9 Chapter 8: Rescued

I flinched as I looked back to see two men behind me. They looked like a couple of villains as they sneered down at me.

Why did it have to be now that I run into bastards like these?

"What's this?" One guy, he has a darker skin tone and a tall and buff build, snatches my ID card from my hand.

He turns it to show it to his shorter friend, he has pale skin tone and a small muscular build.

"Level 1? Man so you a newbie?" The other guy says snickering.

"Give it back." I tell them.

The taller guy sneers at me, his aura filled with malicious intent. This guy, he had a higher level than me.

"Or what?" He asked tossing the ID to his friend.

I try to reach for it but the friend tosses it back. The tall guy then held the ID over his head as he grins down at me.

I clenched my fist, but if I made a move here I'll probably just get beat up by them.

"Ohhh, look she's scared! Ha ha! Man you look creepy as fuck!" The shorter guy holds his belly as he laughed.

Dammit, I'm too weak!

A tall shadow towers over the two behind them.

I looked up to find a more ferocious glare and a hint of a predator's gaze.

"Didn't she say to give it back?" The man asked the tall guy, he now held the man's arm above his head.

His grip tightens about the guys wrist making the ID fall to the floor.

"Ahhg! Let me go! It hurts?" The tall man screams in pain.

The sound of bone breaking could be heard just a bit.

The man finally let's go and the dark shadow vanished to reveal a very good-looking stranger.

He had fierce facial features, a huge muscular build, and his chin-lengthened shiny white hair reminded me of the moon.

Despite the fact that he wore useless armor and held a low level sword, I can tell this guy was strong.

"What the fuck, man! You broke it!" The tall man screams as he holds his wrist with tears in his eyes.

"What's you do to my brother!" The short man took a defensive stance, gripping his weapon tightly as he glared at the stranger.

I think they had death wishes since he towered over them, my guess was at least 195 centimeters.

"Is it me or the security here is lacking? Bunch of losers picking on a helpless girl like this." A tall girl says stepping from behind the good-looking stranger.

She was really pretty, with gentle facial features, fiery red hair in a ponytail, and a slim figure. She had slightly better equipment than the stranger as well.

The guys seemed to have been afraid when security was mentioned and finally sauntered off.

The girl picked up my ID and handed it back to me, "you okay?" She asked smiling sweetly in my direction.

I could practically feel the gaze of an angel shining down on me, "yes, thank you." I tell her shyly.

I was surprised by the fact that neither of them seem fazed by my appearance, perhaps they rather not be rude?

The girl waved at me as they walked away to leave the building.

It doesn't matter how they react, I'm glad they helped me out just then.

"Next!"

Ah it's finally my turn.

I noticed though, that despite the noise no one seemed to have cared or paid any attention to what had just happened.

The world is really cruel.

"I would like to register for a Solo Rank (E) dungeon." I tell the clerk once I stepped forward.

He looked at me with an awkward smile, "sorry player but the only Rank (E) dungeon left is a team dungeon." He says.

I cringed a bit. I really didn't want to get involved with any other players in my current state.

"Are you sure? Can you look again?" I asked feeling pretty desperate.

"I'm positive. unfortunately we only had one Rank (E) dungeon appear today." The clerk answered handing over the map to the dungeon.

I sigh, looks like it's a dungeon with a requirement of 3 players. I guess it's better than nothing.

"Alright, I'll register for it. About the other players in my group, are there any more information on them?" I asked.

The clerk begins to type and then finally shook his head, "sorry, the players in the group requested that their profiles be private." He answers.

"Alright then." I mutter playing the map into my inventory slot and leaving the building.

Outside a small black car waited, a woman with large breast and short brown hair leaned against the car.

She seemed to be studying her phone before she became aware of my presence.

She jumps when she sees me, "Oh jeez, you scared me. Are you Player Anae Song?" she asked.

I nod.

"Okay, well I'm your escort today. Please get in the back seat." She instructs climbing into the driver's seat.

I did as told and buckled in, while she drove I took another look at the map to the dungeon.

It was more of a way to keep me distracted from the overbearing silence on the way to my destination.

At the same time, I'm a bit nervous to meet the other players joining me on this dungeon raid.

I hope their nice people.
