154 Searching.

Lucky for me I had checked my status with my ring before I went any further in. I honestly don't think a hero class suits me personally.

"Well you did save me from a dark and gloomy existence. Plus I wanted you to have the best benefits this world has to offer." Death says in my mind while she happily paints her and Sara's toenails.

"Alright well thank you love. What about that god or whatever he can't lock onto my body can he?" I ask her while riding in the carriage I had found.

I had already noticed people coming from the castle to lock down the kingdom before I headed out I just happened to be a bit ahead of them.

"Nope not while you have your ring on which has kind of melded to you so you can't take it off." She says.

"That's fine." I sit back in the carriage and go over my plan. "Hey driver do you mind hurrying up I'll pay you double." I ask the man who was steering.

"You've got yourself a deal!" He whips the horses and they set off at a faster pace.

Behind us at the city the entire area was being locked down with carriages being searched under orders of the pope and the king. The excuse was they were looking for a criminal.

I needed to get to the dungeon while they were searching the city before they sent out guards. I had myself a chuckle at the fact the other hero would be labeled an idiot. I really hate those brainless hero types. The only other hero type I dislike more than that are the 'everyone deserves a chance to live and repent' types who don't kill enemies. Like bitch are you retarded?

Looking over my status plate again there were tons of buffs which kind of frustrated me as I had just got done debuffing myself. I'll figure it out later I suppose.

It didn't take long for us to reach the great dungeon. It didn't look anything like how I expected a dungeon to look like from the outside. It was more like some kind of museum it even had counters where you checked in before you went inside.

I quickly made my way towards one of the male receptionist.

"I need to check your ID sir just to make sure your strong enough to enter the dungeon. With war approaching we don't want more casualties from people exploring the dungeon." He says.

"Ok but let me warn you if you shout out my class or anything I'm going to be pissed I was sent here by the king himself to train secretly." I slide over my Status plate and his eyes widen in shock and he quickly opens his mouth before my hand clamps over it.

"What part of secret training don't you get?" I ask him and he quickly calms down before nodding to me.

"A real hero." He quickly whispers before waving me into the dungeon.

I quickly make my way inside this strange dungeon. I had already put on my new gear in the carriage. I had my adult body back and was already wearing my jonin gear. Short sleeve shirt black with a vest also black that had pockets for my items it also had an attachment for a combat knife that Fluer had sewn on for me. I had a waist pouch which had some medical items and food pills in it. And a thigh pouch filled with throwing knives. I had closed toed special shoes since I don't like my feet or toes being out in any combat situation not to mention where there could be snakes or marshes or things like that which I knew there were. Over my shoulder was a standard ninjato.

Making my way in it was all stone and granite were pretty dark except for glowing stones lining the walls which lit up everything.

I soon encountered my first enemy. It kind of looked like a bipedal rat and they were quickly scurrying out of cracks in the walls and running at me.

"Gross you guys better not have fleas or lice or something." I say whipping some throwing knives at a few in the front causing them to trip and make their friends behind them fall. There's a squelching noise as they hit throat or eyes. Got to say throwing things at monster to kill them is cool.

I reach over my shoulder and pull out my blade sidestepping the first Rat monster and slashing the blade across the back of its neck. I had spent years training with goblins in blades, years watching Kushina train kenjutsu and these rats were just garbage first floor mobs. The only thing they had going for them was numbers.

I quickly carve a path through the mass of dirty creatures. "Even if I know I can gain stats or whatever by eating those thing at the cost of pain. There's no fucking chance that's happening."

Technically monster meat was inedible as it causes massive damage to the body but it also helps increase your power if you can live through it. I could indeed live through it but I wasn't going to event attempt it. A few stat points to eat some dirty rat and suffer in pain? No thanks.

With a stab to a throat or stomp to a downed opponent I quickly made my way down the first floor. I have been professionally trained this poses zero threat to me.

After a few hours of progressing through nasty dogs and lizard men and other shitty monsters I heard a noise behind me. I was about at the 20th floor and standing on a bridge.

"Quickly we have to find the Hero if not the king will have our heads." There was clanging of armor and weapons. I saw a bunch of knights round a corner and come running at me.

"There he is!" One of the knights shouts pointing at me. "Halt by order of the king!"

I just gave him a smile. "Get fucked nerd." And hopped over the side of the bridge into the dark abyss below.
