After explaining everything that has happened.

"Tis a terrible situation"said the unknown woman

"ah well you know,story of my life"

She remains silent and carefully looks over my body,eventually noticing the the blood leaking from my boot

"Are thou also injured?"

"just a scratch"

She walks over and pushes me to the floor.Is everyone in this place strong as hell or am I just weak?

she takes off my boot and sock revealing a large gash and bruising.

"So you're injured and a liar"

"Take pity on this poor soul..."

She sighs and went to go pick up a robe from one of the boxes, tearing it to just one long piece and begins wrapping it around my ankle

"at least this will stop thou from leaving a trail of thy blood"

When she finished she stood up and waited for me to put on my sock and boot.

"let's go already.The sooner the better"

She helps me up and wraps my left arm around her shoulder so she can support the side that is injured.

"You decided to help me?"

I kinda thought she would tell me to go fuck myself...

"It would leave a bad taste If I just turned a blind eye"

She picked up a spare robe and we start walking down the hallway.

.........We have been walking in silence for a while now...

"so...You have a general idea on how to get out of here?"

"kill anything in our way until we find the exit"

Well that's better than any plan I had

"Sounds like a plan.....uh ...I never got your name"

"Thou can call me Lucy"

"Well Lucy,my name's Michael.A pleasure meeting you.

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

"See what did I tell you?"

"thou weren't lying...."

Me and Lucy were peeking from a corner at a group of 4 apples rolling around.I don't even think that they have a goal they're kinda just randomly bumping into the walls and each other.

"I'll admit,It's a bit hard to believe.But with this we can follow through on the plan.Remember if you don't kill them instantly they'll start screaming and reinforcements will come."

"understood"

Lucy steps out of the corner and gets in a running pose.Suddenly a burst of wind explodes and she disappears and appears right in the middle of the apple crowd,within the next second the apples were suddenly smashed in half or for the case of one of the unfortunate apples,end up exploding across the wall...

Damn,So that's body reinforcement huh?

More importantly... I limp over to one of the apples

"I was right ! besides the mouth they're just big ass apples"

Looking at the insides of the apple all I see is ...well apple.I was kinda expecting bloody organs...

I pick up half an apple from the floor,I need both arms to be able to carry it.Should I really be eating a monster apple off the floor of a dungeon?probably not but If the monsters don't kill me,my hunger will..

I take a bite.

"T-This.. is hands down the most juicy apple I've ever eaten..Lucy take a bit of this !".

She walks over here and takes a bite from the apple I'm holding

"thou is right!"

she snatches the apple from my hands and starts devouring it....I guess I'll get another apple....

We sit down side by side and lean against the wall while we eat.

I can only guess,but around half a day has passed since I met Lucy.Even though we made sure to choose which direction we go carefully. It just feels like we have been walking around in circles.But it wasn't completely wasted time,I was able to find out some things about Lucy.Turns out,she didn't come from the ring, she is the ring.Just let that sink in.Imagine how I felt when she dropped that bomb on me.

She is a ring of Physical Reinforcement,meaning enhancing physical attributes like strength or speed.Well according to her.

" Lucy.. *much* You're this super powerful ring,why are you in some box in a dungeon ?"

Lucy stops eating and looks over to me,she has apple juice and pieces of apple all over her mouth and cheeks.

"bwo I Haff *swallow* to answer?"

I rip a piece off of the spare robe that she made me carry and hand it to her so she can wipe her face.

"well no,I was just wondering"

After wiping her face

"Thou know how on the graduating day, students get to pick a M.I.W for themselves?"

M.I.W

Magically Intelligent Weapons

"I was part of the choices,but none of the students were the kind of owner I was looking for and so I requested to be transferred to storage.At first they refused,but after a couple of centuries they gave in. "

"Does it really matter that you don't have an owner?"

She throws a piece of apple at me

"The whole purpose of a M.I.W is to look for an owner to serve ! "

"right right,Well if you want a owner so badly why not just pick whoever?"

She slapped me

"I can't ju-"

I slapped her right back.

"Don't go slapping people woman! use words !"

She touches her cheek

"you have balls ....to dare slap me .."

I made a mistake.....I quickly stand up

"Things got out of hand...we both did things we regret....Let's just put this behind us ..."

"Thou are correct.."

She stands up and before I know it I'm punched in the stomach.

"Gah......N-Not again.."

I pass out.

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

ughhh

I wake up and prop myself up on my elbows,looking around I see that I'm in a small well lit room with several torches on each side of the room .The only furniture it has is a table in the corner of the room with apples stacked on it,some chairs and a bookshelf that Lucy was pushing to cover the door.

I was covered in some old looking blankets and even had 2 pillows.well I say pillows but it is just a blanket with some soft stuffing.I was lying on the floor in a corner of the room

" You didn't have to hit me that hard Lucy "

"hm? You're awake? "

"No I'm asleep.How long have I been out?"

Lucy finishes covering the door

"Just a couple hours" said Lucy as she heads over to me and picks up some of my extra blankets and a pillow and goes to the opposite corner and starts laying down

For a couple of hours?Is it even healthy to be knocked out for that long?

I can feel my ankle and stomach throb

"You're going to sleep?Do rings even sleep?"

"Yes,When I'm in this form I'm no different from thou.Get some sleep,I'll wake quickly If an enemy is near"

Well ...The room is barricaded,and I have a powerful being in here two...

"goodnight then."

I roll over and try to sleep.

-15 minutes later

Cold.It's too damn cold ! This blanket doesn't help at all ! It's too worn down !

How is she sleeping in this temperature?!

I look over at her direction and see her shivering...

Fuck this shit.

I get up,bringing my pillow and blanket with me and head to Lucy.

"you awake?"

"T-Thou are s-still awake?"

"Damn straight,who can sleep when its this cold ! scoot over"

"W-why?"

"we're sleeping together,with two blankets and two people we'll warm right up "

"N-no,I'm fine like this.."

"Do you think you can handle this cold for the entire night ?"

".................Since Thou insist on doing this I shall allow it."

I throw my blanket over her and pillow and get under the covers with her.

ahhh..I can already feel myself warming up.....

It is still slightly cold but now it's bearable.I can feel the fatigue from running all day catching up with me.

And thus my first day in a dungeon comes to an end.
