Chapter 03 Entering the dungeon
— Hi, I'm Joana, I've worked with your father in the past, even though I work as a hunter for the government, I'm also a member of the Bar Association, you can tell me everything that happened — Joana said with a friendly smile.
"Haven't you already read the police report about what happened?" Alex asked in an annoyed tone.
— Yes, I have, but I would like to hear it directly from my constituent, a warning, it's better if you tell the truth this way I can develop a good strategy to get you out of here as quickly as possible — Joana made sure the cameras were off before making her statement, Alex shook his head negatively in response.
— Don't worry, I'm your lawyer, I was commissioned by your sister and I've also worked with your father, so you can trust me.
— It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that... — Alex showed the back of his head where there was a visible bruise — I lost my memories too, I'm also unaware of what happened, I only found out my name from the detective.
Alex decided to pretend to be an Amine for now so people could perhaps explain what happened. He wasn't studying, apparently he was in some parallel reality where there were slight defenses compared to his home reality.
— That complicates things, the Weber family is very influential in the city since they have three-star hunters, but I should be able to handle that for now, what do you remember or not remember?
— The only thing I remember was waking up here and I was only able to speak when I saw people talking, by the way, what is an awakened and hunter?
Joana took a stack of paper and gave it to Alex. It contained personal information, everything he needed to know about himself, and there was also information about the so-called hunters.
— You recently awakened as a hunter, wear this on your dominant hand — Alex put a glove on his right hand and a light was exhaled slightly after a quick expansion the glove was returned
Joana put on the same glove and after a slight glow two steles appeared — hunters are ranked from zero to five stars, I have two and you have none, the more stars you have the stronger your authority will be, in other words you belong to the lowest class there is, now let's see your authority.
— How do I do this.
— Easy just open your attribute window
— And how do I open it?
— Just think or say open attribute window
When Alex thought of the attribute window, a translucent Sime screen appeared revealing its information
(NAME ALEX, LUCID, AWAKENED BEING)
(AUTHORITY GRAVITY)
(SKILLS=NONE)
(LEVEL=0)
(STRENGTH=5)
(AGELITY=5)
(HP=10/9)
(MP=5/5)
— It says here that my authority is gravity and level zero
Joana then explained how the hunters' system worked, which was actually like a game, thanks to which, Alex had no difficulty understanding.
The hunters possessed something called authority, something that was linked to a concept, to the phenomenon of nature and its elements. Thanks to these authorities, they could manipulate phenomena, concepts and elements, and their manipulation was proportional to the amount of star that the hunter possessed upon awakening.
There was also a class system, the hunter was assigned by the system to a class according to his use of authority, mage, warrior, assassin and others, were the most faced to achieve
Since Alex was newly awakened , he didn't have a class yet, his level was the lowest there was.
Joana explained the current situation in the city, particularly Alex's family, before she left to look for a way to free her constituent.
Back in his cell, two days passed. He had to endure interrogation and a doctor came to do an evaluation to confirm his history of hunger. His sister saw him, but he couldn't receive visitors.
A week later, Alex and several other prisoners are about to enter a dungeon.
Dungeon cleaning was currently the most taxable way of accumulating resources and the State and private individuals competed equally. The hunters' association was a state organization that aimed to protect the country and collect revenue through dungeons.
The hunters' guides were private organizations whose primary objectives were the enrichment and strengthening of their hunters, they also helped the government when necessary or when their interests were aligned.
Not listening enough to hunters in the hunters' association and since the government could not ask the guilds lightly, the state seeks to use the necessary means to make up for the deficits caused by the lack of hunters.
— Fast one after the other, I don't have all day — a prison guard organized the prisoners to get out of a military truck.
One after the other they came out wearing orange uniforms from the municipal prison, two lines were formed, one of boys aged between 19 and 40, there were around 14 prisoners and Alex was included.
The second tank was made up of girls from the women's prison, there were about 8 girls.
All the prisoners were awakened and like Alex they had no stars, they were the weakest hunters that could be found among the awakened.
With the help of officers, several teams were formed and distributed to escape different dungeons, a hunter agent was assigned to each team to coordinate and supervise the escape.
— Very well, I am Joaquim, an agent of the hunters association — He raised his dominant hand showing a glove that shone with the faint light of a star — I am a star hunter as you can see I will be in charge of this mission.
Agent Joaquim displayed a set of weapons and asked each of them to come and pick one that best suited their skills.
(SYSTEM NOTICE)
(YOUR LEVEL IS ZERO, YOU CANNOT EQUIP A WEAPON)
(LOW LEVEL SWORD, STRENGTH PLUS 5 AGELITY 1 DEFENSE 2)
(REQUIREMENT TO EQUIP LEVEL 3)
When Alex picked up a sword, he felt his hand being electrocuted and then the weapon fell to the ground followed by a warning from the system, the others gave Alex a distracted look when they identified his level zero through the system.
The agent made a sinister face before hiding it with a fake friendly smile, since Alex couldn't equip a weapon he was left with the task of carrying any resources in a large backpack
Including Alex there were about 6 boys, Joaquim the agent, a bald man with prominent muscles his name was Augusto, along with his brother, Cardoso a young man of 25 years old, Alfredo and Paulo
To complete the team there were also three girls, Mónica a girl of approximately 19 years old, but her appearance said otherwise she seemed much more mature, her red hair and her striking figure accentuating her curves attracted a lot of attention.
Mimi walked beside Monica as if she were her younger sister. Her beautiful brown hair and thin face gave her a unique charm. Finally, there was Ivana, a girl who radiated purity. Even though she was an adult, her eyes looked very innocent. Her black hair shone with the surrounding light.
(YOU HAVE ENTERED A DUNGEON)
(CROW OF GOBLES)
Everyone received a notification on the system panel, then the agent organized the team based on everyone's strengths, Monica and the bald man were in the front, the innocent-looking girl was right behind, the rest were on the sides like the agent and Alex in the center of the formation.
Soon the goblins were seen as small green monsters, a leather thong covered their genitals, their wrinkled noses took up most of their faces, their yellow eyes radiated savagery.
