Chapter 5

Location: Awakeners Headquarters

"Category 7 Portal has been opened"

"Where's the location?"

"A-at the Wuxia Private Hospital"

"A hospital?"

"The worst place for a portal to open"

"Do we have any Awakened close to the location?"

"Closest Awakened is 20 miles from here, we dispatched most of our Awakened for the Category 5 portal that opened in the middle of the ocean."

"DAMMIT"

"WAIT… what about that new chick? What was his location again?"

"W-wuxia Private Hospital s-sir."

"GET AS MUCH INFO ON HIM AS POSSIBLE"

"AND BRING ME WHAT YOU FIND"

(* W-well we will just have to hope he can hold on for a bit.*)

------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile:

"Ugh"

"Where am I?"

I looked around to survey the area, to my right was the knife I was holding and to my left were leaves.

(* Seems like I was kidnapped… whoever did it must be terrible at their job*)

*keeeeeeeek* *kheeeck*

"Who's there?"

*keeeek*

"Whoever you are, I was kidnapped and I am currently lost" I yelled out.

"Please hel----

And before I could finish my sentence the baldest, ugliest and disgusting creature I have ever seen jumped out at me.

(* W-wait green*)

"G-g-go-goblin" I yelled as I ran as fast a I could

On the way, while I was running deeper into what seemed like an endless forest more of those creatures jumped out at me. It was like they were waiting for me all along, then a thought popped into my head.

[Fireball]

(* Wait, I'm awakened now so I should have some skills… What was it again Fireball? *)

And at that moment a ball of flames came from nothingness onto my hands and I knew I needed to throw it… I mean no one wants to get burnt. Right before my eyes, a goblin went up in flames.

After a while I was still in this forest being attacked by more and more goblins, then I came across a door… A HUGE DOOR, from the pictures I have seen from James, a troll could definitely fit in there, I reached my hand close to the door. I didn't touch it, just reached close enough for me to be able to feel the heat from the door, but then it opened.

(* damn… automatic door? Guess humans aren't the only evolved species*)

I walk in and get engulfed by darkness… It was really dark and scary because every step I took made me get scared of what was to come.

"Welcome!!" A voice said as if welcoming us to his palace

"You must be an Awakened, nice to finally meet you." the voice said with excitement.

"Ohh… Where are my manners." He said as he claps his hands and a row of lights turn on

And before me I see ------

Location: Somewhere near the portal

"Did I really get called out for this?"

"Yes you did sir, they are still waiting for your response."

"How much is the price range for a category 7 again?"

"I think it is about 7 to 15 million dollars, sir."

"Why do I have to go, I want to spend the time here with you. Won't you let me?"

"That is not what I am hired to do sir."

"Although if you clear this dungeon I could always give you an extra reward!"

"What will it be?"

"You will have to wait and find out."

"What's the location again?"

"Wuxia Private Hospital I believe."

"Wuxia Private Hospital huh…"

"What are you doing sir?"

"What do you think, going to claim my reward… Get in."

*vroom* *vroom*
