MMORPG: Strongest Assassin Online
Chapter 44 44 Ice Dungeon

"No...how could you let this happen, where am I going to see another boy like that, I'm going to look for him no matter what" the girl pouted and walked away angrily.

'Phew I escaped, I need to keep moving' Alex continued running towards the location of the dungeon.

There were other players also running towards the dungeon but Alex kept a fair distance away from them because now they were outside the city.

Players haven't started killing each other yet because the change was still new, it would take some getting used to before a player would go on a rampage and kill anyone in his sight.

Large shouts and complaints came from the location of the dungeon and they were more than 200 players there, Alex looked around and saw some players trying to become leaders.

The first dungeon hasn't been cleared, so no one paid attention to the second dungeon which was a few meters away from there.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked a guy.

"Apparently the dungeon is more difficult than anticipated, so they are trying to form a standard team that consists of players from different classes so they can conquer the dungeon"

"So they won't let anyone pass" Alex spoke with a questioning face.

"You are free to pass, but you can't beat the dungeon alone and when the beasts attacks you are going to run out by yourself, many players tried it, two got killed and three ran out" the guy explained.

"Settle down and listen" the player in front shouted and slowly the shouts and mumbling died down.

"The dungeon isn't a piece of cake, and there are special rules, when you go in the rules would be explained but we need a team made out of all the classes so we can conquer the dungeon, and all of us can gain rewards" the player shouted.

The players knew his way around words, Alex could see his level and he was already at level 10 so he was the biggest player here and everyone could see that they have a better chance of clearing the dungeon with him.

"The maximum number of people allowed in the dungeon is 100, so we'll need ranged class, healers, mages, knights and swordsmen, and some additional class to make up the team, so first we need 30 people from the range class"

Alex watched as the player assembled in front of the dungeon portal, all the players were in sync so angry players held their opinions to themselves afraid that if they say something they might be killed.

"So five players more, anyone from a different class" the player shouted.

"Me..." Alex shouted and everyone looked back.

Alex made his way forward as all the players looked at his level, Alex was level 6 and most of the players there were level 4 or 5 only a few were 7 or 8.

[Reaper]

[Level 6]

"Level 6 good...what class are you Reaper?" the guy asked.

[Yeti]

[Level 10]

Alex saw the guy's name and spoke, "I'm an Assassin"

"Assassin is part of the fighter class, or it's good, anyone else"

The players were finally up to a hundred and all the other players began to move toward the second dungeon, the same strategy was used in selecting players.

The players entered the dungeon two at a time and finally, it was Alex's turn and he entered, the dungeon was not like he expected.

They appeared in a frozen area with large snow covered-trees around, snow covered the whole landscape making it very beautiful, but they couldn't see past the trees.

[Low-level Ice dungeon]

[Level 1 - 30]

[Boss: Ice Elemental]

[Note: When the players in a dungeon are less than 100 the portal stays open, but once the players are up to 100 the portal closes and doesn't open until all the players are killed or the dungeon is cleared, clearing a dungeon means killing the dungeon boss]

[Note: If you leave the dungeon without clearing the dungeon, all the items, coins, XP, and level-up you received within the dungeon would be lost]

[Note: You can log out within the dungeon but only if you are not being chased by a beast or during a battle, PvP is disabled within the dungeon]

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ The notification appeared in front of all the players and most of them looked back including Alex and the portal they came in through was gone meaning they had to kill the dungeon boss to survive.

As the portal was gone only large snow covered-trees remained.

The second rule was also frightening, most people might enter a dungeon and kill some beast then escape, but all the XP and items gained would be lost.

"Have you all seen the rule, working together grants the best chance of leaving here alive, so you can draw your weapons now because wolves are in those woods" Yeti spoke.

All the players immediately began wearing all the equipment they had, and most of them began to scroll through their inventory hoping to see powerful equipment when they didn't have any.

Alex opened his inventory and glanced through the items.

[Inventory]

[Demon's blade - ordinary]

[Level boost - Epic]

[Steel dagger - Rare]

[Light orb - Rare]

[Cloak of invisibility - Rare]

[Potion of healing - Common]

[Leather armor - Common]

[Mask - Common]

'This blade is really strange, items are arranged according to grade but an ordinary blade is at the top...'

Alex's quickly brought out his leather armor from his inventory and wore it on top of his clothes, next he brought out his cloak and covered all his body, then he wore the mask hat he got from Huntress.

Alex finally brought out both of his daggers, he held his steel dagger with his right and the demon blade with his left and he was determined to clear the dungeon.

"Chill bro... it's just a low-level dungeon, you don't have to dress up" a guy laughed as he looked at Alex.

Alex smiled and didn't talk back, the guy was level 8 so in his mind, he was likely to survive the dungeon but none of them knew what was in store for them.
