4 Chapter 8
'With great power, there must also come with great responsibility.'
Janus can still remember that line after watching a movie years ago while waiting for his game to update. It was a movie where the male protagonist was bitten by a spider and he became a superhero after that. Janus is still shivering in fear thinking that a hairy eight-legged freak will suddenly bite him. There are disgusting, alright?
But putting the topic about those spiders aside, Janus is now facing a huge problem right now. There is a huge hole on the ground in front of him. When he peeked his head through it, Janus cannot say how deep is that hole he created just now.
Yes. He is the one who created it.
But that was just a pure accident. Janus does not want this to happen too though. He just stomped his foot when he felt something wet touched his skin. It took him by surprise and Janus had to move his foot just to remove that wet feeling on his skin.
But when his foot touched the ground, the floor as well as the wall suddenly moved. Clouds of dust also fell down from the ceilings that are made of bricks. The vines are swinging like pendulums and Janus swears he heard a loud crumbling sound somewhere. Then after that, cracks started to show up on the ground until it created a huge hole on it.
And right now, Janus is still standing next to the huge hole he created. He did not dare to take another step thinking that he may create more destruction other than this. Janus closed his eyes and counted one to ten in his mind. After that, he slowly exhaled before opening his eyes and look at the chaos he created just now.
"Tch. So how am I going to take responsibility for this?" Janus muttered to himself. "Do I need to report it to someone and take all the blame? But wait. I am the owner of this huge place now. Right?"
Janus's frown is getting deeper the more he stares at the hole on the ground. Damn this life. Being OP is a serious thing! He just stomped his foot earlier and this already happened. What's more if he tries to punch the walls around him? Can he make the Rozea Dungeon turned into dust within a minute or two?
[You can do it if that is what you really desire, Janus.]
"Oh shut up. Destroying a perfectly fine dungeon is never a part of my plans."
Janus is just a kilometer away from the room where he came from and he is already having a problem on how to deal with his tremendous power and strength that he never wished to have in the first place. He brushed his long blonde hair upward using his fingers and huffed an air of annoyance. How can he live his new life if he keeps on destroying the things around him? And it is because of his out-of-this-world powers!
This situation is very different from the things he expected earlier. Janus is expecting to discover his newfound powers by means of shooting light beams through his fingers or releasing a bright aura around his body. It was never his intention to destroy this place just to see his abilities.
[Do you need something, Janus?]
"Yeah, sure. If you can reduce my powers then I will surely compliment you again."
Janus said those words sarcastically. He feels so annoyed with his current situation that he wants to do nothing with his system who always answers his endless questions without any fail.
[I can help you put restraints to your strength, Janus. Do you want me to do it?]
"Wait, what? Are you for real?"
[Yes, Janus.]
"You can do that and never told me about it?!"
[You never asked me about it, Janus.]
"Well, shit. Don't you have any initiative or what?"
[I will just respond if you will ask me to help you with anything you need or ask, Janus.]
"That's—"
"Hey, you! Who are you?! Why are you standing near that hole?!"
"What happened to 'Hello. How are you? That's good to hear and I am also doing fine.' kind of shit?" Janus automatically asked. "Why do have to be so aggressive?"
Turning his head, Janus saw a man with a huge body built. He has a lot of scars on his body. Most of them are white and slightly pinkish indicating those were already old scars. The man also has a long scar on his right eyebrow that is covered with his shaggy brown locks.
The man has a poor appearance. His clothes were full of small holes and smudged with grime and dirt. His face is also full of dust and his hair looks like a huge bundle of tangled threads. The most disturbing part of it is the scabbing wound on his neck. Janus cannot imagine how painful and itchy that man can feel with that wound on his neck.
"Why are you still standing there? It's dangerous!" The man shouted at him with his rough voice.
"I know. You do not have to—Huh?"
Out of nowhere, AI001 suddenly showed him the identity profile and status of the huge man who is talking to him.
[NAME: Goliah
OCCUPATION: Blacksmith
TALENTS/SKILLS: Double sword wielder
HP: 45/60
MP: 10/10]
'Hey, AI001.'
[What is it, Janus?]
'Why am I seeing his profile and status?'
[It is also one of your skills, Janus. You will see all of their profiles in just one glance.]
"Oh, wow." Janus blurted out.
When the huge man named Goliah saw Janus did not move and just staring into space, he let out a low growl before hitting the sword he is holding on the wall to create a loud sound. That sound successfully caught Janus's attention.
"Why are you still standing there like a fool? Get away from that place now!" The man shouted at him again.
"Huh? Ah, yeah. Ugh..."
'I will not make another destruction once I step my foot again. Right?'
"Are you getting cold feet now? Tch. Kids these days. Hey kid, wait for me to save you. Okay?" the man named Goliah said to him before he starts looking at the vines hanging on the ceiling. After a minute or two, Goliah nodded his head in satisfaction before looking at Janus again. "Alright. I got this. Wait for me, kid! I will save you!"
"..."
'But I am not in danger though?'
