Chereads / My Cheater System / Chapter 16 - Gravity

Chapter 16 - Gravity

"Say, if you could choose between being a chicken sized human or a human sized chicken, what would you guys pick?" Kreel turned around to Bob and Drache.

"Well, if I choose the human sized chicken, do I still retain my consciousness?" Drache placed his hand to his chin.

"No, no, if you did then you wouldn't be a chicken, you'd be a human inside a chicken's body." Bob pointed out.

"That is... a good point." Drache was unsure. "I don't know."

"Well, why wouldn't you want to choose the chicken sized human?" Kreel tried to influence the two as he walked backwards inside the ice walled corridors.

"You're already the size of chicken." Drache whispered to Bob.

"And he acts like one." Bob whispered back in a joking manner.

"HEY I MIGHT BE DUMB BUT I CAN HEAR YOU!" Kreel placed both of his hand around his mouth, increasing the volume of his voice. Suddenly, he heard his own voice back at him. He turned around, away from Drache and Bob and found himself in a dungeon. The dungeon was lined with stone bricks, large chunks were missing or jutting out of the wall. The floor was also laid with bricks. However, had a shallow layer of water covering the entire ground. "Where are we?" Kreel lit up a torch, revealing a room with random twists and turns in every direction.

"Seems like a sub tower." Drache crossed his arm. "We better be vigilant." Drache took the torch from Kreel, taking the lead.

"We've been in this bloody floor for nearly 2 hours? We were bound to stumble upon a sub tower." Bob took out a card from his inventory. "[Clairvoyance]" The card in his hand disappeared and the entire dungeon lit up, revealing every little nook and cranny, also revealing the name of the sub tower.

'Medieval Sewers: Easy Difficulty'

"Oh, it's easy." Bob rubbed his hands together, warming them up. "A little chilly, anyone?" Bob looks at Kreel and Drache.

Kreel and Drache looked at Bob with both of their mouths wide open and their chins on the floor. "YOU HAD THAT THE WHOLE TIME?!" Both of them said in unison.

"Woah guys, I told you, you can collect special one time use cards when you search through the floors." Bob recalled back to the first floor. He had been completely cut from the rest of the party, forcing him to beat the first floor all by himself. Instead of running through the field and dying instantly, he took the smart option and walked around the exterior of the field, dodging and dashing out of the way of the sunflowers. While walking on the edge, he accidentally bumped into the fake wall that had been painted to imitate the sky. He took a turn and started trailing the edge of the wall, stumbling upon a chest that was imitating gold particles.

"Could it be a mimic? There's no way they would place such an obvious chest in the middle of the first floor." Bob slowly approached the chest, placing his hand on the lock of the chest.

'Epic Rarity Chest'

Bob opened the chest and inside of it was 2 daggers, 4 health potion, 1 mana potion and a card.

'[Clairvoyance]'

"You could've at least told us." Kreel interrupted Bob.

"Well, a magician shouldn't reveal their tricks." Bob took the torch from Drache. "Come on." He gestured them to follow him.

Kreel and Drache looked at each other. They shrugged their shoulders and followed after Bob.

"You know, I've cleared a dungeon before." Bob came to the end of the room, in front of them were 2 pipes that both lead to darkness. "And I learnt, don't think too much, as long as you can survive in the moment, you're doing well." Bob threw the torch into the pipe. It seemingly defied gravity as the torch flew sideways, as if gravity was pointing in the wrong direction. "Or, you know, sheer dumb luck." Bob turned towards Kreel and Drache, smirking.

Drache picked up a small pebble from the ground, covered in moss and algae due to the water. "Lets hope this one doesn't have any gravity antics." He threw the pebble and at first, it seemed as if nothing weird happened to the pebble. However, as soon as the pebble entered the pipe, it flew upwards and dented the top of the pipe. It seems like in this pipe, gravity was pointing in the opposite direction.

"Well, pick your poison." Bob crossed his arms. "We've got, giant gaping hole that goes down to hell and seemingly the void, or gravity strong enough to crush you into a pancake and make you fly."

"If idiots could fly, this place would be an airport." Drache walked towards the first pipe, the one where Bob had thrown the torch into. Instantly. as soon as Drache entered the pipe, he could feel the gravity shifting. Within a second, he looked back at Bob and Kreel, who were seemingly standing sideways. "Hey, you guys are standing wei-" Drache could feel a pit developing in his stomach. "Uh o-" Drache screamed like a girl as he fell face downwards, the sides of the pipe were slightly too big for Drache to hold and slow his fall down.

"Look on the bright side, the only way up from rock bottom is up." Kreel's voice was periodically broken up from the screams of Drache.

BANG!

"I'm... kind of okay guys..." Drache shouted through the pipes. "I think I broke my leg..." His voice echoed through the pipe.

"He's a big guy, he'll be fine." Bob joked.

"Well, I guess we have no other choice. It's either we go down and break both our legs or crawl through a pipe." Kreel walked towards the second pipe, He stepped into the pipe, immediately, his vision flipped and Kreel saw Bob upsidedown.

"Quick!" Bob jumped into the pipe, catching Kreel and landing on the top part of the pipe. By Bob jumping and grabbing Kreel, he was able to soften the impact and made sure that Bob landed on Kreel.

"You're welcome..." Kreel raised a thumbs up as his face was dented into the steel pipe.

"My bad, I needed some sort of cushion." Bob stood up and looked out of the pipe, the entire dungeon had completely flipped. The water was now on the ceiling and the ceiling had turned into the floor.

"Guess we can't go anywhere else." Kreel pulled his face out of the steel, standing up.

"The [Clairvoyance] skill should allow me to periodically check the lay out of the map." Bob summoned a map.

'Local Map: 30 Minute Cooldown'

Bob placed the map close to his face. "Huh?"

Kreel walked towards Bob. "What's wrong?"

"It's just..." Bob turned the map towards Kreel. "It doesn't make sense." The map was completely riddled with holes and pipes went from one end of the map to the other. Large rooms were inbetween the pipes, several pipes connecting to it. In the center was a giant treasure room. However, there were no pipes leading towards it, just a giant gaping hole in the middle of the room.
