Scylla adorned a maid's outfit and she carried a small wooden bucket and a white cloth.
Jack knew it was her at first sight since she didn't really change her appearance.
She dropped the bucket beside the bed and she sat on a creaky wooden chair. Dipping the cloth in water, she started to rub the wet cloth on Jack's head.
He didn't do anything to stop it because he didn't even understand what was happening. After a minute, Scylla dropped the cloth into the bucket and Jack thought she was leaving already but she didn't even move.
After five minutes, ten minutes then fifteen minutes, Jack's patience ceased to exist as he finally succumbed to the urge to peek a bit.
He opened his eyes a bit and then he saw Scylla's flushed face very close to him. She was too close for comfort!
Seeing Jack's eye movement she thought he was waking up and she quickly withdrew her face but he didn't, he continued to 'sleep'.
Jack closed his eye and he decided to play along but he regretted his decision in the next second.
A finger landed on his chest and he remembered that he wasn't wearing his shirt when he woke up. The finger went about in circles and then went up and touched his lip.
Then he felt a little movement again and then... he felt someone on top of him and her two mounds landed on his chest.
It took every ounce of his self control to not get flushed and he couldn't deny he was enjoying it. Scylla moved a bit and he felt the mountains rub his chest and then he heard a chuckle.
"Nice try Jack, I know you're awake."
Jack stiffened up. He was at a loss fkr words as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Scylla's face. She was smiling in a dangerously seductive way.
He pushed her off him and he shifted up the bed in shame.
"Scylla I-"
"Nevermind about that." Scylla replied, still smiling.
"...."
The atmosphere was awkward–at least for Jack. His mind was in shambles and he was looking for another subject.
"First of all, why are you here?" he asked.
"Well, after you fell from the sky, you landed in this villages' market and destroyed some goods. You didn't wake up since then and the village's chief gave me a quest to take care of you since you had a slight fever." she answered truthfully.
"I see, but where are we?"
Scylla's smile vanished and a frown took it's place.
"Dreadmaw village. We're just at the bottom of Dreadmaw peak."
"Care to explain?"
"Of course. Hmm... Where to start?"
"Just start from anywhere."
"Okay~ So, this planet is still earth and there is only one kingdom and twenty four dukedoms. It's a magic and mana oriented world.
Let's just say, it's one of your normal cliché adventurer worlds though some things are original. The King is called Felbian Zeus I, the first of his name and there's are two queens and 3 princes and 2 princess'."
She paused a bit as she saw Jack taking everything in. There was a minute of silence until Jack killed it.
"I wonder why they couldn't just give us an orientation before we started playing." he thought out loud.
"They did, didn't you apply? It was on the page where everyone applied."
"A-ah, that yes..."
"You didn't read it did you?"
"...."
"Anyways, there was a war eighty-nine years ago between all the gods and demigods of all heaven clans. Everyone in this kingdom is a descendant of Zeus but the royal family has the purest blood. There were four great dragons back then bit they were all sealed by the dungeon master, Sevokovo Ryouki in four dungeons. The lore says he's in slumber as doing that took a great chunk of his strength.
Those dragons were, Surtr–the fire dragon, Khulum–the water or ice dragon, Indra–the lightening dragon and the worst of them all, Drake–the dreadmaw dragon. The last of his kind.
Dreadmaw dragons are known for their ability to control space. They are snake like and could even eat things bigger then them. According to the story, he's some prophecy child that will swallow the world and shit it out, making it new and purified of evil."
"What the-" Jack started but he paused.
'Eat the world and shit it out?'
"I'm not done yet. He was sealed in this dungeon and over time his Mana has started to leave him and surround the area. A forest grew around the village and a mist surrounded it. No one is able to go out or come in. The only way to get out is by entering the dungeon and defeating Drake and the other monsters that were sealed with him."
"This is a newbie village right?" Jack inquired.
"Yes, of course."
"Well, damn. We're fucked."
"Sigh, my cute Jack has lost his innocence. He's swearing now." Scylla said with some fake tears spilling down her eyes.
"Like you're one to talk. Weren't you the one who said 'For fuck's sake...'." Jack replied, not buying the act.
The sad look on Scylla's face vanished and it became a pout.
"Meanie."
The two of them bust out in laughter and a minute after they stopped, there was an awkward silence until Jack cracked it open.
"Say, what happened to you and your family after my grandmother took me to this city." Jack inquired.
"I want to hear all of it."

Powerstones target has increased
10 powerstones = 1 bonus chapter.
Also, last week, Zvery was the first person to drop powerstones and as promised he'll get a character in the book. He wished for someone strong so his character will be coming later in the story.
I don't intend on bringing out strong people now.
Thanks for reading.
