My Level Zero System

Every Dungeon has dangerous monsters, but a Dungeon with fog is different.

The monsters in the Dungeon are like invisible assassins, and the fog that covers the entire Dungeon is even more deadly.

The fog there was not normal fog but a terrible sensory restriction, even those with the strongest vision, Magus possessing [Spirit Magic] were no exception.

Assassin monsters and unique fog, these two elements have increased the death rate when exploring Dungeons to over 90%.

Meaning if ten people go in there, there's a high chance that only one person will come out alive.

"Is the academy crazy? That place isn't a camping site!"

"I know, but this decision cannot be changed. Besides, it will only survive in the outer area of the first floor."

"Even so, it's still too dangerous…"

"I know, but hasn't the academy been forcing us to fulfill some kind of weird requirement all along?"

Kain replied, what she wanted to mention here was the entrance exam.

Logically speaking, getting into Kanzax Academy shouldn't be so cruel. If the reason was to compete for a spot in the Tower of Magus, then it would be acceptable.

But even if it was to compete for a spot in the Tower of Magus, there was no need to throw students into such a place.

Kain didn't think the academy didn't see this point, so there must be a reason behind it.

"Existence is reasonable."

This is the truth that Kain always believed.

"Okay, I'll be there then."

Continue your adventure with empire

Kain gave a definite answer. A small hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

It seemed like the whole situation was a bit off, the bandits, the mysterious force targeting the academy, along with the academy's somewhat hasty and hurried behavior…

A picture was drawn in Kain's mind, but the picture was still too big for now, the pieces in Kain's hands were not enough to complete it.

…

After the semester ended, Kain received his first star and registered for the next semester.

Kain's results this semester weren't too bad, except for [Fire Magic], he passed all three other subjects.

Afterwards, Kain returned to the dormitory to pack the necessary luggage for the upcoming long expedition. As soon as Kain reached the door, he met Hardy.

"Hardy."

"Kain! You're... back to normal!"

Hardy said with a little agitation.

Kain's condition had been scaring Hardy for the past two months, but luckily there were no problems now.

At the same time, Kain looked towards Hardy's lapel and Hardy was doing the same.

On the lapel of both of their clothes, there was a sparkling star attached to it.

"Looks like you made it through."

"Same thing."

The two students chatted politely with each other for a while.

In the last semester, apart from potion making, Hardy only registered for one more magic subject, which was [Earth Magic]. Fortunately, this little guy's talent wasn't bad, so his results weren't bad.

But what surprised Kain even more was that Hardy's practical semester actually had a mission to collect ten rare herbs, and the place to collect them was the Salamander Dungeon.

What a coincidence?

Kain thought, actually it wasn't really a coincidence.

The Dungeon was very famous, and its location near Esten meant that there were many students who chose to do their internship semester missions there. Furthermore, Kain remembered that the first floor of this Dungeon was a primeval forest. Many Adventurers come here to pick herbs to sell to merchants and pharmacies.

Putting all the above reasons together, it's not strange that Hardy went to that Dungeon to collect herbs.

"I plan to buy herbs outside the Dungeon, if I don't gather enough I'll probably have to hire an Adventurer."

Hardy presented his plan, but did not mention a word about cooperating with Kain.

Kain didn't pay any attention to this, just said a few more words to his roommate and then hurriedly left.

Looking at Kain's back, an indefinable sadness flashed in Hardy's eyes.

Kain could not wait a minute, and directly hired a carriage and left Esten that same day.

His destination was the Kadata town.

Kadata Town is not a purely residential area, but was built to be a stronghold for Adventurers and those who venture into Dungeons to make money. This place has no walls, nor a town hall, however the Akazac government still secretly controls this place.

However, the town's appearance was still much more chaotic than a normal town, with more taverns, casinos and brothels than inns, and there was hardly a day without fights, even some resulting in death. However, the government did not care about these things, as long as they did not cause disturbances that affected the entire town.

One thing is for sure, this place is full of life.

Because as soon as he got off the carriage, Kain ran into two gangs fighting each other.

"You son of a b*tch! You're a liar!"

"You are the one who lies first!"

Despite the back and forth, the story was not worth mentioning. It was just that these two gangs worked together to hunt a monster, but in the end, they stabbed each other in the back to fight over its skin.

Kain was too lazy to care about who was right and who was wrong. Seeing that the battle between the other people was about to spread to him, Kain looked up at the sky. Thunder and lightning had gathered at some unknown time and suddenly struck straight down.

Immediately, the person closest to him was instantly shocked into paralysis, entire body collapsing to the ground.

The rest of the people were also terrified and stopped, making a path for Kain to step out of the battle range.

No one dared to have any objections, after all, the opponent was Magus.

Overcoming the war between the two gangs, Kain officially entered Kadata.

Just like the information he had investigated before, this place was much more chaotic than other towns, but this place itself had its own order, its own ecosystem.
