"Lucas where is your partner? We need to go now."
[Earlier]
"Lucas could you tell the professor I'm not coming with you anymore and tell the professor I'm gonna go back to Eather city don't worry about that because he already knows if something."
Prate gave the artifact he had been working on for a few months. "Why did you give it to me? Prate?" I asked him genuinely, I don't understand why he gave the artifact for months.
"I'm not sure either why did I give it to you but it will be helpful." But the artifact changed; did he work on this overnight?
"I really have to go now, Lucas" he said, leaving carrying his baggage while he left me in the room that was so quiet.
I looked out the window; it seemed there was a car waiting for him, picking him up. He looked back and waved goodbye, and then left.
I put the artifact in my pouch, the size of the artifact shrank to its original size but now it's the size of a dice.
[Present]
"I see, why don't you find another team you could form with?" While his looking at his paper checking the attendance of his students.
"I prefer going alone for now, Professor. " I told him and he looked at me, "Alright, it's up to you what happened inside the dungeon, here's the scroll in case you're in danger." He patted my right shoulder.
"Everyone get inside we are ready to leave!" The students get on the bus one by one.
I went inside the bus, sitting in the middle where prate supposed to be my seatmate. I lean my head in the window while everyone is getting ready to leave.
[A few minutes later]
"Where we're about to leave this city, we are heading to Tarosa Mountain, where the dungeon is located."
Professor start discussing while the bus starts driving, heading to the North Gate. I amazed myself again just how big this city is, those walls that are so tall and the artillery on top of those walls is massive.
[A few hours later]
"Lucas, where is Prate? I didn't see him." She was looking around trying to find Prate. Sigh " He left the city earlier, I already told the professor."
"I see... anyway you've been looking upset did something between you two?" Of course it is, he left a precious artifact to me. It's been bothering me this whole time.
"Nothing happened, it's just too sudden."
[A few minutes later]
It looks like we're here already, "Everyone get down now! Don't go anywhere yet!" the professor told us. The professor assigned us to each room of course I don't have a roommate, it should be prate but his not here.
"Remember at 8 p.m. everyone must gather at the lobby do you understand?" We respond "Yes Sir!!!" I went to my designated room and put my baggage in bed, I'm too lazy to put those clothes in the closet.
After we ate dinner, we went to the lobby as the professor told us, "Is everyone here? I'll call by their name if not, I'll deduct their points understand?"
After calling us one by one the professor announced. We will gather at the entrance it should be 6 a.m. sharp, that's what the professor said.
I went to my room and lay down in the bed, I took out the artifact in my pocket and raised my hand while I was holding it.
"System"
Name: Unknown (Incomplete)
Rank: F
Type: Unknown
An artifact that was made by the Creator using the Mana Orb from the Ancient Dragon, it was an ancient material to create a new lord or can be used as a Legendary artifact, but due to the incomplete form of this artifact, the effect of this artifact has significantly weakened. To strengthen this artifact the Creator of this artifact must reforge this weapon, but it requires finding a specific material to complete this artifact. Also, this artifact will change the form to the user's desire.
Effect: Increases all stats by 5, Health by 100 and mana by 500.
"An Ancient Dragon?" Isn't supposed to be the material of Ancient Entity supposed to be expensive!? Why did he give it away like nothing? Also, there's a description in the last sentence that the form of this artifact will change based on the user's desire, but how?
Sigh, I really don't know what is going on but this artifact never existed in this novel I wrote beside... did I cause this!? There are a few artifacts I encountered that never existed but everything keeps appearing because of my action.
Why didn't I think this from the very start, "Dammit!" as I keep biting my nails.
[A few minutes later]
After calming myself, I began to think about what I should do with this artifact and what I should do, do I have to keep it or give it back to him?
I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower my mind isn't clear right now. After showering I went back to bed and took my phone sending a message to him if I really need to give it back to him.
I realized I still haven't prepared the things I should bring tomorrow. I should bring the things, I should use inside the dungeon, it's pretty dangerous there, "Mana potion, Scroll and flashlight, also I don't need to forget a small portion of snack just in case the average time I would spend inside is around 3-5 hours but this time I'm not sure either.
I lay down for a second but eventually I fell asleep, and my mind began to drift slowly...
[In the morning]
The alarm I set during the night, and I looked at my phone it was still 5 a.m. In the morning I still have time to bring and go outside.
[A few minutes later]
I went down and I'm fully geared, it seems the other students from the other class are already here.
