All-in-One System: All I Need is Erotic Coins

Elena did not know what to say. She was just staring at Damian, wondering who he was and why he was so interested in knowing what their reunion was about.

"What do you know about the dungeon?" she said.

Damian was confident he was one of the people who had explored the dungeon the most — seeing how he had gone to the last floor back then — but he looked at her and said, "Just the basics, like everyone else. Why? Was your reunion about the dungeon?"

She bit her lips, uncertain if she would tell him or not.

"Look, you will find out about this in no time, but there's a big problem happening to all of us. You know that almost everyone is on this dungeon floor, right? The tenth level."

That was an information everyone knew. Most of the humans that were native to the dungeon were on the tenth level, and when Earth suddenly froze and everyone had to flee to the dungeon, the tenth floor became the home to the humans from Earth too.

After the 11th floor and onward, one could not say there was civilization there. Maybe a few tribes, and scattered cities, but the place was too dangerous, so the number of humanoid races like humans, elves, orcs, or rational alike were few.

"Yes, I do. Can you just spill what is happening? I don't have all the time in the world," Damian said, coldly staring at Elena.

"Something happened on the portals. All the portals that go to the 11th floor, at least all the portals we know about, don't go to the 11th floor anymore, but rather to a different one no one knows about. Apparently, someone went there and managed to talk to other humans, which are common, and for them, they have no idea what a dungeon floor is."

When Elena said that, the first thing that came to Damian's mind was that dungeon floor he went to, the one he met the giants. Based on what he knew, it was like a new world there with all kinds of races, kingdoms, etc. They didn't move around going from floor to floor. They remained there, and lived, just like humans did on Earth.

'Is it that level or another one?' pondered Damian.

It could be the same level, yes, but it could also be another one, either way, the phenomenon was pretty interesting and strange. Why did the portals stop working?

"How did this person who went there survive? If it's an unknown dungeon level, then it is surely dangerous."

"It's more dangerous than here because we have secured the roads, but that doesn't mean it's impossible for us to go there and return. We are not that weak!" said Elena.

Damian could not help but remember how weak he felt back on that island with the giants, when the underworld king came to get him.

"Why does it feel like you are not telling me everything?" Damian asked, utilizing his Telekinesis to squeeze her body, making her feel a pain creeping in.

He could see she was telling the truth about what happened to the portals leading to the 11th floor, but there was something else she was not telling him.

Elena tried to withstand the pain as she said, "Do you know all the humans that came from somewhere else? They said the place they came from froze suddenly."

Damian knew it very well because he was one of the ones who had to flee, "Yes, I do. What is it?"

"I don't know what caused their world to freeze, but I do know the floors 1 to 9 of the dungeon are frozen too. I am not certain but I feel like the tenth floor will be next. I don't know when, or why, or by who, but I know it will happen. We must start moving everyone to the next floor, or just abandon those who don't listen," Elena said.

It was a shock to Damian. He analyzed her facial expressions, trying to be certain she was telling the truth. Apparently she was, but Elena could also be a pretty good liar.

"How do you know about this?" he asked.

"A friend of mine saw it, and ran away, managing to find a portal leading to the next floor. It takes a while for the whole floor to freeze, and if you are fast enough, you can run away," Elena said.

"Can I meet this friend of yours and use my abilities to see what he saw so that I know it's true?"

Elena awkwardly laughed, "I know this is not a request but an order, so yes, you can meet him."

Damian was pleased to hear that, "At least you know your place. Now, when can we meet this friend of yours?"

"He is not in Black Crow city but in another one. It will take us a while to get there. Me and everyone else you saw in the alley are going there tomorrow."

"So we are all going together tomorrow. How does it sound?"

Elena knew she had no choice.

Damian spent the night in Elena's house, making sure she did not try anything funny. After a while, he stopped using his Telekinesis and let her do whatever she wanted. She was smart enough not to try to harm him with sneak attacks.

In fact, the more they talked, the more Damian saw she was not a bad person, and she also got more used to Damian's presence.

When morning came, Damian went back to the city, trying to look for Morgana, who was nowhere to be seen. Damian received a letter delivered by a courier, which belonged to Morgana.

"I have some business to attend to, so I will be leaving for a while. We can meet up in the future, I am sorry for this. Also, your friend Billy the mushroom is more interesting than I thought, so I will be taking him with me. Also, start thinking of moving away from the tenth floor, it will not be safe anymore."

Damian felt wronged when he read the letter. Morgana got Billy, a mysterious mushroom from the latest floor of the dungeon and ran away.

'Why do I feel she is up to something? Especially considering the last part of the letter.'
