No Fear For The Unknowing
Once Luke entered the dungeon he took a mont to catch his breath and only after recovering his stamina did he begin to explore the inside of the dungeon which despite having a clear lack of a light source was surprisingly well lit with the source of the light coming from bioluminescent plants.
The dungeon itself was pretty narrow and long and if Luke’s sense of spatial movent was not skewed it was situated not more than 2 ters below actual sea level.
The deeper he walked into the dungeon, the more prominent the sound of waves crashing over his head beca as he was sure that this dungeon was created off the shore of Panjim town and under the sea bed.
It was a mysterious and beautiful place with amazing carvings all along the hall-ways and although there were no monsters in the dungeon that Luke encountered yet, sohow the dungeon gave him an eerie and abandoned feeling that made his nerves feel on the edge.
“Who dares enter the great Oyster Farr’s workshop?” A voice suddenly said, startling Luke as he entered the main hall of the dungeon.
The voice sounded angry and the question it was asking was obviously rhetorical, however, Luke fearlessly replied to it as he had nothing but pure intentions in his heart.
” I’m SkyLion, an adventurer who’s looking to uplift many beggars out of poverty.
I have been given information that this place holds the key to achieve my goal, am I correct?” He said, counter questioning the voice that asked him his identity, speaking in a commanding tone which left even the owner of the voice dumbfounded.
” You- huh? What?” The voice said as soon a thin and scrawny looking man walked out of the shadows, inspecting Luke as if he were so odd being.
” You’re clearly human, a species cursed with greed…. Yet you claim you want to help others?” The scrawny man said as Luke raised an eyebrow and retorted “You say these words as if you’re not human yourself “.
Once again, the scrawny man was left dumbfounded as he frowned deeply and inspected Luke’s stat panel only to find him to be level 0.
Luke was clearly a full grown man and full grown n were supposed to be at least level 10 irrespective of how talentless they were, yet Luke was level 0.
Not only that, but he was apparently telling the truth too as it seed like he had no idea that the man he was talking to was not a human but a r-man.
” No I’m not human-” he said as he showed his palm which had webbed interlockings like a duck instead of open fingers like those of a human.
” Holy hell! You’re a rmaid!” Luke exclaid as the man in front of him could not help but slap his face in dissapointnt.
” Hey hey hey, fool, from what angle do I look like a woman? Do I have breasts? Do I have a big plumpy ass? Do I have sexy long hair?
I’m a r-man! Man! Male! Owner of the donger, sword warrior, ga changer” he exclaid as Luke made an ‘O’ expression on his face, feeling enlightened.
Back on Earth the popular fantasies only depicted the rmaids and never talked about the males of the species, so Luke had never imagined that males existed amongst them too.
” Apologies…. I had no idea” Luke said as the r-man let out an angry sigh, feeling agitated about facing a fool like Luke.
” You’re wasting your ti here human, this is a r-man outpost where we farm oysters, it’s off-limits to humans as per our treaty.
I don’t know how you found it, but I can’t help you with anything, so it’s best you return” The r-man said as Luke shook his head and wiggled his finger in front of the man.
” Nononono, you see, the system would never issue a quest that was impossible. You’re capping, I call it ” he said as the r-man was once again left dumbfounded watching his confidence.
System?
Capping?
Call it?
He understood none of those terms and while both of them were speaking English it seed like both of them were not speaking the sa English as the r-man failed to understand what Luke wished to convey.
Judging the confusion on his face, Luke reiterated his pitch as he said ” See it’s like this, there are a lot of beggars in Panjim town… the human establishnt off the coast.
And soone told that this place holds the key to teaching them a skill that can uplift them out of poverty….. that’s why I’m here”
” So what if so humans sleep hungry? What’s it have to do with ? Why should I teach them the pearl collection skill?
What’s in it for ?” The r-man argued as Luke imdiately walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder as he looked deep into his eyes.
This was an awkward scenario as Luke was being way too casual with a level 360 r-man who had the potential to subrge the entire Panjim town underwater if he lost his mind, yet in his ignorance, Luke did not fear this man at all.
” What’s in it for you? Co on now…. I thought you were a capitalist! Can’t you see the opportunity?
Cheap labor…. CHEAP LABOR!” Luke said excitedly as now the r-man truly felt lost, yet intrigued about what this unique human had to say.
What followed was Luke explaining how the r-man could teach humans his pearl collection skill and make them work for minimum wage and in-return he could make exponentially more money for himself.
Initially the r-man wondered if the human was a fool, but after he understood the benefits of the arrangent Luke proposed he began to laugh alongside Luke as well as his hostility towards him dissolved.
” Hahaha…. I never thought about hiring cheap helpers for practically free, this human tactic is amazing! MUAHAHA” He laughed as Luke laughed right alongside him.
