The Author's POV

Arriving in front of another metal door that seemed more secure and robust than the one that led to the black market, I knocked once.

-Bam!

On the right side of the door, a small compartment opened up to which I placed my black card.

-Voom!

As soon as I placed my card, green light emerged from the bottom of the compartment enveloping my card.

-Diiii

A couple of seconds after the green light disappeared, I heard the sound of a ring coming from the compartment indicating to me that the scan was complete.

Taking my card back, the metal door started rumbling before slowly opening up.

-Vam!

Entering the building, I was instantly stunned.

A luxuriously decorated hall, where at the front stood a stunning reception counter made of a mixture of wood and marble. Various receptionists tended the guest from behind the counter, and a faint citrusy smell lingered in the air.

Because Kevin had never been here in the novel, it was also my first time knowing how this place looked like.

Words couldn't even come close to describe how a place actually looked like in real life, as things such as the smell, the sounds, and the atmosphere always tended to be hard to conceptualize in words. You could get a general idea of how a place looked like, but it would never be the same as in real life. Every time I came to a new place, I became speechless on how different the place was compared to what I had written.

In this case, even though I had no idea how this place would look like, I was still momentarily overwhelmed by this place's grandeur.

It resembled a palace created for the king of an empire.

Clean white marble floor, silky red carpets, gold-coated lamps, neatly sculpted desks, this place had everything.

This was what true luxury looked like.

Arriving at the front desk of the reception, I went towards a clerk on the right side of the reception desk.

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

"I'm looking to enter a dungeon"

Smiling at my reply, the receptionist took a small tablet out and presented it to me.

"These are all the available dungeons that we have at the moment"

Scrolling through the tablet I could see a large list of dungeons.

Each dungeon had a red and green circle around them, indicating whether they were available or not.

Each dungeon had a limit on how many people could enter, and if the limit was not respected the dungeon would destabilize resulting in a potential desync.

A desync was essentially a phenomenon where a dungeon would lose its connection with the demon world.

Once a dungeon lost its connection to the demon world, it essentially became a void dungeon. Which was a dungeon that led to nowhere.

Since [Dungeon seekers] knew this, they made sure that the limit was never broken by always leaving one slot open.

"We currently have three operating G rank dungeons, 6 F-rank dungeons, 18 D-rank dungeons, 11 C-rank dungeons, 13 B-rank dungeons, and lastly 4 A-rank dungeons"

Seeing the endless amount of dungeons available, I was left speechless

The number of dungeons they were hiding was enough to make people wonder how the government still hasn't done anything.

Actually considering their wealth and influence, even if the central government wanted to do something I doubt they'd be able to hurt [Dunegone seekers]. That was unless they wanted to start a full-blown war, which no one desired.

Taking the tablet, I quickly went through the list for F-rank dungeons.
