Cherreads

Chapter 21 - Second Floor

Kai took the book, then he showed it to the viewers, "anyone that wants a class change or wants to choose their first class can come in game after I leave this dungeon and buy this from me in a small auction." Kai stated.

The chat immediately came alive, multiple viewers offering actual money to get their hands on the book, Kai saw it, and the hustler in him screamed out to take advantage of it, but he knew he had to be cautious with things like this and not allow his own downfall.

"No real time money will be used, you can get the book in game for coins, and it will be the highest bidder." He stated, determined to keep his resolve.

Many in the chat grumbled and complained about it. The opportunity to get their hands on such a book was very rare, so they didn't want this opportunity stripped away from them.

Kai ignored the chats and looked at the crystal. 'I guess it's time to move to the next.' He thought, he checked the timer to see how far he had come, and it was only a few minutes over an hour, which meant he still had a long way to go before the six hour mark was done.

He turned around, looking for Mira and she was right there behind him, still holding Cuddles.

"Mira, the next floor might be more dangerous, I'll do my best to protect you, but unlike this floor, I might need your help more." Kai said.

Mira looked at him and then gave a calm nod, "I understand." She replied.

"Alright then, let's head in." He said, and then placed his hand on her shoulder before touching the crystal, and instantly, their bodies were pulled in.

When Kai opened his eyes again, he was standing somewhere different. Here the sky was painted black, the sun could barely pierce through, and its glow was reddish, casting a very eerie presence.

The air smelt of burnt decay, it was heavy and difficult to breathe. Kai stood on a stone platform the size of a house, it was circular and covered in cracks. Broken pillars stood around it, and one gate path existed.

Beyond that, there was nothing else in this place. Curious to find out what was happening, Kai walked to the edge and stood there, and what he saw was a burnt out forest that stretched as far as his eyes could see.

It was completely desolate and empty, void of anything that was life, well it was, until Kai began noticing creatures moving there.

They were far, but he could see what they were, they looked like Hobgoblins, but their skins were charred black, and their eyes redder than that of normal goblins.

They gripped weapons that had been through heavy damage. Their grips around them tight and steadfast.

"This does not look good." Kai said. He tried to step out of the circular stone platform, but he slammed into an invisible barrier.

BONG

The barrier glowed red and then vanished again.

"This is really not good." Kai said, he placed his hand on the barrier wall and tried to push, it was solid as a rock. Then he looked at the monsters far off and he noticed that they were all heading his direction, meaning they were coming to fight him.

And if game logic had taught him anything, it was that those monsters would be able to bypass the barrier, unlike him.

[KillMonger221: Yo, this is about to be a cool fight]

[Savage-Lord22: an arena type fight, didn't expect that]

[Roadrander: This just went from an easy to difficult mode in seconds]

The chats were filled with their different opinions, more than three thousand people all watching at the same time to see what Kai would do in this situation.

The monsters soon got even closer and Kai could now see their levels, and the lowest was a level seven, while the rest were eights and nines, and their levels were not the usual white color, it had turned red and was glowing.

[Savage-Lord22: Made some research, that glowing level number means that they are in a state, it could be Bloodlusted, murderous, something bad, and it gives buffs when it comes to killing]

"Yeah, that's not fun." Kai stated, he stepped away from the edge and looked at Mira.

"Mira, I think I might need your help soon." He said.

"Uhm? What do you need?" She asked in an innocent tone.

"Do you have anything that could help me fight large numbers of monsters?" Kai asked.

She immediately nodded, "I have a lot of that, I can definitely help." She said eagerly, pulling out her grimoire.

"Huh? I thought I was with that book?" Kai commented.

She flipped through the pages and then found one page, she got on her feet, and then started walking to one corner, and then to the next.

"Uhm, what are you doing?" Kai asked.

"Setting the spell, I am using a powerful spell and it needs preparation." She said and kept walking.

Kai walked back to the edge, seeing that the monsters were now on the stairs leading to the platform.

"Uhm, how much time do you need?" He asked, getting ready to fight.

"Oh, I am done." She responded and then walked back to the center, she picked up Cuddles and walked to a pillar, sitting there and leaning her back against the pillar.

Kai looked at her in confusion, "where is the spell?" He asked.

"I set it to activate when the monsters come, it will buff you and nerf them." She said with an innocent smile.

[LordGooner143: Mira for the win, she is turning out to be my favorite on this stream]

"I don't really think you should be the one making Mira your favorite." Kai said to LordGooner, "you make a lot of questionable decisions and give some crazy advice." Kai added.

[LordGooner143: tch, switching up on your day one in day two is crazy]
