Chapter 182: Curious Adventurer


    Dor escaped to the ck hole, which was the door to the dungeon.


    After he disappeared, Alex looked around. He located many forest fairies still in need. They didn’t know what had been happening around them. All they could do was extend their hands to ept the help and scream out of their lungs for it.


    Alex went after them without any hesitation.


    “Hang there,” Alex uttered, cutting through the debris. He pulled out a wounded fairy, then jumped toward the safe location, which was the queen’s guardian. He dropped the wounded on one of his hands, then continued searching for more.


    Fortunately, the earth whirlpool had long since stopped spreading further. It was still swirling around the capital, but at least it didn’t grow in size. That was quite relieving as more fairies could find a safer location.


    Everyone worked hard for the fairies, including yers who had their ss quests from them.


    s, the losses were severe… To say nothing of the danger lurking in the middle of their capital.


    The Dungeon…


    Alex stared at the ck hole, wanting to enter it. He wasn’t stupid to follow Dor here, as the viin could leave traps or use the monsters from the dungeon to assault him. He just gawked at the catastrophe before him with narrowed eyes.


    Ste’s warmth soon spread on Alex’s back. She conveyed more of her feelings by wrapping her hands around Alex’s chest, tightly keeping him close to herself. They glued to each other like lovers, which was not so appropriate in their situation.


    “Anger,” Ste whispered.


    “Yes, I am angry,” Alex replied, “At both the viin and myself.”


    “…” Ste closed her eyes, rubbing her cheeks on Alex’s back.


    While she recovered her stamina through Olivia’s exclusive cuddling skill, Alex opened the system window.


    He found out that Ste indeed could use [Cuddling].


    That was because of Ste’s good rtionship with Olivia. She also had a deep and genuine affection for Alex, tending to his weaknesses with soft care. Out of all people, Ste could read Alex the best.


    She topped Olivia because of her innate skill to read emotions.


    [A new dungeon type has appeared in the Avander World.]


    [Underground Dungeon.]


    “There are many dungeons types, I guess…” Alex whispered, reading through the system’s notification.


    [Underground Dungeon – In this type of dungeon, the yers can fight the monsters within the dungeon and outside of it. The Underground Dungeon gives quests to the monsters, too, letting them leave to pursue their freedom.


    Only one monster and his army can leave the dungeon at once.]


    [6 days and 23 hours before the first monster receives his quest.]


    [Lv. Rmendation: Lv. 100]


    Alex and Ste’s hearts clenched.

    In the Elven Underground Prison Dungeon, Dor slowly made his way toward a peculiar spot.


    He had a potion in his mouth, healing his wounds. He trudged, barely able to maintain his peace as his stamina was low. He was also exhausted and irked by the canyon gap between him and Alex.


    ‘If he’s a legend, then I’m not a match for him unless I get the Curious Adventurer’s Glove,’ Dor whispered, his eyes ring with excitement and desire for revenge.


    He smiled, ‘For now, I can only leave him to her. Haha… Damn cat… You don’t know who I am working with… Without her, I wouldn’t be able to bring out this dungeon this early!’


    Dor had an epic ss, Curious Adventurer.


    That ss allowed him to find vestiges of the past. Everything in the outer world had those traces hidden from the naked eye.


    Dor could see them, slowly digging for new information. In this way, he found out about the underground prison. His system also told him that he would be able to awaken it through his ss prematurely.


    Curious Adventurer’s main quest was to gather all treasures and money of the world. He could use those as a price to strengthen himself. In the end, Dor and his Curious Adventurer ss cared about themselves the most.


    If Dor was the wealthiest man by the end of the world, then he would fulfill all his ss’ quests. That was why he had an option to exchange money and treasures for power!


    And that ss suited Dor perfectly as he loved money on Earth too.


    It was as if Dor was chosen by his ss because the system could read his affection and admiration for money…


    Dor went through many corridors, soon entering the unique room. That ce looked different from other rooms, surely self-made.


    In that ce, Dor could only see a soft sofa and a woman enjoying her silence.


    She had a mix of ck and white hair cascading onto her chest and her back. Her curves were bountiful, tightly wrapping her in a white-ck cheongsam dress, which was a perfect contrast to her hair.


    She had unbelievably pale skin as if she was sick. Her dress was quite modified, though, as she had nine bone tails behind her. Those tails moved on their own as if each had a soul within.


    She opened her eyes, looking at Dor with a faint smile. Her blue hues shone brightly in the room… For more than a second, Dor saw something swirling within those mesmerizing eyes.


    He didn’t let her beauty or otherwordly aura snatch his heart. Nothing other than money could move Dor’s heart. Dor smiled, putting a defense against her charm. He could only do it in this way, which made him look arrogant.


    Thedy didn’t care about his pointless disy; her interest didn’t even lie in him, “Seems like you haven’t been able to enjoy yourself. Was it Yumia? I thought you had enough strength to avoid her skills.


    Her weaknesses are also so clear…” she rolled her eyes, disappointed in the viin.


    “There’s a yer that I can’t match, Eva,” Dor said without any shame.


    Eva, the daughter of the soul grave-keeper, parted her blue lips, letting out a melodious exmation, “Oh?”


    Outside the dungeon, Alex had his eyes on the ck hole, “You will not escape me, Dor.”
