Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra



In the outer zone of Ivane, at the central plaza where one road leads to the Inner zone while the other leads to the outskirts of the city.

There was a three-story building that had a tag of a jewellery shop on it. It was one of the famous jewellery shops in the area that every commoner fawned after.

The sleek, stylish, and cost-effectiveness of the jewellery pieces, attracting the attention of the masses, was only second to the noble shops in the inner zone.

Unfortunately, today the crowd that frolicked before it was nowhere to be seen in its vicinity.

The store had closed for the day making many people go away in dissatisfaction.

The sun had just set and the moon slowly hung up in the night sky. The road was filled with crowds walking across the plaza.

The gentle rays of the rising moon slide through the window brushing the darkness inside the room.

A black-haired man with dark blood-stained clothes walked gently humming a pleasant song.

"It feels stuffy."

Muttering to himself, he opened the curtain enabling the moonlit to pour in and light the whole room.

Bodies lay over the thick puddle of blood and in the middle sat a blue-haired boy staring at the freaked man before him.

Taking a deep sigh, he squinted his eyes toward the black-haired boy who wiped the blood from his daggers using the curtain while spouting some random bullshit again.

'Is this guy normal? I mean, I knew he was far from being normal before but now it seems, I have to keep an eye on him to make sure he isn't a psychopath or mass serial killer.'

The blue-haired boy stared at the corpses that had been struck at vital points accurately. Even, he can't attack the vital points of a person with such precision.

And throughout all of this, he was as calm as still water seemingly used to this kind of shit.

"Hey, stop giving me that look. It gives me the creeps. Are you thinking about getting rid of me Frederick?"

"Yes!"

"Ouch!"Parth clutched his heart and spoke with a sorrowful expression.

"You don't have to be that direct."

"Are you used to all this?"Frederick asked solemnly.

"Yes!"Parth nodded nonchalantly.

"When did you kill for the first time?"

"One day I angered my grandpa. He then threw me out of the house without giving me a penny. I roamed in the dark alley for weeks without food and a bad situation led to another."Parth spoke with a serious expression which surprised Frederick.

"How did you anger him to such an extent?"Frederick asked curiously.

"I played a prank on him."

"H...Ehhh!"Frederick's expression stiffened and for a moment, he wanted to hit his head.

'Is his whole family a psychopath or is he lying?'

'I shouldn't have asked him.'

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The groan drew the duo's attention.

"This man is a hard nut. I can't believe this asshole had the guts to steal noble jewellery and sell them at such a low price."

"Hey man, did you replace your meatballs with diamonds by surgery?"Parth spoke, giving a bewildered look.

"Shut up!"Frederick screamed.

"What are you cooking here and why is the ring not coming out?" Frederick asked in a threatening tone, making the man shriek in fear.

Dungeon Ring...

An unranked artifact of unknown origin. Unlike other dimensional rings having a blank void space, the dungeon ring had a mini world of 10000 sq ft long. It was a world in itself like a dungeon and the most important feature of it was the ability to store living beings.

You can keep living breathing beings inside it for a certain time without them being affected. It had a great value for the monster tamers who unlike summoners had to carry their pets all around.

Imagine stuffing a hoard of tamed beasts inside it which could be used in case of trouble. You can carry your secret force inside it and enter enemy territory making him lose his guard.

This Dungeon ring was auctioned two years ago however before Frederick could buy it, this ring was stolen. He came here to retrieve this ring thinking that this was a place for thieves to sell stolen things...

However, in the basement, they found deformed corpses of humans and beasts showing clear signs of undergoing some kind of shady experiments.

Encountering this, Frederick was sure that the matters involving this place were too deep. This involves something rotten and he had a bad hunch about it.

At first, he just wanted to knock them out but he changed his plans. After killing everyone, he knocked the guy out and tried to take the ring but it seems as if the ring was adamant about staying with the owner.

"How...How did you know about this place?"

"You shouldn't have come."

"Once they find out about this."

"They will kill me, burn me?"

"They will butcher me. Cut my family into pieces and force me to eat them..."

"Arghhhhh!"

Frederick got up from his seat with a bewildered look trying to make sense of the person's words.

"This guy seems to have lost his mind."Parth reacted seeing the man pulling out his hair and scratching himself while screaming like a maniac.

"Who are they?"Frederick asked cautiously.

Laughing hysterically, wild madness shone in his eyes.

"The ring can only be transferred and I don't know if killing helps," Frederick muttered.

"Let's just cut his hand and take it," Parth suggested giving the man a deathly glare.

"Will it work?"Frederick spoke.

The man mumbling bullshit jumped towards Frederick trying to bite him but he was sent flying by Frederick's slap.

"I wanted to extract information but it seems....."Frederick sighed and carried on what Parth suggested.

"You will not have the ring. It can only be handled by the master's will."The man shouted and laughed.

"Hahahahaah!"

"You wasted your time and your life for this worthless trash."

"I can't let them find out."

"I can't.."

"Die…Only your death can keep this secret."

Frederick, who just took a step forward, feeling something amiss, noticed a subtle glint flashing over the ring that alarmed him.

"Damn!Parth run."Frederick screamed in panic.

"Why? What happened?"Parth flinched back a bit and asked in fright.

Instead of getting an answer, Frederick's image blurred before his eyes, and his body got yanked backward.

Parth felt a tight hold over his nape and his body jerked as he was pulled out like an inanimate object.

"The ring had a self-detonating feature. If a person sets it on detonation mode, any other person except the owner touching it would make it explode. It was not there before but it seems these people, these maniacs, had experimented and messed up with the ring. This guy just activated detonation," Frederick gritting his teeth in anger used time dilation to slow down the time after his senses screamed of the impending danger coming from behind.

Pulling Parth, he threw his spear blasting a hole over the wall, and jumped down the building.

As soon as he landed, he yelled trying to warn the people walking on the roadside"Run away from here...There is going to be an explosion."

"There is a bomb inside which is going to be detonated.

His words startled everyone. Unwilling to take any chances, many decided to believe in the blue-haired boy and ran away in fear.

Frederick and Parth ran for their life and a few moments later, the whole area shook with an explosion.

A cloud of mushrooms of rose and fire spread widely all across the street. People who were warned and believed in Frederick gasped in shock seeing the bright erupting light.

Those who did not believe him or were unlucky to be there in that area, found themselves drowning in misery as the explosion was not the end of the misery.

..........

Few minutes before the explosion...

Stretching his arm, Lucas yawned and stared at the crescent moon.

"...Thank God, we survived. The E-rank gate suddenly changed to D rank out of nowhere."

After coming out they found Reynolds and Scotch with some hunter department members. They were scared silly seeing the dungeon distortion in rank, fortunately, they were able to come out safely.

"Did my bad luck affect it?"

Lucas chuckled thinking it was quite absurd.

He was not a villain named Unlucky Man nor he was one of the ill-fated heaven punishment bearers in some kind of wuxia cultivation world.

Lucas, walking toward his inn, stopped in his tracks. His gaze struck a small stall with a Fortune Prediction banner.

People walked beside it turning a blind eye and no one seemed to be interested in it.

A woman in her 30s or so sat there shuffling a deck of cards. There was an air of mysticism around her.

Her aura felt a bit unnatural. Lucas had never had his fortune or life predicted previously. Most of them were scammers, however, something inside his heart urged him to do this.

Lucas, unable to stop himself, decided to give it a try. At most, he will lose just a few coins.
