Chapter 116: Public/Private Dungeon.

[14th Everdusk 2103], CGA Branch, Dyna Crest country, DC-23 City.

In the building of the association, I Evan, was walking straight toward the lines where I previously went to find dungeon. 

I took my place in line and started to wait for my turn when my eyes fell on the duo who I had encountered some time ago.

Lucas and Tess were standing in another line, also waiting for their turn.

Lucas was looking as if trying to find, and I was sure that if he saw me, my dungeon raiding plans sure to get entangled with them.

So, I moved a little and hid behind the of the guy in front of in the line.

It was successful, as a few minutes, Lucas and Tess were already at counter, inquiring about. As I got near, I overheard their conversation.

"But sir, why can't I take the test? And won't let us into the same, and you won't even let me go into a dungeon alone," Lucas asked, and I gathered that he was asking to raid a dungeon alone, but rules were rules, even for the destined ones.

"Yes sir, we know that you wish to go into the dungeon alone, but it is not possible right now as the branch manager isn't here, and there aren't any other ways to take the test while the manager and vice manager are absent," the attendant told him. Lucas fell into thought and asked,

"Is there any other way to go into the dungeon alone or take the test even if the inspectors are not here?"

"Umm, let me ask my seniors, sir, then can I inform you," the attendant replied and stood up to go. A few minutes later, a person I recognized easily came up.

Yes, it was the field agent who helped me back then was here, maybe if I hadn't taken the test today, then Lucas would have taken the dungeon raid and gotten some bonus leads here.

As I did not care much, I did not take his opportunity intentionally, and even if I did, he wouldn't know about it.

"Hey, move forward or step aside, as I don't want to wait any longer," the guy standing behind me said as I looked back and then in front to find the line empty and the attendant waiting me.

"Oh, sorry brother," I said and reached the table to inquire about the dungeon raid.

"Hello sir, how may I help you?"

"I wish to raid a dungeon."

"Okay sir, please give me your ID and details."

"Here, I am a Lv.20 NECROMANCER, without any team," I said as I passed my ID to him and provided the details. He first checked my ID to find the relevant requirement, the tag of the wolf, and after confirming the qualification, he proceeded.

"Okay sir, sorry for the wait. So, tell me, what type of dungeon do you wish: a private or public dungeon?"

Can you please describe both to me as I am new here?" I asked to understand the details of both types of dungeons.

"Yes, sir, no worry, as it is our duty to let you know all the details."

I nodded as he continued.

"So, sir, the dungeons are mainly divided into two types excluding the unique dungeons. The first one is a private dungeon, where only a group or solo person can enter and only after completing it, they can exit the dungeon. On the other hand, a public dungeon is a dungeon where anyone enter regardless of the number of people but there are some level restrictions. This type of dungeon won't close or refresh even after boss is defeated until two months later when it gets refreshed and ready to be used again. The only downside of this dungeon is that only a few have been found so far, with the count being less than five."

"Okay so if I to raid a private dungeon can you please recommend dungeon that is around Lv.20-30 or a little higher in level and can be used now?" I asked as the attendant nodded and started checking screen to see if he could the required dungeon.

"Oh, sorry sir, there are four dungeons, and all are reserved for week by some Guilds, so you won't be able to use them. However, there is a public dungeon Lv.20-50, and the price to hunt there 20% of the total bodies you hunt per day," he told me and after hearing I started to think.

'Hmmm~~~! well I can't wait for one week also so going into dungeon is okay for me.'

"Okay sir, I will take this dungeon, can you tell me the way?" I told him, as the attendant nodded, started typing something, handed my ID back me, and pointed toward the dungeon areas.

"Sir, please go to the designated dungeon areas and hand over this slip to gain entry." He said as he took out a slip from the device and handed it to me.

"Thanks for the help," I said as he nodded with a professional smile.

I started walking toward the dungeon area, where all portals were located.

I found many hunters entering the area, along with some guild with all their members present. I walked around to see if I could find the association officials.

After a few minutes, found one who was standing just after sending away two groups of.

"Hello sir, may I help you?" He said as I handed him the slip the attendant told me to pass.

"Okay, so sir, where is your team? This public dungeon is this area, so you all can enter it right now."

"Sir, I am entering alone right, so can you guide me, as my time was already wasted before?"

"Sorry sir, but going alone in the dungeon is dangerous, even if it is a public one, does not mean that you can enter it however you want. Please join a group to hunt in there, and I will ask the senior officer about this mistake of sending such a low-level hunter alone to hunt."

He said as he tried to shoo me away, but I did not back down and took out my ID to show him proof.

"Sir, you can check my ID as I am quite eligible to enter the dungeon alone."

I said while pointing toward the wolf logo below the ID section, and it was truly satisfying to see his reaction when he saw my qualification to hunt alone.

"Oh, sorry kid I thought you were trying to hunt inside the dungeon without your team. Don't take it to heart. Come, I will show you the way He said as I nodded with a small grin after seeing his change of behavior upon seeing my ID.

We walked toward a larger dungeon-type rift where many hunters were going in and out. Inside the dungeon, I could see many temporary stalls set up to make some profit.

"Here is the dungeon, sir. It's available for use anytime, so just come here. When exiting, you just have to give our officials 20% of the total hunt you've got. If you try to hide the corpses of monsters, then please be aware that the charge is half of the bodies you've got from the hunt."

"Okay, but is there any information about what type of dungeon it is, or will I get it from inside?"

"Oh no, sir, I will get it for you just now, so please wait. We don't do it for everyone, but you being a solo raider should be informed so you can take precautions."

He said as he started tapping his phone screen and, after a few seconds, showed me the information.
