Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Chapter 128: Unique Dungeon Quest, The Start of the Raid

Nero was a bit surprised as he heard Village Chief Pan's words; he knew that the mission she wanted to give would certainly not be of a common standard from the look on her face. He thought for a moment before he looked at her with firm eyes and spoke, "Grandma Chief, please do tell me of its details, I'll do my very best."

Village Chief Pan's eyes flickered when she heard Nero's words; she looked at him profoundly for a while before she spoke again.

"Good, you are as brave as you are capable little one; I won't keep you here as the dungeon will soon surface. Now then, my task for you is simple; there is a treasure stashed away in the Palace of Horrors. Find it and bring it back to me."

The instant Nero heard those words, the space before his eyes glowed as a screen appeared before him.

The moment Nero accepted his quest, he stared at the village chief and nodded before turning around and leaving. Village Chief Pan looked at his back and made a gentle smile as she thought to herself.

'I'm curious to see how he performs during this raid.'

After thinking such thoughts, her eyes shifted towards the entire crowd waiting for the right moment. Nero, who had only left her position, halted his steps once he arrived near Elly.

"Nero, what do you think about the quest? Can you face that monster?" Elly asked as she walked over.

Nero looked at her with puzzled eyes as he spoke, "Huh? What monster?"

Elly made a strange look as she spoke, "What do you mean by what monster? It's the dungeon quest that everyone got to defeat that Master of Horrors."

When Nero heard this, his face suddenly changed as he thought, 'This... what the hell? Is my quest different from everyone else? I really have a bad feeling about all this...'

As Nero pondered to here, his face turned pale, Elly seeing his look felt a little worried, she looked at him with her large eyes and spoke, "Hey, are you okay? You look a tad bit pale."

Nero gulped at those words, using this time to calm himself as he hurriedly fixed his manner and returned to his usual state. He stared at Elly and replied, "It's fine Elly, it must have been the rain; maybe I'm coming down with a small flu.'

Elly gave him a suspicious look but seeing that he had turned his head away, she frowned and only thought to herself.

'Hmph! He's acting strange; I better keep an eye on him just to be sure.'

Not knowing of Elly's thoughts, Nero's attention was on his quest and its differences from everyone else; he pondered for a moment before shaking his head as he couldn't find an answer.

At this time, he looked around the area, only to notice faces belonging to Thunder's Daughter, Crazy Blade, and a few others mixed into the crowd of newbies. Even the fabled Rising Fox, also known as Mia, was visible as if she sensed Nero's stare; she glanced over at him and smiled before sending him a suggestive wink.

Nero shook his head at this; though he was a bit charmed by her beauty, he knew this wasn't the time nor place to think such thoughts.

A pity for him, however, the keen and observant Elly had noticed that brief exchange, her eyes turned cold as she glared at Mia like she was looking at a corpse.

Mia naturally sensed Elly's gaze: after a moment of surprise, her lips curved into a smile as she proudly stood taller as if emphasizing her chest.

Elly looked down at her undeveloped bosom and bit her lips before shifting her gaze, no longer paying her any mind. Mia snickered at this but said nothing as she too focused on other things.

A few characters looking around noticed this exchange before staring at Nero with various expressions, some showing looks of respect, while others showed envy and hate as a minor commotion formed through various whispers.

"Haha, that Silver Boy is something else."

"Indeed, but you're mistaken, it's Wild Silver now."

"Oh, right, he sure rises fast when it comes to fame, first on that Handsome Men List, and now as a wild man, che! This bastard was born to steal all the women in the world."

"What can we do about it? It's genetics; we don't have any right to complain about such things."

As few others whispered amongst themselves, there were a few that looked at Nero with strange looks. Poison Boy had a conflicted look on his face as he sighed and stared at his sister Lily, seeing the bright look in her eyes as she just now noticed Nero.

However, Weizer and Delkan, who stood at different areas, glared at Nero as if they wanted nothing more than to chop his limbs and eat his flesh.

Naturally, Nero felt both of their killing intent; his eyes flickered in a murderous ray but did nothing in the end, he was a bit surprised as he didn't even recall the mohawk fellow, but when he glanced at Delkan his eyes had a cruel glint. Soon, he no longer paid them any mind and showed a look of indifference as he once more focused his attention onto Village Chief Pan.

'Bastard, just you wait' Weizer thought as he glared at Nero.

Delkan, on the other hand, said nothing as he menacingly stared at Nero without even blinking his eyes.

After changing his focus, Nero noticed that everyone within the nearby vicinity had quieted down as they too stared towards Village Chief Pan in silence. She smiled as she saw this; she knew that it was about time for the dungeon to appear; she took a step forward, drawing everyone's attention before speaking.

"Greeting's everyone; I'm proud of the growth that all of you have shown during this week of initiation. Today, I shall officially welcome you as true digitizers as you shall now embark on your very first Dungeon Raid. Please be warned, while some of you are quite powerful in your own right, the place that you'll be going is of no ordinary magnitude, you'd do best to form parties with any companions you can find. Huhu... so children, do have a safe trip."

The instant she said those words, the world started to shake with a loud rumble as the sky shone in brilliant golden lights. If one looked at the sky, they would see that the towering Universe Ring was emitting bright rays as a massive portal had appeared directly above not only Winfrey Village but in all core villages and towns in the Novice Zone.

Nero lifted his head and looked at this in surprise, but he didn't have long to express it as a sound resounded in everyone's mind.

Following those words, the bright light shone even more soon after enveloping everything within reach of the towns and villages as it tossed them into portals, sending them to a brand-new realm.
