Indiana Crown

Those four days were full for Luke.

Wake up at seven o'clock to prepare breakfast and a little lunch for school, before departing from the house and arriving at school for eight o'clock.

After the study session that takes at least eight hours per day, return home to clean, do the homework and farming exp at the dungeon for only a few hours before sleeping. Or maybe pass time with Lean going here and there... and returning home to clean and etc.etc...

In those days, his job actually went to level 4, but it was probably remaining here, because of the big 500 exp that block the passage for the level 5.

Actually, the hour remaining for him to 'dungeoning' aren't few, but the problem relies upon that endless plain. Only to go from monster to monster, took about thirty minutes, and there are cases whereby going in an isolated zone took also time to return or search for others.

Also, only for extra info, [Observe] leveled up to 10, and [Material Dungeon Maker] gained also 1 level.

Now, [Observe] tell a bit more of info and now isn't completely useless... apart from finding devils.

"Phew... those days aren't physically exhausting, but mentally...."

Obviously, forever repeating the same days, and going to sleep a bit late helped to stress Luke, and although not necessary, a relaxing time is surely not going to be wasted.

"By the way, I can go to do a bit of sport here and there tomorrow, as it's Saturday and I am free. Doing this, I can also measure how I'm doing with my body."

In this Scottish Island, the population is low, but as often tourists spend their vacation here, the economy here is great. Also, from time to time, the floating plates dropped pounds, and as the inventory has a money system, there's the change free of charges, so money is not more in his problems' list.

There are quite a few numbers of activities one can do to relax or only for a hobby.

"But, I didn't go in any of those... I can also call Luan for info at this point... Haaa, why didn't my Gamer Power have a Map functi-"

And at this exact moment, another blue screen appeared in his vision. But different from the others as there weren't words, but imagines as they were taken from a game to reconstruct a town...

Yes, It was the map of all of the islands, and it contained all the streets, shops and people.

It was complete...

"No, there's a black space in the south... and it's more or less near the climbing center..."

There wasn't any indication that there could be something...

"Yosh, tomorrow let's practice mountain climbing."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Luke was standing in front of a shop that the main function is to rent climbing equipment...

At the counter there was an old man in his 70', that was amazing here...

"Excuse me, can I buy a basic climbing set?"

"...Hey dude, I don't have time to talk-"

"If it's money, It's not a problem," told Luke to the old man, taking out eight big bills from his wallet.

The old man was dumbfounded for a bit before he turned around and went to the storehouse, and he returned with what Luke [Observe]-d as [Full basic climbing gear].

"Here, it's 600£. There are different ropes placed around the mountain. Climb and don't do anything stupid"

"Yeah"

After giving him his six big bills, Luke like the wind went to find the closest rope to the unknown zone.

Finding it in less than 5 minutes, he hurriedly got to work, with a speed that was only a bit inferior to veteran's one.

But, because of the place he had to go, it took one hour and a half to only reach the right highness, before spending another half hour only to make his way toward a little inlet between the rocks.

The place here wasn't that large, made by a little corridor that has only enough space to let enter an adult, a disheveled ceiling from more than 5 to little less that one meter and half, and the corridor itself that goes for about fifty meters.

Going on, the corridor leads us to what could be exchanged a dead end... and It seemed like so also to Luke, if not for the windows that opened.

[You discovered a new place, separated from your reality]

[Do you want to enter? Y/N]

In this situation, he was also unsure to go on or to stop here...

'It was quite fun to climb, but to making this little adventure in vain is a bit...'

So, to finish his initial purpose, he clicked the Y, and without the strange sensation he had to go before entering the dungeon, he was abruptly covered by a veil of darkness...

Suddenly his five senses exploded, as her brain didn't know how to work anymore. And in a spiral that was the mess created he could see clearly for a single moment.

A figure made by shadows...it hadn't a form... it didn't make a sound... it was...ethereal...

And as that was going on, the shadow was preparing his teeth to take a bite off Luke... that was completely immobilized, and with a minimal amount of clarity in his eyes...

And when he closed his eyes, he was only waiting to say 'Ah, I'm dead...'.

And because of this, he wasn't ready for that...

When he opened his eyes, questioning why didn't he died already, a woman figure appeared in his vision...

She was the most stunning woman ever seen... If it was on the town, surely all the pedestrian -and not- gaze would be all towards her.

A set of purple hair with a purple skin-tight full-body outfit, with metallic decoration here and there...

But when she turned her head toward our little boy, a pair of blood-red eyes that could have the most royal aura within them were pointed toward him...

"...Human, why are you here?"

Our Luke made all the effort he could muster before answering.

"I-"

But, because of the great pressure, he was subjected, he falls... without any form of strength within him.
