Dungeon

Ryan used the eye of insight on Maria again and this time her emotion isn't panic or anything. It's intrigue and curiousity. She looked at him and asked," how do you know I'm lying? ", Ryan looked at her and asked," I can't tell that to you ", Maria smirk deepened and she said," so this must be your unique skill. An identifying type. What skill is that? Eye of wanderer? Eye of merchant? But they can't tell if someone is lying. So it's the eye of insight. Then you may peeked at my status. Hoh, you're so bold aren't you? ".

Ryan didn't even care and said," so what if I did? And what if your guess is wrong? What if my unique skill isn't eye of insight? ", Maria smirked and said," interesting. How about a bet? ", Ryan said," I won't agree to anything until I know the winning price and stakes ".

Maria smirked and said," it's simple. The ranking announcement. If I beat you in rankings, join the Thunderbird Guild as my bodyguard and you'll obey my every order for the time of 2 years contract. If you win I'll give you an A ranked item. How about it? Will you agree to the bet? ".

Ryan looked at her and said," sure, but next time put a leash in your dogs ", a guy behind maria couldn't take it anymore and ran towards Ryan," how dare you? I have had enough ", he fired wind blades at Ryan who vanished from his spot and knocked the boy to the ground before saying," it seems that you still haven't realised the difference".

He activated demonic power while dark flames spread from him and formed a demonic form like projection and said," be ready to give me a free A rank item the day after tomorrow miss Maria ", she laughed and said," we'll see about that and you didn't say your name ".

Ryan thought and said," you can call me The Ghost ", Maria frowned and asked," I want your real identity. Your real name ", Ryan said," sorry miss. But I would like to be anonymous for sometime. Afterall I don't want rogues tailing me ", Maria asked," rogues, why would they chase you? ".

Ryan looked at her and said," in the toxic forest somehow a necromancer from a higher floor descended and tried to summon a death knight by offering sacrifices. I killed him and his vampire servant. I don't want anyone to know my identity for now ".

Maria wanted to ask more questions but the tower alarm blared and teleportation circles appeared. Ryan typed the co-ordinates of his house and he is sent there immediately. He took off his mask, armour and outfit. Changing into a normal one he took a bath and goes outside for lunch.

Ordering some meat and drink he looked at television. It's broadcasting the news of tower today. There is a report saying a necromancer from upper floors appeared in first floor along with a vampire. And a mysterious awakener called the ghost who rescued the new awakeners from them. Some say he is also rogue awakener, some say he saved their lives, some say this is all a drama for attention.

But Ryan didn't care. He just left the restaurant and took out four mana stones from the goblins he hunted. Everyone needs money afterall, coin exchange is risky. That's why, this is good. If he can just the mana stones he hunted then he will be like any other awakener.

Ryan is going to trade the mana stones in the association for money. But the association is bustling with people. There is a line too. He sighed and entered the line. About half an hour later he is able to sell his mana stones to the association and he received 3000 dollars for that. Awakeners may look like rich but if he takes into account the resources like artifacts and potions needed for the tower and dungeons then this barely gives him a couple of low level health or mana potions.

Ryan's cracked his neck and goes to his apartment. Looking at the pictures of him being held by his parents when he is little made him smile. His father raised him high in the air while his mother is panicking when they're taking a photo. He still remembers the scolding that his mother gave to his father when he threw Ryan into air and caught him.

He switched on the tv while a breaking news appeared :

[ A dungeon appeared in the swan city central park. ]

[ The police and awakener association are quick act and evacuated the people around ]

[ Thanks to them no one accidentally entered the dungeon ]

[ The dungeon will be opened to awakeners from tomorrow after the raid team of awakener association clears it ]

[ The information from th scouts say it's a forest filled with spiders and red wolves ]

[ The dungeon entry level is said to be lv 5-lv 20 ]

Ryan raised an eyebrow. It seems, he needs to visit this dungeon sometime. As he is thinking, many things flashed in his mind. He needs to find an alchemist too or an Alchemy skill. This can't go on like this. In the later stages he may need potions. Sure he has Gluttony for recharge but what if there is no corpses and only bosses. His Gluttony seems like it's not yet usable on living things. So he needs to be careful. And he needs to get his undead too.

Ryan also thinking about getting the holy power before class assignment quest. He has demonic power it determines a dark class, if he possess holy power too then it'll balance the outcome. Demonic power erodes body and will as the user continues to use it and prolonged use may cause demonization. He will lose control, so balancing it with holy power is the option he has.

And more than that he needs both powers so he won't be awakened by other. Demonic power is good for attacks and holy power is good for healing, breaking curses and debuffs also effective against demonic entities.
