NOVEL WEB Ch 65 – I’m under questioning…
"..."
"I guess it's to be expected though..." I say.
"Why would that be?" Mihara asks me.
"Ah... See... This system is from this world and... Nevermind." Fuck, I almost spilled the beans. I can't just say "Listen, this girl is from another fucking world", that'd be ludicrous.
"Eh... but-"
"Just, nevermind, really. Please. I'll explain it later."
"Okay then..."
"What are the two of you gossiping about?" Gloria circles behind me and shows up between me and Mihara as we speak. She sounds annoyed, and annoying.
"Not much, really. Just that it was to be expected." I say, sparing Mihara from any collateral.
"What do you mean, "To be expected"? Give me some credit, will ya?"
"Okay, okay, but we better get going."
And as such, we set foot again towards the entrance of the dungeon... Why I'm taking them with me? See... I saw something up there and really want to test it out...
Show status page for this body, please.
Oh, I felt some happiness in my mind?! Could it be? Nah...

You see that? That's what I need. The level? No, that's not important, the skill! That's what I'm talking about! Anyhow, There's also the titles I got before... They don't show here for some reason... I can check this later. Or rather... System, where are my titles?
< All titles will be integrated into the [God of φ] title. Their effects still remain. All effects of the [God of φ] title can be told, do you want to listen to the effects of it? >
I'll pass!!!! Let me read them later in the other system.
"Gun? Why are you so quiet?" I hear Gloria's voice from my side, bringing me back to reality.
"Oh, I was checking some skills and titles... The whole thing changed."
"Oh, I see... I guess it's to be expected."
"What are you guys talking about?" Feeling left out, Mihara asks from the other side.
"We're talking about the system... It's organization changed quite a bit after what happened earlier." I answer.
"Earlier? You mean the red lights and all?"
"Yeah....... Kinda, but yeah. Then."
"I see... It's difficult for me to guess since I need the Status Stone to access mine... It's been months since I last checked mine."
"Status... stone?" I ask.
"You don't know about it?!"
"Not a clue."
"How can I explain..." Mihara struggled to find words to explain what it was and how it worked, but Gloria spoke, clearing her from it.
"The Status Stone is a very rare mineral that is said to have been created by the Chaos God himself. It allows for humans to see their own power and skills without having to use extremely rare skills such as Appraisal and Gaze, which are very expensive."
"I see... Didn't know it was rare."
"It is... The stones that still exist, as far as I recall, are all located in the main branches of the Guilds. And in the hands of a few powerful kingdoms." Instead of Gloria, Mihara continued to explain to me about them. Gloria had a bitter expression... I think she didn't really know much about that stuff...
"Eh... I see..."
"By the way, why are we going back to the entrance?" Mihara asked me.
"Oh... There's a very large group of Goblins. I want to talk to their leader and increase the dungeon monster count."
"Go...blins?"
"Yeah."
"Wait, wait, wait, WAIT!" Gloria jumped in front of me, forcing me to stop. "Are you taking us to try and talk to thousands of goblins without any backup or strength to defend in case they attack us back?" She complained. I could kinda see Mihara's eyes widen.
"No..." I snap my fingers. Instantly, a dozen Dark Goblins clad in black fall from the ceiling. "I have them to buy us time if anything goes wrong."
"You... don't be overconfident. You know what happens every time you do that." She warns me.
"I know. It's fine. I'll have you wait inside and talk to him on my own. If anything goes wrong, I'll just send all monsters to fight them while you go back inside."
"Hmm... I'll trust you this time, but don't fuck it up."
"I won't."
"Etoo, what will happen to you if you fail?" Mihara asked, worried.
"Oh, I'll probably die. But I can still control the dungeon without this body, so I'll find a way to communicate with you two until I can materialize again."
"I see..."
"That doesn't sound very reassuring, you know?" Gloria smirked.
"It's gonna be fine. If you want, I can get some of those Shamans with us now to help give some impact."
"I'd appreciate that. Remember we don't know whether I can rematerialize yet. And also that the girl over there is not like you. If she dies, she's dead... I guess she's already dead though."
"Huh?! Ah... I'm turning into an undead... Forgot about it for a second."
"Anyways, let's please get going before they decide to enter the dungeon and it becomes harder. The hobgoblins are waiting for us in the room just ahead."
'They are not yet, but I'm working on it, just please stop doing this to me.'
"Okay." Thankfully, Gloria agrees and lets me walk. Fuck, I feel like they were interrogating me.
