A White Raven

Ethan was sitting on chair with a round table.

Sip.

A brown haired beauty was sitting across him, looking at him with a smile. She has big forest green eyes and a small and beautiful face though it lacks compare to Miss Chloe but....

Ethan tilted himself slightly and caught glimpse of her cross legs and her body below the table.

Gulp.

Her top hourglass figure made him gulp unconsciously. He can swear on his existence that in term of body, no women can ever beat her! Even the top beauties in his dream will look like little girls in front of her!

"What happened?"

She has a smile on her face. It's hard to read her mind with just expression as she was wearing the 'infamous business women smile'.

"I never meet a woman as beautiful as you."

Lucas once told him that women are weak to praise so he choose the easy way to smoothen the conversation.

"Do you check a woman beauty through her ass?"

Second-hand advice always remains second-handed. Now he don't know a shit what he should here.

There is a long explanation of 'what he is doing here?' If there is an easiest way to explain; he is a here for his first job interview!

Around 6 hours ago,

Ethan was walking in a castle with relaxed steps as he strolls inside the castle where all kind of bones were scattered around his feet.

He was inside a G-Rank dungeon which have skeleton type monster. It is huge castle expanding in a circle with a km radius. It is one of the open dungeons that are under government.

Open Dungeon are dungeons that guilds and other organization have keep open for everyone. It can be used by anyone as long as they are willing to pay 20% of their total earning. These dungeons are mostly dungeons that can't be used for other purpose.

Ethan has cleared this dungeon but since this is not a new dungeon. All he can do is to pick the strong bones and sell it for money.

Crunch.

A bone crushing sound echoed in the hall. A boy and girl were walking in a hall.

One of them had a bow in her hand while other one had a long sword in his head.

Both of them have similar features with dark blue hair and dark blue eyes with same facial features.

"Sis, where do you think that person is?"

"If I have to choose, it will be boss room."

"Are we really going to kill him?"

"Of course! He killed our senior brother!! One of the most talented mage in our family!!! There is no way we can let him hook off after that."

"If he killed our senior brother, isn't he is strong enough to kill us too?"

"No, He used cheap tricks to kill our brother! There is no way a genuine E-Rank will be killed by some random G-Rank."

"But.."

"No Buts! You will follow me and we will take revenge on our brother together!!"

The boy didn't say anything anymore and follow his sister quietly. He can't help but feel something is wrong here! Elder who normally doesn't care about anyone weak suddenly approach them, two G+ Rank, and ask them to kill a person. They hide too many things and didn't let them ask anything. Their parents were not present currently so they have no one to ask anyone for advice. His sister refuses to hear anything and just keep charging forward with no caution. He has no idea what he should do!

Both of them keep going until they reach large palace like hall. There is a coffin in the center with chess patterned floor and four pillars supporting the ceiling in square pattern.

There were bones scatters all around the floor but some crushed skull and some bigger bones.

"He is not here, sister."

"I can tell that already!!"

His sister snaps at him. She is already pissed off and his world sounds like salt on wounds.

"We must have crossed him in the way. Let's go back. We might lose him. Since he already defeated dungeon boss, he must be tired. Let's run to the portal."

Both of them hurriedly leave for portal.

"Sister look!"

There was also a syringe thrown sidewise inside the hall that leads to portal.

"He was here. Let's go. We might miss him."

Both of them know that they will be punished for failure. Both of them hurry to portal. The portal finally fell inside their vision. Both of them come out of portal to the other side but halt their steps. Their expression turn into surprise to frowned. Twin sister opens her mouth.

"Something is wrong."

"Hell, it is! I am telling you from the start something is wrong but you refused to listen to me at all."

The Hall where portal is established is creepily empty. No soul besides the two exist in this hall!

Whoosh.

A wind blow and mana fluctuates uniformly. Both of them took their stance and become wary. A figure comes in their vision. He looked at both of them. A blue haired young man was standing around 7m away from them but stop in his track when he notices their stance.

"Where is he?"

Both of them were still wary when he shows a badge of their family. Both of them relaxed and told him. Both of them were standing in front of portal less than a meter away.

"He wasn't inside he most likely run away."

"Impossible! He never came out. You two most likely miss him out in the way. How useless. You two were given a small task but you can't even do that. I am going to report this, you know?"

Both twins frowned at his remark. They didn't meet him on the way. Twin brother feels that something was extremely wrong when he was told about mission. His feeling only became stronger when he comes out of dungeon. This feeling is similar to snake wrapping around his neck hissing next to his ear.

"We aren't even at fault. What do you mean by reporting us?! Aren't you just accusing us for your failure?!"

Twin sister snapped at him. She wasn't one to fall back just because someone is older or stronger than her. The blue haired young man's right eye twitched at the rude behavior of the little girl. He is older than them by far years. They should respect him and talk with him politely.

"You two-"

"She is right. It's not good to blame other for your failure, you know?"

A voice comes from twins behind. They turn around when twin brother suddenly felt a hit right in his waist and his body bent along the force of attack. Attack was blunt but it was still strong as he felt his inside shaken.

His eyes caught sight of teenager with black hair and blue iris that were shining inside his black eyes and his sheathed sword that hit his waist. He flew sidewise and hit his sister. Both of them flew sidewise.

"You?!"

Blue haired young man was stunned by an unexpected entry of their target but it didn't last long. He ordered everyone to attack.

"Kill him! Now!"

Several figures fell and materialize out of nowhere and attack toward portal. Multiple basic attacks, few AOE spells and few elemental slash attacks launch toward the portal.

Ethan crouches down and let dozens of stones roll from his hand. He fell backward and roll into dungeon portal when attack hit the spot. He came inside the dungeon but no attacks pass through him. Energy cannot travel through dungeon portals as it gets distorted when space warps.

On the other side,

Their expression turns sour when they notice there is no corpse. Twins caught up in the attacks and were heavily injured; losing their consciousness but none of them cared about twins. They were more disappointed about the fact that they missed him. They were told if they can't capture him then kill him on the spot. They were told not let him leave this place alive in any case. They hire several F-Ranks and few E-Ranks to attack him but all of them fail to kill a measly G-Rank!

"Circle around! He will be coming out sooner or later! Send other G-Ranks inside and take these trashes away to heal."

He orders some of them to take the twins for healing and call other G-Ranks that were there in case of emergency. Some F-Rank walks forward to circle around the portal.

'He will have two choice then he will either try to escape or-'

"MANA BOMBS!"

A horrified voice rang out in the hall as everyone turns their head. Their expression turn ugly when they noticed dozens of stones spread on the floor. They were not stones but MANA BOMBS!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosion rang out in whole hall. Everyone suffers from continuous explosion inside the hall. It can be figure out by the explosion that mana bombs were F-Rank with some E-Rank mix in them.

Ethan was standing inside the dungeon counting in his mind. He is really relieved that two twins were really loud. Both of them were not much experienced in first place. Their footsteps were loud and they were also talking loudly on their way and were quiet carefree when approaching him.

But Ethan feels that they were too inexperienced from his view. He is not talented he admit it but even a stupid person will never send two naïve siblings to attack him who killed a ripped E- Rank. He deduced that they were most likely send to make his guard down. He also remembers what happens last time when his leg was cut off.

Once he deals with them, he would have guard down during their ambush or tired at the least.

Ethan hides behind a pillar until they pass by him. He took a potion in the way to heal the injuries from dungeon and hide around portal. He withdraws mana bombs from his storage and set them up for 5sec. and waited for them to go through portal. They went inside and he comes out right after them and attack or at the least he believed as there was some delay that he didn't account for.

He waited for more 5 sec. and went inside the portal. He comes out of portal and looked at the hall after explosion.

Once ordinary hall now look like building after fire as explosion leaves burned marks on floors and walls. Ethan ran without waiting as some might have saved them from explosion somehow.

Ethan runs and slows down when his eyes fell on injured twins. He just gritted his teeth and ran because he knows that even a little delay might turn into grave mistake.

He lay down on wall of a random alley and slid down. It was a night and further alley was cover in darkness.

After everything, his main concern now is what he should do now. Does he even have a future? Can he really do something in this situation?

"Should I call Lucas?"

He just shakes his head. He can't do that. Lucas is also from a strong family but Four Families are strongest family in Human Domain. He can't risk his life for himself.

Aggh.

A thick pressure suddenly descended upon him. Air becomes so heavy that he was choking on his breath. He grabs his neck. This is several times stronger than his encounter with Charon!

"You're mine now, you piece of shit. This time even that trash can't save you."

His body bends forward in sitting position and hit the ground. He turns his head slightly and looks through gap between his leg and ground.

A foot comes out from darkness of deep alley. Another one follow it as it walk closer to him but Ethan can't see anything besides his foot but he didn't need to see the face of person.

"Charon Nix!"

His sarcastic voice fell in his ear along with his bloodlust and malice.

"It seems you recognize me. Well, it's better for you since you will need my name to beg for death."
