In a world where a Dungeon lives, there are Adventurers that enter the Dungeon for loot, money, and to level up. A certain Adventurer named Thomas Kent started his adventure in the year 983C. He turned 17 that year and entered the Dungeon. He walked around with his Striker out. Striker is a short dagger like weapon.
Thomas walked 50 feet into the first area of the Dungeon that everyone calls ‘Endless World of Exploration’ which is 1-A. As soon as he walked 50 feet, a monster known as Goblin appeared and Thomas looked ahead and put his Striker away and stared at it. The Goblin growled and ran toward him with a knife in its hand. As soon as it got close to him, Thomas swung his Striker at him and the Goblin jumped right into it and the dagger cut part of his head off and the Goblin disappeared and then the Gem Stones appeared and he gained 20 XP. Thomas picked up the Gem Stones and put it in his backpack and said, “One Goblin defeated. Let’s keep moving.”
He continued walking and then more Goblins came from the walls and Thomas turned his head and saw them and said, “Here they come. Are you ready Striker?”
There was silence for a while and Thomas ran toward them and the Goblins ran toward him as well and Thomas attacked them all and then picked up the Gem Stones. And also collected 60 XP as well. To get to level 2, you need a total of 100 XP.
Thomas walked away and then the ground started to shake and Thomas looked ahead and said, “You can’t be serious. You would only find a Draco in the lower floors. That’s what I heard from my big sis. She’s on the 7th floor. And that’s where she encountered her first Draco. This isn’t going to be good at all. Am I right Draco?”
Draco roared and Thomas sighed and ran toward the Draco and the Draco shot out fire from it’s mouth and Thomas dodged it and continued running and the Draco continued to shoot fireballs out of its mouth and Thomas dodged each of them and as soon as he got close to him, he swung once and then the Draco swung its tail at him, but Thomas jumped back and then the tail went back and Thomas ran in and swung at the Draco again and again and then the tail appeared to swing at him again and Thomas jumped over it and a fireball hit the wall and Thomas swung at the neck of the Draco and it went inward a little and took the Striker out and then landed on his feet and then Draco turned his head toward Thomas and Thomas ducked as soon as the fireball flew out of its mouth and then an explosion occurred right above him and Thomas ran in front of the Draco and stabbed the Draco and then a sword appeared appeared out of nowhere and hit his arm, but the Draco disappeared as soon as Thomas’s Striker hit the Draco and the Adventurer that slashed his left arm saw that her sword was in him and took it out and yelled, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
Thomas said, “I leveled up 3 times eh. Shit, my arm.”
The Adventurer said, “I’m sorry.”
Thomas heard that and looked up and said, “Oh, when did you get there?”
The Adventurer heard that and yelled, “What? How dumb are you?”
Thomas picked up the Claw and the Gem Stones and said, “Well, I can’t go any further today. This might take a while to heal.”
The Adventurer asked, “Are you ok? I accidentally almost sliced your arm off.”
Thomas answered, “I’m fine. Wait, you did that. I thought that the Draco did that.”
The Adventurer said, “My apologies. I didn’t know that you were in front of the Draco.”
Thomas said, “There’s no need to worry. I’ll be fine. Thank you for worrying though.”
Thomas turned around and walked away.
While he was walking, the Dungeon Council called and said, “This is Thomas Kent right.”
Thomas answered, “Yes. Who may you be?”
Yadira Nixon said, “We’re members of the Dungeon Council. Are you heading back from your first entrance in the Dungeon?”
Thomas answered, “Yeah. Why do you ask?”
Jack Roth answered, “We would like to speak with you.”
Thomas said, “Sure thing. I’m on my way to the exit of the Dungeon now. Oh, and have a doctor ready for me. I almost had my arm chopped off by an Adventurer.”
Jack heard that and asked, “Was it on purpose or accident?”
Thomas answered, “Accident. A Draco was in his way of him being able to see me.”
Jack said, “No wonder why the ground was shaking up here. The Draco was on the first floor. They escaped.”
Thomas said, “Don’t worry, I defeated it.”
Yadira heard that and said, “You just became an Adventurer kid. You are taking unnecessary risks.”
Thomas said, “You should be more happy that I didn’t let it out of the Dungeon.”
They heard that and said, “Your sister would probably say the same thing. But you have no emotions. Hurry on over. We’ll have doctors waiting for you.”
Thomas said, “Thank you. I’ll meet you there.”
They said, “Understood.”
Thomas hung up and put the phone away and then walked toward the exit and then Small Dogs appeared and then Thomas turned his head and said, “You gotta be kidding me.”
The Small Dogs ran toward him and Thomas turned around and the 2 Small Dogs jumped up and Thomas went underneath them and swung his Striker at there chests and they disappeared above him giving him 20 XP. Thomas saw the Gem Stones on the ground and picked them up and put them in his bag and then walked out of the Dungeon and said, “I finally made it out of the Dungeon. But the Dungeon is quite fun. Can’t wait for my arm to heal.”
He walked toward the tallest building in Silverbury and said, “So that’s where the Dungeon Council is being held. And they want to meet me. Oh well.”
He walked into the Dungeon Council’s building and walked to the registry and the registrar, Veronica Serrano asked, “How may I help you?”
Thomas answered, “I’m Thomas Kent. I believe that the Dungeon Council is waiting for me. Do you know where I could find them?”
Veronica answered, “Yes, just take the stairs up to the top and then walk straight till you get to the big guards. They are quite handsome.”
Thomas said, “Well, I’m not a girl. So I wouldn’t know what you feel about them. But I have no feelings at all so I wouldn’t be able to feel any love towards anyone. So thank you for telling me.”
Veronica said, “No problem.”
Thomas walked all the way up the stairs and the guards saw him and said, “You must be Thomas Kent. The Council members told us that an injured man should be appearing here soon. Well, they are waiting for you inside.”
Thomas said, “Thank you.”
The guards opened the door and the Council members saw the door open and smoke appeared and Thomas walked through the smoke and then the smoke disappeared and Thomas said, “Too many stairs to climb guys. Is there a bloody elevator in here?”
Everyone laughed and said, “Welcome to the Dungeon Council, Thomas Kent. We heard a lot about you from your older sister. Well, let’s get down to business.”
Thomas said, “The doctors.”
Jack said, “OK. They are on their way here.”
Yadira said, “Well, last time we called you, you gave us a fuck you as an answer and then hung up.”
Thomas said, “Sorry about that. I was just pissed off that day. Even an emotionless boy could get pissed off. But I’m not telling you why though.”
Ian Forest said, “Well, you don’t have to. We didn’t call you down here for that.”
Jack said, “We would like you to join a Familia. And only 6 people are willing to accept you. Introduce yourselves one at a time.”
Aphrodite said, “I’m a Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite. It’s a pleasure to meet you Thomas Kent.”
Ares said, “I’m Ares, the God of War. And I hope to have aboard my Familia.”
Hestia said, “I’m Hestia, Goddess of Homes. And I’ll be capable of giving you a new place to live in.”
Chaos said, “I’m Chaos, the Goddess of the Void. I hope that you choose me. I’m quite lonely.”
Nemesis said, “I’m Nemesis, Goddess of Revenge. You seem to want a lot of revenge. Join me.”
Chronos said, “I’m Chronos, God of Time. You have a lot of lost time. I think that it would be better if you choose me.”
Thomas looked at the 6 Gods and Goddesses and then noticed that Aphrodite was in a wheelchair and said, “So Aphrodite’s in a wheelchair, huh.”
Aphrodite said, “You don't sound surprised.”
Thomas said, “I am surprised. But you know, emotionless people like me don’t show it.”
Hestia said, “You are surprisingly calm. Didn’t you scream when you were injured?”
Thomas answered, “Nope. I realized that I was injured after the Adventurer said that he was sorry.”
Yadira asked, “Are you slow or something?”
Thomas answered, “Not at all. Totally.”
They laughed and said, “OK. Who will you choose?”
Thomas answered, “Aphrodite.”
Everyone heard that and Aphrodite asked, “Is there a reason for choosing me right off the bat?”
Thomas answered, “Yes, I love torturing injured people.”
Aphrodite heard that and Thomas said, “Just kidding.”
Aphrodite said, “You are mean.”
Thomas said, “I agree.”
The doctors arrived and asked, “Where’s our patient?”
Thomas answered, “Right here.”
The doctors looked at his arm and they put a carpet on the floor and said, “Lay down on the carpet please.”
Thomas did and Melissa Conway said, “Well, it seems that he choose for himself. The other 5 may leave.”
They said, “Yes ma’am. Thank you for having us.”
They left and Aphrodite said, “I’m glad that you chose me Thomas.”
Thomas said, “No problem.”
Yadira said, “That’s because you’ll be her first member of her Familia.”
Thomas said, “I see. Well, I’m glad to be of help.”
Aphrodite said, “Well, when you feel better, do whatever you need to do.”
The doctors finished 5 hours later and said, “He’s healed.”
Yadira said, “OK.”
Aphrodite said, “Let’s turn in your Gem Stones and turn them into Gems.”
Thomas said, “OK. Let’s go.”
2: Completing Area 1-AThomas stood up and Aphrodite rolled herself to Thomas’s location and said, “Let’s take the elevator.”
Thomas said, “So there is an elevator. Man, I should have taken it. But I don’t know where it is. Well, I can’t complain. I’m new to this sort of thing.”
Aphrodite smiled and said, “I bet that you are.”
Thomas pushed her into the elevator and she pressed the button and Aphrodite asked, “Why did you become an Adventurer?”
Thomas answered, “The same reason my sister became one. Just for the hell of it.”
Aphrodite laughed and said, “So you’re willing to die for no reason at all.”
Thomas answered, “I’m afraid so.”
Aphrodite said, “You truly are an interesting one.”
Thomas said, “A lot of people say that. But a lot people hate me too.”
Aphrodite said, “I bet that they do.”
Thomas sighed and said, “You aren’t nice at all.”
Aphrodite said, “Oh shut up. We’re on the same side. Plus, as soon as we’re done with turning your Gem Stones into Gems, let’s go buy you some armor and a new weapon.”
Thomas said, “Sure thing. My choice right.”
Aphrodite said, “Of course.”
Thomas looked at her and they went to the Guild building and a half-elf, Wendy Brady asked, “How may I help you?”
Aphrodite said, “I’m Aphrodite and this is my first member Thomas Kent. I would like him to be able to turn his Gem Stones into Gems.”
Wendy heard that and looked at him and asked, “What level are you?”
Thomas answered, “Rank 1 - Level 4.”
Wendy said, “OK. Hand in your money over to them.”
Thomas walked over to them and took out his Gem Stones and put them on the tray and Karin Park took them in and handed him 40,000 Gems and said, “40,000 Gems.”
Thomas said, “Thank you.”
Aphrodite said, “Let’s buy you some better equipment. What are you in to? Swords, knives, daggers, spears?"
Thomas answered, “Swords are nice. But I used a dagger. But I rather have a knife. But swords will do just fine.”
Aphrodite said, “You really are an interesting little fellow. Let’s go.”
Thomas asked, “Where are we going?”
Aphrodite answered, “To the top of Tower.”
Thomas said, “The top of the Tower, huh.”
Aphrodite said, “Yep. It’s got a lot of neat items that you’ll like kid. I guarantee it.”
Thomas said, “OK.”
They got to the top of the Tower and Aphrodite said, “Take a look around. You’ll find something that interests you soon.”
Thomas walked around and found a sword that had a dragon's handle and said, “Dragon Core. Sounds like a fun item to play with.”
He looked at the price tag and said, “15,000 Gems, huh. OK. I’ll buy this sword.”
Aphrodite looked at him and Thomas took it and then went to the armor section and looked around and found an armor called Ice Mercenary.
Thomas said, “Ice Mercenary, huh. It costs 20,000 Gems. OK, that leaves me 5,000 Gems to buy myself dinner today. That’s good enough for me.”
Thomas picked it up and walked toward the clerk and put the gear and sword on the counter and the clerk saw that and said, “I see. You are the only one to buy this man’s work.”
Thomas said, “It suits my tastes. It’ll cost 35,000 Gems right.”
The clerk said, “Yes it will.”
Thomas put 35,000 Gems on the counter and took the items and put them on him and the clerk saw that and said, “He looks beautiful. I never thought that his gear would actually look good on someone. But this is like seeing a God.”
Thomas looked at Aphrodite and she said, “You look wonderful Thomas. Let’s go get something to eat.”
Thomas said, “OK.”
Thomas pushed her to the elevator and went all the way down.
As soon as they got to the bottom floor, Thomas pushed her to the Hostess of Happiness and Aphrodite said, “This is the best place to eat. You only have 5,000 Gems left. Which means that you have to earn more tomorrow morning in the Dungeon.”
Thomas said, “Yeah, I know. I was planning on going further than what I did today, but I almost had my arm chopped off. But I don’t blame the person.”
Aphrodite asked, “Why not?”
Thomas answered, “The Draco are big dragon like beings. And I was in the front and he was in the back. I killed it and he swung and missed the kill and hit me instead. It was all an accident.”
Aphrodite said, “You’re right.”
They entered the Hostess Club and the owner looked at them and said, “Oh Aphrodite, you finally got someone to help you out.”
Aphrodite said, “Yep. Everyone, meet Thomas Kent. A man that defeated a Draco at level 1. Rank 1.”
Everyone heard that and said, “You gained 3 levels in the process. Nice work.”
Thomas said, “Thank you very much.”
Aphrodite asked, “Are there any free tables?”
They answered, “Yep. All the way in the corner.”
Thomas said, “Thank you. Which corner?”
The owner laughed and said, “Any corner.”
Thomas said, “You choose.”
Aphrodite said, “The one closest to the kitchen.”
Thomas said, “OK.”
Thomas looked at the 2 corners close to the kitchen and Thomas walked to the right corner and put her in front of the table and Thomas sat against the wall and said, “I’ll take anything that’s good.”
Aphrodite said, “I’ll have my usual.”
The owner said, “OK.”
Aphrodite said, “And make sure it’s under 5,000 Gems. That’s all we got left today.”
The owner said, “Understood.”
The owner started making the food and Aphrodite said, “Thomas, why did you decide to help me?”
Thomas answered, “Injured people should live a good life. So I’m going to make you happy and give you a good life.”
Everyone heard that and Thomas said, “I also hate seeing injured people alone all the time. It gets quite depressing.”
Aphrodite said, “You would go that far for me.”
Thomas answered, “Yes. Yes I would.”
The hostesses said, “Awww. He’s a great man. I wish that I found a man like him.”
Aphrodite asked, “Are you trying to get all of the women’s attention Thomas?”
Thomas answered, “Not at all. I’m just trying to make conversation with the person I chose to be a member of her Familia.”
Aphrodite looked at him and said, “Oh stop. I’m falling in love with you man.”
Thomas said, “I see. My sister seduced me once because of how I talk when women are around me. It’s quite scary to be exact.”
5 minutes later, the food appeared in front of them and said, “This will be 2,500 Gems and the drinks are 1,000 Gems. Which leaves you 1,500 Gems.”
Thomas said, “She’s right. She’s smarter than me.”
Aphrodite heard that and asked, “How slow are you?”
Thomas answered, “Good question.”
They started eating and the owner said, “So you are Thomas Kent. You were the Adventurer that took out a Rank 4 monster when you were a Rank 1 Adventurer. And Level 1 in fact.”
Thomas said, “Yep. Shit gets around fast.”
The owner said, “Well, yes it does. And that was your first time entering the Dungeon right.”
Thomas answered, “Yep. When my arm heals, I’ll be heading back out. But I’ll probably just go tomorrow morning.”
Aphrodite said, “Even with an injured arm.”
Thomas answered, “Yeah. All I need to swing a sword and a dagger is my right hand. Not my left.”
The owner said, “You have balls kid.”
Thomas said, “Plus, according to the doctors, my wounds should heal over night.”
The owner said, “I see. Well, I hope that you feel better.”
Aphrodite said, “Thomas, you really are insane. But I love you for it.”
Thomas said, “I bet that you do.”
They finished eating 3 minutes later, then the group that let the Draco loose on the lower floors walked into the club and Aphrodite saw them and then Thomas saw the man that injured him and Thomas asked, “Are you ready to leave?”
Aphrodite answered, “Yep. Are you Thomas?”
Thomas answered, “Nope. I forgot to pay.”
Aphrodite yelled, “What the hell? You truly are dumb as hell.”
Thomas said, “Don’t be so mean. Shit.”
Thomas took out 3,500 Gems and put it down on the table and said, “There you go miss. We’ll be back whenever we’re back.”
The owner said, “I bet that you will. And you better remember the money next time.”
Thomas said, “Oh shut up. You sound like my damn sister.”
The owner laughed and said, “That’s because she’s right there.”
Thomas heard that and turned his head and she said, “Hello Thomas.”
Thomas said, “Hello.”
She looked at his arm and asked, “What happened to you?”
Thomas answered, “Ask one of your friends here. They almost chopped my arm off by accident. Well, see you now. I’m going to sleep.”
She heard that and Aphrodite said, “Let’s go home Thomas.”
Thomas said, “Yep.”
She looked at him and Thomas pushed her to her place and said, “Here we go.”
Thomas pushed her up the ramp to her house and Thomas pushed her to bed and Aphrodite asked, “Would you like to sleep on my bed?”
Thomas answered, “If you are ok with it.”
Aphrodite said, “I’m ok with it.”
Thomas took his gear off and then his shirt and went on to the bed and went to sleep. The next morning, she checked his status and started by putting her hands above his back and his stats were amazingly high and she put her hands down as soon as the numbers stopped moving and Aphrodite put a blank piece of paper on his back and then put her finger there in a circular motion.
A bright light appeared and then the words appeared and said, “All done. You may look now.”
Thomas turned over and she handed him the paper and Thomas said, “So these are my stats.”
Aphrodite said, “Yep. Read them out loud.”
Thomas said, “OK. Strength is 200. Endurance is 200. Dexterity is 200. Agility is 400. Magic is 0. And I gained a Skill, huh.”
Aphrodite said, “Yes you did. It’s called Eternal Curse. Eternal Curse is not a good skill to have. But now that you have it, you are just like us Gods and Goddesses. Which most likely means that you are immortal.”
Thomas heard that and said, “Shit. I have to be on this planet for eternity. That sucks. But as long as I’m with you, I’ll be happy.”
Aphrodite heard that and started blushing and said, “Well, you are off to the Dungeon now right.”
Thomas said, “Yep. Is that a problem?”
Aphrodite answered, “Nope. I have to go to work. So I have no problem with you going.”
Thomas said, “OK. Let’s go.”
They appeared out of the house and Thomas walked to the Dungeon and said, “Here I go.”
As soon as he got to the entrance, Freya appeared and said, “Thomas.”
Thomas heard that and stopped and turned his head and saw a beautiful figure and asked, “Who are you?”
Freya answered, “I’m Freya. A Goddess of Beauty.”
Thomas said, “I see. What would a Goddess like you want with a man like me?”
Freya answered, “I would like to ask you a question.”
Thomas said, “Ask it then.”
Freya asked, “What is your relationship between you and Aphrodite?”
Thomas answered, “She’s the head of the Familia. I’m just working for her. That’s all there is to it.”
Freya said, “I see. So you don’t like her as a girlfriend.”
Thomas said, “It depends. I might change my mind.”
Freya heard that and said, “I see. If I told you that someone was going to rape her today, what would you do?”
Thomas answered, “It’s quite simple. I’ll come to her aide.”
Freya smiled and said, “Well, a group of people will try to rape her today. You might be able to do something about it.”
Thomas sighed and asked, “Why are you telling me this?”
Freya answered, “Because you are her only Familia member.”
Thomas said, “I see. Goodbye.”
She heard that and said, “Huh, you’re leaving.”
Thomas said, “Yep. Goodbye.”
He walked into the Dungeon and Freya said, “He truly is emotionless.”
Thomas walked half way into Area 1-A and 3 Lingers appeared. Lingers are small Monsters that look like worms. But they move like a snake and are very fast. But their attacks are weak.
Thomas looked at them and they flew toward him and Thomas said, “These things hold Slime, right. I think that my sister said something like that. But I don’t remember anymore.”
They flew passed him and Thomas saw that and turned around and they jumped up and Thomas swung at them with his sword and the 3 Lingers were cut in half and then Thomas started swinging his sword and dagger over and over again and they vanished 3 Slime appeared and Gem Stones appeared as well. He also gained 45 XP from killing the 3 of them. Thomas picked them up and then continued walking to the end of Area 1-A, but was interrupted again. This time by 4 Goblins. They were holding axes.
Thomas looked at the Goblins and said, “I doubt that I can look up to his expectations. But as long as I have this skill, I shall be fine.”
The Goblins roared and Thomas looked at them and they ran toward him and they swung their axes at him and Thomas moved back. Then he ran forward and swung his sword and they fell down and disappeared. He gained 80 XP, along with Gem Stones. He picked up the Gem Stones and continued walking forward.
But after he walked 2 ft. from his current position, the ground started shaking and Thomas looked ahead and then something started to appear and Thomas said, “You can’t be serious.”
The Fire Sword appeared and Thomas said, “Huh, what the hell is that?”
He pointed his sword at it and then took his phone out and took a picture of it and it said, “That’s a Fire Sword. It rarely appears on the 1st Floor. But is only on the 1st Floor. It appearing before you means that you are a worthy opponent for it to face. It’s a Rank 1 Monster. It’ll give you at least 65 XP.”
Thomas heard that and put his phone away and the Fire Sword flew toward him and Thomas put his sword up and the Fire Sword lowered itself and Thomas put the sword downwards and then the Fire Sword rose as soon as it got close to him and Thomas lifted the sword up and blocked it and the Fire Sword roared and continued to swing at him and Thomas blocked and swung with his dagger and the Fire Sword flew back and Thomas asked, “Why is it afraid of getting hit? But isn’t afraid to get blocked.”
The Fire Sword flew toward him and Thomas looked at it and swung his sword as soon as it got close and the 2 swords collided and then the Fire Sword started to crack and Thomas said, “I see. That’s why.”
The Fire Sword flew back and then Thomas stared at it and ran toward the Fire Sword and as soon as he got close, he swung and the Fire Sword tried moving back, but was too late. The Fire Sword vanished and Thomas gained 65 XP, along with 4 Amber, a blueprint, and Gem Stones.
Thomas picked them all up and Thomas said, “A blueprint, huh. Phoenix Fire is it’s name. Interesting.”
He put it in his pocket and then walked away. As soon as he got to the end, the Area Boss appeared. The Area Boss is a Wannabe Bee. Wannabe Bee is a bee that is 10 times the size of an original bee from the surface. It’s stinger is deadly. It also contains a poison that kills a man instantly.
Thomas stared at the Wannabe Bee and said, “So this is the Area Boss. It’s just like she said. It’s just like a regular bee, but 10 times bigger and is poisonous.”
The Wannabe Bee flew toward him and Thomas stared at it and as soon as it got close, the Wannabe Bee turned around and Thomas moved back and then walked forward and swung his sword and the Wannabe Bee swung its stinger at him and Thomas moved the sword back as well as his body and the Wannabe Bee saw that and Thomas ran forward and then slid underneath the Wannabe Bee and swung the dagger at it and cut it in half and Thomas said, “There we go. Defeated the Area Boss.”
The Wannabe Bee gave Thomas 80 XP, along with a Stinger and Gem Stones. Thomas picked them up and then walked away. He walked through the gate to get to the next area and saw 3 entrances to choose from. They were 1-AB-1, 1-B, and 1-AB-2.
Thomas said, “I guess that I’ll choose tomorrow. For the meantime, I’ll go home for the day.”
3: Aphrodite Gets AttackedThomas turned around and said, “OK. Time to go home.”
Thomas walked through the gate and started walking through Area 1-A. While he was walking around Area 1-A, 5 Goblins appeared and Thomas stared at them and the Goblins roared and then ran toward him and Thomas saw that and flew toward them and Thomas appeared behind them and started to sheath his sword and the Goblins turned around and started to swing their axes and Thomas fully sheathed his sword and they vanished and Thomas gained 100 XP, along with Gem Stones and then a Small Dog appeared right after that.
Thomas saw the Small Dog and asked, “Why now?”
The Small Dog roared and Thomas ran toward it and stabbed it with his dagger and said, “That was a little too easy.”
He gained 10 XP, along with 4 Dog Teeth and Gem Stones. He also is now Level 5.
Thomas continued walking toward the exit of the Dungeon and then 4 Lingers appeared and Thomas stared at them and said, “Lingers, huh. Let’s see how I handle this.”
They started squirming around and then jumped up and attacked him, but Thomas swung his sword before they could do any damage. They vanished and Thomas gained 60 XP, along with 4 Slime and Gem Stones. Thomas picked them up and put them away.
He started walking away and Thomas got to the exit and said, “OK, I finally made it to the exit. It’s time to turn in the Gem Stones.”
He walked into the Guild and Wendy said, “Oh Thomas, you came back from the Dungeon, I see.”
Thomas said, “Yep.”
He walked over to Karin and put the Gem Stones in front of her and she said, “A nice amount today I see. But it isn’t as much as yesterday.”
Thomas said, “I know.”
Karin smiled and said, “OK. 10,000 Gems is what you have today.”
Thomas said, “Thank you.”
Thomas put it away and walked out. While he was walking home, Aphrodite was in an alleyway rolling herself home.
Aphrodite said, “I wonder what Thomas would like to eat for dinner today. He seems to like Ramen. But should I get it for him. I don’t know. I really am grateful to him, so I’ll make him some.”
After she said that, a man from the Indra Familia walked in front of her and asked, “Where are you going, pretty girl?”
Aphrodite heard that and looked at them and asked, “What do you want with me?”
The Indra Familia member answered, “Your body. Please hand it over or the man that broke into your house will have you. And he isn’t that nice of a man.”
Aphrodite heard that and said, “I won’t give you any part of my body. My body belongs to Thomas Kent. And only Thomas Kent.”
He heard that and said, “He will die soon. So you better be prepared to watch him die in front of you.”
Aphrodite started laughing and he asked, “What’s so funny?”
Aphrodite answered, “You can’t kill Thomas even if you wanted to. The reason is because of the Skill that he earned. Eternal Curse.”
The man smiled and said, “Eternal Curse. No matter what it is, it has a weakness. As long as we pull that, we pull him.”
Aphrodite heard that and he grabbed her shirt and pulled it off of her and she screamed and Thomas heard that and ran toward her and while he was running toward her location, 4 Indra Familia members appeared in front of him and said, “We can’t allow you to go any further. Please die.”
Thomas heard that and they took their swords out and Thomas saw that and took his sword out and they started attacking each other and Thomas blocked all of their attacks and said, “You better let me through.”
Aphrodite asked, “W-W-What are y-y-you doing? Don’t touch me there.”
He groped her boobs and she said, "Aaaahhhh. Stop please."
Thomas heard that and Thomas grinned and started attacking them and hit the 4 of them in the back of the head with the handle of his dagger while he blocked their attacks with his sword.
As soon as that happened, Thomas lifted them up and started running toward Aphrodite’s voice and Aphrodite said, “Stop, please. I’m begging you.”
Thomas appeared in front of the alleyway and threw his friends forward and the man heard that and turned around and saw them on the ground and said, “Oh come on. You can’t be serious. All 4 of you got taken out by one lousy man.”
Thomas said, “If you continue to rape her, I’ll tear you to shreds. But if you don’t, I’ll let it slide.”
He took his sword out and the man saw that and said, “He’s serious about it too.”
He whistled and then the man that broke into the house walked out and the man said, “Feast on him.”
The man smiled and said, “You’re my opponent, huh. Let’s see, how shall I kill you?”
Thomas turned his head and the man saw that his eyes were red and said, “You are going to be fun.”
He ran toward him and the man in front of Aphrodite continued to play with Aphrodite and Thomas heard that and Thomas stabbed the man in the head and yelled, “What did I tell you?”
Thomas took his sword out of his head and the man turned around and saw that his strongest man collapsed with blood gushing out of his head and said, “You can’t be serious.”
Thomas swiped his sword and the blood flew off of the blade and the man started laughing and said, “You murderer.”
Thomas walked toward him and cut the other 4 guys up as well and killed them and the man said, “You can’t be serious. You are going to kill me. I’m begging you man. Don’t do this.”
Thomas heard that and said, “It’s too late for that. You continued to rape her. And she already told you that she belonged to someone.”
He asked, “How did you know that? You weren’t anywhere near here when she said it.”
Thomas answered, “The Eternal Curse is amazing, isn’t it? I’m capable of hearing a voice from 2 miles away. Now tell me something man. Are you willing to die for what you’ve done to her? Or face my wrath?”
He heard that and answered, “Either way, I’m dead, right.”
Thomas answered, “Yes. Just like your friends.”
He smiled and swung his sword at her and Thomas appeared in front of her and blocked the sword and swung him into the wall and the man saw that and said, “Impossible.”
The man looked at Thomas and fire started to appear around his body and Aphrodite saw that and said, “Eternal Curse is taking over his body.”
Thomas said, “Nope. I have full control. Now, die bastard!!!!”
The man laughed and flew toward him and Thomas stood there and they swung their swords at each other and the power that the Eternal Curse gave him is formidable and the man’s sword shattered into millions of pieces and Thomas kicked them into his chest and the man coughed out blood and Thomas stabbed him and then took out his sword and swiped the blood off of it and then took a cloth out and cleaned it and Aphrodite said, “You killed them all.”
Thomas took off his shirt and put it on her and said, “Yes I did. But you should understand one thing about me before we enter the house.”
Aphrodite heard that and asked, “What would that be Thomas?”
Thomas answered, “I’m not who you think I am. I always had 2 personalities. 1 that doesn’t care about anything and the other is this side. A killing machine.”
She heard that and said, “Thank you for saving me.”
Thomas lifted her up, over the bodies and then put her down and pushed her into the house and said, “That Goddess was right.”
Aphrodite asked, “What Goddess was right?”
Thomas answered, “Freya said that you were going to get raped today. And it happened.”
Aphrodite said, “That bitch. Sending her people to rape me.”
Thomas said, “I’m not so sure about that. Those people weren’t from Freya’s Familia. They were from Indra’s Familia.”
Aphrodite said, “Indra’s Familia. I know that he hates me, but I didn’t actually think that he loved me.”
Thomas said, “He doesn’t love you. He probably wanted you to go over your limits so they could easily take you away. But their plan failed because of my Skill. So don’t worry about a thing Aphrodite-sama.”
Aphrodite heard that and they entered the house and Aphrodite said, “Push me to the kitchen please Thomas.”
Thomas asked, “Do you think that you could handle making food?”
Aphrodite answered, “Yes.”
Thomas heard that and said, “No you aren’t. I’ll make Ramen for you.”
Aphrodite heard that and said, “By the way Thomas, did you know that when you grow stronger, your Skill, Eternal Curse will get stronger. And you’ll get a lot stronger than you are now when you used it.”
Thomas said, “I see. Thank you for telling me. That truly is good news.”
Thomas pushed her to the kitchen and put her in front of the kitchen table and then he washed his hands.
As soon as he washed his hands, he started cooking and Aphrodite asked, “Do you even know how to cook?”
Thomas answered, “Hell no. This is my first time trying to do something for someone.”
Aphrodite said, “This is going to be horrible. I’m going to die by eating food.”
Thomas said, “Don’t say that. It’s not even made yet and you’re saying such things.”
Aphrodite said, “I’m sorry. Maybe I’m just nervous from the attack earlier.”
Thomas said, “I see. Maybe we should just eat out today.”
Aphrodite said, “Nah, I’d like to taste your cooking. Even if it is terrible.”
Thomas said, “Oh shut up.”
Thomas finished 10 minutes later and then made 2 bowls full of Ramen and brought them to the table and put one in front of Aphrodite and then one next to her and Thomas said, “Eat up. At least I get to save money today.”
Aphrodite asked, “How much does that leave you with then?”
Thomas answered, “11,500 Gems.”
Aphrodite said, “Not that bad.”
She started eating and said, “This is good. This can’t be your first time cooking.”
Thomas said, “Well, it is.”
Thomas tasted it and said, “You’re right, this is good.”
They devoured it and Thomas made another bowl for the 2 of them and the pot was empty and said, “This is the last of it. So please eat up.”
Aphrodite took it out of his hands and ate it all and Thomas smiled and then she took the other bowl which Thomas was going to eat and Thomas saw that and said, “Huh. You are that hungry. Damn.”
Aphrodite laughed and said, “I’m hungry.”
Thomas said, “I see. Well, if you need me. I’ll be sleeping.”
Aphrodite said, “Wait for me. Don’t leave me alone.”
Thomas heard that and said, “Alright. I won’t leave you alone.”
As soon as he said that, she finished eating the third bowl of Ramen and Thomas yelled, “You pig.”
Aphrodite yelled, “I’m not a pig. Your food is just too good.”
Thomas sighed and pushed her to the bedroom and put her on to the bed and she undressed herself and Thomas went on to the bed and slept.
Aphrodite stared at him and said, “Good night honey. See you tomorrow.”
She went to sleep hugging him.
4: Area 1-AB-1The next morning, Thomas woke up and felt her boobs pressing against his back and said to himself, “She’s pressing her boobs against my back. She really cares about me, huh.”
Thomas grabbed her arm and then moved it to the side and then got off of the bed and Aphrodite said, “Get back on the bed Thomas. I didn’t update your status yet.”
Thomas heard that and said, “Yes ma’am.”
He got back on to the bed and laid on his stomach and asked, “Did you sleep well?”
Aphrodite answered, “Yes I did. Thank you for a good night sleep.”
Thomas heard that and said, “I didn’t do anything. You did it all yourself.”
Aphrodite heard that and said, “So, what are you planning on doing today?”
Thomas answered, “Entering a new Area in the Dungeon today. I completed Area 1-A yesterday. So I’ll choose which path to take today.”
Aphrodite put the paper on his back and moved her finger in a circle and the symbols started appearing and said, “All done.”
Thomas turned over and she handed him the paper and Thomas said, “Rank 1-Level 5. Strength is now 500. Endurance is now 450. Dexterity is now 450. Agility is now 1000. Magic is now 0. And nothing else changed, huh.”
Aphrodite said, “I’m afraid not.”
Thomas sighed and said, “I guess that I’ll get back to work.”
Aphrodite smiled and said, “OK. Get back out there and earn me some money.”
Thomas said, “Nope. I’ll earn myself money. You earn your own money.”
Aphrodite said, “You’re so mean.”
Thomas said, “No I’m not. I’m only saying what I think is right. So you earn your own money and I’ll earn my own money. Then I’ll buy myself dinner when I get back.”
Aphrodite said, “You’re not going to take me with you.”
Thomas said, “That’s only if you come at the same time I get there. Well, I’ll be taking my leave now.”
He got out of bed and got dressed and then walked toward the Dungeon. Aphrodite walked herself to her wheelchair and rolled herself to her dresser and picked clothes to wear for work and then rolled herself to her job. As soon as Thomas got to the entrance to the Dungeon, he walked in without thinking about anything. He entered Area 1-A and walked inside. He walked around and as soon as he got half way inside Area 1-A, 2 Small Dogs appeared and Thomas looked at them and the Small Dogs roared at him and Thomas looked at them and they ran toward him and as soon as they got close, Thomas swung at them. But missed because they jumped over his head and Thomas saw that and swung his dagger and they vanished and Thomas gained 20 XP, along with 5 Dog Teeth and Gem Stones. He picked them up and then walked away. While he was walking, he asked, “What brought the Dungeon here anyway? That’s a really good question. But this is going to be fun.”
As soon as he said the word ‘fun’ 4 Lingers appeared and roared at him and Thomas looked at them and said, “4 Lingers, huh. I guess that these worm things love me. Let’s go.”
The Lingers squirmed around him and Thomas watched them and said, “I see. These guys have a little bit of intelligence. This should be a little more difficult than last time.”
The Lingers flew toward him and Thomas saw that and swung his sword around and they all jumped up and Thomas saw that and said, “They dodged that. But how about this?”
Thomas swung his dagger at them and cut them in half and then started swinging his sword and then they disappeared. Thomas gained 60 XP, along with 2 Slime and Gem Stones. He picked everything up and put it away and kept walking away. Then he made it to the end of Area 1-A and the Wannabe Bee appeared and Thomas stared at it and said, “Here you are. The Area Boss, huh.”
The Wannabe Bee flew toward him and Thomas looked at its movements and as soon as it got close to him, Thomas moved out of the way. As soon as he did that, he swung his sword at the Wannabe Bee and the stinger of the Wannabe Bee appeared and Thomas moved back and the Wannabe Bee roared and flew toward him and Thomas saw that and jumped over it and swung his sword and missed and then tossed his dagger down at it and it barely hit it and Thomas said, “I missed. I need bloody accuracy. But this will do.”
Thomas landed on the ground and the Wannabe Bee saw that he wasn’t looking and flew toward him and Thomas heard the wings flapping and Thomas jumped up and the Wannabe Bee saw that and Thomas swung his sword at it and the Wannabe Bee turned around quickly and Thomas lifted his sword up and Thomas moved back a little afterwards and said, “Oh boy. I guess that I have to go for that approach.”
Thomas looked at the Wannabe Bee and the Wannabe Bee roared at him and it flew toward him and Thomas ran toward it and as soon as they got close to each other, the Wannabe Bee turned around and Thomas slid on the ground and the Wannabe Bee saw that and started spinning in circles and couldn’t find him and Thomas swung his sword upwards and cut it in half and it disappeared. He gained 80 XP, along with 1 Stinger and Gem Stones. He picked up his dagger. Then he walked through the door and appeared in the room that he has to choose the next area to go. As soon as he got there, he looked at the entrances and said, “Area 1-AB-1, Area 1-B, or Area 1-AB-2. This should be a hard decision. But I’ll choose quickly. I’ll just head down Area 1-AB-1.”
He walked toward the door and opened it. As soon as that happened, the habitat around him went from rocks to an island. Thomas said, “Scenery changed from a cave to a island, huh. This looks quite exciting. What type of enemies will I be facing here.”
Thomas started walking inside and then 2 Skeleton Pirates appeared and roared and Thomas looked at them and they were holding swords and Thomas looked at the swords and said, “Skeleton Pirates, huh. So I’m up against pirates. This should be fun.”
Thomas walked toward them and the 2 Skeleton Pirates ran toward him and Thomas saw that and as soon as they got close to him, they swung their swords at him and Thomas blocked them with ease. He then pushed them back a little and then they roared at him and Thomas said, “OK. Let’s try this. What are you 2 hiding from me?”
He looked at them and said, “Oh, hold up. If I’m facing pirates, that means that there’s a treasure chest here somewhere. This area might take me awhile to accomplish.”
The Skeleton Pirates ran toward him and Thomas saw that and they swung at him and Thomas moved back and one of the swords hit his skin and cut a little bit off and Thomas felt that and said, “I see. So they are pretty good.”
Thomas ran toward them and they saw that and as soon as Thomas got close to them, he appeared behind them and slowly started putting his sword away. While he was putting his sword away, the Skeleton Pirates turned around and swung at him and Thomas sensed the swords and then he immediately sheathed his sword. As soon as that happened, the Skeleton Pirates shattered into millions pieces and it gave him 70 XP, along with 2 Bones, a blueprint and Gem Stones. He picked everything up and put everything away except for the blueprint. He looked at it and it said, “Bone Sword.”
Thomas said, “I can create a Bone Sword, huh. This should be interesting.”
He continued walking around Area 1-AB-1 and said, “This place is amazing.”
Then 3 Pirate Musketeers and they each were holding a sword and said, “Pirate Musketeers, huh. This should be fun.”
Thomas looked at them and they ran toward him and Thomas stood there and they swung at him and Thomas put his sword up sideways and blocked all of the attacks and lifted his sword up and they flew up a little and Thomas grinned and swung his sword at them and they blocked it with ease and Thomas saw that and then they swung him into a tree and Thomas flew there and hit his head hard and stayed there for awhile and they looked at him and then looked at each other and nodded and they started running toward him and Thomas heard their footsteps and as soon as they got close to him, Thomas took his head out of the wall and headbutted one of them in the head causing him to bleed out from the top of his head and the man that he hit vanished and Thomas saw that and said, “That really hurt. But I can’t complain though.”
The other 2 saw that and missed their chance to kill him. They looked at each other and Thomas looked them and they ran toward him and Thomas swung his sword at them and they blocked it and Thomas swung his dagger at them and cut their guts out and they disappeared and Thomas started breathing heavily and gained 120 XP, along with 5 Emeralds, 3 Rubys, 1 Diamond, and Gem Stones. Thomas picked them up and then put them away and said, “I guess that I’m done for the day. I’ll go home now.”
