Buster walked out of the cafe apologizing to both Alex and Midnight. He was in a lot of hurry. Midnight looked at Alex and rolled her eyes, "It's like that so often. But I can't complain, It's a busy job and I'm surprised that I get this much attention" She smiled slyly.
Midnight then turned at the temples and spoke, "I think we should return as well, There isn't much to do here, and it would just be repetitive boring after this point." She spoke while pulling out her phone.
Alex nodded and spoke, "I have so money I want to explore this place more so you can return if you want. I'll be going ho in a few hours." He answered after hearing Hades request him to separate from Midnight.
Midnight furrowed her brows and looked at Alex, "You I can't let you do that. Although I did drag you here, we are here to protect you. That was our duty while we were off, to protect you if you were close by and not let you be alone except if it's in your room." She shrugged as If she could do nothing about it.
Alex sighed and spoke, "I can't really do much about that but It feels very weird being watched 24/7. I just honestly want a breather on my own. Nothing more and nothing less." He looked a bit sad.
Midnight also took a deep breath and spoke, "Well, if that is the case, How about we make a deal I'll stay in the cafe for an hour or two. You can go off exploring on your own as long as you keep relatively close to this place. Just enough for to be able to run to you quickly That's the most I can do for you." She smiled after.
Alex nodded and spoke, "Deal."
Midnight smiled and let Alex walk out of the cafe.
'Okay, kid, We do have a small problem'Hades Spoke as soon as Alex left the cafe. Alex paused for a bit and continued walking towards the Temples. 'What do you an?' He was concerned.
Hades continued, ' It's about the Dungeon. You might have an idea already but the thing that Buster was talking about the energy readings being all over the place is due to the dungeon. I have more information on it now, but as soon as the dungeon is opened, not only you but a bunch of other awakened who qualify can enter it Which ans one very disturbing thing.
Alex furrowed his eyes, 'What is disturbing?' He asked.
'Well, I believe that this dungeon isn't actually a product of the system. Having a closer look, it seems to be more of a warning, which aligns with the lack of option on when to start it, It'll start on its own whenever. This is concerning because The powers that allow soone to create a dungeon is out of this universe And if the origin behind this is who I think it is, we might just have a huge problem as we're not exactly his pri candidates Hell, it might be worse.' Hades sounded like he didn't want to disclose much at the mont.
After so pause, Hades continued, 'But I think before we start to worry too much, there are sothings that we can do Firstly, I know that I'm beating around the bush but I don't want to talk about the person who might possibly be behind this thing. Once the dungeon starts, you will know for yourself who he is Secondly, I might just be wrong with my assumptions so we don't take any major action till the dungeon starts. And thirdly, The system has notified us that there will be a trial dungeon that we can start anyti to practice this upcoming dungeon. It takes a few hours to complete so that is what I recomnd us doing right now You have taken ti off from that woman's surveillance so No ti is better.' Hades spoke slowly and clearly.
Alex nodded, 'I'm used to this by now. I'll go to a quiet spot' He spoke as he walked around the temples, trying to find a more reserved and isolated area.
After so ti, Alex finally found a spot, 'I'm ready, let's hurry.' He wanted to make it in ti and not angry Midnight. He knew that if Ryan found that he had randomly disappeared once again, he would be placed under more surveillance after that which would be an annoying ordeal for him.
'Okay. Let's do this.' Hades spoke before activating the dungeon.
Slowly, Alex started to feel a bit nauseous. His surrounding started to darken as Alex started to lose his senses. Slowly, Alex fell into the ground but he couldn't feel anything and his eyes slowly closed. After so ti, Alex opened his eyes to see a giant Gate. He looked around and saw that his surroundings were all dark and that he was standing on so form of platform.
"My body feels so weird" Alex speaks as he tries to move his body. It feels as if Alex was underwater, there was a weird sense of pressure and grogginess as well.
After a few minutes, Alex could freely move around without a hitch. Alex walked around the platform, 'Kid, To start, you just get close to the gate and touch it. After that, just back away and Then wait. It should give you so ti to be ready but I recomnd you to get used to the platform space. The last thing you want is to fall off the platform because you couldn't discern how much to jump.' Hades explained.
Alex nodded and did as told. After exploring the platform, He walked to the gate and slowly touched it. Alex looked at the gate as it started to transform. The colours started to change from a dark purple hue to a lighter blue and then back to Purple. After a few minutes, the Gate started to ripple as a Hand popped out of it.
