Isaac and Darth entered the part of the forest where the Guilds should have gathered already.
Most of the Golden Crown and Black Arrow members have already gathered, except Queen Diana and King Jonathan.
Darth sighed and rubbed his forehead.
''Where are they?'' Isaac asked curiously.
''Guild Master has a terrible sense of direction. I am not surprised if King Jonathan is feeling very frustrated right now,'' Darth said with a mocking face. He had to suffer every day, now it was time for King Jonathan, and he was enjoying it immensely.
After ten minutes more waiting.
Two figures left the forest.
''We are back!'' Queen Diana said cheerfully, ''You guys were so early!''
Everyone's eyebrow twitched.
King Jonathan looked like a zombie. He was almost dragging his legs behind him.
Darth snorted, 'Weak! I have to deal with this shit for the whole day!'
Queen Diana looked towards Isaac and smiled charmingly, ''Hey, cutie!''
''Hi...'' Isaac replied with an exhausted face.
''N-napkin?'' A shy voice came next to Isaac.
Isaac turned his head and saw Colorful, his real-life classmate holding a napkin.
''Oh, thanks,'' Isaac replied with a smile. He took the napkin and started wiping the dirt from his face.
Colorful smiled and kept standing next to Isaac. She was only around 150cm; even next to Isaac, who is only 170cm, she looked very short.
''Alright, everyone!'' Queen Diana stood in the center of everyone, ''Tomorrow, we will be going to try the Duo Dungeon, but remember one thing... If you aren't sure of survival, give up!''
Everyone nodded.
''Give up?'' Isaac raised an eyebrow.
''You don't know?'' Colorful asked.
''Know what?'' Isaac turned his head towards the adorable girl.
''There are two ways to leave Dungeon, defeat the Dungeon with ordinary means or leave the Dungeon where you came from.''
''Oh...'' Isaac frowned. He didn't have an exit when he went to the Solo Dungeon, 'Loki's tricks...'
He felt more confident now about Duo Dungeon, he wasn't feeling very confident because chances of dying are high, but if they can leave at any time, then it's not too bad.
But, if they are able to leave is the question.
*Clap*
King Jonathan clapped his hands which gathered everyone's attention, ''There must be other Guilds trying to beat the dungeon, so the time is key! We have scouts near the Dungeon, and so far, no big Guild has entered it, which means they must be trying tomorrow as well!''
Everyone listened closely. Getting First Clear is a great honor, but it is also extremely difficult.
Millions of players are trying to get the First Clear, but only one Duo will be able to get it.
''Level up with your Duo! Try to increase your level as much as you can!''
Everyone nodded, and most of them had already left with their Duo's.
Darth turned his head towards Isaac and said, ''Exploring is over. We have already mapped the safe zones and danger zones, so most of them are trying to focus on leveling up.''
''How far did they explore?'' Isaac asked.
Before Darth could answer, Colorful cheerfully replied, ''We have mapped all the way to the level 30 spawn spots.''
''Wow.'' Isaac looked impressed.
Darth frowned while looking at Colorful, ''What are you doing here, shorty? Shoo shoo, Wraith and I have the stuff to do.''
''I am not short!'' Colorful screamed.
Isaac scanned her short body, which made Colorful embarrassed.
''I-I will grow!''
''And pigs fly,'' Darth said and started dragging Isaac away.
Colorful puffed her cheeks and stormed towards her Duo, GreenFlower.
''Do you know her?'' Darth asked while walking deeper inside the forest, ''You two seemed close.''
''She is actually my classmate,'' Isaac replied.
''Really?'' Darth looked surprised, ''Small world.''
Isaac chuckled and nodded, ''Indeed.''
Darth looked at Isaac's face and said aloud, ''You must be popular, right?''
''Not really,'' Isaac replied. He had a lot of friends, but most of them stopped talking to him after his incident, not even asking if he was alright.
He thought it was weird that even Oliver didn't ask if he was alright, but now he knows the reason.
He received a lot of messages from Amelia, but he blocked her number without even looking at the messages.
''Fine, I will ask from Colorful!'' Darth said with a smug grin.
''Fine...'' Isaac sighed and scratched his head, ''I won Junior National Championships in Skiing.''
''Wow.'' Darth looked impressed, ''That's impressive.''
''I did quit it, though,'' Isaac said with a sad smile.
''Why? Skiing is a quite popular sport.'' Darth asked curiously.
Isaac sighed, ''I got bored...''
''Bored?''
He nodded, ''I liked the rush I felt while Skiing, but once I got used to it... It made me very bored, and I stopped after the Championships.''
''I wish I was even half as talented as you.'' Darth lamented.
''it's not rainbows and sunshine... Most of the people think that I was born as Genius, but no one cared about the effort I put in.''
Darth saw Isaac's face turning sad, ''You alright?''
Isaac was about to reply, but then a loud sound echoed in the forest.
*BANG*
Isaac widened his eyes. He grabbed Darth from his collar and pulled him out of the way.
Darth looked confused, but then he heard something fast going past his head and hitting a tree.
''AMBUSH!'' Isaac shouted and hid behind a tree with Darth.
*BANG*
*CRACK*
A bullet pierced through the tree and hit Isaac in the leg!
''AH!'' Isaac looked at his leg, which was bleeding blue liquid.
[You Lost -112 HP!]
''You alright?!'' Darth cried out.
Isaac nodded, ''This place isn't safe! I now know his Class and his Skill! We need to run!'' After those words, he started running like he was possessed. Darth quickly followed behind him.
Darth took a glance behind him and saw individual jumping in the trees, trying to chase after them.
''What are his Class and Skill?!'' Darth asked with a shout.
Isaac took his Flintlock Pistol from his Inventory and said solemnly, ''His Skill is Wall Breaker!''
''And his Class is.... Marksman!''
