Then a system notification came
[ Players can access stronger dungeon through gates and if monsters in dungeon are not regularly they will start appearing in reality. ]
The sudden appearance of the system notification in their peripheral vision caught both of them off guard. They read the words, trying to make sense of the information being presented to them.
Jasmine looked at Keshav, a mixture of curiosity and concern on her face. "What does that mean?" she asked, her voice slightly shaky.
Keshav frowned, trying to comprehend the message. "I'm not sure," he replied, his brow furrowed in thought. "It seems to be saying that we can access the dungeon through the system, but if the monsters aren't regularly killed, they'll start appearing in reality...?"
Jasmine shuddered at the thought of monsters appearing in the real world. "That sounds dangerous," she said, her voice tinged with worry.
Keshav nodded, realizing the gravity of the situation. "Yeah, it does..." he replied, his mind racing through the possibilities.
Then other notification rang.
[ With time the dungeons comes close to the world, so with time players need to defeat stronger monsters to stop them from appearing in reality.
Weak level monsters will still respawn for new or weak players to hunt. ]
The second notification filled them with a sense of urgency. Jasmine's eyes widened as she processed the information.
"So we need to keep killing stronger monsters?" she asked, her voice filled with determination.
Keshav nodded, his mind already formulating a plan. "Looks like it," he replied, a stern expression on his face.
They knew they had a responsibility now – they had to defeat stronger monsters to prevent the dungeon from encroaching further into reality. It was a dangerous task, but they were both up for the challenge.
"We need to get stronger," Keshav said, his tone resolute.
Then they got another notification
[ Congratulation on defeating boss monster. You got a nexus stone. ]
The third notification appeared, congratulating them on their victory. Jasmine's eyes lit up as she read the message.
"A nexus stone!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. "That must be a rare item!"
They quickly checked the nexus stone. It glowed with a radiant energy, its surface glimmering with a mesmerizing glow.
As they inspected the stone, they realized it was much more than just a rare item. It was a powerful artifact, filled with energy and potential.
A new window popped up, listing the uses of the nexus stone. Both Jasmine and Keshav read through the information, their eyes scanning the text.
[ The nexus stone is dropped from every boss monster in the dungeon. It could permanently boost their skills. But stronger the skill weaker the effect. ]
It was like finding a treasure trove of power.
"This stone is amazing," Keshav said, his eyes wide with awe. "It can boost our skills permanently...?"
Jasmine nodded, her mind already picturing the possibilities. "This is the key we need to get stronger," she said, her voice filled with determination.
Then they got another notification
[Nexus crystals are useless to keshav and jasmine as you 2 use reality essence instead of mana, as reality essence does not follow law of conservation of mass and energy. But because of reality essence even your normal skills will be much stronger than same skill of other players]
[Notice nexus crystals can't enhance reality level skills and those that do not follow law of conservation of mass and energy. Reality Sundering and reality weaving are both so it can't be enhanced]
They felt disappointed but they knew that even without the enhancement they still have their op skills so they just shrugged it off.
"It's a shame the nexus stone can't enhance our skills," Keshav said, his voice tinged with disappointment.
Jasmine nodded in agreement, her expression mirroring his. "Yeah, it would have been nice to get an extra edge," she said, her voice soft.
But despite the setback, they both knew they still had their unique skills, which were already quite powerful compared to other players.
Their conversation about the nexus stone was suddenly interrupted by a reminder of their current predicament – they were still naked from the waist down.
Jasmine's cheeks burned with embarrassment, and she instinctively tried to cover herself with her hands. "Um, I think we have a bigger problem than the nexus stone right now..." she mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper.
Keshav chuckled awkwardly, realizing the same. "Yeah, you're right..." he agreed, scratching the back of his head.
They looked at each other, both realizing the absurdity of their situation. They were sitting in a bathtub, stark naked, discussing their plans for defeating monsters and finding a way out.
"Lets get our gym clothes from locker room" Jasmine suggested.
"Right, let's do that," Keshav agreed, his voice filled with relief at the prospect of finally getting dressed.
They quickly got out of the bathtub, their bodies still not entirely comfortable with their nudity. Staying close to each other, they cautiously made their way to the locker room.
As they entered the locker room, their footsteps echoed on the tiled floor. The room was empty and silent, which eased their nerves a bit.
They found their gym clothes in their respective lockers and wasted no time getting dressed. The relief they felt at being clothed again was almost palpable.
Once they were both dressed, they took a moment to catch their breaths, their minds calming down somewhat. With their clothes on, they felt more like their normal selves.
Jasmine let out a long exhale, adjusting her gym shirt. "Man, that was a crazy experience," she said, her voice tinged with both relief and lingering embarrassment.
Keshav nodded in agreement, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, definitely," he agreed, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
Taking one last look around to make sure they hadn't missed anything, they exited the locker room, ready to face whatever came next.
As they walked out of the locker room, they tried to act as casually as possible, pretending as if nothing unusual had happened. But it was hard to shake off the lingering embarrassment and awkwardness they felt.
Jasmine's mind was still swirling with the events of the day. It had been a rollercoaster of emotions, from the thrill of their adventure to the mortifying moment of being naked.
Keshav, on the other hand, was trying to keep his cool, but his mind was filled with memories of their time in the bathtub. The way she had looked at him, the sound of her voice, the feeling of her body against his.
