Chapter 50 49. A Hotel Lobby!
It took them a few minutes to reach the dungeon thanks to Dirt's extraordinary teleportation skill. Even though Shane could see his stats, he still found it marvelous when the robot used that skill for the first time, and Shane accidentally managed to open the stats info of the skill.

"Woah, your skill is awesome!" Those words automatically burst through Shane's mouth when they reached their destination. The five of them were just standing in the corridor a moment ago, and when they blinked, they were already standing surrounded by trees, in front of a cave. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
Tess raised her brows, "You can see his skill window?"
Shane stiffened. He glanced at Frank and Jake beside his sister and frantically shook his head. Even though they were his group mates, he still felt strange sharing his powers with others. After the previous experience, he wanted to be cautious around the people he knew.
He would explain this to Tess on another day when they were alone. At this time, he just wanted to keep the ability to see other people's stats to himself. After all, it was still strange to be able to peek at other people's powers.
No one wanted their powers to be revealed like him. So for now, it was better for him to hide his abilities, especially the dark energy thing. Still, he felt bad for not telling Frank about it.
So he opened his mouth and said, "Of course not. Do you think I'm a God?"
Tess scoffed and ignored her brother as she glanced at the mouth of the cave. There was a round portal of light blue color. Electric energy flickered now and then, making it look like a wormhole.
The portal was all too familiar. Shane narrowed his gaze as he stared at the round thing at the mouth of the cave entrance. He had a bad feeling in his heart when he glanced at it.
Last time too, something like this had appeared, but the color immediately changed that time without being noticed. So this time, Shane didn't want to be tricked by the little blue color again. He wanted to be ready to face any challenges thrown at his face.
After thinking like this, he took a deep breath and said, "Get your weapons ready. We are going in."
None of the people had any other thoughts. Dirt opened his mouth and said, "I'll be staying here and monitoring you guys from the outside. If I find any issues, I'll immediately teleport for help."
Shane didn't say another word this time. When he didn't know anything about Dirt's stats, he used to treat the robot really like some dirt placed on the ground that he didn't need to focus too much on, but now….
Things had changed. He couldn't take that robot for granted. He deliberately ignored Dirt as he started walking toward the portal. The latter could tell what was going on as he saw the boy walking stiffly. He smirked and said, "I'm powerful, ain't I?"
"Shut up!" Shane glanced at Tess and said, "Let's go."
After that, the four of them entered the dungeon without hesitation. Dirt sighed as he shook his head and stood in front of the portal. He pulled out a window as he started typing something.
He looked exactly like a hacker who had too much work at hand while typing continuously with the help of a holographic keyboard that hovered in the air below the window.
Inside the portal, as soon as they entered, they ended up coming across a hotel lobby filled with different people. Some of the tourists had colorful dresses on their bodies as they entered the lobby after Shane and his group with their backpacks while heading toward the receptionist in front of them.
The lobby looked exactly like that of a costly place filled with new and exquisite furniture. Everything was either in steel gray or in white color with shades of black. It was just that the language that the people spoke couldn't be understood easily.
Everyone was stunned. Even though Shane couldn't be called poor, his family wasn't that rich to afford to book a room at such a posh hotel. This was the first time he had entered such a place despite being a social butterfly in his past life.
Tess whistled as she leaned toward her brother, "This is a dungeon?"
Shane shook his head, "I don't know. It should have been a dungeon."
"Let's go and see what happens," Jake spoke, all of a sudden.
Shane instantly turned around and glared at the newcomer, "I don't need to ask you for that. I was going to head over to the receptionist."
Jake shrugged, "I was just saying we don't have much of a choice."
"Shut it," Shane finally turned and walked toward the receptionist. As soon as he reached the desk, the beautiful lady raised her head and the smile on her face froze. Her eyes widened when she glanced at Shane and his team as she stood up to her feet.
Then she yelled unknown words at the top of her voice as if she had been frightened to death.
Shane looked at the scene in front of him and tilted his head. He glanced around only to find that all the tourists who were chit-chatting a while ago froze and stared at the group without blinking their eyelids.
The scene was so creepy that Shane felt a chill down his spine as he took a deep breath, "I need a room."
It was just an excuse. He wanted to see what was going on here by trying to make an excuse.
Sure enough, the receptionist trembled after hearing his voice. Suddenly, her eyes turned red as black veins started to appear on her face. Her hands cracked and split into many hands coming out from her elbows, making her look extremely strange and horrific. Her tongue grew further and split similar to that of a snake's tongue.
Hair scattered all over her head as she growled at Shane and his group.
Shane turned around only to find that everyone else had gone through a similar change. They transformed into strange creatures with snake tongues and several hands, looking horrific and disgusting at the same time.
"W-What the heck is this….?" Tess was the first one among them to break the silence as she huddled closer to her brother. Strange creatures surrounded them on all sides.
