Clearing the dungeon was my first real adversity since coming to this world where I could have really died but thankfully I was more than prepared.

Now that I was done with it and got the reward I was desperately after I could finally move on to bigger and greater aspects.

However, before that, I had to find a way back to the city… unfortunately, I didn\'t know how to drive and there was no one around to help.

Before I transmigrated into the novel I was too young and also I had my own personal driver. Now that I\'m here I never had the chance or really any reason to learn.

Putting the need to learn to drive on one of my priority lists I looked over at the black SUV and shrugged, how hard could it be…

[3 days ago.]

Charlotte was currently exploring the city. Since Lucas wasn\'t around and it was the weekend Charlotte didn\'t want to spend any more time in the academy.

She was exhausted from all the attention she was getting.

Sometime after Lucas left a video began spreading around the school and it immediately went viral.

Apparently, someone had recorded the incident at the gym which proved that everything was truly a misunderstanding.

Lucas had simply pushed himself to the limit and Charlotte had just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Even if she wasn\'t there it was clear that Lucas would have fallen off either way.

The video also clearly showed that nothing inappropriate happened between the two.

With the truth coming out Willow also publicly came out with an apology saying that she overreacted and hoped that Charlotte could forgive her.

Yet what confused Charlotte the most was how fast Willow\'s reply was. She managed to issue an apology and have it ready to post before Charlotte even had the chance to watch the original video.

However, Charlotte chalked it up to Willow wanting to protect her public image as much as possible, so she figured Willow posted an apology as quickly as she could.

In the end, the drama was spreading even more than it had when the accusations were made in the first place.

Due to everyone and their mother knowing about it and wanting a response from Charlotte she felt overwhelmed and decided to leave the academy for the weekend to take a break.

Plus she already had business that she wanted to take care of that could only be done in the city.

In addition, she knew the dungeon Lucas was exploring was near the city so she secretly hoped that the two of them could meet up when he finished.

That\'s why she had been spamming his messages waiting for a response. Although she knew he wouldn\'t get them in the dungeon since there was no service she still wanted to send them as they gave her some peace of mind.

Walking through the city she found the building but she wanted to wait till there was no one around before entering.

However, that was much harder than she expected because of how busy the streets were so she ended up spending the entire day at a cafe across the street.

When night eventually came around and the stores were just about to close and the majority of people were back in their homes Charlotte finally made her move.

She crossed the street and opened the door to the place before quickly closing it shut behind her as if she was embarrassed.

When she eventually left the building her face was bright red and there was a single bottle of pills in her hand.

She quickly swallowed one of the red pills before hiding the bottle in her personal spatial ring.

"Hopefully it won\'t take too long..."

But before Charlotte could even finish her sentence her face somehow got even redder and she took off running trying to get as far away from the store as possible.

Inside the store, one of the female doctors couldn\'t help but shake her head wondering where the girl\'s parents were. Yet she didn\'t have the authority to question someone of Charlotte\'s backing so she only did as she was told.

Charlotte managed to find a hotel to stay at and in the morning she spent the rest of the day shopping for clothes, eating at fancy restaurants, and texting Lucas.

She made sure to update him on every little thing she did because she knew how stressful going into a dungeon could be so she hoped that when he came out safe he could relax while reading her messages.

Eventually, the night came and went and she still didn\'t hear anything from Lucas which started to worry her.

Since the weekend was over it meant classes would be starting up again and since Charlotte spent the night in the city she would have to get up early to make it back in time.

However, she didn\'t set an alarm and ended up skipping classes for the first time in her life.

Although her heart was pounding from feeling like she was doing something wrong her heart hurt more since she had yet to get a reply from Lucas.

It was already midday on Monday and on Wednesday the entire class would be going into another dungeon.

She knew Lucas wouldn\'t want to miss out on it but she also knew he was running out of time if he wanted to get some rest between adventures.

Due to those reasons, she decided to stay in the city and wait to hear back from him plus she still didn\'t feel like facing Willow.

It wasn\'t like a simple apology would fix everything but it was also true that Charlotte was pretty much over the matter.

Although she missed her friends that she used to hang out with it was clear that if they weren\'t willing to stick with her during her worst then they weren\'t true friends.

In addition, the incident might have seemed like it ruined her social life but she was still thankful it happened because otherwise, she would have never had a chance to get so close to Lucas.

Their relationship had been progressing at an extremely fast pace and she was head over heels for him and at this point, she couldn\'t imagine her life without him.

So she patiently waited in her hotel room while waiting to hear back from him and prayed that he was safe.

After all, she needed him... desperately...
