Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 39 - 39- Demon Viscount (3)

After defeating the colony of Killer Worker Bees, he had gained enough experience. but since he was a low-rank demon whose bloodline was impure, he was stuck after reaching level 200. Urging his warhorse they rapidly flew from the north side of the forest towards the dungeon.

Simon was eager to return to his dungeon as he had something he wanted to try now that he was level 200. According to the unwritten law of this world, he was a lowborn demon birthed through the extremely rich manas of this world. There was no way he could level up any further as the impure blood in him barred him from ranking up. Other than a few exceptions, most of the inhabitants of the world who did not inherit a pure bloodline, find themselves reaching a bottleneck that they can never breakthrough from.

Unless they use some precious treasure that could purify their bloodline, most of them spend their whole life stuck in the same rank. However, finding a precious treasure of the world capable enough to purify one's bloodline was easier said than done, and even if it was found it would quickly go into the pockets of those wealthy and powerful ones. That would have been the case if it was any other ordinary demon but Simon was different, he was a reincarnated person from a different world.

Soon after, the silhouette of the dungeon came into view. By now the spiral tower above the ground was fifty meters tall and had intricate designs all over. the tower was mostly empty and only had a gigantic door that led towards the first floor of the dungeon. The dungeon itself had fifteen floors and monsters spawned on the floors that acted as a defensive mechanism for it. Starting from the ninth floor to the twelfth floor was a vast mud land more than ten kilometers in area that made walking a treacherous task on this floor. Lizardmen and Pirodile that looked like gigantic piranhas spawned on this floor.

The Thirteenth and Fourteenth floor was a vast wasteland similar to the twelfth floor in size and was occupied by the anemodactyl, a race he had already fought with on the north side of the forest. Some of which were spawned by the dungeon and some brought in by him from outside. After a month, they made a new colony on the thirteenth and fourteenth floors. And finally, the fifteenth floor was used as his personal space. His personal floor wasn't as empty as before and was decorated with plenty of items he got from [Gacha]. By now Simon had collected quite a lot of joke items, the jade sofa set, crystal chandeliers were some of the few that he put in the [Gacha] in his previous life to annoy the players. But now that he was the one using the [Gacha], he couldn't help but curse his previous self.

Sitting on his jade sofa, Simon took a few deep breaths of air. Clearing his mind he opened the [Main Menu] and pressed on the [Character] option. The character option was similar to the status which displayed all his stats and skills, but the [Character] had two more functions that the status didn't and that was [Promote] and [Constellation]. The last time he used [Constellation] was to get more details on the Pride Fragment that was shown in his title. This time the function he wanted to use was [Promote], which he created in his previous life to help players break the level cap and reach new heights.

If the function performed as it was meant to in the game, then Simon was sure that he could rank up using this function and overcome the limiters set by his impure bloodline. He was aware of the impurity of his bloodline and knew that no matter how much experience he gets from defeating monsters, he would not be able to level up anymore and will always remain a Demon Baron. But with the help of [Promote] option, he felt that he would be able to break the restraints placed on him and step on a new and higher realm which would very well be impossible for others who did not have [Main Menu] with them.

With great hope and expectation, he pressed on the [Promote] option, immediately after which a new window appeared in front of him. Reading the details displayed, an incomparably wild and unrestrained joy surged within him

----

Character has met all the conditions for [Promote]. Use Purifying Crystal Essence to promote character?.

Crystal needed:- 10

On hand:- 0

YES/NO

----

The window was the very same one he was expecting and the material needed to promote was also the same. Seeing that everything was the same even after [Main Menu] got transmigrated, Simon sighed in relief. If the [Promote] didn't work, he wouldn't know what to do anymore but that was not the case, the function worked as he programmed and his wildly beating heart finally relaxed.

Purifying Crystal Essence are the materials needed to promote the character or rank up in Simon's case. The crystals can be bought from the [Shop] option of the [Main Menu] and cost 100,000 DP each. He immediately bought ten crystals for a whopping one million DP and hurriedly pressed YES. Considering that one million DP was able to help him rank up, he felt that the exchange was quite cheap.

Just after he pressed YES, a great sense of exhaustion hit him making it hard for him to sit still as the world around him kept on rotating, his eyelids growing heavier by the moment and his breathing became ragged. An unimaginable amount of pain started coursing throughout his body as he screamed out loud. A crimson light continuously pulsed inside him and drilled inside his skeleton, bones, muscles nourishing and purifying it.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH…this…wasn't..what..i..planne...d" as his words fell, he immediately passed out due to the unimaginable pain.
