---1 day later
After the system's response, Axel's been unusually happy today. Ready to get his day started, he walked out of the spare room in Angela's house, only to hear an interesting conversation unfold.
"Uncle, now that I've discovered what my true affinity is, I don't think I should waste my time using magic I have little to no affinity with!" Angela brazenly to her uncle. He was utterly shocked at the words that flew from his niece's mouth! Even though he thought the same, he didn't think his niece would blurt it out like that. It was true sadly, a person having an affinity with [PLANT] magic was pretty uncommon. [PLANT] magic also has little to no use in the healing department.
He was about to snap back, but it was like Angela could see he was about to respond. So before he opened his mouth, she followed up her sentence with, "You know Plant Magic is used for combat, it's of no use when trying to heal others, therefore, I would like to register as a Dungeon Raider!" Axel could see visible signs of frustration on both their faces. But also, what in both worlds are 'Dungeon Raiders'? While pondering on Angela's previous sentence, Axel somehow someway "forgot" to keep himself balanced as he was posing in a weird way for the best eavesdropping. In short, he fell face-first on the floor creating a loud bang that echoed through the whole house which startled all 3 of them.
It mainly startled Axel as he was thinking on the floor how it was possible that he made that much noise. He suddenly felt annoyed at how he pitifully blew his cover. But before he had the chance to get up, Angela bent over just barely revealing the tiniest sliver of what was under her weirdly long skirt. Being a male, he felt like the heavens were calling him...into a trap! Once again, Angela could weirdly see what he was about to do, so she put her foot on top of his head, as he was still on the floor.
"Axel, let's hear your opinion eh?" she said as the pressure of her foot on Axel's head was increasing. 'M-my head, MY HEAD PLEASE!' Axel cursed in his mind, and also at the heavens as it lured him into a painful trap. Why the heck was she this strong? Anyway, that's beside the point!
"U-Um, I don't really have an opinion because I don't know what a Dungeon Raider is...?" he said in an apologetic and questioning tone. Both Angela and her uncle were once again shocked.
"W-What do you mean you don't know what a Dungeon Raider is?!" they both exclaimed with their eyes an inch away from popping out. This was the second time Axel had said something utterly shocking, but considering he had supposedly lived in a cave before now, they explained what a 'Dungeon Raider' was.
"Firstly, do you even know what a dungeon is?" Angela's uncle questioned. "Ah, my bad, after all this time, I've never even told you my name. It's David." David abruptly interrupted before Axel responded to his previous question. "No..." Axel quickly responded, "Angela can you please get your foot off of my head, it hurts a lot!" Axel struggled under Angela's foot which was unnaturally hard to move for a girl her age. It was like her foot weighed 100 pounds itself.

After Axel was taught about what dungeons were, he went back into the spare room in my house with an excited expression plastered on his face. While looking at him, I noticed a faint imprint of my foot on the right side of his face. Surely I couldn't have stepped that hard on him right...? 'My foot also felt like it had some mysterious energy running through it. I wonder what it was.' I said while walking out of the house.
Actually, instead of it feeling like mysterious energy flowing in my foot, it felt like my foot was a little heavier than usual when I lifted it up. But oddly enough, as soon as I lifted my foot up, the weight I had felt immediately disappeared as if it were never there. 'I really hope that I can become a Dungeon Ra-' I thought before I heard a crash so loud it shook the entire village. Instead of running into the house to get my uncle, I ran inside to get Axel, as I wouldn't feel safe going by myself.
There was also no way my uncle would let me go investigate what created such a ground rumbling noise. As I rushed back into my home, I ran into the spare room that Axel was staying in. I also wasn't far from my home, I was sitting in the brownish-green grass under a tree next to my home. When I sneakily opened the door to the room, I saw Axel moving his finger in the air like there was a wall in front of him. Paying no attention to the weird spectacle, I grabbed Axel and dragged him out of the house.
Once again I felt like my arm and hand weighed more than usual, and as I looked back Axel was surprised too.

While I was scrolling through the shop, I noticed some pretty interesting things on there. And I also saw some extremely expensive items in the shop too. 'Demon Sealing Technique'? 'Bloodline Creator? What in th-' while pondering over the things I saw, I suddenly felt a gaze targeted towards me. Before I could turn my head, I felt a hand grab me and drag me out of the room I was in. When I looked up out of surprise, I saw Angela dragging me out of the house.
'What the heck kind of strength is this?' I thought to myself. Her hand was squeezing me so hard that it actually started to hurt which alarmed me. I could barely resist the force of her had before she suddenly spoke to me. "We have to hurry, I know that you heard that loud sound outside!" Angela said with a hint of excitement, it made me a little nervous knowing her personality. And when we left the house, she quickly let go of my arm and ran to the middle of the village and started calming the startled villagers down.
"Everything is fine everyone! Go back to your homes, my uncle and I will go and investigate the disturbance!" she said to all the villagers trying her best to calm them down.
"Are you sure everything is fine?" One of the elderly women said in a frail voice as Angela hurriedly helped her off the ground.
I was clearly perplexed as I heard no sound. I was probably deep in thought at the time, but either way, it intrigued me so I chose to go investigate with Angela. Although it was weird why she didn't alert her uncle. While looking at the situation come to an end, I could see some of the villagers were staring into the forest to the left. I looked to the dense forest that was packed with trees no matter any angle you looked at it from.
I was too focused on the forest and wondering what was in there to noticed Angela was already making her way back to where I was. "Come on, let's go before my uncle wakes up!" Angela exclaimed while grabbing my arm again. I was also as nervous as some of the villagers because I didn't know what was inside the forest, as I only went to the forest on the right side of the village. When we entered the forest, there was almost no space to walk because of all the trees.
There were also tiny animals roaming around, so I guess it's safe at the entrance of the forest.
After walking for what felt to be 30 to 45 minutes, I started to notice shadow wolves lurking around, although there were not many. And even then, this didn't stop Angela from running forward. But eventually, after no more than 2 minutes, a huge gate embedded within a stone that looked to be 15 feet wide and tall came into view. The gate rather than been 2 doors was just a portal that was purple with specks of dark pink and blue that would appear every now and then.
"Is this what a dungeon is?" Axel said as he stared in awe at the huge mysterious portal in front of him.
"Only one way to find out, huh?" Angela said while staring at Axel. Axel then swallowed the saliva that had built up in his mouth without even knowing.
