Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey

"Now Enter." After Miss Lillian finished her explanation of Dungeons, students went to their respective teams.

In that case, I also made my way to my team. Team 7.

Sunny, Isabella, and Evelyn are standing in a circle in front of me.

"Hey Lucas, hurry up others are already entering the dungeon."

As I near them Sunny said with a smile on his face, Man his name suits him.

Always smiling and carefree attitude.

"Coming," I said as I reached them.

"Isabella, are you okay? You just took one day's leave from Nova Academy."

Evelyn said to Isabella, but Isabella just shook her head.

"It's Fine, after I drink an [ intermediate healing potion] and have one good night's sleep I'm feeling better, in fact, I should say I'm feeling way better than before," she said to Evelyn.

'Wow, an 'intermediate healing potion.' I thought that this healing potion was very costly and no normal people could afford it.

There are ranks for everything here. So Obviously Potion also has rank.

For healing potion, it's gone from low low rank, medium rank, high rank, intermediate rank and perfect rank.

As you have guessed Isabella too second-highest healing potion, intermediate rank.

No wonder she is feeling okay after just one night's sleep.

"Team 7 it's your turn, hurry up." Miss Lillian called our team.

"Let's go," I said to them and went to the dungeon Portal.

My view become blurred. I staggered while walking. My head was assaulted with a headache on entering.

'Entering the dungeon sure gives a pleasant feeling.'I chuckled holding my head.

I took a deep breath to calm myself. I can tell you one thing it's not fun entering a portal.

It feels like all of the organs inside of my body are going to split up.

"Oh, Fuck Wahhh" Sunny on the other hand puke all of the food he had eaten.

Seeing all of the content he let out I only think of one thing.

'It's disgusting.'

What? It's disgusting seeing someone puke in front of you.

At least Isabella and Evelyn doing okay.

"Where are we?" Evelyn asked as she was her surroundings.

I also take a look at our surroundings.

The entrance was a stone archway adorned with intricate carvings, and beyond it lay a world of mystery and danger.

The initial corridor was dimly lit, with torches flickering along the stone walls.

The air was heavy with a musty scent, and I could feel a chill that seemed to seep from the very stone itself.

'The dungeon you are entering is just F ranked dungeon'.

'You have devices on your left hand that will measure your kill count'.

Miss Lillian's voice echoed in my mind, reminding us of the rules and the purpose of this mission.

The Labyrinth Dungeon lived up to its name. It was a maze of twisting passages, narrow corridors, and occasional open chambers. The stone walls bore marks and engravings as if countless adventurers before us had left their traces in this place.

The ceiling stretched high above, shrouded in darkness, and the only source of light came from the sporadically placed torches.

Our surroundings were eerie and unsettling. The walls seemed to close in on us at times, and distant sounds echoed through the labyrinth, making it difficult to discern their origin.

The air had a damp quality, hinting at hidden water sources within the maze.

"Let's go, standing here will not benefit anyone."

Isabella's voice ran out in this eerie Lybraith.

She started to walk ahead without waiting, for anyone else.

I, Sunny and Evelynne exchanged glances at each other and started to follow behind her.

'she always rushes things up' I thought.

Sunny, Isabella, Evelyn, and I moved cautiously, our footsteps echoing through the stone corridors. We could hear the occasional scurrying of creatures in the shadows, and the tension in the air was palpable.

The architecture of the Labyrinth Dungeon was a testament to its ancient and mysterious nature.

Some chambers were adorned with elaborate murals, while others seemed devoid of life, filled only with rubble and decay. It was as if the dungeon itself held the memories of countless explorers who had ventured within its depths.

Despite the uncertainty and danger that surrounded us, there was also an undeniable sense of adventure and excitement.

But despite the sense of adventure and excitement, We have not found any monsters.

'What the hell is going on?'

***

It's been 20 minutes and as we go deep inside of labyrinth dungeon the light surrounding seems now it seems to be all dark.

"Sunny, Evelyn can you see something?" Isabella asked with a frown.

I look around us and see there is a large mist has eloped us. The mist was created through darkness mana, even Heroes found it difficult to light up the cave.

"I Can't," Sunny said as he shook his head.

"I can see Five Meters ahead but that's all I still have to train my eyes," Evelyn said.

She can see but only Five meters it will do nothing.

"Tsk, I can just create Fire in my hand but it will consume constantly Mana and if encounter any beast my mana may run out of it."

Isabella clicks her tongue and also explains why she is not using her Mana.

I was still treated as an invisible person, As Isabella did not ask me.

Shaking my head, I spoke, "I can see."

"Huh?"

"Really?"

Shiny and Evelyn were surprised, but Isabella ignored me.

"I said, I can see."

Annoyed at her attitude, I spoke loudly to the back of her head.

"I can see through the dark."

At that instant, Isabella turned back quickly with glaring eyes. However, she was facing Sunny, not me.

"Stop fooling around."

Insulted out of the blue, Sunny was taken aback, while I retorted casually.

"I'm just saying, you're going to fall if you go that way."

"What nonsense— kayak"

Isabella missed her footing at just the right time. As she began to plummet downwards, I jumped in and grabbed her arm. Isabella clutched my shoulder with trembling hands.

"...Kuhum."

After climbing back up using my body as a rope, Isabella let out a dry cough as though nothing happened.

"...Looks like you aren't lying. How can you see?"

"I have good eyes."

It's a lie. Yesterday I finally reached level 1.

My thoughts go back to yesterday at Archer Training Ground.

Ding—!

Ding!

After that, I just ran to the skill room at full speed.

You see Nova Academy gave G-rank to F-rank skills to the students who completed their Beginner Level at New Profession.

Since I had completed me it's time to gain new Skill For me.

After I told the instructor that I had completed my beginner Profession at Archery, he just said.

"Follow me"

Handing me the card, he urged me to follow him as he walked towards a certain area within the Skill room

Nodding, I followed along as I admired the hallway that was filled with paintings, designer pieces, and other artistic décor that made this place feel like an establishment for the filthy rich.

Soon we arrived in front of a large safe door, in which two individuals patiently stood.

Nodding to the guards, the instructor's footsteps halted.

Looking at me solemnly, he said "Alright before I leave, let me warn you"

"You are only allowed to choose one skill, let me repeat ONE skill."

As he spoke, the instructor repeatedly emphasized the fact that I could only take one skill. Looking at me to make sure I understood.

"As you already know, skills are expensive… If not for Nova who gave these skills for free you will not be able to get it".

Listening attentively, I repeatedly nodded my head. Everything that he said I already knew. His seriousness was understandable as his skills were indeed worth a lot.

Pausing slightly, the instructor had a gratified smile on his face as he looked at me who understood what he said. Taking the red card from my hand, he handed it to the guards.

"Another thing you need to remember is that the skill you can choose can only be between rank G and F. Higher ranked skills will be inaccessible to you"

"The vault you're about to enter has three floors, in which you will only be granted access to the first floor."

After the pause he continues.

"Alright, I'll wait outside. Once you're done with choosing your skill, you can directly learn it under the watch of one of the guards."

Finishing what he wanted to say, the instructor stepped to the side and allowed me to enter the vault.

"Stand there"

Stopping in front of the door of the vault, the guard pointed towards a certain point.

-Voom!

Following his order, I stood on the spot that the guard pointed. Soon my whole body was enveloped in red light.

-Ding! -Ding!

"Alright you're all set"

-Beep!

-Krrrrrr

Swiping the card on the vault, a green light appeared following which a loud rumbling could be heard as the door of the vault slowly opened.

"Alright, have a fun kid"

-Clank!

Stepping into the vault, the door behind me closed. Soon silence enveloped my surroundings
