A mysterious figure was holding two blood-soiled blades and wearing a mask over his face. Marcus could not react when the mysterious man walked past him and toward Lana and Robert.

The two were getting ready to attack but stopped as soon as Lukas ignored them and moved closer to the wall, supporting his back and soon after making a strange sound as if he was feeling pain.

"Hey, who are you?" Lana asked roughly.

But Lukas remained silent.

'Damn, that fucking hurts.' He could only care about the severe pain he felt through every muscle. After using his new skill, his body was pushed to its limit.

That probably damaged some of his muscles.

'Is this going to happen every time I activate this skill?' If this was going to happen every time, Lukas was willing to never use this one without thinking again. He would use it only at crucial moments.

"Hey, don't you see we are in a bad situation?" Lana shouted at Lukas. Robert then reached over and touched Lukas' shoulder. Surprised, Lukas pulled away. His eyes stared at Robert.

Robert stepped back, afraid that Lukas would suddenly attack him with his bloodstained weapons.

But Lukas didn't do that. He stayed silent and looked toward Marcus and Junior, still fighting fiercely. "Listen. Many more goblins are coming; I don't think you can handle them all."

Lukas tried to modify his voice, but it didn't work well. Anyway, it was good enough.

"There are more of them?! You've got to be kidding me! How many of them are still alive?!"

"I couldn't count. I was attacked by a large amount of them and killed a few. However, there are still many. Many more are coming from the various paths of the dungeon. Probably all the goblins in the dungeon are coming to this place."

"Marcus, did you hear that?! It's impossible! We must find a way to escape and escape as fast as possible." Lana said with nervousness in her voice. She was starting to feel fear.

Her attacks stopped.

"I can help you, but you guys must hold out a little longer." Upon hearing Lukas' words, Lana looked at the two holes in his mask and saw his serious eyes. She believed him.

"All right."

"Lana, are you going to trust this guy? He..." Robert's knife trembled. He had already thrown his bow to the ground.

"What can he do? If he kills us here, he's dead."

"Just for that, you will trust him?" Robert couldn't understand. Lana was about to answer when a shout came from the front of the group.

"Lana, the attacks! continue!"

"Right! Marcus, he said he can help us escape from here!" Lana cast magic and shouted at Marcus.

"Help us? How?"

"I don't know either; he said we must hold on for a while."

"But where is he?"

"He walked to the right; he must be preparing something. What do you want to do? Do you want to trust him or not?"

Hearing Lana's question, Marcus looked at Junior. Junior nodded his head in agreement.

"We're lost and cannot escape! All we can do is trust him. But if he does something stupid, I'll deal with him myself. HMPH!" Marcus slammed his shield to the ground again, throwing the goblins away.

Marcus knew the goblins would catch up if they tried to run. Since they're lost in the tangled paths of the dungeon, running without knowing where they are going is madness.

And as the battle raged, Lukas had gone into hiding and was with his system open.

####

Lukas left where the group was fighting and opened his system. He looked at all his received notifications and ignored them for now. He was focusing on only one thing.

"Gacha system." He opened the screen with images of several different anime characters. Lukas didn't know all of them; the amount was giant. It was one great art with probably more than 30 of them.

The most famous in the art were probably Naruto, Goku, Eren, Rias Gremory, Rem, and other female characters from Re:Zero. It was clear that the system liked them since they were in the front.

And all in unnecessary sexy poses. Anyway, Lukas thought they were all beautiful.

"Fine, spend a thousand likes and use the gacha." He will probably get ten characters since the button had [x10]. Or that's what he was hoping for.

[ Congratulations, you have used the gacha for the first time! ]

[ You received a welcome bonus! ]

[ Strength and agility increased by 10% ]

After the messages arrived, the gacha was activated. The screen disappeared, and soon after, a new screen appeared. In it, several cards were placed next to each other by an invisible hand.

The first card was brown, like bronze. The second, likewise. The third was also bronze in color. And this continued until the last card.

A silver card.

"Is that good or bad?"

All the cards were there, face down. Lukas had to turn one by one to receive his prizes. In the air, the first card was turned over, and what did Lukas get? Nothing but a few likes.

[ You got 10 likes! ]

The second card.

[ You got 15 likes! ]

The third card.

[ You got a low-level healing potion! ]

And so it went on until the last card. When Lukas turned over the last card, which was silver, he didn't get likes or items but a character. However, he knew it was not a good character.

"What the fuck kind of character is that?"
