She was very excited. I only just managed to keep her from hugging me and giving me a kiss.
“Thank you… Thank you so much!” She said. “Then, we should go immediately, but we must sneak there. If anyone in town knows where we are going; they’re going to stop us immediately.”
“Celeste can muffle our movements, right?” I looked over at my girls.
She crossed her arms, “As Master commands, Celeste obeys!”
Did I do something to make the girls angry at me? I really wasn’t doing this because Carmine was just another pretty face. I honestly agreed with her. And, if I could destroy that withered lore and get a few dungeon points, that would be good too. However, I went through it in my head a few times just to be sure, and I wasn’t doing this because she was a pretty girl who needed my help. Right?
“Come,” she grabbed my hand. “We go out the back way.”
I was pulled out the door before I could say anything to the girls. Now was a bad time anyway. It was night now, and I could hear the distant beating of some drums. It seemed to be what Carmine had said. They were setting up and surrounding the city tonight, and wouldn’t attack until after that was done.
Carmine lead the way, literally holding my hand the entire time. I wasn’t blushing! It was just hot outside! My heart wasn’t beating crazily because an innocent girl in trouble with an ability like mine was now depending on me and holding my hand. That’s crazy talk!
Carmine really seemed to know her way too. She ducked smoothly, avoiding the patrols as if she had already paced this route before and was now just doing the timing she had already perfected in her head. Within five minutes, we were standing in front of a locked room. It appeared to be the mayor’s office. Without missing a beat, Carmine pulled out a key and unlocked it. She ushered us inside. After we were out of the public eye, I gave her a look.
“I had copies of the mayor’s keys made.” She said, “Just in case…”
I was starting to suspect that she had wanted an excuse to get the guardian for a while now, and the Bandit King was just one in a long line of excuses she had used.
We ended up heading down a flight of stairs, and it was in the basement that we finally saw the massive doors to the dungeon. These were chained up with large thick chains, but it looked like Carmine had acquired the keys to this as well. The chains noisily fell to the floor. She opened the door, and a wave of stagnant air washed over us. The dungeon was really like the maw of a mouth waiting to eat you. If we entered, I’d be back in a dungeon again. Of course, we were packed for a long journey and she had assured us this wouldn’t even take that long, but it still left me feeling a bit anxious.
“Come on…” She didn’t hesitate to light a candle and then dive right into the room.
I turned back to my three women. In the dark, I couldn’t see their expressions.
“I want you to know… if you don’t want to do this… we can turn away.”
I suddenly felt myself being hugged by three women.
“We know, Master…”
“This is just Master’s way.”
“Master doesn’t need to say it…”
I felt three kisses on my cheeks, and then the girls pushed me back through the door.
{You have entered Terra’s Dungeon.}
This whole situation is disgustingly contrived, even more so than the rest of what has been written believe it or not. It reads like a grade school story. Don't write like the micro machine man talks.
He knew she have charm up but still ignoring that he get charmed. He really need the charm resist
Well I'm dropping this It's so frustrating to read the first dungeon was OK it was plausible for the situation, but the second one was so ret*rded MC was just killing himself for fun and after all that sh*t he didn't learn at all he just keep waltzing into bullsh*t after bullsh*t and now this nah I'm good.
i have to said that the way you wrote this novel its good, but these chapter are too short. sometimes its good, but you have been doing it several days. i dont think that you would change it soon but 20 lines more should give us a little more to your readers
To my paying fans on my site, I release 3 chapters a day. Just saying...
Awww, giving some love. Hehehe thanks for the chapter
got to say author can and does write/makes AMAZING Worlds/Settings but... Makes MC/Protagonist just BARELY not as horrible as DxD's Issei in that MCs like HIM completely and utterly RUIN a story making only FFs okay/good, all because most KNOW how horribly Issei as a character is but that literally everything else is good/usable.
And THIS MC/Protag is only just BARELY above that, which is so low of a bar it's not even funny. I'll give some reasons as to why.
The MC DOES NOT LEARN period! Nor does he even actually try to grow as a person/character. He has been there for MONTHS now and has been near constantly "Fighting" and KNOWS this World has a LOT of dark stuff yet again DOES NOT even try to protect himself or those he claims to deeply care about. He often seems to treat everything/everyone like it/they aren't actually "Real" but instead a story/game OR as if others were raised even remotely close to how he was on Earth in a 1st World Country, or sometimes like what he THINKS a 3rd World Country would be like... These are just a few problems that even after he has been told/shown/experienced AND/OR thrown directly IN HIS FACE! He himself STILL has NOT changed/grown in anyway as a person/character.
All of this makes the story SCREAM that the MC is nothing but "Because Plot That's Why." Not even trying to write any kind of believable MC. It reads as a 5 year old say that HE is stronger than Superman because his favorite color is Green so that makes him Krytonite to Superman so he is stronger... That's a child's pretend logic and not any kind of actual factual logic.
Which sadly a lot of stories tend to do, but most at least TRY and make it a bit more believable, or just go the other way making those stories Comedies instead.
Now as I said before literally everything else about both THIS and the authors other stories are amazing especially the World-Building, but just that the MC/Protag is just a small step above making the whole story just not worth suffering to read. And that's at the same level of Machine Translated CN Novels... The ones were you just HAVE to turn your brain off some otherwise it literally can't be read because it isn't even actual sentences, or what genders characters are because it changes He/She and Him/Her around every other time.
Man.. quality really is dropping. You can plainly see that the mc is getting progressively more stupid.
"Oh she has a charm skill or 2"
*lets himself get touched by charm user 3 paragraphs later
Seriously? QUIT BEING LAZY
Not really? He's a introverted high schooler with limited social skills. A new experience can really overload your brain.
@OldSoul211 nah,the author is getting lazy
