**********
far in the eastern corner near the Glorious Lycan empire region there is a wilderness near a small village.
Arcania forest.. a wilderness full of low-level monsters such as golbins, slimes, and insect monsters that are suitable for training for beginners
"Rustle..rustle..
the sound of the grass was heard indicating that some people were starting to pass through the place
'at what time did we manage to arrive?
Akira asked that while leading Karina
'be patient..soon we will reach a dungeon that no one has ever found and in it there are many treasures and you should thank me for taking you!
Karina said that with a cynical smiling expression
'is that so? and how do you know that?
'Well...
Karina remembers in her previous life that someone once found this dungeon and managed to become one of the wealthy businessmen in the empire but unfortunately that person will not have the same fate as in her previous life.. Karina made an expression of apology to that person for feeling sorry while lifting his hands as if praying.
'what are you doing?
'ouh..ah!
Akira asked that with a confused expression while Karina who realized that started to make a serious expression
'don't ask any questions, if you want to ask, you better not follow me
'Alright...
Tap..tap..
'goblins!
'Chick! Chick!
after walking for some time they both faced several goblins carrying spears as they started to attack them
'just protect me.. i will cast fire magic on them because goblins are low level monsters that are weak with fire.
'Alright...
'Fireball!
'Chick!..Chick!!!
'Hup!
slash!
'Chick!...
Karina unleashed some fireball magic behind the bushes which set the goblins on fire and Akira who saw that immediately cut down the dying goblins
Rustle..
'here it is...
Karina walked a few steps and pointed towards a river with a waterfall
'but.. I don't see a dungeon anywhere..
'Behind the waterfall there is a dungeon!
'is that so? then let's go in..
'no.. now is not the time.. because night will come so we have to spend the night in this river.
'Sigh..Alright
Akira saw the orange sky which indicated that the night was coming soon after that he just let out a long breath which indicated that he agreed..
********
that night Akira was seen setting up a bonfire to cook the fish that had just been caught last evening while Karina was casting low-level wall magic to protect them in the forest from the threat of monsters
'I've already cast the spell..so we can relax for now..
'here..
Akira gave him a grilled fish that he had just grilled while Karina just stared at the fish for a few seconds before starting to eat it
'nyamm....
they both ate without saying a word and fell asleep soon after.
*********
at midnight..
'Snore..
Akira's sleepy voice was heard there while Karina just opened her sparkling green eyes with a serious expression
Karina said in her mind..
'Is this person a good person or not.. I saw that his food was not poisoned using my skills.. usually people will try to seize the opportunity to kill their own friends so that they can take a high profit.. I deliberately said that so that he would reveal his true nature and then I able to kill him when he intended to kill me..
'but.. what the hell..this person even slept casually without intending to touch me..
not trusting strangers is normal for Karina who lives as a beggar.. strangers will try to extort profit when they are shown..
that was Karina's previous life which was very difficult.. but all that changed when a hero from another world took her because she could see the high potential in her as a great magician
while Karina was remembering her past, she suddenly heard someone's voice that seemed to be desperate
'Zuri...Zuri...
Karina woke up to find who was talking.. but she was surprised when she could see the expression of the man sleeping next to her as if he was very scared as he said the name while he still closed his eyes
'feeling absorber.
then Karina recited a calming spell to calm the sleeping Akira
at that time Akira calmed down again and his face began to be illuminated by the moon
his handsome face illuminated by the moon at night and his expressionless face while sleeping became the focus of Karina whose face seemed to be painted with dark history
'he.. looks handsome under the moonlight.. but what is behind this unreadable expression?
Karina started touching Akira's face gently with a soft look.. but for a moment she realized what she was doing and pulled her hand while making a blushing expression
'what i just did..
Karina patted her forehead in embarrassment
'well.. I will definitely find out tomorrow
Karina stood in the moonlight while making a serious expression with her green eyes glistening behind the darkness of the night
***********
that morning.. they started washing their faces in turn.. and showering in turn.. Karina bathed first and was guarded by Akira from the monster threat
Splash...
Karina washed her slim body with big breasts at that time... Karina looked around for fear of being peeked on by Akira whom she still suspected but it looks like Akira didn't come to peek at all..
********
Karina got up and covered her body with a towel.. then approached a big rock.. where Akira was sitting awake but when she approached carefully.. Karina could see Akira sitting with his head down because he fell asleep
'this guy is not peeking.. that's great.. i have to wake him up..
Slap..
'hey wake up..
'uh.. ouh it's my turn right? alright..
even though in front of him was a beautiful half-naked woman.. Akira didn't panic at all or look lustful in fact he just served her like it was normal
This made Karina interested in Akira's dark history behind last night's incident
*********
not long after they both began to enter the dungeon
tap..tap..
they went through a long hallway but suddenly
Click, whoosh!
'watch out!
'A-ah!
thump!
Karina stepped on a trap that caused an arrow to slide fast towards Karina's chest but she was lucky when Akira reflexively hugged Karina which caused them to fall
'sorry about that..
' it's okay..
Karina who was on top of Akira's body said that while raising her body while Akira just wiped her body full of dust calmly
'I didn't know if this dungeon had traps..sorry..
'Dont be sorry.. be better..
'hahaha..
Karina laughed as she scratched her head in an awkward mood
never crossed in her mind that the person she was most wary of was the one who saved her life when she was in danger.. which made her feel guilty
*********
ha!
slash!
kreack!!!
'fireball!
'kuorargh!
after killing the low level monster in the dungeon Karina gave a friendly smile to Akira while Akira just put on a serious face.. they both looked at each other for a few seconds then headed to a giant door with a skull symbol
'this is the door to the treasure.. finally.. my suffering will end...
Karina said that with a relieved smile
'Lets go in...
'right..
Karina pushed the door to open it with a happy expression but soon her face turned pale while Akira was sweating
what they saw was a lot of gold and precious relics that marked their happiness.. but what made them pale was not the wealth.. but the creature sitting on a big golden chair..
'That...minotaur...
'What the hell...
minotaur.. a monster with a human body but a buffalo head while holding a giant axe with a fierce breath sitting on that chair with a scary look
,Tap...tap..
soon the minotaur began to rise from his chair and slowly walked towards the two of them creating a strong tremor as he walked
Tap!Tap! Whoosh!
'Karina!
Boooom!
The minotaur started to run and jump towards the two of them but Akira reflexively hugged Karina who was still shaking because of fear and took her to avoid the attack...Akira landed on the nearest floor while carrying Karina on his embrace who was still scared and placed Karina on his back while raising his sword to protect her
Hup!
'Stay at my back!
The minotaur turned towards Akira and roared fiercely at the two of them
Roooooaaaarrrr!
Tap! Tap...
Slash!
Akira started to advance by running towards the Minotaur to fight him at that moment..
