Fwip-
"!"
Keara was surprised when Raven suddenly hugged her.
Her heart started beating rapidly and her cheeks started getting hotter.
"I love you."
"!"
And when Raven said that, Keara flinched and her eyes widened!
It's the first time Raven said those words to her!
(And it's actually Raven's first time saying those words again to someone after a very long time.)
And Keara can't help it but to grin ear to ear like an idiot.
"Keara..."
But she tried to calm herself when Raven called for her.
Then after that, she opened her mouth.
Keara was about to answer for Raven's call...
"I turned out liking you a lot..."
"More than I originally planned."
But Raven spoke first!
And his words made Keara speechless again!
She doesn't know what to say, no, Keara can't even think properly at the moment.
And while Keara is in that state, Raven let go of her and he also feed himself from Keara's arms.
"I really better get going now, see ya."
Raven said.
Swoosh-
Then he disappeared from Keara's sight.
And in the next second, he was already with Alec and the others.
"..."
Keara was left standing in the same place, speechless and motionless.
Everything happened so fast that she wasn't even able to utter a word to Raven.
And Raven's words are still lingering in her mind too.
Her face is continuously getting redder and her cheeks are getting hotter.
Then suddenly, Keara recalled how she met Raven.
And she remembered how their relationship started...
'It happened really fast too...'
Keara thought.
She and Raven got in a relationship only after a few hours of meeting each other.
Actually, at that time.
Keara just really want someone to rely on.
So she was happy when she and Raven got in a relationship.
She was able to rely on Raven, and Raven supported her a lot of times too.
Raven also takes care of her and he also shows interest in her.
Keara met a lot of people and many happy things happened to her after meeting Raven.
Keara genuinely enjoyed all of the time she spent with Raven.
And so, in the end, she came to love everything about him.
But even with all of that...
Keara actually thinks that Raven would probably leave her sooner or later.
Though, she still continued supporting and loving Raven.
Keara doesn't care if she gets hurt in the future.
'I just want be with him, even only a second longer.'
That is what's in her mind everytime.
But just now, after hearing Raven's words earlier.
All of the negative thoughts in Keara's head disappeared like magic!
Keara's eyes got teary, and she have a sweet smile on her face.
Levina is with her, but at the moment, Keara is ignoring everything around her.
"I'll see you later!"
She exclaimed and waved her hand to Raven.
Raven looked at her, and with a smile on his face.
"Take care."
Raven muttered.
Swoosh-
Then he and the others entered the dungeon.
(Levina isn't saying a thing because for some reason, she feels like she shouldn't disturb Keara.)
***
A bit earlier.
...
[Raven's POV]
Swoosh-
After saying a few words to Keara, I left and joined back to Alec and the others.
"..."
And as soon as I arrived, I immediately noticed that all of them are looking at me.
So I looked at them.
"What?"
Then I asked.
And after a while of silence.
"What was that just now?"
[What was that just now?]
Curtis and Sariel asked me the same question at the same time.
And I can easily tell what they're asking about.
I glanced at Keara for a second.
Then I looked back at Curtis.
And with a sly smile.
"A confession."
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) I answered his and Sariel's question.
"Wha–"
"Let's go."
Curtis was about to say something again.
But I spoke first.
And at my words, Alec and the others nodded their heads.
I know that they're curious too at what happened between us and Keara, but I have no reason to tell them that.
So I just shifted the topic.
"Yeah, let's go."
Eve said.
And after that, we all started walking toward the dungeon's entrance.
But when we were about to enter it...
"I'll see you later!"
I heard Keara's voice behind me.
So I looked back at her, Alec and the others did too.
Then we saw Keara waving her hands energetically with a beautiful smile on her face.
I smiled too.
"Take care."
Then I muttered.
Swoosh-
And finally, Me, Alec, and the others entered the dungeon.
***
Swiish-
Immediately after Raven and the others stepped inside the dungeon.
The surrounding got dark and they felt a familiar nauseous feeling all over their bodies.
"..."
Though, their expressions didn't change at all, even a bit!
And as soon as they entered the dungeon, they all started scanning the surrounding!
The entrance of the dungeon is just a few steps behind them.
But there's no light coming from that entrance.
It's because the inside of the dungeon is completely separated from the outside like a different dimension.
And if you want to know why is that...
The specific reason behind it is still not known until now, even by the otherworlders.
Anyway, back to Alec and the others.
"A staircase huh..."
Raven mumbled after scanning through the surrounding.
And just as he said.
They're all in a staircase, it's wide enough for them to all move around comfortably.
And at the moment, they can only go down.
Also, the staircase is long as hell as Raven and the others can't even see the end of it.
The wall and ceiling around is smooth and they're all natural brown like a tunnel you see in movies.
And the only source of light in there are from the torches on the wall.
"We're the only ones here."
It was then, Aoi spoke.
"I don't sense any danger too, so there's no trap around."
And Adelle followed after.
They both used their skills.
Aoi used her level 4 skill, <Presence Detection>.
While Adelle used her level 3 skill, <Danger Sense>.
And after hearing their words.
"Okay then, let's go."
Eve said without even doubting Aoi and Adelle.
She trust both of them that much.
The others trust Aoi and Adelle too.
So they all calmly walked down the staircase.
And Raven, he stayed at the back of the group.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
And as they were going down the stairs.
'Sariel...'
Raven called Sariel in his mind.
[Got it.]
Which Sariel immediately replied.
=====
[Labyrinth Of The Nurturer]
Difficulty:D
<Description>
-A mysterious and confusing underground dungeon.
-This dungeon is created by god to help the humans become stronger.
-This dungeon will boost one's growth by 50% for a week.
-The boost is effective only when the person is inside the dungeon.
-The boost starts after the person enter the dungeon and end after a week, whether they're inside or outside the dungeon.
=====
Then a Sariel projected the dungeon's description to Raven!
And after reading the description of the dungeon.
A smile appeared on Raven's face.
'I'm glad this dungeon is still the same.'
'I was worried that the Higher Being changed something about it.'
He thought.
'With this, I'll be much stronger after a week.'
Then Raven added.
[Labyrinth Of The Nurturer], in the novel, it was a dungeon that Alec and the others would raid after being a sophomore.
They would grow a lot after doing so, but they didn't know it was because of the dungeon's effect.
So as a result, they wouldn't be able to make full use of the one week boost.
But it's different from Raven though.
He's aware of the dungeon's good qualities.
And he doesn't plan to waste any time at all!
And just a fact, Raven actually got the idea for this dungeon from games!
And he calls this dungeon by a different name.
And that is...
"The tutorial dungeon number one."
Raven mumbled in a voice only him can hear.
