Sending A Message

[Ace POV],

After a quick breakfast and a bath, I exited the alternate dimension through the bronze door and climbed the stairs to the surface.

I walked up to the surface rather than running because I wasn't in a hurry like the other times I used the stairs.

When I finally made it to the surface, I noticed that it was also daytime here, and by looking at the sky and the atmosphere, I could tell that it was now afternoon by using my mental clock and my small discoveries.

As these events transpired, I took my time to conceal my traces around the entrance leading to the stairs leading to the bronze door.

After that, I moved away from the grassy hill that held the alternate dimension's entrance, and after looking for a suitable place to settle down, I called out the primordial chronicle in my head and went to the contact section of the panel to see if I could contact Anna.

But when I tried to contact Anna, I couldn't, and the primordial chronicle informed me that the reason I couldn't contact Anna was that she wasn't in the true world.

Seeing this, the idea of Anna being dead vanished because I believe the primordial chronicle should have stated something other than the reason I couldn't contact her was that she wasn't in the true world.

This is just my view, but if I contact her again later in the day, I should be able to confirm after a few attempts.

But the notification I just received made me curious about where Anna was right now, which I wouldn't know because the said person wasn't even present. I could only push the issue to the back of my mind and concentrate on my current objectives.

But, since the main goal was still to advance in my job quest, I got right to work, picking a random location that wasn't the one I chose the day before.

[Third Person POV],

Meanwhile, a few hours earlier in the true world, Anna was watching her Crow battle two rank 1 monsters on the ground with Mia in her hands.

Anna could only wait for her summon to finish its battle after sending a message to Ace that she'd meet him at home, as she was completely useless in an actual fight.

If she were to compete on the same level as a regular human, she'd be able to defeat them fairly easily without the crow's assistance, but due to her lack of fighting experience, she'd take longer to defeat the human even with the advantage she had.

Anna had all her attributes boosted by a few levels than the average human on the same level as a result of the feedback she received from the crow after the contract and the feedback she continues to receive as the crow grows stronger, but she wasted all of this.

At least, compared to a few days ago, she was improving and adapting at a noticeable rate, assuming the strange characteristics she began displaying were ignored.

As more time passed before the crow could finally defeat its foes, Anna allowed it to rest for a few more minutes before taking off into the sky to return home.

The distance Anna and her crow could cover was huge due to their ability to fly.

Even in the magical world, the fact that air was the fastest mode of transportation did not die, though it was a little different than it was in the old world.

Because of the great distance they had traveled, Anna and her crow will still take some time to return home, and in addition to the exhaustion they had gained from hunting since exiting the alternate dimension, the speed at which they flew was much slower, so the time they would take to return home would be longer.

Of course, this was based on their normal flying speed, because flying in the air was much faster than traveling by land for humans.

This was the plan until Anna noticed something that caused her to come to a halt in the air with the crow.

Looking down from above in the air, Anna noticed something eerily similar to the first dungeon gate she saw, as well as the gateway to the true world that the guardian was guarding, but unlike these two, the one she saw in front of her was much larger, but this was not where her focus was.

Her focus was on something else entirely and that was the figures who were coming out of the 'portal'.

Anna could tell from the distance that there were at least a few dozen people down there, but this was not where her attention was focused.

Her primary attention was drawn to the appearance of the figures below.

Although there was quite a distance between them, Anna was still able to see them due to her excellent eyesight, which has been enhanced by the crow feedback she receives.

The figures that were down there were mostly females, with the males being in the minority and having grey skin and hair.

Their very long ears, on the other hand, were quite peculiar.

Anna came down from the air a little bit to get a better look at their appearance, but before she could accomplish that, more than a dozen figures on the ground turned to look at her with their grey eyes.

Meanwhile, a small group of short figures with metals and other strange materials that appeared to look like ores was near Anna and Chris' location.

They looked like humans but were much shorter.

There was clearly something going on, but what was it?
