It's dark.
Pitch black, almost as if all the light was just squeezed out to the last drop.
Then, out of nowhere, a faint pink glow appears in the darkness oddly giving Cyrus a feeling of warmth.
The warmth he was getting, however, wasn't internal but external.
'Wait...'
Cyrus slowly opens his eyes and laughs, 'My eyes were closed'
When his vision cleared, the first thing that caught his attention was the pink square similar to a computer screen in front of his face. No matter where he looked the pink screen would follow his eyes.
'It kind of looks like a status screen you would see on a game.' Cyrus carefully examined the square from top to bottom noticing that it had information about him.

'So this is my dungeon's information?' His eyes shine with awe. As he scans from the top of the screen, he notices an error with his name.
'Why... is my last name blank? I might not have parents, but I still own one. It’s ____'.
Cyrus pauses for a second, unclear to what just happened. When he tried to say his last name, it was quickly muted out. If he had ears or hands, his fingers would be clearing out wax to see if it’s affecting his hearing.
'___, ___, ___', No matter how many times he would repeat it, no sound would come out of his mouth
'... I'll leave it alone for now and question it later' The next thing he notices is his money. Fuschia mentioned that he will be sent to a random world, so kolons are probably their currency. He wishes he knew how to learn more about the world he's currently in.
In the bottom right corner, there was a rectangle, which seemed to be a mirror. When Cyrus glanced at it he was shaken with horror. In the viewing, he saw what looked like to be a pink rock with googly eyes pasted on it. 'Wow, I really am a rock... but why the hell do I look like a kindergarten project?' He quickly looks away in disgust.
Cyrus had enough with inspecting the screen especially because it was blocking his view from everything else. 'How do I get this thing to go away?'
{Just say status close}
'Aaaah! Wha-?!', Forgetting that the screen blocks his vision, Cyrus looks left to right to find where the voice came from.
'Who are you? You can't just pop out of nowhere! Almost gave me a f*king heart attack!'
{That would be impossible because your core doesn't have any arteries or any kind of bodily systems}
'It's an expressi-...!' Cyrus pauses and calms down. 'Who are you?'
{My name is Pics which is short for, Pink-Intelligence Core System, I am here to help serve and guide you for all 7 years of your stay.}
'Okay Pics, next time let's not scare me half to death. Why didn't you appear when I first gothere?'
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
{I was waiting for the right moment}
Cyrus was still upset about the system scaring him, but he decided not to take it too seriously. He lets out a sigh, 'Anyways, you said 'status close?'
Immediately after, the screen disappearsallowing Cyrus to get a better view of the room especially since he's on a levitation device. He can twist and turn his body but he can't move around the room. His hopes were high for the room to not be pink everywhere, but to his disappointment, it was. The core room was filled with pink drapes, rugs, and chandeliers with his levitation device in the center of the room. Similar to Fuscia's room.
'WHY!' He doesn't have legs but if he did, he would be dropping to the floor in agony right now.
{Don't worry Cyrus, pink is a very manly color} Pics assures
He sighs, 'It's whatever. So you're here to answer any questions I have right?'
{Yes}
'Why don't I have a last name?'
{That is something I can't answer as I’m unsure as well}
"That's helpful, thanks" he states sarcastically
{You're welcome}
'I was being.... never mind. How do I get information about the world I'm in?"
{Say world status}
'World status', Instantly, a new pink screen popped up with lots of pictures. He began studying the screen and was able to understand the type of place he was in.
RODENTA (Rod-dent-ta)
Home of;
•Micells
•Ratmans
•Possumas
•Squirellets •Full of trees and water
•All races live in huts except for possumas
• Squirelets are the most peaceful out of the races • Possumas are the most creative with buildings and weapons • Micells are the weakest but have a very good agricultural system • Ratmans are the most violent, destructive and known for their power • Their currency is kolons which is similar to dollars. Kolons are enchanted leaves that came from the king tree. They are labeled differently based on the value. There are 1 kolon leaves, 5 kolon leaves, 10 kolon leaves, and so on.
'So they're just evolved rodents from earth? I don't know if this will be easy or hard.'
{If you want to know more about a certain race just say their name}
'Got it. So how come no one has entered my dungeon yet?'
{It's not open}
'What do you mean it's not open? You mean It's closed like a store?'
{Yes, right now your dungeon is not visible to outsiders because you haven't opened it yet. Would you like me to open your dungeon?}
He almost agreed until he remembered something. 'No, not yet. I still haven't checked out the first floor'
{Would you like me to guide you to the first floor?}
'Yeah do that'
Suddenly, the room started to shake and the pink room gradually disappeared. The room was now a dark and damp hallway with grey cobblestone covering the walls. Although it's not a serious matter to some people, Cyrus was ecstatic when he saw that the floor wasn't overthrown by pink.
'So where are my monsters?'
{You must summon them}
'How do I do that?'
{It's based on your element and what you were summoned with. For example, one of the blue core clan elements is water and they were summoned with a gourd that can store unlimited water. They would take water out of the gourd and shape them into mobs that either suit that element or made out of it.}
‘How would ice and water monsters fight in a hallway like this?’
{Actually, the official floor shouldn’t look like this. The blue core clan’s floors are huge rooms that are filled with lakes or icicles. The only reason your first floor looks like this is because you haven’t awakened your element yet.}
‘Maybe if I see what I was summoned with I can get a clue to what my element is. How do I find it?’
{Check your items in your self status screen. Say open status.}
“Open status” The pink screen that appeared, in the beginning, was now in his face.

After examining his items, Cyrus becomes confused. ‘It says that I don’t have any items’
{No, you don’t}
‘Gee thanks for telling me. Then what should I do?’ he groans
{What do you think you should do? You own the element}
He sighs and replays the question ‘What do I think I should do?’ Cyrus closes his eyes for a few minutes that felt like hours. Minute by minute, he would slightly feel a strange warmth and it wasn’t a status screen this time. It was an internal warmth. Along with the warmth, 8 words are repeating over and over again imprinting and burning his mind. If he was still in his human body, sweat would be covering him whole due to the intense process occurring in his head. The power within him is now surging outside of his body making him glow pink.
He reopened his eyes that were now glowing pink and spoke the 8 words that were repeated nonstop.
