Lucian's forehead hit hard against an invisible wall. He placed his hand against it, pounding hard in order to break it, but his efforts were useless. He was at the entrance that led out of the village he was trapped in. There was no one around except for him.

'Damn it.' Lucian thought, wondering if he had to return back to Wisteria House and come back again to try his escape another day. He had put so much effort into putting Wisteria to sleep, and while walking through the village without her, he wasn't questioned, nor was he stopped by the villagers because they recognized him as Wisteria's son.

Lucian was searching for the dungeon king. The village was a small place for the dungeon king to stay in, so he suspected that the demon was staying outside the village.

"I have found him!" The angry voice of a woman shouted from afar.

Lucian panicked and thought of hiding, but there was no way to hide, not when the group of women moving towards him from a distance had their eyes pinned on him.

'Just pretend.' Lucian told himself calmly.

"What's a young man like you doing here in the middle of nowhere?" A lady asked, glaring.

Lucian tried to keep his gaze foggy and made a mistake by making his facial muscles twist as he almost replied. Those who were under a spell didn't speak to others unless they had been ordered to.

"He's pretending!" The little girl Lucian had seen the other day with Reed said.

"Drop the act, son." Wisteria said, revealing herself in the angry crowd of women that had gathered around Lucian. She placed a gentle hand on the shield. "This is my magic; it circles around the village. I felt it when you punched the wall."

Lucian's hand folded into an angry fist. 'If this damned magic wall is made around the village, that means that there is no way out?!'

The little girl snickers as she steps out of the crowd. "All humans are ungrateful deceivers; it doesn't matter how nice we are to them. If I didn't ask Reed about what you said to him the other day, you would have continued to fool us." Her eyes turned blood red as claws replaced her nails. She jumped up at Lucian's face, but a hand quickly dragged her to her feet.

"Lucian isn't under your roof. I didn't give you or anyone else here the permission to hurt him." Wisteria said.

The beast-like fang that appeared in the girl quickly shifted back to normal; she bowed her head and quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, chief."

Lucian distances himself from Wisteria and the others. He tried reaching out to his system magic and failed but kept trying until his glitching system showed up.

[Player Lucian… granted permission into the belly of the beast… S-rank dungeon]

[Rule: cancellation of human magic] Lucian system glitches and repeats the same words 5 times.

[Identity; Lucian… human… beast… human… beast… beast…. Beast] his system settled on a single word, 'Beast.'

[Welcome to dark void dungeon, beast Lucian. The dungeon king gives the permission for you to be recognized as a lesser beast; therefore, the dungeon rules shall no longer affect your beast form]

Lucian scoffs as he reads the writing on his broken system, 'The dungeon king? So that demonic bastard knows that I'm searching for him.' He tried activating his system magic but failed, and then he activated his beast magic. His beast aura lets loose as Lucian's arm breaks down in transformation, his skin hardens as his muscles become stronger, and his regenerative ability stops him from bleeding out and helps him to break out of his human limitations.

"He's a beast, he's not human, we have been decieve." One of the villagers cried out.

"What's a beast doing here?" Another voice growl in anger.

Wisteria didn't know what was going on, she was sure that Lucian was human, Draven recognized him as human, but with Lucian beast aura, he undoubtedly had beast magic.

Turning both her hands into fiery claws, Wisteria move in speed to attack Lucian, her blade like claw, slice through the air at Lucian arm, but was unable to cut through in. Wisteria had a lot of questions for Lucian, she planned to capture him and questioned him about his abnormal form. She had a feeling that a certain dungeon demon who she hated was behind Lucian capability to used his powers. The thought made Wisteria angry, because this was her dungeon, only her rules and power should control it. She wasn't going to submit herself or her people to anyone else authority, not even to the 12 gods.

Lucian smiled, he couldn't be harm, he considered the thought of hardening his whole body, with his regenerative ability, the damage for it will be easily covered. Wisteria, however, move faster than Lucian thought, she punched Lucian in the gut, grabbed his hair while keeping herself compose. Her fist move towards Lucian face and then stop at the last second, then she hit his chest hard, and let his body fall down helplessly to the ground.

'my heart.' Lucian panicked, wrapping his arms around his chest. His heart felt like it was about to burst. The hit Wisteria gave him has ruthlessly shattered his bones. She was fast, too fast. He shouldn't have been full of himself just because he was finally able to use one of his abilities. Lucian waited for his regenerative ability to heal him, realizing that his regenerative ability didn't make him invincible after all.

Wisteria had held herself back while beating him up; if she wanted Lucian dead, he wouldn't have any single chance to protect himself.

Lucian took a heavy breath as he let himself heal. Wisteria studied him like a unique specimen and then hit him hard at the back of his head, making him pass out. Lucian's beast aura was immediately put out as his body transformed back into that of a normal human.

A female guard came close to Wisteria's side and gave a short bow in respect. "Do you want us to kill the beast for you, chief?"

"Take him to the cellar; he's human."
