Chapter 13: A new pet (2)

It can't be... That voice sounded just like that kid that told me about Emilia's problem. I shouldn't show that I recognize or he'll get suspicious of me. I looked at him and said, "I am also looking for someone, we had a trade scheduled today." "Wait- could that be you?" He looked at me from bottom to top and said, "Are you by any chance trading for an egg?" I nodded and we talked the rest of the time about how cool this game was.

Then finally after a while of talking he pulled out the egg and told me that the chances were low, but something good could come out of it. I told him that I could transfer the money onto his bank account right now. He received the $10 and finally I had the egg in my possession. While I was holding it the system was analyzing it, maybe trying to tell me what I was going to get out of it.

But when it finished it had a timer for how long it would take for it to hatch. The timer showed 1 hour, and asked if I wanted to start it now. I clicked yes and left the egg in my inventory. We added each other and agreed to party sometime, when he saw my level he kind of freaked out. I said I had been playing for a week grinding like my life depended on it. He laughed thinking it was a joke, but I meant it. He asked for my stats, but I told him that it was a secret that I couldn't reveal to anyone.

He switched the topic and wished me luck with the egg, I thanked him and we went our separate ways. Now that we were added it didn't matter about how far we were, we could still use the chat feature. Surprisingly he didn't ask about my mask that I was wearing, I guess he didn't want to get all personal. My next mission now was to grind a few more levels of I can, and maybe find a dungeon. The bounty was still up for grabs so the guild wasn't an option, I guess I have to find myself one now.

The guild master would probably recognize me from my clothing and my aura. Oh right I never finished that one quest I took now did I... So now I am planning on heading to the skeleton dungeon hoping that this time there won't be any inconveniences. The goblin for sure was out of the ordinary and didn't belong there. And maybe... just maybe I can find Katie and figure out why I was betrayed. Now that there were no monsters out in the open, it made my life easier to explore but exp was another thing. I mean right now I don't really care about levelling up rather I want to find some loot.

It took me quite a while to get back to the dungeon, but from the looks of it the dungeon was reset. It looks like dungeons reset from time to time, which means that everyone will now have a chance of grinding in the game. I looked around to see if Katie was anywhere around here, but couldn't find her. So I chose to to give up and finish this dungeon quest. As I approached the dungeon a new message popped up saying, "Would you like to challenge the dungeon?" I thought this was some new edition to the game so I just pressed the yes button.

A red portal popped up, it looked so beautiful with the dark textures making player quiver in fear. I thought it was all a part of the game's new update so I stepped right on in. A system notification popped up saying, "User has accepted the challenge of the dungeon, prepare yourself." Oh shit what did I just get myself into, I thought this was a part of the new update. Oh well I guess I'll just have to clear it now... Another new message popped up saying that if I failed to clear the dungeon I would have to restart. What the fuck? What more do you need from me you damn game master.

I prepared myself for the worst and kept my guard as I slowly progressed through the dungeon. I heard the sound of bones crackling and so I rushed in with my shield out. When I saw them though... It was as if the skeletons from before had steroids and had grown in size. They looked like a dead ogre, these were just the minions! There were only two of them, but they looked hella tough, they spotted me fairly quick and charged at me. They were carrying huge ass clubs that looked to be a one shot for any low level player.

I could probably withstand a few hits with it but it's very dangerous. I brought out my axe and charged straight at them, when I got close enough I dodged one of there attacks and climbed on top of it. The other looked at me and swung the club on the one that I was standing on, it him but didn't do much damage. As the club hit I lost a little but of my balance which caused me to stumble and fall down a little. Now I was hanging on one of the bones... At least my left hand was, and the skeleton was getting ready to strike again.

I took my axe and made sure that it was stick in between it's bones and jumped back up. I was back on top of it, but the skeleton was now about to strike me so I had to party this one. Man it hurt like hell I barely managed to stop it from hitting me, I was now on one knee. Now was my chance, the ogre that I was on top of started moving around so what I did was get a clear hit on one of it's eyes back flipped onto a platform. The skeleton was now mad, this time I don't think I had any chance in beating these guys...
