Chapter 2: "EXPLOSION!!!!!"
====================
[Norway, Jostedalsbreen Nationalpark, 14:37, 2024, December, 18]
Walking up a snowy mountain a figure with a spear resting on their shoulder.
"Man, I should have gone with a different dungeon…" The figure sighs but keeps moving forward. He was going towards a Dungeon he had found via Heaven's Feel called, 「Ice Palace Under The Mountain」which was a dungeon where Ice Elves, Ice Sirens, and Yetis existed. Arriving in front of a cave he made his way inside it. Upon entering the cave he found himself inside a massive coliseum made of ice.
[You have arrived at Survival-type Dungeon 「Ice Palace Under The Mountain」Number of Waves remaining: 3/3. Enemies remaining: 1/1 Ice Elf Commander, 50/50 Ice Elf Archers, 100/100 Ice Elf Knights, 25/25 Ice Siren Mages, 25/25 Lesser Yetis.]
"Well, I came here to chew ass and kick gum and I'm all out of ass. No wait wrong order. You know what? Never mind…" He says while spitting out a piece of gum. Out of the other gate of the coliseum came the Monsters.
"Here me Human Warrior surrender now or face your demise! I swear in the name of Her Majesty Oleksandra El Cloudis Von Einzvern The Queen Of The Frozen Empire Ickernlamia that you will be given fair treatment should you surrender!" Shouted the Commander at the front of the monsters at him.
"Go fuck yourself Lancelot wannabe," C.C. said to the Commander.
"THEN PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD!" The enraged Commander shouted ordering his troops to attack C.C.
"Oh, blackness shrouded in light…" C.C. chanted as he pointed his crimson spear at the monsters.
"Frenzied blaze clad in night…" A Magic Circle then appears at the tip of the crimson spear and starts expanding in size.
"In the name of the crimson demons, let the collapse of thine origin manifest." The Magic Circle then expands fully and is half the size of the coliseum, the monsters witnessing this start panicking.
"Summon before me the root of thy power hidden within the lands of the kingdom of demise!" The circle starts spinning as the Magic Power density increases within it.
[Boss Monster Oleksandra El Cloudis Von Einzvern The Queen Of The Frozen Empire Ickernlamia appears.] This notification rings out in the dungeon.
"WAIT HUMAN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS!!!" A half-dressed queen(?) suddenly appears and shouts.
"I refuse." He said with a menacing smirk on his face.
Inhaling as much air as possible C.C. shouts at the top of his lungs. "EXPLOSION!!!!!"
Then a loud explosion rings like an atomic bomb had just been set off, and everything within the dungeon save for where C.C. had been standing was annihilated. "WUWAHAHAHAH! I can understand why the Crazy Explosion Girl likes to use this spell so much!" C.C. laughs maniacally at the top of his lungs.
[Survival-type Dungeon 「Ice Palace Under The Mountain」has been cleared. Issuing rewards. Number of participants: 1. Time taken: 24 seconds. Clear Rank: MAX. Reward: 2x Gacha Items(Ice-Attribute)]
"OH FUCK! IS THIS MY PUNISHMENT GOD!? YOU PALE ASS BITCH!?" He shouts and points a finger at the sky(?) as he falls to his knees, and two yellow boxes labeled [UR Item Box: Ice Attribute Edition] appear before him each with a Rainbow Key inserted in them.
"Okay, Cesar you can do this…" He mutters to himself while putting his hands together in a prayer motion.
"I am the bone of my salt… Black Keys are my body… Sodium is my blood… I have created over a thousand rolls… Unknown to luck… Not known to gacha… Have withstood pain to create many sq… Yet, these hands will never hold an ssr… So, as I pray… UNLIMITED SALT WORKS!!!" C.C. prayed as he turned the keys on the boxes with both hands and out of them came a Bow and a Cloak.

"´Let's go! A good pull!" He semi-shouts as he looks at a stringless White Bow with a blue accent in his right hand.

"Ayyyy! Another good one. I'll be using this!" He says looking at the pure white cloak in his other hand. Then lays the bow down and puts on the cloak. "Oya." He says looking at his phone that he once again found(created).

"Welp, that was fruitful. I got in contact with two very important characters in TNE and properly made them repeat customers." Standing up and erasing the throne he made his way out of the cave(not anymore).
"Well, time to get back to the hotel…" He said while stretching.

====================
I'll have to say I think I handled this chapter well. Especially with the chats at the end. Also, I'll be putting at the end of some chapters what has been updated in C.C.'s status when I think it's necessary. Now then let us all pray for C.C.'s rolls in the future so they may be evermore fruitful.
My shitty foreshadowing about how I'm going to wreck C.C.'s with some bad roles because he called me a and I quote: "Pale Ass Bitch". For does of you not in the know: LadyU→Yoo Yeonha, and Yasha→Yi Byul aka Boss
However, I have to say Boshy's name is properly one of the saddest in TNE as Yi Byul means farewell, goodbye, parting, etc. I also did my best to convey her character in the chats like she was in the novel when texting.
Now go listen to "Writing On The Wall" By Will Stetson. CIAO! See ya next chapter!
