Volume 001 The Start of a New Beginning: Chapter 21 - Portals (didn't finish editing yet)
Day 6 (5:37 PM) |
On their way back to the dorms, something caught Rem's attention. A massive crowd of people was gathered in one place. At the center was a portal that looked precisely like Rem remembered. However, the portal wasn't red. It was dark purple.
Rem quickly went back to her dorm room, preparing to go into the portal. She waited till the sky went dark. Rem distracted most of the guards and knocked a few of them out. She successfully entered inside, without knowing what was going to happen.
(Rem's level 30.)

Day 6 (5:44 PM) |
When Rem entered the portal, the entrance behind her disappeared. She walked into a purple, misty forest filled with spider-like creatures.
These creatures are called Vamp Spiders. They're poisonous. After getting bitten, one could become paralyzed. Those spiders would suck your blood dry. Not only will the poison slowly spread, but you're also paralyzed, and you're dying from blood loss.
There are 3 known ways to escape a portal. The first way is to use an escape ruin. The second way is to kill all the monsters. The third way is to defeat only the boss.
Rem chose the latter, which is to defeat the boss. However, before she could get to the boss, Rem was bitten by a Vamp Spider and became paralyzed. A bunch of other spiders then pounced on her.
(Rem's level 33.)

Day 6 (5:59 PM) |
Rem activated a flame spell that was drawn onto her palm in her mind. The spiders that surrounded her turned into nothing but ashes.
When Rem arrived at where the boss was, she saw a dragon and the queen spider fighting fiercely with each other.
Rem decided to help the dragon kill the boss by using her shadow chains to restrain the queen spider from moving. Although the chains shattered after a few seconds, this gave the dragon enough time to finish the queen spider off.
As a result, Rem gained a lot of experience points.
(Rem's level 41.)
The dragon turned its head, looked down, and stared at Rem with its piercing golden eyes.

Day 6 (7:03 PM) |
Rem spoke to the dragon. The dragon was surprised because Rem talked to it in the language of dragons. Rem did that without even realizing it.
The dragon wanted Rem to take care of its child and have its child grow alongside Rem. It also wanted Rem to make a blood contract with its child. In return, it'll give Rem a portion of its powers. As long as the dragon's powers are in Rem, the dragon can sense where Rem is and protect her when she needs its help.
Rem agreed, accepting the contract by pouring her blood on the top of the egg that had red and black flames on it. The dragon left, leaving Rem with its child, which hadn't hatched out of its egg yet.
(Rem's level 41.)

Day 6 (7:11 PM) |
Rem was back inside the city. A couple of people dressed in black were following her. Those people tried to kill Rem. Suddenly, the system gave Rem a quest, telling Rem to kill those people. Rem killed everyone except one to get some information out of him. Before the assassin could say anything, his heart exploded, so Rem ended up completing the quest of killing all 15 assassins.
Rem didn't feel anything even after killing humans.
By killing people and completing the quest, Rem gained an astonishing 9 levels.
(Rem's level 50.)
After killing those assassins, the system gave Rem a title called Newbie. Rem realized that she got a lot stronger by killing people.
The system gave Rem 2 quests, which were for Rem to evolve and for Rem to hatch the dragon egg.
Rem went to her dorm room, inspected the dragon egg, and rested.

Day 7 (8:00 AM) |
The principal announced that there would be no school for a week due to the portal incident.
Rem and Karina spent this time shopping, going to cafes, bakeries, and many shops.
Rem found out that she could get the materials she needed by going to the Adventurer's Guild. She parted ways with Karina and spent the night sleeping.

Day 8 (9:00 AM) |
The next morning, before going to the Adventurer's Guild, Rem wanted to help Karina level up further and get the other materials she needed. She teleported Karina to the Dark Forest, found the entrance to a dungeon, and entered the dungeon.

Day 8 (9:21 AM) |
Rem and Karina explored the dungeon. They encountered corrupted monsters, who were abnormally stronger than normal monsters.
Due to how many strong monsters there were, the two got tired a lot. After many hours, they decided to rest. Karina cooked. She slept while Rem stayed up to look out for any monsters that might come to them.
(Karina's level 24.)
(Rem's level 50.)
After a few hours of rest and another few hours of fighting, Rem and Karina finally arrived at the boss room entrance. There, they met two level 60 statue monsters who guarded the boss room entrance.
The latter struggled but still managed to defeat the two high-level statue monsters.
Rem and Karina drank some mana and health potions and rested some more. After that, they entered the boss room.

Day 8 (4:43 PM) |
Rem inspected the boss. The boss was called a Grim Reaper. It's level 100. Rem didn't expect the boss to be such a high level. On top of that, the boss was corrupted, which means that it's stronger and harder to defeat.
At first, the boss's health was going down bit by bit slowly, but when the boss attacked Karina using one of its special attacks, Rem took the hit for Karina. This caused Rem's health bar to go down to a little less than half. The more health Rem loses, the more health the Grim Reaper gains back. Rem's health bar kept going down due to the Grim Reaper's "curse" effect.
Before Rem's health bar almost dropped to zero, a message popped up, saying whether or not Rem wanted to activate "Auto Fighting Mode." Rem pressed yes and lost consciousness. However, her physical body healed and acted on its own. Even though Rem looked like she was awake, she wasn't aware of what she was doing. It's as if Rem was being controlled.
After Rem defeated the Grim Reaper, Rem got her consciousness back. She didn't know what happened, but she trusted what Karina told her. Once the dungeon was completed, Rem and Karina left by touching a magic pillar that appeared after they defeated the boss. The dungeon collapsed and they were teleported back to the dungeon entrance, which was now in ruins.
Rem apologized to Karina and left to rest after a long day.

Day 8 (10:59 PM) |
Rem dressed as an 18-year-old boy before going to the Adventurer's Guild because she wanted a separate identity. That way, she wouldn't seem suspicious due to the power she's hiding and she could also get an Adventurer's Card since you must be 18 years or older or have graduated from a school like Starim Academy. After Rem registered as an Adventurer, she went to an Auction to get an item she needed for her to evolve.
