'What the…' Alan thought as he started to use his observation skill however before he could, the metallic doors of the elevator already closed as the figure of the woman disappeared.
'What the hell was up with that woman…' Alan thought to himself in confusion as he slightly shook his head, the unnerving feeling still persisting as his mind instinctively told him that something about that encounter hadn't exactly been normal.
Turning back around once more, Alan slowly walked towards the end of the hallway until finally he came to a stop before his apartment door, looking up, there was a silver coloured stainless steel plate located at the top of the door, the number 505 reflecting off of it faintly for a moment.
Taking a deep breath, his mind still somewhat back at the elevator, Alan finally lifted his hand that was holding the key he had been given and put it in the hole before twisting it, the lock mechanism made a mechanical noise as it unlocked and with a light push, the door moved inwards and Alan could see inside of the apartment.
It looked modern, with good quality furnishings though the colours were rather bland if he had anything to say about it, the enter walls were coloured in a light off white colour and there was a large couch in the middle of the living room together with a kitchen and other decorations that were either variations of white, black or gray.
There was also a bedroom connected to the living room as well as a bathroom that was connected to the small hallway inside the apartment through a door to the left of it.
'It's… It's pretty decent.' Alan thought to himself as he walked towards the right side of the living room where there were windows that went from the ceiling to the floor and gave a clear sight of the road down below.
By the windows was also a small boxy radio that was clearly quite old however it was also the only piece of what Alan could call as entertainment in the entire apartment, there was nothing else, no TV, no computer, nothing.
'Well… as I said, it is better than nothing.' Alan muttered inside his mind as he clicked the button and turned on the radio, some light jazz music instantly being heard from it as it connected to a random music channel.
Turning his head, Alan looked at the couch for a moment and instantly started heading towards it before laying down on the couch and closing his eyes for a moment before they snapped open almost instantly as he muttered aloud.
"System Dungeon."
The holographic screen appeared almost instantly before him, floating in the air and perfectly located so that he could read every part of it without moving his head at all or strain himself.
[ System Dungeon. ]
[ Dummy Dungeon ] [ Level 1 ] [ Join ]
[ Slime Dungeon ] [ Level 5 ] [ Join ]
[ ??? Dungeon ] [ Level 50 ] [ Unavailable ]
[ ??? Dungen ] [ Level 100 ] [ Unavailable ]
…
..
Mentally clicking onto the Slime dungeon, the pop up confirmation window appeared almost instantly before him as usual, however… there was something different about it this time around…
[ Proceed into the Slime Dungeon ]
[ Yes ] [ Unavailable ] [ No ]
'Unavailable? What?' Alan thought in shock instantly as his body practically jumped up from the couch as he landed on his feet, his eyes had widened considerably as he looked down at the holographic screen in front of him.
Clicking on the Unavailable icon, another holographic screen appeared in front of him.
[ User is currently in a Supernatural Event Area. Whilst the Event is ongoing, he cannot physically leave. ]
'What… supernatural event area… what the fuck does that even mean.' Alan thought for a moment before his mind came to a screeching halt as the realisation hit him, something that he had just experienced merely a few minutes ago whilst in the elevator and when he had come out of it.
'That woman… I knew she wasn't normal, I knew it… this damned piece of shit. Why the hell can't I just have a single damn night where something isn't trying to kill me or just mess with me. A single night, it's all that I god damn ask for.' Alan thought in annoyance as he looked around himself at the room however nothing out of the ordinary appeared anywhere, in fact everything was normal, besides the fact that the system wasn't letting him enter the system dungeons.
Hours passed in this same manner as Alan sat down on the couch whilst his eyes swerved to the left and right almost constantly, however the mental toll that the day had taken on him, the fact that he had to move away from his childhood city, that he had been practically expelled and then been thrust into another utterly confusing situation right after finally took its hold on his body and mind as he fell asleep without even noticing it himself.
Opening his eyes, Alan found himself completely surrounded by water, in what looked to be the middle of a bright tropical ocean. Instantly he started swimming towards what he thought was the shore, for minutes on end, he kept swimming and swimming, the shore slowly coming into view, however the closer he came to the shore, the more he realised that there was something on that very same shore, some kind of dark shadowy figure that was looking directly at him.
'Alan Walker… we finally met.' The figure said as it smiled towards him, its voice seemed to be directly heard inside of Alan's mind as the figure had no apparent mouth or face on its body through which it could physically talk.
