I''ve leveled up several times due to the number of enemies I''ve fought, and I''m guessing that I''m getting closer to the end of the dungeon, but I can''t bepletely sure about that. There is a slight problem that I''m encountering as I get deeper into the dungeon. The ground is bing slippery due to ice on the floor. Making fights harder.
The upside to this is the monsters are having a hard time moving around too. They''ve stoppeding at me in droves so far, and that''s probably because I''m close to the end. "I wish there was a way for me to tell how much further I have to go." That would be an incredibly useful spell or feature provided by the system. But that would be spoon-feeding yers.
[A long-dead power senses the arrival of the yer bearing Winters Wrath. Saliandra Orvello, First Princess of The Elven Kingdom, and Heir to the throne. The lover andpanion of Cera Adamo, The Son of Arch-Angel Michael. It''s been a long time waiting for you, but what you seek will not be so easily grabbed. Prepare to fight for your life.]
The message pops up in front of me, and I stop in my tracks to read it repeatedly. "This is eerie... That''s a lot of known information... I shouldn''t be surprised... The people in charge of dungeon and yers would know who I am..." Cera would be asking a bunch of questions and trying to figure out what all this means, going deeper in meaning than I ever would.
I can''t say with perfect uracy that they know everything about me, but this is a sign they know a lot. "I''m assuming that whoever or whatever sent this can hear me! I''m not intimidated in the slightest, and I''m getting my tier-up finished today!" I call out deeper into the dungeon, and there is no response, but I feel like my message got across.
With a deep breath, I start moving forward again, and after 15 minutes of walking and fighting, I make it to arge set of doors. The aura I get from what''s behind this door disturbs me, but I''m not scared. I''ll never be scared again. As my hand reaches up towards the door, goosebumps spread across my body. My hand rests on the door, and I open it. A message appears too.
[Saliadra Orvello has awoken The Avatar of Frost!]
[Warning: The Avatar of Frost exceeds your level!]
[Warning: All Ice, Cold, or Frost-based attacks won''t work against The Avatar of Frost!]
My heart is at a calm pace as my body is on edge and ready for battle. Torches all around the room light up, and a crystalline creature in the center of the room lifts its head and looks at me. It has the head and neck of a dragon, but its body is that of a lizard, and itcks wings. It''s not made of any flesh and blood. Only ice and magic. It gives off a bad vibe.
The creature''s eyes glow blue as they bore into me, and it fully stands up. A cold fog starts to leak from its body and spreads around the room. The floors are covered, and if not for my ss, my feet would be frozen to the ground. It squints its eyes as it realizes that whatever this is doesn''t affect me. Since we''re both immune to Ice, Cold, and Frost-based attacks, this fight will be hard.
My eyes sharpen, and my vision bes clearer. I create 3 Ice Dummies, and I order them to attack. The Avatar of Frost retaliates instantly and uses its long tail to crush my minions. It rears its head back a secondter and unleashes a breath of frost at me. My instincts tell me to dodge, so I do. Doing so has put me fully into the massive dome-shaped room.

~~~(Time: 2:25 PM)~~~
People have beening up to me for the past hour, asking me for help or to add me as their friend. I''m tempted to just use my wings and get the hell out of here. The Raid Deep Crystal Crypt is my next destination. I''ve already got a marker heading where I need to go since I know where it is due to my past life. The reason I haven''t left yet is simple.
I''m not wanting to take on a Raid right now. After all the searching for my quest and helping my family. I want at least a day before I go anywhere. Traveling there doesn''t count as a break, which is why I''m heading to the local hot springs. I''ve never been to one before, and I hope it''s as good as they say it is. Many people are following me, which causes a problem.
While having them follow me to the hot springs will do wonders for the business of the owner, I''m not having this interrupted. My golden wings spread out, and the people around look on in wonder and fascination. In a simple p, I''munched off the ground, and I zoom into the sky. I reach a level I''m no longer visible, and I head toward the hot springs.
It''s not located in town, but on a mountain, that''s close to town. As I see it, Ie down for a gentlending, and I see that I''m the only one here at the moment. My wings disappear into my back, and I approach the door. It easily slides open, and it has a deep resemnce to the Japanese bathhouses and hot springs that used to exist on earth 100 years ago.
My eyesnd one on the old man and woman at the front counter, and the best way to describe them is a happy couple that''s lived out the life they''ve wanted. "My, it''s been a few days since ourst customer. Please,e forward." The woman is the one to call me, and I walk up to the counter. The old man closes the book he''s reading and takes off his sses.
He gets a good look at me, and he lets out a small whistle. "Well, son... You must be pretty popr with the girls. If I had a face like that before I met my wife, I wouldn''t have settled down." A small chuckle escapes my lips as the woman gives him a nasty re, and he looks away. "It''s 5 gold for 2 hours. If you want to go longer, it''s 2 gold per hour. We also have rooms to stay in." A perfect fit.<sub> </sub>
My hands dive into my Inventory, and I get the necessary amount. "I''ll be taking the hot spring for 3 hours, and I want a single room." They take my gold with smiles, and I''m led toward my room first. The door slides up, and it''s a traditional Japanese tatami room. They leave me alone, and I head straight toward the back door of my room. It''s an entrance into a private hot spring.

[You''ve leveled up 6 times!]
[The item for reaching tier-2 has dropped!]
My breathing is heavy as my arms and legs feel numb from wearing them out in this fight. I''m almostpletely out of mana. The messages keep going, but I ignore them. I fall right on my ass, and I take a deep breath. "At least I can take a break now..." After all of this crap, I can say I''m done with this quest. Now I can see what Cera sent me...
