As Hisashi looked at the screen, dazed at the situation,he quickly snapped out of his blank gaze before slamming his reptilian head. Hisashi had completely forgotten about the System that he had asked for! Before he chose the 'Yes' option, he quickly looked at his own stats.

  For some reason he felt that the status screen was... Empty? Yes! He was missing some stats such as Vitality, Magic, Wisdom and maybe Charisma? Hisashi doesn't really know why or how Charisma would fit but perhaps it would allow him to lead an army better, higher loyalty etc. But that didn't really matter right now, how does one get such stats?

  As if to answer Hisashi's thoughts, a blue screen appeared before him to explain.

  "Ahhhh shit.." said Hisashi sighing, he knew what these 'merit points' were. According to the book he had read to earn merit points one has to accomplish military deeds such as winning battles, conquering dungeons, gaining control over resources etc. Merit points had many uses such as buying resource nodes, building upgrades and also buildings in general. But now he has to save up merit points so he could become strong enough to lead his army but....

  "Haa~..." with a sigh Hisashi shook his head, thinking ahead is good but right now he needs to only think about the present. But as he looked at the glimmering temple city in front of him, he decided that he would build his army within the city. So he opened the blue screen he had gotten first.

  With his sharp claw he pressed the Yes option, but all that did was pass through the blue screen. Slightly embarrassed, he said "Yes". On cue, the ancient city started to rumble and from the depths of the city a deep dark smoke seeped out. As the rumbling finished and the dark smoke covered the city another blue screen appeared.

  As the System announced the messages Hisashi started to panic, even the city that he had found was an enemy! Panicking he asked the System in a desperate manner,

  "System! Stop this!"

  "AGHHHHHHHH!!" With a scream he grabbed his smooth scaly head in panic, "SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!". Such an unfortunate situation, in Hisashi's mind this was done by the Soul System he had met, they were sadists! As his mind went into full work, trying to find a solution, his eyes opened wide and there seemed to be a light bulb appear above his head as he said as if he had found some ground breaking,

  "There is no solution!" trying to stay positive he tried to smile, but that smile crumbled in a second as he screamed once more "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!"

  "OH SHIT!" Hisashi screamed, while he was thinking time was ticking! As he flailed his arms in panic he asked the System,

  "System what is a Dungeon Delve!?"

  "Oh... Shit.." said Hisashi seeing the restrictions and "advantages" gotten. This option was most likely for experienced challengers, not for greenhorns like him.

  "No no no no no no!" Hiashi screamed, his eyes filled to the brim with tears.

  "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" With a final wail of despair, the gates of the temple city flung open, tendrils of black smoke shot out of the city gates, wrapping their smoky bodies around Hisashi a they pulled him into the depths of the temple city shrouded in dark smoke.
