The next day after my meeting with the future vice leader of Utopia…
"Shannon. I'll be back at night!"
I said as I rushed out of my room, walked down the stair to the first floor, and was running in the living room to the front door.
"What?! Where are you going?!"
Shannon's voice was hindered between the wall and floor, she was in her room on the second floor. Although it was hindered, I could still her voice a bit clearer when I reached the front door, wearing my shoes.
I shouted back.
"Hanging out with a friend!"
Footsteps rumbled right above me and slowly faded away. Opening the door, Shannon's voice came more clearly from behind.
"Hey!"
Stepping outside, I looked over my shoulder. Shannon's head was sticking out behind the inward wall, onto the stairs. She threw something toward me and I caught it.
It was the same black card she lend me when the flash dungeon incident occurred.
"Don't forget to pay me back later!"
Looking at the card, I noticed that it was wet. Curious, when I looked at her carefully, her hair was covered by a towel.
Narrowing my eyes, my gaze immediately locked on the area between her delicate white bare neck and chest...umm yes, what a beautiful view…
I quickly turned over and walked away while waving the card up in the air.
"Thanks!"
I had a plan for today. It was to enter an illegal dungeon.
Illegal dungeon was a dungeon that was not registered in Omega database. Meaning that it was either a newly formed dungeon or a hidden dungeon that had never been found by Omega.
There was actually a reward given to anyone who found a newly formed dungeon or hidden dungeon, but who in their right mind wanted to report such a thing to Omega when they could monopolize the dungeon?
Well, except for high-ranked Enhanced, either the heroes or villains. Most Enhanceds, heroes, or civilians would likely report the dungeon for the reward than raid it right away. There were a few reasons for that.
First, they didn't know the rank of the dungeon. If the dungeon they found turned out a high-ranked dungeon, then they might as well as dead. Second, they didn't know what was inside the dungeon. And three, they were a coward.
The dungeon I was going to enter was a dungeon near the village in the countryside where Specter or Goose lived. In that village, there was a lake he used to visit for fishing.
Yesterday, he put on hold my proposal to work together. Suddenly in the evening, he messaged me that he agreed to work as my informant. As my first request, I told him that I needed an unregistered dungeon to raid. He told me that there was a dungeon near the lake in the village he used to live in, no one had ever gone to that lake other than him so he was the only one who knew the existence of that dungeon.
Today, my plan was to raid that dungeon. He also said that it was a low-ranked fishmen dungeon that even E-rank heroes could solo clear it.
Arriving in front of the Octagram Transport Center, I waited for Goose in the city square. As of now, I was Ian Crow, a handsome man with weird fashion taste.
My white shirt with a high stiff collar was hidden under my black waistcoat which was hidden under the victorian's style black cape coat, and a black hat. This was indeed excessive, but somehow I liked this type of fashion except for the hat.
I took off the hat and put it on my Storage Cube.
"Now this is better."
Approaching one of the food stalls that sell fast food, the fast food vendor blushed when she saw me. Curious, I asked her why she blushed and she said that she was fascinated by me.
"Sorry?"
"Ah. No sir. I apologize for my rudeness, it's just that your face is so charming it overwhelms me…" she said, her face blushing even more and she was fanning her face with her hands.
"Why thank you. You're also so beautiful, miss."
Oh hell, I might as well made Ian Crow's persona a womanizer. I would get a lot of benefits by doing that… Apart from power and money, charisma is another way to get to the top.
The food vendor looked like she was lost in her imagination. I shook my head slowly. Maybe this body's charm was too much for civilians to handle.
Coughing, the food vendor was back to reality. She apologized again and I said it was fine.
"I would like a burger."
Now that she came back to her senses, she immediately worked on my order.
When I was about to eat it, I forgot that I was wearing black gloves, the material was nice and comfortable, it was a shame if it got oil on it. So, I took off my gloves and then ate the burger.
"Hey, there!"
Not long after I finished my burger, Goose finally arrived. He was in his casual clothes, a white hoodie and black trouser.
He had that confused look when he first saw me, maybe he was also judging my fashion sense but he didn't say it.
"Let's go right away, we don't have much time."
I raised my eyebrow as I watched his back. What did he mean by 'we' don't have much time?
"What do you mean?" I asked as I started walking behind him.
"You will know when we arrive there."
His face looked nervous. What actually happened to the dungeon? He said it was just a low-level fishmen dungeon, why would that worry him?
I wanted to question him right here right now, but I felt like that'd just annoyed him. We walked inside the OTC and go straight to one of the farthest warp gates in the corner.
"Good morning."
The guy who seemed to operate this warp gate greeted us with a smile.
"Where would you like to go, gentlemen?"
"Philippine."
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom The operator nodded and worked on the monitor beside the warp gates. After that, he looked at us again.
"Right this way, sir."
"Let's go."
Goose walked toward the huge portal looking like a wormhole in sci-fi movies. Following after him, once I stepped inside the warp gate, my body felt like it was dissipated. It was the same experience when I came out of the flash dungeon, the same feeling where my body felt light and shapeless, and the sudden change of scenery made me nauseous.
It felt instant, the moment I stepped inside the warp gate, the view of the portal wormhole-looking changed to that of an outdoor area in the park.
Not giving me any chance to look around the area, Goose dragged me toward a hooded person.
A wizard.
There was only one thing people would need from a wizard around the Transportation Center. That was a teleportation service.
"Hello. Would you like to use my teleportation service?"
"Yes. To this location, please," said Goose, pointing his finger at the marked location on the map in his hand.
This wizard fellow looked plain, nothing special on him. Was he really able to do a teleportation spell?
The teleportation spell wasn't an ordinary spell. It was one of the high-ranked spells. Although teleportation didn't have offensive power because it was more like a utility spell rather than an attack spell, it still could be useful in combat especially if someone mastered a rapid casting to simultaneously used teleportation to attack the enemy blindspot.
Compared to most B-ranked and above Enhanceds, that spell was rather useless as the average B-ranked Enhanceds had already improved their senses to break through a normal human limit.
Because this wizard's appearance was less convincing, I doubted he could use a teleportation spell. But I was proved wrong.
Judging by his magic output, he was at least a 4th star wizard. Although the recommended rank to use a teleportation spell was a minimum of 5th star, there was an exception to a 4th star wizard with huge mana capacity and good mana control.
I'd make a mental note not to judge the book by its cover…
The feeling of getting teleported by a teleportation spell had less impact on my body than the warp gate or dungeon gate.
The surrounding area was open green fields and vast rice fields as far as my eye could see. Honestly, this view was extraordinary and refreshing for my eyes, I'd never thought a land like this would still exist in 2030 when technology had advanced. Also, I'd never mentioned a countryside region in the novel, the background the novel took was mostly in the city or dungeon.
"If you're done enjoying the view, then let's go."
I rolled my eyes at him. Couldn't even let me enjoy the view and the land I'd never seen for so long…
"Yes. Yes. I'm coming."
After some time exploring the light forest, we finally arrived at our destination.
"We're here…"
Looking around, the lake was small but magnificent. The color of the water was clear and filled with blue particles—magic molecules floating around the lake. This view reminded me of a magical lake in fantasy stories.
As much as I want to enjoy the view, I had been reminded myself of my purpose here.
The area surrounding the lake was a normal forest, filled with trees, some were about to break. A fishing hut across from us, and a path to the deepest part of the forest to our left. But, I didn't see any dungeon portal around the lake…
"Where is the dungeon?"
Smirking, he pointed at the small lake under us with his eyes.
Taking notice of what he meant by his eyes gesture, I carefully observed the small lake.
"Don't tell me…"
Using my Clairvoyance, an unusually large screen appeared above the lake.
