Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master



After the call with Kris ended, Alex continued spending his home leisurely.

Soon, the day passed and the moon replaced the sun up in the sky. 

Alex looked out of the window at this time and saw that it's already dark outside. 

"Hmm, I should prepare dinner now. I'm also feeling hungry anyway."

Alex got up from his seat and went straight to the kitchen.

Opening the fridge, Alex found that it was actually empty.

"Oh… Maybe I should go to the grocery now to buy some stocks… right now."

Alex closed the fridge and left the kitchen.

Next, Alex grabbed a jacket from his room and wore it before exiting the house. 

Alex didn't forget to lock the door and the windows before he left.

Since this place where Alex's house is located is near the dumpsite, there aren't really that many people, which also means there's fewer to no street lights around.

Because of this, it's really dark around but Alex wasn't bothered by that.

While walking on this dark path, feeling the cold breeze of the night, Alex turned his head in a particularly dark alley not far away.

In that place, Alex can hear a sound, a noise of something or someone… moaning.

Ugh… Ahh… Uhh… 

Frowning, Alex muttered, "What's this? Are they really doing it here on the streets?"

Shaking his head in disgust, Alex continued moving, ignoring the noise from the alley. 

What Alex doesn't know is that those moans aren't actually caused by the things that he thought. 

But something far more disgusting and dangerous than what he just imagined. 

… 

Alex walked unimpeded and arrived at the city center where everything can be found. 

There he headed directly towards a supermarket to start shopping.

Grabbing a cart, Alex started going around through various shelves, picking up anything that seemed good and useful.

After going around the whole supermarket twice, Alex finally managed to buy everything that he needed. 

In the end, Alex filled up a total of five big carts!

Pushing all the carts at the same time, people can't help but take a glance at Alex from time to time.

Only to get mesmerized with his looks and aura that is all thanks to his high charisma.

Anyway, Alex just ignored everyone like usual and slowly fell in line at the cashier.

As time passed by, more and more people started to pay attention to Alex. 

Even when he does nothing, he's still very attractive to all the people around.

Being the center of attention, Alex started to feel weirded out.

"Hais, my charisma is just too much…" He muttered.

Then, among the people paying attention to him, Alex noticed a few girls looking at him with phone in their hands.

By the looks of it, they are clearly taking pictures of him sneakily.

That immediately created a frown on Alex's face. 

Honestly, since the last time that somebody took a video of him fighting with the devouring clown, Alex started to have no good feelings for people like that.

So, seeing that people are taking his pictures again without his consent, Alex felt really annoyed. 

But of course, Alex didn't go up to confront them since that seems more troublesome to him. 

For now, Alex decided to just endure it but the deep frown on his face was so defined that anyone could see that he was annoyed. 

Maybe it was because of that added with his high charisma, his thoughts seem to have been conveyed to those people taking pictures. 

They looked a bit flustered and hurriedly put down their phones, and stopped taking pictures of Alex. 

Alex noticed that and immediately felt a whole lot better. 

It didn't take long before it was Alex's turn as the cashier.

Alex placed the items on the cart on the cashier while the cashier scanned them one by one.

There was no one talking around and the only sound that could only be heard was the 'beep' from the cashier.

Since Alex bought too many things, it took 10 minutes before everything was sorted out.

The cashier looked at Alex and fell into a daze for a while before she snapped out of it, saying, 

"Ah… It's ₱56,391 in total, sir."

Alex nodded and handed over his bank card to the cashier. 

The cashier received the card respectfully, thinking that Alex is someone with high standing based on his aura. 

Just as Alex was standing there, waiting for the cashier to finish, a man walked closer to him. 

It was a chubby man wearing thick glasses and dressed like a mess.

The man keeps on eyeing Alex for a while before his eyes suddenly light up. 

"Hey, aren't you the 'Clown Killer'? Wow, I never thought that I would be able to see you in person like this!"

Alex looked at the man who approached him with a frown on his face.

Hearing the man's words, Alex looked confused, "Clown Killer? What the hell is that?"

The unknown man looked at Alex in surprise and said, "You're the one who killed the clown monster back at the amusement park before, right?"

"Your video on the internet really spread like wildfire once it was posted. It was incredible!"

"Until now, people are still continuously watching that video and they have now given you the nickname 'Clown Killer'!"

The frown on Alex's face further deepened after hearing the man's words. 

Without waiting for Alex to even speak the man moved closer to him and took out his phone, saying, 

"Hey, Clown Killer, can you pose for a picture? I will post it on the internet."

Alex stared at the unknown man with a serious expression on his face for a while before turning around and looking back at the cashier. 

He said, "Please pack my things immediately."

"Y-yes, sir!"

At this time, the aura emanating from Alex is becoming suffocating for the other people around him, including the cashier.

Some of them even had the urge to kneel down but only fought it with their mind.

Everyone was affected by pressure coming from Alex which is caused by his high charisma and his current emotion.

On the other hand, the unknown man seems unaffected by this and keeps on going near Alex, trying to capture a selfie, with him in the background.

Thanks to the supermarket staff hurrying to pack up the things that Alex's bought, they manage to pack it all in just a few short minutes.

After everything was ready, Alex took one last glance at the unknown man before grabbing all the things that he bought and leaving the store.

From behind, the unknown man saw this and hurriedly said, "Ahh! Wait, please give me an autograph first before you leave! Hey! Clown Killer, hey!"

Alex ignored the man and continued moving without stopping, leaving the supermarket in no time.

As soon as Alex disappeared from the supermarket, the pressure weighing down on everyone there disappeared, making them heave a sigh of relief.

One of the supermarket customers who feel to the ground because of Alex's pressure slowly got up, saying, 

"What the hell was that? Why did a weight suddenly press upon me from nowhere?"

This customer was already an old man and not that informed with the changes in the world.

At this time, a young lady who seems to be the old man's grandchild hurriedly helped him got up and worriedly asked,

"Granpa, are you alright?"

The old man nodded then with a contemplative look, he asked, "Lisa, what was that? Why did an invisible weight pressed down on everyone?"

"That…" Lisa seemed hesitant to answer the old man but still said, "From what I heard, that man who just left should be the man on the news who defeated the monster in the amusement park before."

"So, that weight should be something from that man. Meaning, a power that he obtained from the place called Alter Dimension."

Hearing his granddaughter's explanation, the old man fell silent with a thoughtful look.

Meanwhile, the unknown man who was asking Alex for a picture earlier silently looked in the direction where Alex left.

Then he turned around and headed somewhere out of the people's eyes.

The people didn't care about him. 

Right now, they are busy talking about what just happened, filling the place with mixed emotions. 

… 

After leaving the supermarket, Alex didn't plan to go anywhere else and started walking back in the direction of his home.

For a while, Alex still had an annoyed look on his face before taking a deep breath, only then did his face go back to normal. 

Shaking his head, he said, "That video is really causing me problems until now. So annoying."

Then he said, "Also, who the hell came up with that lousy nickname? Clown Killer? Really?"

Alex continued walking with various thoughts in his head.

Unknowingly, he's already back at the alley where he heard some noise before. 

Suddenly, Alex stopped on his feet and looked at the dark alley.
