Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master



Alex turned around to see who's tapping him and saw Kris with a smile on her face.

Surprised, he said, "Oh, Kris, why are you here?"

Alex didn't expect that Kris would come back immediately since she was in a celebration last night.

He thought that she would stay there for a day or two more before going back to Earth.

Unexpectedly, she's already back which surprised Alex a little.

Putting some lost hair strands behind her ear, Kris said, "I went back home immediately after the feast last night."

"As a model student, I shouldn't miss school just because I was busy celebrating, right?"

Hearing her reply, Alex didn't know whether he'll believe her words or not.

"Well, sure…"

Fortunately, the voice of the vendor sounded at this time, saving Alex.

"Your hotcakes are ready, sir. That'll be ₱15 in total."

Alex took the plastic containing hotcakes from the vendor and handed ₱15 pesos in return.

"Thank you."

Alex said before walking away while eating a hotcake.

Behind him, Kris followed him without saying a word.

Curiously, Alex looked at her and asked, "Aren't you going to buy hotcakes?"

Kris shook her head with an innocent face.

Alex raised an eyebrow and said, "Then why were you there at the hotcake stall?"

"I only went there because I saw you there. Why, is there a problem with that?"

Alez stared at her before sighing and shaking his head helplessly.

"Whatever. Anyway, let's go to school now."

"Oum!" Kris nodded.

Then while walking, she can't help but glance at the hotcake on Alex's hands.

Inevitably, Alex took notice of that and sighed.

"Here, eat it slowly, it's still hot."

Alex handed her one of the hotcakes in his hand.

Kris didn't decline and received the hotcake happily.

And so, the two proceed to walk to school while stuffing hotcakes on their faces.

…

Soon, Alex and Kris arrived at the school.

It's still a little early right now so they didn't immediately head to the class.

After finding some place to sit, the two started chatting.

"So, how was the feast last night?"

Asked Alex while biting on his hotcakes.

Kris thought about it and replied, "It was actually good. All the food was great. The other elves are also pretty fun people to hang out with."

"Overall, I had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, you weren't there. It would be more fun if you didn't go home immediately."

Hearing her lament, Alex sighed, "Don't even think about it."

"Last night, when I got home, I was only going to rest a while on the sofa before washing up and heading to bed but, in the end I fell directly when I sat down."

"I was just so tired last night that my body went to rest mode by itself when I relaxed a little."

Alex shook his head while sighing.

Hearing his words, Kris suddenly felt apologetic to Alex.

"That, I'm sorry, Alex. Even though I'm the one who invited you and asked a lot of favors yesterday, in the end you went home on your own still feeling so tired."

"Aish, I already told you. Don't mind it, so stop talking about it." Alex said.

Then he stood up and said, "It's about time for the class to start, let's head to class, I don't want to be late."

Kris nodded and stood up.

Then the two of them went to class unhurriedly.

When the two arrived at the classroom, their class adviser, Miss Gonzales, was already standing at the podium.

"Oh, Alex, you finally came to class. Tell me, what's your reason for not attending school for a whole week?"

When her eyes landed on Alex, Miss Gonzales immediately asked him.

Alex looked at Miss Gonzales and walked closer to her.

"Teacher, I'm sorry. A lot of things happened last week and I had to put all my time onto it."

Hearing that, Miss Gonzales frowned, "If you're having a problem, you can talk to me about it. I am your adviser, after all."

Alex remained silent at her words.

In the end, Miss Gonzales can only sighe and give up.

This wasn't the first time that she talked to Alex about consulting her with his problems.

In the past, when Alex didn't attend school for almost a month, she even came to his house to talk to him.

But Alex didn't talk about his problems until it was time for her to leave.

That's why she already expected this reaction from him.

Sighing, Miss Gonzales said, "Well, just don't let your studies down, okay? You can head to your seat now."

"Thank you, teacher."

Alex turned around and went to his seat at the back of the class.

Kris already sat ahead of him and so, Alex saw her already sitting with a book in her hand.

Seeing Alex, Kris looked at him and said, "What did the teacher say this time?"

Alex sat down and shook his head.

"It's nothing, just the usual since I wasn't here for the whole last week."

Kris nodded in understanding.

Then they became silent and focused on doing their own things.

Since the class hasn't started yet, the students are still allowed to do what they want to do.

That's why you can see that some are reading books, scrolling through social media, playing games, or just plain chatting.

While everyone was busy with their own things, someone on their phone suddenly loudly exclaimed.

"Ah! A monster!"

Her words attracted a lot of eyes and more than half of the students as well as Miss Gonzales looked at her.

With a frown, Miss Gonzales said, "Stephanie, even though you're allowed to do your things in your free time, please try to stay quiet if possible, okay?"

Hearing the teacher's words, Stephanie felt embarrassed for a moment.

But when she thought about what she saw from her family's group chat, her embarrassment disappeared.

"I'm sorry, Miss Gonzales. But look at this video. There was a monster at the amusement park yesterday!"

Seeing that everyone is looking at her, she showed the screen of her phone where a video is still playing.

When Alex saw it, his face changed.
