THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
the Dungeon soul core

The girl was named Erlin from the Zorgan kingdom, a classmate of Sena, a first-year blue-cloak sorcerer at Zezzanaza academy.

The usual talent for ordinary human standards, only slightly better because it has intelligence in studying theory, certainly can not be compared with Sena as the strength of the hero.

But apart from that, Erlin is a beautiful girl figure, graceful, not arrogant and also cheap smile, proven to be able to talk Zen without caring about caste status as an ordinary person.

"I heard that if you asked Sena to take you into the Dungeon, is that true ?."

Unfortunately Erlin's question was different from reality...."Is this my face like an eager person doing it."

"Not really." Erlin could read Zen's expression.... "So what are you here for ?."

"Because it forced me to come along, the girl didn't know when to stop bothering others who wanted to relax." Zen was upset himself.

But Erlin laughed a little..."This is really rarely done by Sena."

"Rarely?, does he have no friends or anything like that to have fun with."

"How else, because of the hero status Sena has, the students in the academy are reluctant to consider her as a friend."

A different case of Zen's problems, although Villian Zen still has friends, but it will be different story when he enters the academy.

Zen was born in an ordinary family, more precisely a demon disguised as a human in order to survive. Yet viewed by a disciple of noble status, he was nothing more than footwear.

As for Sena, she was too tall, too talented, and was in a caste that surpassed a king, thus making the surrounding people uncomfortable to be close to Sena.

This has also been experienced by Zen in his previous life.

Being one of the best employees in the company, got a lot of praise by the boss and also a promising position. But with all the achievements it doesn't make Zen happy.

The people around him slowly drifted away, they were envious of the great things he had, so when Zen came to his senses, there was no one present to support him.

Moreover, when he is too focused on his career, Zen's love story becomes worse and ends up being an invited guest at the wedding of his ex-girlfriend.

A memory that he doesn't want to remember...

"Why do I understand the life she's been through." Zen smiled to himself.

"Because of that, when I saw Sena so happy, I felt like there was something good that made her change."

"But you're wrong to think I'm a 'good thing'."

"Why ?."

"Because I'm just as selfish as Sena." Zen smiled bitterly.

Zen is self-centered, possessing the power of a True God to save many people, but he prefers to live what he wants without a single care about the world.

"It turns out you're here Zen, what are you doing ?." Say someone from behind.

A familiar voice was clearly heard in the ears. Zen and Erlin turned to look at him, but with that name alone, it was very clear that there was only one person who knew him here.

"Princess Sena." Erlin said a name.

"Just enjoy the time."

"You're too relaxed Zen."

"That's how."

Knowing that Sena deliberately came to see Zen, of course Erlin understood what he had to do. He stood up and intended to leave with the intention of giving them time.

"Where are you Erlin ?." Ask Zen.

"I have other business, so I have to go." A reason to avoid.

"Well, thank you for coming with me."

"Together."

Now it was Sena's turn to sit next to Zen. There was no reason whatsoever for her to start the conversation, but seeing how Sena behaved the way she pinched her hair, it was very unusual.

"Why are you?, Ketombean right ?." Ask Zen.

Sena's upset...."I always take a shower every day."

The question did not match Sena's expectations.

"What do you think, do I look good with this hair tie."

"Hmmm that's pretty useful." Answer Zen.

"Purpose ?." Sena looked confused because her praise was not up to expectations.

"Yes right, the hair tie that you use has the benefit of smoothing the flow of energy in the body, so that if used for a long time, you will not be constipated." Zen clarifies.

A strange explanation from Zen and not expected by Sena, because she bought the hair tie was not about the benefits as a constipation remedy or else.

"I asked her about her beauty, not her usefulness."

"If that's what you want to know, with just a hair tie, it doesn't change anything from you." Answer Zen.

Lemas Sena's face heard Zen's response...."Oh so."

"Yes, since you've been pretty since the beginning, so tying your hair or not is the same for you."

For a moment Sena took a deep breath, for some reason she felt embarrassed after getting Zen's answer.

"But still, even if you're beautiful, your nature is inversely proportional. I think all your beauty is free." Zen continued to give additional information.

While in another corner, the five male student figures of Zezzanaza academy noticed Zean from a distance. Naturally the feeling of annoyance mixed with envy was evident on their faces.

Knowing that other people got the attention of the beautiful and famous girl Sena was already the reason for the five of them getting angry.

Without hesitation, the five NPCs who were nothing more than additional characters walked over to boast before Sena.

"Well... Sena, aren't you ashamed of having a friend like her."

"You're just going to waste your time accompanying useless people. Better to be with us, there's certainly a lot of profit you can get."

"That's absolutely right, because obviously we are talented students in the academy."

Sena clearly does not like the attitude of those who come without permission then as well as demeaning others.

Even for Zen he doesn't care about their nonsense. As an adult and also often under pressure from company bosses, it would be easy for him to be patient and reply to the words with a smile.

But now, Sena stood looking at the five of them with sharp eyes, then a mocking smile she showed.

"You talented students?, what is a joke?, but I don't feel comforted by your nonsense." Reply Sena.

They were surprised to hear the words of Sena who preferred to defend others rather than classmates.

"If compared to that guy, of course the five of us are much better."

"And the five of you are only blue robes, but your pride is as if it had been able to cut down on the heavens." Sena did not hesitate.

Zen did not like this line of talk, as if he knew the end would be a problem.

Intending to stop Sena's attitude is like looking for an enemy.

"Come on, don't make a fuss, I don't mind if they make fun of me." Zen whisper to Sena's ear.

But it was all too late when one of the five of them raised their voices.

"Then I can prove it, if I'm better than him."

'yeah.... How to be gini.'

**********

The floor of the Dungeon...

The point of the red light ball was brightly lit as it showed signs of life. It was the Dungeon's soul core, a unique existence that could not be explained by logic.

'Those who are chosen by the true God are present in my territory. That Sacred Aura is a limitless source of strength, I want to have it....'

All the lives that were killed inside the Dungeon would be a source of energy for him to add to his strong defenses.

Thousands of monsters moved up towards the surface, their goal was from commanding the Dungeon soul core itself, finding the owner of the hero energy and swallowing them.
