Training grounds

"Hey Julian, I saw something in the book you gave me that has intrigued me."I imply.

"What is it? I'll try to help if I can." Julian responded

"It mentions there being a demon king but it says there is only one. Doesn't that mean it's not a dungeon boss since no other dungeons have a demon king?" I asked.

"Oh, that if you saw what's written at the top, it says gate exclusive, which is slightly different from a normal dungeon. Gates do not force monsters out they can choose to come out on there own because normal dungeons take away the creatures food supplies attracting them to come out.

Gates do not get rid of food supplies so they don't have to invaid us they also gradually get bigger in size there have only been three gates discovered around the world people have entered but never conquered a Gate that's how we found out about the demon king. Currently, the three gates are located in russian china and america, theres been no survivors from the Russian gate, so we don't know what lies inside." Julian explained. I then went to bed reading a hefty amount of the book. A few days pass by after training. I feel a hard object hit me in the head as I wake up.

"Ouch! What was that for." I yell at Julian

"You looked at me creepy dude your eye was open, and you were smiling with fangs!" Julian says, and so I quickly go to the bathroom and look at the mirror. Half of my teeth now are razor-sharp. (I seriously hope this doesn't progress anymore it's as if there's another person in this body of mine.)

"Hey, nux, get ready to leave for training. This is the last day. Remember, you'll be fighting Trex and Frank today."  Julian said ehike we took our leave to the training ground. " We soon arrived Julian and Piro on standby.

"Get ready set fight!" Julian yelled as soon as she did.

I focused on making myself angry quickly, thinking about the death of people close to me. Trex summoned ice at my feet, imparing my movement as Frank charged and hit me with his shield, knocking me back.

I quickly get up and charge yowards Trex (If I get rid of the mage hell have no support.)

As I run towards Trex, Frank throws his shield at me bashing me in the head and I fall. He then rushes at me with his sword. I swiftly get on one hand and knee turn and swing my elbow blade, destroying Frank's wooden sword. Then I swing my leg at his ribs, sending him further away.

"Argh!" I yell in pain. (Did he tense his body? I broke my leg, kicking him.) I limp towards Trex as he relentlessly sends spells towards me.

"Fireball! Lighting ball!" Trex yells while running out of mana and panting. The fireball misses. However, the lightning shocks me. My leg now fully healed. I run towards him and punch him across the head, knocking him out. I fall to the ground, calming down my fingers and other body parts.

"Great job, Nux, you've won. I'd say you're the second strongest person in the group now apart from me." Julian says while Piro heals the others' injuries.

"Now, since everyone has had a decent training session, let's stop by the guild to get more information about the dungeon for tomorrow." After the group was healed, we headed into the guild. A young boy wearing a tank top with a prosthetic arm and verticle pupiles is staring at me very hard right now. (What is up with him? Do they let kids in here?) Julian then walks out of the guild masters office with a sheet of paper.

"Alright, let's go. we'll talk about the dungeon in the car." Julian tells us. We get into the car, and Frank starts driving.

"According to the paper, it's an event dungeon, meaning we have a specific objective. Some monsters it says we can encounter are orcs and gnolls." Julian tells the team.

"How do they find out what kind of dungeon it is?" I ask

"You can easily enter a dungeon and tell right away you can leave anytime. However, the deadline of a week stays the same, so someone entered the dungeon to get the information." Julian replied.

"That teminds me there was this strange kid staring at me in the guild. They let kids become hunters?" I ask, curious.

" Oh you must be talking about Oliver his parents died in a dungeon outbreak and the guild master took him in he's only thirteen but has excellent combat skills thats how he became a team captain what's strange however is that his prostetic arm regrows its quite perculure." Julian answered as Frank dropped us off at home. I go to the door with Julian and start to unlock it.

"Is that Nux? Are you home?" A slithery voice came from inside. I rushed in with Julian (Is it a robber?) A scaley figure with two heads is sitting on the coach.

"I--Is that you Wiggly?" I ask nervously.

"Oh yes, I've been waiting for you two to come home it turns out I've evolved, isn't that great." Wiggly says ecstatic. (That's quite odd. Wasn't I told that Wigglers evolve into dangerous beings?) I look over to Julian, her eyes widen with shock and surprise.

"I'm assuming this isn't normal?" I asked Julian

"Not at all evolved Wigglers are very hostile creatures with two heads usually wielding a spear of sorts. However, this is good we don't have to worry about his evolution anymore." Julian replies

"Well, I'm glad your evolution went smoothly, but I'm a little upset that I. Won't have my little friend laying on my lap anymore, heh." I tell Wiggly.

"Oh, that's not a problem. I can go back into my small snake form. I will just have two heads, though." Wiggly tells me. We then casually talked for a while. turns out he could always understand me. He just couldn't talk back until he evolved.

"Well, you'll still have to stay home tomorrow when we go to the dungeon, alright." I tell Wiggly he nods and I head to bed Wiggly went back to his small form to sleep on the coach. The next morning me and Julian get picked up by Frank and we head to the dungeon.

"Don't be nervous, guys. we've practiced for this even if it's our first C rank dungeon." Julian tells the group as we arrive. Julian hands the guards the paper work and we enter the new dungeon a place unknown to all of us.
