Child from the Dungeon

[ In an Unknown Dungeon. ]

A girl fights the monsters using a magic so bright and so wonderful.

" Clarent Star! " the girl uses the magic, vanishing all the monsters around the place.

( The girl had some flashbacks. )

" My daughter, you must be strong. "

" Be stronger than any man. "

" For this is the only way to protect you, my daughter with accursed blood. "

" To protect you from 'that man's wrath. "

...

The girl remembers it all and slashes the last monster from the current Wave*, she opens her hood, revealing her golden long hair that shines over the Dungeon.

* Monsters from the next wave sees in it awe. *

As the monsters are mesmerized, the girl wastes no time and uses [Clarent Star] to obliterate them, a magic blast with great radiance and vaporize.

" May the Stars destroy the very filth you are... " said the girl as she tells the monster, a girl with a face covered by blindfold excluding her mouth.

" So, this is the extend of my Star Magic, for now... "

" This is not, enough... "

" If this continues, then he... " the girl stops as she then hears someone coming into the Dungeon.

" It seems empty here, am I too late? " said the voice from afar.

The girl hears it and flee from the place, hiding nearby as the other person comes to the place.

" Hah, the Dungeon here is so empty, it's already out of Loots. "

" I can't Level Up here. " said the person.

" Who...? " the little girl decides to sensed the person's Mana Presence, she sensed something strange about the person which made her realized she had to open her blindfold, showing her 'unusual eyes', to peek over the coming person.

" Who is that? " the girl asks slowly as he sees a boy, a Pitch-black skin boy with a sharp black hair with blue colored hair in his rear. The Pitch-black boy had white eyes without any pupil, as if the boy was not human at all.

" Ah! " said the boy as he was so annoyed.

" My Leveling here is stuck! " said the boy in rage, he ragingly yells, talking to something the girl can't see as he puts his comments to it.

"( Who is he talking to? a ghost? )" the girl wonders, she thinks the boy is crazy monster from another realm connected by the Gate.

The girl takes a step, but suddenly she steps on something that made a loud voice.

" Who's there!? " the Pitch-black Boy hears it and prepares his weapon, he sees around while the girl stands silent, realizing that walking further might made the boy realizes she's around.

The boy looks around, he scans it, looking for potential threats around him in that empty Dungeon.

< Scanning >

< Scanning >

" Was I dreaming? " ask the boy while he scans around, looking for something that he swears he heard it.

As the boy scans, the girl who hides then blindfolded her eyes again, she hides with the blindfold, fear that the boy may felt the eye's power.

"( These 'Magic Eyes' are filled with tremendous energy. )"

"( If I hadn't covered it with my 'Sealing Blindfold', it's energy would be immediately sensed by him. )" she states, knowing her 'eyes' could be sense if she kept it open.

Using only 'Mana Sense', the girl tracks the boy's movement, wondering if he's still far away.

"( Don't come here, don't come here... )"

"( I need to go home to see Mother's condition. )" said the girl as the boy still search for her.

As the boy searches, he suddenly went frightened, for another loud voice, a loud roar, is heard by his very ears.

< Warning (!) >

" Finally! " the boy grins as he runs, leaving the hiding girl for he went to search for that voice he heard.

" I knew there's going a monster somewhere, hahahaha! " the boy runs with happiness, he goes straight forward to the voice's origin.

" That place... " the girl says, she looks at the boy's direction, opening her blindfold to see clearly.

Seeing it, she remembers her time there, she remembers it's the Dungeon Section where she fought a large beast, a beast whom she sure to be dead earlier.

"( It's still alive? )" she wonders after hearing it, but, she decides to snap it out, she remembers her original priority while touching her robe, to check if she still had the thing.

" Good, with this, Mother shall be pleased. " said the girl for she then flees the place, onward to the place where a 'Gate' still opened.

Before entering the Gate, she stops, remembering the boy who came after her. She thinks for a while if she should lend him a hand. But...

* The boy's laugh can be heard from afar. *

" It seems he's not that weak as I thought. "

" Hell, then why he's in a 'Rare Dungeon' in the first place. " the girl flees inside the Gate and return to her place.

( Meanwhile. )

< EXP Obtained. >

< 319.977/324.000 >

" Argh, so close, so close! " the boy says as he gets pissed off.

" Dammit, I'm getting into Level 32, what the hell is going on, can't my EXP get any higher this night! " says the boy, he really wants to grind many for today, being addicted on improving himself through the System he already had since his birth in the Dungeon.

< " Patience, user Donovan. " >

< " Perhaps your luck is not in this Dungeon. " >

< " Perhaps another time, after all... " >

" Yes, yes... "

" I'm going home... " Donovan obeys the System and leaves the place, leaving unsatisfied as he returned without his primary prize for today, his Level Up to Level 32.

...

( Hours Later. )

[ In a Remote Mansion. ]

* Door opens. *

" Mother, I'm home. " the girl calls her Mother, her mother who hears it then comes down from the stairs.

" Welcome, sweetie. "

" I hope your Raid is good today. " the Mother welcomes her with opens arms.

The girls plunges herself into her mother's arms, they both hugged for how long the girl missed home.

" I missed you, mom. " the girl says.

" 'Missed', it's only been hours since you left, my dear. "

" Why should you had that feeling over you? " the Mother hugs her.

" My dear sweet daughter. "

" Charlotte Antares Clarent. "
