After running for some time, Poe soon came to a stop. Breathing heavily, Poe looked around himself.
He had absolutely no idea where he was and there was weird equipment or some weird toys all around him. Seeing that he was lost, Poe let out a sigh, but he did not regret it, as he got away from Ivy without getting hurt (emotionally).
While Poe was wondering where he currently was, somewhere in the darkness of the third floor, a weird laughter leaked out from a corner close to Poe.
"Hehe… Finally… Someone has come! Hehe… I wonder if I can finally free myself from this damned place… HAHAAAHAHA."
Poe who heard the creepy voice slowly turned to where the sound came from. What greeted him was a somewhat modest yet beautiful dress. Unlike normal dresses, this dress did not flow from the top to the bottom, but stopped around the knees. The dress was a light blue color, painted with a delicate dark blue wavy pattern that flowed along the bottom part of the dress. Looking at the dress, Poe felt he was looking at the ocean gently flowing below the blue sky, he might not have seen it before, but he had read so much about it that he could somewhat imagine what it looked like.
Looking around, Poe could not find out where the sound came from, but as he looked around. The voice from before returned.
"HEEEY! You there, yes you damned elf. Help me out please; I have been stuck here for wh- WHERE ARE YOU GOING I'M RIGHT HERE!"
Poe, who heard the creepy voice that he had deemed to be from a man, hurriedly turned around to leave. This was no place for a fragile flower such as Poe, even Poe realized that the owner of the voice was dangerous and had already started to think whether it would be a good idea to scream for help.
Ivy was out there somewhere after all…
"W-wait a second! Don't leave yet please! I am inside the dress you looked at before! Please just help me out… I-I will do anything…"
Hearing what Poe assumed to be a talking dress, he turned around and looked at the blue dress and just as he was about to turn around running away, it started shinning with a gentle blue color.
"Yes, the dress, I am inside the dress! Please help me out of here…!"
After the dress stopped talking, the shinning blue color slowly died out.
Having realized that the man might really be trapped inside the dress, Poe inched closer and looked at the description in front of the dress.
[???]
[Requires: Needs acknowledgement of the being sealed inside the dress to use it, if put on without acknowledgement of the being inside you will die]
[???]
[Costs 1 silver]
[Note: The dress was found in an ancient ruin outside the world boundary. Ended up at the third floor after nobody bought it in the headquarters for over 10.000 years]
Seeing the description, Poe could not help but take in a deep breath. There really was someone sealed inside the dress and by the looks of it, it was someone from beyond the world boundary. That meant, whoever was inside was above level 100.
Thinking this, Poe got a little excited, as he made his way to the dress in front of him, but just as he was about to touch it, it suddenly lit up with a deep and aggressive blue color. Soon a dominating and arrogant voice came from the dress.
"So? Little elf, want to help me out, in return I wi-"
Before the poor little dress could speak up, Poe, who excitedly arrived in front of it picked up the dress and ran away with the dress in his hand.
"Yay! I got a new dress and it can even talk~"
"HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING TO ME, DAMNED MORTAL, JUST WAIT UNTIL I FREE MYSELF, I WILL DAMN YOU TO THE EIGHTEEN LAYERS OF HELL AND LET YOUR SOUL BURN FOR ETERNITY!"
Poe happily ignored the dress cursing him as he made his way around the floor looking for Lucia.
"If that is how you would like it, then this lord will entertain you, hehe, I wonder how you would like this, HAHAHA, I am indeed a genius! HAHA."
A blue light slowly enveloped Poe, before quickly disappearing again. Poe did not notice the blue light that slowly appeared and disappeared. The only thing Poe noticed was that the dress suddenly stopped cursing him, then started laughing like crazy for some time before turning quiet.
Poe found it a little odd, but decided to just ignoring it.
After walking for some time, Poe checked his status screen and discovered that something new was there to it, to Poe's surprise. Looking at it, it was called [Equipment].
Clicking on it there was only one thing that showed up.
[Dress of The Starlight Ocean]
[Description: Light blue color, painted with a delicate dark blue wavy pattern that flows along the bottom part of the dress (will change after reaching the next stage)]
[Stage 1: increases learning speed of water based spells by 50 %, allows underwater breathing and increases swimming speed by 500 %]
[Stage 2: [Locked]]
It looked like this dress was not simple! A 500 % increases in swimming speed and underwater breathing, Poe felt like he would soon turn into a fish.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Poe heard Lucia's voice in the distance and hurried over with his new dress in hand.
Sadly… Unknown to Poe, the being inside the dress did something that would change his life forever.
"Hehe, that is what you get for messing with this lord! Just you wait, when I come out, I will teach you damned mortal, who is boss around here."
Sadly, the almighty being sealed inside the cute dress did not know how much his fate would change. All because of what he did to Poe earlier.
