Bright headed back to the first room. Where the fog was placed and decided to sit down on the hard cold floor.
He didn't have anything to do and just sat there. He reminisced the last time he was called by his actual name Bright. He only remembered being called Bright once and that was by his childhood friend.
He could no longer remember her face but he could still remember how nice she was.
From then on when someone needed him they would call him all kinds of names. Twig,gloom kid,trash bin and everything bad under the moon.
He was still replaying his life and his eyes were a dull black and an endless bottomless Pitt that couldn't be filled for eternity.
Two figure entered the dungeon and stepped Into the fog.
[Warning! Intruder detected.]
Bright woke up from his little journey but didn't dare to move a muscle. He stared at the ground and played dead.
There was one girl who had pointy ears an elf and a boy who looked in their teenage years. They were both elves.
There eyes were covered in fog not being able to see the wall in front of them.
"Hey,sis this place isn't on the m-map.Ma-maybe we should j-just l-leave?" said the boy who was scared out of his wits. He had short blonde hair and enchanting blue eyes.
"Well there's nothing probably here anyway,we're just going to have a look around," the girl had long blonde hair and enchanting blue eyes like the boys.
The boy moved forward step by step and his left leg stepped onto Bright's leg.
"AHHHHHH, Th-there's a bo-body. H-he's dead."
The girls mouth opened to speak to the boy in utter shock when her head fell to the ground by a clean cut from a dagger.
The smouldering skeleton charged into the elf boy and started to burn his body to bits as the sword left his body disfigured.
"AHHH, Please stop! It burns! AHHH!" screamed the boy in his last moments.
Small beams of light rose from their bodies and shot to the dungeon core converting into corruption.
[Congratulations host, first raiders have been dealt with. You have been awarded 1 stat point and a d-rank sword]
[The raiders life energy has been converted into 17 corruption points]
Bright stood up and saw the remains of the two bodies. He didn't feel sad or empty but rather happiness. He felt like he did a good deed by vanquishing vermin that soil the natural world.
He saw a map dropped by the boy half-burnt and picked it up. He couldn't make out much. But the dungeon was in a big mountain called snowblood mountain.
There was no snow outside the dungeon and Bright didn't know why they called it that. Snowblood mountain was part of a natural border between the human and elves. It was the divider.
He figured the dungeon was pointing at the elves side.
The elf kingdom was called Avaloria. The kingdom controlled the East of the continent wich covered 280,000 km of land and the human kingdom controlled a 555,000 km of land on the other side.
The human kingdom called The Reinfall Kingdom. There was more markings on the burnt map around snowblood mountain. There was an orc tribe to the east and an undead zone just south of the orcs. They both lay in Avaloria.
This was all Bright could figure out from the map. Bright looked at the rewards he got. One stat point,a d-rank sword and 17 corruption.
Bright assigned the stat point to Intelligence and it increased to 7. Intelligence increases your mental brain capacity. Being able to take in more routes and scenarios. What to do each time.
Bright considered this stat pretty important while others considered it worthless.
He took a look at the sword.
[Weapon:Sharp sword]
[Rank:D]
[Strength:11]
[Weight:1.6lb]
[Skills:clean cut]
Bright was impressed by this new sword and even more impressed it had a skill.
[Clean cut:once activated the sword will be able to cut anything with Defence under 25.]
[Mana cost:80]
[Rank:C]
Bright decided to equip the word right away. The sword was 70cm long and was a clean silver sword.
He now has 27 total corruption to use but decide to wait till he got to 30. Bright also saw how the gaining of corruption was slowing down.
"Why is the gain of corruption slower?"
[There is not infinite corruption and the core is slowly draining the corruption from the mountain.]
Bright decided to react on this knowing there was more space to expand into. He removed the stone tiles from the first room and decided to expand it. The skeleton and goblin worked like slaves and finally completed their goal.
The room was now 40 metres in all directions from the fog orb and 20 metres high. The path to the second room decreased to 10 metres. The hole was now massive and was still a big dirt hole.
Bright then ordered for a narrow path to be created in the center of the wall opposite of the entrance.
Bright now had 34 corruption to use. He had decided earlier what new monster to corrupt.
[Phantom]
[Rank:E]
[Corruption cost:30]
[Description:A small figure covered in a dirty rag and a dark aura leaking from the bottom.]
[Evolution cost:50 corruption]
Bright didn't hesitate and corrupted his first phantom.
The phantom appeared in front of him. About 120cm tall and a dirt rag covered a dark aura leaking from them.
[Phantom]
[Rank:E]
[Strength:7]
[Agility:13]
[Imtelligence:8]
[Defence:3]
[Mana:200]
[Skills:Swift movement,hands of darkness]
[Swift movement:It allows the user to move at full speed without making sound.]
[Mana cost:70]
[Rank:E+]
[Hands of darkness: once the enemy is grabbed by you activate this skill and the darkness will slowly chisel away at them.]
[Mana cost:120]
[Rank:D-]
Bright was shocked at how the phantom was only E-rank and also wondered why the dungeon isn't E-rank yet and so looked at the requirements on the orb.
[Dungeon rank requiremnts:E-]
[Dungeon boss at E+ currently at E rank]
[2 E- or higher rank mobs: 2/2]
[10 F-rank or higher mobs: 1/10]
Bright used the remaining 4 corruption to place stone tiles on the first room and 4 pillars on each corner to support the room.
Avaloria throne room.
A beautiful elf woman sat on top of the throne. Long green hair and two big lumps that looked to weigh her down. She has enthralling purple pupils and an elven dress befitting her status.
"My,Queen," began an elfen boy on one knee staring at the ground.
"Two f-rank adventures have gone missing at Snowblood mountain. We think it was done by the humans."
"Send an E-rank party to investigate, it is just two F-ranks," the elfen queen said coldly.
Reinfall Royal Academy.
"Hey,did you hear the professor," said the excited boy on the left with ginger hair and round glasses.
"We are going to Snowblood mountain for an excursion," the red haired beauty on the right decided to join in.
"That's rather boring," finally spoke the black haired boy in the middle.
