'Bleeding' debuffs to the enemy for 150 seconds]
[Passive: Soul Hunger]
[Passive description: Collects the souls of the enemy killed. Each kill gives one stack of Soul. Each stack will increase the stats of the scythe by 2%]
"Woah. That's a lot of information and this weapon is a legendary weapon. And the stats…. That's crazy…." Jae-hoon says as he examines the scythe.
"I'll give this to you since I have too many treasures to keep. Also, I can give you coins if you want," she says.
[You have received 25000 coins]
"Wha-! 25000?! Isn't that a lot?!" Jae-hoon asks, perplexed by the amount of coins.
"Like I said, I just have too many treasures to keep for myself. Alright, that's it from me. Good luck on clearing this penalty daily quest, Jae-hoon," she says before leaving.
"Sigh…. Guess I need to clear this all by myself," he mumbles to himself before heading into the Dragons' Lair.
When he walks into the Dragons' Lair, he just sees a lot of dragons flying by - wings flapped and roars can be heard.
"Damn…. I need to kill those dragons? Can I even kill one?" he says, sounding worried about whether he can kill a dragon or not.
Before he could continue walking, a dragon sees him and immediately lands in front of him - The dragon roars in front of his face to intimidate him.
"Shit…. I didn't think one would come to me as a volunteer. Fuck," he says, with a worried grin. "Maybe I should just put some stat points in strength to win. Yeah let's do that. Put all the rest of the stat points to strength."
[Strength: 85 to 115]
Before Jae-hoon can even lift up the scythe to attack the dragon, the dragon attacks him with a slash. Jae-hoon manages to block it at the very last second. Even though he blocked it, the attack threw him back a little bit far.
"Damn…. That dragon is definitely strong. And you expect me to kill 50 of those?! This is fucking insanity!" Jae-hoon complained. "I can't fucking do that! This penalty is fucking hell!"
When Jae-hoon thought that the dragon had stopped - the dragon attacked him again with a tail whip this time. Jae-hoon manages to counter attack it and the dragon gets injured a little bit on the tail. Despite his high strength stats, he can't even injure the dragon fatally.
"What the fuck…? Its scales are tough like a freaking diamond. Maybe tougher…. Shit…. I can't even injure it!" he says in a frustrated tone.
Jae-hoon can't take any rest because the dragon just keeps on attacking him non-stop. Attacks after attacks - he just keeps blocking without any rest.
[Fatigue=79]
"I need to find its weakness quickly! Shit! I can't hold up for too long! My fatigue is shooting up!" he says in his mind, frustrated. "Fuck it! Shop! Open!"

Jae-hoon dodge another attack from the dragon and Hunter's Eyes immediately activates to find the weakness of the dragon. "Found it. The eyes and the underside of the neck," he says.
Without wasting time, he immediately aims for the dragon's eyes to first blind it and move one to behead the dragon with one swing from the bottom of the neck.
[You have killed a Non-elemental Dragon]
[Level 75]
[You have leveled up]
[You received five stat points]
[Soul stack: One]
[You have received dragon scales ×25]
"Huff…. They're really weak on the eyes and the underside of their neck. That's great to know. But damn…. That was a Non-elemental Dragon. Not even an Elemental Dragon yet. Before I could do anything, I should go into stealth first. Moonlight Stealth," he says, more calmly now after defeating the dragon. Jae-hoon didn't want to attract more attention to himself so he went into stealth.
He then wanders around the lair searching for the weakest dragons first. Kills after kills he wipes out all the weak dragons in stealth.
[You have killed Non-elemental Dragon ×9]
[Level 60-75]
[You have leveled up eight times]
[You received 45 stat points]
[Soul stack: Ten]
[You have received dragon scales ×160]
"I wiped out all the Non-elemental Dragons. Now there's only the Elemental Dragons. From what I can see with my Hunter's Eyes, they don't have any sort of weakness that's the same as the Non-elemental Dragons except for the eyes," he mumbles to himself as he scans the area after wiping out all the Non-elemental Dragons. "I'll try to kill them if I can."
