Sen hadn't been very thrilled at the idea of trying to get back into the dungeon, but the being explained to him that he could just enter it from any places.
That had really relieved him, he wasn't ready to try and enter a dungeon occupied by the Hunter Guild. The clans were without a doubt regarded much better than the Hunter Guild, but it was simply because of how scary this organisation was. There was a reason as to why the President of the guild could just say no to all the clans without having them complain.
They couldn't do anything against the Hunter's Guild, not because it was affiliated with the government, but because it was mysterious. No one knew just how powerful it's high ranking members were, especially the President.
And so Sen was happy to find out he could just enter the dungeon from his room. The whole process was fairly simple too.
" Extend your arm in front of you, turn your arm so the back of your hand faces the ground and repeat after me." The being started explaining. Sen followed the steps immediately after the being explained them, and that was because he was insanely excited. He actually had a chance to become much more powerful than he could ever dream of, and the being hadn't lied when it said that he was power hungry.
"Eslem Finim."
'..What ? Isn't that the same thing the secret boss said ? What the hell does that even mean ?!' Sen wondered. Given how really impatient the being was, he wasn't about to ask anything about this sentence and it's meaning....But he would ask later, when the being wasn't clicking it's tongue and tapping it's fingers on Sen's desk.
"E-Eslem Finim....Did I say it rig-"
Sen had no time to finish his sentence. In a flash of blinding light, the whole world spun around him until he started to hear the chirping of birds and the sound of a river.
He slowly opened his eyes and gasped.
"You...You really weren't joking when you said it was fast !" He exclaimed as the being snorted.
"Damn right I wasn't kidding. Now let's get to your throne room, little Overlord. We have much to do !" It said before it started running towards the main structure of the dungeon.
"Huh ? Why the hell are you running ?! Waiiiiit !" Sen yelled while running after it. It was quite creepy to see the being's foot prints on the ground without actually seeing it, but he was doing his best to ignore that.
They quickly arrived at the main structure, but the being suddenly put a hand over Sen's mouth and pushed him against a wall.
"Sorry about that, gotta make sure you don't make noises or some shit like that. I did tell you the Hunter's Guild had deployed people inside the dungeon." The being said in a small voice. Sen nodded and it removed it's hand.
"But....Now that I think about it...What if they actually clean the dungeon ? They could say they had to kill the secret boss for some random reason and no one would be able to tell them anything." Sen said as it dawned on him.
"Of course you dumbass. That's why I told we had to get here quickly before they killed your secret boss. That organisation prevented everyone from entering the dungeon so they could finish it themselves. They already knew nothing was wrong with the dungeon, but since they control the informations, they can simply lie. Although the question remains...What has got them so interested in this dungeon ? The Secret Boss is kinda strong, that much is true...But isn't that organisation like...Really busy ?" The being asked while it looked over the wall like Sen.
They watched the agents of the Hunter's Guild explore the main structure. Weirdly enough, none of them had any armours or weapons. They were all wearing their usual grey suits. All of them were standing against the walls, looking in straight in front of them. It looked a bit like a procession, as if they were waiting for someone important to pass by.
And indeed, it was the case. The giant doors of the throne room opened and a figure walked out. It had a rope in it's hand, a rope attached to a massive thing the figure dragged behind it.
' Isn't that....A head ?!' Sen thought before starting to panic, as did the being who immediately realized whose head it was.
"This is the secret boss' head...They killed it already. Dammit, this is gonna be harder than I thought." It said before once again looking over the wall.
Sen and the being were then able to have a clearer look at the being as it approached, and whoever it was....They certainly looked strong enough to take out such a monster, even though every hunters stronger than B rank had amazing armors, accessories and outfits. This one though only had an amazing armor, even if it was a bit light and didn't cover his whole body.
He had bits of dark blue armor on most of his body except for the stomach, the arms and the legs. One could see what they were wearing under that armor, a classy black smoking jacket with pants to match. They also dragged behind a long black red with blue edges and a fur hood. The hood hid the face of that person, but it's short dark blue hair that kinda peeked out of the hood and it's very muscular body led Sen to believe it was a man. Not only that, but they were actually really tall...Like nearly two times taller than Sen who was 1m60.
All in all, that person was insanely imposing but they also had something that only the being caught on.
"Oi, I'm going to grab your shoulder, don't you move even slightly. That guy could detect us." The being said as Sen nodded.
They both watched as the figure walked alongside the long corridor, the agents following behind with matching footsteps. The noise was started to get really loud, and they sounded more like an army than anything else. In the end...They could be counted like one. Korea's Hunter Guild was known to be very belligerent, greedy and most importantly.....Dangerous to all those who didn't respect it's authority.
After the figure and the agents left, the being waited a few minutes before finally letting go. Then it urged Sen to move fast.
"I'm not feeling really confident right now, we should move our asses. As long as we get inside the throne room, nothing bad could happen to us...Well as long as they don't turn around for some reasons." It said before running once more.
This time Sen ran even faster than the being and they both reached the throne room quickly.
Once inside, the being dragged Sen to the throne and forced him to sit on it. It was then that a screen popped up right in his face.
"Wow ! The hell is this ?!.....Command panel ?" Sen asked, trying to decipher what was written on the screen, but it just had so many icons he was lost.
The being tapped one of the icons and snorted.
"This sounded much simpler than it actually is. Anyway, this is your command panel. From here, you'll be able to control your dungeon. You'll be able to access it from anywhere in the future, but for now it's only from this place. Oh and that tattoo on your hand will shine whenever the dungeon needs you....Wait a second, might want to reduce the number of possible alerts or else your hand is gonna turn in a christmas tree real fast." The being said as it clicked on icons and maneuvered through the menu like a pro. Sen followed every steps closely and felt like he had a basic understanding of how it worked.
It still looked insanely completed, so he was happy he had a guide for this. A guide who sounded like it was also very confused by this command panel, but at least it knew how to operate it a bit.
"Right so....This is the main menu. The others are either still locked or they are pretty useless unless an alert pops up on them. Here you got information on your dungeon and you can select the upgrades you want to apply to it. You don't have any upgrades for now though. Upgrades are pretty much anything you can add to the dungeon by the way. Now the important things to remember are those icons right here...Yes those numbers. That one shows how many more creatures you can put in your dungeon. Those ones tells you the basic ressources you have, so things like food and water. This dungeon has way too many rivers anyway so we won't have any problems for water. " The being explained.
Sen was doing his best to follow, but after some time he became tired of just listening. He 'grabbed' the screen and started to operate himself.
"I'll learn faster if I just do things myself. Just make sure I don't fuck up everything." Sen said, giving the being a grin. It merely chuckled, making Sen blush once more as the chuckle came from his right...While he was looking at his left.
"Well...You can operate it all you want, but I got a few more things to say. After that you'll be able to play with your command panel. Firstly...We have no creatures and you can't get points since your dungeons contains jack shit. So you'll have to get into dungeons yourselves...Which means beating dungeons with your current weak ass. Secondly, I need to remind you that this dungeon is currently closing. As such don't be dumb enough to click this icon right here and open it again right away. People will get hella suspicious if you do so. Thirdly, I think you've noticed the 'area' icon. You can choose an area for your dungeon to spawn in, but you'll have to visit it before that. Basically you go to a country and then you can put the dungeon there. This will make sure the people from your country don't get too suspicious from your dungeon spawning again and again...It will happen at some point, but we'll make sure it happens only in a loooooong time."
With that said, the being was done and allowed Sen to do whatever he wanted with the command panel. He quickly noticed a few interesting things. He could open some sort of inventory that was basically his treasury, which meant he didn't have to put things in his treasury by....Well...GOING to the treasury.
Now he also noticed something that looked like a character sheet from an rpg.....It was his character sheet and it had troubling details. It actually contained informations he himself didn't know. Like his path ( AN: His class basically. Yes classes are called paths. Some people will call them classes because games have had an impact on that world like in ours. ) or even his species....And that's when things started to get weird for him.
Previously he just thought he was a random dude, alcoholic and weak. But now things were about to take a huge turn in his life...From now on things would move fast and wouldn't stop until a long time.
It all came down to the moment he saw what his path and species
He was Seneos.....A Jack of All Trades and a half-human half-specter...Whatever a specter was.
"Hmm...What's going on, why do you look so damn pale ?" The being asked before looking at the command panel itself. It's reaction cemented the idea in Sen's mind, that this specter thingy meant a lot of troubles.
"Y-Y-You're...You're a goddamn specter ?!"
