Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 105 Underwater Moonshrine

?

Secret Realm, a special space that is a little similar to a dungeon.

While dungeons' existence are all because of beings called 'Dungeon Master', Secret Realms are born naturally because of a special phenomenon called 'Spatial Collapse'.

Also, while anyone with strength can enter dungeons, Secret Realms have their own restrictions.

There are Secret Realms that only people within the age limit can enter.

There are even Secret Realms that only allow entry to those below certain levels.

That is the reason why Kris is having such a hard time right now.

Hearing her mention a secret realm, Alex nodded in understanding.

"Oh, so that's why. Then, what kind of help do you need from me? Can't you enter it because of some restrictions?"

With a sheepish smile, Kris said, "Well, I can enter the secret realm without a problem since it's not within the scope of restriction."

"But the problem is, the monsters inside are too much for me to handle!"

Kris sighed helplessly.

"I can kill those normal-class monsters and leader-class monsters below my level without any problem."

"However, a lot of Boss-class monsters also roam around inside the secret realm and that is where I'm having a hard time."

"Ohh." Alex nodded understandingly.

Not all players are like him who have stats that can overwhelm even those Boss monsters higher level than him.

It was only because have a cheat-like skill called [Sacrifice] that's why he can do such things.

Anyway, Kris' problem is basically just because the monsters in the Secret Realm are something that she can't get rid of with her current stats.

After learning her problem, Alex casually said, "Oh, so that's the case. Well, it's not a hard thing to solve."

Kris rolled her eyes at him and said, "You can only say that because you're too strong."

"Honestly, how did you even get that kind of strength while only being at Tier-1?"

Alex only smiled mysteriously and said, "That's a secret~."

"Whatever, just please help me get the Moonlight Sand and the Heart of Nature."

Kris said after seeing Alex acting all mysterious.

Without hesitation, Alex agreed, "Sure, just like I said, it's nothing too hard."

"Just bring me to that Secret Realm and I'll act as your bodyguard while we're inside that place."

Smiling brightly, Kris said, "Good. Then let's stop wasting time and head out immediately!"

Without hesitation, the two of them left the old wooden house even though they only arrived a few minutes ago.

…

After leaving the city which Alex later learned to be called Angat from Kris, the two of them went towards a beach 30 minutes away from the city on foot.

When they arrived, Alex saw that unlike the beaches on Earth, the beach here looks desolate and he can't even see any person around.

But what really caught Alex's attention is the entrance to the Secret Realm that is not far away from them.

Pointing at it, Alex turned his eyes to Kris and said, "Is that the Secret Realm that you want to go in?"

Honestly, the entrance doesn't look anything special.

It looks just like a portal that is purple in color and much much bigger than it.

Kris nodded at his question and said, "Yeah, that's the Underwater Moonshine Secret Realm."

Nodding, Alex approached the secret realm entrance and a system interface appeared in front of his eyes.

[Underwater Moonshine Secret Realm]

[Details: A shrine of an unknown goddess of the moon that's been flooded by water because of unknown reasons.]

[Restrictions: Level 1 to Level 99(Tier 1 to Tier 2)]

…

Alex read the details on the screen which also serves as a short introduction about the background of the secret realm.

After reading that, Alex turned his gaze to the restriction written below the details.

'Hmm, it's probably because of this restriction that she didn't ask for help from others like her family.' Alex guessed.

While he's inspecting the secret realm, Kris approaches Alex and taps his shoulder.

"Are we going inside now, Alex?"

Alex nodded, "Yeah, we have nothing to prepare anyway, so let's just go in and see what this place is all about."

Kris looked unsurely at Alex and said, "Are you sure about that?"

"Yeah, why?"

Seeing Alex's nonchalant look, Kris scratched her head and asked, "Then do you have the underwater breathing skill?"

Hearing her question, Alex paused.

Then he slowly turned his gaze to Kris, saying, "I didn't think of that…"

Kris chuckled after seeing Alex's look.

Shaking her head, Kris waved her hand and a book suddenly appeared in front of her.

Pushing it to Alex, she said, "Here, use this skill book to learn [Underwater Breathing] immediately."

Alex took the skill book and used it without hesitation.

The next moment, a notification appeared in front of him showing that he successfully learned [Underwater Breathing].

Alex glanced at it before turning his eyes back to Kris.

"I got the skill now. Is there anything else that I might need before we go in?" He asked.

This time, Alex wants to make sure that he's really all prepared and doesn't want to act hastily.

Shaking her head, Kris replied, "There's nothing else. All you need is this [Underwater Breathing] skill because of the location of the secret realm."

"Is that so? Then let's go now!"

Without hesitation, Alex moved forward and soon entered the secret realm.

Seeing that, Kris hurriedly followed behind him and the two of them disappeared from the beach.

When they appeared again, Alex found that they were standing in what appeared to be an altar room with many unknown runes written all over the place.

At the same time, Alex felt the cold touch of the water on his skin as they are now located under water.

After looking around the altar room, Alex looked at Kris.

Since he can't talk while under the water, he opened the friend chat interface on the system and messaged Kris.

[Zero: Hey, Kris, take the lead, I'll just follow you and protect you from any coming monster.]
