章節 21: Lost in another Dimension

At first floor, even though monsters at this floor are not that really strong even though the gravity was much stronger. Also, these monsters were not affected by the gravity at all.

He did not have much problem on dealing with the monsters from first floor to fourth floor.

As He descend, he was not having much problem on the monsters' strength. The only problem he had is, there are at least ten who attacked him.

"Should we go further, Boss?" Mino asked and broke the ice cold silent moment.

"I guess, we should go further but we will stop if either we are hungry or I'm having trouble to strengthen myself." answered Bell.

"Don't worry, Boss. I'll help you when you need me." Mino said in prideful tone, perhaps.

As they go further, Bell sometimes need help from Mino to take care of other monsters. They took a break as Bell was unable to move his body that much and his body was getting numb, so he need Mino to protect him while he rest inside the Yggdrasil, which is, much more dangerous than the original dungeon.

As he close his eyes to rest, he heard something and he knew it was the system yet he close his eyes. The first and last word Bell saw was, New.

"It might about the store, I guess?" he muttered these words and instantly fallen asleep as he relaxed his body and he unconsciously muttered, "yes...".

But, what really written was...

[ New system function:

• Dimension Travel ]

[ You have given the chance to visit other dimensions.This is just a test for the new function. If it's successful, you will be able to visit other dimensions once every month. One day in another dimension is half a day in DanMachi world. Do you want to travel to another dimension?

Y/N? ]

As the last message popped, it was the time when Bell unconsciously said THAT. I mean, that... You already know, right?

***

There was a young man walking in the forest... He was wearing all black outfit and has a black sword on his back. Suddenly, he was attacked by a group of monsters. However, he doesn't seem to be hurt as his life gauge above his head, there was a thin red line blinking rapidly blinking.

After finishing all monsters, he saw a young man that seemed to be unconscious. He poke the young man and it began to wake up slowly.

***

Bell opened his eyes, only to see a man in black with a black sword. He was shocked to see someone, especially a human, to live in a dungeon. However, he wasn't in any dungeon.

"Wait! Who are you?" Bell asked

"That's my line! Who are YOU?" asked the young man.

"My name is Bell Cranel. Nice to meet you!" Bell introduce himself as he now know and just remembered who he was talking to.

"I'm Kirito. Nice to meet you." Kirito shook hands with Bell.

"Wait, did you just say your real name?" he suddenly asked out of the blue.

"Yes, why?" he paused a little bit and added, "Is there any problem?"

"No, not really." he looked confused, "Your name doesn't seem to be common as we speak the same language."

"Oh, well. How about you call me, Kane." he just said without thinking much.

"Kane...? Good name." he said in his thought, and finally say something, "It's not safe here, let's go back to floor 50."

Bell only nodded and followed Kirito as they trek their way to floor 50. Bell could sense there are many monsters in this floor as their ki ¹wavelength somehow similar to monsters he know but different in ²frequency.

"Okay." Bell wants to test if monsters in here has the same behavior.

On their way back, Kirito doesn't seem to be shocked. Of course, there's no need to be shocked as this world was about fighting monsters. Bell found out that, the monsters' behavior were different from DanMachi Universe.

Bell also found out that, every time he kill monsters on their way, he doesn't gain any points in his status nor did he get to level up. He only get to see his strength.

--------------------------------------------------

At the floor 50, so many people even though there were only over tens of thousands of them trapped. Unlike in Orario, it was at least millions of people, very crowded when there are festivals and other events.

Then he realized that it was almost the start of the Sword Art Online Canon.

When they walked at a shop, a general shop to be precise. A bald man sitting right at the counter waiting for customers.

The man quickly stood up as he saw Kirito, who he knew.

"Hey, I found someone on my way. His name was Kane." Kirito instantly introduced Bell when he stood up.

"This little guy here seems pretty strong," he said and turned his head towards Bell, "am I, right?"

"Wow, he can even tell that I'm that strong." Bell thought.

"Kane, this is Agil. The shop's name introduces him, anyway." Kirito said it by being direct.

"Hi, I'm Kane. Nice to meet you." Bell greeted him with a smile while they shook their hands.

After that, Bell asked Agil to craft him a spear using some of the magic crystal he had. He thought, they can be used for weapon and so he asked Agil.

He wanted him to create a spear for him, so that he could see how he craft, and how he done his job well. The process has started. First, they smelted the magic crystals but it seems like the crystals are pretty resistant against fire, so they went out to stroll the place.

Kirito gave him information all he could ask about, and he gave up on some questions, too. He also found out that, he have the same system that shows his stats to him and other people, as well as the log out button.

Bell tried to use it and initiated a duel with Kirito. Kirito didn't accept the battle yet, he gave Bell a sword as he don't have one.

Before fully accepting the battle, they go in a place with a wide space to fight. Then, the battle has started. Countdown started from 10 to zero.
