If it was an ordinary person, landing that job would have been impossible, as being a teacher was a very well-respected and stable high-paying job in this world. The only other ways to earn that much were either being a mercenary and risking their life every day or becoming a merchant in the hope of becoming rich someday.
"Aur, you can come in now," Emma said as she slightly opened the door.
He just nodded his head and entered the room.
"Have you decided, then?"
"Yes, we will take the deal but…."
"But what?"
"The task shouldn't guarantee our death, and you can't give us a task like killing ourselves."
"Sure," Aur simply stated as he thought, "these twins are both stupid." He could already guess that much when he was doing a mission with them, but they were stupider than Aur had even guessed.
The two twins were confused, but they still nodded their heads. They didn't expect Aur to agree to them so quickly.
"Alright, so we will meet in a week, yes?"
The two nodded their heads while Aur frowned.
"It will be better if we go in three days instead."
"Well, we thought about it, but the preparation to do that, and the dungeon will become even stronger by that time, and there is no guarantee people will not find it till then," Aur stated with a contemplative expression.
"But without a week, the preparation will not be enough." Chloe frowned, knowing about the problem, but they were helpless. After all, they were risking their lives going to a dungeon. How could they take chances with their lives?
"Don't worry, I will solve the problem. You guys just have to watch my back. It will be in three days," Aur said as he left the room, leaving the twins stunned.
"Do we really only get three days for preparation?" Emma said with a frown. Aur, although strong, wasn't powerful enough to solo a dungeon, even a newly formed one from the strength he had shown till now.
"Hmm, what could it be? Think, Chloe, think." Chloe had a contemplative expression as she processed everything. Finally, she could only think of one possibility. "He might be hiding his strength. Maybe that is the reason he is so confident." These were the only possibilities she could come up with as to why he was rushing to the dungeon.
….
Aur sat cross-legged on his bed, staring at the system status in front of him with a frown on his face.

"Let's see now." Aur took a deep breath as he imagined pressing the Future Seer talent.
Talent: Future Seer (use: 0)
Aur's vision dimmed, and his eyes slowly shut off. The entire resistance of his consciousness seemed to have been breached as he couldn't form any resistance.
His body fell to the floor with his eyes closed.
A burning fire lit up the village as blood flowed, accompanied by the occasional roaring of beasts and animals.
"Help."
"Ahhh…"
The cries of countless children and elders rang in the surroundings as they died one by one.
Before long, a dead silence enveloped the area, shrouded in the aura of death.
Hundreds of beasts finally revealed themselves, displaying their ferocious two canine teeth and four paws.
Awooo!
The wolves were all at least ten feet long, roughly 308 centimetres, towering in size with their furry blue coats as they howled towards the full moon in the sky.
With the wolves' howls, a gigantic wolf appeared in the sky, at least two times larger than the average blue-coated wolves. Its fur had a strange mix of white and blue, resembling zebra stripes, and its eyes glinted with a ferocious light. It, too, howled towards the moon.
Suddenly, a man's cry resounded in the surroundings amidst the howling of countless wolves. A golden-haired youth cried out in pain while holding the corpse of a pink-haired girl.
This attracted the attention of all the wolves, making them turn their ruthless eyes toward the man as if piercing deep into his soul.
However, the youth was uncaring as he poured his heart out, and eventually, he fell silent. His once-blue eyes turned black, revealing William, who appeared to have matured, with a slight beard grown on his chin.
"Oh, darkness, I praise you. If there is a god like these heartless beings, then I will kill that god..." The black eyes of William reflected a strange pattern as countless portals opened, revealing skeletons clad in armour and wielding sabers. They covered the area, outnumbering the wolves by at least ten times.
Grr!
The wolves backed down when they saw the skeletons, their eyes showing weariness as they were slowly pushed back bit by bit.
Roar!
The blue and white wolf in the air, which seemed to be the leader of the pack, flashed its eyes as if thinking. Then, it howled, gathering all the courage of the wolves in the pack.
They also howled in unison, directly attacking the skeletons in their vision.
Aur watched all of this with cold and expressionless eyes, as if observing the fight from a third-person point of view. He witnessed the raging battle and the burning village in front of his eyes.
"Hmm, where am I?" Aur thought, a frown on his face.
With a mere thought, his vision changed to that of a muscular man whose heart was missing. Besides him lay three corpses just like his, with their bodies ripped by claw marks and their hearts missing, one was a little girl and other two were a male and female however there face was not clear.
"Is that me?" Aur was shaken to the core as he looked at the four corpses as his eyes narrowed to a slit.
However, before he could examine the corpses properly, his vision suddenly changed back to the ceiling of his room.
"This..." He touched his eyes, feeling the moist tears that dampened his fingertips.
"Am I crying?" Aur thought with shock.
