Adrian frowned as he looked around, he tried to stand up but he realized that he had been tied to a tree! "What the hell man!"
He looked in front of him at a beautiful blond haired woman holding a bow fully drawn pointed directly at his face as she coldly said "Give me a reason not to kill you right now!"

As to how he got in this position?
Well for that we would have to go back a few hours to when he was casually sitting on top of World playing with a Rubik's cube. It had been a few days since he had gotten Animate Plants and he was just casually passing the time.
Gobby came running up the stairs as he panted "Someone is here! She has already killed two of our brothers!" his face was full of fear and panic as he looked at Adrian.
"WHAT!" Adrian was shocked and angry because the Goblin Riders were his main form of defense and intelligence. Not only that but, he had also grown to like these ugly midgets!
He ran down World as Gobby led him to where the fighting had been taking place. He was going to help the goblins kill this woman!
When he arrived at the scene however, he was shocked because all of the Wolf Riders were laying on the floor unresponsive. None of them were fighting any longer as a woman with a bow, and emerald green leather armor stood in the middle of them.
"Oh there is the one that ran away! And a human?" she raised her eyebrow before she shot an arrow. Adrian heard a grunt as he turned to see Gobby fall over beside him.
His eyes widened as he turned around trying to run away, because at this point he realized that he was no match for this woman. He felt a pain in the back of his head and his vision blacked.
Now back to where he currently was-
"Give me a reason not to kill you right now!" the woman said

"Why do you need a reason? I believe we never offended you right?" Adrian said
"Those goblins attacked me! And from what I understood from them, you are their leader!"
"They are alive?" Adrian said as his face brightened a bit
"Of course they are! I was only using blunt arrows to incapacitate them! Unless they are deemed as an evil group I won't kill them. They are also intelligent which gives them the basic rights of humanoids"
"Well that's all you need to know right? You were intruding on our territory so we wanted to defend ourselves. We don't know who you are!"
"Your territory? So then, have you happened to see any knights here recently?" she asked as her eyes practically drilled holes into him seeing if he was lying.
Adrian's thoughts raced as he said "Of course we did, but we never confronted them."
Her eyes darted around Adrian's face looking for any signs of falsehood as her fingers holding her string began to loosen ready to release the arrow.
As she was about to release the arrow she paused as she turned towards the tree Adrian was tied too. It was actually World!
"You are lucky the tree of life is vouching for you, or I would have killed you!"
"You can speak to trees? What do you mean kill me! I never told a lie!" Adrian lied through his teeth. It was at this point he noticed that her ears were pointed, she was an elf! It was no wonder she would be able to communicate with nature.
She scoffed as she said "I am going to enter the dungeon, I am on a quest to explore this dungeon and determine its danger level. Why are you and these goblins here?"
"This is a great spot to live! There is a lake, and inside the dungeon there are good sources of food and even weaponry!" Adrian created a bullshit explanation.
"Explain to me the layout of the dungeon as far as you know"
Adrian explained to her the first three rooms stopping at the Hedge Maze saying that he has never been able to get past it.
"Thank you!" she said as she released him from his restraints "I recommend that you go to the adventurers association and get verified if you want to be living next to a dungeon like this, so this situation doesn't happen again."
She then jumped off the tree as she walked into the dungeon.
Adrian stood up and stretched as he looked for his wolf riders eventually finding them still passed out laying next to the lake. He let out a sigh of relief, she had not lied to him and they were all still alive.
Seeing this situation he knew that this woman must be a very strong adventurer! He turned on his dungeon map as he looked at the elf that entered his dungeon.
Name: Mara Alois
Title: C Rank Adventurer
Profession: Adventurer
Species: Elf
Skills: ????
Combat Power: ????
Her strength was so much higher than his that his Inspect skill was not able to give him back all of her information! He hoped that his dungeon would be able to survive. The only bright side to this situation he could find was that she said she was on an investigation request and not an elimination one.
So even if she eventually found his dungeon core that was inside of World she would not break it.
