Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith
The Dungeon

One day had already passed since Riko practiced forging at the academy. Now the skill point forging it has now reached 910. Countless how many punches Riko had inflicted on the bright green training crystal. Riko didn't even care about the other players who were entering the training room. Tera has been home since.

At the thousandth blow, Riko finally decided to stop. His sweat flooded the entire body to make his Liverpool jersey soaked. Riko looked at the wall clock. At 9:20 p.m. Without feeling he had trained until there was no one else in the training room.

“They should go home now. Laper is also me,” murmured to himself.

After packing her bag and drinking from the water bottle, Riko came out of the training room. The academy is dark. No more officers were seen passing by. Riko only met two guards who were surprised to see him come home that late. In fact the players were allowed to practice for twenty-four hours.

However, because there is no permanent manager of the place, so players usually do not like to practice too long. Riko was the only one that came home that night. Admittedly, Riko was indeed too excited that day. I can't wait for tomorrow morning.

The next morning Riko arrived at the Academy at seven o'clock. As promised yesterday, Tera had contacted Riko last night to register as a member of her dungeon cleaning team. Once he came to the academy, the man had even been seen waiting for Riko to hand over the important documents that would later be used to take his salary and his share of the results of mining Crystals.

“Training until what time is night?” tera asked while handing over a pink map to Riko.

“Jam slaughterhouse. Half ten, sir,” replied Riko as she read the documents at a glance.

“Heh, I told you not to call sir. I think I am very old. Bang aja's. Our age is not far away very,” protest Tera while clucking impatiently.

Riko just snorted a little while smiling knots. They're about seventeen, but Tera says it's not far. Riko wasn't even born when the man entered High School. Riko according to. Maybe that's Tera's way of making them more familiar.

“OK, Bang,” sahut Riko later.

“Sip. So how many skill points have you mined? It's over a hundred, right?” ask Tera again, trying to be sure.

“Safe, Bang. Not going to be a burden on the team,” said Riko tried to hide the fact that he had reached a high level in mining. Somehow he was too embarrassed to admit that he had worked hard just to become a reserve player aka the cleaning team.

“Yaudah, if so, because all the teams are complete, ten minutes later we leave using the portal in the academy. Alcanet Tech company is now developing a portal to move places. Like they have a high-level Sage or Mage player until they can make such great technology, Tera info” while patting Riko on the shoulder.

The young man just nodded in understanding. Tera then returned to the front of the other blacksmiths who became members of his team. In total there were twelve people including Riko on the team. With full authority Tera coordinated the team by giving a little briefing material before they left.

Once everything is ready, each Team personnel is given one large brown hammer similar to the hammer in the training room. The company provided the object to help mine the blacksmiths. They were led to a room on the ground floor. The room is shades of blue and is very spacious to resemble a low roof hall. A portal in the form of a round light that rotates clockwise is in the middle of the room. The portal was more or less as tall as an adult man with dark light – blend of dark purple and blue –.

A white-robed woman with silvery long hair stood by the side of the portal. Both eyes were covered with a cloth that was also white.

Tera greeted Rhea politely, then followed by all members of the team including Riko.

“If you guys are ready, please line up to enter through the portal one by one. You do not need to think about anything because I have set the purpose of this portal exactly,”, Rhea said again.

“Good, thank you, Rhea,” Tera said then became the first person to walk into the portal. The next second Tera's entire body had already vanished engulfed in that dark light that was slowly whirring.

One by one all the team members also entered the portal. Riko becomes the last person to pass through the portal. A strange sensation immediately attacked Riko's body as a dark light vortex surrounded her. It feels like it is sucked and rotated in such a way that it feels a little nauseous and dizzy. Luckily the sensation only lasted a few minutes because after Riko opened his eyes, he was now in a square with wet grass underneath.

There were not many people in that place except for a few civilian officers in light brown uniforms, as well as the black-clad Alcanet Tech company people. The cleaning team was then given a green-gray vest for them to use as a uniform. Riko wears the vest which turns out to be too big for her tall body.

Not far from where Riko was standing, a dimensional crack in empty air floated with a dark aura. Although it is called a crack or crack, but its size is not playful. The air was torn to pieces to produce a darkness of six meters high with a width of no more than two meters. It was the first time Riko saw the gap of the dungeon break. The players of the hunting team had to go inside there and wipe out all the monsters within a certain time limit before the gap opened perfectly. If it was too late, then all the monsters in the dungeon would be out in the real world.

Riko stared at the gap in amazement. His body was filled with spirit to the point of making him tremble with such enthusiasm. Too bad he can't go in there to exterminate monsters.

“Riko Sanjaya?” suddenly a scornful voice greeted him. The annoying voice that Riko had hated so much.

Riko turned his head and found him the most annoying young man in the whole world, standing before him.

“Rangga Sasmita,” growled Riko with hardened jaws for holding back emotions.

The young man who was swept by him snorted loudly and then laughed mockingly. “You're the cleaning team?” her tanyanya was accompanied by an annoying pattering laugh.

“Who, Ngga?” asked the other young man in uniform just like Rangga: a black red suit that looks very expensive.

“Temen college first. His style is pretentious, the year is only a low-level blacksmith,” taunted Rangga while screeching disgust.

Riko clenched both her hands furiously. I want to reply to Rangga's words. But he knew if he was provoked, then he would only harm himself. Rangga Sasmita is a former college friend. The young man once liked Sita, but the girl chose Riko as her boyfriend. Since then Rangga holds a grudge against Riko and always bothers him whenever there is a chance. For example today.

“Well, Good Luck Yes, Cupu. I'll go in first. Lo just clean up if it is already running,” said Rangga with a scornful expression that Riko hated so much.

Riko was still trying to hold back. He never expected to meet his arch-nemesis in this place, with such humiliating conditions. Why does it feel like the world is so unfair to Riko?
