[7:32 a.m.]
Rem could see Karina in the distance.
'Actually... Before I go to the Adventurer's Guild, I should help Rina level up and while we do that, we can try to find the boss.' Rem walked towards Karina.
"Rina!" Rem waved at Karina.
"Good morning, Remie!" Karina waved back.
"Come to think of it... Rina, how come I never see you use a bow? You're an archer, right?" Rem asked, confused.
"You're right... I'm an archer but I'm horrible using the bow. Sure, I can fire an arrow but whenever I use some of my magic on the arrow, the bow and arrow would break every single time." Karina explained.
"Hmm... You seem to lack magic control. After learning how to control your magic, you will be able to apply magic to the arrow without destroying the arrow or bow."
"But how?" Karina tilted her head in confusion.
"I know how to control my magic but I'm not a good teacher... How about finding a teacher for you?" Rem offered.
"But every teacher who tried teaching me all gave up," Karina said, sadly.
"That's because of your past teachers all trash. You just need to find a good teacher. If you can't use a bow and arrow, your job would be wasted. Archer is your job after all. Let's try finding a teacher for you when we get back to school. For now, let's gain some levels. I need to go to this place that has quite some strong monsters. Do you want to come with me? You can support me and still gain EXP even if you do a little damage to the monster."
"Alright, let's go. Where is that place anyway?"
"Hold my hand. We're going to teleport there." Rem activated the teleportation stone and Karina held Rem's hand.
Rem and Karina successfully teleported to the Dark Forest.
"W-where is this place..?" Karina shivered from the anonymous aura the forest was emitting.
"We're going to explore this forest! I'm trying to find the Dark Wolf Leader that lives in this forest. While we are trying to find the boss, we can defeat all the Dark Wolves that are in our way." Rem walked deeper into the forest.
"This forest is so spooky..." Karina said as she followed Rem behind her.

After hours of searching for the boss, Rem and Karina still couldn't find the boss anywhere. Karina leveled up five times while Rem was not able to level up at all.
"We've searched almost everywhere in this forest... Where is the boss..?" Karina said, exhausted.
"Let's rest for a while here. We've only searched for the outer forest. We hadn't gone deeper yet. The boss should be in the deepest part of this forest." Rem sat on a log nearby.
"I hope we find it... Anyways, Remie, would you like some bread?" Karina sat next to Rem and offered her a slice of bread.
"No thanks. I'm not hungry yet. You can have it." Rem declined Karina's offer.
"Alright. Tell me if you're hungry, okay?" Karina said while taking a bite of her bread.
•••
After eating, Rem and Karina continued their search for the boss. They went deeper and deeper into the forest. Another hour has passed and Rem suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.
"Karina, be on guard. I can sense something dangerous over there." Rem took out her daggers and slowly went towards the aura.
"Okay... Be careful!" Karina stayed where she was and waited.
Rem crept closer to the dangerous aura.
"This is..?" Rem saw a tall pillar with many mysterious markings on it.
'001, what does this pillar do?'
{Pillars with symbols represent a dungeon's entrance. If you want to enter the dungeon, as long as you fulfill all the requirements, the pillar will activate and open the dungeon.}
'Oh, I see. So this table shows all the requirements I need to enter this dungeon..? Can multiple people enter this dungeon?'
{Yes, but only if the dungeon allows multiple people to enter. Just one person has to fulfill the requirements. The person who has fulfilled the requirements can choose who they want to enter the dungeon with. For your information, dungeons are extremely rare.}
'Alright... Let's see what the requirements are, shall we?'
[Requirements]
[1,000 Dark Wolf Bodies]
[800 Dark Wolf Fangs]
[500 Dark Wolf Hind]
'It seems I have fulfilled all the requirements. Should I bring Karina with me in this dungeon..?'
"Karina! Come over here..!" Rem shouted.
"Okay, coming!" Karina tan towards Rem.
"So, what's this? Did you find the boss yet???" Karina asked.
"Of course. We've found the boss... It's right here." Rem pointed at the stone pillar.
"Oh..! Is that the entrance to a dungeon??! You know dungeons are extremely rare, right???" Karina was surprised.
"Yes, I know. Do you want to come in this dungeon with me..?" Rem asked.
"Can I..? Aren't dungeons very dangerous? I can sense how dangerous this forest is..." Karina was worried.
"It's fine. You don't have to come if you don't want to."
"No, no! I want to enter the dungeon with you!!! I want to get stronger and level up!!!" Karina said with confidence.
"Now that's the spirit. C'mon, let's enter this dungeon!"
Karina nodded as activated the pillar. They both touched the pillar and got teleported to a dungeon.
{You Have Entered A Dungeon!}
