Chapter 34: Normal Day
Chapter 32: Normal Day
Early that day, Evelyn secretly went to my room to speak for me. Her visit didn't shock me but what makes me surprise are her words. It's not an inquiry but more on like a warning. Then after that, she bid her farewell to the group. She said that she needs to fix some things back at her original words. No one questioned her because they understand that it could be probably with Rapunzel.
Rey's hideout is truly a remarkable one as the novel stated. Though, I always asked how such a thing was impossible in the novel. Well, I just thought of some mysterious wonders of the novel.
Rey's hideout was in the left corner of the city. It is a huge underground base. When we arrived at the location, we just simply find an old worn-out small house. The roof has some holes. And the walls that are made of woods seem ready to fall down with just one blow of a strong wind.
"Ummm. No offense dude. But how could we all stay here?" Dina said as she looks with dismay at the house.
Instead of Rey, Celene is the one who answered her with a laugh. "Hehehe. Don't judge a book by its cover."
"Please come in," Rey said politely.
Instead of a house, when they enter the door of the crumbled house, they found themselves walking in a small hallway. Then they end in front of a white door that leads them to some elevator. They rode it and it headed underground.
Once they reach the lowest ground which is the 10th floor.
Frea, Dina, and even the quiet Paul jaws almost drop on the ground when they saw the whole place once the elevator opened. It looks like a whole huge mansion is buried underground.
There are chandeliers on the high ceilings.
In the middle is a huge staircase with a blue carpet.
They are so many rooms. That all of them got to have of their own.
As soon as Via saw the bed, she immediately throws herself and lay there comfortably.
'Yep. Definitely, a place that would belong to a novel.' Via stretched her arms. She was finally able to have a good rest after all this time.
And soon afterward she headed finally to the dreamland.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I opened my eyes to find myself in a place similar to Eternal Day. There were vibrant colors of different flowers as they swing along with the wind. But there is something different. Instead of the small hut, there is a huge tree with colorful leaves in the middle of the place. As I look closer there is someone standing there. Her long black hair is flowing effortlessly with the wind. And she is wearing an all-white dress.
"Hi! Do you know what is this place?" I called out. As I am all a few inches away from her. The girl speaks.
"Via...You have done a great start." That voice!
"But don't forget that you are still far from the end. I expect a lot from you" Zash then turns herself to face me.
"Za-Zash..." I stumble with my words as I froze in my place.
"Please survive at the very end Via." At that words, Zash begins to turn to dust. The whole place started to rumble as everything becomes warp.
"Zash!" I clutched my heart that is beating faster. I could feel the cold sweat trickling in my forehead.
I try to look around to see where is Zash. But I realized I am in my room in Rey's hideout.
"A dream?"
I run my fingers to my hair as I took a deep breath to calm my nerves.
"What a weird dream. Hahaha. Zash really looks like some sort of white lady." I laugh as I vividly remembered my dream.
"Hahaha! And mark my words idiot! I'm not planning to follow you any time soon to wherever you are. Until my long-time animes not end, I will not have plans on dying you hear me!" Via held her fist in the air. As she looks above.
One might think that she is gone crazy with her nonsense. But she is not worried since she chose a soundproof room.
[...]
The system screen pops out in front of her. Huh? These three dots again?
Is it a malfunction again?
Well, anyway, this reminds me. I haven't checked my levels yet.
"Status," Via said.

After all that time my solitude skill still remains the same, Welp. We can't do anything if it's like that. I've gained new skills. And the Deus ex Machina. I wonder what would happen if I reach the fourth time. It is also astonishing seeing all my stats almost at three digits now. Then it means I've got stronger? But I still feel like I'm still normal.
I look at my phone. It is still early 3:00 am. But I don't feel like sleeping at all.
I open the novel file on my phone to confirm the next events.
As I scrolled down, I can't help but shivers to the next events.
'The Bahamut and the Monster War.'
These will be some messy events.
And it will soon happen in three days' time. I wonder why it is always three days.
I got up on the bed and do some stretching. From the pouch, I grab anything that I could eat. A can of milk and some melon bread. While munching my food I will also check my items.
"Inventory"
[Inventory
Fairy Tears <42>
Mana Potion <45>
Sleeping Gas <96>

It looks like just for the second event, I have used a lot of items.
"System"

I scrolled for more, and quietly satisfied with my rewards. Hah. Nice.
I do want to rest but if anyone of you thinks that three days time is such a long day to me. No. It's not.
Even as I speak of Argaux is busy leveling now. And Rey would also start this day. Aside from hunting monsters, there are already some ways to level up now.
Dungeons.
Rey and his group will head out today to one of the dungeons.
If I remember right, there are now seven dungeons that are available now.
Dungeon of Nightmare
Dungeon of Wonders
Dungeon of Doubts
Dungeon of Pleasure
Dungeon of Trust
Dungeon of Mischiefs
Dungeon of Bravery
It is unknown how many floors are in each dungeon but they are all much higher levels compared to the hidden dungeon we entered before.
You could only enter one dungeon for the length of three days' time.
Argaux entered the Dungeon of Nightmare. Rey will also do the same.
*Sigh*
Why are they a bunch of masochists?
Hmm. If I think about it, Rio has that skill. If Rey checked that already. Then maybe things will be much smoother this time because Rio is with them.
As for me, the Dungeon of Bravery is the one I'll enter.
After all, I didn't trouble Paul to get the <Sword of Brave> just for this event. This will be the time to upgrade that item to its full potential.
I decided to head out of my room. But as I walk outside an unexpected person, I meet an unexpected person I don't want to meet.
"Good morning!" Rey greeted.
"Good Morning, Sir Rey." I greet politely. Well, he is four years older than me after all.
Wait! I haven't seen his stats yet if I'm correct. Though I always see it in the novel. It is still different in real life.
I focus my <Insight> on Rey.

Welp, the same with Argaux I see. But, not that I mind. I already almost know of their skills base on the novel.
"Is something that matter? And please just call me Rey. I'm not really comfortable if someone is very polite to me." Rey said.
Oops. I must be absorbed with my thoughts.
"If that's what you wanted Rey. Then if you don't mind, I will head out for now."
"Head out? But it is still early in the morning." Rey dubiously looks at me.
[Is she up to something?]
I mentally sigh. "I can't sleep now. So I want to take some jog outside."
"Ah. Right. Then before that, I would like to ask you something. You have seen the dungeon list the system issued right? If you don't mind, I would like you to invite me to the Nightmare Dungeon?" Rey looks at me with expectation and a bright smile on his face.
"Sorry, but I will reject for now. I and my group decided to go already to the Dungeon of Bravery."
"Hey Via, good morning...Dungeon of Bravery?" As soon as I speak that someone approaches us. It is Paul rubbing his eyes off, then wear his glasses. It seems he just wake up just now.
"Oh, Paul, perfect timing! That's right! I came to discuss with you and the others about the dungeon! Let's wake up the others now. See you later again Rey!" I grab Paul's hand and grab him to who knows where.
Rey was left there speechless. 'I thought you will have a jog outside.'
