They all filed out of the car and followed the waiters, who were carrying their bags, into the hotel.

The hotel was huge and clearly made for the rich. The outside was clean lawned and landscaped. Rose bushes scattered around the grounds creating a beautiful rose pattern.

The building was an eighty store building with huge glass windows that reflected the sun.

They were each led to their own room by the staff. Alaric laid down on the bed feeling the cloud like feeling. The faint scent of fresh roses filled his room from the breeze outside. The scent lulled him to sleep.

....

" Did you take dinner yesterday?" Sacrat asked.

" No, I think we all slept through the night," showy answered.

They were in the car heading to the dungeon site. Alaric looked outside at the rising sun and felt lazy again.

He had been woken up at five in the morning to prepare since they were going to the dungeon early.

Sacrat wanted to take a look first before they could enter and they needed to resupply. An A class dungeon was not a joking matter and they needed to be fully prepared.

Alaric was both excited and tired. He wasn't a morning person and being woken up that early had soured his mood a little.

They had not had any breakfast and they were travelling to the middle nowhere. The car lunged forward, this made him nauseous, the driver mattered apologies before resuming his drive.

The dungeon was in the middle of the biggest forest in district seventeen. As if it wasn't already infested with wild animals now dungeons had been appearing frequently.

From what he heard, the forest had been the few places that dungeons had not spawned in but it seems that had changed.

It had started with low ranking dungeons that were easy to clear, but the frequency of their appearance reduced then the next rank dungeons appeared.

With every reduction of the previous dungeons a new one appeared of a higher rank right afterwards.

The research institute had tried but failed to come to a reasonable conclusion. They had given up on the place and the federation and the guilds were waiting for the S class dungeons to start appearing.

The flame guild had secured a dungeon there since the ratio of dungeon appearance and awakeners were four to two. It was a lot for the district and they had to seek outside help.

Most of the guilds had already started to clear the dungeons and even guildless awakened could share into the buffet.

Alaric was genuinely worried since the amount of dungeons respawning was increasing day by day, he was scared they would eventually overwhelm the federation. He just hoped a day like that would never come.

" I'm hungry, is there no food in this stupid car," John the spoiled brat asked looking at anyone for a response .

His eyes settled on Alaric.

" Did you sneak anything you're the only in this car who is organized and the most well dressed. Actually, are you going to the runway? cause you are very overdressed for a dungeon ."

" Are you looking for a fight ? " Alaric asked. He wasn't overdressed. He was wearing black jeans, and a white sweat shirt, standard clothing.

"What are you on about, tsk! I was complimenting you," John said dismissively.

Alaric looked out the window to avoid any further conversation. He was also hungry at the moment. Dealing with a spoiled rich brat was really tiring and enjoyable sometimes.

He missed Laura why can rich kids be like her, just the perfect human being in everything. Thinking back Alaric noticed that all his clients had been second generation rich and none of them acted spoiled except in bed. Personality wise they were sweethearts.

" We're here," Sacrat's voice startled Alaric out of his thoughts. The car came to a stop in a huge clearing. Tree stumps were scattered everywhere clearly showing recent cutting.

Alaric imagined how forest conservationists would be screaming their heads off because of all the deforestation. Here no one really had time to cry about human rights when the world could end at any minute, plus the benefits were immense.

" At last I can feel the ground. That car has been flying over those potholes. Thank goodness I didn't eat," snowy said as she got out of the car.

Alaric followed and looked around curiously. He could feel the portal energy even from where he was but he couldn't see the portal.

" Where is the portal?" He asked Sacrat.

" Ooh about a hundred meters from this clearing. This is more of a parking lot, a resting area, and a collection point," he pointed around as he named the places. The place had been well organized and people were scattered around. It seemed they were not the only ones who had come for the dungeons.

There were probably more dungeons around the part of the forest or there wouldn't be such a fully functional unit.

" Food, you guys can stay here but I'm not, I'm really hungry and I can't hold it in," John said and walked away. He just abandoned them just like that.

" Let's go," Sacrat said and followed after John.

They were all clearly hungry but knew how to keep it to themselves instead of announcing to the whole world like John.

They came to a stop at a small stall that was selling food, it was the only stall. They sat on the small tables and placed their orders to the man who was clearly the chef and waiter.

Ten minutes later waiting and agonizing with the smell their food was brought. Mashed potatoes, steak, a small serving of rice , a mixture of veggies and gravy.

The food had been clearly made to keep someone full for a long time and boost energy. Alaric could feel the small amount of mana from the meat and he knew immediately it was beast meat from the dungeon.

Probably rabbit, he thought to himself as he dug into the extremely delicious food.

He had eaten beast meat but he wasn't a huge fan. The thought of eating something from the dungeon just isn't for him. Especially from creatures he was sure they fed on human flesh he wouldn't.

He had seen crocodile meat on display and it was on the rage, every was competing to but it. He couldn't even imagine eating it.

But the food from the stall was simply magical. It was cooked just perfectly and Alaric didn't even notice how he had finished it.

" It's good right ?" Sacrat whispered to him

Alaric nodded.

" I was the one who asked him to come here," Sacrat whispered.

Alaric gave him a thumbs up. At least he had done something right.

" Okay guys, in ten minutes we'll be going into the dungeon, you can do whatever you want during the ten minute period then we can go. "

After saying that he went back into the car.

Alaric had already prepared everything before he even came so he didn't have much to do.

He went and looked for a cleaner stump and sat on it basking in the warm morning sun, this was one of the small joys of his life. He took out his phone and started to play games to buy time.

" You really love yourself," Hailey's voice came from behind him. He had not even noticed her approach.

Alaric leaned back and looked at her.

" If I don't love myself who will. "

" But that's leaned more on narcissistic behavior doesn't it. You've got to have a limit."

" I don't think so, I love myself not I'm in love with myself, those are two different things here. And you're referring to being in love with myself."

" That's what a narcissist would say. I don't see the difference there, it's still the same thing. "

Alaric wasn't about to continue explaining she already had her own explanation and was just looking for someone to justify her idea . He wasn't that person.

He turned to see sacrat waving at him to come over.

" I think it's about time to leave so I'm gonna go, if you want to follow your choice," Alaric said and stood up.

She followed behind him and they regrouped.

" Okay, I'm going to be wishing you well and pray that you don't die there, a few broken bones won't hurt," Sacrat said a smile on his face.

He didn't look worried at all.

"Hailey and Ruby take care of the others. You two are the only A classes I'm going to put my faith in you both," sacrat said seriously while they were walking towards the portal.

They arrived at the place five minutes later.

Alaric looked at the pulsating portal in wonder. It was fully silver in color and looked so magical as it swirled around welcoming them into their Jaws.

Alaric could bet his money that the dungeon changes color with the increase in rank in order to attract fools like him to enter.

" Be careful," Sacrat said one last before they entered. Alaric just hoped they would come out alive and well he has a record of getting the worst dungeon.

This time he was a little confident since there were two awakened higher class than him.
