Chereads / Dream Tower / Chapter 21 - Chapter 20

Chapter 21 - Chapter 20

- Ding!

- For those dreamers who had killed monsters in this world will receive new information about this game in 5 minutes!

Hearing the announcement Eleri's chest heaved up and down from tiredness from the fight as her surroundings were filled with dead giant man-eating plants

Wiping off the blood on the corner of her lips she smirked as she said "Looks like my fight was worth it"

Taking a deep breath she leaned on a wall as she closed her eyes, she did not expect that the fight would be much more tiring than she thought

- Ding!

[Tip 1: Dreamers should be in a group of 9 people to trigger a hidden game! (Hidden Game is where you can get the crystal pieces)]

[Tip 2: Hidden game are random and there are only 12 present one for each piece of the crystal]

[Tip 3: The hidden game will be triggered randomly]

[Tip 4: Once paired up with another dreamer the dreamers are able to trigger a mini dungeon where clues existed in ( Any number of individual that is higher than 1 can trigger the mini dungeon)]

Hearing this Eleri widened her eyes as she said "Seriously? I have to team up again with strangers?"

Sighing she said "Well, it can't be helped"

Looking down at the book in her hand she thought 'How could I imprint the ability information in this book?'

Draven: [By putting the name of the owner of the ability user in the book can you imprint it]

Crunch

Suddenly she heard something crunching and she turned her head vigilantly as she raised her sword with the other hand

"Woah woah easy there tiger I have no bad intention"

From the shadows a boy about 14 years old appeared as he had a chestnut hair, greyosh black eyes, white skin, wearing a blue jacket and white uniform he looked simple and ordinary but this made people feel something amiss from him

Eleri did not relax her vigilance but instead raised her momentum as she asked "Who are you?"

Holding an apple in his hand the boy pointed at himself as he said "I'm Kaylus Lawless nice to meet you"

Hearing this Eleri narrowed her eyes as she said "So you're a troublemaker?"

Kaylus smiled and his eyes bent as he asked "Oh? How do you say so?"

Eleri straightened up as she said "Your name Kaylus means troublemaker"

Kaylus widened his eyes and his smile widened as he asked "How did you know?"

Seeing his eyes full of expectations Eleri shrugged as she said "Just a hobby, I like collecting informations about names for my characters in my novel"

Kaylus nodded and said "So you're a writer?"

Eleri lowered her sword as she said "A former detective"

Kaylus let out an "Oh" sound as he nodded

Eleri then got to the point as she asked "What do you want?"

Taking a bite in his apple Kaylus chewed on it as he said "You heard the announcement right? I need a teammate to trigger the mini dungeon and hidden game so I thought we should pair up?"

Eleri narrowed her eyes as she asked "Why me though?"

The boy hummed as he said "Nothing specifically you were just the first person I found"

Eleri did not believe what he said but she thought 'I would really need a teammate, what's more for a 24 year old kid to be able to survive until this game--'

'--He's not ordinary'

'This might be a high risk high reward play but--'

'--Fuck it!'

Eleri placed her sword on her waist as she said "L"

Kaylus blinked as he said "What?"

"L, you can call me L"

"Oh that's not fair I introduced my whole name to you" Kaylus pouted

Eleri just shrugged before she remembered something and thought 'Let's try it'

Eleri gave the book to Kaylus and Kaylus asked "What is this?"

Eleri said a straight up lie "It's a comfirmation that we are teammates now"

"Ah I see" Kaylus nodded and asked "Do you have a pen?"

Eleri shook her head as she said "You can write down your name using your mere finger"

Kaylus was shocked and had some doubts but still followed obediently and wrote down his name

After giving it back to Eleri they shook hands as they said "Well then good luch to us, teammate"

*****

Eleri and Kaylus rested in an abandoned building as they rested on the third floor

Kaylus walked towards Eleri as he asked "Aren't you gonna buy a healing potion?"

Eleri laughed as she shook her head and said "I'm broke"

Kaylus was shocked and immediately bought a healing potion from his system mall and gave it to Eleri

Eleri wanted to refuse but seeing Kaylus stubborn appearance she had to accept it and used it

Kaylus then walked away saying "I'll go searching for more people"

Eleri agreed and stayed behind as she opened the book

Just as Draven said the information of Kaylus appeared in the book

[Name: Kaylus Lawless]

[Age: 14]

[Title: Devil]

[Rank: SSS]

[Ability: (Locked)]

[Description: (Locked)]

[Requirements: (Locked)]

[Gift: (Locked)]

[Attributes: Affinity: 21; Intelligence: 89/100; Vitality: 100/100; Strength: 50/ 100; Luck: 67/100]

Reading this Eleri was confused and asked in her head 'Why does it said locked?'

Draven: [It's because you haven't figured out what his ability is yet]

"Hmm" Eleri nodded but sighed in her heart 'This is troublesome… what's more--'

Looking at the rank she thought '--I never thought that brat would be an SSS rank player'

Just as she got up her surroundings suddenly changed and turned into a giant empty blue room

On her side was Kaylus who looked fascinated by the changes and said innocently to Eleri "I might have accidentally triggered a mini dungeon"

Eleri sneered as she said "No shit sherlock"

Now the question is--

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Opposite to them stood a giant black three headed dog with ruby red eyes that reflected them as it bared it's deadly fangs

This is--

--Cerberus.
