Heidan took a deep breath and got up. They had conquered the dungeon and it was time to go back home.
.
"This had been an incredible experience. If any of you are interested in exploring the dungeon again. Please contact me, this is my number XXXXYYYYYYY. " Spoke John.
.
"Bro, you know the AMD is not working. Let's exchange our contacts when we get out of the dungeon." Said Takar.
With a determined stare at the portal, everyone started making their way to the portal.
.
The next moment Heidan was shrouded under a bright light. He felt himself splitting apart and soon himself standing at IG Park next to the entrance of the Portal. 'This was teleportation'
.
'that was one heck of a ride' Heidan thought so. 'the easy mode difficulty of the dungeon seemed manageable. I should be able to solo it. But the boss would be hard if I try to solo it on my own. I guess it's still early to be thinking of soloing these dungeons'.
.
Heidan soon saw a new message. ]]
.
[[ Inventory is now available. ]]
.
"Hey, someone made it out!" A shout was heard. A man in a military attire exclaimed when he saw the arrival of the team.
.
Soon, the team was approached by a group of military people. "Please come with us, we need your report." Said a man.
.
They escorted the team to the familiar booth were the volunteer registration had taken place earlier on.
.
On entering the booth there was a solemn atmosphere. The man name Tamey was still processing the registration; there were other individuals next to him.
.
As the team observed the familiar place they had been to earlier. "Welcome back, .. we're glad to see that all 10 of you have made it out alive." The Major Raj Vardhan spoke up. But he was surprised inward. There had been a total of 18 teams who had entered the dungeon. So far, there had been 7 teams who had somehow managed to conquer the dungeon but there was casualties among the team.
.
'All 10 of them actually made it out alive.',with a calm smile the Major continued "could you report us the status of your exploration."
.
The team soon reported what they had experienced and all their encounters within the dungeon.
.
The team were transparent with the traits of the monsters. Next, the team was enquired about their talents and skills as well. After recalling what Heidan had mentioned previously, the Team discreetly chose not to reveal this information save for a few individuals.
.
"The team has deemed the dungeon difficulty to be as moderate. We'll soon be sending in another batch of team."
.
The military planned on continuing the dungeon run and they had started recruitment for the exploration. Incentives would be provided to participant after signing a contract.
.
The contract stated, 50% of items procured by the dungeon had to be turned in to the military. In turn the military will reward monetary payments for such resources.
.
Heidan and those around him, signed up for the contract by slightly tweaking the terms. Heidan had signed a contract with the military for a week.
.Soon, after exchanging some of their previous gains from the dungeon, the team decided to explore the dungeon again and then call it a day.
.
At 1 am, the team had finally managed to complete their second run. After making an exchange for the resources with the military, each of them left for their home.
.
It had been an exhausting day for Heidan. When he left for his home he realised that he didn't had a place to stay in, the place were he used to stay in had been wrecked by the earthquake. Heidan had to look for a place of accomodation.
.
Fortunately after some searching he found temporary lodging in a hotel. Though it was expensive, after selling all his dungeon loots to the military, Heidan had earned an amount of 1,50,000 Rs. He had kept the Dolen Armor for himself.
.
[[ Dolen Armor

Defense: 15
.
Vitality: 20
.
Grade: Normal. ]]
.
While eating his meal he started checking the news and was stumped by what he saw. Through out the world, millions of people had been killed by monsters that broke out from the dungeon. But what truly shocked him was that everyone who were killed by the monster had revived or say resurrected from their death.
.
It was being reported that those who had been killed recieved some kind of penalty, which would last for 3 days. Some had recieved physical weakness debuff, some had recieved -40 % experience debuff and many more.
.
The news shook the humans. some sighed with relief, some started thinking of the implications behind this anomaly.
.
There was reports being made on multiple individuals who had been killed 2-4 times and yet they were revived by the system. The catch was that they had received some severe backlash. The cases being reported were comatose, paralysis and some were afflicted with permanent debuffs to their System.
.
" System, what happens if I die?" Heidan raised his question to the system.
.
[[ The host will recieve a penalty. ]]
.
"Can you clarify your words penalty?"
.
[[ The method of the Host's death will determine the penalty for the User ]]
.
Heidan was curious behind the phenomena of revival. "Anyway, so how do we remove the permanent debuffs attached to the system.?"
.
[[ Certain condition has to be fulfilled. ]]
.
Soon, Heidan felt exhaustion kicking in. He decided it was better to avoid unnecessary risks in the dungeon. After all, his Talent held tremendous potential.
.
With all kinds of thoughts in his mind Heidan finally fell asleep...
