Chapter 254: Night Talk



The days flew by.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the crypt's strange attic, Adam was sitting by a campfire that he had created right in the middle of the attic.

It looked dangerous to have something like that in the attic, but the fire didn't spread, and the smoke curled up through the hole in the ceiling.

By the campfire, some roasted animal was being cooked on a stick.

After days of grinding, he'd reached level 18, and was already on good route to reach level 19 in a couple of days.

His daily routine was basically waking up, grinding experience points till nightfall, eating something, sleeping, and repeating.

A short while later, Adam took the stick and started eating the roasted animal. It didn't taste anything special, but it was sustenance to keep him going.

While eating, he looked towards the windows on the attic and frowned at the world of the mist outside. It was the exact same as on the tutorial floor.

This world of mist was very interesting to him.

'Alastor said that his Tyrannical Warlords are sealed in the world of mist. Could it be the place outside of the dungeon?'

He munched on the food while thinking about things.

If there was a chance, he'd loved to visit the world of mist, but he was far too weak to travel there. It was definitely not a place for weaklings.

'I wonder how things are going in the New World...'

...

In a random village in the New World, a small army had gathered in the village, and more and more carriages were entering through the village's gates with each passing second.

In the gate, Zestruction's symbol flapped against the wind.

As one of the carriages stopped in front of the largest building in the village, a figure dressed in crimson stepped out and looked around the bustling village with a look of wonder.

There weren't any Originals left here, and instead everyone were mercenaries of the Zestruction faction. They were preparing for the war here.

"Sir Digby!" A well-armored soldier came over to him. "Sir Zephyr had invited every guild master to have a talk with him. It's happening on the third floor."

Digby looked over to the tall building and headed straight there.

After a while, he entered the third floor and saw all of the guild masters gathered around a sizable table.

It was loud and chaotic, with everyone speaking at once.

They were throwing up ideas and suggestions for the war while Zephyr listened with his mouth staying shut.

However, at that moment, his gaze landed on Digby, and a look of recognition flashed through his eyes.

After all, he'd been in love with her so long that he wasn't able to remember the time when he

wasn't.

He left his bed, left his room, and stopped in front of Alice's room door.

Before opening the door, he checked the time on the phone, and it wasn't midnight just yet, but Alice might be sleeping because she had school tomorrow.

He gently opened the door and saw that the room was dark. There was a person lying on the bed, not moving an inch.

After entering the room, he closed the door, walked over to the bed, and whispered, "Alice, are you awake?"

She mumbled something under her breath, and her eyes softly opened. She looked slightly groggy, her eyes barely staying open, but she managed to smile weakly in response.

"Adam..."

She didn't expect to see him anytime soon, as he seemed very busy.

"There's something I must talk to you about."

"What is it?" Alice heard the seriousness in his tone, and she shrugged off her sleepiness to

focus on his words.

However, before Adam could speak a word, footsteps came from the hallway.

They turned to the door and saw a shadow by the door.

"Alice, are you awake?"

It was Serah's voice.

"Hide!" Alice hurried Adam, who quickly hid under her bed.

The door slowly creaked open, and Serah, in her sleeping pajama, flicked the light switch and

looked at her sweet daughter.

"I heard some talk. Who were you talking to?"

"No one." Alice smiled and shook her head. "Maybe father left the television open in the

downstairs?"

"No, I closed the television; I am sure of it..." Serah scratched the back of her head and then

slowly closed the door. "Get some sleep; you have school."

"I will, mom."
