Is this really a Game?!

"So, I heard you three are the top people in the town, mind telling us what needed all of you together to discuss?" Wolf sits down and stares straight at Ronny and the other two, the pressure he gives of makes them sweat bullets as they nervously reply

"I-it's a dungeon." Cameron was the one that answered, the strongly built middle-aged man knew they had nothing they could use to go against the group in front of them, not to mention that the dungeon he spoke of was incredibly dangerous, and not even the three of them together managed to pass even the outer layer of it.

"A dungeon?" Wolf raises an eyebrow after hearing about it, a dungeon so deep inside a monster-infected town had to be of a much higher level compared to the one they first went into, even the hidden dungeon was probably far below it. With their experience and the two titles, they gained after completing the hidden dungeon they were bound to get good rewards from it.

"What kind of dungeon are we talking about exactly?" Reign asks from the side, clearly interested in hearing more about it. The dungeon was the place they gained the biggest power-up so far after all.

"It's actually one of a couple of dungeons we have found, this one was the only one that was somewhat normal, like the others the description said it all, of course, the type of dungeon, the monsters we might find, the recommended level, everything." Cameron slowly narrates while Reign and the others listen, his description of the dungeon was similar to the one they got for the hidden dungeon, it seemed only dungeon A didn't have something like that.

"Well it said the recommended level was 18 but we wanted to check it out, after all with our abilities and strength we thought we could at least hunt the monsters in the outer parts of it, just to you know, gain some exp and level up," Cameron says before his expression changes a bit. "But the monsters in the dungeon, even the lowest level ones are 15, even with all three of us working together we could only take on one at a time and our efficiency was simply too low, it was better for us just to kill a bunch of low-level monsters for leveling."

"Understandable, but how did you get out of the dungeon, with your strength even surviving should be a tough ordeal, not to mention finishing it," Wolf says while staring straight into Cameron's eyes, not looking away for even a moment.

"W-well that's the thing, the dungeon doesn't require you to finish it, you simply need to get back to the starting point and it will take you out, all of the exp and coins you managed to get stays with you as well, so leaving was not a problem at all," Cameron tells them right away, he and the others had already finished a dungeon a while back, it was similar to the dungeon that Reign and the others did first, just a low-level dungeon that was there for newbies to conquer.

Ding!

"Oh." Reign and everyone got surprised by the notification in front of them, they were only interested in the dungeon because of the potential rewards they could get from it, never did they think it would be connected to their main quest.

"W-what is it?" Ronny stutteringly asks them while clenching his hands into fists out of nervousness, they all planned on saving the information about the dungeon for later, it was after all a very good place to train their men in the future, that however had to change as they could no longer have a monopoly in the town.

"Well I won't lie to you, we came here because of a quest, see our safe zone is quite different compared to yours and we got a quest to come in contact with you so that we could link them together, that way we could all travel via portal to each other, that would let you have a much easier way of going to low-level areas while for us it would mean the town and the high-level monsters are right here, a win-win situation don't you agree?" Reign smiles at them warmly, the smile from him brings shivers down their spines as they still remembered the horrifying speed he had shown before.

"Well yes, but what does the dungeon have to do with that." Lea picks up her courage and asks, she was the only woman zone leader in the town and she was quite brave, she knew that to become stronger she would have to do many dangerous things, but after hearing what Reign said she suddenly found a glimmer of hope.

"No idea, we just notified by the system that it's a clue of some sorts, seems like we need to go that dungeon of yours to find out more." Reign smiles straight at her which makes her turn her head around, blushing slightly, she was no schoolgirl that would fall in love with a man after just looking at him, it was more Reign's strength that made her look up to him as someone in charge and thus she was suddenly a bit shy towards him.

"Well then, shall we go?" Shadow stops leaning at a wall and asks everyone, he was a bit excited at the notion that they would fight with all they had in a dungeon again.

When they got out of the office they could all see hundreds of people waiting for them outside, everyone was curious about what the incredibly powerful newcomers wanted from them. Ronny stepped out and explained that they were here to help them and that they would get full details later as they had to go out and deal with something first. The crowd was skeptical at first but they remembered the terrifying strength Greenie had shown before and realized that if they wanted to do anything to them they would have done it earlier, there was no need for them to use dirty tactics or tricks of any kind.

The trip to the dungeon took them a full 20 minutes, they gave it their best to be as stealthy as possible and managed to get there without any problems. Right before getting to the dungeon however Beast stopped and told everyone.

"I can hear numerous people in front of us, they're all breathing normally, some a bit hurriedly, probably out of excitement or fear."

"Yup, just looking straight ahead I can see some weird things, somebody made an ambush for us, well, for you three to be more exact." Wolf looks over at Ronny as he says that, Ronny immediately gets nervous, for somebody to make an ambush right in front of the dungeon means they knew about it, and they have known for a while, otherwise why set up an ambush here?

"Don't worry, we'll deal with it." Tanks laugh a bit as he goes forward and pats Ronny's and Cameron's backs.

Once they got in front of the dungeon they could hear loud clamors as the buildings around them changed, steel plating was pushed down as tens of people that were dressed savagely jumped down. Two men came forward with gleeful looks on their faces.

"Well, well, if it isn't the three "holy ones" at one place." The one on the right laughs as he confidently walks towards them. "You never thought a day like this one would come huh?"

"Raz, you were alive you bastard?!" Ronny shouts furiously at the man, Raz used to be his right-handed man but Ronny went furious when he found out he was working with some raiders from the bad zones and killed him, well, he thought he had at least.

"Yeah boss, I managed to survive the fall back then, I really thought I was a goner for a bit, but I survived, and now I'm back." Raz smiles savagely before looking over at Reign and the others.

"Seems like you got some new helpers, well no matter, see me and my friend over here managed to get our classes too, and after one of my men spotted you and the other two here I thought why not kill you all." The man next to Raz licks his knife in anticipation of the fight, his bloodlust seeping out a bit as Ronny and the others became a bit nervous, they were not nervous about the fight, of course, Reign and the others can kill the men here with ease, they were nervous about what could have happened had they not come here today.

"Bloodlust, to give out such an amount means you killed your fair share of people, but the way you project it is simply too amateurish." Wolf shakes his head after seeing the killer next to Raz, someone with such skill was not common to see in today's world, but compared to other people he knew it was simply too low.

"Oh, you speak as if you can do better you blonde cunt, I think I'm gonna enjoy tea-" The man looks at Wolf with bloodshot eyes, before he could finish his sentence though he stops as he nearly chokes on his words. Wolf was emitting an aura of bloodlust much thicker and denser than his, he knew immediately that something was wrong, the group that was in front of them couldn't be mere helpers.

"Raz, we ne-" Before he could warn Raz his head gets thrown violently to the side as an arrow was pierced deep inside of it.

"What?" Raz looks at the dead body in front of him in shock before looking over at Beast who was holding his bow. Beast gives him a cold look before taking another arrow.
