Chapter 27: Aftermath after the storm

[Sasaki's POV]

As Lee Jeong-Hun left the dungeon through the portal. All eyes were on the stranger. Alexander walked forward towards him and Imbued mana on his arms.

[Thunder King's Fist]

"If Lee Jeong-Hun doesn't finish him, I will. He's too dangerous."

One of my Myobu raced forward his body and growl against Alexander.

The other Myobu, uses the jewel on his tail, displaying message from Inari Okami-sama.

[*Save him.*]

I stepped infront and unsheathe my sword, carrying it in a guarding position. 

I swung my sword on the floor creating a line between us.

"You shall not move a single step forward from that line."

"Hoh, does this mean it's a declaration of war between you god and my God?" Alexander replied coldly.

*Gulp*

I swallowed my saliva, preparing for the worse when____

"That would mean you are prepared to fight the Japan faction. Are you certain." Kazue stepped forward with her Naginata facing down.

As Alexander and Kazue stared at each other. The rest of his companion also readied themselves.

I sheath my sword back, ready for a quick draw, when Alexander lifts his arm up.

"We leaving." As the rest followed suit and left.

Kazue headed towards the Masked Stranger and proceeds towards the Staff. However before she could touch it, it disappeared into thin air.

"What the..., this bastard really intends to keep that weapon for himself huh."

She got annoyed and tried to rip off the mask to see who was inside as consolation price.

But the mask wouldn't budge. Annoyed, she stood up and storms out. Before leaving the dungeon with her men, she shouted at me, saying "If he wakes up, tell that man, I'm still not through with him." As she leaves the dungeon. 

I giggled at the site of that, the Ice-cold princess who doesn't seem to have a care in the world, seem to be glued on this one man.

The area around the dungeon started cracking and destroyed. Seeing this, I ordered one of the Myobu to pick him up and the rest of us escaped out of the dungeon.

Now the problem is, where does he stay.

[Red's POV]

I woke up. Still not being able to move. I laid down checking my surroundings. I appear to be in some sort of hotel. I touched my face and surprised that the mask is still intact with my face.

Someone knocked on my door and entered. It was Sasaki. I sit up straight and bowed to her as thanks.

She smiled and passed me some bread and water.

"Eat up, you are still slightly weak, you did sleep for 3 days, Mr Red!"

I spat out water in my mouth and cough out.

I looked at her and stared.

She was smiling brightly there.

Troubled, I place my hand on my mask and took it off. 

"Looks like my secret identity is revealed, so does the rest knows?"

"Nope, the only reason why I knew was because your wallet fell off your shirt when one of my Myobu was carrying you."

I laughed and apologized to her for the trouble caused by me.

"Still, I was shock you managed to head toe to tors against Lee Jeong-Hun, and survive nonetheless."

"What happened after that?" I asked.

"I had no recollection of anything after get my stomach ripped opened."

She explained everything to me after what happened.

I assumed it was Ryong's doing, due to the incredible feats done by my body so I wasn't really worried .

After updating me on what happened. Sasaki asked me, "So what is you decision now?"

I tilt my head in confusion asking her what did she meant.

"Now that you revealed yourself to the world now, what do you plan to do? Do you plan to join a faction or Be unaffiliated?

You did target one of the Major Guild's prey. Plus, you challenged Lee Jeong-Jeong-Hun and survivedm. The God's are also always watching. Now news about you should be spread among the Gods of different backgrounds."

I stood there stunned. Thinking to myself, maybe I should have just stayed at home to study.

Sasaki giggled at my suffering, before announcing. 

"Welcome to Awakener's Domain."

Sasaki starts explaining in general what being in Awakener's Domain meant for me.

Apparently dungeons appear in the world more frequesnt than we know it. Those who brave through the dungeons would get powers in return after completing them or conquering it.

They call these people, Awakeners.

However, with the Dungeon appearing in the different God's territory.

The God's deemed it as entertainment for them to see the humans compete with one another.

With that said, due to the dungeon being on God's Territory. There is a small price to pay for entering the dungeon, like a carport fee. 

After clearing the dungeon, before exiting the dungeon. 

An altar of said god will be placed at the end, for you to offer something you obtained In the dungeon as offerings. If you do not offer anything, you might incurs God's Wraith.

Apparently Lee Jeong-Hun has been invading the dungeon within the God's Territory and clearing them without leaving any offering.

God's Champion however are different. They are Awakeners chosen by God where they bestowed them a blessing in regards for their loyalty to them.

In other words, they act as an agent of the Gods. 

They can directly trade anything they obtained in the dungeon as offering, and in return, the God's offer them power. Be it a skill, magic, power, equipment or armour.

There are dungeons that are not under any God's territory as well. These are free dungeons, where it is first come first serve basis. People normally fight over for these due to the reward of these dungeons are typically huge. Offering tremendous power to those who cleared it.

For my case, the dungeons I went through were all free dungeons.

Most of the current top ranking Awakeners either came from powerful God's house or they cleared a free dungeon themselves.

After explaining that, Sasaki left me alone to rest.

[So, how are thou feeling.]

"Better, everything hurts like hell."

[I need to tell thou something____]

[*Master, Master, New item in inventory!*]

"New item? Didn't I passed out. How would I even___."

As I was still talking half way, an egg larger than the size of my head appeared.
