Plundering in the Apocalypse-Chapter 63 Entering The Dungeon!!
The Next morning both Shin and Alice were ready for their first Dungeon raid. Alice was in black from top to bottom. She wore a skirt, ankle-length shoes, stockings, a top, and a leather jacket. She looked super hot.
Seeing Shin's gaze on her she laughed inwardly.
'Fufufu~ so how is it? Did you finally fall for my charms?'
Shin smiled seeing her like that.
'She prepared very well. Guess we are ready for the raid.' He was also attracted to her. But he controlled his emotions.
Last night Shin tried circulating his Mana while sleeping and it worked out. He managed to increase his Mana by 1.
This morning he learned a new skill.
<strong>[You have learned a new skill 'Mana Absorption(E).]</strong>
<strong>***</strong>
<strong>[Mana Absorption(E) - The user can absorb and refine mana from the surroundings. The user can also purify the mana inside their body.]</strong>

"Are you sure you will be alright?" Snapping him out of his thoughts he heard Reina's worried voice.
"Yeah, Mom we will be fine. You know we are not that weak." Shin replied trying to comfort her.
"I know but. Haah. Just take care. Be cautious about your surroundings. Don't be overconfident." Reina warned them.
"Okay, Mom, our ride is here we will go now," Shin said as he noticed the taxi he booked coming towards them.
Reina nodded.
Inside the Taxi Shin and Alice, we're sitting together in the back seat. Seeing the awkward atmosphere between them even the driver felt nervous.
A few days after the cursed day. Transportations were finally working now. With many people and organizations' joint efforts they were able to clean most of the bodies.
The dangerous areas which are not cleared are still restricted entries.
Soon the Canopy Bridge came into their sight. A beautiful landmark that was popular among couples. It's still popular now but for a different reason.
The Dungeon, Which is near this bridge also known as Canopy Dungeon.
Soon the driver stopped the taxi.
"This is as far I can go. Please understand." The driver said to Shin.
Shin also understood the driver's feelings. After all, everyone knows how terrifying these monsters are. Naturally, he is worried.
He didn't argue with the driver. Alice also followed after Shin and the driver left in a hurry.
Seeing the driver speeding up. Shin had a wry smile on his face.
'Now he is driving twice as fast than when he rode us here.'
Shin shook his head as his attention turned towards the direction where that dungeon spawned.
After walking for some time they were greeted by a huge blue door. Which gave off a subtle feeling. In front of that huge door. Dozens of people were standing there. They were forming teams probably.
Seeing Shin and Alice's approaching figure. Many of their attention turned to them. After all, a beauty and a handsome man walking together would naturally attract attention.
Alice didn't like their gazes so she glared at them with killing intent. But some fools still dared to approach her.
"Hey there, would you want to party with us? We will protect you."
"Just forget him. I am stronger than them. Follow me."
"No, come with me. You will surely have a great time with us."
"We will help you level up fast. I am a D rank you know." ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂
Someone scoffed.
"So what I am also D rank. We have two D ranks in our team."
Soon an argument started. It caused a commotion.
"SILENCE." A loud sound echoed.
A handsome young man came forward with a smile on his face.
Everyone made way for him with terrified expressions on their faces.
Seeing him approaching Alice. Everyone sighed.
"Hi, I am Steven Mark. The sole heir of the Mark corporation. I am a B Rank awakened. Our team is going to raid this dungeon. I would surely love to have the company of such a beauty like you." He said with a charming smile for which most of the women would agree.
"Fuck off," Alice said casually and continued following after Shin. She didn't even glance back.
"Excuse me?" Steven didn't understand what had transpired for a second. Did he just get rejected? Nah, that's not possible. He is THE Steven Mark. Who would dare to oppose him?
He followed after Alice once again and tried to block her way.
"Girl, are you mistaking something here? I am Steven Mark. Didn't you hear me?"
Alice didn't give a fuck who this man was. But he was coming in her way. Why was he disturbing her beautiful time with Shin?
"Shin," Alice said in a soft voice.
Hearing Alice's voice Shin felt he should interfere now. He also doesn't want things to go out of hand.
Steven glanced at Shin and was shocked by his handsome face. Shin was even more handsome than him. But seeing Shin's attire and just a shabby sword sticking to his waist. Steven understood. This man is just a handsome man without much of a background.
"You. Are you accompanying her? I don't believe you can protect her. Not that you deserve to be with her. She will come with me. If you don't want to die just get going and leave her. She will be better off in my care."
Hearing Steven's words Alice was enraged.
'What did this miser say?'
'He wants to separate Shin from me?'
'Does he have a death wish?'
Alice marked him as a potential target. Before she could react Shin just grabbed her hand and started walking away.
He ignored Steven's words. Not because he was afraid or anything. It just felt like a waste of time. He would instead go fight monsters than argue with these brainless fools.
Everyone was shocked and speechless by this turn of events. Who would have expected Steven Mark to get rejected and shamed in front of everyone? Just who were those people?
Steven couldn't react to Shin's actions and gritted his teeth in anger. By the time he reacted he noticed Shin and Alice already touched the dungeon door and vanished.
'Those bastards. How dare they make a fool out of me? I'll see how they can leave this place unharmed. I'll make them beg for mercy from me. That woman how dare she rejects me.'
He snapped his fingers. A man in a black suit appeared behind him.
"Yes, sir."
"Get the information on those two."
"Will do sir." He vanished from his spot after a second.
"I'll show you what happens when someone acts haughtily in front of me. The Steven Mark." His eyes had a dangerous glint on them.
***
Inside the dungeon. Shin and Alice's figures appeared. Behind them was the gate from which they entered.
As other people were busy discussing and forming teams. The entrance to the dungeon was empty and they were able to easily get in.
It was a forest with large trees surrounding them.
<strong>[You have entered a Dungeon]</strong>
<strong>[Level 1 Dungeon]</strong>
<strong>[Recommened Party Level 10+]</strong>
"Now let's get moving," Shin said as they started moving.
Shin activated his Predator's eyes skill. He soon took note of all the figures he was able to see. He saw some blue outlines. Which were other awakeneds. Whom he decided to avoid for obvious reasons.
After walking for a few minutes. There heard a rustling sound from somewhere.
A moment later a creature appeared in front of them. It looked like a monkey but had shells around its body. He also had sharp claws in his both hands.
Shin activated his Appraisal.
<strong>[Shell Monkey (Normal)]</strong>
<strong>[Skills - Metal Claw(F), Shell Armor(F).]</strong>
<strong>[Nature - Aggressive]</strong>
"It looks more like a Mole than a monkey," Alice said after hearing Shin's explanation of this monster.
Shin shook his head and said.
"Let me try first."
"Sure."
Shin smiled and activated his new abilities.
'I've been itching to try them. Now I can use them freely.'
Shin smirked and used Arcane Web. Webs made of mana shot out from his hands and tied the monster. That Shell Monkey was surprised. He tried to struggle but was unable to get freed from those webs.
'Now the next step.' Shin activated his Gravity Control ability and the monster started floating. Like it became weightless.
Shin pulled that web and swung him around and slammed that monster on the ground while forcefully increasing the force by gravity control and increasing his weight at the decisive moment. The monsters slammed on the ground with 10 times more pressure than the original slam.
His body burst out. Not even his shell was enough to protect it from that power.
Shin was dumbstruck. 'What kind of power was that?'
'Didn't they say in the forum that this monster's shell is very hard and has good endurance?'
His gaze fell on that bloody mess.
'So how did it just burst out?'
<strong>[You have killed a Shell Monkey]</strong>
<strong>[You have gained experience]</strong>
<strong>[Plunder activated]</strong>
<strong>[You have absorbed a new skill Metal Claw(F).]</strong>
<strong>[You have absorbed a new skill Shell Armour(F).]</strong>
"Wow, Shin you were so cool," Alice said with a cheerful smile.
Shin felt embarrassed but nodded his head with a smile.
"But don't you want to collect his claws and shell? Are we just going to destroy them?"
"Eh? What do you mean?" Shin asked not understanding her words.
"Don't you know there are some people who are paying money to buy monster parts? Isn't that a waste? When we can get some good money out of it." Alice said casually while reminding him how wasteful it is to not collect them.
