=LOCATION: Dungeon=
A terrifying labyrinth filled with floors, traps and monsters. A complex place where even gods cannot determine their children's safety whenever they explore the dungeon. The dungeon have multiple floors & different monster types.
The milllions of white crystals and blue crystals found on the Dungeon's 18th floor stopped emitting light. Darkness owlvertaken the whole floor. Depicting its "Night" time.
At evening, Many pubs in Rivira town serves foods & alcoholic beverages to adventurers that recuperates from explorations.
The town is a safezone and yet its filled with multiple adventurers with unknown motivations & backgrounds whether they're criminals or not.
This Rogue town have unwritten rules; 'you should never show your weakness to others and what matters most is your strength.'
There's a wooden pub that serves all mortal races called the 'Feline Fang pub' owned by 1 strong adventurer family from a medium-sized Familia found on the food district of Rivira town.
Inside the pub, there's customers from different familias currently onguard and some are holding their weapons, which are all customers are focused to on a specific table.
There's commotion caused by a group, named the Blood Rain, scowling the onem an at 196cm tall, whose currently eating while sitting in his table edge.
People still standing in front of his table,
The drunk 15 members of Blood Rain, except Rue. All are raging inside due to the embarrassment earlier. While their 2 members are unconscious on the floor.
Why won't they be angry?
Their foolish pride for being strong & fast enough to react to attacks from years of dungeon exploring was quickly crushed by the tall man named Alex whom they considered to be weak because he's alone and falnaless.
The Blood Rain stood still. The team composed from different races.
They're angry at Alex but they acknowledge his speed and what he did to their unconscious companions.
They also realized Alex to keep anticipating for their next moves despite currently eating calmly.
The Blood Rain Team began re-evaluating Alex, throwing away their former thoughts of him. All other adventurers and pub servers did too.
*Gulp*
Alex finished chowing down the pub's signature soup and began eating another.
His strength is....
They all reached the conclusion that Alex is strong as Leister Lancer, level 4. With few elders thinking he's even more stronger than the whole team.
"Who among those drunkards said he's falnaness? a drunken mistake i say!! Which faction does he belong?" A bystander old prum despite having young face shockingly refuted the drunken claim earlier.
"A supporter? Thats lies!" A young amazoness exclaimed
"He is not falnaless, but perhaps he is hiding it." a statement coming from a human woman with grey hairs among her long black hair, displaying her eastern origins.
Every adventurers inside the bar strongly agrees to the prum, amazoness and the human after witnessing the situation.
Few adventurers asked inwardly which faction aka familia does the handsome tall man belong to.
Others still anticipating, as if forecasting theres more to come.
Despite the danger Alex displayed,
The drunken team simultaneously decided to still not retreat because their pride at risk but also the alcohol in their system has affected them strongly on this decision.
'He's fast. I could intercept his speed if I use that 'skill' now that I drank enough alcohol but is he worth more than Amphisbaena?.' Drunk logen thought.
The blood rain is still surrounding Alex.
*Chew* *Chew*
"I don't belong here? Of course D******s! I'm a human adventuring in the birthplace of monsters. The only thing that doesn't belong here are you and your team's drunk a****s. Again, You guys need to return to your table and mind your own f******g business." Alex told the team.
"What can you do? You're all alone while we are outnumbering and surrounding you right now, Squid face." Logen insulted.
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
The blood rain team and most drunk adventurers are laughing at the insult while eating and drinking meads.
Few didn't laughed.
Those few kept watching and anticipating for some actions.
*chuckle*
Instead of being offended, Alex found the insult funny too
"Haha! Squid face. I'll let you have that one. But listen here!" Alex said as he points to Logen.
He then rise up from the edge of his table
*tmp*
*tmp*
*tmp*
*tmp*
*tmp*
*tmp*
He walk and face the group again
His height superiority towering the Blood Rain team. Most members are at his chest level below.
He looks down to stare at them while raising with his pointing finger. He then pointed the Blood Rain's table.
"I think there's still some confusion. I'm not the one in trouble here. There's only 17 of you, You'll need more. Now go the f**k away!" He confidently warned them still attempting to solve this without any problem too much.
How useless his efforts were,
because there's a fact that adults knew that Alex forgotten.
.
.
.
.
.
is that alcoholics are irrational beings.
Most of the team didn't accept the warning nicely.
"ORAA!!"
Drunk Logen angrily shouted as his clenched fist swung to Alex with all of his might
As quick as someone clap their hands.
*!!!*
*BANG*
A sound they heard as every people witnessed Logen moving his hand and punching Alex to the chest with full might.
*?!*
"Take that! You weak supporter!"
"OH! SHIT!!!"
*Jiggle* *Jiggle*
"LOOK AT THAT MAN'S BELLY JIGGLING! HA-HA-HA-HA!"
"Woah! It's still jiggling. Ha-ha-ha!!"
"I wish they were boobs jiggling instead."
"I couldn't agree more!!"
"Cheers to that mate!"
"PERVERTS!!!"
"Yuck! Vulgars cretins!"
"Another fight! Another night!"
"CHEERS!!!"
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!"
Entertainment is what all customers feel when Drunken Logen punched Alex's chest while Alex fat belly's jiggling. All are in merry mood including the blood rain team.
.
.
.
.
Only few experienced senior adventurers asked why Alex didn't even move an inch after directly recieving a high level 4 adventurer's punch. Also they questioned if Alex could dodge that.
Alex's belly stopped jiggling and begun thinking.
A '4,000' Doriki huh. It didn't hurt me. Having this measurement is useful! Great thing I don't need to jump nor shout it. He's probably equally strong as the Executive Evilus earlier. I'm about to destroyed this M***********S confidence.
Alex smiled as his adrenaline begin rushes.
His smile is signalling to adventurers how unhurt he is.
"My turn." Smiling Alex tells as his eyes filled with danger.
Logen and the blood rains stared back at him with anticipation for Alex next move like how they would hunt monsters. Arrows already aimed to him.
The blood raid team's strongest old magician aim her wand at Alex and starts chanting her magic, along with others with magic spells. another guy twirled his morning star. The team stepped back except Logen.
His stare versus theirs,
their tensions created this thick hostile atmosphere destroying the audience merry mood earlier.
Some drunk adventurers went sober but anticipating, holding their weapons tightly.
Everyone could tell something is about to happen.
"STOP!!! NO FIGHTING IN HERE!" The server finished shouting and finally broke the hostile atmosphere.
*WHOOOSH!!!*
A sword landed on Alex table. As the owner, the female server approaches the commotion.
Instantaneously,
*!!!*
"WHA-"
"OH SHIT!"
*GULPS!*
As if time froze,
All costumers, servers and blood rain team were shocked because of what they witnessed. Some have their mouth agape.
What change were following, before everyone in the pub could notice.
Logen 'instantly' on one knee down infront of Alex. His punching hand and shoulder twisted and was grabbed by Alex's left hand.
Farb's knife found at the table earlier, is now on Alex's right hand before everyone at the pub could notice. The knife's blade is inches away on Logen's eye.
Alex purposely stopped at the last moment.
Showcasing to everyone, Alex is like butcherin a pig's head.
It's not Logen affected to 'instant' changes. Around Alex,
*!!!*
Logen's face contors into struggling expression. His hand couldn't escape from Alex even though using his full strength to remove his enemy's grip. Displaying insignificant effort.
Every weapons, shields, wands, and arrows of Blood Rain was disappeared from their hands instantly without their notice.
Every disappeared weapons were found on the Alex's table alongside the untouched server's sword.
*?!*
Logen is shocked. The team were shocked. Everyone in the pub are shocked. They didn't saw Alex move despite having to experiencing it earlier.
Every veterans within the bar was reinfornce of the new adventurers speed.
Once again challenging their ability to perceived fast objects. Once again learning that Alex is faster than they could perceive.
His face is still smiling but emits a sense of foreboding. Killing intent began sipping in Alex's eyes as he state the following
"Return. To. Your. F*****g. Tables. NOW!!" Alex snapped a warning to the drunken group in a more with deep voice further expressing the intent.
"He's not faking his threat! He almost killed our leader!"
The Blood Rain team and their leader
realise the authenticity of Alex words remembering his actions earlier.
Finally cemented to every adventurers present that Alex is not a pushover.
His warning was more sureal when they saw a smiling Alex's eyes have no hesitation.
In their minds, Logen was lucky that Alex willingly stopped even after the server shouted.
Was I about to die? How could he be faster than me?! I can't accept this! Nonsense! He's falnaless!
Logen thought as his face spelled shocked, fright and rage. Putting more effort removing his arm from Alex's vice grip.
*drip*
Every members sweats buckets.
Feeling threatened, Merle non-verbally signalled her team to slowly retreat. All blood rain members backed away as Merle's signalled.
Logen stand immediately when he felt Alex's grip starts letting of his twisted arm.
As Logen walks far away from Alex.
*thud* *thud*
Alex then threw the duo's knives to the ground. Just a few inches to their Logen's feet.
*Gripped*
Rue grabbed her leaders' raging fist and forced themselves to backed away.
All members had retreated and relieved that their leader is safe and they are safe.
The weaponless Blood Rain team that once arrogant and prideful are feeling shame because of Alex.
Suddenly,
*Bang*
A loud bang at the table near the commotion appeared, Every individuals search for the one who caused that loud bang.
"Here's the rest of the food. All of you leave him alone and quietly drink or else leave our establishment." The server, Dugr Vättar, warned the people as she placed down their drinks with her gigantic wooden tray.
*Shing*
The sword thrown earlier at his table have been retrived to the weretiger server's hand.
The sword shines while being pressing at Alex's chest. The giant food tray on her other hand.
Despite what it looks, this was not meant to attack but
"No killing here. Don't ever do that again on our establisment or else banning is not you should worried the least." Dugr Vättar warns Alex too because of the stunt he did earlier.
Normally, Dugr doesn't use her sword to disband every commotions happens to her family bar because the culprits are usually weaker than her and stupidly drunk.
but this time is different, weapons are now involved. The weretiger parents/ the chefs and her sibling server halted their movements and brandishes their reliable weapons too just to prove the legitimacy of their rule.
This was one of the true experiences while living in Rivira Town, an outlaw city ruled by adventurers from unknown origins. Threatening with weapons is considered normal.
No words from Alex needed to be said.
*Inhale*
.
.
.
.
.
*Exhale*
.
.
.
.
.
Alex knowing this is not his place to make a mess and just settled down.
He returned to his seat and the adrenaline rush stopped. Finally, he calmed down.
Alex's hands started grabing every blood rain's weapons on his table and then,
In one swept motion, using his skill belonging from a famous bounty hunter from One piece.
*FWOOSH!!*
He threw them
!!!
Every bystanders stunned to witness it.
WOAHH!!!!!!!
Most are amazed, apauled and threatened.
*thud* *thud*
The morning star landed in front of the Blood Rain's tallest horned owner from the race called Bulls.
*thud* *thud*
Twin swords landed at the Old man adventurer.
*thud* *thud* *thud*
The mage wands landed to front of feet of the mages.
*thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud*
Sheilds, swords, whips, axes, bows, arrows and knives. Every weapons of Blood Rain's team landed at the front of their feet, as if recognizing their owners.
Without looking, Alex tossed every weapon found on his table just to land exactly on the retreating Blood Rain team.
After sitting,
*Crunch!*
He begun greedily munching foods again.
"Entertainments over! Return to your seats!" The weretiger server, Dugr Vättar, shouted to everyone in the pub and retracted her sword.
Then,
*Munch*
The Blood rain team leaves Alex table now with their weapons back. Both Jenik and Rue woke up Farb and Coerh. The duo stood up and picked their knives
"This isn't over." Farb and his friend simultaneously warns Alex whose sitting in his own table. surrounded by foods and drinks.
*Crunch*
Taking another bite before he,
"It already ended. Don't ever do this f****s*** again." Alex calmly warned with deep strong voice enough to shrug the duo's warning.
Also, his voice intentionally reached not just the duo's ears but everyone in the pub while stuffing his mouth with another food.
The duo heard it and wanted to reply back in anger but their team stopped them to prevent any danger involving Alex.
The duo were drag away by their stronger comrade while they sheated their knives. They 'followed' along their fellow Blood Rain members returning to their own table with sour faces.
The team finally returned to their seats while feeling defeted.
Finally ending the chaos happened earlier.
The weretiger servers left the table and continued serving others.
And when they're at their own tables, the pub's air changed.
"CHEERSSS!!"
The hostile tension in the atmosphere that was present now broke down and turn back into jolly one. The adventurers' vigilances became joyfully one instantaneously, most adventurers sheated their weapons and raised their mugs to drink.
.
.
.
---------------
=TIMESKIP: 10 MINUTES=
"Hey Dugr Vättar! Please give me bill. I'll leave after this meal." Alex reminded the server.
"Got it." Dugr Vättar replied with the tone filled years of experience serving food at this pub. as she left to compute the cost of all the food Alex has eaten.
"I FINALLY WON!"
"DAMN! I LOST!!!"
"HA-HA-HA-HA!"
That one group that gambled between each other that Alex's meal earlier turns chaotic again.
"I finally won! Ha-ha! Everyone give me your money." An elf happily inquired with greed plastered to his face, which companions unwillingly handed their money to the celebrating elf.
It's not just them, Other customers simultaneously gain and loss extra valis after gambling too.
.
.
.
---------------
=TIMESKIP: 20 MINUTES=
Alex finished eating & paid his food worth a whopping 236,000 valis.
Expressing his gratitude to the cooks,
"Here's 10,000 valis for the cooks and you, Dugr Vättar . Thanks for the food. " Alex said giving multiple pouches as tips and as payment to the commotion to weretiger servers.
The Blood rain turned sour after witnessing Alex's wealthy pockets.
*tmp* *tmp* *tmp* *tmp* *tmp*
Every adventurers, especially the Blood Rain team, watched as Alex exits, trying to remember the face of their entertainment tonight. Some for other purposes.
Finally, the commotion along with the people's interest over Alex has ended. The rumors of Alex being falnaless was disregard quickly and been treated as nothing more than a drunk man's foolish sayings.
All customers & servers continued their own businesses in the first place before the commotion happened.
Finally,
Alex is outside the Feline Fang Pub with a satisfied big fat belly.
*Handcart pulled and moving sound effects*
He dragged his cart as he headed towards the old dwarven's inn.
He plans on immediately sleeping and letting the fat belly burn overnight while sleeping.

=LOCATION: 17th floor=
=TIMESKIP: 10 HOURS=
Above the 18th floor is called the Great Wall of Sorrow
Found on 17th Floor of the Dungeon. A vast room surrounded by huge walls. The left side of the wall is completely smooth comperable to mirror, while the other side of the wall & ceiling are different-size rocks piled on each other
A rectangular room distancing over 200 meters long, 100 meters wide and over 20 meters in height.
Somewhere within the floor. There's a commotion happening. 3 male corpses trampled by gigantic footprints. Running away are 4 female adventurere, the remaining groupmates of those corpses.
*CRACK*
.
*GROWL*
.
*THUD*
.
*FOOOSH*
.
.
*STOMP*
.
.
.
*GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRR!!!*
Loud beastly scream echoed throughout the entire floor. It's all coming from the gigantic gray humanoid monster with shoulder-length greasy black hair and grey skin.
The tallest being in the room reaching more than 7 meters or meders (one of the many measurement units used in Gekai)
Every strong adventurers can recognise this monster.
Its the newly respawned Goliath or Monster Rex of 17th floor.
*STOMP* *CRACK*
Upon it's strongest stomp with his heaviest eet created fissures in its wake.
*BOOM* *CRACK* *BOOM*
Some giant debris from the ceiling falls to the ground as fissures continues spreading to entire floor.
.
.
*OWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!*
.
.
Goliath roars declaring its presence to the group. It successfully made the group run for their lives against the giant & falling debris.
"It's the Goliath, KEEP RUNNING!" A Female Elf yelled at her teammates while running.
"Shouldn't the Monster Rex respawn tomorrow. How come the Goliath spawned now?" a prum girl holding a mage wand screamed loudly while running along with her group.
The team acknowledge that Goliath the monster rex of 17th floor spawns every two weeks.
"I'm at fault! I thought we have a day left, that we are able go to the 18th floor for the first time. I let this team bite off more than we could chew." The Elf with long blond hair cries her fault while running with despair.
"Why did we follow you Elga?! Our leader the strongest was a level 3. They're completely outclass by Goliath." A running brown-haired bunny girl cried as she continues running.
"Stop blaming each other anD RUN TOWARDS 18TH FLOOR!!!" The prum shouted to her group as she runs to the entrance of the 18th floor along with others.
Riveria-onesama, What will y-
before the elf could finish her thought
"OHRWUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
Two gigantic fists smashed the ground near the team's location.
*BOOM**CRACK**BOOM*
Their ground explodes into boulders carrying the girls to mid-air
Their bags,weapons & shields were seperated from them
But that's not the bad news,
*SSHHUNK* *GLHUNCK*
Its the horrible sounds of rocks shooting and cutting limbs of 2 girls, an arm and a leg.
while they're suspended on the air,
Ahh...my arm is floating away. This physical pain cannot compare to the pain of realizing that I am useless now.
The elf women numbly reacted as she gave up escaping her death.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
4 bodies dropped on the ground next to each other.
Reaching few meters away from Goliath
*Step* *Step*
The Dwarf and bunny girl stood up still frightened by the goliath.
"Is this how an elven royalty dies?"
The elf defeatedly asked herself. She kept laying to the ground while not reacting to pain of her detached right arm.
*drip* *drop* *drop*
"AAAARRRRRGGHHHH! My foot!" The prum mage cries in pain while holding her severed bleeding thigh, losing her right leg.
*rip*
Her scream stopped within seconds and teared her sleeves to tie her remaining leg.
"It's all my fault! I shouldn't convince our dead leader and you guys further down since we're still third-rate Adventurers. It's because of me that Mash, Grack and Hib died." The depressed Elf said now crying on the ground.
Few moments later,
"i-i-I...Gossa, I was careless. I'm truly sorry!" The elf apologizes to her Dwarven Tank, named Gossa, disregarding her elven pride against dwarves.
"STOP!"
The Female Dwarf's yelled who was glaring at Elga dangerously.
.
.
.
.
And within few seconds,
Gossa retracted her glares, remembering her brother's final words.
'Everyone don't blame Elga cause she only suggested we go to 18th floor. I'm the leader of this team that led us here in a perilous situation. It's my fault that were dying. It's my duty along with Mash and Hib to protect all of you, as an elder brother and senior adventurer. Gossa! Elga! run towards safety! Please get out and save yourselv....' This was the final message from their dwarven leader before dying.
These words are what kept playing to his sister, female dwarf's mind.
After passing few troublesome thoughts later,
"Stop blaming yourself, you stupid elf! Its not your fault completely. Everyone! We must survive first. We resolve the matter later." Gossa said with the resolve to survive first together.
As both Gossa and bunny girl started running towards their injured team.
They both watched the goliath moving his hands from ground and starts looking for them.
They saw this as an opportunity to escape. Gossa finally stand up and took action first.
"Hang to the shield Elga! Neri! were almost there on the entrance of 18th floor." The tank dwarf said placing the prum mage, healer and their suffering leader elf to her last big shield.
"Argh!...Phade grab our missing limbs." The female prum ordered while tying her amputated foot to stop blood leaving outside her body.
"I'm on it Neri!" The bunny girl named Phade replied to the prume running towards their missing limbs. Still confident on her speed.
And within few quick seconds,
Gossa finished tying the elf & prumr to her shield
*grab* *grab*
Phade grabbed their elven leader's severed hand and Neri's severed feet on the ground. Phade then went to her team's location.
As the dwarf tries to pull her teammates,
*CRACK* *CRACK*
2 loud cracks the team heard but its not from the floor boss.
"GOSSA! NOOO!!!"
All reacted in despaired and doom as they saw their dwarven friend's both legs snapped in two when she pulls her injured team.
.
.
.
.
"OWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
Goliaths roars after finding the team below.
*DOOM!*
It swung his fist towards them.
The prum begun chanting with her wand and remaing mana still not giving up.
"Somebody Help us!!" Phade & Elga screamed simultaneously as their doom named goliath's fist approaches about to be crushed them like insects.
*WHOOSH!!*
Instantly,
*Tmp*
*Tmp*
The sounds of footstep could be heard.
The team sees a man's back wearing a helmet while walking towards the Goliath raging fist.
Before they could warn this mysterious man.
Then,
*Tmp*
He planted his foot.
"DISSAPPEAR!!!" An irritated Alex shouted without thinking.
With his right fist, He punched upwards, an uppercut, releasing his full strength along with fury, annoyance and frustration. His against the incoming gigantic punch.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*
He punches the giant's fist and destroyed its full body including its gigantic monster crystal, leaving nothing of once a terrifying monster rex instantly.
The impact created destructive shockwaves and made the Female team become unconscious due to its strong forceful winds.
Not stopping at the monster nor the 17th floor,
*CRICK!* *BOOM!!!* *CRAK!* *BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!* *WHOOOSH!*
The punch created this strong gust of force that penetrated the bedrock celing of the 17th floor, penetrating it enough to punched a massive hole easily before a person could blink.
*WHOOOOOSH!!!*
That strong gust forcefully punctured 16th floor too.
*CRACK!!!* *BOOM!!* *BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!* *CRACKKK!!!* *WHOOOOOSH!!!*
Every falling debris, boulders,bedrocks chunks turned into dust as they went upwards following the force created by the punch.
*WHOOOSH!*
That devastating forceful gust reaches the 16th floor ceilings. The large bedrocks got destroyed instantly by the same gust too.
*CRACK!* *CRICK!* *BOOOOOOOMM!!!**BOOOOOM!!!* *WHOOSH!* *BOOOM!!!*
The gust punctured a massive hole from floors 15 through 13 pretty fast.
Not losing strength nor speed.
*WHOOOOOSH!!!*
The strong forceful gust then rushes from 13th floor to its ceiling too.
*BOOOOOOMMMMMMM!* *CRICK!* *BOOM!!!* *CRACK!!* *WHOOOSH!*
The very gust devastated the ceiling & completely puncturing a massive hole. The large bedrock boulders got destroyed entering floor 12 easily
*BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*
Gust punctured massive hole again to the entire 12th floor swiftly.
Not finished yet,
*WHOMP!*
The force gust of wind rushes towards 11th floor. Current immediately rises towards the ceiling with ease, planning for another puncturing another.
But
*POP!* *Whoossh!~~~*
That devastating gust of force and dust clouds dissappearing as its all it can do.
Simultaneously,
*EARTHQUAKES APPEARED* *CRACK!*
The entire massive 17th floor experiencing earthquake after Alex punched the goliath at his full power. This shaking is more potent than what Goliath capable of.
*CRACK!!!* *EARTHQUAKES INTENSIFIES*
This shockwaves turned into magnitude 7 earthquake and enveloped the entire floor.
*Strong earthquakes spreading*
Floors 18 to 11 and above are currently experiencing earthquake.
*TREMORS!* *CRACKS!*
Magnitude 7 earthquake envelopes the entire 18th floor leaving fissures, the Rivira Town included.
*CRACKLE!*
All wooden buildings from the town started cracking.
Before they could equipped their armor, before most adventurers could even wake up nor eat breakfast.
*?!*
All adventurers on the town woken up confuse on what happening before sunrise. Most are frightened
Everyone escapes from collapsing wooden buildings, tents and inn without their weapons and wands.
*CRACK!!!*
Pillars of white & blue crystals broke down turning into shards.
*CRACK!* *CRACKLE!*
The giant blue crystal found on the ceiling of 18th floor started breaking.
Soon after,
*BOOM!*
small blue shards starts falling down to the forest
This same magnitude happens on other floors while the floor 11 to the surface experiencing weaker magnitude 6.5 and below earthquake that aftershock will soon follow.
This lasted for few seconds.
Moments passed by but to adventurers felt as if its eternity. Some are preparing for possible afterchocks.
*Earthquakes ends~~*
The surving monsters within those floor are confused and thrown onto disarray for a while before earthquakes ends.
The most shocked is Grithra who witnessed it all. Her remaining doubts & suspicions of Alex being in Evilus was blew away by wind too because he's much stronger than the evilus she fought yesterday.
He remove his helmet to witness the destruction aftermath.
M*****f****r. Looking above, I definitely punched through celings. I almost punch another hole through 11th floor too. They're gigantic enough to fit five of my gigantic form. Good thing I'm not paying.---
---I made gigantic mess to the dungeon itself. And here I thought, I could easily blend in and hide my strength. I'm dangerously stronger than I thought. I need to fully learn this new body quickly and suppress it.
Alex thoughts after analyzing the damages.
The 17th floor became messier than ever, boulders all around and blockings, Others floors encountered the same fate.
*INHALE*
He took a big breath
.
.
.
.
*EXHALE*
He exhaled a big relieving sigh and
"Unfortunately, I see no magic stone nor loot since I decimated this goliath. Finally, that monstrous scream is dead. What a relief."
Alex felt refreshed, like he worn a silent Headphone on a noisy place, after decimating the goliath with one punch.
Killing those evilus mfs made me suffered nightmares. It worsen when I heard ringingg and different violent screams appearing and disappearing everywhere. I woke up everytime from those d*** overwhelming nightmares. I passed out after hearing the most loudest ominous screams were Death to all mortals, gods, plunging this world into darkness, destroy this 'lid', waiting for promised time type shit. Those kept repeating like broken record. I used everything to stop those screams but it didn't work. Luckily, They stopped as I exit the town after finding Grithra sleeping next to the tomb of her deceased team.
Alex rekindle before continuing analysing the floors.
He begun to think another thought
I haven't had a sleep since yesterday. It frustrates and angers me earlier even. It appeared again when this goliath mf spawned. But now that's over.---
---What happened here just confirmed I'm not suffering from shizophrenia nof haunting ghosts. It happened to Luffy, Roger, Oden and Momonosuke. I awakened the Voice of All Things. It's a great thing to have but It f*****g sucks it awakened in this dungeon. This is different from Observation Haki because those voices aren't what human would say nor thinks. This is terrible to my mental health and will probably worsen if continuous exposure.---
---Getting out of this dungeon is a must. I need to fix this problem as soon as I exit this dungeon and found a place before I could experience that night again.
Alex ended his thoughts with new resolve.
He then look the other individuals especially the survivors. The survivors fainted and scattered everywhere because they were knocked out by the forceful gust and they used their all energy trying to escape Goliath earlier.
So the another small screams are from these guys. Is that their familia flag? So they're from Loki familia. The reward of helping them could be good, considering they're First-rate Familia in Orario. Let's help them.
He decided.
'Senrigan!'(Clairvoyance)
He closed his eyes while using Giro Giro no Mi, that can see from 4000 km away, to search for Grithra & anyone from all damages floors.
Within few seconds,
Okay great.. she's still safe. After watching her memories, She has healing magic. She could have left me here during Goliath but she didn't. She's probably fullfiling her dead sister's last wish even if joining Evilus. Her resolve to survive and return to surface is stronger than her revenge. Not yet atleast. Her sanity is still hanging enough to heal them.
He spotted Grithra hidding inside his cart. He found no people besides them on 17th floor currently and no adventurers found on 11th-16th floors too and while monsters are afraid & running away from the holes.
No adventurers found, probably there's no adventures moving before the sunrise, unlike us. That's a relief!
Also, He saw the passageway towards 18th floor is currently blocked by massive boulders.
Before he could continue surveying the aftermath he caused to the dungeon floors.
Out of nowhere,
*!!*
Alex heard reminiscing of a bell ringing for warnings incoming.
Then,
the dungeon wails
.
.
.
*SHCRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!*
The loudest High-pitched shrieking/cry instantly surrounds 12th-17th floors.
Devoid if humanity
Like a knife scratching a plate.
*SHRIEKING INTENSIFIES*
*RINGING**CRACK**SHAKING APPEARS*
What follows is a loud ringing sound that shakes/vibrates the 17thfloor.
No monsters on sight. The dungeon's walls trembles joining the violent-irregular cry.
*SHRIEKING CONTINUES*
*RINGING* *CRACK* *CRACK*
*SHAKING INTENSIFIES*
"Ahhh!" Grithra screams in panic feeling the shaking but much weaker than what Alex produced.
Unexpectedly, She looks to see in front
"Mnngghh!" Alex groaning in pain
It's the same f*****g ominous scream I heard last night. So it originated from the dungeon itself. It f*****g hurts!
Alex begun covering his ears and feeling the agonizing lethal pain from the ringing, clearly overwhelmed by the wailing.
Each ringing crashing his eardrumps like multiple Truck collisions.
Alex and Grithra concluded that the Dungeon is wailing, like its 'hurting' from the massive damage.
11th floor's ceiling,
*GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
A deep trembling beastly howling.
joining the ungodly shrieking & shaking creating this Deadly symphony of Lament, Pain, Anger, Death and Destruction.
*BOOM*
Another hole created by the dungeon womb found on the ceiling of 11th floor.
*GRRRRRR*
Inside that hole is despair incarnated. It shouted its otherworldly newborn cry while glaring his preys with scarlet eyes.

Those eyes reflect both Grithra and Alex
