Why?
Why?
'Why does weak get to be discarded? ' she thought.
She was abandoned by her comrades, as they said to her.
"Come on! You wanna die! Leave her and run! " they shouted with fear.
Fear from the monsters that are about to come and kill them.
'Don't leave me! Please!! ' she shouted, but cannot voice it out, since their betrayal to her impacted her too much.
Promising her that they won't leave each other behind.
She cries, and cries, as the monsters comes closer and closer.
Left alone since she was a burden to them, and she was weak.
Was weak.
3 hours earlier.
Juri Nee Yamada, is a 3rd rate C rank Power set Mage, or 3rd rate C Mage, and is the weakest mage in all the City she is lives in.
The world is a place full of Dungeon Fighters, Dungeon that pops up every once in a while, full of various different monsters in it, with a boss monster as well, so the Fighters have to slay all the monsters so it won't spread across the city, the dungeon stays after it was cleared out of monsters, so the world used this and take it as resources that is profitable.
And Juri Nee, her friends and her allies are about to enter one of this dungeon, only a low level dungeon, they are just a low level group of Fighters, with her the only 3rd rate C, 7 2nd rate E and, 4 2nd rate B sets of Fighters.
Little did Juri Nee know about what will occur on this specific dungeon.
"Hey Juri Nee, what rank are you now? After our last raid, you should be at least at B rank or higher. " her friend named Tako Mato.
Tako Mato is Juri Nee's childhood friend, after her father left her for work, Tako has been helping her in almost everything, as he once confesses to her, but got rejected by her instantly.
"Oh, well, I'm still at C rank, I can't seem to level up, I don't know why. " Juri sadly said.
Juri Nee have her hands on her elbow as she talks to Tako about it.
"How's that possible? You haven't leveled up ever since? That is your rank ever since you became a Fighter, you should really visit the Fighter's Consultation, there must be a problem with your Magic. " Tako said worryingly.
Juri Nee got flustered and embarrassed about it.
"Ah, no, I don't think I need to, besides, I don't have enough money with me for a Consultation. " Juri said.
"Well, I can help you.. " Tako was interrupted by their group leader.
"Hey, enough chit chat! There's monster approaching! Be ready! " their leader, Doka Rokka ordered the group.
Doka Rokka is a 2nd rate B Combat type, with her big twin axe, she is a force to be reckon with, despite being a lady, and thin for her to be a Combat type Fighter.
(Fighter's power can either affect the body change, or not, that is why most of the strongest Fighters here are either small, big or thin.)
They all readied for the approaching monster, and it was a Giant Lizard.
'Why's the Lizard that big? It should only be as big as human, right? Luckily it's only one. ' Dako thought.
"Tanks! Be ready with me on the front! Damage dealers ready your attacks, Rangers and Mages! " Doka shouted out in charisma.
"Yes, Ma'am! " they all shouted.
Juri then ready her spells.
The tanks on absorbs the damage of the Lizard, while some of them are dealing damage as well, the Rangers attack its head with their special arrows, while the sword equipped Fighters slashed its legs.
Of course, Juri didn't stand behind quiet, she then castes her spell.
"Blaze! " she called out.
She aimed it at the eyes of the Lizard.
"Good job! " Doka shouted.
And then Doka finishes it by slicing its head off.
"HOOO! Good job everyone! Take some parts of the Lizard that is important and salable, I'll scout around if there are more monsters. " Doka ordered the group.
"Okay, leader, be careful! " Tako shouted.
Doka then left to scout around, while the group took the parts of the Lizard that are salable as ordered by their leader.
Juri Nee just casted one spell and she was tired, she have to rely on Mana potions to keep her going.
"You should really consult your condition, that's not normal for Mages, an average Mage can cast up to 8 spells a day. " Tako suggested to Juri Nee.
"I said its fine! " Juri said while out of breath.
"I will help you pay for it, so after this we'll go there, okay? " Tako fought it out.
"Fine, you win, after this, okay? I don't really think I will contribute too much in this raid again. " Juri said as she drink her Mana potion.
"Everyone be ready! 5 Lizards ahead! " Dako shouted as she runs back to the group.
'5 Lizards? That's too much, I don't think I can handle them! ' Juri Nee thought.
'This is gonna take us forever, they're as big as the last one, since our weakest Mage can only cast 3 spells a day, and we only have 2 Mages. ' Dako thought.
"Tanks ready yourselves! Mages, Archers, and Combat type Fighters, be on your toes! " she shouted at the group.
"Yes! Ma'am! " they all shouted.
But they can't handle it, 5 giant Lizards is as strong as the boss of a dungeon.
'Can we handle this? We have to retreat! I can't risk this! ' Doka thought.
Doka then used her ultimate to it.
"Split! " she called out her skill and aimed it at the 5 Lizards.
The Lizards' feet got caught by the cracked floors and unable to move.
"Everyone retreat! We can't handle this! Go! " Dako shouted.
"What about the dungeon? "
"We'll leave this one to the other Fighters, damn it, they said this is just a Iron ranked dungeon! "
The Dungeons have their own rankings so that a specific fighters is chosen for finishing it, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond.
Iron dungeon require atleast 12 Fighters, either of the 10 4th rate D to A, or 5 3rd rate E to C, or 3 2nd rate C to S, or 1 1st rate E to S.
But the Officials' Dungeon Detector made an error for this Dungeon.
"Let's go! "
*Boom!!!*
"The Lizards escaped! "
"Quickly! Run"
"AHH! "
"Juri! Hurry up, get up! "
"My knees cracked! "
"Damn it leave her! "
"I can't leave her alone!! "
*Chop*
"Come on! You wanna die! Leave her and run! "
'Don't leave me! Please!! '
'I can't shout?! '
'Why?! '
'Please, someone, save me, I don't wanna die! '
'Father, I'm sorry, I am a failure of a Fighter, please help me, I don't wanna die, I want you to hug me tight, I'm too weak for this, I don't want to be in any danger, please! '
"ARRGHCCK!! "
*Crash!*
'Huh? '
"Looks like your in a bit of a pickle. "
Her Savior killed all the Lizards in just one attack, a tall man, a little young to be too strong, his aura is that of a whole Platinum dungeon itself.
"Looks like my aura evolved all the normal monsters here, that's a pain. "
'Even though I'm still far stronger than this things. ' he thought.
"Thank you, for saving, me. " Juri Nee timidly said, as she is still afraid and crying since she was abandoned by her group.
"Umm, no problem! " he said with a big smile.
Juri Nee laughed a bit from his big smile.
"Who, what are you? " Juri asked.
"Hmm, I'm a Dragonoid. " he said with his index finger on his chin.
'Huh? ' Juri thought with a confused face.
"Anyways, your friends are some a*ses, huh? " he said to her friends.
"Are you gonna clear the dungeon? " he asked her.
"What? "
"With me here, we can close the portal together. " he said proudly.
'I, well, he's aura is so much powerful than all the Fighters I've met so far, so I think he can solo this dungeon. ' Juri Nee thought.
"Okay. "
