Eric thought Ria's forearm would break, but nothing of the sort happened.With a wave of her arm, Ria pushed him back.Eric appeared visibly surprised. He was a Genteel B-ranker, but this young lady managed to block his punch like it wasn't much. "Who are you?""She's our new recruit," Sercy happily said. She did not expect Ria to be this strong."New recruit?" Eric's brows knitted together. "Don't tell me, you sent her into the D-rank dungeon as well?""I didn't know she was this strong.""Didn't you evaluate them before sending them to the dungeon?""Our evaluating equipment was broken, so…" Sercy tried to speak without looking embarrassed.Eric's jaw hardened. He could see that both Ria and Myles had wristlets on them. “So they were never D-rankers to begin with. No wonder they could finish those dungeons by themselves.” He glared at Sercy. “They should have never entered those dungeons. If a dungeon break happens because of your mistake, it won’t just end up with an impeachment f
Myles couldn’t have been any clearer with his words, but Eric still said, “I can’t give you this city, but by being in the bureau, you can enter the dungeons to inspect them or for other reasons. You will mostly be working inside and around the dungeons, and so you will be able to level up a lot faster than if you were to, let’s say, work in a poor guild.”“Mm, your offer is definitely tempting,” Myles said, making Sercy’s heart skip, “but the thing is I don’t like working in big organizations as they tend to be very corrupt. I try to stay away from corruption, so I can’t join the bureau.”If it was just a random person who said such words, then Eric would have attacked that person straight away, but since he was talking with an Ace D-ranker, he employed his patience to the highest level. “Mr. Myles… The bureau will provide you a house, give you a weekly salary, and you’ll get a lot of fame as well. All these things are certain rewards.”“Oh, c’mon,” Sercy intervened. “You’re been spo
The whistles were both removed from Ria and Myles’ hands after their services in clearing two dungeons. The guildmaster of the Dawn guild came down to the ground floor to personally put the badges sent by the bureau. Rorin, the guildmaster, was an old dwarf with his beard almost touching the floor. He looked so drunk, his body was rocking back and forth as he put the badges on the newcomers and then went back to his room on the top floor. Myles received a D* badge, whereas Ria received a B1 badge. Ria felt happy to receive the badge because she had never received something like this before, which now made her want to treasure the badge. Also, she removed the badge from her chest and used a hairpin to stick the badge to the back of her head. With her hair made into a pool, she looked different and strangely attractive. “Why is the guildmaster like that?” Myles asked Sercy. “He’s been like that ever since his granddaughter died,” Sercy said in a low voice. “She and Judas’ grandson
By the time Ria came downstairs in the morning, both Sercy and Myles were gone. She asked Judas where they went, but he asked her to bring two bottles of rum if she wanted him to answer.However, she showed him two middle fingers before walking out on her own.Judas could only shake his head and again lie down on his bench.Ria walked down the street with her guild badge and venerer’s badge on her chest. And she was expecting people to see her, and they did.When they saw her rank, most of the people greeted her with a smile. That said, some looked fearful of her. Regardless, she felt happy like a child would.A shopkeeper approached her, saying, “Please come to my shop, ma’am. I will serve you well-cooked sterile crocozilla meat.” He showed her the menu. Crocozillas were found in D-rank dungeons. They were long-legged crocodiles that could jump high and live on trees, suddenly crashing down on top of passerby, killing them with their weight before eating them messily. “It’s just 3 si
Ria caught up with Wilson in no time and beat the crap out of him before taking all the money he had, even though he told her that it wasn’t his money but the guild’s money. She just replied to him, saying, “You and your men attacked me first, so even if your guildmaster comes and apologizes to me personally for your misconduct, I won’t be giving this money back.” Saying that she left and entered the nearest meat shop she could find.It was a large shop where they sold rabbitons. These were monster rabbits that weighed a ton. Their meat was known to boost leg strength and also the muscles of the heart, so it was a shop mostly visited by those who were looking to improve their speed.Ria loved the rabbiton dish so much she ended up eating five whole plates. It cost her only five silver pieces, which she happily paid because she still had a lot of money left.And then she explored the district.Meanwhile, a disc-shaped flying vehicle landed at the headquarters of the dungeon bureau. Ser
Myles and Sercy entered one of the many elevators. Each elevator had lift girls who helped the guests to reach their destination.The lift girl that Myles was in asked him, “Which floor?”Myles, however, looked at Sercy.“98th floor,” Sercy was quick to reply. “We’re here to meet Tiago.”“Thunder Slayer Tiago?” The lift girl was shocked. “How do you know him?”“He’s an old friend, that’s all.”“C-Can you get me his autograph, please?” the lift girl pleaded in a soft tone. If she could sell that autograph, she would earn her year’s worth of salary, after all.“I will try,” Sercy politely replied.“Thank you.”The lift girl then happily escorted them to the 98th floor, a place she hadn’t visited many times before. So, she was also excited. Using the map that was shown on her wrist gadget, she managed to take them to Tiago’s deluxe room without wasting any time.“Don’t forget about the autograph please,” the lift girl reminded Sercy before leaving.Sercy pressed the button next to the st
It turned out to be a humiliating day for Sercy because not just Tiago but nobody in the dungeon bureau helped us. They gave all sorts of reasons as to why they couldn’t help her. Most of those reasons were that they were busy with their schedule and wouldn’t be able to allot time to fight for a low-level guild like Dawn guild.Some told her to ask for Tiago's help.There were also those who told her to send Myles to the bureau if she wanted their help. But she had to refuse.All in all, it was a tiring day. Just as they were leaving, the lift girl asked them for the autograph, but Sercy had to apologize to her for not bringing an autograph.However, Myles ended up singing on a random mug and gave it to her, saying, “I’ll become famous in a little while, so keep it with you until then.”The lift girl would have thought Myles was just bragging, but she could see that he was wearing a D* badge, which meant that he was an Ace D-ranker. So she said, “I’ll keep it with me since it doesn’t
A school bus was heading to the school, and along the way, it had to pass by a D-rank dungeon that was in a subway.The dungeon looked beautiful like a daffodil flower and gave off a sweet scent.It was a daily route, so the children weren’t even looking at the dungeon as the bus was passing by. They were busy playing a singing game.And they suddenly started hearing the odd siren noises at a unique frequency.The driver was a new guy, so he didn’t know what was going on and stopped the bus, which happened to stop right in front of the dungeon. What separated the bus and the dungeon were the barricades with supernaturally-charged devices installed on them to detect in case of a sudden spike of dungeon energy. It was these devices that were making the sounds.The daffodil flower began to bloom fully and crack as if it was shedding its skin.“It’s a dungeon break!” one of the kids cried out because he had seen one of the television before. “Start the bus!”The driver started the bus, bu
