The Strange Life I Live

The Dungeon

A ball of light accompanied a man who was currently entering a very dark place. Using his perception skill which he kept on activating, the man who was Zen continued to enter the dark place while illuminating his journey with the ball of light he grasped.

The skill to create a ball of light that he grasps is very useful, because he can use any object and embed mana and its light elements so as to make objects like balls of light, and make it easier for him to see in the dark.

“Although I use this light ball, it is still very dark in front of” Zen murmured because the light from the light ball he made, does not reach the hallway of the front area like endless.

Zen continued to enter this place deeper and deeper, until his steps stopped after he was blocked by a large door, after the hallway he was traversing had finally shown the end.

“Wait, isn't this very easy. Where are all the enemies?” zen said as he looked around and found nothing.

Zen had already entered and traced this Hidden Dungeon for four hours, but none of the enemies he had managed to find, and the journey was so smooth that he arrived here without any hindrance. But arriving – just arrived, a luminous object began to illuminate the place and make it start to light up the area.

“What is this?” murmured Zen who was a little surprised by the incident and started to turn off his light ball, as the place started to light up.

Zen then noticed the light-emitting object and began scanning it using his smartphone. The object is a Light Gem, which is a gem that is useful as a lighting in this world.

“Hmmm... There seems to be a storage place where around here, so this gem still works” Zen murmured.

Seeing the area where it was already bright, Zen slowly approached the door and saw many strange images and writings that he could not recognize. But that is not the case for Zen, because with the power of its smartphone, Zen managed to recognize the writing.

[Want to download the ancient vampire language and learn it?]

That's how it says on his smartphone. And without a second thought, Zen instantly downloaded the ancient vampire language and the information immediately entered his head, until Zen understood all the languages about ancient vampires as well as his writing.

“Alright, let's look at the meaning of this writing” Zen said as he began to read the words from ancient vampire writing written on several parts of the large door in front of him.

“Only Light can free our light”

That is the meaning of the writings that Zen read from the door. Zen was confused for a while, but he was sure that the only light from the writing was the owner of the light element.

"Hm... freeing light? is this hidden dungeon holding a sun inside?" zen murmured, because he did not understand the meaning of the entire sentence, even though he could read it clearly.

“Then what should I do?” zen murmured, because the writing did not explain in detail how to open the big door he saw.

But unfortunately, all the ancient writings written on all parts of the big door, have the same meaning, although the word – words written quite different. But still, the point is that only light can open this door, and make Zen even more confused.

“Ya... yes. I know light can open this door. But what should I do?” zen said that he took out his light ball back, to help him find important details on how to open the big door in front of him.

Although there was light illuminating the room, the area was still quite dark. So, Zen took out his light bulb again and began to illuminate the various areas of the door in front of him to look for important details in it.

“Hm... What is this picture?” zen murmured, after his light ball stopped right at an image.

A picture of a woman holding a ball can be seen drawn on the slightly up part of the door. But Zen still did not understand the image and continued to look for details that might help him.

With the ball of light helping her illumination, she began to illuminate the image of the ball a woman was holding. But suddenly, the light element he planted on his ball of light, began to be sucked into the picture of the ball the woman was holding as Zen illuminated it.

“Wait, do I have to stream light elements on this ball image?” zen murmured when he saw that his light ball was dead, as the light element he had planted on the ball of light he was grasping was completely drained.

Seeing that, Zen began to use his light element on the image of the ball, and slowly the light element he had was sucked in and made the big door start to vibrate and slowly open slightly.

“It works” Zen said after seeing the door in front of him start moving.

“Wait, didn't I pass the road earlier, I didn't find any monsters? Why are there so many footsteps now leading towards me from the road I've been on?” said Zen who was confused.

The quick steps of several undead like he had fought before, began to approach him. But what Zen saw made his legs instantly tremble, as his vision was currently seeing hundreds maybe even thousands of undead approaching him.

“Sial I don't want to die” said Zen who wants to rush – to run into the open door.

But before he entered, the undead arrived – just kneeled in front of him. This of course made Zen very confused by what he saw, but one of the undead who was still standing slowly approached towards him.

Seeing that, Zen remained vigilant and took out his shabby sword and pointed it forward and waited for the undead to approach him. The undead continued to slowly draw closer to Zen, then stopped right in front of the tip of the sword from Zen and pulled out something.

“A roll?” zen muttered as he saw the undead thrust something at him.

With a heart of –, Zen put his sword into his inventory and took the scroll. With the help of his mouth, he began to untie from the scroll and looked at the contents of the scroll.

It turns out that in it contains two scrolls that accumulate directly, one of which is a scroll containing writing and the other is a skill technique.

Seeing this, Zen began to read the writing first, as perhaps it would explain what he was actually going through at the moment.

[If you are reading this, you are the one who is predicted to come to this place. There may be a lot of questions you want to ask, but forgive me for just being able to give you this message, as the answer to all the questions you want to ask.

You must be very confused, why the Undead who are in front of you, all kneel. That was because I programmed them to be like that, to not attack someone who possessed the light element that entered the Hidden Dungeon created by my best friend.]

“Hm. so because of this I was not attacked” said Zen as he looked at the undead who were still kneeling before him. Maybe because he entered this place using the ball of light he created from the light element, making himself not to be attacked by them.

“But when I fought the previous enemy, didn't he clearly see me using my light element, then why did he attack me?” said Zen then, because Zen clearly used his mental skill earlier.

“Is the monster I'm fighting myopic?” murmured Zen who was confused and read the continuation of the letter he was holding

[From that big door, I sealed something very precious to me. Perhaps most hidden dungeons were created to confine a criminal or something dangerous, but what I was brackets about was not such a thing.

I shut the light of my life and that of my wife, our own flesh and blood, forced to protect her, from impending rebellion and to slaughter our entire race. So with this letter, I beg you to grant this shameless request of mine. Please remove the seal that locked our daughter away and take good care of her.

Honestly, the prophecy I received was limited to the slaughter of our race and you who will save our flesh and blood. But I am sure you are a suitable person to replace myself and my wife to take care of her.

All we want is a quiet and happy life, I hope you can grant our shameless request. Take it easy, we have prepared some gifts and some treasures to help you take care of him in a room right behind the altar that seals our flesh and blood.

So I write this with a full request for those of you who read this.

King of the Blanchard Kingdom

Vlad S's. Blanchard II]

Zen, who finished reading the writing on the scroll he received, was still trying to digest the word – words listed in it.

“Predicted? Why me?” zen murmured after going back to read the letter again, because he was still confused about what he meant by the prophecy written in the scroll.

But before he tried to re-examine the contents of the letter, an echoing voice began to be heard from behind the large door he had previously opened.

“M-Mama where are you?!”
