Complaining of Fate Within the Dungeon
Chapter 1: The World's Transfers.



"... Through this letter, we regret to state that you did not pass the interview stage. Thank you for your participation. "


"Argh.... Failed again!. " I muttered I threw the letter I received from the company I was applying for.


I lay my body on a thin bed, and there were papers and documents all around me.


"Why is it so hard to get a job?. If this continues - can I be evicted from the contract!. "


My name is Teguh Prakoso, a 21-year-old boy who is found everywhere. It has been 3 years since I graduated from school and decided to move to a big city, trying my luck to get a job in the capital, but not as easy as I imagined. I was able to survive this far because of the odd jobs I was working on.


I got up from my fall, started to re-write various cover letters. In the next search I will put several CVs to various places. There may be at least one who passes the interview stage.


Holding on to that hope raised my spirits.


I also continued to my next destination.


...****************...


"Well... " I took a long breath. After going to and fro looking for job vacancies and putting some applications but the results are still nil.


I sat pensively in a chair at the train station, watching people passing by having their own goals and activities. There is a desire to mourn fate, but nothing will change.


After thinking for a moment, there was an announcement that my destination train would arrive. I intend to go to the next city that might provide job openings.


The train arrived immediately, blowing away dust and various papers scattering, there was something strange. The train does not stop, continues to go very fast until its shape is irregular. Faint - faint ear-splitting sounds rang out, the longer it was very clear and made my head dizzy.


The dust that was scattered pierced my eyes, making me reflexively close my eyes but still mingle.


The situation lasted for a short while, once the strange situation became normal, I opened my eyes. And suddenly I was in the middle of the city.


"Where is this?. "


I was amazed that I should have been at the train station. But now it is in the middle of the city. Not only that, this city is very different from my city. Buildings like medieval Europe, wheeled vehicles pulled by horses, as well as different pedestrians. There are various creatures, large, small, hairy and animal-eared. Is possible?.


"Is this another world?. " My words were joyful.


Another world is a setting that is very often used in fantasy novels. I know because I'm a fan of that genre.


With excitement, walk here. Some people see me as weird, probably because my clothes are so different. Suits and shirts are not as common here as they seem.


Without feeling it, I was already in front of the Guild office and looking around there were adventurers passing by using cool equipment.


"Not another world is the name if there is no adventurer Guild. "


With a final determination, I entered the Guild office and headed for the nearest counter.


"Welcome to the Guild, there's something I can help you with!. " A woman dressed in adult clothes greeted me cheerfully. Her professional smile makes me nervous.


"I'd like to register as an Adventurer. Are there any conditions for signing up?. " I said a little doubt.


"Of course not!. Please fill out this biodata. Can you read and write?. " ask.


I'm nodding. Although it's another world, but I understand what he's saying. I can also read in this world. The receptionist's brother, Violet from her Nametag, presented a Paper and a pen.


"Alright, all are filled please wait a minute ya~." Violet left with my biodata. Not long after he came back.


"Congratulations, from today on you are an Adventurer. Please accept the identification!. " Violet gave a necklace containing a short bio engraved on it, commonly called a dog tag that is often worn by soldiers.


"If you see the Adventurer who died in your adventure, please bring back his dog tag for Guild information. "


From Violet's words, I can deduce many Adventurers who did not return from exploration, and carrying their dog tags is one of Hunter's surviving tasks.


I received the identification and put it around my neck.


"Then, let me explain about the adventurer system. "


I'm nodding.


"The Hunter consists of rank E to Rank S. Right now you are in Rank E, the lowest rank. You are only allowed to take E rank quests or 1 level above it. "


I looked at his explanation.


"Of course, but we also have the authority to ensure the safety of adventurers if it is not enough to take the quest. "


I continued to listen to information and advice from Violet's mouth until it felt like everything she had said. After that, I went to the quest board to take a certain quest.


"Hunts 5 slimes and takes the core of his soul. "


I think this is a suitable quest. Slime, a common monster in every RPG game. By taking the quest to Violet.


"Hunting Slime huh?. I think it's good. Let me process. Please bring suitable equipment. I recommend going to the Briar's Blackmith supply store to get beginner gear. " He processed it and allowed me to carry out the quest. Also suggest a place for me.


Well, hunting Slime in a suit is very inappropriate.


I got out of the guild building and headed to the Suggested place.


...****************...


"So here huh?. "


I entered the shop, a bell ringing as I opened the door.


"Welcome, please dipili-geh, new adventurer. Please wait a minute!. DAD, IT'S YOUR TURN. "


A female shopkeeper greeted me cheerfully but soon her expression changed upon seeing the mark on my necklace. He also left while shouting.


Shortly after, an old man with a white beard appeared.


"Please forgive my daughter, she really dislikes dealing with new adventurers. So what can I help you with?. "


I don't know what to say about his son's behavior but for now all I need is equipment.


"I'm going to hunt Slime, do you have any advice that is needed?. "


"Hmm, polite customer. I didn't think you'd ask us for advice. All right let me see first. "


The old man checked my body, occasionally touching my hands and muscles.


"You are very weak, like a withered twig that can break at any time with a single touch. What have you been doing all this time?. "


Her honest comments hurt me, but that's the truth.


"you're invisible from the village, are you a former noble who lost his power?. "


"Well, you can think of it that way. "


"I won't ask your reasons, but because you've been polite. I would suggest light armor with leather shoulder protection. Slime doesn't have a hard body I think the daggers will be enough because they move fast enough. "


The old man took out the equipment and handed it to me.


I took all of that and put it on. My appearance is like the default character at the beginning of the game.


"It's so good, how much is this?. "


"I'll give you 1 gold coin and 10 silver coins. Daggers are common production, so I sell them cheap. "


The old man mentioned the price - the price of the equipment I was wearing. In retrospect, I have no money in this world.


"Pak Briar, look-alike. "


"Don't call me that, it's my grandfather's name. My name is Bayden. But usually called Babeh. "


"Ah, yes. Excuse me. Look Babeh, I don't have any money. Can I pay for it with my clothes. " Say I put on the clothes I was wearing.


"Hmm, normally I would throw you out immediately, but I will temporarily accept this shirt of yours. You can pay if you have the money. " Babeh let me pay later. As polite to give an advantage.


Once I feel enough I intend to leave the place.


"Wait, take this!. "


Babeh called me and then threw a helmet. Surprised, I had trouble receiving the helmet.


"To guard - keep protecting your head. "


"Thank you!. " I also left cheerfully. If I get the money later, I'll upgrade my equipment at this store again.


...****************...


I swung my dagger, attacking the slimy creature that jumped to and fro known as the Slime. In order to defeat him I had to stab the core that was inside his body. Her body made like transparent Jelly makes it easy for me to see the core, but still difficult because of her movements are quite nimble. After recklessly chasing after him I finally managed to hit the core of his body. The slime disappeared and gave rise to a soul crystal sized like a small pebble.


"With this 5. huh, I think I've hunted everything according to the quest." I said as I wiped the sweat on my forehead and stuffed the little soul crystal into my pocket.


6 Hours have passed since I entered the eastern forest where the quest took place. I've beaten 5 Slime. That is natural, because only beginners, monsters that inhabit this forest are weak, but should not be underestimated. The deeper the forest I enter, the more powerful monsters there will be.


"I think that's enough for today. I wonder how much I got from completing this quest. " I exclaimed as I shook - rocking the pocket pouch containing the soul crystal.


"Maybe I'll hunt down some more slime. Maybe it can add to the coffers of money. " I also entered the forest deeper in spirit.


When a moment entered the forest, suddenly my feet stepped on something.


"!!. "


A light came out from under my feet.


"What'sthis?. A trap?. "


The light grew brighter, and made my eyes glare and reflexively closed both of my eyes. This feeling is almost the same as what I felt when I first arrived in this world. My body became light and seemed to float. In an instant my body disappeared and moved somewhere.
