Need_more_Xp

Intrigued by the possibility of quick earnings, Jay Garrick, a 23-year-old graduate student, impulsively accepts a dubious job offer. However, this decision takes a harrowing turn when he is abducted and transported to an undisclosed facility. Unveiling the nature of the task, he realizes he's bound to infiltrate a stranger's consciousness and extract concealed information—an irreversible commitment.

Within the enigmatic realm of another person's mind, Jay encounters a mysterious entity named X, the gatekeeper of sought-after knowledge. Despite repeated attempts to extract the information, he fails, plunging into a desperate quest for escape from this mental labyrinth. To break free, he's forced to engage in a series of challenges and games orchestrated by X, revealing a fantastical world teeming with dragons, magic, cities, and spaceships—transcending genres.

As the stakes escalate, Jay grapples with unraveling the enigma that binds him to this alternate reality. Hidden within the recesses of his mind lies a profound mystery, intricately linked to his past and present. Determined to escape the clutches of his own psyche, Jay must decipher the underlying reasons for this surreal ordeal, ultimately striving to expose the truth that holds the key to his liberation. The question remains: Will he triumph in extracting the vital information and conquer the illusions within, or will he be ensnared forever in this kaleidoscopic maze of the mind?

Mind break

Jay : Thanks for helping me back there . He really put me in a tight spot . 


McElroy : No problem . So the next thing in our list is the dungeon . 


This will be the second dungeon to conquer . Maybe some good loot . 


We entered the dungeon there were entire hordes of lesser demons . Or less demon like demons . 


Just as we entered the took their arms and the mages were in the rear for attack . 


The mages blasted high level fire magic with ease . While the demons were almost not affected by the magic we weren't that affected either . 


Suddenly the air started getting colder as McElroy started concentrating . 


He showered them with a very cold hail storm . Due to the wind they weren't able to move  and they suffered due to the hail . 


The enemy was blind . But in between I threw a wing stone which blem the up in the air and the fell . Soon the storm ended and my magic was ready .


I was preparing metal needles from above . It struck them But even these needles couldn't penetrate their thick skin . This made me feel like an expert in acupuncture 


MC prepared another strike . He released highly pressurized water on them . The strike was like a gunshot . But it pierced atleast 7 demons before it stopped . 


I was almost powerless in this dungeon . As my primary magic fire wasn't effective and I couldn't use metal since it could collapse the entire dungeon .  


I used a firewall tactic to blind them and maybe ensure some distance but they just walked through it and it pissed off McElroy.


McElroy: I can't get a view how am I supposed to aim . 


I calmed myself down I held my blade took a deep breath . 


And now within the area were 50 demon heads . Because of this the demon incharge of the fortress came before us . Another giant like the Asura . He was wearing a necklace made with teeth of sharks . He had two horns pointing out from his forehead . 


Demon : You humans why have you entered our area . Don't you worry for your lives . 


Jay : We were sent to investigate the dungeon . But it was almost impossible to even enter . 


So you mean to say that you didn't even kill the Asura and part of the fortress outside . 


We did kill him but we didn't while out the fortress but we were going to aske for your permission to let us enter . 


Then when you entered inside why did you started killing my tribe . 


We felt that we were in danger because they had weapons in their hands and thought they were coming to kill us . 


Hmm such mistakes can happen with a person very well . I'll let you explore the dungeon but on one condition whatever you find you must give it to us . 


Agreed .But one question why are you asking that of us haven't you explored the entire dungeon until now . 


No we didn't . But that is none of your concern . I'll escort you to the entrance .
