“And what did you find in the dungeon?” The other man asked.

“A lot of beaten and bloody people running away from it. But no Sung Jin-Woo,” I said with a sigh as I looked out the window. “As I followed where people were running from I came to this weird room. All these statues around this...altar or dais? Sung Jin-Woo was bleeding out on top of it.” I turned to them, my eyes wide. “Hunter Sung Jin-Woo! Is he alive?!” I moved to get up, Mr. Kim waved his hand.

“He is fine. In the next room in fact. What happened next?”

“I don’t remember. I saw some weird writing,” I said, hopeful that was truth enough.

“And Hunter Hancock Byuen?” The other man asked.

“Who?” I asked. I knew who she was but I didn’t know she was a Hunter.

“Hancock Byuen is an A-Rank Hunter in our Hunter Guild. She was found with Sung Jin-Woo and you. Completely naked and knocked out,” Mr. Kim said. His Energy poured out worry, anger, and more than a little lust. He had a crush on her.

“Of course,” I said, annoyed. Not from the man’s crush, that came with the territory of marrying a beautiful woman. No, Hancock won the lottery again. A-Class Hunters were very rare. It seemed no matter what world I went to she rolled a 20 on backstory. Then again she had a shitty childhood in One Piece world. It was good she had some luck in other lives.

“I don’t remember seeing her there when I got to the room...” I studied the men. “Is that why I was handcuffed?” I asked.

“Yes,” Mr. Kim said. “When we came upon you three, she was naked and bloody. She kept cursing your name in her sleep. We assumed...the worst. She has since woken up and said she does not remember anything.”

“Good. Is she alright?”

“Yes,” Mr. Kim said. I would have to summon her later.

“What now?” I asked.

“First, you should know that you have been asleep for 3 days,” the other man said. The news was a surprise, but I took it in stride. “Normally you would be fined for entering a dungeon you weren’t approved for. But we believe that the Dungeon had a Rank-up.”

I knew what a Rank-up was from my past life. Dungeon Portal strength was able to be analyzed by magical strength. Rating the portal they were able to rightfully judge what ranks and quantities of Hunters would be needed to clear the dungeon safely. A Rank-Up was a rare event where the magical reading was wrong. The room with the statues had been a far harder task for those present to deal with.

“But we believe that you, Hunter Byuen, and Hunter Jin-Woo have been subjected to something never seen before.”

“Why’s that?” I asked.

The other man set his suitcase on my bed. The suitcase was thick. He pulled out a portal Magic Power Detector. Gold base, there was a purple gem at the center of the base and a small screen attached to it.

“If you put your hand on this, you will see,” he said. I didn’t hesitate to do so. He frowned as the screen beeped and turned it around to show me. It read 10.

“But I’m D-Rank, my magic energy should be...” I said slowly. It should have been a lot higher.

“Exactly. Both you and Hunter Byuen have become E-Rank Hunters for some reason. Whatever test you went through, you seem to have failed,” Mr. Kim said. I nodded, looking at the number as I shrugged.

“Oh well,” I said. I guessed that becoming a Player started us at Level 1, so I wasn’t too surprised.

“You are...taking this better than we assumed,” Mr. Kim said.

“Well I made it out of there alive, and the other 2 did too. Not the end of the world to drop in Class,” I said. “We done?”

“Uhh a few more questions,” Mr. Kim said. I nodded and told my story a couple of more times. They tried to ask trick questions but I was vague and they were soon leaving. When they did I brought up the screen that had popped up while they were there.

“Awesome,” I said. “Time to start power-leveling.” I got up, but as I thought about it, I decided it might be best to warn my fellow Players.
