When nightfalls, Alter finally agreed to release me and let me return to my room.
He was disappointed at first but had no choice but to let me go due to night time.
Although I'm so gald to be able to leave that room, I'm still thankful to him because I granted a bit more knowledge which might help me raise a bit of my confidence in the upcoming exam.
I parted ways with the 3 after saying our goodbyes and wishing each other the best on the examination.
But why so soon, the exam will be held a month after the annual event which will be happening about 3 months later. They're pushing themselves way too hard, but I can't blame them for it, we can have a better future if commoners ever graduate from here.
After 5 minutes walk, I opened my door entrance and shutted it after entering.
Switching on the fluorescent light to get a better view inside my room, I placed my bag in my bedroom and started sweeping my bedroom to get benefits. I also sweeped the guest room but didn't clean the toilet since I'm too lazy. After I'm done, I went to take a quick bath, wear just an underwear and off the fluorescent light in the guest room before laying on the mattress in my bedroom.
I turned on the table fan make the bedroom cooling. Even though cars and cellphones don't exist here, electronics like oven and refrigerator existed. Although the buildings of all houses and shops looked the same like moden houses, I can't bring myself to make me feel like its moden time type since the houses felt smaller compare to my previous world. Besides, sometimes sellers set up their shop using canopy rather than owning a building.
This world is like a combination of olden times and modern times.
It's already late, I can't go to the dungeon anymore, a guard is guarding there, so if I go there now, the guard would just tell me to go back to sleep and come back tomorrow morning.
School starts not that early, I can go there at dawn. Yeah, let's do that.
I opened my Status and checked my stats.
Strength is at 5, I would have been mad if my Health wasn't just 80, just need to punch 16 times to kill myself.
My level is at 8, I need another 240 more experience to level up, I wonder how much coins and experience the monsters in the dungeon would yield?
Too bad there's no kitchen here, if I want to wash dishes to earn benefits I need to join the cooking club. Yeah let's do just that when the cooking club started to recruit students to join them.
I don't have any magic I can use right now, and I can't learn them through hard work. If I want to use magic I need to buy scrolls from the Shop.
The Shop only provides Magic Scrolls and Weapons, no armors nor any erotic items. There's nothing in my Inventory currently, but I will buy some soon enough.
Alright, time to sleep at wake up early. Setting the alarm clock to 4 am, I hit the hay.
********************
Sound of the alarm clock resonating loudly could been heard.
I slowly rose up from my mattress and press the alarm clock to silent it.
Doing a bit of stretching here and there, I wore my house clothes.
I put all my dirty clothes in a basket and leave it outside the front door, because appearantly maids will collect it for washing.
I walked towards where the dungeon is located, on my way there, I decided to head to the arsenal shop.
The school actually set up an arsenal shop in the schoolground, aren't they scared of retaliation? Especially the principal after what he said.
Welp, this world is a magic world after all, he probably have an invisible barrier skill or something.
Upon arriving at the arsenal shop, I went in to search for suitable weapon and armor for myself.
- Student, I'm antonished to see someone getting up so early in the morning on the first few days after school starts. (Shopkeeper)
- Is it rare to see someone like me getting up this early?
- I have seen students like you getting up this early before but not on the first month of the school. Are you perhaps preparing to head towards the dungeon? Be careful there. (Shopkeeper)
The shopkeeper thought that way because in middle school, we were not taught how to fight yet.
But if I'm not mistaken, a month before the school starts, we can find an instructor to guide us on how to use a weapon and fight with it to get a head start from the rest. We can also hired an instructor that teaches magic too.
- Well, I need money.
To rape.
- It's better for the teacher to teach you first, but since the first floor is only filled with weaklings, I'm sure you can handle it.
- Oh, thanks for the info.
- Also, do you need my help to look for a weapon and armor for you, student? (Shopkeeper)
- No, it's fine, I want this dagger and this pair of boots.
- Cost you 55 gold.
I paid the shopkeeper and left the shop. When I arrived to the dungeon, a guard was there yawning, but he saw me, he became alerted.
- Be careful, boy. Don't go below the first floor, you don't seem like you're trained.
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
- Yeah, thanks.
If the guard also said that the first floor is easy, then I'm in luck.
I entered the dungeon, but the moment I entered, just like a year ago, memory that I don't remember having suddenly appeared.
I freezed my footstep to think about the memory appearing in my mind.
- What's wrong, boy? Having seconds thought?
- Eh? No, just trying to relax myself to release stress.
- Heh, I was right you aren't trained. Good luck and be cautious of your surroundings.
- Thanks for the help.
Well all of that was happening, a screen appeared infront my me.
Dungeon Awareness is at 0%
Seems like starting from now on, if I don't kill the monsters in the dungeon regularly, the awareness of the dungeon will rise. If it rose up to over 90%, monsters will start walking out from the dungeon, cuaing mayhem. At 100% mark, monsters will continously come out from the dungeon for one whole hour, the amount it will be was not said. It also stated this event will only stop if I left the school.
- Are you kidding me? Well, whatever. I'm planning to come here often to get coins.
Alright, time to find me some coins to fuck!
Around 10 minutes, I had been aimlessly wandering around the dungeon on the first floor but couldn't find a single monster.
It took me about an hour to get up from the mattress, clear the laundry, walk towards the arsenal shop, search for things to buy, walk to the dungeon and some other not important stuff also happened.
School will begin at 9, breakfast will be ready at 7, now is already over 5 am. I have another 2 to 3 hours left to be here.
After searching for another 10 minutes, I became disappointed with my search for a monster.
My legs are already tired from all this walking, just why can't I find anything?
This floor is spacious but empty because but not a single monster could be seen.
Let's just head back and rest for a bit. I went back to the entrance, the entrance is a safe place for us to be in because apparently no monsters dare to come here.
Let's just take a nap, I slept on the ground of the safe room, hopefully no one comes in when I'm asleep.
********************
Shit, how long was I asleep for?
Conveniently, an old grandfather clock is in the safe room. The bell would ring 8 times each one hour. I went to check the time and it was 7. Just how did I miss the 6 am bell rang?
Couldn't care less, I went dungeon hunting.
I search continuously, hoping I can atleast see what monster would appear on this floor. I kept searching but ended up defeated.
After 40 minutes of tirelessly searching for just a single monster in this huge floor, I finally found it.
A slime.
......
It was moving slowly with its ball-like body made of liquid.
......
I used my skill.
......
Just Health, Strength and how much experience and coins it will yield were displayed.
......
5 and 5
......
Even the benefits were just twice the amount of it's Health and Strength.
10
......
I searched, continuously search without giving up, wasting about an hour to search...
And the result I got was a slime with 10 benefit each.
......
FOR FUCK SAKE.
You're saying all my motivation and determination to obtain coins amount to just this much?! Luck is totally not with me.
While I was filled with anger and frutrastion, the slime moved faster than when it was moving slowly to the opposite direction before.
Huh? You want to die that badly? I shall grant your wish then.
Planning to release all my anger onto the slime, I prepared to strike it.
While I was taking out my dagger from my sheath, I noticed that after the slime stopped moving, it compressed itself.
After 1 or 2 second, it bounced onto me and the impact launched my body backwards, about 4 to 5 meter away from my initial standing spot.
I started coughing badly and the saliva was flowing out of my mouth.
The...the hell? It hurts, it hurts like hell.
Even though I can't see how much Health I have left, I can tell its been reduced to 70. For some reason, I can know about it like it became a part of my body. Not because I knew about it after seeing how much damage the slime would deal, its like I can know about this information even without knowing how much the slime would deal to me beforehand.
When I struggled to get up and finally managed to do so, my back was slammed with an painful attack.
My body rolled on the ground several times, I started coughing again and I lost another 15 Health.
10 damage from when I hit the ground, and 15 from the slime, one of the attack dealt critical damage.
This time, I can see the slime when I was on the ground.
The slime was moving towards me in a rapid speed like a getaway car fleeing from the police car. Even if it is faceless and had can't show any expression, it felt extremey intimidating that I started hyperventilating.
Fuck, is this fear? It has to be.
I muster up all the strength I have to stand up, my knees were shaking, but I still hold onto the dagger with both of my hands, aiming it towards the slime.
Fuck, fuck! It's just slime, a fucking slime, why am I defeated by such a creature!
I ready my dagger, but I was just pointing it at the slime with a blank mind, I didn't thought about striking it, just blankly pointing the slime with the dagger while hyperventilating.
The slime compressed itself once more, when that happened, my knees started shivering even worse.
Damn, damn, damn, damn.
My hand started shivering as well, sweats were pouring down from my head up the way down to my chin. My spine felt painful, my torso is screaming.
Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!
After it done compressing, it bounced from the ground. I shutted my eyes as it does so.
After 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and only after 20 seconds passed, only then I slowly opened my closed eyes.
I saw the slime body was pierced through by the dagger I was holding. No liquid was flowing out of it, but the body started glowing and dissipated. The sound of something dropped into the ground was echoed throughout the room.
ha...ha...
My legs lost it strength, my body finally stop shaking tremendously like before after calming down.
After cooling myself for who knows how long, I wiped the sweat of my face.
Shit, fuck. This isn't how I imagined the fantasy world purposed to be like.
After killing the slime, a purple crystal dropped. The memory from the one when I entered the dungeon stated that killing the monsters in here will drop crystals, purple, blue, red and orange.
I picked up the purple crystal and started walking my way back to the entrance. I could see the clock was 3 quarters away from reaching 9. I opened the door and closed it before continuing my walk.
- Hey, kid, how's...
I stared at him when he talked to me.
...
- Nevermind, come back again when you're more prepared, kid.
He probably thinked I went through a hard time, so he decided to stop questioning me.
I started walking back to the boy's dormitory, I could see students walking here and there in the schoolground. When I was at the stairway and a floor away from where my room was located, I could hear students chatting happily. But I overheard one particular conversation while walking back to my room. The conversation was among 2 early bloomer commoners since I didn't see them before.
- Hey, that noble is trying to hit on that poor maid just now.
- Yeah, I wonder why she's working here when she's so young.
Even though I overheard it, I couldn't care less. I don't have the energy to be bothered by other things.
When I reached the floor and heading back, I was a noble was flirting with a maid. The noble boy wall slammed the maid, blocking her from walking away.
When I witnessed it, I didn't care. But the noble was wall slamming the maid on my entrance door.
- Come on, I can pay you well. So please, work under me. (Noble)
- Uh, I, I can't, sorry. (Maid)
- If you need permission first from the teacher, I can ask them. So how about it? (Noble)
- Uhm, that's not the problem... (Maid)
- Then what is it? Let me help you. (Noble)
- Uhm...well... (Maid)
- Oi. Move it.
The both stopped their conversation and stared at me. The noble was a bit irritated after seeing me while the maid felt relaxed.
- What are you doing? Can't you see I'm speaking to someone right now? Don't disturb us. (Noble)
- I could see that. And I don't care.
- Then why are you interfering me?
- I want to enter my room.
I pointed at the door behind the maid. When he saw it, he let go of his arm and faced me.
- Oh, I apologize. I will excuse myself. Also, please reconsider my offer. (Noble)
He said so while facing the maid before leaving. Then, when he left us, I faced the maid with intimidating eyes which spooked her.
- He left, now you. I want to enter my room.
- Oh uh yes, I'm sorry!
She bowed over 60 degree and left. I picked up the basket that previously had my dirty clothes in which were now washed cleaned back into my room.
I took a shower, put on my uniform and instead of going out for breakfast, I laid on my mattress.
...this isn't the fantasy kind of life I had always thought of...
