Chapter 317

After the commotion about the Hrunting, the meeting went without a problem. Each of them knew their roles. Kyle ended the meeting and the other started leaving, except for one. 

"Miriam, I have something to talk about so stay."

"Um, okay."

Miriam turned to Niña and Lane, she waved her hand and the two women glared at Kyle before leaving. 

When they were only the people inside, Kyle started taking off his necktie, he was having a hard time breathing. 

"How's Lemar?"

"He's fine, I talked to him before I left the mansion. He's with Mrs. Hasvolge right now." 

Miriam closed her eyes for a second and confirmed that Lemar was playing with toys and Mrs. Hasvolge was looking at him. 

"Good, now I don't have to worry."

"Worry about what?"

"About you staying for a few hours." 

Kyle said and took off his suit, Miriam started blushing as she realized the situation. 

"You beast."

She murmured and giggled. 

………
……
…

"Huh? What the fuck is this? I think this Item is not here yesterday."

Mikael tilted his head, he just finished Room 52 and he was scrolling down and Store. Mikael could use the Store after killing all of the monsters in Room 50, it was already 210 days since he entered the Hidden Dungeon, this equivalent of a month on the Earth. Within that time, Mikael continued fighting monsters for as long as he could. 

Leveling didn't work in this place, this means that his strength was not improving no matter how many monsters he killed. This was one of the rules that Mikael found, he was actually thinking if he could finish this Dungeon. 

Recently, he would come out of the room with holes in his body, or sometimes he would lose his limbs. The monsters were getting stronger but he was not. 

That's why he decided to check the Store, Maikel kept Kim Soo-Woon's words in his heart. He was saving his coins to buy the best Item that he could. 

Now he had 3892 coins in his Inventories. He didn't know if this was a lot or not since he could not compare it. He didn't even know how many coins Kim Soo-Woon earned when he finished Room 50. He asked Hamlet about it but the clown was oblivious about it, he didn't know too. Furthermore, Hamlet was not in the Hidden Dungeon most of the time. 

Mikael found that Hamlet was watching over the current Awakeners who were participating in the Punishment. He was the assistant of the Game Master. 

So anyway, let's return to his current situation. Mikael scratched his head as he was looking at the most expensive Items in the Store. The Store was a virtual screen and he could use it whenever he was out of the Room. 

Ten Items had the same price and they were the most expensive. It should be nine but a new Item appeared.

1.) Book of Life: Unknown power.

2.) Clock of Time: Sold. Unknown power.

3.) Mjolnir: Unknown power.

4.) Yata no Kagami: Unknown power.

5.) Necklace of Harmonia: Unknown power.

6.) Huliðshjálmr: Unknown power.

7.) Sun Wukong's Magical Headband: Unknown power.

8.) Muramasa: Sold. Unknown power.

9.) Ymir's skull: Unknown power.

10.) Hrunting: Unknown power.

All of them were 9999 coins to buy. They were ten Items to choose but the two were already bought, the Muramasa and Clock of Time. Mikael assumed that these two were bought by Kim Soo-Woon. Particularly, the Muramasa, it was the katana that Kim Soo-Woon used to kill him. 

Mikael didn't know the real power of the Muramasa but he knew that it was powerful. He could deduce that these ten items had powerful abilities just like that katana. 

"It should be nine, but now there's another one added to the list."

When Mikael was scrolling the Store, he already decided that he would buy the Mjolnir. He knew the weapon, it was the legendary hammer from the Norse Mythology. Although Mikael only knew it because he was watching Thor, the Marvel movies. 

He knew that Mjolnir had the power to control the base elements of the storm, which was strongly connected to lightning. That's why he wanted to buy it because it was the Item that he knew the most. As for the others, he didn't have a clue about them. 

However, when the Hrunting appeared on the list, Mikael felt that his lightning reacted. As if the two had a connection already. Mikael narrowed his eyes, the Hrunting didn't have a description. He assumed that it was a sword. 

"Tch, there is no explanation either. All of them have one thing to say, unknown power, that is. What am I gonna do? Guess them?"

He clicked his tongue, he was having a hard time choosing because he assumed that both two weapons had powerful abilities. However, he didn't know what was best for him. If he looked at it, Mjolnir was the best choice because he knew a lot of stuff about it.

"But this feeling, just like the time when I met the Void Spear and Sigurd Sword, it's reacting again…"

Those two weapons were the reason why he was still alive, they were powerful weapons merged into one. The Hrunting was giving him the same vibe just like the two.

His power has unknown potential and he wasn't sure if this power was the reason why he have this gut feeling that was telling him to choose the Hrunting. He scratched his head and yelled. 

"Haaah!!! I will think about it when I have enough coins. After all, my goal is still the same. I have to eradicate the monsters in each Room and earn coins. I will face this problem when it's time to face it."

He nodded. It was foolish to think about this. It could disturb his concentration on finishing this Dungeon. For now, he had two Items to think about. The Mjolnir and the Hrunting. 

"9999 coins, huh. Let's see how far I can go to earn that." 

He grinned and imagined the weapon in his hands.
