"Here is your pass key, once you have defeated a Evil Spirit and get your crystal, bring it to the bank and have it exchanged! Be careful!"
Said the dungeon staff as she handed over to Daku the pass key to the grade 1 dungeon.
And with that, he made his way into the dungeon.
As Daku ventured deeper into the dungeon, the oppressive darkness closed in around him.
The torchlight flickered ominously, casting eerie shadows on the cold, damp stone walls.
His footsteps echoed through the narrow corridors, creating an unsettling symphony of sound that reverberated through the ancient passages.
As he proceeded, a palpable sense of unease settled over Daku. His heart raced, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead despite the chill in the air.
"Don't be too shaken boy, it's just the dungeons eerie Aura, what you should be shaken about is what hidden in it instead," Denchi said as he was floating beside.
"How's that a nice way to calm a person!" Daku said sarcastically.
Suddenly, he turned a corner, and there, in the dimly lit chamber ahead, he beheld the Evil Spirit.
It was a ghastly apparition, shrouded in darkness and oozing malevolence. Its eyes gleamed with a sinister red hue, and its form seemed to warp and twist in the shadows.
"Looks like we found out selves some company boy, that's a Level two Evil Spirit.. how unfortunately for a rookie on his first day, hahahah!"
Denchi said as he laughed stupidly causing Daku to curse under his breath, "How heartless!"
Daku's breath caught in his throat, and a shiver ran down his spine. Fear and dread gripped him as the malevolent presence of the Evil Spirit bore down upon him.
The atmosphere in the chamber grew even colder, and the torches sputtered as if struggling to ward off the darkness.
With his heart pounding in his chest, Daku knew he had no choice but to confront this malevolent force and retrieve the crystal.
He was going to become strong and survive in this word filled with Demons no matter what.
And with that, Daku unsheathe his sword, ready to eradicate evil at all cost.
*
Daku gripped his sword tightly, determination burning in his eyes
. He knew he had to become stronger to survive in this demon-filled world. With a resolute heart, he lunged at the Evil Spirit.
The battle was fierce and intense. Daku swung his sword with all his might, clashing with the malevolent entity.
The Evil Spirit hissed and lashed out with ghostly claws, but Daku dodged and parried its attacks.
Just then, as the battle raged on, Daku noticed something peculiar. A faint green glow emanated from the Spirit's back.
It must be the fixed spot Denchi had talked about, it was different unlike the shifting darkness of the rest of its form.
With that, Daku aimed his sword at that glowing spot.
He lunged forward with precision and struck the Evil Spirit with a mighty blow.
The Spirit let out a blood-curdling scream as its form began to disintegrate into dust, vanquished by Daku's unwavering resolve.
As the dust settled, the chamber regained its eerie calm. Daku stood victorious, breathing heavily but triumphant.
As just then, a pink crystal appeared at the spot where the spirit had vanished.
"Well done boy, you have just defeated your first evil Spirit and earned yourself a pink crystal at that. I'm sure the little lady Will be happy to hear this!" Denchi said as he laughed stupidly once more but Daku, rather annoyed, just smiled.
He had really just defeated his first Evil Spirit.
**
A month had already passed and now Daku had become one of the regulars at the dungeon.
During these months, he had Battle alot of Evil Spirit and now he was strong enough and more skilled enough to battle Level 4 Evil spirits which are quite hard to defeat without a solid strategy.
Because of the hundreds of Evil Spirit he had killed, he and Tana now had enough money to last them for an entire decade.
Daku, clad in a warrior's outfit, strode purposefully toward the dungeon.
His attire consisted of intricately detailed armor that glistened with polished steel, adorned with symbols of his valor.
A long, dark cloak billowed behind him as he moved, adding an air of mystery to his presence.
His hair, now longer and sleek, was artfully tied into a tight ponytail, allowing it to cascade gracefully down his back. At his side, his trusty sword gleamed in its scabbard.
Just then, he heard Tana's voice from behind, "Daku, Wait!"
She called out and upon seeing her both he and Denchi seemed surprised.
"Tana? What are you doing here, shouldn't you be at the inn?"
He asked as Tana just folded her hand and frowned, "it's my day off from work today, so I'm gonna accompany you to the dungeon, you promised to take me so take me with you!"
Tana demanded as Daku just sighed, he still hasn't gotten used to her constant bickering even though they have been together for a month now.
They had literally turned the inn to their home as Tana now works as one of the staff there to earn some money for them.
"Fine, let's go!" Daku finally gave in, what was the need arguing.. she was gonna continue to bug him either way.
And with that, they made their way to the dungeon.
As usual, he took his key pass and entered the grade 4 dungeon with only level 4 Evil spirits present.
"I wonder if they are as scary as you say!" Tana said.
"Trust me, they are even more scary, " Daku replied as just then, a loud scream was heard.
"Help me!!!!"
