World shaked, birds flied , sky shattered , darkness covered and fog rised.Zombie gruns echoed on the streets, rumbles like thunder started.Earth expanded and new buildings arised from the depths.
It all stopped like nothing happened but leaving behind a huge impact.
{~Stage 2 has started, good luck!~}
"Rin are you okay?"Haru asked while trying to recover.
"Yes brother but stage 2 just what is going on?"Rin was okay because she succesfuly hide under the table.
"I don't know Rin but it is still night time you go to sleep.I am going to stay awake and check the area."Haru said and quickly equipped everything he has which is a gun a grenade and his dagger.
"Akriel come."Haru said with a low tone and sky cracked opening a rift.Akriel was going to drop to the floor but Haru catched it not wanting to damage their house.
He extended mana threads and connecting them to Akriel's chest.Haru quickly wake Lucifer up.She kept sleeping all the time like nothing happened.Lucifer doesn't need to sleep but she founds it entertaining and when she sleeps it is hard to woke her up.
Katsumi opened her little eyes checking the area.
'Master whatttss going on? I can feel highly condensed mana in the air.'Katsumi talked and climbed to Haru's neck.
'I don't know as well but things will became harder from now on Katsumi.Keep your guard up.'Haru said mentally and went outside with Lucifer.
Rin lost to sleep and went to her bed believing that her brother will keep her safe no matter what.She fell asleep in no time.
Haru climbed to roof and checked locations near their house for potential dangers.There was nothing extraordinary except the huge cave popped out from nowhere.
He used Akriel to clear zombies on the street while he jumped from roof to roof.Akriel killed 5 zombies on the way and jumped all the way to Haru's location.
They runned for 15 minutes and reached to the cave.Inside of the cave was pitch black and it made everything worse.
*ROARRRR*
A thunder like roar shaked the dirt and shockwaves send Haru flying.He was on thin ice waiting for the monster to come out but it didn't.Haru waited more than a hour near the cave luckily nothing happened.He lighted a cigarette and gave one to Lucifer.
*PUFF*
Smoke covered his eyesight and he sat on the floor lifelessly.This much fuss was enough for him and his body couldn't take it anymore.He rested on the cold floor untill he was ready to go home.
Haru walked back to home with slow steps.He opened the door and tried to not make any sound.He went to his room and slept till morning.
Lucifer stood awake for the night and guarded their house.Not much later Rin woke up and went outside taking fresh air and checking the area.
She got bored and decided to wake Haru.She kissed him on the cheek and Haru opened his eyes slowly.He was still tired because of yesterday's events but he has works to do.
He fastly prepared something to eat and took a cold shower.Rin was ready when he was out of the bath so he quickly equipped his weapons and summoned Akriel.
Haru send Lucifer back to rest because she was mentally tired.His plan for today is going to the dungeon and looking for the new monsters.
They went to dungeon on full guard.There was some zombies on the way and Haru got a dumb idea.
"Rin i have a skill called 'Low Virus Resistance' it protects me from every kind of viruses on a low level.I can upgrade it by getting infected.So don't kill the zombies ahead i am going to let them bite me a little."Haru said his not so brilliant idea.
"Nope not happening Haru-nii."Rin said and keep walking like nothing happened.
"Trust me Rin i'll be fine."Haru looked at her with a reassuring smile.
Rin couldn't say anything and let her brother do whatever he wants.
Haru equipped his dagger and rushed to one of the zombies on the way while using Akriel to capture it.He swinged his dagger and cutted the limbs of zombie.Then Haru put his arm into zombie's mouth and let it bite him.
*DING*
{~User has been infected with an unknown virus.~}
{~Skill 'Low Virus Resistance' is working.~}
{~User succesfuly nullified the virus.~}
{~'Low Virus Resistance' is upgraded to 'Mid Virus Resistance'.~}
"Hell Yeah!! It worked Rin it worked."Haru laughed happily for the first time in a while.
Rin saw him laughing and hugged her brother.They hugged for a little and Haru killed the zombie he captured without looking back.
They did the process over and over but Haru's skill didn't upgraded one more time.He was still happy with his growth so they went on their way to the dungeon.
When they reached near to the dungeon Haru saw some tents and armed people guarding it.He signaled Rin to stop and they halted.
'Katsumi go and check the tents.Try to hear their talking too.We need to know who are they before going.'Haru said to Katsumi and she dropped to floor silently.
"We are going to wait a bit here.Katsumi will learn who are they and what are they doing then we can go."Haru told and sitted on the moisty ground.Rin sitted next to him and they waited for Katsumi to come back.
After 30 minutes Katsumi came and told everything she learned to Haru.
'Master they are from a group called Reporters.Their purpose here is learning more about dungeon and venturing inside.I heard that their leader is going to come in a hour.By the way i injected some poison to their water bottles.'Katsumi talked proudly and waited for Haru to pet her.
'Good job Katsumi.I don't know what will i do without you.'Haru said mentally and gave headpats to her.
He then told everything to Rin as well.After a discussion they aggreed on the idea of waiting for their leader to come.They already learned a little about Reporters so with that in mind they waited silently.
Haru was getting impatient but at that time a figure wearing a black cloak and white mask came.He talked in a robotic tone with his underlings and asked if they have learned something new.
Haru decided to go and signaled Rin.They got out of the hiding spot and walked to Reporters tents.They were walking silently but to member of Reporters it was loud enough to explode their ears.
Haru and Rin didn't know at that time how much power they had but compared to reporters they were like gods.Only their leader was unaffacted by them.
Haru turned a blind eye against the low level members and went straight to the leader.A cold and sharp sword tip touched his neck dripping some of his blood to the floor.Haru tilted his head to see what was going on and he saw a slender man wearing all black was pointing his sword against him.
Haru didn't care but he was angry too.He was in a mixed emotions but his anger win.He decided to use transform and slash the mans neck but a voice disturbed him.
"Lokan stop he can kill you in mere seconds."Leader said and walked forward to Haru.
"I am sorry for his actions wanderers.They call me Collector but i bet you know it too.So What brings you down here?"Collector said with his robotic voice and mask.
"Same as why you are here.Going inside a dungeon.Now lets cut the crap Collector."Haru said and threw a jab aimed at collector' s chin.
