Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Aaron woke in the morning, free from the stress of the hunt from the previous day. He was little carefree about hunting, after all, he has an excellent talent.
He took a bath and had breakfast before leaving for the dungeon with lunch packed. He quickly stood before the entrance of the goblin dungeon. There are a few lesser in the queue compared to yesterday.
This dungeon is not used by hunters most of the time. There are two types of dungeons that exist in this reality. One only gives experience and one gives both experience and loot. Of course, the experience is reduced when there is loot.
A hunter dives into a dungeon mainly for loot. The items from the loot are used or sold as required. This is the source of many hunters. Without loot, there is less need for hunters to enter such dungeons.
Of course, some do to quickly level up their ranks. The trail for rank advancement also happens inside these experience dungeons.
The dungeon Aaron visited is one such experience dungeon. This is the only one that is located on the premises of the city. So every new awakened would be here. Some would spend their nights in the dungeons.
This is because one had to start over from 1st floor if they left the dungeon. The lowest floor would be where elites are found and the last floor would be where the dungeon boss is located.
Aaron summoned all his skeletons from undead space. Unlike the previous day, today he is going to reap a lot. After summoning he went in search of goblins, unlike yesterday.
He had only five skeletons and all of them appeared weak. That is not the situation now. There are twenty skeletons and all are strong, with good defense and attack power. Today he is going to be proactive.
He started to hunt goblin groups instead of singled-out stray goblins. He didn't need to fear them with so many skeletons protecting him.
Whenever he came into contact with goblins he immediately sent fifteen to kill and five to watch his back. Soon the entire floor saw the deaths of goblins.
[Killed a goblin. You gained 5 XP.]
[Super growth talent activated. XP gained increased to 50 XP.]
[Killed a goblin. You gained 5 XP.]
[Super growth talent activated. XP gained increased to 50 XP.]
...
...
The notifications kept ringing but he placed no focus on them.
After clearing out the goblins on the floor, he went to the next floor. He kept hunting till night only to take occasional breaks to keep his stamina and to eat lunch when he got hungry.
By the time he returned home, his status changed and he leveled up twice.

At dinner, he had to ease his parent's dread for life. After that, he went straight to his room. When he checked his status he was a bit shocked. He crossed two levels with the easy-going hunting he has been doing.
If he concentrates more he could reach the top rank in the province during the test but he doesn't want to do that.
Yes, there are many benefits that do come with being in the top ranks but also a lot of envy. One should always watch their back in that position. He didn't have any background support. If the enemy targets him, he could die or his parents.
Before the test, every entry would be checked on their level. A higher-level person would gather the eyes of a lot of people. Some may be helpful but some would be harmful.
The only way to become strong is by properly training. Training means killing more monsters which would increase his level faster.
The only way is to go to loot dungeons where the experience gained is reduced and there is the dungeon loot that can be obtained. This is a win-win situation for him.
He gains a lot of training, his level would be good but stays below the radar. In addition to that, he can sell the loot for money. Money is required to get better equipment. The one he is wearing is a school standard uniform which would only give him protection against monsters below Rank-1.
Even if he gains good scoring and attends a good academy, there will always be competition between students for resources. His family can't afford to buy him any decent equipment. They have already worked their asses off to pay his school tuition.
The dungeon hunt for money starts the next day. Tonight he needed rest to prepare for the next day.
He quickly added all his APs to his stats evenly. As he has a lot of reserves he didn't think much.

His attributes have already crossed one that of Rank-1 and Aaron is only at level-3. He didn't need to fear monsters of low-level dungeons.
Tonight rest, tomorrow money hunt.
