'You defeated the Qalupalik?""Yes I did." answered lex, with a proud smile."Have this."lex stretched his hand forward.Thanks Kate replied, stunned. Admiring the pearl Lex handed over to her."I thought about how servants could be bought out of slavery, but couldn't be themselves out."So how about we hire a commoner, and agree to hand him this pearl, to give you your freedom in return.Kate received the pearl and took a long stare at it."But." "What about you?"She asked. lex paused, "Well there aren't any options for now, a commoner can only buy a slave at a time and we can't possibly buy our selves out from the nobles."Lex answered, a thoughtful look strapped across he's face, "That's true." Kate spoke in a low tone."But it doesn't really matter Kate." Lex waved his hand dismissively."It doesn't?""Yes I'll figure mine out, what matters is that i promise to get you back home by all means." lex spoke with a warm smile.Kate face was flushed red, she was about to speak, but

Lex walked down the hall way towards the main lobby of the Knight's quarters, a bustling restaurant filled with knights of various kinds, he quickly spotted an empty table and two chairs. Moments later, a waiter found him. Without hesitation lex ordered food, when it arrived shortly after the waiter smiled and said "please enjoy." Lex nodded appreciatively before turning his attention back to the food, the food was not plain or luxurious but doused with an enticing aroma. "Not bad..Not bad at all." lex spoke as he dug in. "Enjoying your food?" A female voice spoke just right at his front. Lex was stunned to see the figure of Kate seating on the other side if the table, her chair titled backwards a bit, smirking. He looked side ways, amidst munching the delicious food he spoke, am I hallucinating? "Not at all." Kate replied. The armour looks good, "Makes it hard tracking you." Kate commented. Looking down at his glowing armour. "How did you get here so fast and unno

Lex dug deeper, then smiled, he wasn't wrong afterall. Deep in the ground was filled with various coins. *** Two hours passed. The dungeon shook and began crashing into itself, signifying the boss has been defeated, all of the callous miners and knights began finding their way out of the dungeon. Mandarin was the last to step out of the dungeon, he's knees shrinked down on the ground, protesting, he tried to catch his breath, trickles of sweat falling profusely from his head. He stared at the young noble Sebastian, who stood not too far away, chatting with some of the female miners, he wished he and his father were rich just like the noble Sebastian families, he wouldn't have to worry about sharing dungeon. It was meant to be seen as a sign of peace, but when it's done too much, it becomes really suspicious and it's an evidence that they've grown weak, Mandarin eyes searched for the callous miners wondering if they made it out. Everyone outside the dungeon began whisperi

The chill cold washed over lex like a frozen ocean, lex opened his eyes. Snow spread wide all around him, he could feel his feet sinking into the icey ground slowly, in the snowy region were also trees, icicles dropping from their leafs, he could also see snow coated mountains standing tall far away, he shivered. where he stood was a hill. "What is this place?" There was no response, only the deadly serene sound of the cold wind, and what seemed like a wolf's howl. {Ding!} A satisfying sound echoed in lex's mind, a drop of water threatened to fall from his eyes, after all that chaos, he'd absolutely forgotten he had a system. He smiled. Checking the notification. {Status function unlocked!} "Yes!" He'd been waiting for that for a while now, the status feature of the system. lex tapped on it. {Status window unlocked!} {Host's Status Window} {Name:} Lex sterling {Age} sixteen. {Title}: servant {Points}:0 {Skills}: Daze {Passive skills}: None {Mana pool}:

Lex let out a ragged breath and a weak shake, he'd been in the barely fitting hole for a couple of minutes now and the cold had began sinking into his very being. He had to leave really quick, not only because of the cold, but because of the lower hand quest itself, they hadn't been given any time frame and he was absolutely certain that sooner or later the ones with the magic stones would be transferred to the next round.For now, he had to find the magic stones and hold on to it, that was the most reasonable way to get out of this dungeon, it's not often a servant like him gets this opportunity. He retracted the spell. The vines immediately vanished. he was welcomed by the more intense cold of the dungeon.Compared to this, inside the vine ball was even warmer. He stood up on his feet, senses alert, eyes darting, this dungeon was even more dangerous than he has anticipated and he was going to take it more seriously from henceforth. Lex decided to check out the wolf and bear that had
