Chapter 4: Chapter 4: A job opportunity

Ignoring the elevator he used the stairs. Gorn was eager to increase his power even more, but his food reserves had been depleted. Furthermore, a quick walk could prove to be beneficial to sharpen his senses.

The sun was shining beautifully, and the streets were not that crowded in the area where he lived. It has been some time since he saw the faces of other people. Looking at random people Gorn wondered what stories each one of them had to tell, or how their lives went.

These thoughts were only fleeting thoughts. The most important matter was what was happening to him right now, the changes he was going through because of that old phone.

Before going to the convenience store to buy some food, Gorn decided to stroll a little through the city. All of a sudden his attention was drawn to a screen not that far away.

Aqua guild: We are urgently recruiting five more people for a dungeon excavation operation. One must have the strength to lift one hundred kilograms above his head in order to be eligible to participate. The pay is five hundred dollars per hour. The whole operation lasts eight hours and starts in 50:21...50:20...50:19...minutes.

"I should be more than capable to lift one hundred kilograms above my head."

Gorn meet the requirements for the job.

"The pay is fantastic, and does not require too much time."

He was really tempted by the offer. Reading the rest of the announcement he pondered to himself.

"I should be able to reach the testing area in thirty minutes, as for the dungeon entrance, it is also not that far away."

The dungeon had been conquered before, so it was now used mostly for gathering resources, training, and such things.

"A one-star dungeon that has already been conquered, plus the fact that we will be guarded at all times, and do not need to fight. If it was me from before, doing such a job would be impossible, but now..."

Gorn's heart rate started to increase.

"Let's give it a shot, I need to do this sooner or later anyway."

With his old job gone, he needed to earn some money if he wanted to eat, and sleep on a bed.

Quickly taking a bus, Gorn departed towards the testing area. Without any delay, he reached the said place.

It was a building owned by the Aqua guild. The big sign on top of it made it pretty obvious. Going to the entrance Gorn gulped; he was actually nervous, more than he expected.

'Will I be able to enter a dungeon for the first time in my life?'

He only heard stories about dungeons, for any outside things could not go through the gate.

"I'm here to take a test," said Gorn.

"Welcome, please go inside, there is someone that will guide you to the testing area."

The entrance guards were polite and allowed him entrance without any further questions.

'Oh? Letting me in so easily? What if I'm an enemy or something?'

On second thought Gorn wanted to smack himself in the head.

'What could I possibly steal from this place or damage?'

Everyone took good care of their important belongings. Nothing of great importance was in that place in the first place. Putting more guards there was non-sensical. Not to speak that there were laws to be respected inside the city. Not just everyone could afford to commit serious crimes without being severely punished.

One foot in front of the other Gorn entered the building. The inside was clean, simple, and very spacious. A beautiful woman greeted him.
"Hello sir, are you here for the excavation job?"

Gorn was a little taken aback. He was not used to being treated so politely at work.

"Yes."

The woman nodded: "Come with me please."

Following the woman, Gorn soon reached a gym. In front of him was a rock that had the number one hundred written on top of it.
"Please fulfill the requirements for the job."

"Of course," said Gorn while going straight to the rock.

Getting a strong grip on the stone, Gorn lifted it above his head. Because of the round shape, the lift was harder than expected. Nonetheless, the twelve points in strength made the ordeal possible.

"You pass, please follow me."

The woman wasn't impressed in the slightest. Gorn looked at his hands, a strange feeling flowing through his body. For the first time in his life, he was experiencing the desire for something more than a luxurious life, for something greater, something that money could not obtain.

After a couple of moments, Gorn followed the woman. His eyes were now clearer, more focused. From that moment onward, money was not his main objective in life anymore.

This kind of desire was rooted deep inside his heart. Now, it surfaced more to the outside, blooming with power.
After a few dozen meters, and a couple of turns the woman brought Gorn to the roof. In front of his eyes was now a big group of people, as well as a flying airship, similar to a helicopter, but at the same time not a helicopter.

Gorn was surprised not by the helicopter, nor by the people, but by the way those people were dressed. It was like a cosplay gathering of some sort. Some of the women had very enticing clothes, that coupled with the very attractive figure was more than enough to make Gorn gulp.

"Sir, before you join the group to the right, please change into these clothes. There is a changing room to my left."

Gorn's gaze turned to face some simple-looking clothes. The men from the right had the exact same clothes on them. Clean but simple, however, in contrast with everyone else, they looked like some kind of slaves.

"Ok, I understand. Thank you very much."

The woman departed to another place while Gorn changed his clothes, and quickly joined the appointed place.
His physique was toned, but comparing his seventy-and-something kilograms with someone that had way above one hundred created quite a visible discrepancy.

"Hello, my name is G..."

His greeting was interrupted.

"I don't care what's your name. Take it and wait for further instructions," said the biggest man from that group while throwing a pick axe in front of Gorn.

Picking up the pick-axe Gorn grinned. This was a more familiar greeting, a greeting he was very accustomed to. A few people glimpsed his way, ready to witness a little show.

To their disappointment, Gorn had no reaction at all except a small grin. It would be a lie to say he was totally unaffected, but he was there to make some money not fight random people.

While waiting for everyone to gather, Gorn discretely analyzed everyone present, as well as the airship.

'Such fancy equipment...'

After a short time, the moment of departure finally arrived. One after another people embarked on the airship.
