The other figure's armor was colored with camouflage colors. This armor was completely fresh and didn't have any marks or dents on it.

"Sorry for the intrusion" the tall figure removed their helmet and said. Long black hair fall out of the armor, a female face was reveal. The woman's face had scars all over and a part of her face seemed burnt. If you looked past the extra "Character" on her face you'd see that she was absolutely gorgeous.

Crystal blue eyes, pretty small lips and the cheekbones of a model. You'd think with the scars she'd be hard to look at but she was still pretty by normal standards and the scars made it hard for people to look away.

"Hera there is no need for any formalities and you are welcomed to come anytime." Kento extended his hand towards an open seat "Please join us"

This was Hera the head of the military, and a battle junkie who loved to fight. She had made it popular for the generals and sargents of the military to fight in the front lines, instead of just sending the troops. The military in this era wasn't connected to the government as to try and minimize corruption and they held about forty percent of earth's power with the royal famalies coming in third so this made her an influential figure.

"Okay if you insist" After trying to politely refuse a few times, she finally caved in. Despite the aura she had, her expression was polite and humble. Her armor flickered with a soft light and disappeared soon after. She was left wearing a black business suit which didn't hid her curves.

Hera sat down at an empty chair and a few women started talking to her, they seemed like they were familiar with her. She had visited the family a few times and this wasn't her first time. The other person sat down infront of Henry and besides Korah. The person turned to korah and stared at her, they didn't say anything.

"Athena show some manners" Hera said in a gentle tone but her voice was filled with authority. It didn't change the mood around the table.

The figure infront of Henry looked away and removed their helmet and a beautiful girl appeared. She was in her mid teens, blond hair with clear blue eyes. No one needed to be told who her mother was as the resemblance was uncanny,you know except for the scars. Her face would have been perfect if not for the reluctant expression on it. She sat down and ate in silence.

After dinner ended the family chattered for a while over desert before going their sepperate ways. Henry along with Akira and his two sisters were told to not go, they follow kento, who brought them to a garden.

Athena stood behind her mother, who sat opposite of Kento and Hue. Behind them stood Henry and the other three.

"I'll get straight to the point, a dungeon has appeared in a new location that hasn't been recorded yet and despite our best efforts we can't measure it's power. My fears is that it may be an A-Rank or S-Rank dungeon. Also the reason why I came to you guys is because of it's location." Hera said with a worried expression.

Each time that the dungeons would appear, they would appear in the same location as the last one's. The military created a Guild that would measure the power coming from the dungeon and set requirements needed before entering. The guilds would deal with anything related to dungeons and would post guards in order to stop people from recklessly entering. Although the guilds were a sepperate group they still belonged to the military.

Although the dungeons were the same, the was a hug difference in difficulty which would increase drastically. After the planets would merge and change the landscapes, the other natural things except for humans would get strengthened making humans weaker in comparison. Humans would get stronger and than the world would get a buff, a vicious circle would occur.

"Tell me the details" Seeing Hera's expression both Hue and Kento frowned. Hera was one of the strongest people on earth, she had single handadly combined the militia that was in different groups under one rule. So hearing her say this, surprised them. Previously she had been an S-Rank but due to the world, monsters and dungeons getting stronger, she at best can be considered a B-Rank. The conversation went on and plans were made to check it out later.

"There's no need to worry about that dungeon, it's harmless. We know something about it, that's why we bought that property" Kento and Hue exchanged a few glances before Kento commented.

"That's a relief, although it raises a few questions but as long as you guys say it's ok, I'll trust you. I'll leave that portal to you" Hera sighed, although she had more question she didn't want to pry.

She normally would just do it herself but the dungeon concerned her, she decided to ask the only two people who were stronger than her and she could trust. She also had a good relationship with them so it didn't hurt.

From the conversation Henry learnt that the mother and daughter duo had spent their day checking out all the dungeons in the area as soon as they appeared and that a few low rank dungeons had appeared within the city.

"By the way I hope you don't mind me asking, who is that boy" At the end of the conversation Hera spoke out and pointed at Henry which made him nervous. She found his presence weird, she had visited recently and the was no mention of him and tonight no one treated the boy like an outsider, she only knew that Akira was the only boy in this generation. Although she didn't want to be noisy, curiosity had gotten the best of her.

"Ohh Henry, he is korah's fiancé" Kento replied casually, causing Hera to look at him weirdly.

"What's his status?" she asked after trying to piece things together. She rummaged through her head trying to find anything relating to the boy but she didn't find any memory of Henry belonging from the royal families.

"He doesn't have any" This time both mother and daughter were shocked, the looked at kento like he was the biggest fool. It was pretty common to marry for connection and they knew that korah was Kento's favorite grandchild in fact the whole family thought of her as their most important child even more so than Akira, who was suppose to be the next family leader, so to "give" her away to someone with no connection was a crime if she would say.

"Why" Hera asked not able to wrape her head around it. Henry for some reason felt offended by her.

"I guess, his quite strong." He replied with a smile causing the others to look at him strangling, Hera also looked at the boy with intrigue 😭

"Can I spare with him" A sweat voice came from behind Hera, everyone shifted their heads and gazed at the person.
