Chapter 49 48. The Artificial Dungeon (5).

"Grrrr.... How dare you insignificant...." Kvasir roared, appeared right in front of Isha and punched her stomach.

BAM

"Ukh.." Isha flew mid-air before getting punched in her face.

BAM

"Guh.." Isha coughed out blood and flew back towards the wall while spinning like a top.

"Snowflakes."

THUMP

PUFF

CRA-CRACK

An unpleasant smell that had become painfully familiar to her over the previous week hit her nostrils, and she immediately recognized who had caught her and smiled slightly.

"You're Ukh... Late..." Isha turned to face Eshwar, who was holding her waist and shoulder and glaring at Kvasir.

Eshwar's eyes were a bright golden colour, his pupils had turned into vertical black slits, and he had clenched his teeth so tightly that they would shatter with just a little more force. Veins appeared near his neck, jawline, and eyes.

"..." Isha looked Eshwar with yearning gaze when she felt his warmth on her cheek, shoulder and waist....

'Waist?' She blushed violently and got a nosebleed all of a sudden.

"Cough, cough..." Isha coughed out blood.

"Ar-are you okay? F**k, there is no way you'll be okay..... You!" he mumbled and roared at Kvasir, glaring.

'... Let's go with the flow for now.' She thought and blushed again in embarrassment.

A few moments earlier.

DING

"Hm?" I checked the system notification while holding the cigar between my thumb and index finger.

[SYSTEM INFLUENCE INCREASED BY 30.]

[TIME HAS REDUCED BY 6 MONTHS]

[3Y: 220D: 09H: 23S.]

"What?" I yelled in disbelief.

"Aye, f**k you! Don't change the time when ever you want!" I roared at the system window.

[....]

"F**k!" I didn't look at the new notification and turned to face the dungeon.

WOOOMMM

"F**k, dungeon rank rose to AA, Goddamnit." Gate expanded by a meter.

"Huh? This!" I mumbled involuntarily.

A tiny vertical glitched line had appeared on the gate, it was same type of glitch that had appeared from my skill [???].

'I should have trusted my instincts! Goddamnit. If I don't go in, they'll die!'

"F**k it!" I jumped into the gate while breathing in the pure mana out of habit.

"G-grrraaaaa" I yelled in pain.

I felt excruciating pain, as if my body had been turned inside out, everything hurt and it hurt like hell. It felt like billions of acupuncture needles were stuck in every pore on my skin, my mana core hurt, and the pain I was experiencing was multiplied tenfold.

'That Goddamn dragon's knowledge is perfect, which is unfortunate for me right now because I didn't need every painful detail of my f**king body!'

"Graaaaaa." I could only hear system notifications, but I couldn't open my eyes because the pain got worse every time I tried to do something.

"Like hell, .... I'll be..... here like this!!" I mumbled out, I think.

[Skill: Control activated.]

I slowly opened my eyes and saw a space full of 0's, 1's, and a glitchy background everywhere. The pain became unbearable, and I began to cry and sweat profusely. My eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and throat were all burning. Only my eyeball moved as I slowly looked down, and I noticed something red was flowing out of my eyes, which I assumed was blood.

"This is coding!" Everything was moving up and down in a systematic manner, and I tried to focus on something else, hoping that it would distract me from the pain. I was terribly wrong.

"Fffffff** kkkk!!"

'Am I speaking in my mind? Am I stuck in this f**king place? No! No, naughty thoughts! F**k, I'm in pain and my own mind is mocking me!'

Because I couldn't do anything else and I sensed something happening to my mana core, I began to wonder if pure mana was still filling by itself. I have no idea. My body isn't responding and I don't feel any time passing...

'time isn't passing?'

'F**k, how do I get out of here?'

[Private Skills creation completed.]

[User's modification completed.]

WOOOM

'the f**k are you modifying, at least have some respect for me, won't you? Ask first! F**k!'

"Huh?" I suddenly found myself in a cave. I looked back and saw the gate, then down at my cigar, which was exactly as it was when I held it in my hand before entering the gate and the pain had disappeared like it was never there in the first place.

"I'm 100 percent sure that I'm not high on anything!" I mumbled, put my cigar in my mouth, and remembered why I had entered the gate in the first place.

I dashed at full speed and noticed a lot of rank-D wolf type monster corpses; it didn't feel out of place, but I need to make sure everyone is okay.

BAM

"Ukh.." Isha groaned.

BAM

"Guh.." Isha flew towards the wall, spinning like a top.

I instantly appeared behind Isha, ready to catch her.

"Snowflakes." I mumbled to slow her down.

'Good with hands.' I activated a skill just to be extra safe.

THUMP

PUFF

Despite her height, her face landed on my chest as I hugged her, left hand on her waist and right hand on her shoulder to support her; I wanted to rip apart every wolf in the room right then and there, to care about where my hands were, and I was confident that 'Good with hands' would have helped regardless.

"You're Ukh....late...." Isha mumbled.

' I- I want to rip apart every wolf present here!' I thought, channelling mana to every inch of my body, and the mana in my body immediately obeyed my will.

"...." I felt Isha's body warming up on my hands.

"Cough, cough...." Isha coughed up blood while also bleeding from the nose. I knelt down and supported her with my left knee, while Isha leaned on my knee and took a breath.

"Ar-are you okay? F**k, there is no way you'll be okay..... You!" Because she was bleeding from her nose, I was concerned about what might have happen to her lungs.

'How dare this f**king thing hit her..!' I glared at the wolf type monster(?).

".... Um, I know..... It's a bad timing but.... What the f**k is that thing?" I was bewildered because I had never seen a monster with ten f**king eyes in my two lives.

'Damn, that's a lot of eyes!'
