Solo Panicking

Song Pa Gu Tower

~♡♡☼♡♡~

There was a bit of wind that passed by as two figures stood in front of the Song Pa Gu Power. The darkness of the night was their cover and the street lamps dimly lit the way. The taller figure was wearing mostly dark gray with a jacket hood over his head. The smaller figure had on dark pants but with a larger hoodie on. Her hair was being held back by two small butterfly clips, one was gold and the other silver.

Jinwoo pulled a dark red key from his jacket pocket, a reward for doing the daily quest twice. It was jagged with six pricks, three on each side, almost looking like little wings. He held it out for you to see.

"After completing the goals twofold the daily quest turned into a 'Hidden Quest'. I expected that I would get a better reward than usual, but its an S-Class item."

You hummed, wondering if you should try that sometime soon. Jinwoo speaks up again,

"Are hidden quests only given when dailies are done excessively?"

"It might just be a one-time thing." you answer knowing that it was in fact a one-time thing.

All he does is hum in acknowledgment before inserting the key. A small orangish gate appears with the company of red electricity sparking out of it.

"Anyway, since I obtained this dungeon entry key, we have no choice but to go in."

"Um no, I still have a choice!" you protest, really not wanting to go in

All he does is smirk, which looks way to good on him, before turning the key allowing the building to be ingulfed in a bright light not to unlike fire.

"Don't worry I'll protect you, besides we ate quite a few of your stat boosting pastries."

That is true, all your stats have a +50 for 6 hours, but still couldn't you have supported him from outside the instant dungeon?!

Jinwoo takes your hand before walking through the gate, the smell of smoke and a burst of heat is what awaits on the other side. The tower which was just fine moments ago now appeared to be on fire.

'If a key's rarity is proportional to the dungeon's difficulty... then this dungeon is S-Rank! And i've just brought Y/N who has no experience in this kind of thing.' Jinwoo thinks, sweating a bit being taking a peek at you.

You've cover your mouth with your sleeve to block out the smoke. Your worried, you know Jinwoo makes it out ok with status recovery but,

'I DON'T HAVE THAT!!' you cry inwardly, you feel your hand being squeezed before looking up at Jinwoo

"I have a hearthstone that will get us out of here if necessary, besides we have your food too if we need to stack our stats."

You stare into his eyes and note how sure and determined he is. You nod before adding,

"You're right. Plus, I have a hidden card up my sleeve to use just in case."

Jinwoo was about to question what you mean by that, but his attention was caught by something up ahead. A large shadowy figure was approaching as well as six pairs of glowing red eyes. Soon the sound of thumping could be heard.

"Y/N go hide somewhere, I'll take care of it."

You want to argue but the sound of growls stopped you, no it wasn't Jinwoo's stomach but from the up coming beast. You take a few steps back, having let go of Jinwoo's hand and go to a fallen building and climb up it. There you could see a standoff of Jinwoo and the beast in front of him.

[HELL'S GATEKEEPER CERBERUS]

In dark red letters, it was your first time see such a thing. Hell, it was your first time in a dungeon! It almost looked ridiculous with the massive size of the gatekeeper and Jinwoo with his dagger. Jinwoo makes the first move and jumps at the beast and strikes it under its arm, blood immediately gushes from the wound.
