Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

As the limousine came to a halt, the cityscape of Seoul gradually faded into the distance, giving way to the rugged terrain surrounding the entrance of the new dungeon. The towering stone archway loomed ahead, promising both danger and adventure.

They stepped out of the car, their excitement palpable. Alexander gestured towards the dungeon entrance with a grin. "Here we are! I think you're in for quite a challenge. You'll be accompanied by Alexa and Alex. They're more than capable and will make sure you're well-guided."

Jonathan chuckled, glancing over at Alexa and Alex. "Sounds like a plan. I appreciate the assistance. Just don't be too tough on me—I'm here for the adventure, not to be a hero."

Alex, with a playful smirk, replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Jonathan. We'll try not to get you killed too quickly."

Alexander, taking charge, added with a wink, "And while you're busy being guided through the dungeon, I'll take care of your children. Consider it my way of keeping them out of trouble."

Jonathan raised an eyebrow, amused. "Oh, you think you can handle them? I'll have to hear about your babysitting skills after this. Just don't let them turn the place upside down."

Alexander chuckled. "I promise I'll keep them entertained. And if they end up turning the place upside down, well, it'll be a good story for later."

Alexa joined in, laughing. "We'll make sure Mr. Jonathan's adventure goes smoothly. "

Jonathan gave a mock-serious nod. "Alright then. I'm ready for whatever you throw at me. And if Alexander's babysitting skills fail, I'll expect a full report when we're done."

As Jonathan, Alexa, and Alex approached the entrance of the new dungeon, they were met by a group of individuals stationed outside, their presence signaling readiness and anticipation for the adventure ahead.

Alexa began the introductions with a wave of her hand. "Everyone, I'd like you to meet Jonathan Hamilton. He's joining us for this exploration. Mr. Jonathan, this is the Vortex our Guild, who will be assisting us."

The members of the Vortex Guild offered respectful bows in greeting. "Welcome, Mr. Hamilton," they said in unison, their tones warm and welcoming.

Among them, a new face stepped forward, a man with an exuberant personality and a broad smile. He extended his hand towards Jonathan. "I'm Jae-hyun, sir. It's a real pleasure to meet you! Welcome to Korea."

Jonathan shook Jae-hyun's hand, his smile widening at the enthusiastic greeting. "Thank you, Jae-hyun. It's great to meet you as well."

Alexa, sensing Jae-hyun's over-familiarity, gently nudged him aside with a polite but firm gesture. "Jae-hyun, let's maintain a bit of distance, shall we?"

Jae-hyun took a step back with a sheepish grin, while Alexa shifted the conversation. "So, who will be our porter for this expedition?"

Jae-hyun, eager to show off his guild's resources, grabbed two individuals from the back of the group. With a broad smile, he introduced them. "This is Jin-hyu and Min-seok, My friends Mam, They're fantastic at what they do."

Jin-hyu offered a nod of acknowledgment. "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Hamilton."

Min-seok, a slightly nervous but friendly figure, added, "We're ready to assist in any way we can."

And other porter are introduced. Jonathan took in the introductions with a nod, clearly impressed. "Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing what this dungeon has in store for us."

With the introductions complete, the group began to move towards the dungeon entrance.

The group stepped through the heavy stone archway and into the shadowy interior of the dungeon. The dim light from their torches flickered across ancient walls, casting eerie shadows. As they advanced deeper into the dungeon, a notification from the system flashed briefly in their vision.

Jonathan glanced at the notification, curiosity evident in his expression. "'Abyss'—that's not a term I come across often. It's intriguing."

Alexa nodded, sharing his interest.

"I haven't seen it used in dungeon names before either

As the group moved deeper into the Glimmering Abyss, they came across a strange creature. It was a worm-like being, about the size of a domestic cat, with a white, segmented body that glowed faintly in the dim light. A holographic status appeared above it:

Name: Wyrm

Rank: E

Description:

A worm-like creature. Generally not aggressive unless provoked.

Behavior:

-Default State: Passive

- Combat State:Attacks when provoked

Jonathan and the others looked at the creature, noting its low rank and passive nature.

Alex spoke up, "Let's avoid it. We don't know what it can do if it gets aggressive."

But Jae-hyun, always eager for a challenge, unsheathed his sword and said, "Rank E? That's nothing to worry about! I'll take care of it!"

Before anyone could stop him, Jae-hyun charged at the wyrm and struck it with his sword. The wyrm hissed angrily and lunged at Jae-hyun, changing from passive to aggressive.

"Jae-hyun, wait!" Alexa called out, but it was too late.

The rest of the group quickly joined the fight to help. Although the wyrm was a low rank, its sudden aggression made it tricky to handle in the narrow space.

Jonathan, watching the fight unfold, encouraged the team from the sidelines. "Looks like Jae-hyun's diving in headfirst. Let's help him out and wrap this up fast!"

With teamwork and quick strikes, the group defeated the wyrm. It collapsed after a few more hits, and the fight was over.

Alex shook his head with a smile. "Next time, let's avoid unnecessary fights until we know more about what we're dealing with."

With the wyrm defeated, the team continued their exploration, As the team advanced further into the dungeon, they rounded a corner and found themselves in a vast, cavernous chamber. The room was bathed in a soft, shimmering light, emanating from numerous crystals embedded in the walls and floor.

Jae-hyun, still pumped from the previous fight, pointed excitedly. "Look at that!"

Jonathan's eyes widened as he took in the sight. Scattered throughout the chamber were clusters of large, brilliant crystals, their hues ranging from deep blues to bright purples. They glistened with an otherworldly glow.

"Wow! What are those?" some asked.

Alex examined the crystals closely. "They're Ebonite Crystals. I've heard about them, but seeing so many in one place is unprecedented."

Jonathan, clearly impressed, nodded in agreement. "These are incredibly rare. Finding this many is extraordinary. Ebonite Crystals are essential for crafting high-level potions and legendary items."

Jonathan added his excitement grew. "A small amount of these crystals can be used to create something legendary. We could be looking at a major breakthrough for our gear and enhancements."

The team carefully moved further into the chamber, their eyes scanning the Ebonite Crystals with a mix of wonder and excitement. The sheer number of Ebonite Crystals in the chamber was astonishing, and their potential for crafting and potion-making was immense.

Jonathan said, "We've really struck gold here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime find. With these, we can enhance our equipment to legendary levels and create powerful potions."
