Chapter 8 - 8: Dungeon

June ,an A class awakened, stood outside the huge white portal like lights. Her body tensed. Most of the awakened from different guilds gathered around her trying to figure out what type of portal it was.

The portal was different from usual. Most of the poetals were free entry but this portal seemed to have a limit.

Thirty awakened had entered and she wasn't even sure if civilians has been pulled in.

She looked around her surroundings and scoffed in disdain.

The portal had to choose to open in such a disgusting place. She had heard of the huge red light district a parasite to the nations but couldn't be removed.

The portal had destroyed almost half of the red light district. She could see bodies every where the unlucky ones who had not managed to escape.

She kicked a hand out of the way. The owner of the body was probably severed by the portal.

" Miss June, we can't really get a measurement of the portal?" A technician said as he lead the others to assess more.

" Why is that?" She asked walking to the measuring device.

" I'm not really sure ma'am, it just keeps cream starics and there are weird words forming," he said pointing at the computer screen that looked to be typing itself.

PLEASURE SHALL RULE

June looked at the words written in cursive confused. Was it a prophecy or a warming.

" Miss June!" Another technician shouted stumbling towards them holding a table," we found the class of the portal..."

He paused trying to catch his breath . The fear apparent in his face.

" Just say it!" She said getting irritated.

" It's S class ma'am!" He said his voice trembling.

" What, that's impossible."

Everyone looked at the dungeon entrance, the awakeners sent inside would probably never come back.

Clearing an S class dungeon that would be a dream without an S class inside.

" Request for an S class the dungeon will open after everyone is dead.

...

" Hey wake up," Alaric felt someone shaking him awake. He blinked his eyes trying to adjust to the light.

He sat up slowly looking around him. Four people surrounded him looking at him in bewilderment.

" Where am I," he asked still confused.

" I think you accidentally entered the dungeon."

That cleared his mind in an instant. He started to look around frantically .

" Mama Martha!" He shouted as he stood up trying to locate the old lady. The only thing he remembered is running from the brothel him at the front her at the back holding his arm.

" Who are you looking for?" An older man probably in his mind thirties wearing an armor asked clearly annoyed by the rackus he was causing. That was a dungeon for god's sake they didn't know the requirements.

" A small old lady, I was with her.we..." Alaric words came to a slow whisper then stopped as his last memory came back. The white light had cut her up.

Tears started to stream down his face as sobbing racked his body. He didn't know why he was crying maybe because he had witnessed his first death. He could still feel blood on his back and neck.

Or maybe it was just an emotional overload of everything that was happening. He just wanted to see a dungeon opening but not enter the dungeon himself.

The others just looked at him no one offering a condolence.

" Here , we got this next to you," the older man gave him the bag mama Martha had given him . Alaric smiled and held it to his chest. His tears had dried up and he squared his face back to his usual expression.

" I'm Loury," a blue haired girl walked towards him and said with a smile." We are awakeners you are probably a civilian and you accidentally got pulled in. You should walk behind us we are planning to explore the place."

Alaric got a look around him, they seemed to be in a forest like place. He couldn't see beyond what looked like a barrier. He looked at the people checking and packing their things into backpacks . Weapons were being pulled out of this small back packs living him confused.

( They are storage bags)

The system interface came.

"Are we like already inside the dungeon ," Alistair asked the system looking at the relaxed awakened.

( You are technically in the dungeon but not inside fully. This is a protective space outside the dungeon for preparation before entering)

" Ooh so we are not inside. Can we just hide here?" He asked again.

( You cannot you get a time limit of two hours then you are sent to the dungeon. You have thirty seconds)

That scared Alaric. He knew he was the weakest here and all the people were awakened so he had a hundred percent chance of death.

" Don't drag us down. We are not here to protect you," a guy taller than Alaric and built like a tank passed by him knocking him over. This caused him to stumble to the side.

What was wrong with the dude. He knew he was weak he never asked to be protected. Alaric though rubbing the shoulder that ached after being knocked by the dude.

" It's time," the older man said.

A white light engulfed the whole place. Alaric covered his eyes annoyed. What's with all the lights. He thought.

Alaric opened his eyes to peoples gasps.

Infront of him was a large garden that seemed to be grown in ruins. The place looked well maintained.

Flowers of different colors littered the area light from the moon reflected into them creating different mirages and colors that seemed to float in the air.

A huge golden tree stood in the middle of the garden. It seemed to be absorbing the light reflected by the flowers.

If this wasn't a dungeon Alaric would appreciate the beauty.

But that was not what caught Alarics attention. There was different statues of naked women around the garden. They were different sizes. Some small while others large.

The statues seemed to be in different states of pleasure and sexual positions.

The statues eyes he could swear were looking at them but maybe this was his own illusions.

" What the fuck is this?" A girl shouted in the crowd. Alistair nodded agreeing with her.

" System what type of dungeon is this?" He asked since the system didn't seem to give him an explanation with him asking for it most of the time.

DUNGEON

NAME : Garden of temptation

CLASSIFICATION: S- rank illusionary Dungeon.

TYPE: Eros type anomaly.

ENTRY: Accidental.

STATUS: weaponless,low stats.

SURVIVAL: 0.00000001%

Alaric looked at the classification of the dungeon and all the blood drained from his body. Even an amateur like him would know what that means.

He knew he had to warm them but he didn't know how. He looked around frantically trying to find any one he could talk to.

He could feel the fear climbing up him slowly as his body started to tremble. He could feel it in his bones he was going to die if he didn't do anything but he was like an ant in the middle of an ocean.

" I don't think this is a normal dungeon. Maybe it's S class?" He said softly trying to make it sound like he was just jumping into conclusion.

" Kid, just be quiet. You've never been to a dungeon so let the experts handle it. This is a C class at best," the older man said. The others snickered at that.

A sickening sweet perfume smell flooded the air around the dungeon. Alaric could see the flowers starting to bloom, they were the ones producing the smell.

" Bailey where are you going?" A female voice shouted.

Alaric saw a brunner girl dressed in black leather armer walking towards a shining woman dressed in a see through gown beckoning at the girl.

The girl seemed to be in a trance and couldn't hear anyone calling.

" It's the statues they are alive," a panicked voice said.

The girl reached the statue faster than anyone could stop her. Then the absolutely worse happened.

The shining woman opened it's mouth wide , teeth littered it's whole mouth and bit of the head of the girl. The flowers as though given a signal surged around the body . The body disappeared into the ground.

A scream broke through the air as another girl probably her friend ran towards the statue.

Alaric looked around him the group seemed to start moving towards different statues even after witnessing what happened to the first girl.

" System, system, system," Alaric called out scared.

But he got no answer. The system seemed to have abandoned him or something was preventing it from responding.

" Food, food.."

Alaric saw a man shout and run towards the golden tree in the middle of the garden probably thinking it was the source.

When he reached under the tree a red fruit that looked like it was made of glass started to form. The fruit was heart shaped after completion.

The man picked up the fruit and bit into it with a deranged smile.
