Gacha Sovereign

The next morning, Alex immediately go to hunter guild. He didn't bother with having breakfast. After he reach Qi gathering stage. The natural heaven and earth energy became his nutrient so he never hungry.

He walked to the hunter guild. He also observing the town. Though this town have a small size. But inside the town was brimming with people. When he walk in the town, he actually forgot. He didn't know which way to the hunter guild.

He just following the dungeon direction. since the dungeon was the tallest tower in the town, he can easily find it.

He went near to dungeon. The dungeon entrance was crowded. Many people want to get inside the dungeon. Now he want to ask someone the way to hunter guild.

"Kya..!" someone fell in front of him.

The one who fell was a young girl, she look like in her twenties with short hair reaching her shoulder. She was wearing some kind uniform.

"Are you okay?" Alex help her up.

"Yes"

"My name is Alex"

"I'm Yuna. Thank you for helping me"

"No no, I'm just wanting to ask someone hunter guild direction" he scratched himself, he was embarrassed.

"Ah.. You want to go to hunter guild? That's great how about I lead you the way, I'm working as a receptionist in there"

"Then I need to bother you miss Yuna"

"Don't worry, It is my job after all" she then start walking "This way Mr. Alex"

Alex followed her. After a while they arrived at the guild. The building was huge. They went to inside, the inside was too spacious but still crowded by people.

"Mr. Alex, what do you want to do in hunter guild ?"

"I want to register here"

"Oh you are new. Let me get to my desk, I will help you with your register. This way please" she lead Alex to her counter.

Alex follow her. There are a few counter, each counter have around three receptionists. When he arrived at the counter, he look at Yuna's colleague. She have two colleague, the first is a woman, she looked like in her thirties, and the other was so young, seems like she have the same age with him.

"Ara.. Yuna, this is your boyfriend?" The older one teased her.

"No no, he want to register here. So I help him. Sis Tina" she anxiously said.

"fufufu... I'm just joking with you. You are really fun to tease."

"Hmph, Sis Tina. You always like this." She pouted and turned to Alex. "I will help you register. Can you lend me your status card for register."

Alex nod, he recalled when he was registered to Adventurer guild. The receptionist ask for his status card too. So he understood the process must be similar. So he give his card. But there is one miscalculation here.

When Yuna look at his status card.

Name : Alexander Sirius

Job : Sword Saint

Rank : 3

Level : 386

She dropped the card.

"Ah... I'm sorry. Please forgive me to drop your card Sir" she anxiously said.

Alex puzzled. Why she give this much reaction. Suddenly he remembered he forgot to change his job. The sword saint job still on display.

"I will immediately registered you, Sir Sword Saint" She immediately registered him.

The other two was curious. They was shocked, when Yuna said 'Sword Saint'. This is one of the highest level job in the world.

The young one was scared. The older one was sweating. "Sir, Yuna is still young. She make a mistake previously, I hope sir forgive her. If you want to punish someone, please punish me. After all I'm her senior".

Before Alex said something, Yuna already come back. "Sir Sword Saint. This is your card, Sir already registered as one of Hunter." Her hand was shacking. She also give a bronze badge.

Alex give them an awkward smile. "It's alright. I don't really mind. Just at ease with me and please keep this a secret"

"Ye...yes" they nodded their head anxiously.

The three was relieved, this young and already a sword saint. Usually people like this will become arrogant and petty. But this young man was magnanimous.

Alex didn't bothered by this. "is there anything I need to know as a hunter?"

"There are four ranked in hunter. Bronze rank Hunter, Silver rank hunter, gold rank hunter, and platinum rank hunter. Bronze rank hunter are a hunter who usually hunt rank 0 to rank 2 monster. For silver rank you need to hunt rank 3 or 4 monster, for gold rank hunter you need to hunt rank 5 or rank 6 monster. And as for platinum you need to hunt rank 7 or above monster. Even in the hunter guild they are rare."

"As for their privilege. When you want to sell monster core, a bronze rank hunter need to keep in line like that" she point at the nearby counter. "That is the counter for selling your monster core. While this counter was for registering new hunter. As for silver rank hunter, you will get special treatment."

This time, she pointed at the shorter line. She then explained "Most hunter was bronze rank hunter, so when you become silver rank hunter, you will get a line specialize for silver rank hunter. And as for gold rank hunter. You don't even need to line up. You can just approach any of us receptionist and said you want to sell monster core. They will immediately handle your business. Even us from registering counter will immediately help them sell their core if they come."

"and as for the last, for Platinum rank hunter, they treated like as a guest elder or special guest in this hunter guild"

"I understand. By the way what is this monster core?". Alex was intrigued by this monster core. Because he have read in alchemy manual, a few pill on them have monster core as ingredients. But when he kill monster either in Alisia Forest or Night Forest. they didn't have any so called core. This is also why he didn't give any recipe that have monster core as it ingredients to dean.

"Monster core is a kind of crystal that you got from monster in the dungeon. You can get them from inside of their body. The different of monster rank will give you a different crystal. To put it simply, the higher of the rank of that monster, the higher energy contained in the core."

"I see" He now understood. This monster core was the ingredients for a few recipes for his pill. In his pill recipe, it say beast core. But their characteristic is the same. So maybe just the name is different. "By the way, what is the use of this core?"

"We mostly use it as fuel for lamp in the street or any magic equipment"

He was too shocked. This monster core was very useful for Alchemist. If there are any alchemist know this. They will immediately sue them. well, in this world only he and his teacher is the alchemist though.

"Thank you"

"No no, this is just my job"

He left. He went to dungeon. Outside the dungeon was crowded.

"Need a party, vanguard with rank 1 power"

"Anyone need a porter?"

And many more.

Alex just go to the counter beside the dungeon entrance. Seeing Alex have a bronze badge and he is also young. He disdainfully said, "You can go in. You are a hunter so if you die inside. The hunter won't have any responsibilities for anything happen inside"

Alex didn't bothered with this. He already got used to it. many people look down on him, not only in this world but also in Earth. He got in.

The room was spacious. Around one kilometer length and one kilometer width there are around fifty people inside this room. He also look at few monster, the monster strength only have a rank 0. He continue to deeper floor.

Alex speed was fast. Even there are any monsters blocking him. They was immediately killed by him. After a few days. he manage to get to floor thirty five. Alex notice, from floor one to floor ten the monster only have rank 0, as for those in floor eleven to twenty is rank 1 monsters. Following this he need to reach floor forty or more.

What Alex surprised is when he killed a monster, the monster was absorbed and disappear, only leaving it's core. He recalled Alicia said, he can collect monster's part in the dungeon. Maybe the monster's part she said is this core, he thought.

And also there are seems floor without monster people call this safe zone. According to them, there are safe floor every ten floor starting from the fifth floor. And they treat this safe zone become a place to re-supply.

Alex now in the safe floor. He start to plan what he is going to do. He also notice, the deeper it is the fewer the people in it.

Before he killed a few monsters to get deeper. But now he need to kill a few ten monster to get past a floor. But he become a bit disappointed, when he notice that this monster have lower chance to drop gacha ticket. But he still can accept it. even though the chance is lower, the speed he get still faster than hunting on the surface. He manage to get 30 tickets after killing a few hundreds monster.

On the surface, he may get at least one hundred ticket from five hundreds monster. But he need more time to search for the monster. But in this dungeon he didn't need to search, because there are too many monster in the dungeon. As long as he can keep killing, the rate will become faster. He also want to raise his level. So he won't be underestimated, of course he can't power up because level.

He decided to make floor forty five his base. He will mainly kill in forties floor. If there are chance he will go to fifties floor.

He start to move again. In 36th floor to 39th floor. Alex kill monsters with average number a hundred each floor. This time is boss's floor, 40th floor.

This boss is a rank 4 turtle monster. Every floor boss is one ranking higher than the normal monster. The people said it's to make you used with their strength and prepared you to fight the same rank monster but with more number in higher floor.

This is the first time Alex fighting a turtle. The turtle didn't charge at him. He only guarding the stairs to go down. This turtle was so big, with ten meter wide and five meter height. He blocked the entrance to the stairs.

Alex tried to test the water. He throw his spear to it's head.

'break'

The spear head was broken when touching it's head. It didn't give any scratch. The turtle skin was too hard.

He do it again. Now with his flame sword wave.

'Flame sword wave'

He swing his sword vertically. A beautiful flame sword wave appear. If there are spectator in here, they will see this flame sword wave is beautiful. But in turtle eyes. This tyrannical sword wave might injure him. He pull out his head back to it's shell.

'boom' the flame sword wave landed on this monster.

"Did I manage to cut him?" Alex tried to see what happen inside the fog.

After the fog cleared away, the turtle shell was completely fine. There are not even scratch on it.

"It's really hard" Alex frowned. This is the first time Alex fight with a defensive type monster.

Seeing this didn't put any scratch on him, Alex decided to use his sword intent this time.

Alex close his distance with the turtle.

'roar', this turtle tried to attack Alex with his head. Alex jumped high. He jump toward top of it's shell.

'sword intent' he tried to use sword intent to damage it's shell, before no creature can't be cut with his sword intent. He thrust his sword.

'clang'

Alex sword break. Alex surprised, not only he didn't put any scratch, but also break his sword.

But he suddenly feel something move on his left. He turned his head, the turtle swing his tail to him. Alex immediately put out his guard.

Alex was blown away. though he didn't suffer any injuries, but the momentum make him crash to dungeon wall. But what even more shocking is the turtle manage to bend it's shell. Making a ball shape like form and roll to him.

He was shocked with this. He never meet any turtle in this world, even in earth. There are no turtle can bend it shell. If this was in earth, this turtle might become one of guinness record, as an elastic turtle.
