Chapter 301

"Are you really sure you want to go? We can still get stronger by leveling, you don't have to gamble and go in that unknown Dungeon."

Niña asked, she was staring at Mikael who was packing some belongings with concern. Niña and Furrneka were helping him. However, for the last time, she wanted to stop Mikael. It was dangerous to risk his life in a place that nobody knows, in a place that no one could reach him. 

"Niña don't worry, I'll be fine."

The three already talked about this, in the end, Mikael wanted to go inside the Hidden Dungeon. Furrneka and Niña were against this but they could not prevent Mikael from doing what he wants. 

"I asked Miriam about the Hidden Dungeon, she said that it was filled with ominous presence, and she sensed dangerous creatures inside."

Perhaps Kyle had more information about the Hidden Dungeon but Niña did not want to ask him, she would rather die than ask for his help. 

Mikael gave Niña a peck to calm her, the woman swallowed her discontent. 

"I witnessed how you did your best, and I want to do my best too. I feel like that Hidden Dungeon is calling me."

"And here we are again about that intuition of yours."

"What can I say, my intuition always saves me."

Mikael chuckled. 

"Sometimes it brought you difficulties too."

Niña replied while packing five years of supply of food and water. Most of them had a long period of expiration. Niña put them in an expansion box that has a size of a palm. It was amazing how technology improved since the Awakening started. 

Mikael checked his Item then glanced at Furrneka. She was pouting but she kept her quiet.

"Furrneka? What's the problem?"

"Me too."

"Hm?"

"Give me a kiss too!"

Mikael shrugged and gave her a kiss, it tastes so sweet. However, Furrneka won't settle for a simple kiss. She moved her tongue and their kiss became passionate.

"Oi, oi. Don't steal my man."

Niña clicked her tongue and pulled Mikael towards her, she kissed him to erase the scent of another woman. 

Their lips parted, Niña bit her lip while staring at Mikael. 

"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you? In terms of level, I'm higher than you. I can help you."

"Me too. I don't want to let you go. We are Kampi, wherever you go, I will follow you."

Both women said their opinions. In all honesty, they were anxious. Mikael is strong but it does not mean that he will not die. In fact, he almost died in Rio. Furrneka and Niña didn't want that to happen to a place that they can't reach. 

On top of that, they are anxious because Mikael is prone to be in near-death situations. As if the grim reaper was always around him and waiting for him to die. No matter how much they tried to hide their emotions, it would always appear because their love for Mikael was vast.

"Thanks, guys."

Mikael smiled, he was happy to see that Niña and Furrneka are worried about him. It means a lot, seeing them sad was making him sad and happy at the same time. He could proudly say that he has a family waiting for him when he returns. 

Something swell in his heart, he hugged both of them and kissed their heads. 

"I will miss you."

"Me too."

"I will miss you."

They were already old to control their emotions, but sometimes, even adults cried when their loved ones went into distant land and it would take years for them to return. (This is true, I cried when my father went to Saudi Arabia for two years.)

The first who broke down was Furrneka, her hands tightly gripping Mikael's t-shirt. She leaned against his chest and sobbed, she was going to miss him. Mikael tapped her head to make her at ease. 

"You have to return, no matter what."

Niña said while having a cracked voice, she was holding her tears. Mikael smooched her hand, he did not want to see her sad. 

"Don't worry, I will return. When I come back, I hope that I will see both of you."

"We will."

"Wait for me."

……….
……
…

Before this moment of tears. 

Mikael received a call from Kyle. At first, he was on alert when he heard his voice. Their last meeting was quite bad, he almost smashed his face. 

Their conversation started awkwardly but Mikael was the type who easily get warm to others, they started laughing and talking without a problem. 

However, Mikael was still waiting for Kyle's true intention. Mikael knew that Kyle won't talk to him without a reason. This man always had a reason whenever he moves uncertainly. 

"I guess you are curious why I call you."

"I'm actually happy that you call me. Although I know that you have another reason, you won't call me just to ask about my life. You are not the type to do that. Still, I appreciate your concerns for asking me about my life. I'm having a good life with my soon-to-be wives."

"Eh? So Niña agreed to share you."

"They talk about it. They still have disagreements but overall their relationship is nice. I'm happy that they are trying to get along. I'm not a saint, but I'm probably not a devil either. Overall, I want to marry them both, I love both of them."

Sometimes he would hear them bickering about who's the first and second wife. 

"You are crazy."

"I know."

Their conversation had a pause and Kyle decided to start talking. 

"Mikael I want you to enter a Dungeon."

"…"

Mikael did not answer. He already expected that Kyle would ask him about a difficult job that only a person like him could do. Just like the old times, Kyle would use him again. Although Mikael was kind of happy. He grinned. 

"I'm happy that you trust me again, enough to ask for my help."

"Yeah, I'm sorry for not putting my trust in you."

"No problem, I know that you are foolish. Anyway, so what is this Dungeon? Is it going to be fun, are there Legendary Creatures inside or something?"

Blood boiled inside him, he knew that he would have another trial to conquer. He grinned and it was crazy, much different from his usual smile. He was grinning so wide that the corners of his lips almost reached his ears, he was excited, eager, and thirsty for blood, real blood. Not those blood from the monsters he killed in a Dungeon, he knew that Kyle could give him what he wanted. The thrill of fighting with his life at stake. 

"I see, it seems like we have an understanding."

Mikael was tired of fighting bleak monsters, he wanted to kill a real MONSTER. He was releasing pressure, he was getting ready.
