*After eating
*
"I must be the happiest man, Akira your cooking is so good marry me"
Kei made jokingly advances towards Akira
"Say that again and you'll never eat my cooking again"
Akira threatened Kei
"I apologise sir Akira Aikawa"
Akira had a satisfied look on his face
Akira then opened the TV conveniently placed in the Kitchen, and put on the news
~news guy~-" today we have the most bizarre news everyone, the aliens are finally attacking! Some strange "Portal" has appeared near the alien sightings. Well, I call it that but we don't know what it is yet, the police will investigate it later this day when they prepare some equipment, be sure to tune in at 7 o'clock for our live reaction"
~TV closing sounds~
Akira closed the TV
"Could this be the new way I'm supposed to be re-incarnated in another world?"
"Kei, do you have an idea of what that is?"
Akira wasn't into fantasy novels or manhua, so he couldnt guess what that "portal" was
"I think I can guess what it is..."
~sigh~
Kei took a deep breath before he started talking
"That is a Gateway for monsters to invade our world. Why? Well in other manwa the monsters could need a new world or they hate humans, but I think right now in this world... They are here for me."
"Come on, how many could there be? It's not that big of a portal"
Akira naively proclaimed
"You don't get it, even if this portal has few monsters, then what about the next? Portals aren't all the same, some are different rank and some are really hard to beat,, I'm saying I have to go in the Portals or monsters will spew out of them, perhaps killing thousands"
"Tough luck"
Akira could only say that
Keisuke had conflicting thoughts
"Akira I'm in a dilemma, the police will have gone in the "portal" dungeon by afternoon, if they go in they will most likely die. But it might be better for them to know what a gate is sooner than later. I don't know what to do. Should I try and beat the dungeon or should I let it be?"
Kei couldn't figure out which choice was the best
"What if you make an anonymous phonecall-"
"AKIRA YOU GENIUS! I'LL GO TO A PAY PHONE RIGHT NOW!"
Akira was always the smarter of the two, so he could easily think of solutions
Kei left the dojo to look for a pay phone
He Run around and eventually found a payphone
"All right, I'll alter my voice and then talk"
Kei picked up the phone and called the police
~deep voice~
"The portal is a dungeon with monsters. You go in, you die unless you have a superhuman with you"
"Sir this is the police emergency line. Wait... are you an alien?"
The police officer asked a clear question
"No... But I know a lot about them... Don't go in the portal. I'll clear it myself"
"Sir alien i-"
~beep beep beep~
Kei hang up the phone
"it's been long since I've been out of the sect... Time to head back"
Keisuke went back to the dojo without taking a look at the portal, because he knew all the clichés
'If I go and take a look only God knows what will happen, most likely I will trigger a dangeon break.'
At the dojo Kei found Akira drinking some apple juice and he asked him for a favour
"A ki ra, have I ever told you how beautiful your name is?" Kei was trying to sweet talk Akira
"Ke i, yes, every time you needed something"
"Nonsense, I'm not saying this just because I want something from you! I want you!"
Akira now flustered, stuttered as he tried to speak
"Ke-kei? What do you me-"
"I'm going in the dungeon and I need you to keep me safe, what did you expect? Get us some cloaks too"
Akira was now noticeably ticked off
"Fine, meet me at the front of the dojo in 10 minutes."
Akira then headed off to grab what Kei presumed to be cloaks
Keisuke got the sword Akira had given him and practiced for a bit until it was time to go
*10 minutes later
~stepstep~
"Akira you are here!"
~fabric sound~
Akira threw a cloak at Kei
It was a black plain cloak
Akira was wearing one of the same cloaks
Kei quickly put it on and headed to the portal with Akira
"Thank you Akira, for everything" with an overly emotional way of speaking Kei thanked Akira
"what are you saying right before heading to Battle? That's a red flag"
Akira said with a gentle smile
~dash~
Then they both dashed towards the portal.
When they came close they stopped about 50 metres away
"System analysis"
[I'm not cowalsky, but I belive it is as you had expected, its a dungeon portal]
"can you tell when it's going to spew baddies?"
[A dungeon break will happen when it consumes enough Mana]
"Dumbass system, when."
[ Approximately 5 days ]
"Akira, we have 5 days to conquer the dungeon, or else it goes cablamo"
Akira ignored my bad taste in humor along with my illiterate writing and proclaimed
"Well we better get going then"
Keisuke nodded and headed for the portal
"One small step for man, one giant setback for God"
As Kei stepped through the portal, a faint dizzyness befell upon him but, he shook it off quickly
Kei looked around only to see a dimly lit cave along with
'a dimly dim Akira'
Kei took of the hood of his cloak and searched around to find some light, but no dice
"Akira do yo-"
"No."
Akira was quick to shut down Keisuke's advances, it appears he didn't have a light
"hmm, then I should try this..."
Kei thought of a way to make light
'I'll just raise my hand in the air like I don't care'
Fire started coming out of Kei's hand
Thanks to his Universe cultivation technique, Kei can make any attribute out of his Qi
"Heh, at least you are useful as a lighter"
Said Akira degradingly
"Well then, shall we take a look at what monsters are in this dungeon?"
Kei started using divine consciousness as he didn't want anything to sneak up on him
After breaking through multiple levels, Keisuke's divine consciousness had grown a lot. At the start it it was 50 meters at most but now it's range went up to 150 meters
The two boys started walking down the cave, and after a while the cave's direction became right instead of straight,
Through divine consciousness Kei sensed a monster
"hold on, go stealthy" ~wishper~
Keisuke looked around the corner and he saw 6 cobolts around a campfire burning and eating "something"
As Kei steped closer to see, he saw the body of an orc, dismembered, the head on a stone and a leg cooking on the fire. The cobolts hunted an orc, Kei looked at the cobolts and they looked like they had taken quite a beating, it's to be expected, orcs are stronger than cobolts even if they outnumber them its hard to beat them
As Keisuke was pretty close by now, a cobolt spotted him and roared
~RAAAWERRR~
Kei's sword was already unsheathed ready to strike
~dash~
The cobolts rush at Kei all at once
~grip~ ~flahs~
Keisuke appeared behind them in a cool pose, and before they understood what happened their heads fell off their necks
"what did you expect? I've already beaten cobolts before when I was much weaker."
Kei took out the mana stones and remembered something
"Hey Akira, what happened to that ogres mana stone?"
"It was tasty"
Akira said while licking his lips
He had already "taken care of" the mana stone of the ogre
"Bastard"
The two boys continued heading deeper and this time found some orcs
4 orcs around a camp each cooking a different cobolt, they sure were a hungry bunch
"The hell kinda time did we decide to get in the dungeon? Lunch time?" Akira was rightfully questioning the monsters circumstances
"Kei had never fought an orc before, but he knew that orcs were much weaker than an ogre, and after his training he could 100%defeat an ogre, maybe two
~hup~ ~swoosh~
Kei without leaving them time to catch on to what was happening, took out the two closest to him swiftly
~thud~ ~thud~
And he dashed at the others
~slash~
Kei cut one of the orc's head but the other dodged his sword, grabbing it's club that was conviniently sitting next to it
As it went to swing at Kei, he swung at the Same time
~slash bong ~ ~clack thud ~
Kei slashed through the club as well as it's head
"I've gotten strong, but this dungeon is too strong for a normal human, if those cops came in they would have died..."
Kei collected their mana stones
"That makes it 6 cobolt stones and 4 orc."
Kei put them in his backpack, his stabbed backpack, now patched, in the 10 days of training he had learnt a lot, even sewing
"Akira, got any chemistry stoves?" Kei wanted to try pill making, after all, he broke through Rank 1 not long ago
"Alchemy furnace. And yes, back at the dojo, what, are you ready to make pills?"
Akira was a little angry at Kei's blunder in calling it chemistry stove
"Yes I believe I am! Well then, let's be done with this and go make some pills! If I remember to of course!"
After moving forward and killing 1 orc that was eating enother orc the two boys came across a fork road
"Left or right... Left."
They headed left
"Of course we are looking to fully clear this place we will go both ways, but first, left"
After a little they found it
After identifying his opponent Kei excitedly announced
"AH, my rival! "
It was an ogre
"Scared?"
Akira asked curiously
"No way, I won't let you take the mana stone this time"
"I just asked because when someone almost dies from something, trauma is formed"
Akira had a sly grin on his face
"Oh how caring, with you behind my back I have nothing to fear! Time for round two!"
Kei made his presence clear to the ogre
~GRAAAAAAAWW~
~Stomp Stomp Stomp~
The ogre charged at Kei6 with its club
'why does everyone have a club?'
~dash~ ~swish swoosh~
" Let's see, If I can cut your flesh now"
~slash~ ~gush~ ~woosh~
Kei slashed its ankle and blood flooded out,
It was now unable to take a step on that foot
~GWAAAAA~ It cried out
~swoo BOOM~
It swung down its club and Kei dodged easily, it was strong and fast, but he has become stronger
~yoan~
"Let's not waste time for no reason, this isn't a children's YouTube video"
~dash~ ~step step step~
Mimicking Kei's first fight with an ogre he dashed at him and got to its head
~slash~
After slashing it's neck, it dropped to its knees and then to the ground
"I won"
~clap clap clap~
Akira who was watching on the sidelines was congratulating Kei on his victory
"This feels nice"
Kei took out the ogres mana stone, it was larger than any he had seen before
'With this many mana stones
I can possibly break through to the next realm in cultivation, Martial body was it?'
"Hmm? Is this the end of the road?"
Kei and Akira took a look around and saw that this was the end of the road on the left path
Keisuke suggested to Akira
"let's head to the right side"
After heading to the right side they encountered 3 more orcs and easily dispatched them, after a while, they made it to an opening larger than normal. It was a large round room
"This must be the ending, this is just like a boss room, now, where is the boss?"
"Boss?"
Akira asked not knowing what that was
"Akira... A boss is a stronger monster than normal that is the master of a dungeon"
Kei explained in the most plain way he could as to not confuse Akira
"Oh! Like a sect master!"
"Yes Akira..."
After looking around they saw it, an ogre unlike any other they had seen before. It had a red skin colour and it was larger than a normal ogre
And... it was sleeping.
"Should I... Should I wake it up?"
Even before Kei had the chance, it heard him and
~Rumble~ ~Rumble~
~GRAUUUUAUAAAAAAAAA~
It woke up
"Oh this is such Bad news."
