Chapter 63 - Ch 63 : Lawang Sewu

" Lawang Sewu!??" Ray frowned a bit as he heard this name.

The name of Lawang Sewu might not be so popular internationally. However, it is an entirely different case in Indonesia. Even a small kid less than five years old would know about Lawang Sewu if you asked them about it.

To make it simple, Lawang Sewu is a super popular haunted spot in Indonesia.

Like its name, Lawang Sewu was said to have more than a thousand doors inside it and more than a thousand haunted spirits. A few television channels tried to make a program in it, but nevertheless, none of them ended up with a happy ending.

After the awakening, the popularity of haunted spots decreased significantly as most people started to feel that danger-beast were a lot more terrifying than haunted spots. Still, some special haunted spots have mutated and become dungeons, and Lawang Sewu was one of the examples.

Hearing the word Lawang Sewu, Ray's expression couldn't help but turn a bit sluggish. He tried his best to remember every detail he had heard about Lawang Sewu, and then..

" Wait, if I didn't remember wrong, shouldn't Lawang Sewu's Dungeon be cleared a year ago?"

A realization struck Ray. This Topic of Lawang Sewu's Dungeon clear was a pretty hot topic a year ago. That time, the awakened society wasn't as advanced as now, and the casualties of this Dungeon clear could be said to be the highest in all Indonesian awakener's history.

At that time, Indonesia was almost on the brink of destruction.

It was all thanks to the current Jakarta Awakener society president that the exploration was successful.

If not for him holding the vanguard in the dungeon exploration, Indonesia would definitely suffer a supreme catastrophe of the Dungeon Break. There was no other way as the others were not strong enough to clear the Dungeon.

Chills spread all over Ray's body as he still vividly remembers the bloody scene of the awakeners during that exploration which was streamed live on the television.

" *Sigh* Yeah, the Lawang Sewu's Dungeon indeed had been cleared a year ago. But recently, the government found a secret dungeon underground, and they issued the task of clearing the Dungeon to Indonesia's top awakeners. If not for them to hide the information, I definitely wouldn't want you to join this exploration."

Edward's face looked a bit frustrated as he said this. It seems things were also rough for him.

" Actually, I have planned to interrupt a few of your limbs as an excuse so you didn't need to enter the Dungeon. The contract has been finalized, and if not for some special condition, you would definitely be forced to play by the contract. Still, after seeing your power today, I feel pretty relieved as you should at least be able to run away if something were to happen."

" Here, take this. This is the most recent information about the special Dungeon, and you should be prepared for it. We would go two days later, and I don't want to be late there."

Edward threw a stack of information about Lawang Sewu's Dungeon at Ray's hand before he said goodbye to him and disappeared from the abandoned building.

.

[ DING!!! Congratulations to the host for completing the following mission.]

[ Please defeat the man in black and find his true identity. For this, the function appraisal has been turned off.]

[ Reward: Stats point +5]

.

A mission clear notification appeared in front of Ray after Edward left, and a slight smile appeared on his tense face. Even though 5 stats points wasn't that much, it still could help him survive the next dungeon exploration.

Ray, who has received the information from Edward, now didn't have any reason either to stay here. He put the information in his bag and immediately decided to go back to the orphanage.

. . . . . .

In the orphanage, Ray finished dinner with the little guys and quickly returned to his room. He has told Big Sis and the others that he had something to do today and asked them not to disturb him for a while.

At first, Big Sis was a bit worried that something had happened to Ray. Still, after a few persuasion and a kiss on the forehead, Big Sis eventually calmed down and let Ray be.

Ray was currently in his own room. Reading the information that Edward had given him with a helpless expression.

<Lawang Sewu Dungeon>

Difficulties: Suspected to be commander level or above.

Known monster: Kuntilanak, Pocong, Genderuwo, ghost-type danger beast.

Special notes: Suspected to be a special dungeon, as the main Dungeon was cleared a year ago. There was no trace of movement in the Dungeon for a year. However, recently the government has felt a suspicious movement of the Dungeon that may lead to Dungeon Break.

.

The first page revealed the general information about Lawang Sewu's Dungeon, while the next pages explained the monsters suspected to be inside. There were many description about the monsters, from the predicted strength, special moves, weakness or even the testimony of other awakeners that have defeated the monster before.

Still, even after reading a few pages of the information, ray's heart couldn't be calm at all.

' System, is there anything wrong with this dungeon?'

Ray didn't know why, but his danger sense really screamed at the thought of him going to the special Dungeon: Lawang Sewu. 

He remembered that he had been in a few life and death situations before, but none of that time was his danger sense scream as intensely as now.

[ DING!!! The host has been indicated to find a few information about the special Dungeon: Lawang Sewu. Do you want to spend 1000 DM to purchase the basic information of Lawang Sewu special Dungeon?]

*Sigh* what a capitalist system.

Ray scolded the system on his mind. Nonetheless, he still decided to buy the information as he felt that there was something wrong in this Dungeon.

[ DING!!! 1000 DM has been deducted from the host account.]

A rush of information immediately bombarded Ray's mind, and it took him a few minutes to fully stabilize.

Like how its name suggested, the information that the system gave him was truly the basic information of the Dungeon. Still, it was pretty worth it as Ray could get a few more new information.

<Lawang Sewu Dungeon>

Difficulties: Normal monster (Intermediate Commander level), Boss Monster (High General Level)

Known monster: Kuntilanak, Pocong, Genderuwo, Headless female ghost, Decapitator, ghost-type danger beast.

Boss monster: King Genderuwo.

.

The new information itself was only about the specific difficulties of the special Dungeon and the Boss monster. But nevertheless, it could help Ray to prepare for tomorrow.

All of them should be ghost-type monsters, and the Dungeon shop should have some skill or item that could help Ray protect himself.

Ray was ready to go to sleep as he had decided to wake up early and go to Morningwood Dungeon tomorrow. But suddenly, a notification comes at him.

.

[ DING!!! A new mission has been issued to the host.]

[ Clear the Special Dungeon: Lawang Sewu.]

[ Reward: A new Dungeon Guardian*, Random skill box, 30000 DM Currencies.]

[ Penalties: The Dungeon outbreak will happen and kill almost 10% of the Indonesian population.]

[ Take the mission?Y/N]

.

Ray rubbed his eyes as he saw the new mission issued to him. It was not that the reward was unsatisfactory to him.

In fact, the reward could already make Ray salivate. However, when he saw the words in the penalties section, Ray couldn't help but have his determination to accept the mission wavers a bit.

' System, isn't the penalty a bit too harsh? Killing 10% of the Indonesian population just because I failed to complete the mission. It is a bit too much, isn't it?'

[ DING!!! The mission that was issued by the system has been calculated perfectly, and there will be no miscalculation in the offering of the rewards and penalties.]

Ray knew no matter what he said, it wouldn't be able to change the penalties issued by the system. Her heart said to decline, but somehow looking at the bountiful reward, Ray's mind wavered.

It took him a long time contemplating about this before he eventually asked:

' System, if I don't clear this mission, what is the chance of the Dungeon Break?'

In the end, Ray's decision will be decided by this. If the chance of the Dungeon outbreak is still pretty high, he will feel a lot less guilty taking the mission. However, if the system said the dungeon break would only commence if Ray failed to complete the mission, Ray would immediately reject the mission.

Call him a coward, but he couldn't put the life of the 10% Indonesian population at stake from him completing the mission.

[ DING!!! The chance of the Dungeon break was 100%, and the chance to eradicate 10% of the Indonesian population if the Dungeon wasn't cleared is also 100%. No matter what the host decides, the wheel of fate has been rolled, and humanity could no longer resist the heavy tide of fate.]

Ray gulped his salvia as he heard this. But at the same time, he also sighed a relief.

At least no matter what he decided, the dungeon break was imminent, and now he could only try his best to complete the Dungeon.

' System, I accept the mission.'

[ DING!!! The mission has been accepted. Please work hard, host.]

Ray closed the system tab and looked at the moon outside. The moon was so beautiful that no one would expect a terrifying disaster was eyeing Indonesia.

' No, I must do my best to prevent the disaster.. Let's go to sleep soon and quickly go to the Morningwood Dungeon tomorrow to prepare.'
