Chapter 10

Because of a request I'm going to try to make the MC less "spineless" and describe things more tell me if you like that change or not.

Arthur's POV

"Where did we teleport to this time"I asked tired of the teleporting

"Somewhere other than hades realm"Natsuki said

"Well more specifics would be nice"I said

"A Level 250 dungeon"Natsuki said

"Well does can I leave without getting one shot"I asked

"Nope"Natsuki said

"So what is that"I asked pointing to the big glowing portal in the middle of the room"I said sighing

"Your way back to the starting nexus and the way I got in"Natsuki said

"How did you teleport here this is a dungeon"I asked

"I cleared the dungeon"Natsuki answered

"That explains why I didn't die instantly"I said

"Anyways the portal can only be used one more time before it destabilizes go through"Natsuki said

"Wait I'll send you a friend request"I said

I opened my friend menu and sent her one

"You are now friends with Natsuki"

"Okay I guess this goodbye for a month"I said

"Yep"Natsuki answered

"See ya" I said and walked through the portal

"Okay where am- whoahhhhhhh"I yelled

I was standing right on the top of a tower and the only way down is climbing. I slowly slid myself down the top of the tower to lookout and climbed through.

"This is a perfect place to check out my new title skills and class"I said

"Open skill window"I said

"Wow that's a cool item maybe accepting hades request wasn't all that bad"I said as I equipped it

I started to make my way down the tower I looked around and I really didn't know where the hell I was. I could see a church in the distance as well as a fortress but those were the only landmarks I could make out.I as getting hungry so I ate a bit of the loaves of rye bread I started with along with a swig of water form my canteen.

"Aww that tastes like wet paper"I said almost choking on the gross bread in my throat

"If I don't get something better to eat I'm going to gag with every meal"I said disgusted

I started to just walk around to trying desperately to grasp at some sort of recognition but everything around me seemed so foreign.

Damn it where the hell am I I slightly recognized the clean and shiny marble style of the starting nexus. But none of the buildings really wrung a bell.

"Excuse me are you lost" a male sounding person said patting me on shoulder

Crap I didn't hear him at all and I looked Behind me a second ago how did he get there so fast. I could clearly tell that he wasn't some beginner trying to help he was in a cloak and I couldn't see anything beneath it. I couldn't even sense his soul

"Hades has a... Request for you"the man said

"I knew a class like that was too Good to be true"I said

"He wants you to ..."retrieve" one of his Artifacts"

"And if I decline"I asked

"You will be-"the man was interrupted and disappeared

"Hey guys look someone's who has a cool sword over there"

"Wow he still has the starting rags but look at that sword"

"It's glowing"

"We have to recruit him and whoever he's talking to"

I turned around and saw 4 people run up to me there was 3 guys and a girl

"Hey"the tall one said

"Where stuck on a quest and keep dying"the tall one said

"That's because you never buff us"the short one said

"I always buff Sam more because he's the tank"the tall one said

And they started bickering.

"Stop stop guys This is why we're dying we're unorganized"the guy in plate armor said

"Yeah we should all work together"the girl said

The two of them awkwardly apologized

"So can you help us with our quest" the short one said

I was about to answer before

"How rude introduce yourselves first"the girl said

"My name is david Mage and spellsword"the tall one said

"My name is Daniel rogue level 21" the short one said

"I'm Sam and I'm a defender level 23"the one in plate armour said

"And I'm lily and I'm a healer level 20"the girl said

"Hi I'm Arthur" I said

"So will you help us with the dungeon"lily said

"Yeah!"Daniel said

"It would be a great help"Sam replied

"If you could help us organized our group that'd be great"David said

"Wait what level are you must be pretty high ring that cloak and that sword seem high level"Daniel said

"12"I said

The mood dropped drastically

"Well I guess you can still come with us"lily said awkwardly

"Well I don't have much else to do I guess"I said

Plus I was lost getting some directions after would be nice.

"Great we'll take you to the quest giver"Daniel said

I followed them as they made their way to the around the city I didn't recognize a single building in this part of the nexus. It noticed the sun close to setting as we approached the church.

"Oh your back adventurers and you have a new companion it seems"the head priest said

"Yeah he's helping us could you give him the quest"Sam said

"Sure as long as he helps get rid of... That EVIL or else he will be in vain"he said eerily

And I received a quest and 50 bottles of holy water

Cleanse the ruins under the church of its vile evil

Rank 4 quest

Requirements

-defeat the black knight

-pour holy water over the cleared parts of the dungeon

-unknown

-destroy or absorb the source of raw evil

-unknown

-unknown

Rewards

-max reputation with the church

-choice to advance from knight to paladin

-100 gold

-anything in the ruins

This quest seems odd with so many unknowns and a rank of 4 for such an easy quest what are unknowns 100 gold too. This is definitely suspicious normally churches only allow max reputation for the highest of deeds this doesn't seem like a hard quest.

"Okay let's go"said

The high priest opened some kind of stairwell down we started make our way down and it just got weirder and weirder the walls started to be made of rocks that had been infused with souls and mana. I could feel the souls screaming for me to end their suffering. The speed buff and health buff activated once he reached the bottom level the soul energy their was crazy.

The torches on the walls shimmered in a odd shade of purple lighting the walls in an eerie effect. The moss and cracks in the walls made the whole place look rundown as I walked through the creepy halls shivers ran down my spine.

"This place is creepy"I said

"I know right"said Daniel

We made it to a large wooden door that was reinforced with iron strips some of the wood had started to rot and the iron was rusting. Yet the door was surprisingly sturdy

I could sense a humungous amount of souls behind the door. Equal to that of a battlefield. The door wouldn't budge it seemed to be reinforced by some kind of magic

But Daniel pulled out a book and flipped to the last page and ripped out a page. Soon the large door burst open and wood chips and pieces of iron flung out and hitting everyone in the face my cloak helped but I was covered in dust and debris.

"Isn't there supposed to be a black knight"I asked

"Look over there"Sam said

Where the door used to be there was a knight in pitch black armour at least twice the of me. He made growling sounds and started glow blood red the room started to disappear and be replaced with blood,blood everywhere and after the whole room was filled with blood what I saw was terrifying and saddening at the same time.
