” D-d-d-dragon…Wh-what should do now? ” Jason spoke with trembling.

Old man Tenkai was also sweating buckets as she whispered, ” Shut up and stay still. ”

Indeed. In front of them was a red dragon.

It landed on the ground and looked at fifteen people frozen in fear.

Aren frowned as he looked at the dragon, and suddenly, his eyes turned wide in surprise.

” Rosflin? ” Aren spoke as he looked at the dragon that was walking towards them.

Hearing Aren, all others almost fainted and shot angry glares at him.

” Pipe down, boy. Don’t try to be smart in front of that beast. ” Old man Tenkai whispered.

*Pooooof….*

Suddenly, A mass of sparkling smoke sprouted from the dragon’s body and covered it before it turned into a young boy that looked 10 or 11 years old.

” Aren! This mobile phone thing is not working anymore. ” Rosflin dashed towards Aren with a pout on his face before he took out the mobile phone from his pocket and gave it to Aren.

Others watched everything with dumbfounded expressions and looked at each other in doubt.

The pressure on them also disappeared so they could move normally now, but they stay stayed cautious while looking at the young boy with two red horns on his head and Aren.

Aren took the phone and checked before he smiled wryly at Rosflin, ” The battery is dead. ”

” Battery is dead? What is it? If it’s dead, then I won’t be able to play the game anymore? But…I didn’t kill anything except for the angles and monsters inside the game. I don’t know how that so-called battery died. ” Rosflin spoke with a sad expression.

Aren facepalmed as he smiled weakly and explained everything about the mobile phone to Rosflin.

” So, can you please charge the battery? ” Rosflin asked with puppy eyes.

Other people who were standing behind could not believe their eyes. What’s going on? Why is Aren casually talking with that dragon boy? Wait…not why, but HOW? How is he able to speak casually with that dragon boy? What the f—.

They had many questions but no answer, and for now, they could only silently watch. They knew the general gist of the situation from hearing them: It seems that Aren gave that dragon his mobile phone to play games, and the dragon took a liking to it. But now the battery was dead, and Aren needed to charge it.

Aren said something to Rosflin before giving back the mobile phone to him.

” Ok, Aren. I will wait until you are finished. ” After saying that, Two dragon wings materialized from Rosflin’s back as he flew up in the sky.

Afterward, He turned around and said to the group, ” Let’s go. We will continue with the quests first. We still have two more after this. ”

…

After killing Firefox and reducing the threat level, They went to two more spots and killed the vicious beasts there.

Same with the reward of the Firefox quest, the next two also gave them only Exp as a reward.

Currently, Everyone was coming out from the cave of the Green Fang wolves.

They were all happy as they got a lot stronger and felt good about it. After all, who would not like having more strength?

” Hehe, I am sure my punch can cave in metal plate easily. ” Julian spoke with excitement.

” Humph, It’s thanks to Aren that we were able to progress this much in just one day. ” Quinn snorted as he threw a disdainful glance at Julian.

” It’s everyone’s efforts. ” Aren smiled modestly as he looked at Old man Tenkai and the trio.

Old man Tenkai had completely changed his opinion as he smiled, ” No need to be modest, Aren. ”

Jason and his wife didn’t like it, but they could only smile awkwardly.

‘ Damn, damn, damn! Why don’t you die, you slum filth. ‘ Julian cursed inside his head as he looked at Aren.

*Crack…..Booom….*

Aren’s face suddenly changed as the ground beneath him caved in. The hole was not that wide, so he tried to grab the edge, but when he grabbed it, that part broke as he fell inside.

A scream involuntarily left his mouth as he fell down.

” AREN!! ” Lorain was going to jump inside, but Quinn stopped her by pushing her to the side before she could jump in.

Aren was walking at the forefront of the ground with others behind him. His mother was closest to him, so the hole was just two steps away from her when it formed.

” Stay calm, Auntie. Don’t rush in like that! ” Quinn spoke with tears in her eyes as she was also worried.

Old man Tenkai walked near the hole with a frown and looked inside, but he could not see its end since it was dark.

‘ Aren’s scream was not short, so the hole is at least 40 ft. deep. But it’s definitely deeper than 40 ft. ‘

Julian felt strange happiness, but he didn’t show it on his face while Jason and his wife frowned. Even though they didn’t like Aren, they could recognize his ability.

Old man Tenkai looked at his bodyguards and ordered five of them to go the town and bring a long rope.

“Go. The longer, the better. ” Spoke Old man Tenkai.

He brought up these bodyguards since they were small kids, so their loyalty was max. Once he properly trained these bodyguards for years, he kicked out company bodyguards and put them in charge of his and his family’s safety.

Quinn and Lorain were extremely worried, but Lorain suddenly remembered around how Aren could talk to her telepathy and tried.

[ The target of your spiritual contact is currently unconscious. ]

Hearing that, Lorain was overjoyed that Aren was alive and was just unconscious, ” Aren is alive! But he has fainted. Quick…We need to save him quickly. ”

Quinn was startled and asked, ” How do you know auntie? ”

Lorain told her about the spiritual contact thing, and everyone was surprised that such a thing existed.

Actually, many people knew about it, but Old-man Tenkai and his group didn’t know since they didn’t enter in a rush and waited for proper news and other things before entering.

Those who entered early and separated from their family, like how Aren went after his mother to find her, would know about this spiritual contact thing since it only appears first when you want to find someone intensely. But after that, you know about this function so you can think about contacting the other party and it will appear.

While things slightly calmed down on top and everyone waited for the rope…Aren opened his eyes with intense pain throughout his body and head.

[ Health ]: 164/700.

*Arghh….*

Aren groaned in pain as tears also appeared in his eyes due because his body was severely injured, and his bones were also broken.

He remained dizzy in pain and couldn’t gain clarity for a few minutes. He didn’t even dare to move as it increased his pain even more.

After five minutes, He slowly calmed down and tried to make sense of the situation by looking around.

‘ T-this…an underground cave? ‘ Aren thought as he looked around. Fortunately, his neck and head were fine, but his legs and left hand were broken while his waist had also given in along with some spine injuries, ‘ Sigh…we should have exited from the same way we entered the wolve’s cave. ‘

When they entered the cave and killed the wolves, they saw another exit and were leaving from there but didn’t expect that he would fall like this.

” It looks like I can only wait for someone to save me or…wait for 16 hours to time up. ” Aren muttered before he started counting the hours they spent here today.

‘ First one hour used for Blood Deers. After that, thirty minutes of town moving in and out and two hours on defeating Long-horned Red Bulls. After that, a total of eight hours was spent on finishing the next three quests and traveling and plus thirty or so minutes…Hmmm, A total of approx twelve hours and some minutes passed, so I still need to wait for less than four hours but more than three hours before I can return. ‘

*Grrrr…*

Suddenly, Aren heard a sound as his heart dropped into the abyss.

He slowly turned his neck to the left side and saw….a green fanged wolf that was bigger than normal green fanged wolves he saw on the surface.
