Ah...

What am I seeing...

< Level: 32 >

Am I dreaming, to see this in the very Dungeons?

A..., beautiful...

Girl...

" Ah, um... " Donovan stutters as he sees the dazzling blonde girl, Charlotte who also sees him too, in her very surprise.

"( Ah, you! )" Charlotte remembers him, from the 'Random Dungeon' where she first see him while she's hiding*.

" Stand back! " Charlotte orders him, she draws her sword as Donovan tries to approach.

* System warns Donovan. *

" You're threatening me? " Donovan asks, instead of raising his hands like those who want to surrender in order to have a nice talk, he keeps his hands in it's normal place, calmly approaching Charlotte while the System scans her.

"( Damn, that level is tenfold than mine. )" Donovan sees it while shivers inside.

"( Who is this girl, who- )" Donovan begins to shivers knowing the difference between the level as the System identifies it.

< Fear +1.000.000 >

< Anxious +999.999 >

< Stress +888.888 >

< Due to stress, the User faints. >

" Hey! " Charlotte immediately shouts as she sees Donovan faints before her.

" Oh, what's going on you!? " Charlotte quickly approached as she catches him right before he falls hard to the ground, blocking the eventual momentum.

" Ugh! " Charlotte catches him with a hug, she gasped, realizing that she's holding Donovan's body.

" Gah! " Charlotte flustered, she feels herself inappropriate for randomly touch a boy's body, reflectively throw Donovan away.

* Donovan's body thrown away. *

" Ah, I'm sorry! " Charlotte says to the unconscious Donovan after throwing him away.

( Hours later. )

[ Still in the same place. ]

Donovan is on Charlotte's lap, she think this is the proper way, for she thought his head needed a pillow.

" Hmmm... " Charlotte was frustrated seeing Donovan, she tries to analyze him, witnessing his Current Pitch-Black Skin.

" What kind of Skin is this? " Charlotte asks, she sees a Black Skin before but not this 'Black', like the entire body is Pitch-Black made of Black Ink color, as if the body once was thrown into a lake of Black Ink before.

" No, this natural... " Charlotte checks Donovan's body, she sees if the skin color is painted, but as she sees the hair and skin even more, she concludes that it is natural.

" Is he a 'Hybrid'...? " Charlotte asks.

" I heard there's a time where humans commingle with other races and had their spawns. "

" Even in the 'Elysium Haven' itself, Hybrids are now considered common, many often think it is normal now, unlike the past. "

" After all, all countries in Westerios Continent had agreed to abolish the discrimination for Hybrids, especially the half-human Hybrids... " Charlotte thinks while recounting the history.

Charlotte wonders more about this, the Hybrid Hypothesis is the only thing she could think off as the case for the boy she's with now.

* Donovan coughs. *

" Ah, you're awake! " Charlotte shouts as Donovan begins to wake up from his faint.

" Wha... what... happened? " Donovan asks as he then look around, seeing Charlotte's face close.

" Ah, you! " Donovan shouts at Charlotte making her fluster.

< Charlotte's Shyness +50 >

< Welcome back, User Donovan >

< It seems you had a good sleep. >

"( Yeah, good for me, yeayy... )" Donovan responds as he raise his body from the lap.

< How does it feel, sleeping in the girl's lap, User? > the System asks while Donovan turns his head back, seeing Charlotte still flustered right after his awake.

" A...a... "

Donovan sees Charlotte's expression behind him, he then sees the front again, and immediately changed expression.

"( Oh my, what did we do? )" Donovan wonders after seeing Charlotte's expression.

"( I don't know what happened, but we didn't do anything fishy, right? )" Donovan hopes.

" Aahh... " Donovan opens it but Charlotte shivers.

" No need to panic, but I, ah... "

" I need to thank you for the care, ah... " Donovan scratches his hair, he tries to formulate the sentence, like what he should open the conversation with, what he should say next.

* System shows up and showed him some choices. *

* Donovan chooses. *

* Option choose. *

" Well, aside from my gratitude, I'm Donovan! " Donovan immediately introduce himself out of nowhere.

" Donovan 'Betzalel' Richter-Grimshaw, although the Betzalel doesn't count in the Family Document, but... "

" What's your name? " Donovan bluntly asks out of nowhere, Charlotte who just fluster around, listened to it and then went silent for a bit.

" Donovan... " Charlotte thinks for a while, as she then remembered something.

The news, she once saw the news with her mother, seeing a news about the 'Child Adopted From the Dungeon.', that was the headline at the time.

( Back then. )

[ Clarent House's Mansion ]

[ News: "Child From The Dungeon', adopted by the Richter House. ]

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

" The S-Rank Hunter, Duncan Grimshaw, or now Duncan Richter-Grimshaw alongside his wife, Knight Commander Irina Richter-Grimshaw... "

" By the way, for those wonder why the name of the couple is 'Richter-Grimshaw', is because the House honored both parties and their family names, even allowed the Commoner husband, Duncan to give his family name alongside the Royal Daughter and Commander, Irina Richter. "

" It is said the love of this couple had been planted since the couple were young and both said to grow stronger and successful to fulfill their wish to be together. "

" What a romantic story, they, ah... " the female news broadcaster dragged it too long.

" But, back to the news... "

" Like it said earlier, the couple adopted a Child, an 'Unknown Child' from the Dungeons... "

" Since both didn't have child after their first year of Marriage, despite the masses forced to made one ASAP, those cruel people, how can they do that to a new couple? " the broadcaster got so emotional again.

" Perhaps, due to stress of being forced, and since it's impossible to do so after just one year of their marriage..., the couple had to resort to that to perhaps appease the demanding masses... "

" And yes, about the Child, the couple named him 'Donovan', the boy had a Pitch-Black Skin as if he was drowned with Black Ink, all of his body is black with a blue colored flash in it's tips. "

" Doctors, assigned by the Richter Royal House, as well from the other Royal House are still investigating this boy's origins, who is he? and why he was in the Dungeon in the first place? "

" Will they found out, we could only hope for the best. " the broadcaster ends it.

" Wow... " Charlotte who sees the news with her mother.

" The Dungeons are getting interesting and interesting these days... " said her mother as the two watch together.

" If a Child can be found there, wonder what else can also be found...? "

" Perhaps a mate, an Item, or..., akh! "

" Talking about the Dungeon is an issue too complex, even as an ex-Hunter like me! " said the mother as she scratch her hair in confusion.

While the Mother is confused, Charlotte in the other hand is intrigued while seeing it, the interesting news.

" I hope I could see it close... " she hopes.

...

( Present time. )

[ Dungeon: Nightcave Dungeon (Rare) ]

"( No way! )" Charlotte shouts in her mind after she remembers it.

"( He's the 'Child From the Dungeon' from the news!? )" Charlotte asks herself, gulping how very fortunate that her wish had come true, in the most unexpected ways she could think off.

" I... "

" I...I'm Charlotte... " Charlotte introduce herself to Donovan.

" I see, nice to meet ya... "

" What's your 'full name'? " Donovan asks.

" That's... " Charlotte stutters, as she stops before spitting it out.

"( Should I tell him? )" Charlotte asks herself, in her very confusion.
