First B Rank Dungeon

"Hey, you, give this to him orally. You know what I mean, hurry up." Ezra said, as he commanded one of the girls that was looking after Austin.

They were quite surprised to see a blood red liquid in a bottle, but Ezra assured them it wasn't blood and that it would heal Austin, probably. Even then, he was getting tired of their sobbing and all even after the situation was taken care of and they were safe.

"Instead of this, you should hurry, the dungeon will soon cease to exist."

With that, the mage administered the Health potion to Austin by pushing it for him to swallow with created pressure through CPR-ish means.

"Are you sure this is not blood? It has a very strong metallic taste." The mage said with a weird expression on her face.

'Actually, come to think of it, blood also has a metallic taste.' Ezra thought. "It's also decently bitter so don't overthink it. Let's leave now."

Ezra helped carry Austin while they exited the dungeon.

"Oh, one thing…" Ezra said while turning to face the ladies with a slightly creepy expression on his face. "Nobody hears about anything that happened inside this dungeon. What happens in the dungeon?"

"Stays in the dungeon."

"S-stays in t-the dungeon." Both ladies completed his sentence. Ezra smiled lightly at them before continuing to lead the way.

When they got out of the dungeon, it was already bright outside. Ezra handed over Austin to the ladies and left.

For the time being, he needed to find more about this gang, and most importantly, start raiding dungeons as soon as possible. 'I can no longer take the easy route. I have to kill stronger monsters.'

After that, Ezra had opened up his system window to be greeted with a level up notification. He restocked his potions and left the window.

The agreement he had with the dungeon broker, Rolf, was that they would meet only at night, so he still had a lot of time before then.

…

Once night came, Ezra wasted no time and left to meet with Rolf.

"Well, well, if it isn't my best customer in the shadows." Rolf quipped.

"What do you mean by that?" Ezra responded, serious, unlike Rolf.

"Well, let's just say ya private operations ain't so private. The guys you killed? tut, that's gonna cause you plenty."

"If you know…"

"They know. Now, Earth Scale ain't no joke, nah. I would like to hear how you handle it." Rolf said with a light smile on his face.

Ezra had the face of a stone-cold killer from the Vietnam war, as he processed different things that could go wrong.

When it finally dawned on him that the orphanage home would be in danger, he got even more serious. Rolf noticed the change in Ezra's already serious expression and could no longer keep the jovial energy.

"So?"

"I need six B rank dungeons tomorrow. Can you do it?"

"Can I, of course I can. So you finally decided on a team? If you don't have one formed already, I can-"

"You don't need to worry about that, I got it covered already." Ezra cut him off.

"Alright then, if you say so. Come with me." Rolf said, as he took Ezra to another room to give him the details for all the dungeons he requested.

In total, there were five B rank dungeons and one A rank. Ezra wanted gates within local distance, so only five were available. It quite surprised Rolf when Ezra added the A rank gate to the list. It indeed meant more profit for him, but he wasn't a heartless person either, so he worried if Ezra would be able to handle it.

Ezra soon left though, he was off to get some rest. He needed to be fully rested because a lot of work was coming..

Maybe it was due to being an awakened with high HP and all, Ezra woke up feeling light and energetic. Perhaps it was the anticipation and worry in his mind that produced the energy.

Ezra wasted no time and just within thirty minutes was done preparing and setting the house in order, ready to leave.

Last time, he was the first to arrive on the scene, so this time he took a bit of his time. Drawing closer to the location, Ezra could spot some people there with their various equipment and machinery. Rolf now seemed even more capable to have so many people working under him.

'With this, I can just head over to the next location when I'm done here.'

On arrival, Ezra locked eyes with one of the people there who didn't seem like the normal worker. From what he was wearing, it was he was a hunter.

"You must be, Ezra, huh? Hm." He was a young man also, maybe a few years older than Ezra, and with the tight gear he had on, looked more muscular.

"You're here to inspect right? Do just that." Ezra didn't appreciate his tone. He headed into the gate immediately.

"Doesn't look like much really." Another who seemed to be the same age with Ezra said from behind the one who approached Ezra.

Inside the dungeon, the first thing Ezra did was open his system and allocate his free stat points. He wasn't here to test his skill but get stronger, the test of skill was an additional benefit.

Since he could just equip the jacket he acquired the other day within the system and it would not show on his body but still give him the effect, he looked normal with the clothes he had on. Since they destroyed his gear the day before during the fight, he was yet to buy a new one.

With that, it was time for him to begin the solo raid on his first B rank dungeon.
