In a small farming village far from a city, there live a small kid that have a big dream. Conquering the Great Dungeon of Zilore.
He is now running toward an old house where there is an old man sitting in the terrace.
"Hey hey, tell me about the dungeon again~"
"Again? I have told all of my experience to you…"
"Then tell it again!" said the kid cheerfully.
"Well okay then… Go sit first." the man sighed helplessly, but also a bit happy.
"What do you want to hear?"
"All!"
"Hahaha. Then do you know what a dungeon is?"
"Uhm…. Places where monster is?"
"Yes, that is right…. No one know why or how dungeon is made. One thing for sure is there are monsters in there. That monsters drops something when they are killed. Maybe meat, skin, or other body part, sometimes their weapon, or a magic stone."
"We become stronger when we kill monster right!?" asked the child with a sparkling eye.
"Yes yes, that is right. We–"
"And we can know how much strong we are using status plate right?"
"Don't cut when people still talking. Right, you have known it all. There is no reason for me to tell you again right?"
"Ehh~ Then tell me your adventure."
"I don't have many stories though. I was just an average adventurer, not some hero."
"But mom said you are the strongest person here. You can defeat the wild boar easily."
"Well, it is just a wild boar, any adult on this village can kill it. Back then maybe I was the strongest. But, now I am not the strongest person here. I am now old and can't move my body as easily as back then. How about my adventure? Still want to hear it?"
"Yes!"
"You know, I was interested in adventuring the dungeon when I was still small like you. At that time, I lived at Lagoon City. Near from that city, there is a small dungeon that is usually used as training ground by a team of adventurer. Inside there are many animal-like monsters. I always hear that dungeon is easy, but when I tried the dungeon, 'how can this is easy.' I train and train in that dungeon until somehow I can defeat it."
"Wow." his eyes sparkling and showed a respect toward the old man.
The old man continued his adventure story, from he beating that small dungeon, moving to other dungeon, meeting a new friend, move to other dungeon, and repeat.
"How about Great Dungeon of Zilore? Have you go to that dungeon?" asked the kid.
"No, I am not even close reaching the dungeon. I can only beat an easy and sometimes medium level dungeon. I have entered a hard level dungeon, but it is too hard for me and my party."
"How big is the hard dungeon?"
"The one that I enter is big, but there are also a small hard level dungeon."
"Then how about the Great Dungeon of Zilore?"
"From what I heard is, it is too hard to be classified as Hard Level Dungeon… There are only a little team that can beat the 5th floor of that dungeon. Also there is no team that can reach the 10th floor."
"Why no one can't reach the 10th floor?"
"Because it is too hard."
"Why not bring more people so it will become easier?"
"Ah… you know a boss? Boss room can be entered with a maximum 10 people. Because of that limitation, only team that is really strong that can defeat a boss. At normal dungeon, there is a boss every 10 or 5 floors. In this dungeon, there is a boss at every floor which make it harder to advance to the next floor."
"Woah~ I want to beat this Great Dungeon!"
"Haha, good! Maybe you can defeat it. You will become strong right?"
"Yes! I will become strong and defeat the last boss of the Great Dungeon of Zilore!!" shouted the child.
At this time born a big ambition in the child heart to conquer the Great Dungeon of Zilore.
