'I get it! I get it already so stop blinking in front of me'. I wanted to shake off the system screen as it continued showing the spider's stats to me.
"Ahhhhh! I don't taste good!"
"I'm not an insect!"
"Go away! Shoo! Shoo!"
"Ahhhh!"
The girl beside me was keeping shouting and shouting. But the tarantula was just getting closer and closer.
It moved inch by inch to us. I tried my hardest to shake off my hands from this shitty web.
Damn! This thing won't come off.
I kept looking at what item I could use!
[Item list:
Fairy Tears
Fairy chains
Sleeping dust
Magic mask
Fairy white stone
Invisible mantle
Flying Magic Carpet
Fairy BAMBAM
Rampulstilskin Golden Thread]
None, there was nothing I could use. Should I just use a Fairy BAMBAM?
Of course not! We were in a close space. We will certainly get buddy-buddy with the blast!
Sleeping dust was out of the question either. We can't wear a magic mask after all both of our hands are stuck.
We would also inhale its dust and fall asleep. Or that could be my last option if I wanted a nice death without pain. We didn't have more time to waste.
"Open Fairytale shop"
[Fairy Tale Shop
Current coin balance: 10 golds 20 ssc
Available items...]
'Ah. Why am I such a wastrel?! This is freaking nuts! I don't have much time.'
"Via help me...asghdjfkejk."
{{I'll have delicious dinner tonight lalala🎶}}
I heard the tarantula's voice as she was spinning up Frea. She was freaking singing and it sounded damn good.
'This tarantula might become a famous idol in the spider clan since she was speaking spider language? and I'm the only one who can understand her? But I wonder do spiders have an idol system?'
'Or she could join x-factor?'
'An image of the spider with sunglasses all over her eyes popped into my mind as it sang on a stage with spiders all over the area shouting and cheering for her (if that is possible?). Simon would probably become shocked beyond words with this.'
'Crap. I shook my head. I'm thinking nonsense again.'
As I spoke now, Frea was currently being spin by the tarantula now, covering her whole body with a web! The tarantula continued singing.
Imagine what happened to the Lord of the ring, the return of the king movie! When the handsome boy whose name I forgot, had been coiled by the spider web! That was what happening to Frea right now.
Damn! Thank goodness she was the first chosen prey! Now it was being quiet. But the coiling would be done soon.
I scrolled with my eyes the items with the shop that a measly 10 golds 20 ssc can afford and could be helpful.
Please! Anything. I continued scrolling down. Until...
This?! This could work!
"System I will buy this!"
I shouted with all my might as I look to the tarantula that already finished its work of art to Frea. It was making its way towards me.
"Bring it out system!"
A golden ball drop in the ground.
[Golden ball of the frog's lover ver. 7.0 -
Hi, there fellas! This is the new and latest model of the famous frog's lover creation!

(P.S. it needs to be dropped at all costs but it would be much better if it is accidental!)
Stock remaining in the shop: 10/12
Number of your purchase: 1
Currently own: 1 ]
Can it be considered to accidentally drop? I didn't really have my hands to use, catch, or throw it.
Please work! If it was like in the novel Journey to End. Whatever appeared there will be absolutely a help to us.
"Wahhh! Shoo! Shoo!" The spiders' legs started to touch my feet!
{{I will really have a feast tonight 🎶 lalala🎵}}
"Yeah. I already know. You'll have a freaking feast!"
I looked back at the ball! It was starting shaking! A gust of wind also began to surround it! Was it working?! Yes! Yes! Yes!
The tarantula halted the coiling. All its eight eyes looked at the golden ball.
It moved a few inches away from me as it became wary of something.
I winced from the dust particles that flying around. Then a blinding golden light started erupting from the ball that I can't help but close my eyes.
As soon I opened my eyes again, two bright orange eyes were staring closely at me.
"Are you the one who summons me?" He said with a polite voice.
"I-I'm not."
He raised his left brow as it looks at me.
"Then who summons me?" He still spoke in a well-mannered voice.
"There's a girl inside that web! She-she is the one who summons you before she completely becomes mummified!"
'Frea, sorry not so sorry. Well, this is all your fault, to begin with! So I would reward this one to you.'
"I see."
<<Is she lying or not? Well, it's fine. It would be annoying to have someone ugly like her a contractor. I hope the one talks about looks>>
'An irk mark formed in my head if that is even possible. Ugly? Why all I met so far, always comment on my looks! If I may say I'm not creepy, ugly, or too much pretty. Just a little above average with decent looks!'
He moved forward and with the small light coming from a small hole in the tunnel we're in. I finally saw his whole figure.
My goodness. Of all the twelve I could summon in that ball, it's this guy!
"So what did she want me to do?"
A huge black lizard was fully shown.

Since I entered this cave, all I've been seeing are crazy stats of monsters (●__●). Remembering that he asked something. I opened my mouth to speak.
"Isn't obvious? Of course to free and save us from here." I said with all my might letting all out of my frustrations.
With my answer, he slowly back away.
He then made a position to jump. In an instant, the webs sticking with me were all gone as I fell on the ground face flat.
'That hurts!'
As I stood up, I didn't have time to recover as an incoming spider was being thrown in my direction.
{{Ahh! My food! Don't take it a-way-way way! 🎵}}
Even in its scream, it still had a tune!
That damn lizard! I immediately dodged to the right side as the spider hitted the walls of the tunnel.
*boogsh!*
"You stu..." I wanted to retort but never mind that for now.
He stood in front of me in an instant. He was super duper tall! With silky black scales and piercing orange eyes looking straight at me. I remember Godzilla with him. Though this one was more like the smaller version.
Between his arms, he was carrying the mummified Frea.
"I already save both of you, so I should get my reward now." He finally said. He carefully brought down Frea in front of me and started unwebbing her.
I calmed my nerves before I speak. "Talk to her whenever she wakes up. But until that can I ask for your assistance for now. If you don't know we are currently in a mission and in a dungeon at that, we still don't know if we will be safe 'till the end."
"A mission?" He made a motion in the air. It seemed he was looking at his system.
"I see. So you're in that quest. But I'm impressed that you found another way to enter the tower (he is talking about Rapunzel). Then this world must be earth." He said as he finally finished removing all the web. But currently, Frea was still unconscious.
"It's pure luck." I held Frea's wrist to check her pulse. It seemed she just fell asleep. She will be fine.
"So do we have a deal?" I said as I stood up again and raised my right hand towards him. He pondered for a moment though I could hear his thoughts clearly.
<<Since the one who summoned me is still sleeping, then I need to ensure her safety first plus this woman here looks like friend, it might get complications later if don't assist either. Fine, let's accept deal. have anything do since am here.>>
"I accept the deal, I'll assist both of you until this mission is over. But so do you know I have some restrictions for this low leveled quest." He finally said after thinking long and accepted my hands.
"It's fine by me. Thanks for your cooperation." I glanced back at the golden thread. "Let's go now then. We have delayed so much time now.
I followed the golden thread once again. And thankfully, everything was quiet since the lizard was not really much that talkative which is fine. There were also no monsters that we encounter on the way.
After an hour of many more turns, I finally reach the destination. We were now currently standing in front of a door made of green emeralds. In the middle of it were 12 handprints. Two were already colored red. While the others were still color white.
Thankfully, I still got here first. I really didn't like the idea of being last, that just cause more scene and attention.
And if I'm late and someone entered first. I will be in trouble. I will lose the chance to save the children.
I put my right hand to the next handprint besides the red ones. A red laser light scanned my hand.

[Calculating Rewards...]
[Congratulations you level up!]
[Congratulations you level up!]
I smiled as I peered at the multiple screens popping non-stop in front of me. 'Heh. This is just what I wanted.'
[*ding!* You may now enter the room]
The monkey also pressed his hands to the lock along with the unconscious Frea.
The huge door opened before me.
Lines from Journey of End came to my mind again.
|||The system pops out as Rey pressed one of his hands on the lock.

Second Condition: Locate the long golden-haired princess room and occupy one of its locks succeeded!"]
It's finally here. Rey thought as he stares at the huge door made of pure emerald glass in front of him.
He felt excited at the same time worried. But he firmed his self telling that this is only the beginning- J.O.E |||
So this is what might Rey feels when he opened this door.
|||Once you enter the room, each group would be sent to these different places.
1. The Eternal day
2. The magical garden
3. The kingdom of ruins
First is the Eternal Day...-J.O.E|||
"So this place is the Eternal Day. A very vibrant place with one small hut in the middle of it," I spoke the exact words in the novel as my gaze fixed on one place.
This place had never been reached by neither Rey nor Argaux since it's a first come first basis to enter each dimension.
As what in the novel stated some extras entered first. But it never mentioned that much about whether they make it out or not since the novel focused more on Rey and Argaux scenes.
This is the other reason why I went to the shortcut tunnel.
If I didn't, I might never see the kids until the fourth quest. And it will be too late for that.
The door behind us, immediately closed as all of us step in.
The kids were surely inside that hut.
[Quest Time remaining: 48:34:28]
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Meanwhile, after an hour when Via's group entered the room, we will be back at a certain duo...
"Why have we tied again?" Paul asked Dina as they were being pulled by Argaux.
"Hmm. It's because we got caught remember?" Dina said as she rolled her eyes.
"Aw yeah hahaha." Paul awkwardly laughed.
Then their movements halt. They look to their front and were amazed by the beautiful green emerald door they see.
"So Argaux, since we are here, why don't we cooperate with each other?"
Rey said. His group has reached the emerald door.
But Argaux just walked passed to Rey and put his hands on one of the locks.
A screen popped out in front of Argaux.
[Congratulations you may now enter the room!]
