Regroup With Others

[Ace POV],

Emma and I both took a deep breath of fresh air as soon as we returned to the surface.

"Looks like you were right about the time difference in the dungeons," Emma said just after this happened as I nodded and replied to what she said.

"I expected it," I simply said, and Emma nodded and looked at me to continue speaking, but after a few seconds of silence, Emma withdrew her gaze from me as the air around us became awkward.

Seeing this, I ignored her actions and observed my surroundings, realizing that I couldn\'t find Anna or Chris, but I did find some footsteps on the ground.

Emma and I who saw this followed the trail of the footsteps, cautiously observing our surroundings and preparing ourselves not to be caught in an unexpected situation.

As I pondered this, I began to wonder where Anna and Chris were and looking at the sky, I could tell it was still noon, and only a dozen and a few minutes should have passed from the time we entered the dungeon, so Anna and Chris should not have left the area because they hadn\'t seen us in a long time due to the time difference between both worlds.

What I don\'t know is the exact time difference between the true world and the one in the instant dungeon, because from what I\'m seeing now, the time difference should not be 1:1 (1 minute: 1 hour/ 1 hour: 1 minute) like the former dungeon I entered before this one. Perhaps there are different time differences for different dungeons.

Well, if the alternate dimension is just a duplicate of the dungeon world we just came out of, I\'ll later know the difference between the time in the true world and the dungeon world.

But, seriously, the true world was as the guardian described.

Apart from being mysterious in the sense that I have yet to discover a clue that led to the start of the apocalypse, this world was far more dangerous than the one we came out of before passing through the gateway.

It had only been barely a day since we arrived in the true world, and during this time, I had encountered a rank 1 monster right from the start, as well as discovered that the weakest native monsters in this place were all rank one species.

Aside from that, I had encountered two rank-one humans for the first time, followed by two more in a new type of dungeon that was reasonably dangerous.

All of this was not even the most important thing that happened, as stage two began not long after we arrived.

My suspicion remained that the dungeon world we had just left was what the primordial chronicle was referring to when it asked if the myths and stories passed down through the ages were true.

That was just telling us it was. At the very least, it has become real.

Then there\'s the part where we still haven\'t met the people the primordial chronicle warned us about twice.

People who had gone through what humans were going through right now. This could mean a variety of things, but there was no other information from the primordial chronicle that could be used as a hint to figure out what was going on.

Even with all of these points, they may not even compare to everything that will happen in the future.

But that will have to wait for the future I suppose.

I was thinking these things when I noticed the figures in the distance in front of me.

The figures were Anna, who was holding Mia, and Chris, who was beside her, in a destroyed environment.

\'Looks like there was a fight here,\' I thought as Emma and I finally got close to the others, Emma speaking first before I could.

"What exactly happened here?" She inquired as Anna, who had heard this, turned to face us.

"When you guys went down here, a monster came here, but Chris took care of it," she explained, adding, "but you guys stayed quite a long time there, what did you find?" She inquired as Emma took it upon herself to summarize things to Anna as I ignored this when I saw it and turned to Chris instead.

"You\'re very lucky, aren\'t you?" I said as I looked at the object in Chris\'s hands.

"Ah yes," Chris said as he approached me with the orange orb in his hands.

When I saw this, I said nothing and just held the orange orb and observed it as I spoke.

"To think you got a rare grade orb right away from a monster that wasn\'t much stronger than you," I said, to which Chris gave a short laugh and scratched the back of his head as he smiled at me.

I knew Chris defeated a weak monster because that was the level of monster he could face in the first place.

As I considered this, I told Chris to hold on to his orb first before returning it to him, which he did as I turned to Emma and Anna, who was still talking, and spoke.

"Let\'s go," I said as they both nodded and continued talking, but this changed when Anna saw that I was leading them to the entrance in the hill that held the passage to take the stairs, as she turned to me with a confused expression on her face and spoke.

Chris was looking at me with a puzzled expression as well.

"Where are you taking us, Ace?" Anna inquired as Chris turned to face me and awaited my response.

Seeing this, I knew Emma hadn\'t gotten to the part about the alternate dimension in her conversation with Anna.

With this in mind, I opened my mouth to respond to Anna while continuing to move.

"I\'m taking you to a place that will be our home in the true world from now on if my plans work out," I said as Anna, who heard what I said, ignored the latter part, and addressed the first.

"Our home?" She asked, completely baffled, as Chris turned to look at me with a puzzled expression on his face, whereas Emma looked at me with a curious expression on her face.

Seeing this, I spoke up.

"Be patient," I said, adding, "You\'ll see what I mean soon enough," as I led everyone back down the hill through the stairs as Anna spoke no more and turned to continue her conversation with Emma, who gave me a deep look before returning to her conversation with Anna.
