The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 30: Black Market [5]



****

Heading inside, Amon saw a crowd of people roaming about on the floor.

It was a wide contrast to the previous shops he had been to.

Focusing on the front, he quickly headed towards the receptionist's table.

Arriving there, he saw a lady dressed in a formal suit and a mask covering her facial features sitting behind the counter.

Due to the crowd, he had to wait several minutes before he could talk with her.

She looked up at him and spoke, her voice coming out raspy and deep.

"Welcome to [Dungeon Dreamers], how may we help you?"

"I'd like to book a dungeon," Amon replied without wasting a second.

Nodding, she quickly started to rummage through some files.

"Understood, how would you like to attempt the dungeon?"

"Solo."

It was essential for him to go solo on this mission, even though it multiplied the danger to his life many times.

"Understood, according to our terms, we will obtain 15% of everything you gain in the dungeon, however, the exclusive reward you get at the end will belong to you."

She looked up at him for confirmation and he nodded back.

"Which dungeon would you like to attempt?" she asked before handing him a list with various dungeons listed for him to book.

His eyes quickly scanned through the list before landing on the one he was looking for. Scarlet Reverie.

Dungeons were ranked by 1 leaf to 10 leaves.

The method by which they were classified was according to the rank of ghoul beasts in the 4th phase, just one phase before the boss.

It was also the phase that would house the strongest ghoul beasts in a dungeon which was why it was classified upon that.

This dungeon was a 1 leaf dungeon.

This dungeon was going to be regarded as a history changer in the future.

This was because, in this dungeon, each ghoul beast had a mana core.

There was not a single beast without a core, which was something impossible to find in a dungeon.

Originally, it would be booked a week later by Locke Market just to train their newbies in how to salvage mana cores from beasts.

However, they would hit a gold mine in doing this, which would also skyrocket their stocks even further, enlarging the gap between them and HOU by miles.

But, Amon wasn't going to let it happen like this now.

This event had no significance to the plot which was why he was changing the outcome to hoard some money.

Although he could have just bet on Locke Market and waited for their stocks to rise and get some money, he had other plans that couldn't be achieved this way.

Amon circled the dungeon he wanted to attempt and handed her back the list.

"I'll take this one."

The lady took a quick glance at the sheet before filling in some paperwork and looking back at him.

"When would you like to attempt this dungeon?"

"Tomorrow."

She filled in some more things on the paper.

"We will need a code name for you to attempt this dungeon, what name would you like to register as?"

At her words, he started to think about what he should name himself as.

After a few seconds, he finally decided.

It was a name that he had once read in a book of crime.

"James Corleone."

Nodding, the receptionist quickly filled in his name at the paper before handing it to him along with a pen.

"Please sign here so that you may agree to all our terms and policies."

His eyes quickly scanned through the paper to check if everything was correct. Afterwards, he signed the paper with a fake signature he came up with for his code name.

Handing back the paper, he retrieved the transaction terminal from the lady.

"10k Exlor will be required for your attempt." She informed him and he nodded.

Usually, for a 1 leaf dungeon, this much money wasn't required in the outside world

However for their anonymous services and his choice to go solo in the dungeon, the price was significantly raised.

Quickly linking the watchband to the terminal, he transferred the money.

DING!

He handed the terminal back to her.

"Thank you for choosing [Dungeon Dreamers], please be present here at any time tomorrow

to attempt the dungeon. Do not forget your code name as its required to check your dungeon

booking."

Amon nodded, and then turned to leave, his cane tapping against the cold hard ground as he headed outside of the building.

****

Coming out of the building, he realized it might be night outside.

He quickly traversed through the streets, wanting to get out of the black market as soon as

possible.

He arrived at the entrance street, which was now way more crowded than before.

Night was the favorite time of people to come here after all.

He was about to head towards the narrow pathway to leave before a sudden memory struck

him.

His promise to the girl.

To wait for him while he got done with his work and brought her something to eat.

He quickly ran his gaze around him to find if anyone was selling food.

However, he didn't find a single stall that was selling proper food.

Until finally his eyes set upon a small stall in the corner.

The stall was selling equipments for dungeons but he saw a box of chocolates behind the guy,

probably for himself to eat.

Walking to the stall, he met the eyes of the frail looking old man wearing a cracked mask.

His stall was quite small compared to the other ones as well.

"Welcome dear sir! We got all kinds of eq-"

"How much is the box of chocolates for?" Amon asked straight away.

"Huh?" The man blurted out with surprise, not understanding what he had said.

The boy pointed to the box of chocolates behind the man.

"That box, how much will it be for?"

"Huh uhh sir, it's for myself..."

"I don't care, I'll pay as much as you like for it."

The man looked at Amon with shock, probably wondering why the masked man in front of

him was so obsessed with chocolates.

But the latter knew he would agree.

From his stall, he knew that this man didn't sell alot and was in bad conditions, probably the

reason why he was surviving on chocolates as well.

And to his satisfaction he did.

"Umm you can take this for 500 Exlor." He proposed.

Instantly agreeing, Amon extended his hand out for the terminal.

The man, shocked at how easily he had agreed, grabbed the terminal and handed it out to the

masked man before him.

Linking his watchband, he quickly transferred the money.

Handing back the terminal, the man quickly retrieved the box of chocolates and handed it to

Amon.

Nodding at him, he started to leave, leaving the man wondering at his weirdness.

****

Amon arrived out of the black market, the box of chocolates stored in his inventory.

Without a word to the guards, he moved swiftly through the streets, his cane taps piercing through the warm silence of the night.

Arriving in the street where he had previously seen the girl, he saw her sitting at the same

corner he had asked her to wait, sleeping.

She had a small frown on her baby face, probably because of her intense hunger.

He walked up to her and crouched down, lowering his face to her level.

Softly pressing his gloved hand with her dirty cheek, he made her twitch and wake up.

Her sight blurry, she rubbed her eyes with her baby fingers.

She instantly recognized him.

"Uncle back?" she asked, her voice soft and dry with hunger.

Smiling with pity behind the box, he quickly retrieved the box of chocolates from his

inventory into his hands.

He nodded at her words and quickly took out a chocolate.

Seeing the bar of food, he saw a glimmer of happiness pass through her eyes as they lit up.

Tearing off the wrapper, he handed her the bar.

Grabbing the small bar with her small hands, she nibbled on it cutely.

The sweet taste of the chocolate settled into her mouth, making her eyes shine with joy and

happiness.

Suddenly, her speed increased as she started to nibble faster.

Amon kept watching her with a smile on his face as he waited for her to finish the bar.

And it didn't take long for her to finish as well.

But that was not what caught his attention at the moment.

It was the satisfied and happy light smile on her face at the moment that made his eyes widen

with surprise.

He quickly tore the wrapper of another bar and handed it to her, wanting this small girl in

front of him to eat as much as she wanted.

Taking the small bar with glee, she started nibbling on it again with joy.

However, this time, she suddenly stopped midway.

Looking up at his mask, the girl extended the bar slowly towards him with a pleading face.

Confused, Amon looked at her with a tilt of his head.

"You uncle no eat? Why no eat?"

He looked at her with shock. Surprised at how one could be so kind within these streets.

It was at that time, that his stomach grumbled as well.

Familiar with the noise she had heard so many times, she extended the bar further, making it

touch the surface of his mask.

"Uncle hunger eat."

Composing himself, he looked at her with kindness behind the mask.

Raising the mask a little, he took a smile bite of the bar that now touched his lips.

Looking at him eat, the girl smiled further with happiness.

It was a happy moment between the two who had just met a few hours ago.

Yet they already looked like they were friends.
