Chapter 9 Unique Skill, [Sacrifice]

Under the orange glow of the setting sun, students walked out of the school gate with their friends while chatting.

Alex and Kris also left the school and are now walking in the direction of Alex's house.

"Are you really planning to follow me to my house?" Alex asked while looking at Kris with furrowed brows.

"Yeah, why, you won't allow me?" Kris asked with a fierce look on her face.

Shaking his head, Alex replied, "No, I was just wondering why a rich girl like you seems so interested in my dilapidated house."

"Isn't it because I want to know more about my friend!" Kris said as if it was a matter of fact.

Hearing that, Alex did not linger on the topic anymore.

The two chatted about topics that people their age usually talk about such as games, shows, gossip, etc.

Mostly, it was just Kris who talks while Alex just listens to her.

After walking for less than 10 minutes, Alex's house finally came into view.

Walking for a little more, they arrived at the house without any problem.

"Hu~, it was hot outside." Kris said before taking a seat at the sofa nearby.

Alex glanced at her, fanning herself with her hand and asked, "Do you want some water?"

"Yes, please!"

Alex grabbed 2 glasses of cold water and also opened the only electric fan in his house, pointing it to Kris.

Feeling the cool air, Kris closed her eyes and enjoyed it, "Ahh~ that's much better."

Alex handed her the glass of water before sitting down on another chair not far away.

"So this is your house, huh." Kris said, observing the small house while sipping some cold water.

Alex nodded, "Yeah, I apologize if it looks dirty and small."

Kris hurriedly shook her head, "No! Actually, your house is very clean and to be honest, I would prefer a smaller house rather than a big house."

When she said that, there was a hint of sadness on her face.

Alex looked at her for a while without saying anything and silence permeated the atmosphere.

In the end, Alex let out a carefree smile and said, "Is that so? Since it's like that, you can visit here anytime, you're welcome to my house."

Kris' eyes lit up with excitement, "Really?! Then don't mind if I do. I'll probably visit you everyday if I can!"

The sadness on her face disappeared and was replaced by a beaming smile that seems to brighten up the surroundings.

"Oum, just make sure not to damage anything. Everything here is precious to me."

A serious look covered Kris' face and she said, "Don't worry, I won't!"

After that, the two chatted for quite some time before Kris finally decided to go home.

At the doorway, Alex stood, watching Kris walk towards a black car that appeared unknowingly a while ago.

"Bye, Alex, it was nice that you brought me to your house. I will visit again. See you tomorrow!"

Kris said, waving her hands at Alex before boarding inside the car.

Alex also waved his hands at her for a while until the car disappeared into the distance.

Watching the car disappear in sight, Alex smiled, "Now that she's gone, it's now time for me to go to Kupido Town!"

Turning around, Alex went back inside his house.

Then with a thought, he disappeared magically.

When he appeared again, he found himself in the alley that he disappeared to yesterday.

"I really appeared where I was last located yesterday."

"Since it's like this, I should only travel through dimensions in a safe location. That way, it will be safer for me."

While thinking of that, Alex left the alley.

What he didn't know is that a few thugs from yesterday have been watching the alley where he left since he disappeared last time.

One of the thugs squinted his eyes while looking at Alex who left the alley.

"Just like we thought, that guy appeared again in that alley."

Another thug who seems to be his lackey asked, "Boss, what should we do now?"

"What else? Of course, you should follow him!"

"Okay, boss!"

Hearing that, the lackey and a few other thugs left, going towards the direction Alex went.

…

Walking down the streets, Alex is heading to the property that he bought yesterday.

Since it was near the slums, the property is not far away from the outer gate of the city.

But since the Golden House is located near the center of the city, it took Alex 15 minutes of walking before he arrived at the location.

"I'm finally here."

Looking at the old building in front of him, Alex can't help but let out a sigh.

"It looks just like the image shown in the photo crystal!"

After looking at it for a while outside, Alex entered inside the building.

When he did so, an alarm suddenly sounded in his head and a screen interface appeared in front of his eyes.

[Ding!]

[Hint: You have entered into your territory, Old Building, would you like to designate it as your dungeon?]

[Yes / No]

Seeing the screen in front of him, Alex smiled and pressed 'yes' without hesitation.

Suddenly, the old three-storey building glowed with light.

From the outside, since the sun is still out at this time, the light emitted by the building wasn't obvious.

After the light died down, another notification sounded in Alex's head.

[Hint: Congratulations, you acquired the Unique skill [Sacrifice]!]

Seeing that, Alex was suddenly filled with excitement!

But before he even got the chance to celebrate, the screen changed again and a similar panel to the attribute screen appeared.

[Owner: Zero]

[Dungeon: Old Building]

[Level: 1]

[Residents: 1 (Zero)]

[Dungeon Points: 0]

…

Alex looked at all this with a big smile plastered on his face.

"Finally, I got my most awaited Unique skill!"

"I can't wait to see what it can do!"

Saying that, Alex hurriedly opened his attribute panel to view the details of his new skill, Sacrifice.
