Meeting the 'Lord'

The humanoid figure continued along the long corridor, but every time he took a step, he advanced a great section of the corridor until he reached a distance from Alex and his figure could be seen being under one of the light stones.

He is a man with white skin, red hair and eyes, he is wearing a long black open sweater that reaches up to his knees, under the sweater he wears a red shirt, black pants and boots, he looks like that of a normal human, except for its diamond-shaped pupils and the two horns that come out of its forehead.

The demon stopped in front of Alex while showing an arrogant smile.

"Bow down before me" The demon spoke with the same voice that Alex heard the first day he arrived at the dungeon, but this time there were feelings in the voice and especially arrogance and contempt, but at the moment when the demon spoke , a powerful pressure began to fall on Alex which began to shake his mind.

"At the beginning I planned to just leve you die like one more garbage... but then I saw that this garbage had a little talent, so I decided to come and accept your desire to serve me, so now bow down" The demon spoke with a cold voice and proud, but when he said his last sentence, the pressure on Alex increased suddenly.

[Bow down!] It was Alex's subconscious thoughts whispering in his ear as if trying to convince him, but Alex has no desire to bend and less to see the attitude of the demon towards him and how the latter had controlled him mentally so that He committed suicide in his early days.

Inside Alex there was still a little regret towards the demon, that remorse had only been gradually increasing since it was the fault of the demon that Alex is here for.

Far from Alex's concentration, the system was notifying that Alex's will was increasing rapidly.

The pressure on Alex only began to increase with the passage of time and the demon showed on his face the irritation of seeing that Alex was still not bowing.

The angry demon advanced towards Alex with great steps and when he reached his side he launched a powerful kick that sent Alex flying through the air until he crashed into a wall and shortly thereafter swung on the floor of impact.

"Damn crap! You should be honored that I came to see you! You should be licking the sole of my shoe right now! But NO! You and your pathetic shit pride don't let you appreciate the truth!" The demon began to strike Alex's body again and again with kicks reinforced with mana, throughout the course of the mistreatment towards Alex, he could not defend himself since a strong pressure emanated by the demon that made him paralyze by the difference in levels and strength.

After some time the demon stopped beating Alex and to regain his glorious composure, the hallway was full of blood stains from where Alex was struck again and again.

"I will take what you most appreciate and use it as a treasure object to be taken away by some dirty human and destroy it for their experiments," said the Demon as he grabs Alex's neck and snatches the necklace that entered recharge mode.

"Tch! Only by the damn rules is that I don't kill you right now, but that doesn't stop me to leaving you half dead, now without this you will die in a short time" The demon dropped Alex on the floor who is fainted by so much pain.

"I wait and you're dead when I get out of my wintering... I spend a lot of resources on building my last floor that I now have to enter passively" I speak the Demon himself as he disappeared into the hallway.

Time passed and Alex woke up while looking at his confused environment, when Alex did not feel the necklace on his neck he began to tremble.

<Non-nononono! I can't lose it !! W-Where is it ?! I probably l-lost it somewhere!> Alex got up from his place completely sore, but with brittle steps he advanced in search of the necklace.

Step by step, Alex had to endure an infernal pain while his body screams to rest, but the anguish inside Alex only began to increase the longer it took to find the necklace, Alex clenched his jaw as he advanced back to the portal in search of the necklace.

<Where ?! where?! He must be here!>

"WHEERE I-IS IT!!?" Alex shouted in an anguished and brittle voice over the tears that began to come out when he didn't find the necklace.

<Where... is it?> Alex stayed in his place while crying when he didn't find the only object that represented what he most wanted since he woke up.

<Who took my most precious item?>

<Who took the only thing that makes me happy?>

<Why?! ... Please have someone tell me, why can't I have at least something that makes me happy?!>

"WHY DO YOU REMOVE THE ONLY OBJECT I HAVE FROM MY MOTHER?!!!" Alex shouted full of despair and resentment as his mana ran out of control for his out of control feelings in him.

"WHY?!!" Alex shouted in tears as he looked at nothing with his heart full of anguish, anger, sadness and fear of not finding the necklace again.

Alex stayed in his place with big tears that run down his small body that doesn't stop shaking and while crying he is surrounded by his own mana that had created a small ring around him around of fire.

The fire began to heal Alex's wounds little by little by his Healing nature which is naturally applied to Alex since it is his own mana.

Alex's anger began to increase slowly until it exploded when Alex joined the loose threads to realize who has his necklace.

<Bastard! I don't understand why you didn't finish with me or why you took it... but I won't have the same mercy if I manage to be on top of you> Alex looked down the hall where he could see an imaginary silhouette of the demon smiling arrogantly at him.

After a few minutes Alex's body recovered with the flames since his body is small.

Once Alex recovered, he advanced down the hall until he reached the end and witnessed a forest, the hall is connected to a gigantic wall that reaches an artificial sky and how it looks is noon, Alex tried to see the end of the forest, but there are so many trees that he can't.

Alex moved slowly as he looked around his surroundings with great curiosity, he could see some birds flying above the treetops and some squirrels moving around the branches.

<Mmm ... [Mapping] shows that it is a room or capsule with its own ecosystem, just an entrance and an exit>

Alex looked at the hologram of a dome that is where it is located and is apparently much larger than the first floor.

While Alex was looking at his surroundings, shouts began to sound in signal of the start of a fight, attracted by the noise, Alex approached the sound of the fight.

Alex approached stealthily, as he crawled across the ground with the herbs reaching his nose, Alex's figure became imperceptible.

Alex was amazed by the animals they were fighting, two wolves against two lizardmen, they are fighting on equal damage.

Lizards [kobolds] are found using craft spears with venom while wolves use their large and strong physique, as well as their claws and fangs to carry out attacks.

Alex watched as they were facing equal damage, but right now he feels a great need to let off steam with something and in front of him there are 4 good toys.

Without further thinking, Alex used [Charge] to get to one side of them and without giving them time to react because of his interference, the four were held by Alex's shadow.

Once they were held by his shadow, Alex began whipping them against everything around them and sometimes they even died.

Surprisingly they lasted a lot, especially the kobolds since they had a rusty red scales and some pieces of leather or metal armor, but once the four died, they left nothing behind except for the booty.

The booty was the same as the one on the first floor, but the amount was much greater, but Alex remained annoyed, his anger was not yet calmed, but his experience as a human allowed him to keep it under control and understand that for now he can only repress it in the deepest part of his heart since now it will only be a hindrance to his survival.

Time passed while Alex explored the forest and advanced towards the exit, although he traveled half a day, he could see in his ability that he has not traveled even 5% of the necessary distance to the exit.

Distressed, Alex began to make a hole on the side of some bushes, he had noticed that the limit of the room was lower than where Alex is standing, that means that the ground on which he is standing is modifiable and not like the walls or the trees that came out of the rock in the safe room on the first floor.

Once Alex relaxed in his hollow, he began to cry again for the loss of the necklace as well as for the anger of the helplessness of not being able to face the demon and only fainting.

This only caused Alex's small desire for strength to increase and he began to take some form.
