Chapter 02 Dungeon
Before the detective could continue, a woman entered the interrogation room, the first one put away his gun and removed his feet from Alex's chest.
The woman had short sky blue hair, wore black leather armor, and a sword lay on her waist. The paramecia woman was dressed for a coosplay meeting.
"Detective Julião, abusive as always, better get ready to receive another lawsuit, leave me alone with my client"
The woman said as she helped Alex sit on the slightly damaged chair, the detective gave a cold snort before leaving not caring about the woman's words.
fucking dog , now that otherness has arrived you leave with your tail between your legs, wait until I am aware of the situation, I will have my revenge.
"Hello, I'm Joana. I've worked with your father in the past, even though I work as a hunter for the government, I'm also a member of the Bar Association. Can you tell me everything that happened?"
Joana said with a friendly smile.
"Haven't you already read the report provided by the police about what happened?"
Alex asked in an annoyed tone.
Now I'm framed by a government lawyer, goodbye my beautiful freedom
"Yes, I have, but I would like to hear it directly from my constituent, a warning, it is better if you tell the truth, this way I can develop a good strategy to get you out of here as quickly as possible."
Joana made sure the cameras were off before making her statement, Alex shook his head in response.
Please don't give me false hope, beautiful coosplay girl.
"Don't worry, I'm your lawyer, I was commissioned by your sister and I've also worked with your father, so you can trust me.
As far as I remember, I'm an only child. Did you work with my father? Girl, I think we're talking about different people.
"It's not that I don't trust you, unfortunately." Alex showed the back of his head where there was a visible bruise.
I'm sorry for lying, beautiful coosplay girl, but I can't afford to trust anyone.
"I lost my memories and I am also unaware of what happened. I only learned my name from the detective."
Alex decided to pretend to be an Amine for now so people could perhaps explain what happened. He wasn't studying, apparently he was in some parallel reality where there were slight defenses compared to his home reality.
"That complicates things, the Weber family is very influential in the city since they have three-star hunters, but I should be able to handle that for now, what do you remember or not remember?
How you talk about my girlfriend's family must be very important, three-star hunters, for someone from the state to be worried about such a family
"The only thing I remember was waking up here and only being able to speak when I saw people talking, by the way, what is an awakened and hunter? "
Joana took a stack of paper and gave it to Alex. It contained personal information, everything he needed to know about himself, and there was also information about the so-called hunters.
So this is what being a hunter means, people with abnormal powers, there is something good, I am also a hunter, would I also have powers compared to a nuclear bomb?
"You have recently awakened as a hunter, wear this on your dominant hand." Alex put a glove on his right hand and a light was exhaled slightly after a quick expansion the glove was returned.
Joana put on the same glove and after a slight glow two stelae appeared "The hunters are arched from zero to the top stars, I have two and you have none the more stars you have the stronger your authority will be, that is, you belong to the lowest class there is, now let's see your authority.
"How do I do it?"
"Easy, just open your attribute window"
"And how do I open it?"
"Just think or say open attribute window"
When Alex thought of the attribute window, a translucent Semea screen appeared revealing its information
(NAME ALEX, LUCID, AWAKENED BEING)
(AUTHORITY GRAVITY)
(SKILLS=NONE)
(LEVEL=0)
(STRENGTH=5)
(AGELITY=5)
(HP=10/9)
(MP=5/5)
Seriously! What kind of shitty attributes are these? Where's the protagonist's cheating power? The otherness of gravity! If we're talking about physics, gravity is one of the most powerful laws in the universe.
"It says here that my authority is gravity and level zero
Joana then explained how the hunters' system worked, which was actually like a game, thanks to which, Alex had no difficulty understanding.
The hunters possessed something called authority, something that was linked to a concept, to the phenomenon of nature and its elements. Thanks to these authorities, they could manipulate phenomena, concepts and elements, and their manipulation was proportional to the amount of star that the hunter possessed upon awakening.
There was also a class system, the hunter was assigned by the system to a class according to his use of authority, mage, warrior, assassin and others, were the most faced to achieve
Since Alex was newly awakened, he didn't have a class yet, his level was the lowest there was.
Joana explained the current situation in the city, particularly Alex's family, before she left to look for a way to free her constituent.
This girl was really helpful now that I know how things work I can devise a strategy to get out of this situation
Back in his cell, two days passed. He had to endure interrogation and a doctor came to do an evaluation to confirm his history of hunger. His sister saw him, but he couldn't receive visitors.
A week later, Alex and several other prisoners are about to enter a dungeon.
Dungeon cleaning was currently the most taxable way of accumulating resources and the State and private individuals competed equally. The hunters' association was a state organization that aimed to protect the country and collect revenue through dungeons.
The hunters' guides were private organizations whose primary objectives were the enrichment and strengthening of their hunters, they also helped the government when necessary or when their interests were aligned.
Not listening enough to hunters in the hunters' association and since the government could not ask the guilds lightly, the state seeks to use the necessary means to make up for the deficits caused by the lack of hunters.
"Quick one after the other, I don't have all day" a prison guard organized the prisoners to get out of a military truck.
One after the other they came out wearing orange uniforms from the municipal prison, two lines were formed, one of boys aged between 19 and 40, there were around 14 prisoners and Alex was included.
The second tank was made up of girls from the women's prison, there were about 8 girls.
All the prisoners were awakened and like Alex they had no stars, they were the weakest hunters that could be found among the awakened.
With the help of officers, several teams were formed and distributed to escape different dungeons, a hunter agent was assigned to each team to coordinate and supervise the escape.
"Very well, I am Joaquim, an agent of the hunters association."
He held up his dominant hand, displaying a glove that glowed with the faint light of a star.
Joaquim, what a strange name for an agent, well at least you can brag about your stars
"I'm a star hunter, as you can see, I'll be in charge of that mission. "
Agent Joaquim displayed a set of weapons and asked each of them to come and pick one that best suited their skills.
(SYSTEM NOTICE)
(YOUR LEVEL IS ZERO, YOU CANNOT EQUIP A WEAPON)
(LOW LEVEL SWORD, STRENGTH PLUS 5 AGELITY 1 DEFENSE 2)
(REQUIREMENT TO EQUIP LEVEL 3)
Seriously, I can't even use an old sword. What kind of character am I? Even a newbie would have something like a newbie sword, without great powers, but at least it would be useful for someone to level up well.
I just hope my cheat power is inside this dungeon, or at least I can get my freedom.
When Alex picked up a sword, he felt his hand being electrocuted and then the weapon fell to the ground followed by a warning from the system, the others gave Alex a distracted look when they identified his level zero through the system.
The agent made a sinister face before hiding it with a fake friendly smile, since Alex couldn't equip a weapon he was left with the task of carrying any resources in a large backpack
Including Alex there were about 6 boys, Joaquim the agent, a bald man with prominent muscles his name was Augusto, along with his brother, Cardoso a young man of 25 years old, Alfredo and Paulo
To complete the team there were also three girls, Mónica a girl of approximately 19 years old, but her appearance said otherwise she seemed much more mature, her red hair and her striking figure accentuating her curves attracted a lot of attention.
