Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Building up a good reputation is a necessary thing for those that want to climb to the top.

Because of that, even though Alex is only level 25 at the moment, he's already thinking of building his own reputation.

And right now, Alex thought about a good way to do that with the help of the Trial Tower.

Just like Elisa, as someone who's already a Tier-3 player at the age of 19, she is known to everyone as a genius.

Alex also plans to use the Trial Tower to build his own image as a genius.

With a smile, Alex's eyes lingered on the stone monument for a few seconds before turning away and moving deeper into the Trial Tower.

There's only one path inside the tower and Alex walked for a while before seeing an opening.

Looking around, Alex saw that he arrived in a dark and gloomy place that looked to be a cave.

The only source of light inside the room is a few torches burning with blue light.

[Ding!]

[You entered the Trial Tower's first floor.]

Alex observed his surroundings curiously and said, "So this is the Trial Tower's first floor, huh."

At this time, the flames on the torches suddenly started flickering as if it's been disturbed by the wind.

The next moment, something that caused Alex to frown happened in front of him.

Pixels appeared out of thin air and slowly turned into animal-like body parts.

Then after a few seconds, the pixels finally turned into a 2.5 meter tall monster with a big body and huge horns.

On that monster's hand, it was holding a big hammer that seemed to be covered in blood.

When the monster was fully revealed, Alex finally learned its identity.

"Minotaur…"

A notification appeared while Alex is still looking at the minotaur.

[Ding!]

[Please defeat the enemy and advance to the next floor.]

Alex glanced at it before turning his eyes back at the minotaur.

To be prepared, Alex used [Inspect] on the minotaur.

[Minotaur]

[Level: 25]

[Strength: 99] | [Constitution: 91] | [Intelligence: 36] | [Agility: 54]

Minotaur is a Leader class monster.

Because of that, its overall stats are greater than ordinary monsters of the same level.

Normally, if an ordinary adventurer saw a leader class monster, they can only despair because they are no match to it.

However, in front of Alex, it's the minotaur who has to face despair.

The minotaur looked at Alex and opened its mouth, seemingly about to roar.

Seeing that, Alex squinted and said, "I don't like it loud right now, so you have to say goodbye."

The next moment, Alex casted magic at the minotaur.

"[Earth Spike]!"

Suddenly, spikes sprouted from the ground near the minotaur and attacked it.

When the minotaur saw that, panic flashed through its eyes and attempted to dodge.

Unfortunately, it was too slow and was pierced by multiple spikes in the end.

In its dying breath, the minotaur looked at Alex with confusion and sadness.

As if saying, "If you don't want it loud, just say so, why did you have to kill me like that?"

In response, Alex only smiled until the minotaur finally burst into countless pixels.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, you cleared the first floor of the Trial Tower. You can now advance to the next floor.]

At the same time as the notification appeared, stairs suddenly formed on the walls, heading upstairs.

Alex smiled and said, "Well, that was easy."

After saying that, he was about to go to the stairs and head towards the next floor.

But something on the ground suddenly caught his eyes.

"Hmm? What is this?"

Alex crouched and looked at the items on the ground.

After a close inspection, Alex saw that it was 3 silver coins, a bull horn, and a steel hammer.

When he saw all of it, Alex immediately realized what these things were and exclaimed, "Item drops!"

Item drop or some people called loots.

They are items that appear after you defeat a monster and their body disappears.

"So the monsters here in the Trial Tower have item drops. I didn't think of that, I should have turned on 'Fortune' to get more drops."

Alex usually hunts in the wild where the monster leaves carcasses and not item drops.

Because of that, he didn't think about item drops.

But now that he knows, Alex of course won't waste this chance.

Alex put all the items dropped by the minotaur in his inventory before proceeding to the next floor.

The next floor is still the same layout as the first one.

However, this time two appeared for Alex to fight.

Alex didn't feel scared even after seeing that the number of monsters doubled.

Instead, his eyes lit up and he felt happy.

"With more monsters, there will be more items to be dropped!"

Rubbing his hands together, Alex turned on 'Fortune' and jumped towards the minotaurs.

"Thanks in advance!"

Saying that, Alex killed the both of them with one hit before turning off 'Fortune'.

When the body of the two minotaurs disappeared, Alex looked at the ground and as expected, there were now items on the ground.

Alex smiled, "Now then, let's see what kind of items I got after turning on 'Fortune' state."

Alex walked closer to the drops and crouched down.

Immediately, a smile bloomed on Alex's face.

"Hehe, I'm really lucky!"

On the ground, two pieces of gold coins, two vials of unknown potions, a big red hammer, and a ring appeared.

"Let's see what these things are!"

Alex first picked up the unknown potions and used [Inspect].

[Strength Potion]

[Details: increase strength stats by 10 after drinking.]

"Ooh! This thing is quite good!"

"Even though it's useless to me, I can sell it at a high price once I come out!"

Alex immediately thought of selling the [Strength Potion] since he doesn't need it.

And Alex also already has a target in mind on who he is going to sell it.

The image of the cold beauty back at the restaurant crossed his mind and he smiled.

"If I meet her again after I come out, I will make sure to sell this thing to her."
