Floor 67th
Dungeon of Chaos
Forgotten Island
…
Standing in front of the statue placed in the centre of the room, I observed it carefully. So, basically I should just keep defeating the statue one by one until I get to the 99th floor, where I would et 'her' again.
I sighed as I looked at the statue in front of . It was a human with scales on its back, more like lizard scales or perhaps dragon scales? In any case, the way to clear the dungeon was to move towards the door on the other side of the room and the statue will start attacking you, preventing you from entering it.
Though, this ti I just stood there for a few monts as I looked at those statues. Usually, the whole dungeon had a purpose, but this one required simple fighting. I an, I did learn various ways to wield different weapons for each of these statues… but.
I touched that statue in front of and I wondered if I…
"Rejection Fragnt: I reject all the curses placed on this statue," I spoke and about 5 percent of my energy was lost again. Because I waited a little before using the Rejection Fragnt again, my power was full again.
And just like I imagined, the statue started shaking before it started gaining back its colours. It took about 5 minutes but the statue was no longer stony, but instead a man with red scales on its back ca in front of my eyes.
It had an old style of clothes and there was a red band that matched its red-colored eyes.
"Awaah… so it's finally ti, huh?" spoke that man as he stretched his back before observing and then speaking.
"So, what are we going to do next?"
I looked at him, a bit confused, as I tilted my head. It was as if he was asking to command him and I asked back,"Excuse sir… what do you an by that?"
" 'Sir?' you are calling sir… wait! Wait! Wait! Oh… I totally forgot… oh! Yeah… I might really die… but I didn't… so it's fine. Safe! Safe! Safe? Well, whatever…" he started mumbling then he realised sothing before nodding to himself as he spoke,
"Well… why was I here again… yeah! Take out your spear, young man! I will bestow my skills upon you."
Confused even more, I looked at him as I asked,"I don't mind getting your teaching but can I ask why you are doing it?" Though I took out my spear, anyway.
"Because I have been tasked to do that… anyway, just do it," he mumbles silently before looking at energetically and taking out his own spear.
"First thing about the spear is…" he then started teaching about spearmanship. At first, it was basic teaching but… as I listened more, I got more profound knowledge in that art and then he asked to spar with him.
While I was easily defeated on the first try, as I sparred more and more, I started to understand his skill and after an unknown amount of ti,"Alright… I guess this much is enough. You already knew many things, so it took less ti. Try to use it properly. You may move to the next floor now."
I looked at him for a mont before I bowed to him as I spoke,"thank you sir."
"Leave, I suppose. You bowing to … it kind of feels awkward now… take care Zero, hope you achieve what you want too buddy," he spoke with a warm smile before he started turning to dust and then completely vanishing from there.
Though I looked at him a bit confused as I tried recalling if I had told him my na or not… but,"I don't think I had told him my na… and the way he was talking with … did he know ?"
This was getting more and more confusing now… first that old man and now this…
However, this was only the beginning of strange things, from here onwards…
Floor 68th
"HO! My god you look so handso now?! Did you get a new haircut or sothing?" an old woman spoke before she taught how to make so potions that had no side effects whatsoever.
Floor 69th
"Hehe! So it really happened, huh? Looks like I will get my ti to shine as well… Zero, let's learn how to use knives properly, shall we?" spoke a young kid as he smiled proudly before beginning to teach how to use them.
Floor 70th
"Kid, you should work on your posture more."

"You look quite pathetic, as usual. Let tell you what it is to be a man," spoke a robust man as he smiled at from ear to ear.
Floor 98th
"Hey, how are you? You look quite tired, huh? Must be rough around the edges with everything going on… well, I don't have much skills to give you since you already have everything… but…" a young girl moved closer to and kissed on my lips. I felt a warm energy in my body and feeling embarrassed, she stepped back as she smiled brightly and spoke,
"Save us Zero… we will et again… see you soon."
Then she vanished too, as I saw her turning to dust.
It was odd… every ti I tried asking about them or if they knew or anything, they wouldn't answer. They simply focus on teaching and if I try to reject their teaching, they get angry… like really, really angry… until they succeed in teaching .
Just what was going on here?
It took about two and a half months to reach here, which was significantly faster than last ti, where it took more than a year to get here.
Though things were completely different from last ti… it felt like… I visited my hotown or sothing? Did they really know ? Who exactly were they?
All the thoughts were confusing , and with those confused thoughts in my mind, I soon entered the next floor… Floor 99th.
