"Come on you wuss, just go in there. It's not like anything is gonna happen." It was the person beside him, a young man with spiky hair that almost glistened in the sun. As if to proclaim to the world that he, and he alone, was a delinquent
The boy was crouched against the ground, his legs hanging over a ledge that led into some random cave they had found. It was all in good fun... yeah right. The boy found his back being kicked, a cry of pain echoed as he was forced into that cave.
The others followed soon after. It was all in good fun. Right? For upon their entrance, they found themselves stranded. The exit, that which would've brought light, it was completely gone.
And the only thing in front of them was a dark cave, there was no fire. No torch, no light. Nothing.
"Shit man. Wha- what the fuck is this?" Another said. He was a bald boy, had been since his inception in the womb, all 'cept for this tiny patch of hair on the back.
Should someone light a flashlight, or anything really, that bald head would reflect it all like the greatest mirror. Except for a tiny little tuft of black hair. It would've been cause for teasing and laughter had they not fallen in this terrible cave.
And soon that bullied kid reappeared. His clothes were torn, scratches marred his body and a frown further marred his face. He was haunted, by the dangers that he had seen further in.
But that was their only escape. Their exit had been torn from them, and the good old fun was gone.
"You fucker!" The lead yelled. "What the hell!? What the hell did you do?!" He was nervous, the leader of the group, and it showed in the snarling anger he brought.
"I- I-" The shy boy stuttered. He tried oh' so hard to say anything but words refused to part from his mouth.
"Stop stuttering and talk you bastard!"
"I don't know!"
Silence reigned for but a moment. The coward, that shy boy who hadn't shown a lick of violence. He had slapped his tormentor. He had grown a spine. Finally.
"You dare…"
Before either could move, before they could even bring their fists to bear. The cave rumbled, an echoing sound that startled the both of them. The bald boy fished his phone from his pocket and used the light to see around him.
He gulped. In front of him was a trigger. And he had just stepped on it. "Wha- GAH- FUCK" His body was pierced by dozens of arrows. Each of them burst through his body and pierced the ground.
He was dead.
"What- WHAT THE FUCK!"
No one quite knew who had yelled. But it was quite clear that this scream had brought more enemies, and more death.
Slimes bounced over. To another, maybe stronger man, they would've been cute. But they were neither strong nor men. And so those giant slimes approached. Menacingly.
"Fuck! Ok dude, let's put aside our differences for now to survive" It seemed that the delinquent, in the heat of the moment had grown a sort of survival instinct.
"Oh- Ok" the last boy, the only other that was still alive. The coward stuttered. He crouched down quickly and grabbed the phone, shining the light on their possible steps. Trying to find any and all traps.
The slimes were slow. Bouncing closer and closer but at a pace that wasn't faster than their hurried steps. But there was still a danger. One that neither of them knew of.
Globs of acid shot towards the delinquent. He tried to dodge at the last moment. But he was too slow. His arm was hit, a powerful pain emerged and he screamed in pain.
Maybe if that was all, then the boy would've died. Maybe if that was all then the delinquent would've closed his eyes and let the slime consume him. But that wasn't what happened.
He turned towards a weak noise. It sounded like a faint "Help..." He turned. Running and running. Only to find a pretty girl. She was small, oh' so small. The delinquent picked her up and started to run. To really run if only for the girl he had saved.
He took the moment to observe the girl. She had white hair, bordering on gray, her height was half of his. And in his arms she was just so small. But that all paled in comparison to her face. It was a face that could topple nations.
One that if they were in ancient times would've been fought for by emperors.
"Over there, then that way…" Even her voice, as weak as it was, was so... so tempting. So the delinquent followed her instructions. With the coward following too.
They turned a corner. Only to be torn asunder. Their limbs rendered useless. For they had walked into a trap. The duo's last sight, was of that nation toppling beauties smile. A ruthless smile that seemed to take pleasure in their death. She stood and black overtook their vision.

"Ah-" That's gotta hurt. I turned my vision to the slimes that were waiting in the room. They gave me these weird puppy dog eyes before turning towards the humans that had dared try and invade my dungeon. But before that.
I found myself staring at the notification that had popped in my vision. It was there for a while but I was distracted so I wasn't really able to parse it like I wanted to.
[Your |trap| has killed an ordinary human.]
[Gain |50xp| ]
Oh- That was what that burst of power was. It felt like it was halfway towards something big. I shrugged. Maybe after these guys died I would be able to level up. Oh~ That would be amazing.
The slimes belched a weird sound. Something that was almost… almost… I wasn't really sure what to call it but it was really~ weird.
"Make sure to kill one at least"
By some miracle they actually hadn't died. Their limbs were torn. Completely so that they couldn't move, and they were unconscious too. But they weren't dead.
The slime did a little nod. Cute~ Then it bounced away, taking the two with them.
The slime did a little nod and bounced off. It was cute in its own way. Even if it was going to kill one of them. I didn't really know what it planned for the other ones. I… let's just hope the slimes aren't gay or something.
That would be… ah- quite traumatic. If they were then… well I pity them. Really pitied them.
