"Recruiting new soldiers is exhausting…"
"…but what I gained was worth it."
Alaric muttered as he stared at the floating interface before him.

"Tch… worrying won't change anything."
"If we're going to survive, we need better equipment."
The Next Morning
"Huff… huff… sorry I'm late…"
"There was a… small problem earlier."
Alaric arrived at the meeting point, slightly out of breath.
"It's fine," Gilbert said.
"The others haven't arrived yet."
Before he could finish
A figure dressed in black with purple patterns descended from a tree…
And knelt instantly.
"Allow me to introduce myself."
"I am Luca Grimveil."
Silence.
"…👍"
— Alaric
— Gilbert
— Zayn
"Looks like we're late, Leon," a young woman in brown mage robes said lazily.
"It can't be helped," replied the boy beside her, whose armor was worn and scratched.
"So you must be Yeon and Leon," Alaric nodded.
"That's right, sir," they said together.
"Good. Since everyone's here…"
"We head to the dungeon,but remember."
"Safety first"
Alaric says with a cold expression
The Hidden Entrance
Alaric stretched his hand toward a cracked stone wall.
"Krrkkkkeee…"
Two stone plates shifted apart.
A staircase revealed itself, torches igniting one by one.
SYSTEM
You now had enter
The deeper they walked, the colder the air became.
Gilbert halted.
"Sir. Spider tracks."
"They know we're here."
Alaric smirked.
"Good."
"Everyone—battle formation."
SCREEEEEE!!
Poisonous spiders dropped from the ceiling like rain.
"Frontline, advance!"
Zayn raised both hands.
"Iron… obey me!"
Fragments of metal ripped from the walls, melting into floating drones.
"COMBAT DRONES – ENGAGE!"
The machines fired iron shards mid-air.
"Yeon! Slow them down!"
"WIND LEAF BLADE!"
A storm of razor-sharp leaves tore through the spiders, blinding them.
Gilbert charged.
"For the crown!"
His sword roared with holy light.
Leon followed, stabbing clean through monster after monster.
Luca vanished into shadows.
Then—
Thud.
Clash.
Scream.
Spiders dropped before they even realized he was behind them.
Then—
The dungeon shook.
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
The air shattered.
From above descended a grotesque beast.
Eight eyes.
Venom dripping.
Spikes pulsing.
The Spider Queen.
"THIS ONE IS MINE," Gilbert roared.
"No," Alaric commanded.
"Synchronization!"
"Zayn—disrupt movement!"
"Yeon—blind her!"
"Luca—cripple her legs!"
"Gilbert and Leon…"
"EXECUTE."
"IRON CAGE!"
Zayn trapped the Queen in floating steel restraints.
"LEAF STORM!"
Leaves tore through her eyes.
Luca struck from beneath—
Crack!
Legs shattered.
Gilbert raised his sword.
"FLASH… BANG!"
A divine explosion.
Leon followed with a piercing lunge.
The Queen screamed.
And collapsed.
Silence.
Only heavy breathing remained.
"That was…" Leon muttered while sweat take over her face.
"…Intense."
"Good job you guys," Alaric said.
Zayn glared.
"You did nothing. You just stood there."
Alaric smiled.
"A king doesn't fight with fists."
"He fights with minds."
"…Tch."
Zayn said while making a sour face and looking away
Reward Chamber
A massive chest waited in silence.
"Open it,Gilbert"
