"Now… where should I hit up for dinner?"
My decision didn't take too long as the closest five-star restaurant was just across the street, and it wasn't the biggest and grandest or even the most expensive, but it was cozy, and the atmosphere, mixed with the food, was amazing.
I had been there a couple of times, and it really did deserve every signal star that it earned, down to the last minuscule edge.
"Just a table for one person, please," I muttered, and since everybody else in line had like five people with them, I got to skip pretty much everybody and make my way to the corner of the restaurant where I had a tiny booth all to myself.
It didn't take long for a waiter to come out, and when he did, I immediately told him the item that I had chosen from the online menu.
"It will be out in about half an hour. Please relax with this complimentary wine," He muttered before pouring me a glass of shiny velvet liquid.
I smelled the tip of the glass and then the wine itself to make sure it wasn't poisoned, and upon noticing how none of it was spiked, I took a sip.
It was dry but tasted quite good.
"*sigh*... How depressing is this?" I lightly smiled to myself until the other side of the booth was filled with another person.
As I slowly looked up, I saw a pale white woman with short white hair and flat-hazel eyes staring down at me.
"What do you want? Have you come to make fun of me?" I asked, slowly sitting up and swirling the wine in the beautiful crystal glass I had been given.
The woman in front of me bit down on her lip, staring down at the table and not even taking a glance at me, displaying an overwhelming amount of guilt.
"Tch… if you're going to ruin my mood, then get out of here," I muttered coldly but only then did she open her mouth.
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me,"
"... Can you shut up about all of this forgiveness? You won't be earning my forgiveness… you completely ruined me and almost made me k-"
I paused myself before the alcohol let my lips slip any further.
"I... I swear I've changed. If there is any way I can prove to you that I've become a better person, I'll do it… please, just give me a chance to redeem myself,"
"And why do you want to be forgiven? You clearly didn't give a shit about me back then, so why would I think you still care about me now… are you faking everything again? Huh? Come on… why are you so silent all of a sudden?" I muttered, my expression slowly shifting into a disgusted one as I could barely stand the sight of this woman.
"It's not fair that I have to deal with all of this guilt, and you won't even give me a chance… when I've tried so hard to change…."
"Do you think I give a shit about how you're feeling?" I asked.
My eyes widened to the point that the woman in front of me could basically stare into my soul.
As I placed my hands on the table and held myself up to look down on the woman sitting across from me, she shifted her eyes downwards once again.
"Do you really think I give a shit about how you feel? Your guilt? Your guilt?!" I shouted, slamming my hands onto the table, and since my mood was ruined, I clicked my tongue before taking my exit.
I was so done with this woman… she said I was being selfish but never considered how I felt… I doubt she even knows what happened after we broke up.
"For fucks sake," I muttered through gritted teeth.
…
The next day, to clear up my mind of the past events yesterday, I went back into the dungeon with more supplies than before.
Now, not only could I sleep in the dungeon if I wanted to, but I could also survive with all of my stockpiled food and water.
So, as I entered the dungeon with the massive backpack slung over my back, I warmed my senses up a bit.
Pinpointing each and every single bone with my eyes closed was more than enough for a warm-up just before I was about to enter the main cavern.
I felt their curves and small cracks mixed with the musty air that slowly began to gather around me the further I stepped into the dungeon.
.
[You have entered The Dungeon: Tomb of The Fallen Soldiers]
[Recommended Level: 15]
.
The notification that told me I had fully entered the dungeon slightly blinded me as soon as I stepped into the massive cavern.
I took in a long and deep breath before facing the first skeleton just before me, its hollow eye sockets staring straight at me.
My twin daggers, sharp enough to cut even bone, sparkled in my hands, contrasting perfectly against the leathery-gray light armor I had bought that was more for archers than any other class.
Though, it was protective enough to stop even a normal sword slash made by a C-rank adventurer, meaning I wasn't going to be dying by any skeleton any time soon.
FWOOSH
As I basically flew through the crowd of skeletons, slicing their heads into pieces to kill them instantly, I made sure to keep an eye out for another hidden boss.
I wanted to actually keep some of this good armor, and having it get burned as soon as I bought it would be quite the predicament.
"Alright… let's actually clear this dungeon," I muttered.
