I'm sorry

"Is that true?"

"Yes, him introducing that kid to us was the reason why Isabel's parents died."

"What happened?"

...

Damn it, this is bad. I can't take these monsters by myself and if I get killed here than that'd mean that I'll die here and everyone will forget me.

I mean it's not a bad deal right now but seriously, what is taking them so long? I've already defeated 25 of them alone, it's been over half an hour since they showed up.

"Damn it, Ariel please come down or else I'm going to die at this rate."

I won't even get my pay check of I don't survive this.

...

"It was about 10 years ago, when i was just 8 years old. That's when i saw alan playing alone in the park and nobody was even talking to him."

ROSE'S POV

He was alone and that's when i pitied him and decided to talk to him.

He was a good guy and was always nice to me, i didn't think of his situation nor did he think of mine.

We were just friends, his kind behaviour really got to me. He was innocent and sacrificial.

He'd really sacrifice everything for me, I always told him not to but whenever I needed him he was there.

Maybe that's why I hoped he'd be there when I most needed him.

Soon enough I introduced him to Isabel and Isabel didn't like him because she probably knew I kinda had a thing for him.

Which made Isabel think she'd lose me which was cute when she said that.

Anyway, one day Alan showed up with a friend and since he said that he was good friends with that guy we let him in.

But, one day the unthinkable happened.

Whenever we play in that park there are always guards around

That's when it happened.

Alan's friend Root asked us to come to a certain place and there Alan would be waiting for them with a surprise.

We were always good at discerning someone's intent but we failed at that situation because he was too good of an actor for the likes of us to be cautious.

We believed it and went hoping to find a surprise but what we found was in fact a surprise.

There were several thugs and looters with knifes and guns.

But than someone covered our eyes and used chloroform on us.

The moment we woke up we were in a place that we knew nothing about, turns out it was a dungeon.

"I asked you to bring somrtfrom your parents collection didn't I, Isabel? So did you?"

"Yes."

She said in a bit of a panic.

Than she gave him the thing which he put on a dead corpse which soon started moving.

And it was talking to root and suddenly it slit Root's throat with it's bare hands and ate his flesh and the flesh of the other people present there after killing them all.

Than he showed up before us

"Hmm, you look delicious" he said and than came close to us and that's when Isabel's parents showed up

"Isabel, Rose are you guys alright?" They asked

To which we answered a bit out of it. We were very scared of that monster.

His face was covered with flesh and to top it all off he was covered in the blood of the people he ate

He looked like he wasn't completely done fixing his appearance. It was as if he wasn't complete.

Isabel's parents started using some sort of powers, it turns out Isabel's parents were also involved in this and that's why she had high density of power which was later manifested into me too.

Soon, the monster started over powering the two and started chomping on her mother and father as if they were not living beings but just food to him.

This traumatized Isabel so much she forgot about the whole incident and that She had parents in the first place.

After that the monster ate us too and than we were transported into the black space where we first met

Charlotte and that's when she decided to become a guide for the both of us because she had the capacity to do so.

And that's when Charlotte adopted Isabel as her daughter and she became a mother.

That's the whole story

...

"Since than, i've always blamed Alan for bringing that man into our lives and I was the reason why Isabel had to go through all this.

If I had never met Alan i'd never have to deal with the whole dungeon thing and isabel's parents would be alright right now and we'll be having a completely normal life.

It's all because of him."

"So you hate him for bringing thatbperson into your life which ruined everything for you?"

"Yes, i'm sorry but I'll never forgive him for that and after doing all that he had the gall to confess to me."

"Here's the thing, I went through Alan's memories. And I saw some of the memories of his from his childhood. Alan was hypnotized by that Root Guy, he wasn't a friend of Alan's,

he was after you and to do that he fabricated Alan's memories and made new memories of his and doing something like that takes a tole on a human mind, it could have killed him.

What I'm trying to say is, it wasn't Alan's fault because he was hypnotized and his memories were altered."

"I, what am I supposed to do? I Don't understand. To protect Isabel and myself I have to stay away from him and I'll never forgive what he did to Isabel on that day."

"You mean the day, he absolutely tarnished Isabel? I can understand where you are coming from."

"Than why are you supporting him Charlotte, he's ghe shittiest guys around and im a bit afraid that he's probably posessed by some demon based on ghe way he behaved today. That isn't the Alan I knew, he was never like this."

"You know, im done with you brat. Why don't I just show you his pov of everything he's done for the both of you."

"What did he even do? Did he like kill himself while protecting us or something? And that's the reason why he's a part of this now?"

She looked at Ariel as if to mock her supporting a piece of trash like Alan but the moment she gave an answer to Rose she was she'll shocked

"Yaa, that's pretty much waht happened. He took 2 doses of insane poison that's supposed to destroy you from the inside while it makes you feel like your bones are repeatedly being broken and your skin is being peeled off.

It's the blood of the demon lord. That James found in the dark net somehow and he almost planted it onto you only for Alan to take it and die in the process.

And maybe because he has The demon lord's powers surging inside him now, he's able to utilize the God's power the electrolytus which is supposed to tear a normal person's body apart on a single contact.

Well, why don't I show you some of the memories of his."

...

Damn it, it's really taking them too long, maybe they abandoned me or smtg?

Damn if if they did than wouldn't that mean ill habe to take care of ghis whole thing alone.

I mean it wouldn't be surprisingl to see Rose and isabel abandon mr but ill put all my money on Ariel not abandoning me.

I don't think she'll ever abandon me.

but thanks to the delay, i'm able to utilize these weapons properly now.

Using their power has become easier, ive already taken out 70 of these monsters and it's still yhe first floor.

I wonder how much I'll get out of each monster.

Even if it's a 100 coins I'll still make 7000 for this day alone. (Around 6,30,000 ₹)

Damn just how much is a single monster worth.

By the way, I need to make a bank account to deposit all the money too.

I wanna get out of here, receive my weekly pay and than take my mom and sis to a good dinner party.

CLEARED FLOOR 1

ENTERING FLOOR 2

That's when I entered floor 2 after taking down the other 10 remaining monsters.

So now it was floor 2 and thus shit's insane. Why are there so many monsters?

There are almost a 1000 of them in herds and it Wass like an open field with grass all around, it was different from the other dungeons I went to

Shit I just might die, no no no no no

I can't die, not after dreaming of giving Kom and sis a good rest for a day.

They work too hard, sis goes to a part time job and so does Mom work full time.

They don't really get much time to rest so I thought I'd give them some time by doing this.

But, now the monsters had climbed on top of me and they were about to eat me

The only thing that came to mind was Mom and sis, and Ariel

She didn't show up, so she did abandon me

And just as I was thinking that, the whole place was engulfed in flames and than simultaneously a large scale light attack which caused the monsters to burst like bubbles.

Than an earth magic power was used to clear out the remaining monsters that were alive and just like that all the thousand or so monsters died in a flash.

Hoping to see Ariel I saw the faces of those 3 people I didn't wanna see.

"Damn man, did it really take you that long to take out those e class monsters? This dungeon is an e class one and that's why we let you go alone, but damn that was pathetic man."

"It can't be helped, im a newbie afterall I habe no experience, id probably take 3000 of these monsters alone if I had more experience."

"You would wouldn't you."

She was looking at me, and now that I get a closer look at her, it seemed like she was crying. I immediately felt my heart throb when I saw tears in her eyes

I wanted to ask what happened but couldn't so I just shut up and stood there.

"Are you really crying. What happened to make the young princess cry so much? Bwahaha."

She aas just looking at me and after what seemed like an eternity she opened her mouth.

"I'm sorry."

"What?"

What happened, I instantly looked at the approaching figure of Ariel and she just winked at me and gave me a thumbs-up signal

tf did you do?
