(?????) "Hey, boss. Are you certain we can take on this dungeon? It may be young but it is still a dungeon.

(Boss) "Relax Jon. You are ranked F plus and we got four F ranks with us. Besides this is a new dungeon, at worst it might have a couple of goblins in it. And you know what happens if we are able to destroy it.

(Jon) "That's true. With the blessing we get from this, we might be able to jump right up to D rank. So where is this dungeon?"

(Boss) "The villagers told me that it was in the mountains North of the village. They found it when they were hunting in the mountain. They haven't even entered it yet. It is the perfect opportunity.

(Jon) "OK, where are these people we will be working with then?" As I ask this he motions for me to follow and starts to walk to the center of the village.

One we reach the center of the village, I see four people waiting for us. One is a tall man with twin swords strapped to his hip and is wearing leather armor. Beside him is a tall girl with a large bow on her back with a quiver of arrow below it. On the other side of the tall man is another shorter man with robes and a staff in hand. He is Obviously a low-level mage who is still in training. The last person has his face covered by a black robe and only has a dagger on him. Obviously, just some fool trying to look cool in front of others.

While I'm looking them over the boss starts to speak.

(Boss) "We will be entering a new dungeon in hopes of conquering it. To do this we must work as a team to try and get through it without losing anyone. But remember this is still a dungeon. Even if it is low level, you must still be careful and not be greedy. If you can do this, we can get conquer it.

Now, does anyone have any questions before we enter the dungeon." After he asks this the man with the twin swords speaks

(Adventure 1) "Why should I work with you? I can just conquer it on my own and get all the rewards to myself."

(Boss) "Because if we don't conquer it right now the empire will learn of it and we will lose any chance of ever getting the rewards for ourselves." After that, he doesn't speak up again but the man dressed as a mage does.

(Adventure 3) "Why should I do what you say? You ain't more important than me."

(Boss) "As I'm the only E rank adventurer in this party, it just makes sense that I am the leader."

(Adventure 3) "SO WHAT?! You think that being rank high is all that matters? That you more important?"

Listening to the way he talks I understand why he is so low level despite knowing magic.

While thinking this I step in for the boss.

(Jon) "Calm down. He was just saying that since he has more experience he should be the one in charge of us. If you have a problem with that you can leave. As for me, I'm going to the dungeon." And with that, I start to walk towards the dungeon with boss as the rest start to follow behind us.

*5 hours later*

We finally arrive at the dungeon as the sun is starting to set and decided to take a rest before we enter the dungeon.

As we are about to enter the dungeon the mage runs ahead of us saying that he is going to be the strongest and beat the dungeon.

As soon as he hits the entrance the dungeon, the ground under him falls away to reveal a pitfall. The man screams before he hits the bottom making a squelching sound as he is impaled by the spikes and stops making any sound.

We walk over to the edge to see a sickening sight. He was impaled by around 10 spikes all over his body, one even pierced his face giving him no chance at living. While looking down at him I hear the man dressed in black starting to panic as the girl with the bow is trying not to cry.

(Boss) "Calm down everyone. This is because he ran in without paying attention to what he was doing. If we are just more careful with what we do, we can live through this."

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

(Adventure 1) "Please. It's just because that fool ran in without paying any attention to what he was doing. There is clearly an edge that we can walk on to the right. If he has not charged in we could have found it." He says as he starts to walk along the edge.

As soon as he is about half way across it, I see an arrow fly right at him hitting him in his chest. The shock of this makes him lose his footing and fall into the pit.

We simply stare in shock as two people have died and we have barely entered the dungeon yet.

It's at this point that the man in black robes finally freaks out

(Adventure 4) "What is going on? I thought that this was an easy dungeon. I don't want to die." He says before running back in the direction of the town.

It is at this point that the boss asks the girl if she still wants to enter expecting her to say no. But she says

(Adventure 2) "In my family, if you want to inherit your parents legacy, you must conquer a dungeon before the age of 20. I have to keep going." After saying that see grips her bow and faces the dungeon.

After hearing this the boss shrugs his shoulders, holds up his large sword and start to walk across the ledge.

Once he gets to the end, he waits with his sword up so we can get across without any worry of being hit.

Seeing this I tell her to start walking and start to go across the ledge. When I am half way across I see boss swing his sword and hit the arrow that was just fired at me. Knowing that it is safe now I walk to the other side and thank the boss for saving me.

As soon as the girl gets across the gap we start to walk with the boss right behind us. Noticing how short the hallway we are in is we start to speed up when I fell the boss grab my shoulder and yells out to stop.

He was too late though as the girl who's name I still don't know falls into the second pitfall. Dying faster than she can scream.

I swallow as it is just me and the boss now.

(Jon) "How have three people died in the first hallway? I thought that young dungeons were weak?"

(Boss) "They are. I think that the village lied to us about the age of this dungeon. They may have some kind of deal with it to send adventures to it for protection or something. Whatever it is after we conquer this dungeon we need to investigate that village"

(Jon) "We are still going to try and conquer this dungeon?"

(Boss) "Ya. They might have lied about the age but it still has to be relatively new or the empire would have already destroyed it. That means it can only be so strong. So stay behind me and be very careful. I don't want to lose you to this dungeon."

(Jon) "OK, boss"

And with that conversation over, we carefully go around the edge of the hallway to not fall into the pitfall. After getting around it, we carefully go down the hallway looking for any more traps.

Once we reach the first room we notice that there is something glittering in the distance. Looking at it carefully we can tell that it is the dungeon core. I take I step forwards when I notice something move.

Looking at what it was, a giant bug jumps at me. I think I'm going to die when the boss swings his sword at it, hitting it away from me. He runs at it will yelling

(Boss) "Get to the core. If you can destroy it all the monsters in the dungeon will die. Quickly I can only fight this thing for so long."

As I hear this I only hesitate for a moment before I run towards the core. Running through three rooms I'm almost at the core when I see something move in the room I'm in.

Knowing that there is nothing left for me to do I draw my sword in a futile attempt to fight back as I hear the boss scream out from behind me.
