Chapter 61 - Ch 61 : Chase In The City

Now that his monster has gained a way to get stronger, ray feels like a big burden has been lifted from him.

At least, he could do something else, and his monster would still be able to get stronger.

Ray then proceeded to leave the sparring room, leaving the monsters to play to their heart content, and went to the dungeon core room.

After everything that he had done today, there was still one matter that was left on hand.

Yeah, it was the Natal weapon evolution. Ray has got this reward after he successfully killed the Giant Rats, but because of some problem, he hasn't used it until now.

Ray opened the Dm tab and quickly assessed the information about the Natal Weapon evolution.

.

[ Natal weapon first evolution item.]

[ Use this item to evolve your Natal weapon. Only worked on a Natal weapon that hasn't been fully evolved.]

.

' Okay, let's do this.'

Ray summoned his Natal weapon, the stone, and immediately chose it as the evolution material.

[ DING!!! Natal weapon "The Stone" was chosen to be evolved. Proceed?Y/N]

' Yes!!'

Immediately, the stone in Ray's hand glows in golden light.

Expectation rose in Ray's mind. In fact, after he had gotten the stone before, Ray had done some research about which popular characters have used the stone as his weapon, and one of the possible characters was King David from the Bible.

King David has used a stone and slingshot to defeat Goliath, and it has become one of his legendary feats.

If the Natal weapon "The stone" in Ray's hand was indeed the one that King Davis had used, then this Natal weapon surely has a super high potential.

The process of evolution kept continuing as Ray's expectation rose, and soon, a super bright golden light covered the whole room, and a notification came to Ray's ear.

.

[ DING!!! The process of evolution has been done.]

[ Natal weapon: The Rock.]

[ The evolution of the stone. It is a lot sturdier and heavier.]

[ Passive: 1on4, After three hits, the next hits would definitely be a critical hit + true damage.]

[ Passive: Energy absorption, the more energy you put into the rock, the greater the size and the weight of the rock.]

.

" ..... "

Ray was really speechless at this.

What should he say? This evolution was kinda... okay??

It has the ability of the previous "the stone", but is enhanced, with it only needing three hits to trigger the critical hit + true damage ability. It also has the ability to control its size and weight at will, making it a definite enhance from his previous Natal weapon.

However, if compared to his expectation before, wasn't this a bit too weak?

Ray had imagined that his "the stone" would evolve into King's David line, but why did it evolve into a rock???

' System, is there anything wrong in the evolution line? Shouldn't it be King David's line of evolution?'

[ DING!!! The evolutionary path has already been decided from the start, and it has no relation at all with King David.]

" .... "

Fuckk!!! What a real letdown. Ray really felt stupid that he had expected too much, but he could only sigh by himself in the end.

' Well, even though it was not King David's, who say that it cannot be good.'

But just as Ray thought that he was done for today, a new mission notification came.

.

[ DING!!! It was indicated that the host felt that his Natal weapon was inferior, a new mission has been issued.]

[ Please develop a special move with your Natal weapon.]

[ Reward: Natal weapon's development tab.]

.

[ DING!!! Please complete the mission above and pave your own path. As a Dungeon Master, you should not try to follow other people's paths and make your own. Don't become King David the second; become Morningwood the first.]

This sentence from the system was like an epiphany to Ray. The disappointment because of The rock was no more, and instead, it was replaced by sheer determination.

. . . . . .

- Later that day -

A few hours later, Ray opened up a portal and returned to the rented building. The mission to make a special move was not an easy one, and it still needs some research.

To be honest, Ray had asked whether his previous move of Meteor Crash could be counted as a special move, but the system immediately rejected it, saying that it would be slander to treat such a rough move as a special move.

Ray then locked the rented building, making sure that everything was okay, and proceeded to go home.

It has been almost a month since he first received his DM system, and after this, there would be major changes in the world.

His Dungeon would no longer gain the protection of the DM System, and awakeners could enter his Dungeon. The ranking system appeared everywhere in the world, and people would be able to check their ranking. The stable condition of the world will definitely get impacted, and Ray still didn't know how big will the effect be on his life.

Such a change will happen in just a few days, and it was still a bit hard for Ray to accept it.

From the daily mission and daily sign-in minus his daily expenditure, Ray now currently has about 25000 DM Currency in his account. Not a really small figure, but also not that significant.

In fact, after this, he would have to spend a lot of DM, re-arranging his Dungeon and upgrading it, in case that there would be some intruder in his Dungeon. Making this 25000 DM currencies seems to be so little.

Still, things could be thought of tomorrow, and Ray now just wants to get back and rest.

Today's affair has been pretty hard on him, and he needed the little guys to relive his fatigued mind.

Ray took the bus to the orphanage; he still hadn't bought a car and didn't really have any intention to do so.

Jakarta's traffic jam was a bit too much that it made ray think having cars would only be a hassle.

Thirty minutes later, Ray got down from the bus and went to the outskirts of the orphanage.

But just at the moment when Ray was about to enter the orphanage, he suddenly felt his danger sense was ringing like crazy.

' Danger!!!'

Immediately, Ray took a few steps back, only to find a few nails were already embedded in his previous standing spot.

' This...'

A cold sweat flashed through Ray's forehead as he saw the nails embedded deeply in the ground. If not for his danger sense, he would be the one to be impaled by those nails.

Ray then surveyed his surrounding, trying to find the location of the assaulter.

' Over there, in the big tree!' With the help of Hawkeye and danger sense, Ray could easily find the perpetrator of this incident.

He was dressed in all black clothes and was standing on a tree about 100 meters away.

.

[ DING!!! A new mission has been issued.]

[ As a dungeon master, you were assaulted by someone else. Please regain back your dignity by defeating him and prove that you are worthy of the DM System.]

[ Please defeat the man in black and find his true identity. For this, the function appraisal has been turned off.]

[ Reward: Stats point +5]

[ Penalty: Appraisal skill and function will be turned off.]

.

Ray looked at the new mission and knew that he had no other choice but to do this. The Appraisal function was far too important for him, and he definitely wouldn't want to lose it. Furthermore, he believed that the DM System would not issue a mission that he could not do.

The black figure who saw that ray had already seen through his hiding location didn't stay idle. With a swift motion, he jumped from tree to tree and tried to run away.

Of course, Ray would not just let him be. He pushed all his energy into his feet and tried to chase the running-away black figure with his all.

However, the two figures that were chasing each other didn't know that they were under the supervision of someone else.

" President, a civilian was assaulted in the city. Don't you think we need to do something?"

In the black sedan outside the orphanage, the Jakarta's awakener association president was watching the chasing scene in front of him.

A solemn expression appeared on his face, and he waved his hand, signifying that everything was okay.

" Don't bother. He has gotten permission to do this, and this will also be a test for that snot-nosed boy. Whether his performance could satisfy me or not, it would depend on this."

In fact, the president of Jakarta's awakener association was also curious about Ray's performance. He was curious about the guy that was able to make Kei fall in love, and also want to judge whether he could protect Kei.

For the old man who didn't get married all his life, Kei who was the offspring of his deceased best friend was his lat relative, so he would definitely want to make sure that Ray have the strength to protect Kei.

The president then issued a command to his subordinate to continue to drive and follow the two away.

He knew that Ray and that man in black were faster than the car, but with their current power, they were still not able to escape the supervision of the old man.

Two people and a car were chasing each other in the middle of Jakarta and only ended when the man in black reached a desolate and empty building.
