A Visa for Monsters?
After those words with Arkon, Sora continued his day in a daze.
He just nodded at Rasha's words without paying a lot of attention to them.
The next day, he received four messages telling him that Arkon and Sylgard left his body and entered the dungeon. He felt the loss of connection with them, but the contract was still there without any change.
He was just not able to give commands to them or have any news from them.
Sora continued his daily life like anything never happened.
Rose, Finn, Jin, and Heller didn't find something new and strange in Sora's activities. However, they continued observing him.
During the year, more and more hunters began to have clues about the disappearance of the leaders of the shadows.
The reason was simple: They got in contact with Arkon and Sylgard who have killed some low-level hunters in their fights.
The ones who survived were given a clue by the System.
The news about the clues began to expand everywhere including the other worlds. Sora's family was a bit worried about that, but after so long of watching Sora, they didn't get a new clue.
Like that, a year was gone and Sora was eleven now.
He checked his Status Window and saw all his accumulated Stat points.

"Those four have been observing me for all the year, they must suspect something..." Sora thought while having breakfast and giving orders to some younger kids.
"Also, I have a lot of stat points. Once I use them, the difference between me and other kids is going to be more obvious," Sora saw the high number in his points and thought about the problem he had, but he remembered about the point consumer also named [Shop].
"Arkon said that there's a skill that can help me communicate with them," Sora opened the [Shop].

"This must be the one…" Sora thought after reading the details of the skill.
However, after reading, Sora found amusing the level required for the last level of the skills.
The System sent him a message when he was going to put some stat points to Charisma and Intelligence.
Ping!
🐾🐾🐾
Your current number of Stat Points is higher than anyone could get in your actual level. The System recommends buying this Skill.
You must not forget that you can't get caught
🐾🐾🐾
After the message was sent, a new screen appeared in front of Sora.
🐾🐾🐾
Hidden Status [Level Required: 20]; Passive Skill. Only available for the Master and his Servants. The skill helps its user to hide his actual status from others, also, it can show a false status.
Disadvantages: It does not work on players of 5 levels higher than the user of the skill.
Cost: 25 Intelligence Points.
🐾🐾🐾
"That one is quite useful, but I'm not level 20, I need to level up to four more... Mmm... I'll wait for the next year, if I can purchase the skill I'll use all my Stat points," Sora planned his future management of his easily obtained but quickly spent points.
Like that, Sora put 35 stat points in Charisma and 15 in Intelligence to purchase Communication Skill Lv. 1.
The moment the new skill appeared in its corresponding place, the System' screen that Sora could see began to update.
The new interface was like before but, now, Sora noticed that a phone and a chat globe icons were added at the right corner of the screen.
At the same time, he received a message telling him that Arkon had returned to the Earth.
Sora got excited and tried to send a message to him.
######
Sora: Did you receive this message.
######
Sora waited for an answer.
######
Arkon: My Master! Yes, I received it. It's good that you have acquired this skill. Straight to the point, my master, Sylgard, and I have met with the leader of the vampires. He has a lot of work right now, mainly for the hunters and adventurers that came killing anyone they met (monsters), so he can't meet you for the time being. However, he sent one of his most trusted people with us. She is waiting at the other side of the portal with Sylgard because she needs your permission to cross it without alerting the hunters.
Sora: She needs my permission?
Arkon: Yes, my lord.
Sora: But what change does my permission gives?
Arkon: Your permission helps monsters to cross portals undetected. They became invisible to everyone for some minutes, the exceptions are you, Master, and, us, your trusted and loyal servants.
Sora: I understand. How do I give her my permission? I can't go there without attracting unnecessary attention.
Arkon: That's one of the reasons I returned, my master. I'll send you her request through the System so you can read it and decide if you give it or not.
Sora: Alright, send it to me. Also, if we are meeting, I need to go to a better place. I'll go to the public library. You already know where it is. I'll wait for you for 20 minutes. I can't be outside of the orphanage for too long, especially with the portal.
Arkon: Yes, my Master. I'll tell them these words and we'll see you there, my lord.
######
After having a good chat with Arkon, Sora felt that the communication was ways better than before.
He quickly received the request of the vampire.
It read the following:
🐾🐾🐾
~Request for a Legal-Pass~
Name: Julieth Lendigtron
Level: 29
Age: ??? years
Species: Vampire
Relationship with the Master: Neutral
Attitude towards the Master: Cautious, Defensive.
^^^^^^
Gave the permission:
Yes / No
🐾🐾🐾
It also included a photo of her.
She had dark red hair, a bit like blood, her eyes were of the color purple. Her skin was as white as snow. She was extremely beautiful, but Sora could notice her ghastly appearance that resembles a recent deceased person. That feature remembered Sora that she was not human.
Sora selected 'Yes'.
After giving his answer, Sora received another message from the System.
Ping!
🐾🐾🐾
You've granted permission to 'Julieth Lendigtron' to enter the main world known as "Earth"!
^^^^^^
Akon has entered a dungeon!
^^^^^^
Arkon has ingressed to "Earth"!
^^^^^^
Sylgard has ingressed to "Earth"!
^^^^^^
'Julieth Lendigtron' has used her PERMISSION. She has ingressed undetected to "Earth"!
🐾🐾🐾
The following messages that appeared after granting the permission surprised Sora. He felt that Arkon and Sylgard were quite efficient.
After gathering some things with him, Sora asked Ma'am Diana for permission to go and read some books at the Public Library.
Ma'am looked at him for some seconds and granted him his permission, she only remembered him to not be late. Sora understood her meaning and nodded in agreement.
He took his few belongings to make a better facade of his trip to the library, which didn't go miss by Heller who was in watch guard for his activities.
"Hey! Sora just left the building, I'll follow him and report to you where he is heading to," Heller sent a message to the other three people before following Sora to the library.
