---At the same time at Allan's house, London, England ---
A circle emitting purple light appeared above the door, in the middle of it was the scene inside Evelina's room. From within that Portal circle, Elina stepped out.
“Oh, away from home?”
The female doctor was surprised when the whole room was dark, no sound, and no one else present. She put her shoes on the shelf and clapped her hands a few times. The light device responded to the applause and the light returned to the living room. Without the presence of Allan and Yona, nor the usual bustling sounds of the two children, a feeling of sadness arose in Elina's heart. After all, every day in this world, this place is always filled with the laughter of the three of them.
“Hmm?”
When she checked her phone, she saw a message from Allan. There was also a piece of paper on the dining table with a similar message.
[Yona and I have just been hired by a customer to go on a trip to the Dungeon, so we'll probably be home late tonight. There's $100 on the table if you want to ship hot, fresh food online. Otherwise, there is food in the refrigerator that you want to warm up to use immediately. You can enjoy dinner while watching our Dungeon trekking stream via Allan Channel.]
“It seems like everyone is busy.”
Elina placed her hand in front of her mouth and giggled loudly. Even though she wasn't present, she could still feel how Allan helped her. After finishing studying at Evelina, she was able to have Magic Tool devices clean her body without having to bathe anymore. The female doctor took the beef burger out of the refrigerator and put it in the microwave to warm it up. She simultaneously took a plate of lettuce salad with tomatoes mixed with BBQ sauce. She turned on the TV and displayed a screen like a smartphone screen. She used the iPad screen on the table to open Allan's channel using the link in the phone message.
Sitting at the dining table with food, she opened a can of soda and took a sip. The cool water full of bubbles, the sweet sweetness of sugar and the sour taste of lemon washed away all the fatigue from her throat. Elina started eating while watching the stream, she couldn't help but feel somewhat humorous. Allan went into a dangerous place, but the way he talked on stream was no different from when he played the game. Still with her usual cheerful voice, still with the same laughing expression that she often sees. The way Yona had to worry and advise the boy was no different than what a normal person should do in a dangerous place. Yet, Allan was still able to turn it into an entertaining TV show.
Although it's still unclear how fate brought him to this world. However, being lucky enough to live again, to see her daughter again, and to have a good person accept her family in this world, it makes Elina feel how lucky she is. However, the events in the past and what happened to Allan made her unable to completely feel secure. A fear still lurks somewhere in her mind, waiting for the event to come and make her panic.
“No, I learned from Dr. Evelina to keep that from happening!” Elina shook her head from side to side as if to shake negative thoughts out of her mind. “Hopefully I will soon be able to complete some equipment for the two kids-”
Bam
“Eh?”
The stream screen suddenly stopped, interrupting Elina's thoughts and monologue. After a few blinks, not understanding what happened, she swiped the phone screen and scrolled down to the comments section to check.
[Eh? Is there a problem with the stream?]
[Or it's time: next time at Allan Channel, will we meet any hidden bosses!]
[Someone call for help urgently!]
[Oh no, YONAAAAA!]
[Skill issue]
“…”
Seeing that the situation was not positive, Elina immediately stood up from the table. She took out a newly crafted Magic Tool box from the Bag of Holding. When you press the button on the small device like a Rubik's Cube, it immediately grows bigger and forms like a drone with arms. That drone immediately took food and drinks with her while Elina put on her shoes and left the apartment room.
“Call a taxi for me!”
Elina gave instructions, and the Drone immediately performed the phone call function. Meanwhile, she was holding a burger in one hand and munching on it, with the other hand she was calling the emergency number, and both feet were constantly walking quickly out of the apartment.
“…Will the two children be okay?”
After taking the elevator down to the ground floor and stepping out of the apartment building, Elina looked up at the top of the Dungeon gate and couldn't help but calm down. She knew that she could not go directly to that dangerous place to save Allan and Yona. So, the only possible thing that the female doctor could do was to call for help and get there, while praying that tragedy would not strike her family again.
--- Beneath the Dungeon, London, England---
“I didn't expect… there was something like this in the Dungeon…”
Allan was breathing heavily, his entire armor was full of circular dents, his helmet had become dented, his goggles were broken and exposed his forehead which was bleeding into his eyes. His legs were being tightened by muscles to prevent him from collapsing. The dark cave scene was lit by the dim light of luminescent mushrooms, which became even dimmer as his eyesight weakened from exhaustion.
At Allan's feet were countless seed fragments as large as the Greater Man Eater Plant, but it emitted a strong, nauseating smell of poison. The night in front of the gamer was hiding a giant creature, but it could not hide the sound of insects flapping their wings. It was still an annoying buzzing sound that continuously echoed, but the volume it brought was a hundred times greater than normal, the entire corridor around the cave was now being filled with the strong wind from those wings!
Zap
“Sorry… if my performance was better… I wouldn't have gotten injured…”
Yona spoke intermittently, her voice disturbed by the crackling sound of electricity. Countless scratches covered her face and body, revealing the metallic gray underneath. The robot girl's loose arm is currently only connected to her shoulder by electric wires. Yona is currently using her other hand to stabilize her arm, which could break the wire and roll on the ground at any time.

“What's wrong…” Allan said, his breathing causing him to pause continuously.
Bang bang bang
“REDUCE, REDUCE NOW!”
Cide stood in front of the two brothers and shouted loudly, constantly pulling the trigger to shoot the huge thing before his eyes. The fire from the bullets lit up the night and then went out again and again. What was floating in front of the three of them was a deformed creature with a body full of plant vines, countless wasp heads but a carnivorous mouth with sharp teeth, and on its back were flapping insect wings. continuous. There were only a few small, insignificant bullet holes on its body. The fire bullets from the Hunter aren't really enough to make it afraid!
“Under the Dungeon… are there usually monsters this strong?” Allan used the stun gun in his hand to shoot, then continued to step back into the entrance hallway.
“No way in hell!” Cide gritted his teeth and grumbled, still not forgetting to pull the trigger of the rifle. “If there was, I wouldn't have been foolish enough to come down here!”
“This Monster… is as strange as the winged scorpion… I saw in my dream…”
The gamer's mind couldn't help but recall the surreal dream from before. Monsters are weirder, bigger, and more powerful than usual. At first he felt nervous and looked forward to a challenging but interesting battle. However, right now, his anxiety was much greater.
“Last time… that guy J was able to defeat the bug so easily… it doesn't make up for me now…” Allan smiled bitterly, while still standing in front of Yona to shield him while walking backwards.
Bang bang bang bang
“THIS IS NO TIME FOR DREAMING!”
Cide shouted. The next second, a series of seeds shot out like a storm from the mouths of the hybrid plant monster. All three of them reluctantly used their guns to shoot back. Most of the seeds were intercepted by Allan and Yona's high-voltage electric bullets, but a few were hit by Cide. The seeds crumbled, they scattered the liquid inside and flew out like rain.
Kong kong kong
Allan stood in front of the other two and blocked the particles and liquid with his body. Of course, even the seeds that no one had time to destroy flew straight into the boy's body. The impact was like a hammer, making his body dizzy and gradually pushing him back. The deafening sounds of metal colliding continuously rang out, and the dents in his armor formed holes. The helmet's glass part was broken into many pieces, they clattered and lay on the dry ground!
Poof
“Mr. Allan!”
Yona screamed when she saw her brother fall to the ground. The girl quickly used her remaining hand to move. With each breath steam formed from Allan's mouth, his face was stained with a bright red color of blood. The boy's body was almost motionless, it was no different from fuel for Yona's panic!
“Can you still hear me, Allan!”
Yona's eyes began to form tears. The little girl pulled and tried to shake her brother awake. She hopes that Allan will wake up, and hopes that everything is not too late to save.
"Damned!"
Cide overcame his panic with extreme anger. The scream of that experienced Hunter man was like a threat to the enemy. That's also a way to suppress fear, the instinct that constantly urges every nerve in him to throw away his weapon and run away! Even if he wore a gas mask on his face, it was still not enough for Cide to escape this life-or-death situation.
“Put that guy on your shoulders and shoot back!” Cide shouted to give the most useful instructions at the current emergency.
“Y-yes!”
Yona quickly placed the unconscious Allan on her small shoulders. The little girl reluctantly had to keep her balance so her brother wouldn't fall, and with her other hand, she had to reluctantly pull the trigger and shoot back.
BOOM
The hybrid tree-bug monster's mouth continuously sprayed a rain of seeds, flying high to the ceiling and gliding behind the three of them. In the rain without an umbrella, all three Hunters were drenched with injuries all over their bodies and dust. Three people collapsed to the ground, Cide's bones were broken, and Yona's metal joints were almost intact.
Only then did Allan see his surroundings clearly. His eyes were stunned when he saw Yona and Cide lying trembling on the ground. He strained all his muscles to try to get up, but his body no longer had the strength to listen to him. Each of his limbs became as heavy as lead, each movement as slow as a slug. When the gamer boy raised his eyes, he saw that the Monster's vines had wrapped around all three of them.
“…So I will die here.” Allan's tears mixed with the blood on his face, his lips were pressed tight with regret. “Will anyone ask someone to save us… and if this is my last journey… then I don't feel heartless at all…”
Every pessimistic thought ran through his mind. The body feels helpless as if it has no more energy and continues to make each thought more intense. Allan began to wonder if he had this power because all his luck in his life had been used up? Or was this a consequence of him being too confident in his own abilities?
“Sorry… Yona… I'm too weak to be a hero… Elina… sorry I couldn't protect Yona…”
Allan's eyelids also gradually became heavier, they were weighed down by his lost will and depleted strength. The darkness now completely covered his vision. His mind had already given up, so as not to hear any more sounds, Monster turned all three into nutrition. He was ready for the death that was about to come to him, hoping in his heart that it would be as painless as possible...
--- ---
[Welcome everyone to the divine selection. I'm Albus, the friendly Demi-god of everyone. Nice to meet you ~.]
A young woman's voice spoke up, it was as clear as the sound of a stream and sweeter than the sounds of birds. Allan slowly opened his eyes, he was stunned by the scene around him. The dark, musty cave was now gone, under his feet was a floor with smooth tiles, the surrounding area was extremely bright. He found himself standing in the middle of a spacious hallway, everything was pure, spotless white. It gave him the feeling that this was inside a castle, or a temple with European architecture.
“Hmm?” Allan looked back at himself. He realized that his armor had healed again, the pain all over his body had disappeared, and his strength had also recovered. “That's right, Cide, Yona!”
The boy looked around frantically, he realized his two companions were lying on the floor. When he bent down to check, he noticed that the injuries on their bodies were gone. The armor on Allan's hand disappeared, and he touched Cide's neck to check his pulse. His fingers felt the pulse of his blood vessels, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Yona, he tried to put his ear to his sister's face. He heard the small sound of the computer's fan. Because he didn't know exactly how to check a robot, he could only temporarily feel secure when his sister was no longer injured and still active.
Looking towards the end of the hallway, he saw a young girl with long, shiny white hair. She wore a sparkling golden crown, and was sitting on a throne intricately carved with snake heads and bat wings. She was wearing a red one-piece dress with golden lines, it looked no less than the clothes used at Western banquets.
"Where is this? And how did I end up here?”
“Is there an event going on?”
“Don't joke! I'm not involved in this!”
“This is not kidnapping!”
“Can I go home yet? My family has a lot of work~.”
Hearing the commotion of voices, Allan turned around and saw many people in this large hallway. There are young and old men and women of all races, from Elves with pointed ears, Dwarves with modest heights, Dragonborn with dragon heads and scaly bodies, or Tieflings with red or blue skin and pair of horns on the head and tail on the back. There are even Robots and Beastfolk races with humanoid animal appearances. Each of them had a different reaction, positive, negative, as well as indifferent. The scene and situation at this time made Allan feel a bit confused, not really knowing what was going on in this place. At least, he still felt secure because his whole group did not have to become fertilizer in the Dungeon.
[Everyone calm down.] The girl sitting on the throne spoke, a friendly smile still on her face. [So that everyone doesn't have to wait long. I, Albus, will get straight to the point.]
The young girl who called herself Demi-God Albus continued to explain. Light radiated from her and changed the surrounding scenery. The entire throne room was now dark in the night sky, it was decorated with countless sparkling stars. Below the feet of the people there and Allan is the blue planet Earth, where most of them live.
