Solo Dungeon.

In Real Life.

Creak!

A door creaked open. Alice entered Isaac's room, sneakily roaming around. She was tiptoeing the whole way.

'Need to make sure there aren't any hidden cameras!' Alice clenched her hands into a tight grip.

She strode past the bed that was already occupied by certain someone. Isaac's seemingly dead body was unmoving. The eyes underneath the visor were fluttering, signaling that he was still alive.

However, it amplified the creeping meter. Many elder folk would have their hearts beat out of their chests if they came face-to-face with such a situation.

Alice pursed her lips as she went past the bed. She stepped inside the bathroom and rummaged through cabinets, cupboards, shelves, and sink.

''Hmm...'' She tapped her chin as she looked around the spacious bathroom, ''If I would put hidden cameras... Where would I put them?''

Her detective instincts ignited. She grinned and cracked her knuckles.

She hopped on top of a toilet. The lid of the toilet seat raddled as her weight pressed onto it.

''Ahh...'' She tiptoed and tried to look at the top of the nearby shelf. Then, after making sure that there was nothing except dust.

She hopped off the toilet and thoroughly searched the shower. She couldn't find anything and felt her racing heart calming down.

''Nothing here... This is good.'' She stepped out of the bathroom, her gaze landing on the door. Then, like her head was a magnet, being attracted by iron, she was turned to look at Isaac's motionless figure.

''Right...'' She murmured and forgot the most important part. She has to make sure that Isaac was untouched.

Creak!

Alice lied down on the bed. Her back touching the edge of the bed and her legs dangling. She could have moved Isaac's body to fit herself better, but she couldn't know how would it affect him.

She didn't dare to take risks.

''Hmm?'' Alice's brows furrowed. She rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might have been mistaken.

Isaac's eyes fluttered, sometimes staying tightly shut. Then, out of nowhere, the eyes opened with a slam.

His gray eyes had a piercing glow in them.

Alice shifted her body to take a closer look. She almost lied on top of Isaac as she watched his face through the white visor.

However, the glow had vanished.

'I guess I was mistaken...' Alice saw the position she was in. Her cheeks flushed, and she thought it would be better to leave for now.

Before that, she gave a quick pinch on the cheeks, enjoying the feeling of Isaac's soothing skin.

After, she hopped to her two feet and rushed out of the room. No one had any clue that she was ever there.

...

''Hmm.'' In front of Isaac were the items ShadowCloak dropped. Three daggers and worn-out leather armor.

He would have wanted his dark cloak, but his luck only reached that far. ShadowCloak also had several daggers left in his inventory. Once he returns, he won't have to start from zero.

Three Wild Wolf Fangs, four daggers, and leather armor were stored inside his inventory. Isaac was somewhat satisfied with his haul.

He was expecting a good amount of White Coins from the items he had acquired.

If he headed south, he would reach the village reasonably soon. But, he was far from level 10.

He couldn't leave before maximizing his time of grind.

Isaac stood up and roamed deeper into the woods. Ten minutes later, his feet came to a halt.

He couldn't find any animals or Players. It was like everyone had disappeared the moment he killed ShadowCloak.

Even though he felt suspicious of the situation. He didn't give up and continued walking.

After five minutes, he saw an open clearing with looming shadows. When Isaac reached the edge of the forest, he saw over dozen players gathered around a dimly-lit cave.

None of them having any intention of entering.

Isaac was baffled. He felt inclined to turn around and leave. But, a notification appeared out of thin air, erasing all thoughts of leaving from Isaac's mind.

[Solo Dungeon Swornword!]

[Max Players: 1]

[Difficulty: Easy]

[Completed: 0/100]

He was surprised and stumbled forward. His body went through the floating text, and his foot landed on a twig.

Crack!

The twig broke under his weight. Everyone's heads whipped in the direction of the sound, and they noticed a beautiful white-haired youth cursing under his breath.

Isaac was caught, and it would look suspicious if he spun around and left. Without any other choice, he stepped forward and exited the woods.

The open clearing was rather spacious. There were no wild animals and only the dimly-lit cave.

Isaac noticed all the gazes being locked on him. He could feel curiosity in them, but not hostility, at least for now.

The Players saw the floating player tag. However, both the name and the beautiful figure were unknown to many.

They were certain that Isaac would stand out no matter where he went.

''Wraith... It is you!'' He heard a cheery voice. The voice was soothing to the brim. It had an aura of innocence and youthfulness, and everyone who heard it would be sure that the voice belonged to someone who was in the prime of her life.

Isaac whipped his head around and saw three hands waving toward him. The hands belonged to three lovely figures. They all had different kinds of beauty.

The first one was cute and cheerful, the other was gentle beauty, and the third one was aloof, with not much emotion on her face. Still, her body proportions were already eyecatching enough to make her top-tier beauty.

They were the main attraction of the place. While not many cared about the cave itself and instead wanted to test their luck to catch one of their hearts.

[Hellsky]

[WinterLove]

[SnowMaiden]

Their eyes sparkled as Isaac appeared from the woods.

Isaac returned the wave and went toward them. He could feel the intense gazes on his back.

No one cared that he went toward the girls. If Isaac knew why he would spit blood. Everyone, again, mistook him for a girl.

Hellsky was a beautiful young woman with short blond hair and sky blue eyes. Her legs were shown underneath the short skirt, which was a rather bold choice of clothing from her.

The rest of her body was covered in leather armor that covered her slender figure.

Winterlove had blond black hair, delicate eyebrows, gray eyes, and smooth skin.

She was wearing kneesocks that went from her toes to her knees. Her appealing thighs were exposed, and the skirt was as short as Hellsky's, only narrowly longer.

She also had a slender figure. Leather armor tightly hugged her body, outlining her beautiful proportions.

SnowMaiden, at first glance, would look like someone everyone would have a crush on a middle school. She had innocent facial features, making everyone's protective instincts ignite. Her long silver hair reached her lower back, and the shy look on her adorable face made everyone have an inclining feeling to pinch her cheeks.

They were seated on top of a tree trunk. Hellsky sneakily motioned for Isaac to sit with them.

Once Isaac reached them, they shifted their bodies to the side, making enough space for him to sit down.

He sat next to SnowMaiden, whose innocent look made him feel at ease. Even though he wasn't that familiar with them, he felt surprisingly at ease with her.

''Hey...'' She whispered shyly.

Isaac smiled and nodded. His smile caused SnowMaiden's cheeks to flush pink.

''By the way, why is everyone here?'' Isaac whispered. Trying to find out the reason for everyone hanging around the cave.

The Players, gathered in the cave, were desperately leaning closer. Trying to eavesdrop on even a single word.

''Solo Dungeon. Everyone is trying to decide who shall enter first. Apparently, the one who clears it first will get enormous rewards.'' Hellsky said with excitement. Her beautiful face shone in expectation.

''Oh.'' Isaac nodded. His face showed clear shock. He didn't expect to find one so quickly.

His eyes shone in excitement as his gaze lingered in the direction of the dimly-lit cave.
