23 Yin body

Alex tied up her long red hair into a tight bun as she looked at Liam from top to bottom.

Every time her gaze fell on him, it was clear to her that she was in a game. No real man could look like that!

Though she herself was quite the looker, with a slender body and soft curves, the person in front of her was in a completely different league.

But except for his appearance and perhaps that special quest he received, nothing else was really that special about him, not to mention the arrogant attitude he wore.

She was still not sure if the person actually warranted this much attention and the ass-kissing which Rey was shamelessly doing.

Liam couldn't care less about the drops from a beginner's dungeon. So he simply agreed. "That's fine with me. I don't need any equipments. We can roll for skill books. But I do have a condition."

"If there are any material drops or unique drops, I will be taking it."

Hmmm… Alex stared him down, raising her brow at him.

Just because he said what he said, she couldn't help but feel that there were going to be unique drops or some special quest items. Was this guy a beta tester?

Nevertheless, she as well shrugged and agreed.

She didn't want to waste too much time because if they don't clear the dungeon first, someone else will take their cake.

After Alex agreed, the group then quickly walked inside, entering the cave, but as soon as they stepped inside, it was as if they had been transported to a completely different place.

They were now standing in a forest of sorts again, an extremely windy one at that, and the clear blue sky was now an unsettling ominous dark purple in color.

"What the hell is this dungeon?" Rey asked, looking around nervously. There was no beast or monster in sight and the place was a bit creepy for a plain empty forest.

"Not down. Look up." Liam muttered.

Rey and the two women immediately looked up to see tiny red dots scattered in the dark purple cloudy sky and when they looked closer, they instantly gasped.

There were dozens of birds swirling around in the sky above them.

"Fuuucck!" Rey cursed and Alex had an unsightly expression on her face. The third party remained calmer and looked unmoved.

Liam was impressed.

She had the right attitude. Just because they were there, it didn't mean that they were going to attack them. Otherwise, they would have done so already.

While everyone looked around in awe, Liam calmly sat down on the forest ground opening his inventory screen. "Alright. I need 5 more minutes and then I will be good to go."

Everyone was too distracted to care about him so they absentmindedly nodded. Liam chuckled. The game was indeed a bit too realistic and there was a reason for that.

He sighed and shook his head, finally taking a look at the things he had swiped from the dragon's lair.

[Currency]

[Gold - 5000]

[Silver - 5000]

[Copper - 5000]

"Not bad." Liam clicked his tongue. He then took a look at the first skill book.

[Demonic summon]: Consumes 200 mana and summons a lesser demon. Spell active for 20 seconds. Level 1

"Tch. Tch. What an expensive summoning spell…"

Liam quickly learned the skill as there was no limit to the number of skills one could learn. Now leveling all of them up and making sure that they are actually useful was an entirely different thing.

One could learn a hundred skills but it was physically impossible to focus on all of them, level all of them, and gain enlightenment regarding all of them.

But this particular skill was well worth the time and effort because Liam knew that when leveled up, it would enable the player to permanently form a contract with a demon.

Of course, there was also another prerequisite for this to happen. Only people with an extremely high demonic affinity were capable of achieving this stage.

Liam did not have an SSS grade affinity which was technically the highest but she still had an S grade affinity which was good enough. So he didn't hesitate and quickly learned the skill.

Standing beside him, now curiously looking at what he was doing, Alex crossed her arms and muttered under her breath. "Hey, Hofstadter. What do you think he is doing? Did he just learn a skill?"

Liam ignored their chatter and continued with the next book when suddenly his hand paused.

"Hofstadter?" His eyes quickly scanned the name of the third member of the party, the priestess with whom he had not interacted that much.

Rey Thornwood

Alex Thornwood

Mia Hofstadter

He hadn't paid enough attention to their names earlier and now that he did, Liam was utterly dumbfounded. What was this fate? Or simply a coincidence?

Liam cursed himself for not noticing this sooner. In his hurry, he would have almost sent away a god-sent gift package.

In his previous life, Mia Hofstadter was a very famous name.

She had been one of the top healers on the leader board. Not to mention, her top-notch skills as a battle priest when she was not healing.

In addition to that, the woman was extremely good looking, with a gorgeous figure, honey blond hair, and clear blue eyes.

She also had a calm, composed, and cold temperament like a sword that was sheathed, which didn't quite fit the image of a kind and benevolent priestess.

Yet she was adored by countless fans and was revered as a goddess. However, all of this was still when the world had a semblance of normalcy.

After things started to turn bleak, her name had for some reason disappeared altogether. She was not even registered with the association.

As his mind rummaged through the several things he had heard about Mia, Liam paused, paying attention to the one particular thing, the only part he cared about.

This woman in front of him possessed a pure Yin body!
