Shortly after clearing the dungeon, the entire dungeon began to collapse. Alex couldn't figure out what to do. One after another, huge layers of rocks were falling from above, creating a very scary situation for Alex. Suddenly, a black gate appeared next to him like before. Alex didn't take the time to enter it.
Everything was back to normal. He returned to the tent. Although there were no wounds on his body, his clothes were torn in many places due to the previous fight. Also, the blood was all over his clothes. Alex first took out his clothes from his bag. Alex entered the dungeon at midnight. Six hours had passed by now. So it must be morning outside. From inside the tent, it was impossible to tell whether it was morning or night outside. So Alex lowered the tent chain and tried to get out.
-->>It's not morning yet!
Alex couldn't help but be surprised. He knew exactly how long he had been in the dungeon, about six hours. But why was that? The fire in the campfire outside made it clear that only half an hour had passed.
-->>How is this possible!
Alex doesn't understand. Two hours inside the dungeon is only ten minutes outside. Is this even possible? Alex didn't try to go deeper into it. He left his wonder for the future. Because he wouldn't get the answers to these questions now. With a tired body, he entered the tent again. He opened his status options for the last time,

Alex stared for a while. He didn't kill any of the last golems directly, so his level only increased by two. For each level up, he would gain five stat points. That would help him become even stronger. Alex's stamina was much lower than the rest of his stats. So he closed his eyes and increased his stamina.

Alex's stamina increased. Alex felt a slight itch all over his body.
-->>It's really nothing but cheating.(Alex)
Perhaps no one else will get such a benefit. Where a magical item will make life like a game. Alex started thinking about the mystery of the tower again. What is this tower? A huge, tall pillar reaching the sky that contains everything. From the outside, the height of the tower is visible. However, its thickness is not that much according to its height. But there is a space inside that tower that is bigger than our own world. How is this possible?
Alex's head started to feel heavy with all these thoughts. So he didn't even know when he fell asleep. He was having a dream. He probably didn't even know what kind of dream it was.
* * * * *
(As Alex)
I found myself in a different place. As far as my brain was telling me, I was having a dream. A dream where the cruel scenes of society were floating before me. The dream was being reflected in front of me in such a way that it felt like I was watching a movie. Every scene was cruelly real.
I don't even know how long I had the dream. Maybe a year. Let me give you a brief account of what I saw,
I don't know where the place is. But it's like a small town. Everyone in the town is very poor. The head of this town was a nobleman with the title of Baron who would do anything for money. He would take the crops of poor farmers and not give them money. He would ask for a higher price for every product he sold to them. If anyone said anything against him, he would kill them in front of the people. Not only that, if his account of sins were opened, it might not end there.
Because of the Baron, every house in the city is struggling with poverty. They are unable to afford a single meal. Many have died of starvation. Many have been forced to leave the city. But the Baron does not pay any attention to these things. Since the city is very small, no one in high positions bothers about its problems. But since all the people in the city cannot tolerate this oppression any longer, they contact a hero with great difficulty. Heroes are those who have received the blessings of the rulers of the spirit world. Since each hero is at the top of the world in power, they work against all kinds of sinners. Wherever injustice is seen, they work against it.
The innocent people were able to contact a hero with great difficulty. "Hero Magma", who is popular for his justice. If there is any injustice anywhere, he tries to solve it first. Hero Magma gives hope to the people of the small town. He will punish the Baron and bring peace to this town. But as months and years pass, Hero Magma does nothing. Meanwhile, the Baron's influence spreads further in the town. He starts abducting the virgin girls of the town every few days.
Although everyone respected and honored the heroes, all the captured virgin girls gradually saw the true face of some beasts called heroes. But they did not get the chance to warn the rest. All the girls were killed to satisfy their animalistic desires.
But luckily, a girl escapes from the hands of those animals. She runs away to her family. She starts warning everyone. I want to portray the image of some animals called heroes in front of everyone. But what does the girl get in the end? The whole town, including her family, gets together and arranges to burn the girl. She is introduced as a witch. The girl's own family also hates her by calling her a witch. That's why the girl has no will to live either. She has lost her last wish.
The girl has been tied to a long pole in front of the Baron's mansion. A lot of fuel has been put under it. Today is like a festival in the whole city. Everyone has suddenly forgotten the injustice done by the Baron. They want to do something for the heroes. Maybe if they kill this girl who is speaking against the heroes, the heroes will look at them a little. That will solve all the problems.
While everyone was enjoying the festival, the girl gave up all her desires. She looked at her family. Her parents and brother were standing in the distance. All three of them threw stones at her after looking at her. Seeing them, the others also threw stones at the girl. A fifteen-year-old girl's body cannot withstand so many stones. Blood flowed all over her body. With her last breath, she only said once,
-->>I have sacrificed my body, my mind, my blood, my slavery, everything. I don't know if anyone will hear my call. But if they have, then accept my sacrifice and fix this deteriorating society.
It took time for the girl to finish speaking but she didn't have time to hear a bird calling from the sky. With blurry eyes, she could see an eagle. The bird was so huge that a man was sitting on top of it. She couldn't see well. One of the men was going to set fire to the girl's body but she was scared when she saw the bird above. It wasn't an eagle or a rock bird. The bird looked black and scaly. But black fire could be seen through its body. The bird came right up to the girl. A man on top slowly came and stood in front of the girl.
-->>What is your name?
The man asked the girl. But the girl didn't answer. What is her real name? The parents who gave her that name are now trying to kill her. So the name they gave her isn't that important.
-->> I have accepted your offering. From today on, your body, your blood, your mind are mine. You will be my royal maid and serve me for the rest of your life. My name is the Demon Prince of Gluttony Beelzebub and your name from today on is Ziduri.
Beelzebub placed his left hand on the girl's head and said this. The ring on his left hand suddenly started to glow. Beelzebub slightly cut a finger on his right hand and fed two drops of blood to Jiduri. Immediately, Jiduri's physical changes began to change. The bird took the girl on its back. And Beelzebub, he started floating in the air.
The entire city was destroyed. Not a single living thing could be found inside. It has been three days and the fire is still not extinguished. No one has seen this fire before. Once it starts, it never goes out without completely burning down the place. Several soldiers from the Kingdom have come to find out what happened. Several heroes have also come with them. The bodies of two people are hanging in front of the main gate of the small city. One is the baron of this city and the other is Hero Magma. Below it is written,
"Be careful, hero, because even your ruler cannot save you from me."
(Dream ends)
* * * *
Today is the seventh day in the Demonic Forest. Today, many will enter the second zone, while many will remain in the first zone. A strong barrier separates the second zone from the first zone. As a result of this barrier, the demonic beasts of the second zone cannot enter the first zone. Which makes the first zone a very safe place. However, there is no barrier between the subsequent zones. So the real test for everyone will begin from the second zone.
Alex woke up from a very good sleep. He was very tired yesterday. His mind is very relaxed today. It seems to him that he has grown a year older. Because last night in his sleep he had a big dream of a year. Everything happened before his eyes. Alex took a big breath.
"Jiduri, then I think it's true. Jiduri is a living person who is sealed within this ring."
Alex still remembers those scenes. Even though he could see everything, he couldn't see the face of Demon Prince Beelzebub. However, after seeing the example of Demon Prince Beelzebub's power, he didn't need to see anything else. However, Alex had an idea in his mind,
"The place wasn't Earth or Egnolenia. It was definitely another world."
Alex began to think. After his thoughts, he looked up at the sky. Finally, what came out of his mouth was,
-->>Many are curious to know how many worlds there are.
Alex kept his interest in mind, because everyone had to go back to the second zone.
