Chika grabbed Arius's cloak, pulled his head down, and kissed his right cheek, making sure to make the lipstick stain his skin.

Arius's mouth hang open in shock as he didn't expect Chika to kiss him.

"I'M SORRY!!!" Chika yelled before running away as fast as she could before disappearing into the trees.

He just stands there with his eyes and mouth wide open. Arius's hands slowly reached out to his cheeks and touched where Chika kissed him to see the bright shade of red on his fingers.

"What the--" Arius finally snapped to reality as he looked for her but she was nowhere to be found.

His lips moved upward to smile as he turn around to go back to town.

Chika leaned back on the oak tree as she hid from Arius. Her hand was on her heart, feeling the beat that looks like it will pop out due to the aftereffect of what she had done.

"I just ki - kissed him! What have I done!?" Chika grabbed her hair, pulling it painfully as she silently scream because of embarrassment.

Chika clicked the screen while cussing at how childish the artifact gives the quest.

!REWARD

[ITEM: LEATHER POUCH]

TYPE: CONTAINER A POUCH MADE TO CARRY MONEY.

Her eyes bulged upon seeing money on the screen, "MONEY!"

Chika tried to take the money but the artifact kept on rejecting her. Irritated, she shrug it off and went back to do her job.

"So this is the oak tree." She smiled while feeling the calm breeze that hits her skin.

Taking out the key, she looked around at how it will work when it float into the air and transformed into an entrance. A huge white door appeared on the oak tree.

Chika took a deep breath before holding the doorknob, twisting it as the door opened to reveal a long dark hallway.

She was hesitant to enter alone as something might have happened to her but she can't turn around now.

'I need to get stronger.'

The door closed as soon as she steps inside. The feeling of nervousness even increase when she tried to open it and the door is locked.

!ALARM

[THE DOOR WILL OPEN AFTER YOU FINISH THE QUEST OR USE THE EXIT STONE.]

"Okay, okay."

Chika looked at the long hallway, she went and put on her melee weapons to get ready for any attacks.

Her steps echoed as her wolf paw scratched on the ground. The structure of the hallway is like she's inside a tree.

The smell of tobacco hits her nose she can't help but cover her nostrils due to the scent.

After a while, her eyes adjusted to the darkness, and could now see quite well.

Dust particles kept on falling from above and even went to her eyes, "Ouch!"

Chika kept on rubbing her eyes to take the dust away when she heard a chirp from afar, a sound similar to two objects rubbing at each other.

Chika instantly went to an attack stance to prepare herself for any possible monster to come.

1 minute

5 minutes…

There's no monster and the chirp disappeared as well but the feeling of something watching her is still there.

Taking a slow deep breath, Chika started walking again while observing her environment for any possible surprise attack.

Looking at the screen she noticed the 'Store' next to the 'Inventory'. Clicking on that icon revealed different items as well as the money she received from the pouch earlier.

'I see, a reward money from the store.'

She became excited about the things she can buy but only having 50,000 gold coins is too low compared to the prices inside.

"A dagger for 1,000,000 coins! That's ridiculous!" Chika couldn't help but raise her voice because of shock.

Clicking her tongue, she went to browse the store and saw the 'Torch'.

[STORE]

ALL | EQUIP | ACTIVE | INGRED | QUEST

NORMAL TORCH [BUY] 2,500 GOLD

GOLD: 50,000

Without hesitation, she bought the normal torch and it magically appeared in her palm.

"Now, I can clearly see this dark hallway."
