Chapter 39 - Floor 2
{It is nearly 10 pm and you will be transported to the dungeon in 30 seconds} announced the system.
"Shit" screamed Adam suddenly, completely forgetting about the time. ??
He abruptly jumped up from the chair he sat in opposite Cole.
"What's wrong," asked Cole worried by Adam's sudden change in expression.
"I know this is really weird, but do you have somewhere I can sleep" asked Adam hurriedly, knowing he wouldn't be able to make it to his apartment in time.
"That is weird, but pick any spare room that are down there and you can do as you please" stated Cole as he pointed to a corridor inside the penthouse and chuckled to himself, watching Adam scurry towards them.
"He has changed so much, but he is the same bro of mine and I will make sure nothing like what he had been through ever repeats itself" mumbled Cole to himself as he watched Adam rush into a spare room.
Both knew that each other had missed out large pieces of information and had some things that they weren't revealing, but both trusted each other and were happy that they were finally able to reunite.
Adam rushed into the closest spare room and after closing the door behind him launched himself onto the bed as he heard another notification resound within his mind.
{Ding, the host is being transported into the Dungeon} the system stated as he felt his soul sucked out of his body.
SWOOSH.
After landing on solid ground, he readily opened his eyes, prepared to battle, but calmed down after seeing that he was in the weird closed-off room that led to a single corridor that was closed off by a gate.
{The host has now completed Floor 1 and will now enter Floor 2 which has the same rules and applications. The host has to reach LVL 20 and or defeat the Boss Beast on Floor 2 to move onto the next Mortal graded dungeon Floor} the system stated.
{You may enter} granted the system as the gate blocking him from the corridor opened.
Taking a deep breath to calm his mind, Adam stepped forth and headed towards the golden light at the end of the mysterious corridor.
Meanwhile, Cole had joined Emma and Sarah who were trying on all kinds of clothes and dodged any and all questions towards him asking about what had happened between them and what they had spoken about.
Emma and Sarah also had a meaningful conversation and had narrated to each other the past year or so that they had separated and not contacted each other much, and both agreed to keep in touch and spend more time together.
After rushing through the golden light, Adam felt himself being sucked into another space again and as he landed was instantly prepared for battle.
Unlike on Floor 1, Adam spawned into a position near to the edge of the floor that was visible to him, and was both happy and angry at the same time.
He was happy that he was spawned into a safer position, but remembering the dangerous position he was spawned into previously, he was furious.
{Before the host asks, the host was spawned into the dungeon randomly and the system has no control over it, however, on this Floor the host was spawned near the edge} stated the system.
Leaving Adam with nothing to say as he rejoiced and focused on the dungeon.
"I have made it to Floor 2, but god knows how many floors there are and what LVLs cultivators might be at, so this is no time to be complacent" mumbled Adam to himself, in self-encouragement.
[Last time I purposefully lost control to the bloodlust as it gave me an exhilarating rush of power and freedom. However, now after it is triggered by the sight of blood and dead bodies, I will regulate it and keep it under control. And will only using the Bloodlust characteristic's extensions if there is no other choice] planned Adam as he looked around to see what kind of environment he was in.
All around him, he could see thick and dense trees that varied in heights and blocked his view of the sky, as he noticed that he seemed to be in some sort of rain forest.
Scouring his mind for what he knew about the rainforest ecosystem, he came up with multiple advantages and disadvantages that he began to recite to himself,
[The advantages are that they are densely populated, there are many places to climbed and hide and there is an abundance of food and resources that I have never thought about finding while in the dungeon. The disadvantages are exactly the same as what the rainforest had to offer to me as they would be offered to the large amounts of beasts that I will come across] observed Adam.
[Rainforests are extremely dangerous and there are many venomous snakes and insects, as well as carnivorous animals that attack people. The land can also be extremely dangerous and uneven, and the forest is so thick in some places that it would be nearly impossible to navigate] continued Adam.
Not letting it discourage him he steeled his will and withdrew his two daggers from his inventory.
Looking at its durability, it had dropped by 6 and had 4 durability points left.
"I may have to part way with these daggers soon" sighed Adam who grew fond to the dual daggers that enhanced his speed.
"I need to hunt and get new weapons and loot, without wasting time" stated Adam courageously, as he began to slowly and cautiously walk in between the trees and entered the rainforest.
