I woke up to find myself in a vast endless plain of green grass. I was confused at first, before I began to slowly recall the events that had transpired before I went to sleep.
I sluggishly stood to my feet and walked in the direction I remembered myself to have come from. I walked and walked for a time before sitting to rest for awhile. This routine continued for a long time, it became something as though it were normal. It became how I would pass my days. I would walk, eat, walk and sleep. Upon waking up, the cycle would continue again.
My system coins got completely used up numerous times and I had to close my eyes and sell something that could have been of use to me. I did this until the last item remaining in the Storage space was just that Sword of The Nether. I sighed after selling the last item, but there was nothing I could do. I went to the Shop and bought me some food and water.
After eating, I decided to do something different this time around. After all, I was just walking pointlessly in this place. The last item I had sold was worth quite a lot of system currency, seeing as it was the second most precious item I had kept on me. Thus, I entered the Shop again and looked to the Miscellaneous tab, wondering if I could find something there that would help me save my life.
This tab had a lot of things a person would never even think of taking with them anywhere. Conveniently, this tab had a special feature which you could use to search for any specific item you were looking for. All of this had been explained to me by the system the first time I entered this tab.
'System, use the search feature and search for maps.' I knew it was a long shot in the dark, but at this point, I would try anything I could find that could help me out.
Searching for 'maps'.
Search complete.
Displaying results.
I looked at the list of results that was displayed and my heart jumped. This list was just too much. Was there anything this system did not have, I wondered. However, this time, I was thankful that it had this much. I decided to reduce the number of results that were displayed by specifying the kind of maps it should search for, while silently hoping my search would also yield results this time.
'Search for dungeon maps.'
Searching for 'dungeon maps.'
Search complete.
Displaying results.
I took a look at this list, and it was also a lot. I began scrolling through and eventually saw a map that read 'Infinite dungeon map' which intrigued me.
'System, what is this Infinite dungeon map?' I asked.
The Infinite dungeon map is a mythic artifact that can show the map of any dungeon on Earth. All that needs to be done is for the map to be taken into said dungeon, after which it will display a map for that dungeon. If the map is not in any dungeon, it would just be an empty scroll.
'Wow. The system can even have this, huh? This system is truly and absolutely amazing. I've never felt so happy at finding something than I am right now.' I concluded. 'System, what is the price for that Infinite dungeon map?' I questioned the system.
Infinite dungeon map.
Price: 25 Gold System coins.
As I saw this, my heart sank. I should've expected this before even getting overjoyed. Something as good as this would not come at all free. It would be extremely expensive, even. This was because to find such a map that was as convenient as this was like to find a Unicorn by mistake as someone stumbled around.
I sighed as I decided to forget about it for now. As of right tgis moment, I did not even have up to ten silver system coins, hence not a single gold system coins. This shewed just how expensive that map fragment was. Although, perhaps if I sold that Sword of The Nether, I would be able to make enough money to purchase the map.
I pushed this thought out my head the moment it came. If I were to sell that Sword, I would lose the leverage I had on Eron based on our deal, thus giving him reason to kill me or leave me, or perhaps both. Even though Eron did not want the sword, I would still have liked to keep the sword and not sell it. It was pure luck that I had obtained that Sword, and if the luck of an average person throughout his lifetime was added together, they may still not be able to get that Sword. And so, to just give it away like so...
I sighed and continued looking through more dungeon maps. Meanwhile, I made a silent note in my mind to get a way to make more money, and quick, while also making a mental note to remember to purchase that Infinite dungeon map later on.
I had been going through the list for an unknown amout of time before finally, I saw something that shocked me. The Caliagri dungeons map. To think that the system would have maps for specific dungeons. I quickly looked at the price and to my admiration, it was affordable, even though it would almost completely use up the rest of my savings of system currency.
I swiftly bought the map and brought it out of the Storage space. I was about to open it when I realised how foolish I had been. I was currently in a place with no landmarks. There was no way I was going to be able to use a map that way. Unfortunately, I had already bought the map.
I opened the map and expected disappointment, but to my dismay, the scroll shewed me a type of map I had never seen afore, or ever thought of seeing.
As soon as the scroll was opened, a screen like that of the system popped up just above the scroll. This screen had a red dot in the center. I moved the scroll to investigate and the screen moved with it, it seemed this screen was a result of the map.
But what made me the most overjoyed was that this map could track my presence. That is, of course, if that red dot at the center was me. Either way, I now had a map of the Caliagri dungeons. Finding my way should become easier now, no?
