Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master



Alex looked at Kris' surprised reaction and smiled.

[Zero: What? Are you surprised that I managed to catch up to your Tier?]

After saying that, Alex can't help but let out a chuckle.

A few seconds later, Kris' reply came.

[Kris: Of course, I'm surprised!]

[Kris: Think about it. It's been like what? A month since you started going to Alter Dimension?]

Shrugging, Alex said,

[Zero: It can't be helped, right? I'm just different.]

Kris looked at Alex's words and was speechless.

After a while, she woke up from her daze and shook her head.

[Kris: Whatever, Alex. Anyway, congratulations on your advancement!]

[Kris: Tell me when you have time so we can celebrate. I will treat you to whatever you want.]

[Zero: Alright. Let's talk again later, something just came up here.]

After sending his last message, Alex raised his head and looked at the group of monsters up ahead of them.

It was a group of hobgoblins with reddish skin.

There are 5 of them and it seems like they are all 2-Star monsters.

Opening his mouth, Alex said, "Hmm, Blaze, can you deal with those on your own?"

Blaze snarled and took a step forward.

Once he did, the hobgoblins' attention immediately gathered to him.

"Grarr!"

"Grrgr!"

They roared and snarled at Blaze, feeling that he is much stronger than them.

As mere hobgoblins, they are only leader-class monsters.

So, Blaze, a Boss-class monster, gives them a feeling of coercion.

The next moment, Blaze conjured balls of flames in the air and it flew towards the hobgoblins.

Boom!

It only took 1 ball of fire for Blaze to take down those five 2-Stars monsters.

It wasn't surprising.

Not only is Blaze a Boss-class monster, he's also a 3-Star one!

After getting rid of those hobgoblins, Blaze walked back to the group with an indifferent look in his face.

Alex patted Blaze and said, "Good job."

After saying that, Alex walked towards the burnt corpse of the hobgoblins and used [Sacrificed] on it.

[You 'Sacrificed' 2-Star Hobgoblins *5, +100 attribute points.]

After doing that, Alex and the group continued on their journey.

…

A few hours later, the sun has already gone down and Alex has set up camp just on the side of the road.

A campfire, a tent, soft blankets, and warm delicious foods, they have almost everything they need here.

Sitting in wooden logs around the campfire, holding a bowl of soup, Alex said, "What are you still waiting for? Let's dig in!"

On his words, Angelica's three little brothers, Jojo, Joel, and Joey, started eating their foods.

As the eldest sister, Angelica watched happily as her three brothers eat with relish.

Turning his eyes to Alex, who's also already eating, Angelica said, "Brother Zero, once again, thank you very much for taking us with you."

Bowing her head deeply, Angelica really wants her heartfelt gratitude to be felt by Alex.

Alex raised his eyes and waved his hands.

"Aish, don't mind it. You should also start eating before the food goes cold."

Angelica stared at Alex a few minutes before nodding and starting eating her food.

The camp fell into silence with only the sound of everyone eating, including Ferri and Blaze, could be heard.

After a while, everyone finished their food.

"Ahh~ that was a good meal!"

Alex said, letting out a sigh of enjoyment.

"Yes, it was really good!" Said Angelica.

In response, her three brothers also echoed after her.

"Yes, sister, this is the first time I ate such delicious food!"

"Yes, I want to eat this again tomorrow, sister!"

"It tastes good, but I'm already happy as long as we can eat food everyday!"

The one that said the last words was the youngest of them all, Joey, a 5 years old kid.

When he said that, Alex and Angelica couldn't help but turn their eyes to him.

Sighing, Alex approached Joey and sat down beside him.

Joey looked curiously at Alex with his head tilted.

Suddenly, Alex placed his hand on Joey's head gently and said, "Don't worry, kid. Now that I'm taking you all with me, you won't ever have to worry about having a good meal everyday."

Hearing his words of assurance, Joey's eyes lit up as they stared at Alex.

"Really?! That's great!"

Joey joyfully stood up and started jumping around.

Alex just watched all of that with a warm smile on his face.

On the side, Angelica covered her mouth with her hand, trying not to make a sound as teardrops fell down on her face.

Once again, the gratitude that she feels for Alex, increased.

After a warm and fuzzy dinner, Alex let the kids enter the tent.

Fortunately, Alex kept a spare tent in his inventory so he and the kids have separate tents.

Inside his tent, Alex watched the fire burn at the bonfire.

In his head, Alex remembered Joey's words from earlier and memories of his childhood involuntarily flashed in his mind.

At that time, it was never certain whether he would have something to eat everyday.

Back then, there were even consecutive days where he had nothing to eat so he didn't even have energy to move.

Those days were so hard that Alex even wishes that he'll just die right then and there as he felt the emptiness of his stomach.

Fortunately, Alex took that sofa from the dumpsite where the mutated dungeon core was stored in that changed his whole life.

That's the part that turned Alex's whole life around.

"I'm really… lucky, huh…"

Muttering such words, Alex fell into contemplation.

While Alex is thinking about certain things, in the kids' tent, the four siblings are also still awake.

Jojo, who's 9 years old, looked at her sister and innocently asked, "Sis, will Brother Zero really give us food everyday?"

Angelica turned her eyes at him and nodded, "Yes, didn't he promise us earlier?"

To her words, Jojo nodded.

Then, a complicated look appeared on his childish face and said, "That… did he give you an offer like those bad people before?'"

Angelica was stunned at Jojo's words and hurriedly denied.

"N-no! How could you think like that about our savior!"

Angelica knows who those bad guys are and the offer that Jojo was talking about.

From time to time, a few people take fancy of Angelica even though she's only a child and want to 'buy' her.

They offer food and money and in exchange, they want Angelica to… give them pleasure or even become their sex slave.

Even though Jojo is only 9, as the second oldest, he knows a lot of things because he was forced to grow up in such an environment as the slums.

So, this disgusting reality, Jojo has learned a lot of things, even unpleasant ones.

Now, when he thinks about it, Jojo can't help but get worried that Alex was also like those vile people and just wants to use her sister.

"R-really? He's not like those people?"

Angelica moved closer to her younger brother and hugged him tightly, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Zero is really a good person."

"He's not even asking for anything. He's just concerned about us."

Hearing her own words, Angelica also started feeling emotional again.

Such a person… there was actually such a good person in this world still!

Unknowingly, the siblings drifted off to sleep while still hugging each other to sleep.

…

The next morning, Alex woke up early and started preparing breakfast.

Once he's done cooking a simple meal, the kids also woke up just in time.

Yawns~

Yawning, the kids went out of the tent one by one, still with sleepy eyes.

Alex looked at them with a gentle smile and greeted, "Good morning, kids."

""Good morning, Brother Zero."" They greeted back.

Alex smiled and said, "Well, sit down now and have breakfast. We will be leaving soon so you need to eat a lot to have energy while we travel."

The kids nodded and accepted a plate of food from Alex.

Today's breakfast is Tocilog, a perfect hearty meal which consists of tocino, fried rice, and egg.

"Hmm, this tastes delicious!"

"Oum, this is the first time I tasted this. What is this food called?"

Curiously, the kids looked at the processed food(tocino) on their plate.

But in the end, their tongues and stomachs are more curious about the food than their eyes.

Soon, everyone finished eating breakfast and Alex had also packed everything back to his inventory.

With that done, they are now ready to continue their journey!

"Now then, everyone, let's go!"

Alex let the four kids sit on Ferri's back again before they started moving.

Of course, their weights are nothing to Ferri so he didn't mind.

Anyway, Alex is also feeling lazy today and decided to hop on Ferri's back as well.

Raising his hand, Alex pointed ahead and said, "Ferri, let's go!"

And so, Alex, his two monster pets, and four kids, has continued their journey towards Kupido Town!
