After Soren got teleported, he found himself inside a huge underground prison.

The place was dark, cold, and smelled of rusted iron and old decay. Thick stone walls surrounded him, with broken chains hanging loosely from the sides.

The narrow corridor stretched deep into the darkness, making it clear that this was once a place meant to hold prisoners.

In this deep silence, the only sound Soren could hear was the "Voice of the World."

’As I thought, the dungeon didn’t change, only the difficulty has been adjusted.’

Even though he found himself in such a god-forsaken place, a small smile tugged at Soren’s lips.

This was the same prompt Evan had received when he entered this place in the game. At that time, too, the difficulty had been adjusted to B-rank.

Basically, since this dungeon allowed class ascension, it had a unique mechanism, hence its name.

*Whoosh!*

Just as Soren felt slightly relieved, a foul, stagnant air suddenly drifted from the dark corridor ahead.

In an instant, a heavy, oppressive aura pressed against his senses, cold and suffocating, as if something unseen had locked its gaze on him from the shadows.

Simultaneously, he once again heard the "Voice of the World."

---

[Warning! Your existence has been detected by the boss of the Fallen King’s Cellar, Cursed Warden.]

[The Warden does not like the living. Its foul, murderous intent has spread to every corner of the dungeon.]

[Warning! You have been affected by the curse released by the Warden.]

[Warning! You have been influenced by the domain effect: Prisoner’s Weight.]

[All your stats have been reduced by 30%.]

[You have gained a debuff: Prisoner’s Weight. Movement speed, stamina recovery, and physical agility are weakened inside the Warden’s domain.]

---

In an instant, Soren felt as if all strength had been drained from his body. It was as if something had forcibly sucked away his power, leaving a heavy, oppressive weakness spreading through his limbs.

The fight hadn’t even started, and he was already spotted by the Boss, not to mention the curse that was so strong that his stat got reduced by 30%.

Fortunatley, he came prepared.

As Soren was feeling very weak, he quickly activated the ring he wore on his finger, which he got from Isolde.

---

[You have activated the D-rank consumable artifact: Crimson Wyvern Ring.]

[All curse effects and domain debuffs have been temporarily nullified for 1 hour.]

---

"Nice!"

Soren breathed a sigh of relief after he found that his strength had returned to normal.

Now, all he had to do was clear this dungeon within one hour.

Although it seemed difficult under such a time constraint...

*Click... clack...*

It wouldn’t be so hard if the monsters inside this dungeon chased him themselves, saving him the trouble of finding them.

*Click... clack...*

As the sound grew clearer and closer, echoing through the dark underground corridor like something heavy and lifeless was slowly marching in perfect unison, Soren felt a heavy aura engulf the entire chamber he was standing in.

Although this aura did not have the suppressive pressure of the Warden, it was still suffocating.

By now, Soren could already hear the low, faint rattling sound of bones rubbing against each other.

’It is time.’

Soren immediately became serious after sensing the aura and took out his C-rank bow from his inventory, his eyes fixed on the narrow corridor ahead.

Finally, from the endless darkness, he saw pale white figures begin to emerge one after another.

They were tall, human-like figures made only of bones, their hollow and empty eye sockets carrying an eerie gaze that seemed capable of piercing straight into his soul, while a faint blue flame burned quietly inside their chest cavities like a cursed heart sustaining their undead bodies.

Skeleton soldiers.

Dozens of them.

No, judging from the sounds behind them, the number was still increasing.

Fortunately, the corridor was only wide enough for a few to advance at once, saving him from being immediately surrounded.

’That Cursed Warden really didn’t even let me prepare.’

Although Soren knew what he would face and was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but feel his body slightly tense. His hand already tightly gripped his bow as he slowly prepared his arrows.

All because he knew that, although these monsters were only mobs, their level was still higher than his.

---

[Monter: Skeleton Soldiers]

[Race: Undead]

[Level: 30 (Suppressed)]

---

This was the difference between a normal dungeon and a Unique dungeon. Although the difficulty had been adjusted due to his low rank, it was still the highest possible within the same rank.

Each and every skeleton soldier in front of him was at Level 30 in the suppressed state. This meant their real strength was far above his own.

To be honest, Soren felt a slight nervousness as the undead army continued marching forward, each one looking more terrifying than the last.

After all, even Evan had struggled greatly to kill them all in the game.

Perhaps the reward for clearing this dungeon was class ascension; it demanded the absolute peak combat ability from someone of his level.

’Fortunately, I am an archer and not a close-range fighter... and I also know their glaring weakness.’

Soren took a deep breath, hid behind a pillar, and prepared himself. His hand was already holding the Moonshadow Bow with an arrow nocked and ready.

He did not want to allow more skeleton soldiers to enter the chamber.

Although the chamber was large, with prison cells and pillars he could use for cover, fighting would become much harder if too many enemies entered at once.

So, the moment a few skeleton soldiers stepped through the narrow corridor, carrying iron swords that shimmered faintly with silver light, Soren hid behind the pillar and carefully aimed at his target.

*Swoosh!*

Then, without hesitation, he aimed at one skeleton soldier and released his arrow.

In an instant, the arrow flew rapidly toward the skeleton. Because of the C-rank bow’s effect, the arrow made almost no sound as it cut through the dim underground air.

Before the undead soldier could even react, the arrow was already in front of it, aiming directly at the faint blue flame burning inside its chest.

*Bang!*

Without suspense, the arrow pierced through the blue flame.

The flame shattered like glass struck by a hammer, and the skeleton soldier’s body froze for a brief moment before collapsing into scattered bones on the stone floor.

Simultaneously, Soren heard his system prompt in his mind,

---

Ding!

[An incredible luck applies.]

[Congratulations! Your Invariable Stat, Critical Hit, has been activated.]

[The damage dealt to the Skeleton Soldier will be doubled.]

---

As Soren had expected, the +5% critical damage chance effect of his C-rank bow had significantly increased the probability of activating his Invariable Stat.

Even without using the GAP stat to increase his skill rank, he was still able to kill a Level 30 skeleton soldier. Too bad, he gained no experience points.

Of course, this was possible because Soren knew their weakness from the game.

That blue flame inside the chest of the undead skeletons was the core that sustained their existence.

As long as he destroyed that flame, he could kill them instantly.

It was not without reason that he had entered this dungeon with confidence.

*Swoosh!*

However, this did not mean he could continue killing them while staying hidden.

The chamber was not large enough to completely conceal his presence.

The moment he killed one skeleton soldier, every undead warrior in the corridor immediately sensed his aura.

Their hollow, empty eye sockets turned toward him at once, locking onto his position.

Now, even if he wanted to hide, he could not.
