Chapter 1 - Prologue

In a world where magic is the most important thing. Magic helps people with their lives. And with magic they can be adventurers that slay the monsters that disturb peace as well as to gain profit. But to be an adventurer that person must have even a little amount of magic.

Fate Galia is a 16 year old boy who is about to get his adventurer license. Being new, he is assigned to the lowest rank, E rank. He's an average person with only two affinities and basic stats. Dark and Fire magic. Setting him apart from the others is his white hair,pale skin, and purple eyes. With the only thing he's good at is swordsmanship. This is the beginning of his journey.

At the Adventurers Quarters

After receiving his ID which could help him see his status. He looked around. The Adventurers Quarters looks just like a giant wooden cabin, difference is it has a giant wooden door, bulletin board, a counter, and some old adventurers drinking. Upon receiving his license he was invited by a strange group with 5 members mostly C rankers. The leader of the group introduced himself to him as Kai, a C rank adventurer. Kai asked him to join them. "Hmm.." he said. He was reluctant to join this group thinking that it was one of those groups that do rookies crushing as a living. But after some thought he thought that what are the chances of the group being that. "Alright I'll join you" he said.

They looked for a quest on the bulletin board and saw a C rank dungeon quest. The clearing condition was 50 goblin ears. They went and accepted the quest at the counter. As they headed out into the forest he saw that the group was mostly warriors with only 1 mage. "How do you fight?" he asked. Kai told him that the mage provided backup while all of them attack. He thought that their strategy is kinda risky and weird but he just shrugged it off.

While heading to the dungeon the came across a group of slimes. There were 7 in total. 2 poisonous slimes and 5 normal ones. They quickly go into position. Fate having a longsword joined the warriors. They prioritized the poisonous slimes. Being a complete newbie at this kind of stuff he made mistakes but after a while they finally finished the slimes off. "I'm sorry" he said. Kai said to him to just brush it off. He knew that he could get better if he trains himself more. After 3 hours they finally reached the dungeon. Kai said to wait until their Mana has full recovered. With Fate having more Mana left than everyone he was sent by Kai into the dungeon to check the entrance. He went in but as soon as he stepped into the dungeon the gate closed and the lamps turned on. He tried to open it but it wouldn't budge.

He then heard laughter on the other side of the stone door. Kai screamed "Hahahaha! I didn't think you would be this dumb. We're rookie crushers!". They then left him.

As he was about to fall into despair he then realized that by doing that he won't get anywhere. He studied the monsters so he knew what kind of stats they had. He checked his ID and said "Status".

Strength:200

Stamina:100

Magic:300

Defense:100

Magical Defense:200

After checking his status he then went down and looked for goblins. As he was about to yell in order to attract goblins he then saw a sign. "This dungeon has 10 floors. Within the 10th floor resides the Hell Blade or also known as Demon Blade" he said as he read the sign. "This is the dungeon of the Demon Blade huh? Well might as well get it before I leave. But first I've gotta finish the quest" he said. 3 goblins then appeared. He grabbed his sword and attacked them.
