At the foot of the staircase that would lead to the entrance of the Fairy dungeon, right after he claimed his victory over the monsters of the 3rd floor.
Beneath him was the quiet 3rd floor, with nothing left but the burned into crisp corpses of the fallen monsters. The only remaining proof of the harsh battle that took place in the dome.
The pure silence inside the cave and the sound of rain outside were occurring simultaneously in his current position.
"Let see."
"Base on the situation I have, I need a proper through for my skill points distribution."
"Almost all the monsters on this cave were wiped out, it means if I want to be stronger, the only options left are the big guys. The terrifying centipede, the power couple, and the buried fossil."
"I'm not planning to get near that centipede again, at least for now. And two is better than one. So I'm down to the Catastrophe boa. Base on the skills that the Greater black boa has, maybe it is safe to say that the Catastrophe boa is going to rely on poison and ridiculous overpowered physical attacks. But, I could be wrong."
"I'm gonna need to level up my Acid and Poison resistance to counter it, I'll level up my Pain nullification too, something is telling me it would be a very painful battle."
[Skill [Poison Resistance] and [Acid Resistance] reached level 10.]
[Skill [Poison Resistance] and [Acid Resistance] is evolving.]
[Evolution completed.]
[Skill [Poison Immunity] was acquired.]
[Skill [Acid Immunity] was acquired.]
"That's better!"
"Now that I have my Pain nullification fully leveled up, I hope I would never have a problem against any kind of pain anymore. I really hate getting hurt."
"Moving on."
"I'll put my remaining 3 skill points to my Force manipulation, the faster I am the better. I still don't know what's the extent of the power of the Catastrophe boa, and I don't think it would let me test it first. At least I can outrun it if ever anything goes haywire."
He flew towards the hole at the wall of the cave.
"It's done. What to do next?"
He went inside one of the holes.
"Gailee!"
"Let's do this! Start the evolution process!"
[Affirmative.]
[Initiating evolution process.]
"Nice! Nice! Nice!"

4 days before the current event.
At the capital of the kingdom of Ashendar, inside the castle, At the office of the adviser of the king.
Heilmer rubbed his chin using his finger while gazing at the scenery of the rain outside. The view of the capital of the kingdom was completely visible from his position but his eyes were gazing beyond it. "The monsters finally stopped from coming out from the Fairy dungeon, and the ones that managed to come out were already droved back to the cave system."
He turned his gaze to the person sitting at the chair in front of his office table.
Flint leaned his back on the chair as he gaze outside and watched the rain.
"So, it's the Fairy?"
Flint nodded. "I saw it with my own eyes. At first glance, it looks like a harmless glowing ball of light, but after seeing it killing a Hati with one strike, I'm convinced that it really is the Fairy."
Heilmer smiled as he turned his gaze back to the direction where the Fairy dungeon was located. "As you said earlier, this mythical class monster didn't hurt any of your men, rather, the Fairy saved them, implying that it is fond of humans. And if it is approachable, it can be tamed."
Flint's eyebrows immediately furrowed. "Do you mean?"
"Looks like we have to call the hero out from the battlefield after all." Heilmer nodded in agreement with his own words.

Present time.
At the capital of Ashendar kingdom where the guild of Ashendar was located. A towering dark blue structure that much enormous than the buildings around it.
Due to continuous storms, most of the adventurers were inside the guildhall. Some were drinking at the pub at the left corner of the guildhall, some were at the desk clerk at the opposite side of the guildhall to claim their rewards.
"Here's your reward, Levy."
The red-haired girl accepted the bag of coins. "Thanks."
Out of a sudden, one of the adventurers slammed the table. "What a bunch of brats!" He exclaimed while looking in the direction of the guild master's office in the room upstairs.
Everyone's attention steered at him, but their gazes were implying that they were agreeing with him.
The red-haired girl leaned towards the clerk and covered her mouth using her hand. "What's his problem?"
The desk clerk sigh before answering her question. "He... everyone is furious because the Fairy dungeon scouting quest that the guild master issued was given to the noble party... again."
She nodded. "I see, they did it again. They really love using their royal standing to get the quests that are higher for their rank. I hope they wouldn't end up in an awful situation because of it."
***
Inside the office of the guild master, Rudwick Clause.
He pushed his glasses as he darted his gaze at the 4 people sitting in the chairs in front of his table. Even with his white hair due to his age, the former refinement of his face was still visible and the black suit that he was wearing was greatly complementing his unfading charm.
Standing right next to the door was his secretary, closing her eyes while listening to them.
"Don't, and I mean don't even dare to engage in battle once you're inside that place. Just scout the place and leave if something seems wrong. Report everything you've found out to me. Do you understand?"
The 4 adventurers nodded.
"Now, leave, and be careful."
At once, all the 4 adventurers walked out of the room leaving only Rudwick and his secretary.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to let them handle this quest? Compared to the last time, this quest is way more dangerous."
Rudwick unleashed a sigh. "You forgot to include the word Father, Emily."
Rudwick stood up and Emily just followed her using her eyes.
"I couldn't do anything about them. I'm just a guild master, they are the ones on top of the hierarchy, and besides," he walked towards the bookshelf at the right corner of the office. "They need to understand that using your royalty standing to get everything you want is a fatal mistake."
Emily nodded. "I understood, Father."
Rudwick pulled a certain book at the shelf and mumbled its title. "The Fairy of the Fairy dungeon. What an interesting book."
