"Sky….ler.." I think I just heard something, "Skyler. Wake up."
Oh I did hear that. When I opened my eyes, I was outside of the dungeon. Leona was by my side, holding my hands. Others looked worried as well.
"Finally you're awake." Leona's eyes filled with tears and relief, "We were worried when you suddenly thrown unconsciously out of the dungeon."
Suddenly I remembered. I was inside the dungeon, dying over an over without a gap of single second. I stood and look for the gates.
"It's not here." I was confused, "Where's the dungeon. Did it explode?"
"Apparently, as soon as you were thrown out of the dungeon, it vanished. As if there was nothing to begin with. We don't know what really happened. But whatever happened, happened for good things. By the way how did you manage to defeat her?"
"I didn't." I was scared even back then, "I couldn't even stand a single second before her."
That's right. I even forgot counting how many time I died back in the dungeon. If it wasn't for my passive skill 'Death Resurrection' who knows what would happen. By the way how many times did I die again?
[Notice: Zeon, Skyler dying count inside the dungeon 5574 times]
Holy shit!!! That many? Thanks to pain nullification I didn't even realized I died. By the way I think the demon was trying to say something.
[Affirmative. Translating 'Primitive Demon' language into human language. Attempt: Success]
[Notice: 'You're not the one I'm looking for. Farewell']
So the primitive demon of apocalypse was finding someone? That's concerning.
"Hay Skyler?" Leona said, "Did you lost into thinking about that girl?"
"Yes. Something about her wasn't right. I can' explain why but as if she was finding something. And what we witness was simply a small essence. The original one maybe far greater than her."
I don't blame Leona to look so surprised and scared. After all, I myself was afraid after a so long time in my life. That demon, I needed to find about more about her.
'But for now let's just take a look how the others are doing.' I thought and looked at them.
Risa was unconscious. Her wounds were completely healed. That Max guy was still asleep taking a chop from me. The rest of the team was worried sick. As if they witnessed a ghost. Well she was far beyond ghost anyway.
"Now then, I think the business here is done." I prepared, " And I don't think there's anything left to do about. I'm heading back now. See you next time."
Saying good bye on their worried faces was kind of rude for me. But I did what seemed right. Top of that it was not that late. I could still join my sister on her shopping.
**************
"Sir, may I come in." A beautiful lady, wearing maid outfit in black and white, opened the door of an office, at the Aether City named as A-1.
"Yes. Come in." the person with white & purple mixed coloured hair gave her the permission, "Is the coffee hot or cold."
"That may depend upon your taste, sir." The maid put the cup of coffee on his desk. She stood next to him, holding the tray.
Drake Slynger, a man with high reputation, belonged to one of the five noble families that served the ruler lineage. He was around age twenty five or so, with impressively handsome looks and high intelligence; Thus often helped his father out to handle the government of the Terra Region.
The person standing next to him was known as Carla. On a contemporary, she was his personal maid. In actual, she was in charge of a small private investigation team under Drake himself.
"So, may I ask about the flavour of the coffee." He took a small sip and looked at the document he was reading, "If it is as usual as you always bring, then perhaps, you may leave now."
"Well of course it'd be as usual, Sir." She stood closing her eyes, "Unless the flavour came from the Stella Guild."
Hearing the name of a guild all of a sudden, his interest got caught up. Leaving the document on the table, he stood with the cup of coffee; went to the huge glass window to take a nice view while having some nice and gentle sips.
"I do not say it is usual. If anything, it is rather interesting. Shall you care to elaborate the matter on the contrary."
"Yes sir. Right on it. While you were unimaginably busy making your presentation and meeting with the higher ups, I did not get the opportunity to report what I just found out. Two days ago, a person signed up at the Stella Guild as D Rank Zeon."
"D rank Zeon, Not an S rank? And here I anticipated it would be sweet flavour to enjoy. What a disappointment."
"It, indeed would be a disappointment, unless that D rank zeon took down the B rank boss monster just in a minute."
His interest grew up drastically. He was well aware that only the zeon from S rank or greater can handle even an A rank boss on their own. But to think a D rank zeon can pull the same string as an S rank, concerned him.
"Is that so?"
"Yes it is. Apparently the person was registered as a gunman and said to have low MP reserve. On battle he used his previously mana infused bullets on the target. And with the mana he had on the meantime, used in detection to find the weak spots of the enemies."
"A cleaver choice indeed. If you have continuous regeneration of money but have a small bag to carry, just buy expensive things only to sell them later for equivalent effects. While you can use the current money to buy food or shelter for your survival."
He smiled as he had the last sip of the coffee. Returning back at his seat. Taking the documents once again, he said.
"So, who is this mysterious person. Could it be whom I think he is."
"We cannot say yet that the person is whom you are thinking." She disappointing at herself said, "The name in the guild is registered as Skyler Wilson. And he's currently living with a woman, slightly older than him, name Anna Wilson."
"Is he married already?" he looked a bit surprised.
"No. Their relation appears to be sibling. Though we did not investigate their history yet. Shall I order them to get all the info?"
"Let us just stay out of their personal life. If he is the person I think of, Someday he will return to me. I have faith in him." He looked slightly emotional, "By the way, how many people know about these stuff."
"None. Even the Landvill family which is associated with the Terra Guild Association does not know anything about it."
"Seems like my plan to infiltrate our people into the guilds finally paid of. It is effortless to manipulate the data whichever we like. Is not it, Carla? And another thing, keeps these matters from Stan until we confirm what really happened that day."
"Yes indeed, Sir." She opened her eyes, "By the way, it is not my place to ask, but do you mind telling me what are you working on recently?"
"Not at all Carla." He smiled softly, "You do know about the class division among the zeons based on how they use their MP."
"Yes sir I do."
Drake started explaining about what he was researching.
Based on MP uses, a zeon decides their class. At the top, it was Elementals. They can convert their MP into elements and release them accordingly. Only four type of Elementals have been identified until the recent time; Fire, Water, Wind and Thunder.
The next one is Slicer. They basically had knowledge of swordsmanship or how to use different blades depending upon the situation or based on range-specific attacks. They are considered powerful just because they, getting support from the Enhancer, the next class, can be a tough opponent to be handled.
There was another thing about a slicer. Though it was recorded only a few times, but some zeon in the past were upgraded from Slicer class to Elemental class with their previously acquired knowledge and strength. Leading them to become famous as 'Elemental Slicer'.
Next class is Enhancer. They use their MP to boost target-specific, whether it's themselves or other, mana distribution; causing the person to see far, hear far, high agility, immense strength and so. Even the healer belong to this category as the can enhance cell regeneration speed.
Lastly Gunman. The people with less MP yet still want to be Zeon for making good amount of money they choose to become one. But most of them are assigned as guards of dungeon gates or backup in a raid.
"These are just ordinary classes. There is another class known as Legendary Class." Drake was serious. Even Carla became stunned. She never heard that there could be another class beside that.
"The name of the Legendary Class is, 'SYSTEMA'."
