Dungeon

I wonder what she means by she's troubling me. It isn't a hassle at all.

Besides, I have promised Uncle and Auntie to take good care of her. If something happened to her, where do I have the face to see them?

She isn't a troubling kid at all, not even once does she ever aggravate my situation, on the contrary, she is have a kind heart in my opinion.

I remember the first time we meet, until this moment. I have pledged to not forget about what she said before.

When I kill the UMA that wrecked my family. I felt empty inside, nothing is being fulfilled after the revenge.

Where it should be pleased because the revenged is successful but all of that is nil. After it, I seldom go out, and sometimes even do not take any food.

But the angel appeared in front of my house, in her hand a piece of riceball. She feeds me with the warmth of her smile. It makes my inside fulfilled for the first time.

The emotion that I have forgotten for a few years come out to light along with the tears came as well.

It is the first and will be the last time, I would eat food with a smile, snorts, and tears coming out of my face.

Seeing her smile, my stomach is full.

…

The staff told him to put the UMA on top of the machine, Elias retracts the memory of the past and realized he has back to the present.

Elias puts the UMA bodies on the machine as the staff said one by one.

"Land type, size: big, series number: 34, examining body… Intact, core not found."

The staff Observes the screen on the machine and writes a note with his pen then take a glance at Elias.

"The price is one platinum and five hundred gold," he said then pointing at the body Elias carried, "please put the other one."

Elias places the second body on the machine.

"Land type, size: big, series number: 38, examining body… Intact, core not found" he said as he looks at Elias, "the price is the same as the previous. The total becomes 3 platinum."

He presses the button on the machine several times, and the bodies are exported to another room. The staff come closer to him and bowed his head in a slight motion.

"The payment has been transferred to your card account," he said looking at Elias's eyes, "can I provide anything else?"

"Nothing"

Elias goes back to Anna's place, but when he gets into his wooden cart. Anna is missing, and Elias who sees the empty cart overreacts his movement. His eyes scanned at everything inside the Hunter Alliance.

He overhears the news that hints at Anna's current location.

"A dungeon has appeared. It drags everyone close, it still developing in the time being."

Elias charges to the outside with all of his might. He sees the crack in the sky, and the debris being pulled into it.

The crack's pulling force is like a magnetic field, it consumes everything around them. The gale and the dust made people almost impossible to enter before it finished gobbling everything.

He observes the hurricane rotates. He sees Anna got dragged inside the crack holding the previous troublemaker girl.

At lightning speed, he leaps toward the hurricane and tries to reach Anna. Some hunters tried to hold him back but got slammed to the ground instead.

Elias's body got injured by the flying debris of the hurricanes as he get inside the dungeon. He withstands the pain and is dragged by the crack. When the crack is in front of him, the shine made his eyes close.

When he opens his eyes, he has arrived Inside the dungeon, there is a whole different world than on earth.

He opens his eyes and sees a vast green grassland. The grass height is the same as him, he hops to see the surrounding area but it is useless because there is nothing except for the grass.

He turns his eyes above, there are two suns on the blue sky. One sun is red while the other is black, the previous is on his left side while the latter is on his right side. Flying islands above the blue sky, there are no clouds.

He strolls around in search of Anna while yelling her name but, there is no reply and as time prolong, the sun's shine makes him swipe his sweats and drains his stamina.

With his wet body, Elias looks above the red sun. He covers his eyes and sees a silhouette moving from the sun. He focuses his sight making sure what he has seen is correct.

The silhouette becomes larger in time, Elias jumps away from his place and changes his location.

He lies on the ground, taking specks of dirt and smearing them all over his body. The silhouette owner flies above him, he peeks at it.

The animal spreads its wings, it has an eagle head while the body is a lion. On its wings there are spikes. The Big body is several times his height. It is a T-01 UMA.

His eyes changed, and his breath become many times and short. He takes a deep breath and crawls to move.

In slow speed, he creeps out of the animal flying area. His body was stuck in the grass several times but he could cut it with his dagger.

Elias hears a shrieking voice, he raises his head and looks at the source of the voice. The animal is descended to the ground. It wags the wings making dust spread on the surrounding area.

The animal puts its legs on the ground, then rested its body.

As Elias saw the animal resting its body, he leans on one knee while his hand moves to aim at the animal's head. A sniper rifle manifested in his hands.

The sniper rifle has red and gold color with black patterns. Elias's eyes focus on the gun's scope targeting the animal's head. The head is facing in his direction.

He observes the area surrounding the animal, and after waiting for a few minutes he set his sight on the animal again.

On top of the animal's head, there is a horn. He aims at the root of the horn before plucking the shooting trigger.

Don

The rapid bullet flies and hits on the target with precision. Blood pews out of the animal's head and fell to the ground.

Elias reloads the sniper rifle and shoots at the same place once more time, the bullet goes faster than before. There is no additional blood coming out.

The sniper rifle disappear from his hands,

He stands and jumps to the animal, his legs feel weak after kneeling for a long time and he got knocked to the ground. He rests for a while and goes to the animal with a dagger in his hand.

He stabs below the place he shot, rips out the skin, and puts his hand inside. He scrubs the internal and searches for the core.

He finds the core after a few times, he puts it in his bag. At this moment, all of a sudden, his smartphone rang.

Hearing the ring, his body flinched. He takes out his smartphone and sees the person dialing him. At first, he focuses more on the top of the smartphone, the signal is coming through.

He turns his eyes to the caller. He sees the name, Anna. He swipes the answer button and put the smartphone beside his ear.

"Hello?"
