"Awakened #04007782"
"State your business."
"Monster Hunting."
"Please wait a moment."
I looked at the place called "Gate", it is a place where all cities had been connected into a single teleporter.
This also acts as the transporter to the dungeons, after all walking for over a hundreds of miles isn't that easy and it's also counterproductive.
With this place built and ready to go, the awakened had been going all over the place, I guess it's thanks to the alchemists that the cities that were once wrecked by monsters running amok, is now able to live thrive for the future.
This transport gates are not only for awakened use but for civilians as well, though it is too pricey.
My previliges currently are 10% Discount per gate use, and free coffee.
Seriously, F Rank awakened's standing are on the bottom of the food chain.
Even though it is only a single rank above, E rankers have better previliges than we do.
"Awakened #04007782, you are June Carell, is this correct?"
"Yes."
"You took 2 requests for subjugation."
"That's right."
The person in charge sighs, and started inputting something in the terminal.
"You have been cleared to use the transport gate, the payment has been collected. Good Luck."
He looked like he wanted to say something but simply refrained from saying anything and let me through.
"Thanks."
I was curious about what he's going to say but, I guess I'll just ask once I get back.

----------------------------------------
You have entered a dungeon
Using the gate, I was trasported to the dungeon available to my rank.
From the Manila Gate, I travelled to the Cavite Gate, which would take about two-three hours.
I could travel overseas but, the amount would be too much and besides there are low to mid-tier dungeons located in the philippines... maybe more.
The fee was about $800, roughly converting it would be about 43,600 pesos, even with the 10% discount, it would only be 39,240. Normally, awakened don't use the gate unless it is truly necessary.
Since I can't be away from home for even a day or two, I decided to use it for faster travel.
Anyway, right now I am in the Gramada Dungeon located at Dasmariñas.
The species in here merely consists of slimes, at least that's what the current information entails.
"There are a lot of people here, huh?"
As I headed into the dungeon, I showed my identification to the guard stationed by the dungeons entrance and I was able to get in easily. A number of people could be seen going in and out of the dungeon, it seems to be quite popular with the newly awakened ones.
Slimes jumping up and down without worry was easily cut in half by one of the awakened and smiled widely at the sight of it, the slime's body disperses and leaves something on the ground, a beautiful Black-colored rock about 2cm big.
This Black-colored rock is a magic stone of the lowest quality.
The use of it is still being researched but one of its current uses are that they can be used as a substitute for energy such as electricity.
Oil Refineries, Power Plants and the like had become obsolete because of this, I mean this low-quality magic stones are being amassed by awakened people everyday en masse and bought by the HQ at a daily basis.
Anyway, you get the idea.
I unsheated the sword with ease and the sword's ability activates.
[Divine Spirit Possession]
Contrary to the Ability's name, it doesn't actually possess the person but only gives the person the Spirit's skills and experience.
The little fear that I had in my heart disappeared and my grip on the sword's handle tightened.
With a calm beating of my heart, my hastened steps became loud and audible.
The smile in my face began to widened.
I have no idea on what spirit possessed me, only the experience it had wielding the sword, the happiness of swinging it, and the thought of fighting.
A nameless master.
Slimes were easily cut with each swing, the black stones immediately enters the pouch that I had in my belt.
[Rarity: Common|Magnet Pouch|Enchantment: Item Magnet, Storage (20 Ton)(Max: 2)]
It was the first time I saw something that cannot be enhanced, maybe its because it doesn't act as an equipment.
Anyway, these pouch takes in the items the monster I killed dropped.
It was like a vacuum.
I rushed the first-fifth floor of the dungeon, as my body became fatigued, I was finally able to put the sword into its sheathe.
As I did so, the power I had with me dispersed and a heavy feeling overcame my body.
"Haa... Haa..."
I-I think I can't use this for longer than 30 minutes... If I change my gear and used something that rejuvinates stamina then maybe I could indefinitely do it.
"But if that were to happen, I'll be controlled by the sword."
Haha, won't possess me my ass... I was mowing monsters left and right!
A-anyway, that was really dangerous...
《That was a good fight!》
"Eh?"
A voice suddenly rang in my head.
