I exit the Item Space and teleport right into my car.
"I’ll probably never go back to my room in the hotel until I finally check out. I’m willing to bet a hundred kk’s there’s an Assassin Class Warrior there in hiding, waiting for yours truly at this very mont."
I drive off and start looking for D-Rank Dungeons.
"Niger has over ten thousand of them, last I checked. Though nowhere near the large number of E-Rank Dungeons, it’s still a lot of them so finding one shouldn’t be a hassle. Just need to look for a human sized green hole in the fabric of space and ti, nothing special."
I drive around District-2 and see a lot of them. Except none that are currently empty.
"Fuck... Why can’t I have privacy?"
I keep driving around until...
"Hm? Well hello there my neglected friend." I say noticing an empty Dungeon to my side.
I drive towards it and park my car accordingly. After stepping out of the vehicle, I walk towards the site and hand my new ID over to the guards that stood watch. One of them then uses his Verification Tool to check it out. It checks but for so reason, he stops to look at with a perplexed expression. He then looks back at my card then looks at again. His partner as well.
I look at their natags and they read Hugh and Barry respectively.
Hugh then speaks. "Uhm...sir. Correct if I’m wrong but it says here that you’re an F-Rank, am I reading this right?"
"Yep." I answer. "That’s , the first and only F-rank in the world. Problem?"
"Well...I’m sure you understand that if that’s really the case, then we can’t allow you to enter this Dungeon without a party." He replies.
"Oh right. That. Yeah look behind the card."
"Behind the card?" He asks as he turns the card over to see what’s behind it. The mont he does, his entire expression changes. "Th-the Manager!? Is this real!?"
"Yeah." I answer. "Seems he didn’t look at the card’s front carefully since it indicates there that I work for the Warriors Association as a ’’Correctional’’ Officer. That or...he may not know about the Disciplinary Committee, which would make a lot more sense."
"I-I am so sorry sir. I didn’t realize that you w-"
"Hey don’t worry about it." I see fit to console him seeing as he’s starting to panic.
His partner Barry also looks like he’s in pain.
They’re probably afraid that they might lose their jobs or sothing at this point.
"You both look tense." I chuckle. "I’d say don’t worry about your jobs or sothing like that but I’d be lying, since technically, you are going to lose them sowhat after I clear this Dungeon."
"Pardon?" Barry finally speaks. "You’re planning on clearing a D-Rank Dungeon on your own?"
"You betcha." I punctuated nonchalantly as I swipe my ID from Hugh’s hands and start walking towards the Dungeon.
"I have no reason to hide my capabilities anymore. After all, as it stands, the only people who can pose a threat to are S-Ranks and above. But the above guys wouldn’t waste their ti with , so newbie, so I don’t need to worry about them. Which leaves only S-Ranks, threats I can deal with easily through my overprotective Uncle who’s got a worldwide organization backing him. Not to ntion the fact that with how strong I’m growing, I’m sure in a few months’ ti I’ll be crushing S-Ranks like ants. I’m already capable of reaching average S-Rank level speed with Hypermove. It’s only a matter of ti at this point."
"I’ll be steamrolling through Dungeons from one Rank to another. All the way up to S-Rank!"
I enter the Dungeon, leaving the guards staring at with flabbergasted expressions.
I find myself falling imdiately after going through the portal.
"Huh. That’s different."
I activate my flight Spell and stop to float in mid-air then look down.
"The heck?" There isn’t a down to look at. There’s no surface whatsoever. I’m surrounded by an endless sky. "I’ve heard that so Dungeons have weird environnts but, wow... this is just otherworldly."
Well, a Dungeon is technically an otherworld so I guess I should expect this much at least.
~Swoop!~
"Huh?"
~Swoop!~
~Swoop!~
Sharp sounds start travelling through the air. A barrage of gushes of wind travelling along with them. Before I even notice what they are, a spear cos flying at at an incredible speed. It misses my stomach as I almost instinctively spin sideways to avoid it.
I look to where it ca from, slowly turning my gaze with unyielding focus and there they are.
"Those are..."
Harpies.
[Report. Subject has entered the Harpies’ Domain: The Sky Fortress Outskirts. Subject will now receive an Imdiate Quest...]
"Oh, now you tell ."
[Imdiate Quest contents.]

"I’ll be able to ’see’ the Sky Fortress? Is it saying that’s it’s hidden sohow...? Welp. No ti to think about that now..."
The Harpies are still attacking. Hundreds of their spears flying straight at in mid-air while I simply just dodge, spinning and flipping around through the air with relative ease, the aeronautical acrobative displays almost srizing. The ignition function of my flight Spell is helping a lot in my dodging, as it allows to catapult myself towards any direction with no need for a surface to step up off of.
There are two alphas among my enemies and over nine-hundred normies. One of the alphas then speaks... well, ’yells’ basically...
"Haisek yosinu! Nakiier soka G’nori! Nakiier soka hiwenki!"
"I know ’soka’ and ’G’nori’ ans ’the’ and ’Warrior’ respectively. So ’nakiier’ must an ’kill’, ’attack’, or ’get’. ’Kill’ seems more like what soone would say in a situation like this. I’m able to understand a little since I morized every single word Hayzar said to when we spoke."
In ti, I’m sure I will have learned the whole language.
"Now then, ti to get serious..."
I conjure out First Dawn from the Item Space.
"Let’s show these birds who the real masters of the sky are, ey First Dawn?" The blade shimrs, releasing a white glow as if responding to my statent. A silence follows. Then a whisper. With it, I launch my most powerful attack.
"Sunset Slash."
Precisely nine-hundred and forty-seven Harpies’ heads fall simultaneously as they are separated from their bodies that follow.
"Yeesh... Wonder how long that’s gonna last." I express, in observation of the free fall.

"Noice." I transfer all the Mana Crystals to my Item Space.
[Report. Sky Fortress is now manifesting...]
The sky begins rumbling as an entire land the size of a large city starts to materialize out of the sky. It’s as if it was hidden by the sky and is now being revealed by the sky.
"A floating fortress." I behold.
It’s a large land, filled with a number of buildings and pathways. One building in particular is found at the very center, a castle basically, bigger than all the other buildings surrounding it. I attempt to fly down and enter the domain. To my surprise I’m stopped by so invisible force.
"A barrier." I say noticing the flow of Mana in the air, constantly being emitted every ti I touch said-barrier.
I then look down, there are countless harpies moving around the place. I can see them but it seems as if they can’t see .
"A barrier that can warp perception? Then, what is it exactly that they see from the inside? A fabricated sky?" I wonder as I start to look around the area...
"Well, regardless, there’s gotta be an entrance sowhere around here, right?."
I look to the front of the whole land. There is a large black temple-style double-gate seemingly made entirely out so unknown tal-like substance. There are no guards, however, although I probably could’ve killed them already.
"Chances are, the alphas from before."
I descend over to the gate, there’s no foothold structure to stand on and open it so I have to open it while still flying. Thing is, I don’t simply push it open, rather I punch it open.
"Have I gotten a little more violent recently?"
No way.
"No way."
The gate then shatters into multiple pieces as the impact echoes throughout the entire fortress.
