"Hey Tsuki, I heard there is a dungeon near our house. Do you know about it?" I asked Tsuki about it.
She nodded and said, "I do know about it, my lord. But it's a small dungeon. No one haven't conquered it yet."
"Then why are we here, instead of that dungeon?" I asked to her.
"It's because I feel like this dungeon suits you more. I feel like only you can conquer this dungeon. This dungeon is much more deeper than that one." She replied.
"How do you know which one is deeper? It's not like you have conquered it anyway." I asked her.
"Umm, I haven't conquered them. But I do have experience challenging these dungeon. Monsters like me normally try to conquer a dungeon. By doing that, we can become more and more powerful and we will be able to have humanoid form. For us, it's a great feat." she replied with a proud expression.
I see, so that's why some of the high ranking monster sometimes challenges dungeon. Well, Tsuki used to be ruler of a certain part of this forest. So, she must have been truly powerful compared to other monsters.
"I understand. But If possible, I want to conquer a dungeon as fast as I can. So that I can build my base in that dungeon. It must be way safer and easier in that way. I will be able to get things that is necessary from hunting." I replied.
"I understand. Then let's focus on that dungeon from tomorrow. We should focus on this one today." Tsuki replied.
"I think so too." Saying that, I went closer to the gate.
The door was truly huge. There was something written on the door. But for some reason, I can't read it.

What does that mean? I don't really understand. I do understand that it's a dungeon which has something to do with infinity. So, let's call it 'Dungeon of Infinity'. As it says 'Dungeon of Infinity' it might contain a lot of floor compared to the other dungeon. Also, it's says that once I reach the peak of the dungeon, I will be able to reach the pinnacle of my race. Which means, I will become really powerful.
"Okay Tsuki, Rir. Let's go." Saying that we entered inside the dungeon.
*Ding
[You have entered the first floor of the DUNGEON OF INFINITY.]
[The map of the first floor is available. You can just follow the map to head toward right direction.]
So, I have got a map in the system. I thought system can let me know my status. But it seems I can get map too.
[It's just an additional feature. This system is specially designed for you.]
I understand. You don't have to come up with such a bad excuse.
I looked the map inside the system. It was a huge map. As the first floor is cave themed I had expected it to be large. But isn't it too large and confusing? It can easily fool a person like me.
[A floor in this dungeon is as big as the whole Indian subcontinent in your previous world.]
What the fuck!? That's impossible. It looks way smaller than the original Indian subcontinent.
[Cave themed floors feels smaller. As it is a cave type path, it just feels like you are traveling from one side of the indian subcontinent to another side. But forest themed are definitely feel like the actual subcontinent.]
No wonder, nobody were able to conquer it. Can you imagine a dungeon where only one floor is as big as Indian subcontinent and nobody knows how many floor it contains!? It's something insane.
It's something like a tunnel inside a mountain. We can only visit the tunnel part and go from one side to another side. But it doesn't mean that the whole mountain is small. It's huge. So, you can just think that the whole floor is a mountain and we can only go through the tunnel part.
By the way, how did it became such a big? I feel like it's just a normal lighthouse.
[Nobody knows how it was created. But it was created by the ancient civilization. The building is just a outer appearance. It actually connects few smaller world in it's galaxy. That's all I can inform you. You have to find out who and how did they managed to create such dungeons and galaxies and how it's operate.]
I see, thanks for the information. It helped me a lot.
It seems this world is full of secrets. Ancient civilization or whatever it is. How did they created such a wonderful thing is really mystery and I will definitely solve this.
With such enthusiasm, I entered the dungeon filled with hope.
