Chapter 28: New Items and Information
Chapter 28: New Items and Information
When Stark approached the shiny light on top of the Mayor's body (Lana following closely behind him to see what he would get), he noticed that there wasn't only one item... but TWO!
The first one was a blue bow that emanated some sort of chilly magic aura, it seemed to be of high quality.
The second item, however, caught Stark's attention even more. It was a ring with a glowing crystal in the center, radiating a soft, soothing light.
He immediately decided to use [Perception] to analyze both these items.

...
'Holy shit, this is OP!' Stark laughed, he had gotten an incredible item again, and he would also be able to sell the bow at a fair price, making his journey totally worth it.
"Wait, there are two items, one is a bow, and i'm an archer, so can I get it?" The bow in front of her was better than the one she was using currently, and she also had the required level.
Weapons with perks weren't that rare, but those that had one were much more expensive than the ones that didn't.
"..." Stark stared at her for a few seconds, then back at the bow, "Nah, it's mine."
He activated [Spatial Inventory] and put the bow and ring inside.
Lana didn't even question the weird void that opened and that was somehow able to store both the items, she was just shocked Stark wouldn't even give her that while he wasn't even an archer.
"If you want the bow," Stark maniacally smiled at her, "You'll have to pay up," he rubbed three of his fingers together, mimicking the sign of money.
"I-" Lana didn't know what to reply, on one hand she knew that Stark was the sole reason she survived the boss fight, whether it was from stopping him from approaching her, or forcing most of the monsters to go toward him, it was undeniable that he had helped her.
And yet... she couldn't believe he was so petty over such a small matter.
"You can take them," she made up her mind, but she would make sure to buy a bow way better than the one he had acquired.
"Good girl!" Stark patted her shoulders, then began walking toward the exit.
"...?" she had never been treated this way before, it was always respect and admiration that surrounded her, as well as undeniable love from all those around her.
And yet... when she saw Stark so nonchalantly call her a 'good girl' without even being embarassed, it was like something snapped inside of her.
Her face was bright red, and she tried her hardest to hide it, "What the hell is happening... calm down me... you can't be aroused by this...!"
Leaving Lana behind to fight with her inner conflicts, Stark decided it was time for him to leave the dungeon, he had nothing else to do in there, and wanted to sell his items as well.
But as he began taking steps toward the exit...
A panel appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations for completing your first dungeon, Host! As a reward, you have been granted new information!]
'...?'
Stark stopped for a few seconds to read, 'What kind of information do I need at this point.'
[You can read the information now or leave it for later (not recommended)]
Curiosity getting the better of him, Stark decided to read the new information he had received as a reward for completing his first dungeon. As he focused on the panel in front of him, the words started forming a message:
[New Information Unlocked: Domination Class]
'Hm...' he guessed that it was actually interesting, he had absolutely no information about this one after all.
[The domination class is possibly the most powerful class in this world, but it is also the hardest!]
[Classifiers who own this class are bound by many rules:
-Their life is immediately set to HELL mode, meaning that enemies are a lot stronger while fighting them.
-The amount of experience needed to level up is also increased by a ton, but in exchange, every level up grants a lot more power than any other class.
-The monsters are stronger, but they also grant more EXP!]
'Huh... I guess the amount of experience needed between each of my levels is indeed much more than anyone else...'
Thinking that was all, Stark continued walking toward the exit of the boss area: the mansion, as a portal had appeared there.
[WAIT.]
A crimson panel that exuded a menacing aura appeared again before.
[5 days left until the 'First Domination Trial', GOOD LUCK]
'The fuck? It stopped me again for that?' this was all that appeared in front of him, and once that panel disappeared, nothing else came, 'The trial is happening in five days...?'
Subconsciously, Stark remembered that such a thing was written on his status window, and so he decided to open it.
...

...
'What the hell is the domination trial...' Somehow, he had a really bad feeling about it, one that told him he would meet his end there.
The fact it was so soon meant he wouldn't be able to look for an academy/organization/guild to go to after showing his achievements to the world.
The first thing he would need to do was to... participate in that thing.
Stark was a bit overwhelmed by the new information about the Domination class, but he didn't have much time to think about it.
He had to focus on selling his items and on the impending "Domination Trial" in five days.
He reached the portal that was beyond the mansion's door, and after giving one last look to the embarassed Lana, he passed through it.
'Fuck that shit, i'll find a way...' he thought.
