The Adventurer System

[Slave rules]

-Share exp with the owner

-No personal rules

-Share 10% of power

A rounded icon kept circulating in the center of the viewscreen. As the system processing if his rules would be granted.

Asarki was startled since she wanted to stop Grim. "Hey! You wasting your chance!"

"What did you mean?"

"You had 3 chances, so if the system rejected this. The slave contract will happen next six months."

"Why you didn't say it earlier? Tch!"

Chirla, Yuki, Yumiro, and Asarki were looking at the screen that appeared in their eyes. Wishing the system would accept the rules, so they could proceed in their expedition. 

The icon was slowly moving, and every time it took time Yumiro felt tense. There was a chance their journey to climb at the Heaven Dream continent would delay.

"Come on accept it..." He rapidly tapping his left foot.

Yumiro had a wide grin on his face, seeing the system granted the rules with the slave contract.

"Rogue, huh... Not bad."

However, Asarki couldn't believe what her eyes witnessing right now. "Eh?! Rogue! On top of that, Yuki's early status is higher than mine when I was starting."

The rogue class could be dangerous since it could promote to become an assassin, that expert for eliminating the threats.

"Grim, how you exactly did that?! This is unbelievable!" She turned to the cat woman. "Chirla, become my slave."

Chirla slowly shook her head. "Even I want, Adventurer Asarki. But, I decided to serve Adventurer Grim for my entire life."

"Jeez! Cut it out! It isn't the reason why we are going here." Yumiro stopped her from pursuing Chirla.

"Grim, let me do this. Chirla could gain exp here."

"You didn't hear? She refused you, so there's no reason to force her." He said in a cold tone, then patted Yuki's head. "Let's get stronger."

"Yes, brother Grim! I'll do everything to would not bring you in the burden."

"Chirla could be stronger here."

"Enough, you irritating my ears." He said, then took the item inside his inventory.

"But--"

"Chirla was being a slave for a long time, so why are you forcing her to back that title. You're inconsiderate."

A pink collar was slowly putting in Yuki's neck, by watching at him. You could tell Grim was still not want to use it.

"Sorry, Yuki but this is the only thing we can do." He wore to her the collar with a shivered hand.

"That's okay, brother Grim. You don't need to feel guilty because you're just doing me a favor."

Asarki noticed it, so she stopped blabbering around. "Sorry, Grim let's headed out." She deeply bowed. "I apologize, Chirla."

...

5 minutes had passed, and everyone recovered from the occurrence. The chirping of the birds was passed off, just the breeze that touching upon their skins they could feel.

"One last time, this dungeon is tricky so we need to be careful. Grim make me a party leader in this time." Asarki requested.

"Why I should do that?" Yumiro replied without looking at her.

"I'm capable of making a shot call. Also, you already saw my passive skill, which means we can avoid the traps inside." She bowed again her head. "The monster in the maze dungeon is quite stronger, I might not able to fight."

Asarki couldn't fight a single monster, in her mind, if she was the party raid leader she could avoid all the unnecessary scenarios.

"Fine, do what you want. But, I'm warning you don't put any ulterior motives." Yumiro said, then glared at her.

"Yes! I'm not dumb and I know you can easily PK me if you wanted." Asarki walked in front of them. "I didn't know how to say this, but I'm now the party leader here. I could fight, yet I'm not too good so don't expect higher from me. However, our main plan here is to gain exp and find resources, let's go!"

After those words, she opened the function screen and invited Grim to become a party member.

[Asarki invited you to become a party member.]

[Asarki invited Yuki to become a party member]

A double screen appeared right before his eyes, yet Yumiro accepted the invitation without thinking too much.

'Yeah, she's more intellectual than mine. Let's give this job to her.' Yumiro spoke his mind.

Four of them went down to the curvy surface, as they planning to go to the dried yellow-white ground not too far away from them.

"The dungeon entrance is 3 kilometers from our current location. Oh, one thing, Grim. You had an idea why that dungeon was well-known as maze dungeon?"

"No, what is it?" Yumiro asked even he hasn't had any care.

"Unlike the other dungeon, the Barlane dungeon you don't need to defeat the dungeon boss for our to leave this place. However, the downside is no one could complete this dungeon even a high-level adventurer."

"So what are you trying to say?"

"Not too important, but there is a rumor there's a certain place you can find a valuable item. Also called treasure place."

"Oh... That's it." In his mind, he will find any item resource, so he could upgrade one of his items.

"As expected, you're not interested. Still, we don't know what will happen inside."

...

The place was exactly like a forest, as the place was flooded by numerous trees that releasing relaxing essence. 

Seemingly Asarki's party was dropping down to the hill. Where the only thing could see was the green leaves and the partial yellow-white ground.

"Once, we get there. We will just straight forward, and you can see the dungeon entrance." Asarki pointed her index finger into it.

...

20 minutes had passed, Yumiro already has seen different adventurers entering the orange portal.

"It seems it's quite crowded there, Asarki." Yumiro said to her in a cold tone.

"Of course, they are also hoping to find wonderful items inside. What are you thinking? When you went to a certain place you're the only adventurer there? Don't forget this is a game, all the places here are reachable by the others."

"What are you saying? I know, I'm just not comfortable."

Moreover, he admitted Asarki was right no matter how far he goes, adventurers would always reach him.

"Don't hide it, Grim. I already noticed it, you better come along to the NPC than the other adventurers. I didn't know the exact reason, but I can tell." Asarki suddenly chuckled. "Yet, it's personal matters and that's your choice."

"You didn't know what happens." Yumiro mumbled along with a serious expression on his face.

"What is it, brother Grim?" Yuki asked him with acute tone.

"No, don't mind me, Yuki. Let's keep moving, Chirla don't let your eyes lost at her, okay?"

She nodded. "As you wish, Adventurer Grim."

Four of them were standing in the orange portal, even though some of the adventurers watching them around.

"Oh, it's Grim Draigh. I heard he beat the old rogue."

"Yeah, I saw the video clip, he's brutal."

"We should stop messing up with him. Let them went inside."

"They are kidding two adventures and two NPC."

Those were the words of the adventurers, nevertheless, Yumiro won't mind them as long as they would not walk closer to them.

Then suddenly, a man wide with blue hair and an average physique was positioned in front of the entrance.

"Grim Draigh, my friend! It seemed you're lack with party members you could join to us." Malik said cheerfully, as his screen name showed up over his head.

"Grim, did you know him?" Asarki asked while looking at his calm face."

"No, don't let him come closer to me. I'll kill him." Yumiro whispered.

"Come over here, Grim. I really missed you!" Malik said and planning to hug him.

Thud!

As soon as Malik attained 2 meters distance, Asarki barely pushed his armor. "I'm sorry, but Grim doesn't know you."

"He's my friend, stepped aside, sl*t" Malik forcefully tugged Asarki to the place where her back whacked to the tree. "My friend Grim, sorry for that. She's just useless an--"

[Physical transmission]

Malik couldn't complete his words, as Grim Draigh grabbed his face while dashing to the tree.

Boom!

Yumiro slapped Malik's head onto the solid tree, which almost drained its health power.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" A woman who belonged to Malik's raid party yelled.

He just glared at him coldly, then back his eyes to Malik. "Inventory...

In his grasp was the red knife, as he planned to end Malik's VR life in an instant. "Why did you hurt her?"

"Ehem! Ehem! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Malik coughed blood and begged to him with a trembled body.

"Haa!" A man with a sword plan to charge him, but in one looks, it stopped. "No, I can't do it he's different."

However, Yumiro raised the knife to the same level as his chest.

Swish!
