BXBX NOVEL Chapter 29 - Dexterity.
Loki walked next to Isaac and looked at the card.
His face had an amused smile.
Kornelius with a pale face looked at his own remaining card.
His eyes widened in shock.
Isaac sighed.
The card he chose was...
Joker!
\'\'YES!\'\' Kornelius cheered loudly.
Loki covered his ears and pouted with annoyance.
Kornelius\' body was trembling in ecstasy.
His era is here!
\'\'Hah!\'\' Kornelius laughed, he started walking towards Loki, and since Isaac was on the way, he pushed him to the side.
\'\'Ah.\'\' Isaac fell down on the ground on his butt.
\'Cunt...\' Isaac stood up and patted the dust off his butt.
Kornelius smugly stood in front of Loki.
\'\'I am the winner— give me the Legacy!\'\' Kornelius said impatiently.
Loki tilted his head, and an imaginary question mark appeared on top of his head, \'\'You won?\'\'
Kornelius snorted and nodded, \'\'Obviously, he chose the Joker!\'\'
Loki then exclaimed, \'\'I see now!\'\'
\'\'Give me the Legacy, I don\'t have time for games!\'\'
Loki then innocently smiled, \'\'But you didn\'t win. You lost!\'\'
\'\'What?!\'\' Kornelius roared— he grabbed Loki from his collar and lifted him up from the ground, \'\'He chose the Joker! I am the winner!\'\'
Loki\'s face went cold, \'\'Hands off me, mortal!\'\'
Kornelius heard every nerve in his body screaming, \'Let him go!\'
He took his hand away and retreated a few meters away.
But he was still unwilling, \'\'You said that the one who chose Joker will lose.\'\'
Loki innocently waved his hand, \'\'That was a lie, didn\'t I tell you? The smarter one wins the match.\'\'
\'\'B-But I won! I am the smarter one!\'\' Kornelius screamed with a hoarse voice.
Loki waved his index finger and pointed it towards Isaac, \'\'This cutie chose to do a luck-based match, which was very smart, and you copied him. You didn\'t use your own brains and instead copied your opponent, which means... Isaac won!\'\'
Kornelius gritted his teeth hatefully— he unsheathed his sword and screamed, \'\'I WON!\'\'
\'\'Hmph.\'\' Loki snorted and touched Kornelius\' forehead with his umbrella.
*BOOM*
Kornelius\' body exploded into pixels.
And words [DEAD] appeared.
Just like that.
Kornelius, Level 10 player, died!
Loki turned his head towards Isaac and smiled, \'\'Good job, cutie. You are the winner!\'\'
Isaac wiped his sweat, \'\'You knew that I would win after you chose Kornelius to go first... Why?\'\'
Loki had an even bigger smile on his face, \'\'You are indeed smart. I didn\'t like him— he reminds me of my certain someone!\'\'
\'\'Is this it... Was the Solo Dungeon nothing except this?\'\' Isaac asked.
\'\'This is one-time thing... After this, the Solo Dungeon will become normal, the usual boring Easy Dungeon.\'\' Loki said while swinging his umbrella around his body.
\'\'But now, it\'s time for you to accept or reject my Legacy,\'\' Loki said and tapped the ground with his umbrella.
Messages popped up in front of Isaac.
[Legacy Received!]
[Loki, The God of Mischief, wants you to be his Legacy Carrier!]
[Legacy: The God of Mischief]
[Legacy Rank: Godly]
[Class: Trickster]
[Accept/Reject]
\'\'Class Trickster?\'\' Isaac raised an eyebrow.
\'\'Your class would be changed. Every Legacy has its own class... And some Legacies has Unique Classes.\'\' Loki said with an innocent smile, \'\'It\'s time to choose!\'\'
Isaac looked at the Interface in front of him.
He knew how desperate Kornelius was to get his hands on this Legacy.
Isaac isn\'t dumb— he knows how valuable it is.
No one would reject it.
So, it\'s quite an obvious decision.
To accept.
Isaac pondered for a moment...
And then he pressed.
Loki looked at his decision and was surprised.
Isaac pressed [Reject]
\'\'Why?\'\' Loki asked curiously.
\'\'I don\'t think this Legacy would suit me,\'\' Isaac replied honestly.
Loki looked surprised until he started laughing, \'\'Hahahaha!\'\'
He wiped his tears, \'\'Ahh... You are a funny one. Everyone would sell even their mothers to get this Legacy, but you are indeed different, no wonder that individual is interested in you...\'\'
Isaac raised an eyebrow, but then a message popped up.

__________
Isaac turned his head towards Loki, who was smiling innocently.
\'\'Dexterity stat?\'\'
Loki cheekily smiled, \'\'You know what this means?\'\'
Isaac sighed, \'\'The Legacy was a trap.\'\'
Loki grinned and nodded, \'\'Getting Legacy at Level 10 would break the game\'s balance! You must have known about it already. If you accepted, you would have died, but you rejected and cleared the dungeon, and I gave you Dexterity stat because you impressed me.\'\'
Isaac nodded and looked at the three skills he could choose.
He will choose later, but he was relieved that he was finally Level 10.
*Creak*
Suddenly, the wall behind Loki opened, and a forest became visible with a massive City in the distance!
\'\'This is Starting City Stronglord.\'\' Loki stepped aside, and Isaac could finally see it in its full glory.
But he looked conflicted.
Loki chuckled, \'\'No worries, you will meet your girlfriends later— they are quite important figures after all~\'\'
Isaac snorted, \'\'They are my friends.\'\'
Loki nodded, \'\'Sure sure.\'\'
Isaac rolled his eyes and exited the Solo Dungeon.
Loki followed behind him and inhaled the fresh air.
\'\'Good luck in the journey, cutie,\'\' Loki said, and his figure became transparent until he completely disappeared.
*BAM*
The wall behind Isaac got restored.
Isaac took a deep breath and, with excitement started walking towards Starting City Stronglord!
