Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master



On Earth.

Pearl City's City Center.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered at the plaza.

It was a bit chaotic at this time because of the sheer number of people that have come to this place today.

And the reason for them all to be here is because of something that the local government of Pearl City has announced yesterday.

That is the CADP or Citizen Alter Dimension Plan.

This plan hopes to recruit a few citizens of Pearl City and help them get started with entering the Alter Dimension and become players.

Of course, each one of them is being interviewed and filtered.

That's the reason why they are here.

Those that are successful, can proceed and enter Alter Dimension.

However, everyone that will be able to pass the interview will then be listed down to make sure that no one will cause trouble to society in the future.

In the plaza, there are dozens of booths where people are being screened one by one by people from the government.

In one of the booths, Rose Raven, Kris' aunt, is also conducting a screening as an interviewer.

"Okay, we will just call you if you pass the interview to proceed to the next step."

At this time, she just finished interviewing another aspiring female player.

After the girl left, Rose slumped on her chair and sighed, "Hais, I've been sitting here all morning and it's making me want to go out and move around my body."

"Why did dad even assign me here?"

Rose felt a little frustrated.

Rose is actually a very outgoing type of person.

Instead of staying indoors, Rose prefers to go out on an adventure, climbing mountains, fighting monsters, exploring jungles, etc.

So, being stuck here to interview people felt a little boring for her.

Rose remained still for a while before she suddenly sat up.

Then, she muttered, "What if I escape from here?"

Once she started thinking of that, the idea started to grow more and more in her mind.

Soon, Rose has finally made a decision.

"Alright, I think I really need to get away from here!"

Just as Rose was about to execute her escape plan, a girl who's roughly in her late teens or early twenties entered the booth.

"Uhm, excuse me."

"Ah, please come here."

Seeing that, Rose can only delay her plan.

In her mind, she thought, 'Well, this will be the last one anyway. I'll just finish this and run away!'

The girl walked closer to Rose and sat down on the chair.

Observing the girl from behind the table, Rose noticed that she seems to be the timis type.

Tapping her finger on the table, Rose said, "We will now proceed with the interview, please introduce yourself."

Timidly, the girl said, "Uhm, m-my name is Jopay, 19 years old."

Jopay then proceeds to tell a few more basic informations regarding her such as her family details.

Once she finished, she looked up at Rose and waited for her to say something.

Crossing her fingers together, Rose seriously said, "Then, please tell me why you want to enter the Alter Dimension."

Hearing that, a hesitant expression appeared on Jopay's face.

Noticing that, Rose became curious.

'Hmm? That's unusual.'

'Previously, when I asked that to the previous interviewees, they either had a longing expression or an ambitious one.'

'I wonder what's causing her hesitation…'

Even though she was curious, Rose didn't urge Jopay.

She just sat there, waiting for her to say something.

Finally, after a few minutes, a determined look appeared in Jopay's eyes and she seemed to have come to a decision.

Lifting her head, she looked directly into Rose's eyes and said, "Excuse me, I have something important I want to say."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Jopay said, "Actually, I think I'm already a player."

Hearing her words, Rose paused before raising an eyebrow.

She fixed her sitting posture and said, "What do you mean? Please explain."

At her words, Jopay started explaining.

The thing is, about a month ago, a translucent screen suddenly appeared in front of Jopay.

At first, Jopay thought she was just hallucinating and she even went to a psychiatrist to get her head checked.

However, after some tests, she appeared to be healthy physically and mentally.

Then, yesterday, when the government released some information about Alter Dimension, Jopay came to a realization.

She is like those players described by the government!

After listening to everything that Jopay has to say, Rose stared at her and with a frown, she said,

"Your 'World System' has already activated on its own?"

"Is it called 'World System'? Then, yes." Jopay nodded.

Rose leaned back to her seat and crossed her arms with a thoughtful look on her face.

There was silence in the booth for a while.

Jopay started becoming fidgety because of the silence and was just about to say something.

But Rose suddenly stood up, startling her, and said, "I'm not sure how this could happen. So, I'll bring you to my Dad, he knows more things than me."

Saying that, Rose walked out from behind the table and headed towards the exit.

"Ah! P-please wait!"

Jopay hurriedly got up and followed Rose out of the booth.

…

Days passed by since Alex and his group started their journey back to Kupido Town.

Along the way, Alex passed by a couple of cities that he had also passed by before.

Because of that, other than the first night, Alex and his group didn't really camp outside and just rented some rooms in an inn.

Alex chose to sleep in inns this time because there are kids in the group.

Anyway, today is already their 6th day on the road.

"We're about to arrive in River City. I know a good place there, I'll bring you all there later."

Alex said while looking at the 4 siblings on Ferri's back.

Hearing that, Angelica and her brothers became curious about the place Alex mentioned.

Ferri also had an expectant look on his face as he visibly increased his speed.

Noticing that, Blaze looked at Ferri blankly before also increasing his own speed to match Ferri.

After a while, a big river gradually became visible within the group's sight.

It didn't take long before the city wall of River City also became visible.

"We're here, River City!" Alex said.

At the same time, Alex also remembered that last time, he ran away from the people of that Dragon Diner where he ate last time.

Thinking of that, he muttered, "I remember, I didn't pay when I ate there last time. I should pay them properly when I go back this time."

When he first went to Dragon Diner, Alex ran away because he was afraid that those people would do something to him.

However, compared to him at that time, Alex right now is already multiple times stronger.

Just his stats alone have already gone through a magnitude of change, what more if you add his powerful skills.

Anyway, that's the reason why Alex has the confidence to come back to Dragon Diner this time.

When entering the city, Alex was stopped by the guards.

"Stop!"

"Please show your identification card!"

Obediently, Alex stopped on his tracks, took out his adventurer's guild card and handed it to the guard.

The guard inspected it a bit before handing it back to Alex and allowing him entry.

"Here's your card back. You can enter."

"Thanks."

Taking back his card, Alex pointed on Ferri's back and said,

"By the way, I also have some kids in my company but they don't have identity cards."

When he said that, the four kids sitting on Ferri's back showed themselves to the guard.

The guard just glanced at them and said, "Oh, then please pay for some temporary pass for them to get in."

"It's 5 bronze each."

Alex just pulled out a silver coin from his pocket and gave it to the guard.

"Here, you can keep the change."

Hearing that, the guard immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, sir!"

An obvious change can be noticed within the guard's attitude and words after Alex handed him the money.

Alex just smiled at that without saying a word.

Without caring about the guard, Alex entered River City with his group.

"Now that we're here, let's immediately go and visit Dragon Diner!"

"Woof!"

The only one that replied to Alex is Ferri who's already drooling by this time.

Last time that they went there, it wasn't just Alex who got a dragon's skill but also Ferri.

So, knowing that they are going back to that place that serves great food that can bring unbelievable effects, Ferri can't help but be thrilled.

Seeing his appearance, Alex chuckled, "What? Are you excited to eat at Dragon Diner again?"

"Woof!"

Ferri barked while nodding.

Because of Ferri, Angelica can't help but become more curious about this place called Dragon Diner.

So, she turned to Alex and asked, "Brother Zero, just what is this place that you're bringing us to for even Brother Ferri to be so excited?"
