Still holding her in his arms, the most handsome man Rhea had ever seen in entire her life turned towards her, before saying with a light smile that made her heart skip multiple beats.
"Hey there, Dear Teacher...!"
In her delirious state, she just raised her right hand and touched his cheek ( she wanted to hold both of his cheeks, but her left hand was already out of commision ), mumbling
"So Handsome...!",
While not noticing his sneaky right hand that was grabbing and coping a feel of her right breast.
Just then, she received a notification from the system.
[ You have killed one of the six legged mutated hounds ]
[ You have received exp ]
[ You have leved up ]
[ You have leveld up ]
At some point, the six legged dog monster that was called mutated hound by the system died due to repeatedly crashing into other monsters and getting stomped by them.
Because of her major contribution in it's death, and the strength disparity between Rhea and the monster, she leveled up twice reaching level 3.
The moment Rhea leveled up, due to the improved stats her fatigue lessened along with her wounds recovering a little.
Only then did she remember what she said and the kind of situation she was in.
Then her face turned bright red like a ripe tomato, her head even emitting smoke, since she had never been this close to a man before.
So she leaned forward and immediately hid her face using his chest to hide her embarassment.
'But it wasn't so bad, this warmth and the feeling of being protected', Rhea thought.
Graham Ravenblade's Pov
An hour earlier,
After packing food and water with some snacks, that'll last him a few days, Graham was planning to go to a nearby forest since the dungeons usually spawn in the middle of the forest due to the gathering of wild mana.
Since it was a creation of the worlds to train it's denizens,there is no actual risk of death. When you die in a dungeon, you'll only lose a level and get transported outside to the dungeon entrance.
So dungeon grinding was the only way to steadily increase his level in the system without caring for the risks compared to doing those cumbersome quests to increase his level.
He only planned to go there after the mana explosion reaches earth and grind there for a while, since it'll take a cople of hours for the dungeons to be created for the first time.
But fate had other plans for him it seems.
When the mana explosion reached earth, the first thing he saw were those multiple crimson portals spanning across the world and releasing monsters more disgusting than anything he had ever seen.
"Hey, Lisa?"
[ Yes master! ]
"What the fuck is going on here? I don't remember seeing anything like this shit in my past life"
[ Wait a moment, Master. I'll check with the Universal System ]
[ Integrating the Forgotten God's System with the Universal System... ]
[ Integration complete. ]
[ Showing the quest issued by the Universal System ]
[ Emergency quest : Survive the apocalypse
Quest details : Due to the influx of mana , Earth has started to evolve, disrupting it's spatial stability during the process. Using that instability, Monsters are descending from the dimensional gates with a single goal in mind - Slaughter.
Quest objective : Survive for one hour.
Quest reward : + 5 Levels to every survivor.
After an hour, Earth's evolution will be completed and the rampaging monsters will be pushed back into the gates, sealed temporarily by the Universal System. ]
" What are these dimensional gates in the first place ? Where did they come from ? "
[ I'll check for it right away, Master ! ]
[ Establishing link to the UniversalRecords... through the Universal System ]
[ Searching for the cause and origin of the dimensional gates ]
[ Search complete. ]
[ So basically, you are the reason for this shit, dear master...(Hahahaha) ]
"How ?" Graham asked incredulous.
[ When you broke the Universal Gate with your soul detonation, the universal capsule that protects the universe developed more cracks, giving the invaders somewhat restricted access to our universe. ]
[ And using the channels, they created those dimensional gates sending countless monsters into our universe to create chaos. ]
[ Normally when a gate is newly opened, the monsters inside are held back by the Universal System until their numbers grow too much and a gate break occurs. But when a world evolves for the first time this is what happens nowadays. ]
[ You can even call it the Apocalypse of newly evolved worlds ]
"So, I screwed up big time huh..."
[ No master..! You did the right thing. ]
[ Otherwise using the universal gate, those idiotic gods would have opened the universal capsule to let those powerful invaders into our universe. ]
[ But the cracks only let them send their minions inside while blocking anyone too powerful from entering. ]
"I see, Thanks Lisa. I thought I doomed my own universe for a bit there."
[ You are welcome, master ! ]
