Still, among all of them, many players agreed on one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Wild Ruins] was considered the easiest dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that reputation came with a massive condition: most players chose the easiest difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon slowly approached the entrance of the ruins. The structure itself looked ancient, built from massive stone blocks covered in worn-down runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time had eroded their edges, yet the dungeon still radiated a heavy, oppressive aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Leon stepped close enough, a translucent panel appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Which difficulty do you wish to choose?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Easy] [Normal] [Hard]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon stared at the options without moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above [Hard], there technically existed even higher difficulties like [Hell] and [Nightmare].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no one could actually challenge them at this stage, and they weren’t even available in this dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in Leon’s past life, no matter how talented or confident someone was, they were forced to choose [Normal] or [Hard]. There simply wasn’t another option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dungeon system itself was unforgiving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level of the monsters inside the [Wild Ruins] never changed. No matter the difficulty, they were all level 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What changed was everything else: their strength, combat power, durability, and more importantly, their intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On higher difficulties, monsters didn’t just hit harder. They fought smarter. They coordinated, reacted faster, and punished mistakes mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon knew all of this very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never once heard of any human clearing the [Hard] difficulty of the [Wild Ruins]. It was simply too overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Leon wanted to be the first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rewards would be far better, both in terms of drops and experience. Clearing [Hard] would widen the gap between him and everyone else by an absurd amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The usual recommended combat power for entering the [Wild Ruins] on [Easy] difficulty was around 1,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For [Normal], it jumped to about 1,500. And for [Hard], 2,500 at the very least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s current combat power was slightly above 2,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, he didn’t meet the requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gotta risk it,\" Leon grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level Leaderboard:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1.

Compared to his past life, this was incredibly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time around, nobody had suffered the massive penalty that came from losing the opening event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without that setback, overall progression skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, none of that mattered. Leon was still far ahead of everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once he cleared the [Wild Ruins], the gap would only grow wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitating any longer, Leon extended his arm and pressed his finger against the [Hard] option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The panel shimmered briefly as his selection registered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wild Ruins (Hard Difficulty) has been selected.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Leon stepped forward, his surroundings distorted. The entrance vanished, replaced by swirling colors as space itself twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vortex swallowed him whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, his feet touched solid ground again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon found himself inside the [Wild Ruins].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber around him was enormous. Stone walls rose high above, carved with glowing runes that pulsed faintly with energy. He stood in the middle of a circular platform, its surface engraved with ancient patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several stone bridges extended outward from the platform, each leading deeper into the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below them flowed a river of thick crimson liquid. It moved slowly, almost lazily, but Leon felt an instinctive sense of danger just from looking at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of finding out what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dungeon’s challenge could vary depending on difficulty, but since no additional panels appeared, Leon guessed this was a straightforward dungeon: reach the end and defeat the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon calmly walked toward one of the bridges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stepped onto it, the stone beneath his feet felt solid, but the oppressive atmosphere intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As expected,’ Leon thought while crossing, ’the dungeon layout changes depending on the difficulty.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Easy] and [Normal] versions of the [Wild Ruins] were almost identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Hard] version was completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Leon reached the end of the bridge—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud noise echoed through the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone floor ahead cracked, and several massive figures began rising from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ruins Golem]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level: 10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Combat Power: 1,500]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Details: Golems created by a powerful being, they have been in these ruins for a long time.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five golems stood in front of him, completely blocking the path forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies were made of solid stone, each one towering over Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks ran along their frames, glowing faintly with inner heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where their faces should have been, hollow openings burned with small, flickering flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood perfectly still, like statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Trying to throw me in there?’ Leon grinned while glancing at the crimson river behind him. ’Won’t work.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each golem had terrifying combat power for its level. Any one of them could rival the [Fire Lizard] boss Leon had just defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing five at once would have been impossible for most players. But Leon wasn’t most players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strong Fireball!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and launched a massive fireball forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion slammed into the center golem, sending fragments of stone flying and disrupting the formation of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon surged forward instantly. His [Flame Tail Sword] flashed as he struck the closest golem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golem’s head shattered completely from the force of the blow, its body collapsing lifelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon didn’t stop. He pivoted and swung at another golem. This time, the remaining golems reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive rocky fist came crashing down toward Leon. He twisted his body and leapt back, narrowly avoiding the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least he was no longer on the bridge. Falling was no longer an immediate threat. Unless they grabbed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that seemed to be exactly what they were trying to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of throwing punches, the golems lunged forward, arms outstretched, attempting to seize Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps throwing things into that liquid fuels something,\" Leon muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vision Enhancement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His perception sharpened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movements of the golems slowed in his eyes, making their intentions obvious. Leon dodged between them with precise steps, slipping past grasping stone hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning Strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bolt of lightning slammed into one of the golems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The electricity danced across its stone body, but it didn’t even flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right,\" Leon clicked his tongue. Stone wasn’t exactly conductive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strong Fireball!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fired another spell. The explosion was violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two golems were blasted apart, their bodies shattered into chunks of stone. They weren’t destroyed completely, but their forms were heavily damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two golems rushed Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon met them head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single swing of his sword, he shattered one’s torso. Another swing reduced the second to rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though their combat power was close to his own, Leon’s experience, reflexes, and skill put him far above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon turned toward the last two golems, their broken bodies twitching on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, ready to finish them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden explosion shook the chamber. Leon froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shattered remains of the two golems began to tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a minute,\" Leon’s eyes widened slightly. \"No way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone fragments lifted into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two broken bodies began pulling toward each other, merging together as cracks sealed and energy surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piece by piece, they fused into a single, towering mass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah... of course,\" Leon sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ruins Golem (Mutated)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level: 10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Combat Power: 1,900]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Details: Two golems fusing with one another to create a stronger being.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon had just witnessed a mutation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rare, but not unheard of.

A shockwave rippled outward, shaking the chamber and rattling the bridges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon tightened his grip on his sword.
