Chapter 5

Sona Sitri the Student Council President was sitting in her comfy chair.

She was in deep through for most of the day. The reason for this was the two papers in front of her.

Tomorrow, her school will have two new transfer students, something like this was quite normal, if not the fact that they coming from halfway across the world and are with recommendations from Rias older brother.

Such a thing has severally piqued her interest. So, she did in-dept research on these two people.

She was quite surprised when she saw who is transferring.

Not everyday ex-royalty and German nobles transfer to her school.

Still, this is slightly concerning, Germany is close to Norse Pantheon, and she wonders if this girl has any connection with the Valkyries.

Her hair colour stands out, and same time she wonders if the male is a reincarnation of a previous Roman Emperor.

There are many famous ones, in Roman history.

Even then, she can guess that the current Lucifer is sending these two to Kuoh so that his little sister could try recruiting them to her peerage.

Satan Lucifer is spoiling Rias too much…

Still, she wouldn't be lying if she wasn't interested in them joining her peerage.

The best thing is that these two come in pair, same time she was amused that it will be the first couple in Kuoh academy…

The academy was co-ed for over three years now, and yet not a single couple appeared these two.

For a second Sona frowned, remembering a certain pervert, people like him bring bad name to males and this school in general, if not for the fact that he possess a Sacred Gear she would have expelled his and his gang long ago.

In the end, she could only sigh, her best friend is extremely lazy, if she didn't know better she would brand her a Sloth Devil.

In the end, Sona has decided to see them first. And if she likes them, then she will put her claim on them.

After all, Rias already has her claim on that pervert…

She even bend some rules because of it! That pervert would be expelled long ago because of how many complains they got!

Still, it's very annoying just how passive Rias is! Does she except for him to appear on a golden platter before her? And ask to join? That pervert doesn't even know that Supernatural is real!

In the end, she could only wait for tomorrow and see them for herself, Rias can keep that pervert while she will claim these two!

Julis was laying in her new bed, it was already past eleven and close to midnight, she still can't fall asleep.

Too many things happened today, or is it truly, today that she died? All these kind of thoughts just pop in her head.

Another one is that the multiverse is real, the pink head wonders just how many versions of her participated in the Fiesta? How many got summoned to different worlds?

But, the most obvious thought which occupied most of her thinking is her situation. The guy she is stuck with, and her role as his 'waifu'...

She was able to ask how she was 'picked up'. When she heard that she was summoned by a legendary token that can change one life forever.

In sense, it does, after all, a girl was added to his life, but when she heard what kind of other things he could have gotten made her feel extreme pressure.

Items or abilities which could have made him a nearly divine being, or someone with an extremely overpowered item, even in the world they are now inhabiting.

'Right… the world which we inhabit now…'

Julis eyebrow twitched for a second, she remembered the details of the world, and specifically the town they live in now.

She realised that her position is already threatened! By two Devil Heiresses no less!

Still, she will not lose, for her, it's no longer just a simple boyfriend/ girlfriend thing, she died once, brutally.

The Pink Princess is not going to back down!

~~~

While Sona was scheming and Julis digesting her days events, Alex was already asleep.

But, he was not dreaming…

[Do you wish to enter THE Dungeon?]

[Yes] [No]

'So, this is my means to 'grind' those tickets?'

Alex looked at the window which looked like it was pulled out from an RPG game.

He mentally selected the [Yes] option.

Moments later he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of an unfamiliar room.

It was all stony, and the surface looked uneven.

Slowly he got up from a very uncomfortable bed, he looked around the room, then at himself, he was dressed in tunic clothes which reminded him clothes from the medieval era, even the shoes he had on where made from some sort of leather!

After checking himself out his gaze went back to the room, it was small, there was only the bed and a wardrobe, and doors leading to somewhere else.

Alex got up from the bed and walked over to the wardrobe, he opened it.

There was nothing there, not that he was having hopes in the first place.

After a sigh, he closed it. and then looked at the door, he slowly opened it and saw a room on the other side.

What was weird to him was that the place had proper lighting without a light source! No candles, windows or even light bulbs!

This already screamed supernatural to him!

For a moment he decided to forget the reason why the room is bright even when there is no light source, instead he inspected what was in this room.

It had a plain table with a single chair and empty bookshelves next to a wall.

On the other side, there was… a forge… but it was 'dead', with no fire. not far from it there was a weapons rack with several weapon in it.

A sword, a mace, a bow, a quiver full of arrows, and lastly an axe.

"Quite a barren place."

Alex said as he looked around for more things. There were only two doors in this room, one in front of him and one behind him, which lead to the small bedroom.

"Well, this is disturbing, no armour rack?" The teenager said with twitchy lips.

After a resigned sigh, he walked over to the weapons rack, like any otaku, his gaze went to the sword.

He approaches the weapon and a pop-up appeared above the sword.

[Steel Longsword]

'Okay. So, I get some game elements as well.'

His gaze went on other weapons and other ones were steel as well, but the bow, or in this case Longbow was made from Yew.

[Yew Longbow]

If his memory is right, Yew is the best wood for longbows, and so far all these weapons looked good, at least for his non-existing experience...

After checking these weapons out, his gaze went back to the sword.

He grabbed it by the handle and pulled it out.

His eyes slightly widened, the weight of it was more then he expected!

While he was not buffed, he did exercise regularly, but then again regular exercises means nothing in what people used to do in medieval times.

The sword was a regular longsword, there is enough handle to hold it with two hands or one if one's strong enough to do it.

It had no fancy decorations, a simple crossguard, but it looks sharp enough to cut, and it was not rusty.

After inspecting his weapon, Alex did a couple of swings with it, he frowned for a second.

The longsword was quite heavy and with his current strength, he could only use it with both hands properly.

Still, if he wishes to grind for lottery tickets and other items he should at least get the hang of this sword before he leaves the safe zone.

But, that's the thing, how much does it count as a 'safe zone'?

He doesn't want to train inside this room!

So, the first thing he did was to look for a sword sheath, it was on the weapons rack next to the sword.

After picking it up, he sheathed the longsword and started walking towards the doors in front of it.

Before he opened the doors he took a deep breath, remembering that it's not a game.

When saw what was on the other side he was baffled and quite terrified.

Around thirty metres from the doors he walked through there was massive trees in distance.

It reminded him of megafauna which used to be on earth millions of years ago.

What worried him was that it was not tropical or even sub-tropical, nope these trees reminded him of Scandinavian pine trees, only super-sized and quite close to each other, making the forest naturally dark even in day time.

'It looks like it's morning. But should I even trust the sun position in this mysterious place in the first place?' He frowned when he saw the sun in the sky.

He then looked at the forest, it was just like Scandinavian forest, the leaves are the very top while most of the tree trunk is bare of any branches.

The visibility is very bad, making him unavailable to see far in the forest, to top it all up, the tree trunks looking identical made it even worse to navigate through it.

"Damn it all… and here I thought I will have slimes or some zombies to fight for my first dungeon!" Alex sighed and turned around.

All he saw was doors in a small hill wall, not far from it there is a hole, which is probably made for smoke from blacksmith forge to come out.

There was nothing else there!

"Right… do I even have the means to leave this place?" He said with a frown, he was very unprepared for this kind of dungeon!

So, he returned to the safe house, went straight to the bed, and tried to sleep.

But, he could not, the longer he stayed doing nothing, the more his body wanted to do something!

This lead him to get back up and grab his steel sword and leave the safe house.

At first, he decided to get used to the longsword weight.

So, he started doing practise swings…

~~~

Alex didn't know how long it lasted but he stopped when his hands started blistering.

On his break, he looked at the sky to see how much time has passed, but what he saw made him frown.

The sun didn't moved at all! It's still morning!

'Right.. either my exercise was extremely short, or the sun doesn't move here at all, then again this may be a pocket dimension with artificial light.'

Alex rested for couple more minutes before returning to his sword swinging exercise.

He continued this kind of exercise several more times, and on his break time, he would look at the sky to see if the time stayed still.

To his annoyance, the sun, or in this case light source stayed in the same location.

After getting the hang of the steel sword Alex decided to explore, at first he decided that it would be for the best if he doesn't go far from his safe house.

He has no idea what kind of creatures roam this forest, or how big it is…

Alex progressed slowly into the pine forest, he was extreme cautions and took each step with maximum vigilance.

Always trying to look around and making sure nothing was behind him and of course making sure the small hill where his safe house is always visible.

…

…

*CRACK*

Alex's gaze quickly went to the source of the sound.

In distance, he saw a man-size wolf.

His eyes widened to a large degree.

He quickly turned around and was about dash to his safe house, but he saw another wolf around 30 metres away!

'How the f*ck it got there!!!'

That was his first swearing words in months!

Alex gaze returned to the wolf in front of him, then quickly to the one behind him.

He started to move closer to one of the massive trees.

Soon, enough he started to sweat even more as he saw another wolf to his side now as well.

'Damn… they are like ghosts!'

Once Alex back touched the tree he was able to take a very short breather, at least they can't fully surround him!

Less then a minute later he saw four wolf's as tall as him stare at him very hungrily.

Their eyes were red and glowing with malice, it was quite a clear indicator that this place was not by any stretch normal.

'Shit, shit, shit, this is very bad!' Alex tried not to panic but it was very difficult when there are wolfs staring down at him!

They started pacing back and forth trying to find the best angle to jump on him, same time such movement didn't gave any gaps for Alex to escape.

Before long one of them lunged at Alex from his left side.

The wolves already realised that he was right-handed, and focuses more on his dominant right hand…

Meaning his left is weaker...

Alex quickly reacted to the incoming wolf, he swung the sword with everything he got.

*BANG*

But, his eyes widened to massive shock that the sword barely did anything! And his hand sting from pain that was generated from the impact.

He might hurt the beast and it was bleeding, but it was nowhere near what he expected from the sword to do!

All he did was cut the beast and he was able to push it away from him.

But, it was enough for the other two out of three to jump on him.

One of them lunged at his legs and another one lunged at his neck.

Before he realised that what happened all he felt was pain...
