The Appearance of Dungeons and Underworld Portals!

Blacksmith Orlan and Knight Agustin could only shake their heads in response—seemingly unable to understand what was running into Arturo's mind. At the least, they know that it's for everyone's benefit—especially for Princess Anmeerale's interest.

Eventually, Blacksmith Orlan finished crafting his golden badge—which was even engraved with their names. The Golden Badge resembled a square gold bar with a flower design in it.

On one of its edges, Arturo and Blacksmith Orlan's name was engraved in brown glowing color, while Knight Agustin's name was engraved in green glowing color at the edge part of Arturo's badge of identity—signifying those who were present when the badge of identity was being crafted.

"Since you have your Badge already, I would like to take my leave, Sir Arturo!" Knight Agustin said while respectfully bowing towards Arturo. Then, he added, saying, "I have obtained great insights from you, thus, I am also intrigued by the otherworlders behavior! So, I wish to observe them too, from the Kingdom's wall!"

"Of course! Of course!" Arturo said in embarrassment, before forcing out a smile and rubbing the back of his head. Then, he added, saying, "I'd just be preparing a 'few' Runic Artifacts anyway!"

"Then… I'd be taking my leave!" Knight Agustin said as he respectfully bowed towards Arturo once again, before nodding towards Blacksmith Orlan and, eventually, leaving.

After Knight Agustin left, Arturo and Blacksmith Orlan worked together to craft several Blank Dagger Artifacts using the remaining ordinary metal on Blacksmith Orlan's shop.

After an hour, they were able to make 11 Blank Dagger Artifacts—a grayish double-edged dagger with the runic engraving at the middlemost side of the blade. Its handle was also made from the same metal and was only wrapped with a black cloth due to its rushed production.

"Aish! If only I had known that we'd be getting a lot of orders today… I would have stacked a lot of metal ores already!" Blacksmith Orlan grumbled as he wiped the dripping sweat on his face.

Arturo simply smirked in response before lifting the bag of daggers and saying, "Don't worry, Blacksmith Orlan! I'll get you some during my short trip outside the walls!"

Blacksmith Orlan simply glanced towards Arturo before grumbling, "Aish! Make sure to catch a decent monster's soul first, before you start thinking of returning here in my shop!"

Arturo simply laughed in response and said, "If I were you, I'd be taking this chance to take a sleep instead!"

Blacksmith Orlan could only shake his head in response. Then, he laid on the workshop's floor as soon as Arturo left.

Blacksmith Orlan thought, 'I wonder if your actions would actually speak for your words, young man! I can't wait to see what monsters you'd be able to catch with my craft!'

From Arturo's Point of View, the moment he came out of the Blacksmith shop, he was greeted by Young Man Ovel, Reijiro, and Henry—together with tens of kneeling otherworlders including the muscular man—who don't even have any hints of injury of some sort.

"Did anyone try to run?" Arturo coldly asked whilst glaring towards the otherworlders.

Young Man Ovel simply shook his head and said, "They wouldn't dare, sir! The Cathedral and the Paladins were alerted by such shameless actions of these slaves! So, most of them were apprehended by the Kingdom Soldiers—as per one of her highness, Princess Anmeerale's Advisor!"

"Why didn't the guards took them, then?" Arturo asked.

"That… Sir Quadriyo said that you might have some matters with them! So… He left them under our watch, until you return, Sir!" Henry said in response.

Arturo couldn't help but to flick his tongue and grumble deep inside, 'That old man… He should have taken these troublemakers! Now… What am I going to do with these bast@rds?! It's not like I can take them in as my men. They would just stab my back eventually—just basing on their attitudes! And… It's not like they would instantly change in a snap either!'

"Sir?" Henry raised his brows—feeling that Arturo was troubled on what to do with the otherworlders.

That said, Arturo simply shook his head in response. Then, he said, "Otherworlders… Let's be honest with each other! You know that this place is not the land that you speak of! So… Why act arrogant despite being warned once?"

Arturo glanced towards the muscular man and continued, asking, "Do you want to die that bad, huh?!"

The muscular man simply gritted his teeth and said, "Don't give me that sh1t, b@st@rd! There's obviously a trick or two behind your so-called magic! So, stop scamming us and send us back to our homes!"

"Yeah! Yeah! If something happens to us, the police won't let you live either!" The other otherworlders added in response.

Young Man Ovel could only shake his head in surrender to the stubbornness of the otherworlder.

On the other hand, Arturo could only sigh in response before saying, "Believe what you want to believe!"

Then, Arturo glanced at Henry and said, "Henry! You also got control over them, right?"

"Yes, sir!" Henry nodded in response.

"Okay, good! Transfer them to Sir Quadriyo and tell him to confine them in a prison!" Arturo said in response. "People like them would only cause trouble until they learn what the reality is!"

"Is that all, sir?" Henry asked in response.

"Yeah!" Arturo simply nodded in response.

"Copy!" Henry saluted before forcing the slaves to leave with him.

"Your men are weird, Sir!" Young Man Ovel said whilst scratching the back of his head.

Arturo couldn't help but force out a smile in response.

Seconds later, the figure of Henry and the shameless otherworlders disappeared after making a turn in a street. This, in turn, made Arturo tap the shoulder of Young Man Ovel before saying, "I should be going too, young man! Thanks for your help! I'll see what I can give to you when I come back!"

"It's alright, sir! I didn't do anything special, anyway!" Young Man Ovel said in response.

Arturo simply smirked and said, "The otherworlders should learn 'your' humility, young man!"

Young Man Ovel simply watched Arturo and Reijiro left until their figures disappeared from his view.

"How can I be rude if you're a customer, sir…" Young Man Ovel mumbled to himself as he returns into their blacksmith shop.

At this moment, in the forest around the Alvar Kingdom, the ground was constantly shaking—but was still not strong enough to be felt by the people inside and outside the Alvar Kingdom's walls. At the same time, several lines started to occur in the ground—signifying that ruptures on the ground were about to occur.

This, in turn, made some land based monsters run around—confused of what was happening.

However, in the next second, a powerful burst of air came out of the gaps in the ground—consequently splitting some unfortunate monsters into half.

Then…

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ground burst upward—sending everything into the air as if a volcano was erupting.

Then, an unknown scaly thing launched up into the air, resembling a circular tower rising from the ground. Only when it was standing as high as a 10-story building did it curved downwards—plunging back into ground.

At its end was huge opening—resembling a circular mouth, with uncountable number of rock-looking teeth. And when it hits the ground, that giant opening drilled its way back into the soil—causing tremors that could even be felt inside the Alvar Kingdom.

At this moment… Back in the Alvar Kingdom…

Arturo glared towards the direction of the Western Gate and frowned before murmuring to himself, "That f@cking worm finally appeared!"

'And that means that… The Dungeons… And The Underworld Portals have now appeared!' Arturo thought as he smirked mischievously deep inside.

'It's time to hunt the big @ss monsters!' He chuckled deep inside.

'I need to take advantage of this opportunity—to farm monsters and dungeons while other people from Earth are still busy 'accepting' and 'realizing' their new reality!' He added. 'It's such a shame, though… that I won't be able to create a lot of runic artifacts for my men! The old man was only able to create 11 Blank Dagger Artifacts!'

He sighed deep inside before shaking his head, and saying to himself, 'It can't be helped! There are a lot more opportunities in the future! For now… I'll focus on leveling up and getting what I can for myself!'

Hi guys, after much deliberation, I would like to inform you that the chaer update would be reduced to, at least, 2-3 Chapters per week.

I'll try to mass release in case I am able to make more chapters than that per week.

At any case, I thank you guys for your support! I hope you guys enjoy the new chapter!
