* Raon POV *
T-this doesn't make any sense! How do I get lost!? I might as well keep looking around. Hmm, I only see abandoned buildings and cracked stones. This really makes no sense. I was in the less popular area of the campus when the scenery just abruptly changed. The lworst part is that my electronics don't seem to be working either. Huh? Why is there fog? Let's just hope nothing else happens.
After a couple of hours of searching I finally found something. A blurry silhouette was crouched down inside a building. When I was closer I began to hear the sound of someone crying. When I was close enough and able to make out their appearance. When I was finally close enough, they also finally noticed me.
"Huh. It's you."
"What do you mean it's you! I have a name you know. Humph! It doesn't even matter anymore."
"What do you mean it doesn't matter. Also you never told me your name remember?"
"Uh-well-that's because you have some nasty rumors about you. Also, Why do you think I would just tell you about my life!?
"Huh? Why would I want to know about your life?"
"…You didn't scheme this whole elaborate plan to get me to love?"
"What plan?"
"You know the plan to separate me from people, then to 'accidentally' find me. Then you would do this and that to make me feel grateful to you."
"Yeah, no, I have no idea what happened to make the area change and become deserted."
"If you have no involvement in this. Then, what caused it?"
"While I have a few assumptions, I still need to verify them. Well to be on the safe side let's explore together."
"…Fine, however you have to stay at least 5 meters away from me."
"What?"
"What people say you are womanizer and can't control your lust."
"While that's not true, I am fine with staying 5 meters away from you. Anyways let's introduce ourselves formally. I am Raon and a first year."
"I am Ruby and also a first year."
"Well Ruby let's start to look around and hope to find a way out."

* Leo POV *
This is unexpected. From what I remember the two people who wandered in here said that the area was a beautiful garden not an abandoned city. Well that doesn't matter much. My objective stays the same. Now all I need to do is find the other two people and we should get a little boost in ability from completing an objective of the dungeon. Well alright this shouldn't be too hard.
…
…..
…
Where could they be!? I have searched for 5 hours yet I haven't seen one of them. No I haven't seen anything other than buildings. Dungeons are supposed to be filled with monsters, treasure, and opportunities.
While I fall to the ground I notice a fast approaching shadow. The shadow clears up to be a handsome man with silky black hair and deep black eyes. He had a bow on his back and his clothes look to be torn. While surprise shows on my face I began to think about who this was. He was someone dubbed a 'Saint', while most referred to him as the 'Inhuman Saint' or the 'Devil Saint'. The reason he got this name was his lack of empathy or emotion toward people and even himself. The reason he was called a 'Saint' was because he reached the peak of using the bow. Just like people were called a 'Saint' for reaching the peak in using a certain element in magic, the sword, Alchemy, Arrays, Blacksmithing, or anything. Also it wasn't a title given from the people but from the Astral Codex. Sadly I don't know exactly what the Astral Codex is, just that it's records everything from the birth of everything to the end of everything. It even records things that are unrecordable like someone reversing Time or alternate dimensions. While I was lost in thought he gets closer to me and starts to pull his arrow back.
…
"Wait! Wait! Wait!"
"Hmm?"
"Let's talk this out okay?"
"Why?"
"I-it's more beneficial, we could work together to get out of here."
"But you are so weak?"
"Kuh! W-while that is true. I can prove to be useful."
"Hmm? Well alright let's work together."
He then puts his arrow back onto his back and approaches me. He stares at me for a couple of seconds and then puts his arm out.
"Well I'm Damion Ash."
"I'm Leo Half. Nice to meet you."
"Well what do you know about where we are so far Damion?"
"That's it's isolated."
"That's something."
"…"
"…"
What is this awkward silence! Damion seems to notice this yet ignores it. While we kept going around the area in silence. Eventually we come across one of the reason I came in here. Monsters! The mister looked to be a group of green, ugly, short and disgusting creatures. They are commonly called goblins. Yet they are also called newcomer killers. With their lustful and aggressive nature. New adventures have lost their lives, dignity and will to live. Back to our situation, I am able to see a group of 5 goblins with rusted swords. However one has a crude wooden staff. While I was still trying to come up with a strategy. Damion charges at the goblins while drawing his bow back. When the goblins notice him. He has already fired his bow, killing one of the goblins. He was able to get another arrow off before they closed the distance between him, killing another goblin. Only a few seconds has passed yet he was able to kill 2 goblins. When they finally reached him his face looked like he finally realized what he did wrong. He didn't make distance but closed distance! He's an archer for gods sake. When it looked like he was about to get stabbed by the goblins sword a flash happens before our eyes. Startled I hastily followed the source to notice two figures. One male with white hair and one female with bright red hair.
