God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Jason really wanted to have some peace for himself, and he didn't really believe that it was a good sign to encounter Miranda and the people behind her.

They looked at him weirdly, unsure whether they should look at him in anger for wasting their time, or with interest because he might be able to help them.

In the end, some chose one reaction while the others took the latter.

Yet, Jason could only look at Miranda before he simply asked her.

"Am I not allowed to be on Kinra island, Miranda?"

He had a faint smile on his face, but it was not difficult to understand that Jason was in no mood to spend more time with them.

The tone of his voice suggested this as it sounded slightly off, and annoyed.

This caused Miranda to feel a little bit odd, and she recalled the prank she and Leo had played.

As such, she couldn't help but think that he acted like this because of the incident.

Thus, Miranda didn't mind it that much.

Rather, it was better to make up for her mistake while simultaneously reaping as many benefits as possible.

Thinking of a way to make amends, Miranda made an offer.

"Do you want to enter one of the hidden dungeons with us? We were able to find clues to the location of one and need one more member, and you seem to be suitable!"

Jason frowned a little on hearing this, knowing that his cultivation base was much weaker than the rest.

Miranda was probably the strongest and also youngest of her group, but the others were also at the peak of the Prismar stage.

As such, Jason was, by far, the weakest.

Through the Emperor Eyes, he could see the emotional hue around Miranda and the rest, but that was, unfortunately, not very helpful as the other group member's emotions were fluctuating a lot.

That was neither good nor bad, and Jason couldn't be sure how they would react once they found a treasure inside the dungeon.

In the end, a dungeon could be like an Inheritance trial, a tower with stronger opponents on the higher floors, or completely different.

There was no set rule on how a dungeon should look like. However, dungeons were in almost every case, constructed by multiple powerful beings that wanted to gather their own Inheritance in one place.

This was either done to save time, funds, or simply the time to search for numerous suitable candidates.

Most people liked to enter dungeons much more than normal Inheritance sites because both the participant and the artificial intelligence of the respective inheritance could figure out if they were a match for each other.

While the inheritance could be given to those that solve even the most challenging task, the participants had the chance to receive more rewards, and find out what exactly is suitable to them.

With multiple Inheritances put together in a single building, even Jason became interested because he had yet to find out what kind of inheritance was the most suitable for him.

However, at the same time, he recalled that Luna told him about two particular inheritances about eyes.

One required the participant to already possess special trait eyes, while the inheritance, which was also the one Luna had passed, had enhanced and altered her eyes.

Apparently, that was also why her eyes looked different.

In the end, Jason was more interested in the Inheritance site that demanded him to possess any kind of special trait eyes because it was likely to strengthen his powerful eyes even further.

Unfortunately, with Miranda's invitation, he would have to think of a solution first.

Given his interest in dungeons, it was not like he wanted to refuse her entirely.

As such, Jason approached the situation tactfully.

"Do you know what kind of inheritances have been put together inside the dungeon?"

His question was normal to ask because it would take months before one would be able to pass through all trials.

Because of that, Jason knew that he was likely to enter only one more Inheritance site without the need to rush through it to get some rewards.

Advancing through an Inheritance site was not what Jason planned to do. As such, he told himself that he would only enter one more place, and only if he had a few more months left would he consider another Inheritance site to be feasible to enter.

But that was only under the assumption that the second Inheritance one didn't give him any rewards he could make use of, thus giving him reason to enter another inheritance site!

At the same time, Jason found it extremely weird that Miranda asked him, a being at the first threshold of the Prismar stage, to enter a dungeon with them.

Either they didn't trust others, were simply inviting people to achieve the necessary numbers, or they wanted to exploit him.

Those were the most likely reasons for Miranda and her group to have, according to Jason.

As such, he waited for Miranda's answer, only to see her shrug her shoulders.

"It is a hidden dungeon, so I have no idea what kind of Inheritances we can procure there. There are only a few clues, but they're not necessarily true, and might have been falsified by the creators of the dungeon.

I have heard some rumors about such things happening before!"

Miranda didn't seem to hesitate while answering him, which was a good sign indicating that she didn't hold back any information.

It was not certain, but Jason felt that Miranda was sincere in her approach to ask him if he wanted to join them.

Nodding his head, he partially agreed and had only two more questions before he would answer Miranda's request.

"I don't quite understand why you would ask me to enter the dungeon with you guys? There are hundreds of beings with a much higher cultivation base, and I'm not strong enough to fight beings at the peak Prismar stage.

And, what were those clues? I don't want to sound rude, but it's unlikely that I can enter another Inheritance site after this one, and if the inheritances are not suitable for me, I would rather not join you guys…"

Jason sounded apologetic, but the follow-up questions were slowly starting to annoy the group members behind Miranda.

He noticed this, yet, ignored it for the time being.

It was not good to have group members that couldn't even control their facial expressions for a short time. Thus, a few scenarios about things that could happen were already playing out in Jason's head.

However, he didn't say anything else and waited for Miranda's answer.

"If I'm not wrong, you should be able to fight against those at the peak of the 1st threshold of the Prismar stage, right? That's already amazing with your cultivation base. But, that's not exactly the reason why I wanted you to enter the dungeon with us.

One of the clues stating the possible inheritance you can find within it are rainbow colored eyes, and when I saw you, I remembered that you have unique eyes too, so I kind of instinctively asked you!"

Her reason was not really convincing but Jason was intrigued.

"Eyes?"

The fact that the dungeon's clues were eyes was interesting, but the weird change in Miranda's teammates' behavior caused him to feel a little queasy.

They were quickly annoyed, and it was almost as if they were putting on a facade.

As such, he made his decision based on his gut feeling.

"Miranda, I have to thank you for inviting me to such a great opportunity, but I will have to decline your offer!"
