Chapter 5- Lucky... Dungeon?

There was a strong cyclone in our location that took out our signal so I didn't get to update :(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the pain spread to his whole body, he unconsciously hold on to the compass.

Clutching the compass with his hand he didn't realize he pressed a button. A burning sensation spread throughout the whole body as a light envelopes Sho starting from his chest.

<<Discovered Lucky Dungeon>>

<<Entering the Lucky Dungeon in...3...2...1>>

The light in the room vanished together with Sho. As soon as he vanished, Reika entered the room together with the doctors. "Doctors, there is Sho. Please check his whole body!" She didn't realize that Sho was there as her view was towards the doctors.

"Ms. Reika... Mister Sho is not here." One of the doctors said.

"What nonsense are you saying? Sho is right----.... There...." Reika saw the empty bed and stopped in the middle of the sentence.

"Where is Sho?" Asking the body guards present guarding the room.

The bodyguards didn't know what to say because they didn't saw him going outside, exept for the doctor that came to check him earlier. "Young miss, Mister Sho didn't left the room." They didn't say about the doctor as they thought she already knows about it.

"How come... Did...did he disappeared in the air?" She didn't thought that Sho would have gone out through the window because it is enhanced with an invisible security system in which will alert the whole hospital that there is an intruder or a patient escapee.

As Reika and the others are looking for the missing patient. In the meantime, in a very vast white space Sho was in the middle of the place, laying down on the ground enduring the pain spread to his whole body.

<<Due to being the first one to discover Lucky Dungeon, you are allowed to own it after it stabilizes. Only people you allowed can enter.>>

"What... is...that...sound?" Sho was having a hard time taking in consideration what is happening around him as the pain is taking his counsciousness. After10 minutes enduring it he passed out.

The poison was very toxic, his body's reaction was to immediately find a way to reject it. The pain he felt was naturally the cause of it. If he didn't felt pain, the poison that the assassin gave should have instantly killed him.

After an hour, the bodyguards of Reika still didn't find Sho. They stationed themselves in all the hospital entrances in hope to stop people resembling Sho, but there was no success. They even dared to be shameless by entering in each room! They didn't even knock!

All of them returned again to the room of Sho. "Young miss... We didn't find any traces of Sho..." One of the bodyguards guiltily said to Reika.

"Oh No! My co-fans will be mad at me for not taking care of Sho! They had confidence in me but... I failed them!" Reika was really upset that Sho is nowhere to be found inside the hospital.

Morning came, but still, Sho is nowhere to be found. Eyebags in Reika's eyes are visible with a naked eye, she looks very haggard and forgot to sleep just to find Sho.

It seems that this past few days, unluckiness have been bestowed upon Sho. Most of the time he is either asleep or feeling pain throughout his body. Waking up feeling dizzy, Shonis confused on where he is on. "What is this place...?"

"Am I still dreaming...?" He got up from the ground and started exploring the white space. In one of the wall there was a kind of monitor, thinking that it was a computer he started walking towards it.

"How does this computer function? There isn't any manual that's says how to open---" The monitor lit up upon the word open. "Ohh-- so this is a voice powered computer. I heard that this kind of computer are quite costy."

He checked every part of the computer and he realized that this computer doesn't have a CPU, just a very flat screen. "Hmm... This computer is really Hi-Tech, it is like a tablet but bigger. So how does this function? I said open and it lit up, what are it's other function?"

Sho was in a deep thought, he was recalling what were the people on the advertisement were doing in order to manage this kind of computer. But there weren't any mouse or keyboard present, it isn't even a touch screen computer.

"If by saying open it will light up, maybe it is a voice commando computer!" As if a light bulb appeared above his bed, Sho feels very satisfied with his ideas. "Menu!" From a blank screen, a series of labels appeared on the screen.

<<Maps>>

<<History>>

<<Rewards>>

<<Monsters>>

<<Backgrounds>>

<<Settings>>

He click the first label that indicates Maps but the screen didn't changed, remembering that it requires voice command he shouted "Maps!"

The screen change again and another list appeared, only the label on the top has a name on it and the others are blank. Knowing the function of the computer he also shouted "Lucky Dungeon!"

A map appeared on the screen. "Let's see..." There was a blue dot continuously blinking at the very edge of the map. "This blue might be me! So this is the map of this place but... What is this? Lucky Dungeon? Did I enter a modernized dungeon? Aren't monster supposed to here as it is a dungeon? And... Lucky Dungeon?" Sho tried to recall if he ever came across a dungeon named Lucky Dungeon but there's seems to be none.

"I don't remember any dungeon called Lucky Dungeon. If this is like what the says states then--- this dungeon must contain treasures!" His eyes brightened at the mention of treasures but dimmed down immediately at the thought of his mother. "Right... Mom is not here anymore... She was the one who like treasures in the first place."

He avoided being all gloomy and shouted "History!" The screen changed to another list like earlier with the maps. The first one is Lucky Dungeon and the others are blank. "Lucky Dungeon!"

The screen changed into black and soon a voice was heard.

<<Welcome! This is Lucky Dungeon! This was created by a very intelligent entity in the whole Universe. In order to stay true to his title in being the most intelligent, he wanted a more technological dungeon.

He built the space full of technological stuff and making random places containing teleportation. This was his greatest invention so far, he wanted this to be part of his dungeon thus he put it almost in every corner of the dungeon.

In order to make his dungeon more thrilling, he applied virtual reality on the dungeon, this is another invention of his.

He wanted the people visiting the dungeon he made confused on which are the real enemy.

Soon he finished the construction of the dungeon and he was ready to send it every part of the universe in order to let the others know about his greatest invention.

When the dungeon was dispersed, he seems to have forgotten something. He realized he has forgotten about the monsters!

In order to not lose face about making a dungeon monsterless, he made sure the every virtual reality he applied are very dangerous apperearing very realistic to hook people into believing they are fighting real monsters. This move made the adventurers spend their whole life fighting this realistic monster that they didn't know how they were killed.

This dungeon is called Lucky Dungeon because it test one's luck to pass.>>

"What a ruthless dungeon! Compare to those dungeon that requires fighting monsters, this is more dangerous! But why am I here? Is this the entrance perhaps?" He seemed confused on which part the dungeon he seems to be. "I remembered that the maps has pinpointed every area with virtual reality and teleportation. Isn't this a cheat...? Let's check the other labels of this menu."
