Reborn as God: The strongest system

Chapter 53: Midnight snack



After finishing that he gazed at the gate leading to the third floor, which was also the last.

Going through all of that had been a very tiring experience, but he was determined to clear the dungeon today.

As for his exhaustion? He had a few stamina potions to use in this kind of situation.

But of course, he still had to retrieve his backpack from outside of the pyramid and return back to the real world to bring in some water and food.

The fist-sized slime turned into a ring, and this one was silver. It was a very convenient item.

When he first entered the dungeon, it was at Sunset and he didn't have any food then. So, despite spending so much time in the dungeon, there was still some time before dawn.

Hopefully, he could clear the dungeon tonight if not, at least he could explore most of it and pinpoint the boss room.

So he first went back outside of the pyramid, naturally, he took much less time. Only about 20 minutes thanks to his enhanced speed and greater knowledge of the structure of the pyramid.

His backpack had his precious potions and a magic item that he was unable to use before, the [Rangers badge].

This item could shoot ten arrows at his designated target. If he was a ranger, then he could imbue the arrows with several effects, but since he wasn't, he would have to settle for it. The elemental enhancement.

Actually, he did not even know what Rangers were, since the original host had no idea. From the looks of it, it should be a completely different class than Vigor knights and mages.

But this world did not have any other classes, and such a magic item seemed out of place.

When his thoughts reached here, he felt a strange, ominous, and tingling feeling. it was as if something was scratching at the inside of his own head.

A moment later the feeling vanished, confusing Esdras slightly.

Now with his things secured safely, he decided to take a look at the third floor first before leaving to get supplies and take a break.

He just wanted to take a look and not really do anything else. It was more of a response to curiosity as to what the last and final floor of this dungeon was going to be like.

Pushing open the gate easily, as usual, he found himself staring at a very thin and long bridge made of unknown materials. There were several statues of important-looking people on both sides of the bridge.

At the end of the bridge, there was a domed building. And that was it there was nothing else but darkness.

Mastering his courage, he peered over the side of the bridge and he still couldn't see anything. It was a strange kind of darkness. It was not as if the lights went out, but it was as if the light never existed.

Moreover, he knew that there were no tricks or traps and that the domed building at the end of the bridge was the boss room on the third and final floor.

He did not know what to think about this, perhaps it was good that his task was about to be finished. Another thing that got his attention was the fact that this was part of the pyramid.

He expected to be teleported to a different environment, but that was not the case this time.

With mixed feelings, he crossed over through the purple vortex by the gate and returned to the real world to his tent.

He got out of the tent and drank some water, and filled his belly with grilled wild boar. One good thing about this forest was that it was rich in meat, so they would never run out of good food.

And seeing that everyone was asleep, he sneakily took out one bottle of water along with jerky, cheese, and bread.

This amount of food and water was overkill but hey, his habit of overthinking didn't just go away after coming to a new world.

While taking a break under the light of the full moon he suddenly noticed something unusual.

After achieving the Vigor core realm all of his senses, including his sixth sense were amplified and enhanced so he was able to hear the steady breathing of the 10 soldiers who were sharing a tent.

Yet he could not hear any breathing from Tara's tent at all. Not slow, not fast nor steady, nothing.

The reason he didn't notice it immediately was that he was not yet used to his new self. But after staying outside for a while, he was able to pick on that unusual pattern.

With furrowed eyebrows, he opened the tent flap, and as expected, she was gone. She had picked the perfect timing.

Although she may not know what he was doing in the tent, she must have noticed that he would be busy or unavailable during these times.

However, he could not help but feel that something was wrong. This was an incredibly stupid move. Just like Bran, he was going to brand her a deserter.

After that, where could she hide?

Abruptly, the sound of a twig breaking alerted him to someone approaching the camp. He got out to take a look.

Unexpectedly, the visitor was a not-very-familiar face, it was Reid. He was the leader of the group of apprentices that wanted to escape the tower. they had invited him, but he had refused to join them.

He had expected them to leave a long time ago, and the best chance was when the fort was in chaos when a True mage was injured.

"Esdras? You're awake? I thought you would be asleep at this time." he said, looking stiff.

"Yeah, I was looking for a midnight snack. What about you? I thought you would have escaped already." Esdras smiled politely.

"Oh?… I just wanted to come here and apologize for what happened last time. We decided that running was not going to work as you said. So, I wanted to invite you for a drink to make up for it, why not come to our camp? The other guys also want to apologize."

"Oh?"
