Picking up Girls With My System

"You're saying that there is a dangerous dungeon nearby?" Jack said.

Arthur, Jack, Wisa, Jane, and Skye were talking in Arthur's office.

"Unfortunately, yes. But we are doing our best to clean that place. I don't know how long you'll stay, but I advise you to leave before anything dangerous happens." Arthur said.

Jack and his crew only went to that island to get the treasure. Arthur was happy to see his friend again, but he couldn't let him get hurt.

"We will leave tomorrow. Thanks." Jack said as he left the office, looking for his crew to talk about what had happened.

"So, Skye isn't it? Are you sure you don't remember?" Wisa said.

Even though Skye looked friendly, no one could know her exact thoughts but her. Arthur was glad she helped him, but Jane and Wisa had nothing holding them back.

"Yes."

"I see. Well, you can stay as long as you want."

Jane and Wisa also left the room, which meant only Arthur, and Skye remained.

"Hey, Arthur. You said something about a dangerous dungeon. Maybe I can help?"

Arthur looked at her, and remember that she was someone far stronger than himself. If she helped him out, maybe they could wipe the dungeon for good?

"Maybe. You want to see it first?"

They left the school and went flying to the north part of the island. Arthur had two fire wings that flapped around and made him fast, like a bolt. Skye flew with none of that, and was faster than Arthur, if she wanted.

"Do you know how this place showed up?"

"No. A group of goblins attacked my students some time ago, so I scanned the island and found it."

"You explored it?"

"In parts, yes. I went inside and killed all monsters on the first three floors."

Arthur did not notice, but Skye was serious, intrigued by something.

"When inside, did you see someone strange?"

"Someone strange? Like what?"

"I don't know, maybe a human or a powerful creature?"

"No."

"Okay."

Skye was acting weird, asking too many questions. Not that asking was a problem, but the questions itself were.

Arthur was no fool. He knew she was hiding something and already guessed what it was.

"Skye couldn't hide things if she did not know about anything but the face she lived. Either she lied about losing her memory, or she somehow got her memories back, maybe just a part of it." Arthur thought.

He had his guesses, but could not confront her. Skye was far stronger than he was, and if she was an enemy, then he would be dead, and his students, friends, and wives would be the next.

"This is the place?"

They got in front of the dungeon, and Sully was there, waiting.

"Arthur, who is she?"

"A girl that I met inside a fissure underneath the water."

"Something is off about her. Be careful." Sully said.

Sully could not explain the reason behind what he said, but his beast instinct was telling him that Skye was not someone simple.

"Yes, this is the place."

The dungeon entrance was still blocked because of the stone Sully had put in front of it. Skye walked towards the dungeon entrance, touched the stone, and it turned into dust.

"What are you doing?" Arthur said, unhappy that she destroyed the only defensive layer they had.

"Come. I'll clean this place for you, husband."

"…"

The first floors had no monster in it. Arthur, Jane, and Wisa had cleaned up all of it. They kept moving until reaching the floor where the portal was.

"Where is it?" Arthur thought.

He looked at the same place where the portal was, yet there was nothing. Did someone move the portal? If yes, how was that possible?

Arthur did not say these things to Skye, and they kept going down to an unknown floor.

The monsters on that floor were immense two-headed wolves. Skye just moved her hand and all of them died.

It was a fact she was stronger than Arthur, but it seemed she was way stronger than he was. Arthur looked at her, moving her hands and ending the lives of those monsters, as if she was a god in control of their fate.

"A goddess? Hm."

That was a wild thought, but it could explain the level of power Skye had. The only thing he could not understand is why she was trapped there, who did it, and how did she lose her memory.

At the end of that floor, it was the chief of those wolves. It was a four-headed wolf. It had red eyes, dark fur, and was as tall as a building.

"I can't win against that one."

Skye have her hand, and the wolf was dead…

They kept doing that until they reached the last floor. A strange door shut that level from the rest of the world.

"Let's go end this."

Just like always, Skye moved her hand, and the door was destroyed. A loud bang, and two human-like figures were inside that floor, in a small room.

"Who's strong enough to reach this level? Are you seeking death?"

These were the two human-like figures Theodore saw talking to each other. Their levels could not be seen by Arthur, but he was sure Skye could end them, just like she did with all the rest.

"A pretty girl and a youth? Laughable."

One of them was already, but the other stopped it.

"Wait."

"What is it?"

"That woman… She is not simple."

An instinct. A sense of fear. One beast knew something was off about Skye.

"What brings you here?" one of them said.

They were speaking directly with Skye, as if Arthur was not present.

"That thing, behind you. It's a portal to the Dream Realm, isn't it?"

"What if it is? Are you planning to go inside to die at the hand of the 8 gods?"

"You know, a long, long time ago, it wasn't 8 gods but 10."

The two creatures could not finish another sentence, as they both turned into pieces when Skye cut them using her nails.
