Jack looked at himself and couldn't help but be a little worried.
"I really have gotten stronger , but where is the limit to my growth.Will I continue to grow stronger without limit until I become a god like figure?
This kind of power is to addictive."
Thoughts of the far future crossed his mind as they had many times since the Initiation.
What would become of him and the other 'Gamers' like him? What was their purpose for existing, the reason they gained this power?
' Was it to fight someone/something humans can't? Was is just a coincidence or just a really sick game from a omnipotent being who just wanted to know what would happen?
An experiment with the whole human race as the test subjects.
Or was is just a coincidence, a cosmic '
"Everytime I think about it I only have more questions to ask, but who is able to answer them?"
*Sigh*
'I have no answers.
My path ahead is filled with fog on all sides which I can't se past and the only way to lessen this fog is to play the game, get stronger and finally find its purpose.'
Jack threw these questions to the back of his mind and decided to concentrate.
"A dungeon will not be completed by itself.
DUNGEONS."
He opened his dungeons tab and in it beside the 'Slimy Tunnel' there were two more dungeons available.
Haunted Mansion The mansion of a wealthy noble has been plagued by a unrelenting course.
The previous pristine mansion has now turned into the playground of unholy creatures that wait in the shadows for whoever is unfortunate enough to come across them.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Dirty Sewers A place where the filth of the city is collected and one of the worse places for a human to live , but not others.
This place has become the gathering and breeding place of many creatures who now call it home.
"These two were the two new dungeons that appeared in my dungeons tab, but why? What were their conditions for appearing? Is it related to my strength or level?
Maybe something entirely different?"
Jack had been thinking about his next move for the last week. As 'Slimy Tunnel' had become a walk in the park for him except the Boss he needed a new leveling ground and he had two options.
'No way in hell I'm going inside that death trap until I'm 99.999% certain that I will be able to survive.
Getting surrounded by those wendigo's is certain to get me killed right now.'
"So what shall I choose... hmm...hm...
The ' Haunted Mansion' seems to also be a undead type dungeon like the ' Forest of Death ' , but I'm not sure of it's difficulty. On the other hand ' Dirty Sewers ' description is to vague for my liking.
......
The next morning at seven in the morning the usual clear skies and unhindered sunshine were seen.
" Jack are you going out early again today?"
"Yes, I'm going to be late again today.
Okay then, I'm going."
"Jack honey can I ask you something and you have to be completely straight with me.
No lying!"
Jack turned around and looked him grandmother in the eyes.
"What is it, I'm going to get late."
"I know I'm being a little anoying , but I have to ask you....
What do you do everyday that you go out? Where do you go because I'm sure you're not going to town.
So, tell me the truth. Are you doing something illegal? Are taking drugs?"
*Babum Babum*
Jack's heart was beating fast from the first two questions , but after his grandmother finished he left out a sigh of relief inside his head.
' Damn, I thought that she had discovered that I was a gamer and was confronting me.
Glad to know that grandpa is not someone to blabber his mouth , even to someone who he had been married for more than fifty years.
"What are you talking about.
Me doing something illegal...taking drugs?
You know me and know that I would never do something like that."
"I know that and I'm sorry for questioning you , but I had to hear it with my own ears."
"......
Can I go now?"
"Yes, but before I forget...
Your mother is going to visit Ben in the hospital today,so...
"What is it?"
Jack said with an annoyed look on his face .
"She wants to see you and I think you would want to see her."
"Is my hearing alright?
She just wants to see me? What for? What is so important that she couldn't tell me over the phone?"
"No it's....
It's Grace!"
".....did you just say Grace?"
"Please don't be mad? She asked me if she could come to see him and....
"Stop!
If she goes to see him is not my business."
"Jack...
"I'm getting tired of this so I'm heading out right now."
Jack almost running as he went out of the house and out of that conversation.
' Why do I have to hear such news right now? Now my morning is ruined '
As he was far enough from the house Jack speed up and arrived at his training spot.
.....
"I really need to find another place to train my skills."
He looked around the mangled trees, ground and rocks and frowned at the sight.
"Anyway, moving on.
DUNGEONS....
Enter ' Haunted Mansion '."
