Debt 4 - The Dungeon is in the Sky

  Ryan was surprised by the amount of attribute points he acquired in just a few moments.

  It was practically like acquiring a premium welcome bonus from some game for participating in its pre-launch.

  Perhaps this was only due to the bug for which he had been hired, but compared to the heroines' statistics, he was still very low.

  He was still very low.

  But at least something calmed him, even if only a little.

  'At least I am sure that I won’t die from a single hit. Well, as long as one of them doesn’t hit me with all their strength'.

  Since Ryan already had higher Stamina and Psyche than the rest of the attributes, this time, with a cool head, he decided to distribute the points into STR and Luck.

  In total he acquired 430 skill points; 210 points were automatically applied to all statistics.

  And with the remainder of the 220 additional points he received, he placed 200 in STR and 20 in Luck.

  He reached a total of 610 STR points and 30 Luck.

  Though he was curious about how luck would affect things, considering it was quite high compared to the heroines.

  "Ryan, what are you thinking that has you so focused on that wall?" Mirian asked. She had come out of the bathroom; she had a towel around her neck and comfortable clothes on her body.

  Short shorts and a long shirt, with damp spots from her freshly washed skin.

  "It’s nothing. But how much longer will we stay here?"

  "Here in the dungeon? Well... until we get a weapon for you. That was what we agreed on, wasn’t it?"

  'Weapon? That sounds good...'

  Mirian approached and sat in front of Ryan.

  She extended her hand. And a bow appeared with a glowing aura covering it.

  "Helen and I have epic weapons. It’s not fair that, being on the same team, you still don’t have a rare or epic one. Especially because your staff broke, heh, heh, heh."

  'So my staff broke? But I don’t remember having a staff when I tested the game...'.

  Ryan reflected for a moment.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  'Could it be that... this world doesn’t follow the rules of the game one hundred percent? No, it doesn’t matter, it’s not like I know much about the game anyway...'

  "Are there other people who come to this floor? We are on floor one hundred, right?"

  "Of course not," Helen replied, just finishing her exit from the bathroom and walking toward where they were. She sat on the edge of the furniture where Mirian was.

  Helen crossed her legs and added.

  "We arrived at this dungeon by mistake after all."

  "Yup. If it weren’t because we fell off that dragon, who would imagine there would be a dungeon in the sky?"

  "That surprised me a lot, not even in the books was something like that mentioned."

  'Dungeon in the sky? Dragon... well, I’m trapped in a game. Those things shouldn’t surprise me.'

  "But then... how far are we from a city? Wait, and how long have we been here? Is anyone keeping track?"

  "I already forgot," Helen grumbled.

  "If I’m not mistaken, we’ve been here for 26 days... though it only took us 18 days to reach this floor. After killing the boss we were left with the refuge but, unfortunately, we didn’t find any more epic weapons. Although the monsters here are S-class and give us a lot of experience."

  "Used to give us, you mean. Now that we are S-class, it’s not so much anymore..." Helen stated.

  "Yes, you’re right."

  "You guys are in S-class... but I’m not," Ryan complained in a low voice.

  "That’s normal. A support’s job requires nothing more than mana. And you are a Rank B support, probably the only one in the capital."

  Helen paused.

  "Nowadays it’s very difficult to find Rank B or A supports."

  "Tsk, that’s why we didn’t look for another... and we have to stay with you being such a pervert..." Helen said in a low voice.

  "But you know I don’t do it on purpose..."

  "There, there, calm down. Even if there were another Rank B support, we would never leave you, right, Helen?"

  "Yes, yes."

  "Ha, ha, you must be more honest."

  "..."

  "Girls."

  Both looked at Ryan attentively.

  "How about we complete the dungeon again?"

  "What! Of course not."

  "Calm down, Helen. But Ryan, why are you suggesting that to us?"

  "It’s just... maybe I’ll find some weapon if we start from scratch."

  'It would be logical to think that if I don’t have a weapon it’s because I didn’t kill any monsters. From the first floor, with my increased statistics, I could get something, and even if not, I could gain more experience and level up.'

  "I understand... though we’ve been here for several days and nothing is happening, maybe we should leave. But this dungeon has no portal. Going to the first floor is, in reality... completing the dungeon backwards, heh, heh, heh."

  "Ha, that’s very annoying," Helen complained.

  "But it’s not like we were going to stay and live here forever, don’t you think?"

  "..."

  "You’re right, besides we can’t find good food anymore..."

  "...Well, even though Mirian cooks well, eating monsters is disgusting."

  Everyone fell silent.

  After processing it for a bit, Ryan broke the silence.

  "Then, let’s go. We’ve already spent many days in the dungeon."

  They nodded. After a moment they had already put on their armor and everyone left the refuge.

  The monsters of the area they had cleared had not yet appeared. According to what Helen and Mirian commented, each one appeared an hour after dying, so they went directly down to the 99th floor.

  "Tsk... Undead. I hate fighting those things," Helen grumbled.

  "Ryan," Mirian spoke.

  'I already know what they want. I’m not that stupid.'

  "Physical Enhancement."

  "Magic Enhancement."

  Their bodies lit up as they received the support enchantments and placed themselves on guard to fight.

  "You’d better have a decent order this time."

  "...Yes, don’t worry."

  'In fact, I had already forgotten, heh, heh.'
