Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Leveling Up Begins

Night had just fallen, there was a dense fog in the air, and a group of young people were looking for a dungeon to level up.After some searching, they realised that there was a dungeon door just below the railway station.The eldest of them immediately jumped out:

"The colour of the door is red and that means that the difficulty level of this dungeon is beyond us."

Another young man from the group came forward and said:

"How do you know that, you old geezer?! You can't know that without going in. I'm going in!"

The elder said again:

"I can't allow that, your rank is not even enough here, we can go in search of another dungeon, what do you say?"

"Damn it, man, we've been looking for a dungeon for 2 hours and we finally found it, let us take a look inside, if you don't want to come, you can stay here, but if you want to come with me, come to my side."

All of the other youths took the young man's words to heart and went over to his side, and together they passed through the dungeon door.The door disappeared as soon as all of the youths entered.The elder of the group thought that there was no point in staying here anymore, and just as he was about to leave the railway station, he saw something he never expected on the ground.It was the heads of all the youths who had just entered the dungeon.The elder of the group became agitated, muttering to himself:

"I told you not to go in, you didn't listen to me!!! What am I going to do now?!!!

The elder of the group had a huge shock attack, and he collapsed on the floor. Everything was like a dream. And even before the ambulances arrived, he died.

"Dad, isn't this bullshit boring? It's always the same, tell me something different."

"Who said it's all bullshit, kid? Believe me, it's real." said the father.

Yes, I'm Draken Nightfall. I'm an E-rank dungeon hunter. I'm not very good at this stuff, but for some reason I like doing it (even if I get hurt very quickly). My dream is to become an S-rank hunter one day, and of course, to make a good contribution to my family!

"Mum, I'm off. Have a nice day." said Draken.

"Yes, I love my mum a lot.Sometimes I even get into arguments with my dad when I tell him how much I love her.Ahh, I love my family.I also have an older sister who is 2 years older than me, and yes, she is popular in her school.Sometimes I don't understand her at all.I wonder what it feels like to be popular?"

Draken set off on foot for the headquarters.What adventure awaited him today?

When Draken reached the headquarters, he realised that the teams were already formed, but there was still someone who wanted him on his own team and had already reserved his place. This name was Dimitri, a C-rank hunter. Dimitri was a young, muscular, and slightly joking type in his 30s.

When Dimitri saw Draken coming, he said:

"Oh, there you are, E-rank brother!!! I've been waiting for you."

Draken melted a little bit:

"Stop calling me brother, you muscular pig!"

"As much as it breaks my heart when you call me pig, no I won't stop calling you brother!!!" said Dimitri playfully.

Draken asked the question anyway:

"Why do you always want me on your team? There are better men than me."

Dimitri gave Draken a proud look:

"Because you remind me of my dead brother. Every time I look at you, I feel like I'm looking at him."

Draken was very saddened by this and started to look at Dimitri in a different way.Now everyone was out in search of a dungeon.In Dimitri's group there was Draken, a girl named Lydia who was a healer, a hunter named Russel who was like a tank, and Skyler, the shooter of the group.

Dimitri said, holding his face to the group:

"Come on, boys and girls, let's go dungeon hunting."

All of the groups set off, Dimitri's group preferred the city side, and they continued their search. As the search continued, Draken approached Dimitri:

"Forgive me for asking this, but how exactly did your brother die?"

Dimitri hesitated for a moment, but immediately answered with a smile:

"You can ask anything you want, Draken. And as for my brother, one day he went with a group to look for a dungeon. And they found it, but the elder of the group saw that the dungeon was red and warned them not to enter it. Of course, since my brother loves action, he was the first to object to this and they entered the dungeon by gathering the others. But according to the elder of the group, just as they were leaving the train station, he saw their skulls on the ground dead. My brother was among them... Damn it!!! I shouldn't have left him alone. I don't even know who killed him. What kind of a brother am I!!

Draken said holding Dimitri's hand:

"Don't blame yourself. How would you even know? It's all because of the band's inexperience. So don't blame yourself. Life sometimes takes away your favourite things the quickest. Don't forget that. "Brother."

Dimitri's eyes welled up, but he quickly wiped them away:

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's speed up the search!"

Don't think I didn't realise, yes, the story is almost the same as the story my father told me, but who knows, maybe it's a different story.

As the group continued to search, Draken started to look for more unknown places. While looking around an old castle, he noticed that there was a dungeon door, he informed the others, and everyone gathered here.

Dimitri looked at Draken and said:

"Well done son, now it's our turn!"

The group entered the door of the dungeon.And they came across a large place.This place was almost an ice cave.Each side was like crystals.The others began to collect these crystals.At that moment Dimitri and Draken were examining this place.Dimitri Looking at Draken:

"There's something strange here. Something's not right."

Draken and Dimitri immediately turned back.A horde of goblins attacked the group, they were still alive but Skyler, the marksman, was wounded.Dimitri and Draken ran to help but unfortunately, Draken was wounded in his first attack.

"Fuck, why am I a hunter? I can't even kill a normal goblin..." he said as he was about to cry.

"Lydia, heal Draken now!!!" shouted Dimitri.

Lydia was trying to heal Draken. The goblin had wounded Draken in the stomach.

"Ahh, why am I like this?!!! I wanted to be strong too...Fuck!!!" shouted Draken.

Lydia said in a trippy voice:

"Please don't put yourself down like that, Draken. I love you just the way you are, and no matter how hurt you are, I will always heal you. Please remember that. And if you put yourself down again, I won't talk to you at all, you know that!"

Draken smiled a little, and Dimitri had cleared out the entire pack almost by himself.Dimitri moved closer to Draken:

"Are you all right, brother?"

Draken said he was fine, just a little. And Dimitri levelled up, cutting goblins. Lydia healed all of Draken's wounds. Dimitri said he wanted to rest here for a while. And the group took a break.

"Yes, I haven't levelled up yet, but,I won't give up! One day, I'll be strong."
