Chapter 19 Training

...

Oh wow...Finally...

Looks like the system is fine now...

*Sigh* Nevermind I don't even know how this system works in the first place.

I mean I know Status Windows and other game stuffs because I've played games before...

But

Yeah, well this is different from games I've played before...

Hmm...

Well then... Let's try it out~

...

I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and went towards the bathroom. I then used the kitchen knife to make a cut. When it started bleeding, I started outlining the cross with my blood.

A few minutes later...It started glowing and changed it's color to black.

Nothing happened at first but after a few seconds, Yazari appeared at my left shoulder.

It seems that she have grown a little bigger.

I was planning on trying out your new skill today but nevermind.

Yeah...I decided that I'll only use it when we actually need it...

...

Ring* Ring*

Father...?

"Hello father?"

"Are you busy, Kris?"

"Ahh no father...Is there anything you need?"

"Can you come here tomorrow morning? I have something I want you to do for me..."

" What's it about, Father?"

" A bunch of people will go inside those gates and I wanted to ask you if you can come with them... I've seen you and your friends train at the back of the Mansion before. They also asked me if they could train at our Mansion and I agreed because some of them are my friend's sons and in exchange to that they'll take you and your friends with them"

What? Really? This is going to be the first time people will enter those gates. They dont know what's waiting for them...I should go...

" We dont know what's inside a gate but they said that the energy in it is pretty weak so I think it'll be alright but just incase...I want you to be there...You seem to know more about this things"

" Wait wait....They can already measure the energy in a gate?! Hahhh Are you sure Father? That's amazing if its true but if it isnt...then it'll be bad... There's no other choice then...Okay, I'll go...Father..."

There's no way they can measure the gates properly already... There's just no way...I hope it is though...

" Yes, Thank you, Son...Report to me everything you see inside..."

[Gates won't break even if you leave it alone for a long time...Not unless the gates can't handle the energy that's been building up inside of it ofcourse...(As time pass by monsters inside a gate will hunt their own kind and become stronger. Since there's alot of crystals inside a dungeon...They will multiply and kill each other once again and become stronger until the gate can't handle the energy inside because of the monsters and crystals.) (I you're curious as to why There we're also no crystals inside The Castle of Catastrophe and The Ant Dungeon because it is just a dungeon created by the System. In those kind of dungeons, everything is present except for the crystals)

And!

An S rank dungeon or gate needs a key to open and will not break. And since it hasn't been a year yet when gates, energies and magic started appearing...The energy is still weak...Thats why even after a few months, No dungeon breaks have occurred. I hope you understood my explanation!]

I don't know if monster can come out of a gate but if that happens...Then players today won't be able to handle it. By now, 60% of humanity may have reawakened as players but that still doesn't change anything if they don't have any experiences.

I was able to prepare myself physically and mentally before I entered my first gate, but even then, I was still afraid. But you have to overcome those fears...I did that by turning that fear into excitement because I need to live and get stronger...

Mhmmmm...

And now that I have a goal...To bring those memories back and bring my mother back to life... there's no way I'll give up without a fight...

...

The Next Day

"Good...You came...They will start the training 15 minutes from now...You should hurry and go there... They're at the back of the Mansion where you and your friends trained months ago..."

I just nodded in response and excused myself.

Kei, Riah, and Sheng was waiting for me outside. Riah's weapon is inside my inventory...For now, she's just an ordinary healer since I also told her not to use any wind magic. Sheng doesn't have a proper weapon and armor suited for a Tank yet...The same goes for Kei...

I'll only use an ordinary sword for this Raid...Once something bad happened I'll give my permission to Riah to use her magic and give her the Scythe of Eternal Sorrow. Riah and I will also go to the front lines while Kei and Sheng protect the others. But if someone got hurt, Riah will switch with Sheng and stay at the back with Kei and heal the injured person. I will grabbed the sword from my inventory and use it to kill the monster while Sheng protect me...A tank's body is as hard as metal...Even if the shield they prepared for us isn't good and all. But if that won't work, the others will have to help me by attacking all at once to serve as a distraction for the boss while I summon Yazari... That way I can kill the boss and try Yazari's new skill.

But it's still better if there's no casualties and the dungeon is cleared easily though...

...

HYAAAA!

*clang*clang*clang*

Hmmm...

They're alright I guess...

Not bad...

Ahem!

*Sigh*

I'm one to talk though...I did practice how to wield a sword before but if I didn't have the Holy Sword of The Chosen I would've died fighting the Ant Queen...

No...Stop it....

"Just continue observing, Liekris" I said to myself to calm my mind and focus on the players fighting infront of me.

I observed the other's fight and evaluate them myself.

Almost all of them are Level 2 and some are 3 but since I still dont trust the "Leveling" system...I evaluated them myself and that's that.

I just hope its not a C rank gate or higher...

I should probably join them now...
