"I'll start with why everything is red then. It's because of the person that was the first to clear the dungeon and made it class up into an awakened dungeon." Psyche stated.
"Aurelian ask what his lineage was," Vel said shaking Aurelian's shoulder.
He repeated her question getting an answer from the psyche, "His lineage is called Anger & Aggression. I don't even know myself why it changed the color but it's definitely because of that lineage."
'Low-level lineage has that much impact. That's interesting.' Aurelian thought.
"Next question then when we clear the dungeon does our lineage override or coexist with his," Aurelian asked.
"Hmm, it should coexist because 1 other has cleared it after but nothing changed. So my theory is that only the first one after a class up has such an impact." Psyche responded.
"I see, how many floors are there and why haven't you cleared it yourself," Aurelian asked his next question.
"Well, it's a middle-of-the-road awakened dungeon with only 10 floors because only two clear. I haven't because my lineage isn't suited for combat." Psyche aside with a sad look on her face.
"Would you like to clear it with us, A dungeon needs 5 awakened signatures to class up to an exalted dungeon correct?" Aurelian asked curiously, 5 was the number Vel had told him.
"That's correct but I wouldn't be much help." She responded.
"That's okay this will be my first clear ever too," Aurelian said to cheer her up. Which landed him with a pinch on the hand from Vel for a quote, "Stop flirting."
"Then I'll come with you, but you're sure you can clear it?" Psyche asked.
"Mhm should be a test run dungeon for others in the future. Vel is pretty damn strong." Aurelian said nervously looking at Vel to see if his compliment landed.
"Hpmh" and a head turn away was all he got as a response. With a hidden blush as she faced away that he couldn't see.
"Well then is there anything else you'd like to know," Psyche asked.
"Well, maybe just a brief on the monster in the dungeon. Also, it'd help if I could borrow a 101 book on Dungeons in general. I never had any formal teaching." Aurelian thought while he listed all the things he could think of.
"Sure that won't be a problem. I'll grab you a couple of books from right there right now." Psyche said while pointing to the big bookshelf spanning the whole wall.
.....
Two books sat in front of Aurelian. 'The Ins and outs of a dungeon' and 'To Become Exalted'.
As Urelian skimmed through the first book he absorbed the main points.
As a person descends floors the stronger the monsters become. On the # of floors 1-5, several monsters of the same species will show up. Increasing in # of the group total per room.
Floor 2 will encounter two monsters together. While floor five will encounter 5 together.
After floor five the monsters begin to fight with different species together staying in groups of 5 until floor 15.
'Okay, so I don't need anything after that point for now.' Aurelian thought.
The next point he saw was boss monsters. In any dungeon, the boss will be a higher strength and or Race of the original 5 floors' respective monsters.
The last point that he needed was "To implant your lineage into a dungeon," first you have to kill the boss. After a door connecting to the boss room will open to the dungeon core.
Just by placing your hand on the ball, you could implant your signature.
Aurelian took in all the information from the first book in less than 30 minutes allowing him to start with the second book.
The first line of the entire book was the most important in his opinion.
"Whether a dungeon or Human to become exalted is connected. You need to give your signature to 5 different dungeons. While dungeons need 5 different signatures to class up."
The rest of the book goes on to explain more in depth but Aurelian didn't need that information. He had what he needed.
"Psyche I'm Ready to go to the dungeon now but since it's late could we stay here and tomorrow well all go and clear it," Aurelain said patting the tired Vel's head.
"This works, follow me to your room," Psyche said almost immediately.
Aurelian stood up and picked up the tired Vel in a princess carry. He followed Psyche to the floor below with a spacious room and only one bed.
Not saying anything against it he walked up to the bed that was double the size of a king bed. Set Vel down and covered her with the sheets.
Aurelian exited the room to talk toPsychefor a minute. "Tomorrow let's go at 8 meet upstairs, then we'll all go to the dungeon."
"I understand, thank you, guys, for doing this for me, I've always wanted to clear a dungeon but never could," Psyche said looking up to Aurelian standing next to the door.
"It's no worries, we will keep you safe. Also if you stay the priestess here your prestige is going to rise with the dungeon class going up," He stated.
"Mhm thank you again. Goodnight."
After saying goodnight Aurelian walked back into the room. Getting on the opposite side of the bed as Vel; he crawled to the middle and began to spoon her body.
Since she was asleep already it didn't make a scene. At least until morning, it won't.' He thought as he fell asleep as well.
The last thought he had before he fell asleep was it's time to speed run a dungeon.
