Chapter 8 - the fortress in the Redlands
As the world evolved, many species from different worlds started immigrating to tetra as it was more comfortable, due to the sudden influence of these creatures many portals to other worlds randomly started opening, these portals were called dungeons, the dungeons were ranked as this
1. G
2. F
3. E
4. D
5. C
6. B
7. A
8. AA
9. AAA
9. S
10. SS
11. SSS
With G being the lowest and SSS being the highest, a person needs to be at least a martial apprentice or apprentice mage to enter a G ranked dungeon even then they should be supervised and go with a team of ten members
In one of the G rank dungeons a kid was seen lying on the ground the kid was of course Lucifer who acted as the knight in shining armor for Alexis and was stuck in the dungeon
Until a red donkey-like creature came and started licking his face,
"Five more minutes mom" as he said he opened his eyes to be met by the donkey-like creature,
"AAAHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed and got up which caused the donkey to run away in fear,
"Where in the nine hells am I ?" He asked himself and got up to check his surroundings only to be met with the scenery of a red sky, a red forest, red land, and in the distance, a large fortress standing tall,
"Okay what the f*ck is going on, the last thing I remember is going in that shitty portal to save Alexis, ahhhh! I hate this I must be in one of those things called dungeons by the size of the door-sized portal it must have been a G rank, wait! I can just get out through the portal" Lucifer said as he turned around
only to be met by the same red forest,
"Great, why did I even think my life is going to be straightforward and easy of course I have to be some protagonist of some shitty novel, what should I do now," he asked himself irritated,
"Wait if my memory is correct, then if I beat the boss of the area where the dungeon opened then another portal leading back to earth should open, now where can I find the boss "
As he said so his eyes drifted off to the fortress,
*sigh*
"Of course, it has to be there why did I even ask " as he sighed and said he started walking toward the fortress
Once he got close enough he saw a giant gate,
"Well I don't suppose it will automatically open itself for me"
Just as he was about to search for another way in the door opened by itself,
"Wow I guess Europeans were the first to invent automatic doors," he said and chuckled to himself as he got inside
He saw a garden wonderfully managed and then he got close to the door of the fortress then he opened it and got inside what greeted him was the light of candles the purple mattress on the floor and the white walls and ceiling,
"Well I guess nobody's home, let's see in RPG games the boss is on the highest level, and mobs will spawn randomly so I got finish this fast, well then let's get started "
As he said this and was about to move a familiar voice sounded in his head

Lucifer was startled for a second but then smiled to himself,
"Seems like even the system is telling me to massacre all these knights, but what is a title used for system". He asked
[A title works as what humans call an inheritance power]
Lucifer widened his eyes an inheritance power is a type of element that is acquired by either killing a God beast or above, inherited from the ancestors, or when a beast left its power to someone else through their own will, and some times people randomly awaken It,
" hell yeah! I just need to clean this dirty place and I get a free inheritance you got it system" he said as he went inside

" I see so one point to vitality is five points in hp, okay time to get back to work "
As he said so he kept on hunting for knights
At the same time on the topmost floor of the fortress, a knight in black armor was sitting on a throne it had nothing inside its armor except its soul and two crimson eyes
It was looking at the door of the floor as if yearning for something
