Arc 2 Chapter 168 A Dinner

(One month later) ~Pov Ragnar~ (Third person)

A faint creak could be heard as the door to the small apartment was opened. With it came a dim light from one of the many lightbulbs outside of the dark apartment. With a hasty movement the door was thrown shut and the voice of a women could be heard. "I got the vegetables you wanted!" She said, as her footsteps echoed through the small apartment. "Thanks" a man responded. He was sitting in a dark blue couch big enough for three people, naked. The man sat with his legs crossed and seemed to be in a trance. The man wasn't breathing at all and if a normal human were to see the scene they would freak out. The darkness in the room was gathering around him and being absorbed into his skin.

"How is the training going? Did you have any luck in condensing your concept?" The women asked from the kitchen of the apartment, just some meters away from where the couch was. The water was running in the kitchen because the women was cleaning the vegetables she just bought at a grocery store nearby.

"I've gotten it to be slightly denser but I'm nowhere near a breakthrough yet. Maybe in a billion years or more I'll reach the thirty first layer." The man responded without opening his eyes, or mouth. Like he was speaking to her directly through his mind.

"Don't be down about it Ragnar, it took me much longer when I first started. My first layer took one hundred quadrillion years. Don't rush it and get ready for the dinner we're supposed to have with our neighbors today." She said, while preparing the vegetables.

"Yeah yeah I know, anyways why are the Koreans so fucking nice. This is the third family dinner with one of our neighbors this week and this is the third day of the week!" The man known as Ragnar yelled without opening his mouth. He seemed to be slightly frustrated with the hospitality of his neighbors.

"You were the one who chose to be a citizen of South Korea, it's not their fault you speak their language but don't know their habits. Instead of being annoyed by their actions, try to understand them and act upon that!" The women said, as she put down her vegetables in the sink and walked over to the couch. "Now put on some clothes Ragnar, we don't want them to think of you as barbarian. Even if you originate from Sweden!" The women said, as she grabbed some clothes laying on top of a dresser neatly folded and handing them over to Ragnar.

"Gasp, Ratri, is that a hint of racism I sense from you?" Ragnar asked, as he for the first time changed his facial expressions into shock. A shock Ratri wasn't believing for a second.

"You're imagining it!" She said and turned around, walking towards a room to the left of the kitchen and entered it. Some seconds later the sound of water dripping down hastily on the floor was heard and it was obvious she was taking a shower.

"She's wasting her time, she doesn't even get dirty!" Ragnar mumbled, opening his mouth.

"I can hear you and for your knowledge I actually like the sensation of hot water running down my naked skin you asshole. Maybe if you showered you wouldn't be stuck with me and actually have a love life." Ratri yelled from the bathroom.

"That doesn't even make sense you damn Ogre!" Ragnar yelled at Ratri, before standing up from the couch and snapping his fingers. As soon as he snapped his thumb and middle finger together the clothes that he threw on the ground appeared on him and as if that wasn't enough a cup full of tea with some text on it appeared in his hands. On the cup the words "Sexiest man alive" were engraved on it. Something he seemed to be slightly proud of. "Well thank you cup, you too are sexy!" Ragnar said and snapped his fingers again turning on the lights in the apartment and changing the heat inside the shower, making Ratri yell some profanity's. Lighting up his mood slightly, as he walked to the kitchen and removing the vegetables from the sink, as they had slightly dried a bit.

Ragnar looked at the clock and sighted. 'Thirty minutes till we have dinner huh.' He thought to himself and sat down on one of the wooden chairs next to the kitchen table

Some time passed and Ratri finally finished her shower and went to the kitchen.

"What should we gift them Ragnar-kun!" Ratri asked as she entered the kitchen. She was completely naked from head to toe and it disturbed Ragnar slightly. "What didI say about saying my name with such fake loving tone when naked Ratri, it's weird!" He said and snapped his fingers, fully dressing her.

"Don't be such a killjoy Ragnar-san were in Korea, we can use things like kun and san all we want!" Ratri said with a smirk making Ragnar frown immensely. "Ratri, that's Japan, you fucking donkey, but you already know that. Just like you know I hate it when you mix up nationalities and act like there's nothing wrong with it!" Ragnar exclaimed and got to thinking. "Ratri, isn't their daughter a newly awakened girl with the power of a D rank and potential of a B or A rank?" Ragnar asked, while pondering.

"That's right she awoken just a month ago and is having fun in the dungeons." Ratri said, as she leaned against the kitchen counter.

"Then why don't we give her a power stone that can enhance her strength? I heard their a very rare drop, because mana stones are much more common, but can't be used o consume and increase ones powers." Ragnar said.

"That's a great idea, just create one and we'll get going!" Ratri said and stormed off. Ragnar followed shortly after snapping a power stone of very high quality into existence.

"What's with you and snapping, you don't have to snap your fingers for something to happen, you know that right?" Ratri said to him when he caught up to her in the middle of the hallway of the apartment complex.

"I know, it's just a bad habit of mine, don't mind it." Ragnar said, as they finally reached the door, fifty meters away from theirs, one of the neighbors apartment and the one they were going to enter, to have dinner. Ragnar looked at his arm and created a wristwatch and looked at the time. "My my, to minutes early. That begs the question dear Ratri, do we wait two minutes and knock at the exact time, or do we knock now?" Ragnar said and Ratri gave him an annoyed glance before knocking on the door.

Some seconds later an old lady with brown gray hair and dark brown eyes opened the door and let them in. "Welcome, welcome, please make yourselves at home and have some Soju if you want. Dinner will be ready in five minutes. My husband is already waiting for you in the living room." The old women said high spirited and lead them to the living room where an old man was waiting for them with a dark haired women next to him. She seemed annoyed to be here in a way. This slightly picked at Ragnar's interest. But he didn't use his powers to find out why, as he didn't want to spoil the surprise.

"Hello hello, come sit." A man with an inverted hairline exclaimed happily and patted the floor next to him. The table they were sitting next to was very low, like it was constructed to be that way. It was after all Korean norm to sit on the floor and eat, or on a pillow. But they didn't seem to have pillows. The man had dark hair and dark brown like his wife and the daughter seemed to copy them and looked like a young version of her mother. She was quite beautiful in her own regards but to Ragnar she was but a mortal, nothing attractive anymore about it. It's kind of like human aging, when they were twelve they liked twelve year olds, but when they became thirty they like thirty year olds. Or if there's something wrong with them they still like the twelve year olds. So in other words Ragnar grew up and no longer like these young, weak creatures. But that doesn't mean he hate them, or is indifferent to them. They just have no sexual appeal to him.

As Ragnar and Ratri sat down the daughter reached out her right hand to shake Ratri's hand and she did the same. "Hello my name is Seo-Jun, what's yours?" She asked remaining polite, like all asians usually do. Unlike people in America who act like they've known a person their whole life, Ragnar thought to himself. As he was observing the old man reached out his hand to Ragnar and Ragnar shock it and said. "It's a pleasure meeting you again mister Jun-Seo, thank you again for inviting us to dinner. You have a wonderful house!" Ragnar said.

"The pleasures all mine, you and young lady Ratri are wonderful people. It's our honer that you visit us here." The old man said, as they separated their hands and went on to shake the next persons hands.

Seo-Jun shock Ragnar's hand and said "Hi, I haven't seen you before, so I guess you're new here. The last month was very hectic for me and I was in the dungeon most of the time, so it's a pleasure finally meeting you." To which Ragnar smiled and replied. "No no, the pleasure's all mine. To meet a talented young women who already reached D rank, how crazy is that. It's an honer exchanging pleasantries with a young lady like you." Ragnar said, before they were interrupted by the house wife.

"Honey turn on the Tv, it's about Minato, he's here in Korea clearing one of the unbeatable dungeons again." She yelled and instantly Seo-Jun turned to her father with pleading eyes.

"Seo, please, we have guest!" The father said p, ignoring his wife's wishes.

"No,no, don't bother with us, please turn it on. Me and Ratri are Minato's first fans!" Ragnar said and Jun-seo gave in and turned on the Tv.

"Oh and before I forget, as things are soon to be hectic, aren't they Ratri! Here have this!" Ragnar said and handed Seo-Jun the power stone, as Ratri looked up and said. "Well I'll be damned, seems like everyone should duck!" She said and laid down. Everyone repeated her actions accept from Ragnar.

The Tv suddenly went from Minato talking to a female reporter warning about a dungeon breakout in their area. A second later a gigantic tale smashed through the walls of the apartment but was interrupted when it hit Ragnar and exploded in green blood over everyone.

The two parents screamed in horror, while the daughter collected herself quickly and grabbed her sword that was hidden in cloth next to her.

"A C rank metallic giant Lizard, what he hell is it doing here?" Seo-jun said in panic, as she stored her power stone in her pocket and preparing herself to face the beast.

"I wouldn't recommend that dear, you will die, sadly!" Ragnar said, as he took a gulp out of a bottle of Soju. "I have to save them, the longer I wait the more will die!" Seo-Jun said and was ready to jump again. So Ragnar sighed before saying. "You won't save anyone and Minato will arrive in some seconds, your sacrifice will be in vain young girl, just sit here with me and enjoy some Soju, you already killed one Lizard thingy." Ragnar said and took yet another gulp of Soju and as on cue Minato appeared to save the day.
