Life Dungeon Game

[Age 0: You were born, and your parents named you Ronald]

[Age 1: You live in a wilderness nomad camp between Dawn City and Kaya City. You are the child of the camp chief. When you were a few months old, your mother died in a monster attack.]

[Age 2: Your camp isn't large, with only a little over a hundred people. You live in a quiet valley, and a trading area has been set up around the camp. Wilderness hunters from the fortress city, wilderness wanderers from other camps, caravans of conglomerates passing through, and mercenary groups trade here.]

[Age 3: Your father is in charge of the entire trading area, so he doesn't have time to discipline you. Your nanny says that your father is the greatest figure in the entire camp. It is because of the trading area he established that the camp's wanderers no longer have to risk their lives hunting animals among the beast hordes and can safely get through the winter.]

[Age 4: You have no concept of your father's responsibilities; in fact, because you rarely see him, you don't even recognize him.]

[Age 5: The nanny said you should read some early childhood education books, and at least learn some federal language.]

[Age 6: There was no school at the camp. All the children studied under an old man with a white beard. The old man was fierce and often hit your palm. He seemed particularly strict with you.]

[Age 7: You gradually begin to remember your father's appearance. Although you live together, your impression of him is limited to him leaving in a hurry in the morning and going to bed very late at night.]

[Age 8: Your learning content is unusually extensive. Besides teaching you to read and write and guiding you through the books about the fortress city acquired from the conglomerate, the old man will also spend a considerable amount of time teaching you to recognize the more common beasts found in the wilderness.]

[Age 9: You gradually learned many words and read many books. One morning, you asked the old man, "Why is the fortress city so good? Why don't we live in the city?"]

"Because the city doesn't welcome us," the old man replied. You didn't understand his words, so you could only keep them to yourself.

[Age 10: That winter, the camp was attacked by a horde of strange beasts. You didn't understand what a beast attack meant. You only saw that your father hadn't slept for several days and his hair had turned even whiter. After that, several familiar faces in the camp disappeared.]

When you ask where they went, the adults only tell you that they returned to God's embrace. You don't know where God is, but it's probably a happy place, because the adults tell you there are no mad beasts there, the winter was cold, and the old man didn't spank your hands.

[Age 11: As spring arrives, you finally see a smile on your father's face. Some things you've never seen before are installed around the camp. Your nanny tells you they are 'weapons' from the city.]

[Age 12: A grand ceremony was held at the camp. Your father carried a huge, terrifying beast around the camp. The old man was very happy today. He told you that your father had been promoted to C-rank. That seemed...]

He is a very strong individual.

[Age 13: You've gradually come to understand many things and are now hunting deep in the mountains with the camp's hunters. The pelts of exotic animals are highly sought after in the city, with many willing to pay high prices. This money from the city is then used to buy newer weapons and ammunition to protect the camp.]

[Age 14: One of your hunting partners was killed by a strange beast while hunting. You have come to understand the meaning of death, and you pray to God, hoping that He will be free from hunger and fear in His kingdom.]

[15 years old: The old man is a teacher at the camp and also a part-time priest. He looks a bit older than when you first met him.]

During class that day, he brought you news: due to your outstanding hunting performance, you have been granted the opportunity to take a secret medicine to advance to the level of a superhuman. Even though you are the leader's son, your father does not favor you, and it took you a long time to finally obtain this opportunity.

[At age 16: You became Talent Sequence 5: Angry Man, and the captain of a hunter squad.]

[Age 17: That winter, the camp was attacked by a large number of alien beasts again. In the past, you could easily defeat the alien beasts with the weapons from the city, but this time, the alien beasts seemed to be much stronger. An E-level Dark Night Wolf bypassed the camp's defenses and slaughtered the people behind the camp. You rushed back from the defensive line and led your team to kill the wolf.]

In this battle, most of your team members were killed or wounded, and you were also seriously injured. Although you survived by sheer luck, you needed six months to recover.

[18 years old: Through last winter's battles, you successfully mastered 'Angry Man'. In the fall, the old man brought you more good news. Because of your achievements last year, you obtained the secret medicine for 'Talent Sequence 23: Fighter', an E-rank advancement sequence for Angry Man.]

[At 19: You have become a 'fighter' and the camp has organized a new hunter squad for you.]

You have fewer and fewer companions around you. Sometimes you talk to caravans from fortress cities, listening to them describe the city's prosperity and all sorts of strange and wonderful technological products. You hear that they come from a city called Dawn City, which is one of the most prosperous cities in the Federation.

You ask them if there are any mad beasts there. They tell you that there are no beasts in the fortress city, and no one needs to worry about beast attacks.

It truly felt like God's kingdom.

[Age 20: When you were talking to the old man, you brought up the issue of fortress cities again.]

But the old man tells you, 'Sometimes, humans are more terrifying than beasts.'

He told you not to easily trust caravans or other wanderers in the wilderness. The wilderness is dangerous, and you're not the only one born to wander; there are also people who, due to various crimes, can no longer stay in the city.

[Age 21: My father is getting older and older. Some people say that lifespan increases after advancing to C-rank, but I feel that my father is aging faster and faster. In recent years, he has been taking on more and more tasks to clear out powerful alien beasts near the camp, and the continuous battles are weakening his life force.]

[Age 22: A new wanderer arrives at the camp. He claims to be from a wanderer camp on the other side of Kaya City. That camp was destroyed due to the migration of powerful monsters, and they had to continue wandering. He came here. Every year, some new wanderers come to the camp, and you didn't pay attention to it. But in recent years, more and more wanderers have come to the camp.]

That year, with increasing defensive pressure, Father decided to bypass the wilderness hunters and caravans, and directly enter Dawn City to sell furs for higher profits. You were chosen to be among the first to enter Dawn City.

[Age 23: After a winter of preparation, you secretly set off in the spring, following the map you obtained from trading with caravans, bypassing the areas most frequented by wilderness hunters, and arrived at Dawn City.]

While going through security, you encounter a blonde girl who claims to be an intern FBI investigator. Although she is still a student, she is very beautiful but has mechanical legs.

Her legs are so beautiful, they look so real. You've seen many cyborgs, but her legs are the most perfectly made you've ever seen.

This young girl was very helpful. She helped you complete the security check quickly and learned many stories about the wilderness from you. She said that she would become a field investigator in the future to protect the city. Although you didn't know what a field investigator's job was, you still sincerely wished her success.

Upon entering the city, you quickly met with the fur merchant your father had already contacted and completed the transaction. The bustling city of Dawn greatly impressed you; the dazzling array of goods and vibrant advertisements exuded an air of extravagance. However, you didn't linger long and soon left.

[Age 24: Your husband is starting to pressure you into marriage, but you feel you're still young and there's no need to rush. The Wilderness Hunters seem to have reservations about you bypassing them and directly trading with fur merchants in Dawn City, leading to several unpleasant encounters.]

[Age 25: The surrounding beasts are getting stronger and stronger, making even hunting difficult. Fortunately, the camp still has the savings from the past to buy food from the consortium. That winter, the camp was attacked by beasts again. Among these beasts was a C-level bitter ape. At the critical moment when my father was fighting the bitter ape, a wanderer who had joined the camp a few years ago escaped the defense line and allowed the beasts to enter the camp.]

Meanwhile, the wilderness hunters, accompanied by mercenaries, ambushed Father. Father severely wounded the bitter ape and killed the mercenaries, but was also seriously injured. You and your squad also killed the strange beast that entered the camp.

[Age 26: Due to your accumulated merits over the years, you have obtained the D-rank 'Talent Sequence 50: Martial Artist' secret medicine, and you have been promoted to D-rank, becoming one of the camp's leaders.]

[Age 27: The surrounding beasts are getting stronger and stronger, but my father's injuries have not healed.]

After a battle, your father returned home and embraced you for the first time in a long, deep hug, kissing your forehead. Looking at his gray hair, you held him tightly. That night, your father never woke up again.

[Age 28: Your father's deputy has taken over as leader, and he has promoted you to be his deputy. His talent sequence is not the same as your father's, so the C-grade 'Talent Sequence 99: Hunter' extracted from your father's body has been given to you. This is the only thing your father left you.]

[Age 29: After Father's death, the new leader is only a D-rank, and the monsters around the camp are getting stronger. You are gradually unable to clear the monsters around the camp as quickly as when Father was alive. After several caravans were attacked, they stopped trading at the camp. With the shrinking of the trading area, the camp's income is declining.]

Fewer and fewer, the fur convoys, the only important source of income, have also been repeatedly attacked by wilderness hunters.

You seem to be at the point of marriage, but the increasingly dire situation at camp leaves you no time for anything else.

[Age 30: The old man died. He lived for a very, very long time and taught many, many people. But before people could even grieve, an even worse piece of news arrived with the last few caravans.]

A beast, suspected to be of Rank A, is migrating this way. Its predicted migration route happens to include the location of the camp. After a night of discussion, the new leader is preparing to relocate the camp.

[Age 31: You have two directions to choose from, east and west, but you ultimately decide to migrate east because a cultist named Yezola has recently appeared in the west. He is exceptionally cruel and insane, and you do not intend to confront him.]

After months of preparation for the migration, you chose a new place suitable for living and began your migration.

However, at that very moment, the ape that your father had wounded returned and attacked the migrating caravan.

[Age 32: The new leader died in battle against the bitter ape, the entire migration caravan was scattered, and the remaining people gathered around you. You became the new leader of the camp. The camp, which had been more than a thousand people, was now reduced to just over a hundred people. The bitter ape still followed you closely.]

You are preparing to take the 'Hunter' elixir left by your father in an attempt to advance your cultivation level.

However, promotion from D-rank to C-rank requires taking a secret medicine during a specific ceremony.

The ritual required for a 'Hunter' to advance is to hunt more than five D-level superhuman beings or one C-level superhuman being in a single day through various means such as fighting and trapping.

You spent half a month figuring out the nearby D-rank beasts, killed one of them, and set a trap to lure the rest. However, instead of attracting other D-rank beasts, you attracted an uninvited guest: the 'Bitter Ape'.

Your mission is to find a new home.

Enjoy the game!

"Ha-hoo-hoo!"

He leaned against a boulder, feeling as if his lungs were being pulled and leaking air, like a broken bellows.

Ronaldo's life story actually contains slightly more information than the previous ones, because while the others were focused on their studies, Ronaldo not only had to study but also had to fight wild beasts in the wilderness.

A sharp pain shot through his chest. He looked down and the first thing he saw was a tattered garment stained with blood, and beneath it was a huge, bloody claw mark.

He heard huge footsteps behind him. He struggled to move his body and looked behind him. What came into his view was a huge white-armed giant ape that was nearly three meters tall.

Bitter ape.

The bitter ape didn't seem to be in much better condition than He Ao; it was covered in blood, and as it walked, drops of blood with a yellow sheen fell to the ground.

However, through Ronald's memories, Heo clearly knew that this was the true, powerful form of the Bitter Ape.

The name "Bitter Ape" comes from its ability: the more suffering and injury it endures, the stronger it becomes in combat.

In contrast to its abilities, it is also exceptionally resilient. Unless you can defeat it in one move, it will grow stronger the more you fight it, and it will become increasingly difficult to defeat it as the battle progresses.

Ronaldo's father instilled in the bitter ape the fear of being instantly killed, which is why he severely injured it and scared it away.

Even among C-level alien beasts, the Bitter Ape is considered to be in the top tier of combat power if judged purely by its combat strength.

Moreover, this guy is not only strong, but also cunning. When he was lured in, he first stepped into Ronaldo's trap, got injured, and then came looking for Ronaldo.

He activated his super memory and gripped the scimitar in his hand, the weapon left to him by Ronald's father.

At that very moment, a loud crash came from behind him, and the boulder he was hiding on was smashed to pieces by the immense force.

A huge ape paw slammed down from behind like lightning.

The moment the boulder shattered, He Ao crouched down and rolled to the left front, turning back to look at the bitter ape.

This is a relatively flat riverbank, next to a shallow stream, where the tranquil water ripples gently under the amber-like moonlight.

The detailed world from the perspective of hypermemory was reflected in He Ao's mind. His brain worked rapidly, processing this massive amount of information and beginning to build a combat model for the Bitter Ape.

He Ao was not in good condition at the moment. The roll he had just made further damage to his chest wound, making it increasingly difficult for him to breathe. Every breath he took brought intense tearing pain.

However, this pain was still within He Ao's tolerance range.

He took a few steps back, moving away from the bitter ape in front of him.

Before he can defeat the Bitter Ape in one move, any attack on the Bitter Ape will increase its combat power.

Seeing him retreat, the bitter ape was clearly annoyed.

If Heo rushes in to attack it directly, it will be killed quickly. But if Heo delays, it will needlessly increase the time of the battle.

With a powerful push of its feet, it charged towards He'ao like a cannonball.

Its claws were raised high, as if it wanted to smash Heo into mincemeat in one fell swoop.

The Bitter Ape's fighting style is basically based on brute force and hand-to-hand combat, using the enormous strength gained after being injured to directly kill people.

He Ao certainly couldn't just stand there waiting for the bitter ape to pat him.

With the aid of his super memory, he violently pulled his body to the side and rolled away, dodging the ape's impact.
