The cold damp wind blows against his white robe as it flaps slightly. His white robe and the general darkness and gloom of this realm contrast heavily making him to stick out like a sore thumb.
The man sighed. It has been a week since he has been in the Underworld. He even log off a few times and rest up before entering again.
Aero doesn't know anything that happens in the land of the living.
Sometimes he logged out just to see updates in the Continent. When he logged out he also edited the video he has of his meeting with Poseidon and Athena.
This will be big.
He has also sent parts of the video to the station.
They were overjoyed and surprised after seeing the content and have already been planning to make it a part of a new segment in their TV shows.
And not before long they were asking for the full video. It takes a long time before Aero finally decided against it.
He then explains he could not show all the video yet.
Of course, Aero said to them not to air the video just yet. And they agreed on this matter.
In other news, his payment for the video calculating the rating and view has made him quite rich.
At least, for a college dropout.
He got twenty thousand dollars for the video. He was shocked at first after seeing the money on his bank account.
He even had to check a couple of times to make sure it is not mistakenly deposited into his account.
He underestimated his own popularity in the game
And the station reaps millions from advertisement deals so twenty thousand dollars is chump change for them.
It make Aero think that he needs to jacked up the price of his videos a bit. It seem he is the one is losing in the agreement between him and the TV stations.
They immediately draw up new contract and Aero signs it digitally.
He tell this matter to his mother to assure her not to worry about the medical treatment expenses anymore only to be told from his mother to save that money in his account.
'Mothers will be mothers' Daniel said to himself after hearing what his mother had to say to him.
It seems an organization has scouted his mother for their company and they have even offered to pay for his mother expenses.
Daniel don't know much about his mother work. The only thing he knows about his mother work is that he used to work in Tokyo and that is how she met Daniel father.
When she get pregnant she resign from her job and instead of raising him in Japan, she immigrated to the United States.
And she seems to be working in the research industry back then. Then she contracted an unknown disease and since then she have been in the hospital.
Other than that Daniel doesn't know much about his mother.
Of course he asked whether his mother can work without putting pressure on her health but she said she can do it.
And this got Daniel to think about his current objective.
So, right now, his main motivation for playing the game has disappeared. He first played the game to pay for his mother treatment, but that seems to be settled.

After a few hours of thinking about this matter and after taking a hot shower, he decided that he would play the game as a job.
A full time gamer. Well, he never thought himself as a full time gamer but if the opportunity arises why not try it and see if it works?
'I mean getting twenty thousand dollars for one video? Now that's a good bargain' He thought to himself.
He also met Michael and discuss about the game with him and his decision. Oh, and he did no forget paying off any debts he had with Michael and pay for his drinks and food that day.
Daniel was busy all day buying things he needed in his home.
Michael was shocked to know he also play the game. He asked Daniel whether they should meet in Brave World.
Daniel could only said to him that right now he is in the middle of a quest and could not meet for a while in the game.
Michael understands and said anytime Daniel wanted to meet in Brave World just contact him.
He still walking forward as he is reminded that he is now still inside the Field of Asphodel.
To be honest he thought he would feel his body experiencing extreme hot or extreme cold in the Field of Asphodel.
Aero also even thought if there is any mythical creature that roams here and he thought he would meet some of them already.
But there's nothing like that which adds to his disappointment
But to be honest he is quite surprised. It was like a city down here.
City of the dead of course but still a city.
It looks like no different from the city in any Kingdoms. The difference is, there is no light here.
Just darkness and gloomy feeling all around. It like its night all the time. There is no place to go entertain yourself.
No festivals or festivities.
In other words, it's utterly boring and utterly dead.
In the underworld, the identity of a dead person still existed, but it had no strength or true influence.
Rather, the continuation of the existence of the soul in the Underworld was considered a remembrance of the fact that the dead person had existed, and while the soul still existed, it was inactive.
It seems like a sad way to live after death.
But the people in here retain their age.
They didn't really change in any sense.
They did not lead any sort of active life in the Underworld – they were exactly the same as they were in life.
Aero also came to a conclusion.
Those who had died in battle were eternally blood-spattered in the underworld and those who had died peacefully were able to remain that way.
For this past week he have been fighting dozens of warrior and honing his battle skills and levels.
Dead warriors.
They don't drop loot but they do give a lot of experience more than the usual monster. In just this week he have raised his level to 20 level more.
He remembers two days ago when he had to kill about forty warrior from which era he doesn't know.
He was almost overwhelmed by their attack and their disregard for the damage they taken or inflicted on their body.
He still remembers it.
On the starless sky, (if you could call it a sky, in the Underworld it seems there is no indication that there a sky under here.)
The cold and gloomy atmosphere doesn't help of course. The spears and sword of this dead warriors glimmered under the eerie obsidian light.
The warrior then swarmed him like they were hyenas.
Jumping and attacking seems to be the only way he could get out of it alive. Even when he killed a lot of them, their leader rally against him with defiance.
But still he won.
But that doesn't mean he is not afraid of them. After walking a few kilometers, he saw another swarm and Aero clicked his tongue.
He looked around and spotted a cave
Quickly he dash as silent as possible and went into the cave, hiding inside it.
One thing he didn't know is that the dead don't stay dead long here.
When he killed a warrior they just reformed back in one hour. And that is fast. This couple of days he have been chased by this angry mob warrior that he killed in the beginning.
Thankfully Athena sent some gifts. Food and general supplies. And he was also given ambrosia by Athena.
Usually when he woke up from his sleep the ambrosia was already in front of him.
Ambrosia is great. It gives permanent strength stats.
For every time he take a sip his strength rose to 10 points. He also only need to take a sip once to last for a day.
But Athena warned him not to drink it too much because it could burn him from inside out. That would surely not be a pleasant experience.
Without the Sword he had to rely on Sacred Sword Skill Finger. The Howling Dragon saber on the other hand has requirements of being level 180 before it could be used.
Then Aero opened his status window to check.

After a week he finally has a clue about his current task. When he was disguising as a dead soul a few days ago, he ask many souls if they ever heard of Deria.
Finally he heard that Deria is in a hut in the hill, just sitting around in his hut practicing swordsmanship.
Now after sipping a cup of ambrosia, Aero started walking out from the cave, his feet walking to the hut.
