The Strange Life I Live

The Great Dungeon Region

Zen who had traveled for eight hours nonstop finally arrived in a city, where the center of this city there is a tower building that rises to the sky and is very large.

Although he arrived in this city at sunset and it could be said to be late. But the lights of – city lights show all sides of the city, including the residents of this city who are still passing by.

But the curiosity of Zen who wanted to see the city was first hindered by the fatigue he was experiencing, because the long journey he took without resting even though made him very exhausted. And this is also what makes Zen ignore the view of the city and prefer to herd the horse he rides to find an inn.

“Full Moon... Full Moon” muttered Zen who mentioned the name of the inn he was looking for, but until now had not been found by him.

The dark atmosphere with the lighting of several Light Gem accompanied Zen to pass through several places while he was busy looking for the inn he was referring to. Unlike the other ordinary cities, the city that contained the Great Dungeon in it was very different from the city in general.

Zen had passed through several places, where some women tried to offer his services openly to satisfy him, but Zen only passed them. Not only that, there were a lot of drunken people passing by in this city and there was even some commotion going on in some places that Zen passed by.

“Hah...hard city” murmured Zen.

Zen's journey was finally over, after what he was looking for finally managed to find him. Shortly before entering a fairly luxurious inn, he began to leave his horse to the inn and began to enter the luxurious inn in front of him.

“Welcome to Full Moon inn, do you want to stay here?” asked a woman with her cat ears to greet Zen.

“Ah... hello I want to stay here” reply Zen.

“Alright, the overnight price is 1 silver coin and an additional 50 bronze if you want to get breakfast” replied the receptionist to Zen.

Although he was not short of money, but the price of 1 silver per night was quite expensive according to Zen, because he had been staying at an inn that cost not up to 10 bronze to rent a room for overnight.

“Baik” reply Zen who took out two silver coins from his storage, because he also had to pay the price for the care of his horse which was as much as 50 bronze coins.

After paying, of course Zen went straight to his room and took a break, as he was already very exhausted from his journey. By directly laying his body on the bed, Zen immediately fell asleep regardless of the facilities owned by the room he rented.

The morning finally arrived. Zen who was still asleep finally began to wake up and look around his place to stay last night. While yawning, Zen finally realized the room he rented was quite good.

“Hahh... morning without Yui's company, makes me feel a little lacking something” muttered Zen who had missed his sister.

Because of the frequency they slept together, so the sense of loss made Zen a little sad. However he started to get out of his bed and wanted to wash his face before going down and having breakfast, before he reported his whereabouts to the Adventurers Guild.

A bustling atmosphere began to fill the restaurant area of this inn. With a few people having breakfast using their combat gear, Zen finally realized that this city seemed to be devoted to adventurers.

“This is your breakfast tuan” said a girl with her dog ears started giving Zen breakfast.

“Thank you” Zen replied with a smile and gave it some bronze coins to the dog-eared girl for her tip money.

Zen began to devour the piece of meat, sausage and egg that was provided for him, but suddenly a rabbit-eared woman sat directly in front of him, while Zen was still enjoying his meal.

“Why didn't you inform me of your arrival?” ask the woman who looks like a woman in her 30s who just sat in front of Zen.

“A-I?” zen asked then who was very confused as to why the woman in front of him was inviting him to chat.

“Ah... You must be Miss Mira is not?” zen asked then who realized that the woman in front of him was one of the party members from Lucas who he told to look for him when he arrived in this city.

“True, my name is Mira Tioa” reply that woman.

Mira Tioa is 35 years old and is the youngest member of Lucas' party. He decided to retire from his adventurer job because all the members of his group were retired, moreover he was also going to get married.

“I'm sorry Miss. but I was so exhausted last night” Zen replied and got a nod from Mira who understood her condition last night.

“Call me Mira only. Although our age is quite far, but I am not happy if it is considered like a senior” replied Mira later.

Zen just nodded and started a simple conversation with Mira. Mira herself from yesterday waited for Zen's arrival, but did not come and decided to rest. The next morning when he wanted to check on his horse, he accidentally saw a horse that he was very familiar with.

So he found out that Zen had arrived at this place without his knowledge, and immediately looked for his whereabouts who turned out to have spent the night at this inn of his.

“This is me returning your room rent” said Mira who had handed back two silver coins that Zen paid yesterday for her stay at this place.

“Why did you return it?” asked the confused Zen.

“You are the one who will heal my nephew, of course I want to repay my bud” Mira replied.

Mira is very close to Lenneth even considering him as her own sister. So when Lenneth gives birth to her daughter, of course she will immediately consider her daughter as her niece.

Even when Kileni was sick first, Mira also helped find any information to help Kileni's recovery, although the results were quite disappointing for him.

“Uncle Lucas already paid for it by looking after my sister, so you don't have to do anything to repay me” Zen's reply that refused the refund of the payment he paid yesterday to rent his room.

“Take. Besides Lucas and Lenneth have helped me a lot in the past” Reply Mira who continues to force Zen to take his money back.

Stubborn that Zen did not have to pay while he was staying at this place, making Zen by being forced to accept the money returned by Mira and start continuing his breakfast.

“From the news I received from Lucas, you want to enter the Great Dungeon right?” said Mira who had changed the topic of their conversation.

“Ya... I decided to be strong. So I chose to enter the Great Dungeon” Zen replied as he nodded in response to Mira's question.

Mira started to sigh, as she often met someone who was like Zen, who was very much like her, the extremely excited ones entered the Great Dungeon with the aim of raising their levels even sought out the huge amount of money within it but they instead lost their lives upon entering it.

“Observe – be careful. Because you're the one who can heal my nephew. So don't let you die inside and leave false hopes to my niece” said Mira.

Zen just nodded to hear the words of Mira and considered the words of Mira as a sentence of encouragement so that he was more careful – hearts when entering a place that is quite dangerous.

“Remember, do not be greedy and consider yourself strong. Because you feel you can defeat some low-level monsters at the lower level, you decide to climb up several floors quickly without going through the actual process” said Mira Later.

“I understand Mira, besides I still have people I love waiting for me to come home”
