"Speaking"

[System/ability]
- thoughts)
Richard counted his breaths to keep from panicking he felt like he was hearing his thoughts all around him Echoing in the distance running was the only thing he could think of "this monster, it shouldn't be here Why is it here Why when i'm here
First in given a garbage ability
And now this i think this universe might have a grudge against me why is it always me"
As he runs into a dead end, he can hear it
It's stomping getting louder
It's low grumble
Closer and closer
All he could do was look around and beg for an escape.Something that will get him out of this situation Anything, he sees it he has to climb up He doesn't have much time thankfully, he's still a good climber
From climbing up trees to pick fruit for his mom and dad and mountains he used to clime with his father climbing up he climbs up a loud roar following him.
Good for him that monster not an intelligent one he almost loses his footing but he succeeded but he's not out of the cave yet.
"Alright i lost my party. I don't know where they are. I'm trapped in this stupid cave
Where my ability cannot be used [great sage]
( Allowed to ask any one question
This ability will answer any question that is not of the future or forbidden knowledge
Afterwards user will be paralyzed for
The equivalent of 6 months) "stuck in this cave for 6 month with nobody to take care of me or feed me while i'm unconscious probably means. instant death" richard was starting to realize he should have never went into this dungeon. Though it's not like he have a choice,He used his ability he wanted to know how he would be able to become one of the nobles in the quickest path to do that of course that's not question he asks, he already knew what was the quickest path become a high level adventurer they're usually treated better than nobles, even before they become one.
The question he asks great stage was, "What's the fastest, easiest path to becoming the strongest adventurer?"

Answer: a hidden dungeon in the cave which humans call "The Howling Depths" ]
[Answer ended]
[Punishment begin]
Feeling like he was just struck by a thousand lightning bolts
It was for his first time using his skill in
7 years he almost forgot how bad it was
He tries to reach for his bed in vein
As he collapsed to the floor of course, he informed his roommates what he was going to do. james his best friend said he would transport him to the hospital once he's done
By the time you woke up he had seventy four missed calls from his mother and father
His mother spoke softly about how they were struggling, mentioning they might have to sell the family land, while his father admitted they didn't know how they'd pay for everything. By the time the message ended, he was fully awake, staring at the silence it left behind.
He instantly knew what he must do.
"All right the howling Depths huh" -sure, it's a midtier dungeon, but it couldn't be that much harder Then an easy one he can easily complete an easy dungeon with one or two teammates.Maybe i only needs like three or four this time- that arrogance would be his undoing thankfully, his ability is not totally useless.It won't only just answer his question.It will provide him instructions to complete his task or whatever he asked Most times (this time it giving him a locator
Allowing him to know exactly where the hidden dungeon is) " i'm not too far off to the hidden dungeon and now that i've seen the monsters here, i'm feeling my only way is forward" while he was walking for a second, he was wondering -what if what? If this was all for nothing what if everything I'm doing doesn't even save them?
I mean, I was never that good at helping
I was good at taking for myself.
But helping was not something I really cared for.
What if-_ before he got there, finish that sentence
His ability cut him off[ hidden dungeon located] THIS WAS THE HIDDEN DUNGEON, REALLY IT'S JUST A WALL!
Wait a minute It's a hidden dungeon.There's probably like a switch or something feeling around the wall. Trying to find something
"Ughhh i can't find anything great sage really does suck" [user reminder say the following words for the hidden dungeon to appear: here be legends] "i'm going to call it that HERE BE LEGENDS"
A door suddenly appears.
Opens
"i-i-is s-s-somebody there do you have water" staying as silent as a rock not daring to move an inch
Because out of all the monsters in this world, humanoid ones are the worst
Especially intelligence ones that can talk
[ Give her your water] -WHAT! great sage are you dumb or mad- building up the courage too, see this monster.
He looks and see...
a big and burly guy blonde hair piercings tattoos and all seems like your typical villain?
"Thank you sir for the water, Gods It's been a long time since I had that."
I almost hesitate to ask
" Hey, sir, if you don't mind me axing, why are you in this dungeon?"
"Forget that, how did you find this dungeon"
He replied
I fumble upon a excuse try not to seem suspicious
"Oh I just stumbled upon it while I was out hunting is all"
[Ask him why he's here]
(Gee thanks captain obvious)
"Anyway sir why are you down here"
"It's because i'm the strongest obviously"
Ha Ha Ha Ha" he replies laughter bellows like thunder
( This guy seems really full of himself maybe i'm supposed to pander to him)
"Oh sorry sir where are my manners let me get you out of these chains"
"NO" his voice crackles out like a whip
He freezes suddenly like the gods themselves Won't let him touch that chain he continues
"These are soul chains if you break them well that's it for me but it's not as if weaklings can break it anyways HAHA"
[ Ask him what you can do to free him]
(Is this the part where I get super cool powers Yes)
His thoughts almost beaming out of his head
"Um, what can I do to help old man"
He replies
" What do you think you're calling an old man, huh"
I quickly tried to recover
"No, I just thought you were in here for a really long time.I'm so sorry if you're not old.I didn't mean to insult you or anything"
The sound of laughing interrupting my apology
"HA HA HA HA HA i'm just messing with you, kid. I don't actually know how long i've been in here.But i'm pretty sure it's been for a long time.What date is it" i reply with
"well it's 1200 on the new lorenus calendar" " WHAT!" " THERE IS A NEW ONE ALREADY!"( i did work at a library at one point so I know a thing or 2 about history, but if he's saying he saw the old one that would mean he's over 3000 years old. 4000 if he's suggesting what I think he's suggesting, which is he was there.When it was first being made, that means this man is a founding father)
"I - i can't believe it, it's been so long
What is your family name?" i reply as respectfully as I can
"Noir my family's name is noir my name is richard noir.Sorry for not introducing myself founder" "it's all right kid" i reply
(What should I call you founder)
"MY NAME IS.... My name is.... my name is
I can't believe it I can't remember my name
..... who am I i've just been reliving my memories.This entire time, but I just don't know who I am.How can't I remember I-i.....
Author time:
Couple of questions for you to answer in the comments: First one is, did you guys like the plot, do you think it was too long or too short of a chapter,
Would you guys like an oxiliary chapter? Explaining a bunch of his backstory, or do you want to just learn as you go?

No.
