"It's a normal grade staff; it just looks pretty,

" Ryder responded casually.

n

"Can you sell that to me? I'll give you a different staff and some money as well,

" Mimi123 told Ryder.

nEven though all three mages liked it, she was the only one to ask to buy it proactively.

n

"I can't sell it, but thanks for the offer,

" Ryder rejected straight forward.

n

"Money is not an issue; think carefully,

" she said again.

n

"As I said, I don't want to sell it,

" Ryder replied.

n

"As you wish, I won't force you, but just remember that you missed the chance of selling a normal grade staff for 10000$. Even higher grade treasures would be cheaper than it on the outside,

" she told Ryder, but Ryder simply smiled and didn't react.

n

"Now that we've introduced ourselves, we should get going. The faster we go, the faster we can finish it,

" Shu said to everyone.

nThey all agreed and started walking towards the dungeon.

n'Your Highness, I have a question. What is a dungeon?

" Rale asked Ryder.

n

"A dungeon is something like a building or a cave inside which monsters hide. Adventurers go there to hunt the monsters, which give them experience, and that makes them stronger,

" Ryder informed Rale.

n

"Oh, so it's something like a monster cave. We have those in our place as well. Your Highness can go there if he wants to get stronger,

" Rale informed Ryder.

n

"I heard about that, but I also know the level of monsters there,

" Ryder let out with a wry smile on his face.

nThey got to the Dungeon after walking outside the city.

nThe dungeon was inside a forest. The whole forest was covered in plants and trees, which made it difficult for them to find the dungeon even though they had the coordinates because of the quest.

nThey got to the dungeon after searching for a while.

nThe Dungeon looked like a cave that went underground.

nShu pushed the door and entered first. The others entered after them.

nNotifications started appearing one after another for everyone.

nDiscovered a dungeon

nFirst team to find the Dungeon of the South; Fame Points 50

nEveryone got an increase in their fame points.

nFirst team to find the Dungeon of the South; Strength 10 for next 30 minutes

nThey got another notification.

n

"Incredible. Now I have fame points as well. We should be able to see our names in the fame points ranking,

" one of the mages said.

n

"Hey guys, umm, I just noticed it, but the 2nd person in the Fame Ranking seems to be Hades?

" a priest exclaimed in surprise as she looked towards Ryder.

nThe others also started looking at Ryder.

n

"Now that you mention it, I remember. The first person to pass the novice village was Hades. Are you that Hades?

" another person asked Ryder as they looked at him in shock.

n

"I should be the one, yeah,

" Ryder responded.

n

"You're first in the weapon ranking as well!! Incredible, I never knew we had a top player with us. Big Daddy, did you know it?

" PokiChu asked Shu.

n

"Of course, I knew it. Do you think I wouldn't know about such a big thing?

" Shu chuckled as he responded.

n

"What's so special about that? He was lucky in the Novice Village and managed to pass first and get a unique grade weapon, but so what? After leaving the village, he had only fallen behind Lucifer. Look at the fame ranking. He has 300 Fame Points, whereas Lucifer is at 700 Fame Points. There are many more players that are about to overtake him in fame points,

" one of the warriors said.

n

"His level isn't that high either. Only one or two levels higher than most of us,

" another warrior said.

n

"You should focus more on the quest than focusing on me,

" Ryder responded.

n

"That's right. Our main mission is to finish the dungeon. We can talk about other things after we come out,

" Shu said to everyone.

n

"Let's talk about our formations. Warriors should be in the lead, followed by archers and mages that will fire long-range attacks—priests on the back to heal us and buff us. I'll do the recon at the front,

" Shu suggested.

nThey all agreed as they started moving deeper into the dungeon.

n

"There are goblins up ahead. They are level 11-12 monsters. Be ready to battle,

" Shu came back and informed them all.

n

"Alright. Let me attract their aggro with my Taunt and defend. You can kill them in the meanwhile,

" Mountain Man, the level 12 warrior, said.

nThe Warriors used their skills to attract the attention of the goblins.

nFive goblins ran towards the warriors, but mages started bombarding them with their spells.

nIt took four spells for a mage to kill a goblin, but when Ryder used a fireblast, only one attack was enough to blast the goblin to smithereens.

nA few people noticed it, which shocked the ones that saw them, but they couldn't be sure if it were because of Ryder's attacks as every goblin was stuck with at least one or two attacks from the archers and the mages.

nThe fight was shorter than their expectations and finished in a few minutes.

nThe goblins didn't drop anything, but they did give experience points. The experience of killing a level 12 player was significant for the others, but it was like a droplet of water in a pond for someone like Ryder, who was a level 40 player.

n

"That went great. If we worked like that, we could probably finish this dungeon much faster,

" Shu said as he chuckled.

nThey started walking deeper into the Dungeon and faced a lot more goblins, but after an hour, they managed to reach the end of that floor.

nThey had finished the floor, and there were stairs ahead of them, which led to the underground levels, but none of them stepped on the stairs.

nThey all drank their potion to recover their mana and their Qi before stepping down.

nRyder and Rale were the only ones that still had most of their mana. Rale followed them from some distance, but he didn't involve himself in a fight as per Ryder's instructions.

nThey got down to the next floor.

nThe monsters on the second floor were Snow Star Wolves along with Giant Orcs that carried clubs in their hands.

nThey kept killing monsters as they went further. From the first floor, they went down to the 5th floor.

n

"Do any of you know Lucifer's level or any information about his whereabouts?

" Ryder asked the other players as they moved forward.
