World’s Strongest Became the Game’s Weakest Villain

Chapter 82: Chapter 80: Deep Down Town

"You here to register as an adventurer?"

A giant wall stretching dozens of meters in the sky, fortified by my multiple layers. I was standing in the checking area of the southwestern gate. Inside this place made specifically to enter aspiring and active adventurers into the town, I was being interviewed by a knight.

The symbol of a peaky mountain with a snow cap was studded on the knight's armor, it was the emblem of the Deep Down Town and not of any specific country or organization.

"Right, here is my ID," I said, pulling out my platinum identification badge. The knight looked at the badge in my hands and gulped.

"A noble? Sir, did you possibly run away from your home—"

"Of course not," I said.

"Well, alright. I don't think a runaway noble would be so collected in such a situation. I apologize for any inconvenience, sir."

I waved at the knight, telling him it wasn't a biggie.

"That said, sir. You have come on a tight rope. The examination for the adventurers guild starts tomorrow, you should rush in right now and go to the guild house. It's on the third block."

"Thanks!" I said and moved toward the other side of the door.

A different world opened up to me beyond the door.

Giant houses and buildings going up three to five floors high filled my sight. With masterful planning, the structures of wood and bricks were lines up in perfect squares around the clean wide roads. The stone roads were cold as the bulged up into a sidewalk near the houses and flattened to a wide road for two carriages to move side by side.

Hawkers and vendors rolled their shops on wheels around town while children rushed around, dragging their parents to different places. A few kids were coursing through the perimeter of the giant walls, greeting the people coming in.

I slowly started making my way ahead through the streets. Every turn I took led me to more houses and even more structures out in the public. The street lamps on the sidewalks mentioned the directions while long boards stuck out of the different establishments.

I followed the streets down, from tenth to fifth and then fourth, and at last, I came to the first.

The number of buildings became scarce with each step before completely disappearing. Past the narrow streets, I rushed out into the main line in front.

A section of the sky had fallen on the ground.

Stretching hundreds of meters in diameter, a single, clear opening in the earth with its span reflecting the sky above.

This was the great labyrinth. The Deep Down Dive.

A wave of nostalgia hit me at once. The shape and the entrance, the thrill of facing it head on. It was just like seeing a gate from Yujin's lifetime.

I took in a deep breath and moved through the streets again. I couldn't go in just yet. There was still a little work left.

Soon enough, I found myself facing the enormous building of the adventurer's guild. People in armors and robes carrying weapons and staves moved around at a number that couldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as the one I had seen with Keith.

Many laughed and giggled while many others stretched their muscles and prepared to move to their work.

"That guy said its on the third block... but."

The entire third block was the guild house.

Impressed, I went up to the front door and pushed it open. Since I was at the adventurer's guild after all, there was something I wanted.

I desperately wished someone from inside would say 'this place is not for kids' and then push me out.

The door swung open and I stepped in.

Many eyes turned toward me as I walked in. From the people eating at the in-house restaurant to the people on the second floor deck to even the ones chilling around at the lodge.

Come! Tell me I can't enter this place!

"That kid looks strong."

"He's also handsome, think he's single?"

"Didn't you just get rejected by every girl who came to register, are you going for guys now?"

"Hey, hey, what rank do you think this guy is? Looks like a veteran."

"Fuck that's a different matter. How do you even know I got rejected?!"

I sighed and shook my head. Running my hand through my hair, I smiled.

Of course, how could people think of attacking me after seeing my face?

I strode up to the reception desk, walking past the chandelier illuminated room and its wooden floorboards as I stopped in front of a lady. I slammed my hand on the desk and smiled.

"I'd like to register, please."

"Alright, just step back."

Yup. Saw that coming. I took a step back and smiled normally this time, just enough to show that I was a normal person. I had no idea if it had any effect, though, since the lady didn't change her posture at all and started speaking.

"You are not an adventurer, then?"

"That is correct."

"And you'll like to register for tomorrow's exam, correct?"

"That is correct."

"And did you make a contract with a system?"

"¿cómo?"

"System?"

What the hell?
