"Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh"
They all scream as they continue too fall into the hole that suddenly appeared.
#Shadow step
#Otherworldly creation!!
#Shadow steps
All of them tried using their skills to get out of the hole before falling but weirdly their magic was nullified.
Just as they were about to cast it, their magic broke down and they all continued to fall.
"Waaaaahhhh!! How deep is this hole?"
Noto screams as he falls with drops of tears hanging around his eyes
"Zan its not time to make jokes
Zae with closed eyes
"Eh?"
Noto confused
"Ehh?"
Zae confused as well
Kiri sighs
"Ahhhh!!!!!"

SFX:Bump bump bump
"Aww aw aw..... What? it didn't hurt at all"
Zae while grabbing hold of his back and standing up
"You're right, the fall didn't hurt at all"
Kiri adds.
They all rubbed and brushed off the dirt on their clothes.
"Where are we?"
Zae looks up
"The hole seems to have been covered up"
Zae adds
"Do you think this might be a dungeon?"
Kiri asks with a happy and curious expression
"It might be, but i sense no monsters nearby"
Zae adds but as soon as they were trying to figure where they were in a sudden notification popped up
(You have entered the Dwarven crystal mine:
Since you are the first humans to have discovered it, the ownership of this mine has been handed over to Kiri, Zae and Noto)
(28 notifications available
would you like to view them?
YES or NO)
"Eh? what? crystal mine? Like the crystals which is used as currency?"
Noto asks with a shocked expression while taking a step back
"There are more notifications, open them Zae"
Kiri also with a curious and excited face

(Kiri,Zae and Noto has formed a party. Every experience gained and items drop will be shared among them without division)
"Hmmpph, other than the skills we learnt we got more than what we could ever imagine"
Noto with a smile and a face of unbelieve
"ha ha ha We got a very big land just for ourselves, should we sell it?"
Zae with a disbelieve look on his face.
"This system is something else, It even gave us the ownership proof for this land, It really is ours now"
Kiri also with a shocked face.
Since all of them were students and did not have a rich family background. The thought of them owning a multi billion dollars property was just a huge strike of shock to them. They all couldn't believe what just happened.
Just as they were trying to accept that they were now the owner of a huge piece of land, another notification came in

"We got more stat points plus we even got a new title, but this one is quite useless don't you think?"
Zae with an unwilling face.
"Don't say that, atleast we got something. It is better than nothing"
Kiri replies with a cold face
"Guys????...what's..th...a....t be...hin...d ..... you?"
Noto while his whole body shivering and teeth rattling due to fear.
"What? What is behind us?"
Zae asks calmly
"Just look behind you"
Zae and Kiri turns their head calmly to see whats behind them and this is what they saw.
"There's nothing there"
Zae with a calm face
Meanwhile Kiri vanishes using shadow steps
"Eh?where is Snipe?"
Zae looks at the direction of Kiri but he couldn't see him. He then turns around towards Noto's direction
"Zan did you se..."
"Eh??"
Both Noto and Kiri was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly from a corner, two familiar faces appeared. It was Noto and Kiri
"What are you guys doing there?"
Zae shouts and asks
A huge and dark shadow with red eyes started forming behind Zae it was very huge, nearly 20 times the size of a normal human
Zae with a smirk
"You guys can't fool me! did you forget that I have extreme sense"
Zae while lifting his hands up to his waist and slowly walking towards Noto and Kiri
"Just look back"
Noto pointing towards Zae with a purpled face filled with fright
"Like i said there's noth....ing behind me.....Ahhhhhhhhhhhh"
Zae just turned back with full confidence that nothing was there behind him but to his astonishment he saw a very large shady and grazed shadow of a large yet thick and tall yet short figure. All his mind could tell him then was that what he saw was a ghost since he was not able to sense anything even with his extreme sense.
Zae started running at his full speed with tears hanging on his eyes. He was running like a little 6 year old loli who was being chased by a lolicon (don't call the FBI)
Just as Zae reached the halfway point between Noto and Kiri's position a deep and soft voice called out
"Masters"
Zae stopped with an awkward expression on his face. Even Noto and Kiri who were clearly afraid of the shadowy figure were ridiculed.
"Eh? What did he call us again?"
Zae with a very awkward face.
"Masters, The new owner of the cave of origin, Welcome"
The shadowy giant figure started to clear out. It was clear now, the shadowy figure had a large mustache and a huge beard, his hair was also very long and rough, unmated and brown in colour. He has a very masculine body. His body was so huge that the cave seemed like a small sewage path to him. He was bowing down while giving his regards to Zae, Kiri and Noto his new masters. Yes no doubt the shadowy figure was a dwarf. A giant dwarf at that.
"Who are you?"
Zae with a very hesitant voice
"Master, I am from the giant dwarf race and is the guardian of this cave of origin."
The giant dwarf replies
"Ahheemme ahemm ..... what did you mean when you said this cave of origin?"
Zae asks hesitantly
"Let me explain master. There are many cave of origins spread across DuoCroZan. Each one of them is guarded by one of our kin and the contents of each cave of origin is different. This one, the cave of origin that I am guarding is also known as the crystal cave, It has huge deposits of the origin crystal and you may use them as you like now since you are the masters of this cave of origin now"
The giant dwarf replies
"By crystals you mean!....."
Zae asks while Noto and Kiri slowly approaches Zae aswell
"Yes master it is as you thought, the origin crystal can be used to make the crystals which are used outside as exchange medium"
The giant dwarf replies
"Well thats convinient, uuhhh... ohh you can stand up now, no need to bow down when you see us next time you can stand and talk to us normally"
Zae appeals to the giant dwarf
"Many thanks master"
The giant dwarf stands up with a sincere face on him
"Oh tell me what your name is"
Zae asks
"I'm sorry master I don't have a name but you can call me 69, that's my serial number as the guardian"
69 replies
<69!!>
"Hmmmpphhh"
All three of them suddenly changes their serious face into faces which were trying their level best to control the burst of laughter that was about to come out
"We'll just call you Hugo from now on if that's okay with you, ummmmm.... 69 is quite uncomfortable for us"
Zae catches his breath and was able to control his laughter while Noto and Kiri were both trying their best to control it
"Are you guys okay with it as well?"
Zae asks as he turns back showing them a facial sign telling them not to laugh
"ahh huh? yes sure Hugo right its a perfect name"
Noto catching his breath
"If that is what you wish master!! from now on I the guardian of crystal cave will be called Hugo the 69"
Hugo replies proudly
"I can't.... hahhaahahahahahahah no i can't control anymore..."
"Hahahahahahahahhaahhahah"
Kiri and Noto bursts into laughter as soon as they hear Hugo declare himself with the name Hugo the 69 even Zae started laughing along with them
"Whhhaaa .....whats wrong masters? did i say anything wrong?"
Hugo was flustered, his sincere face showing some shame
"No, No you said nothing wrong just stop using 69 with your name
Zae replies while wiping his tears off
"Ahh!! As you wish master"
Hugo responds
"Oh by the way i meant to ask you this before but why couldn't I sense your presence before?"
Zae turns serious all of a sudden
"Oh, the thing is, the guardians of the cave of origin were all bestowed skills that could completely seal of their presence, stats and skills so even if you wanted to look into us by appraisal you won't figure out anything"
Hugo replies
"Oh so that was the case"
"Oh and whats your level?"
Zae asks
"We guardians don't have levels master, but our strength is comparable to a level 400 if you want reference"
Hugo replies with a straight face
"What a level 400?"
Zae shocked along with Noto and Kiri. They were relieved at the same time since the guardian was on their side. If it were an enemy they were surely going to die.
Zae with a serious expression
"What happened master?Oh it may be impolite of me but may I know the master's names?"
Hugo asks as he bows
"No need to bow, stand up. As for my name, I'm Zae Crozo"
"I'm Noto Zanshi"
"Kiri Duori here"
They all replied simultaneously
"Very well master Zae, master Noto and master Kiri. Allow me to show you the way to the contents of the crystal cave"
Hugo as his fun filled face suddenly turns to sincerity again.
"Oh yea you lead the way Hugo I wanted to see what this cave has to offer to us too, who knows it might be a haven for Noto"
Zae with an excited face
"Lets go guys"
Zae looks back and calls for Noto and Kiri
"En"
Noto and Kiri nods and starts following Hugo along with along with Zae.
A few moments later, all of them reaches a huge gate which was made up of giant wood and pillars made of some iron alloy. The gate was covered with crystal veins which was engulfing the gate like mosses growing on a rock surface. The gate was twice as large as Hugo and many times taller than him
"We're here?"
Noto asks as they all look at the large gate with amazement
"Yes masters, this is your new inheritance"
Hugo replies with sincerity a little while after which he pushes open the gate.
Zae, Noto and Kiri's face was filled with amazement and wonder as they saw what was inside of that huge gate. Their eyes shone as they saw little by little of the things that were inside when Hugo was pushing the gate open.
