13 Firstborn (2/2)
Dilya sat down across from the firstborn. She looked at him, wondering what it was. ”What is it?”
The firstborn leaned forward. ”The scouts came back this evening and they found something in the forest.”
”Well? Tell me,” Dilya said, nodding up and down.
”They found a building called a dungeon. It was small from the outside, but when one of them went in, they found themselves in a different jungle. The system also said that this was only one of many levels, and if someone managed to reach the last level, then the system would grant that person something they desire.” the firstborn told Dilya.
Dilya raised her eyebrows hearing this. ”Kerym, if this is true, then we need to get to the last level. Think about what we could do. We can help our people with this.”
Kerym nodded. Like his sister, he also wanted what was best for his people, especially since he knew that while he was the strongest, it was only to his people. The monkeys of the jungle were much stronger than them, with the strongest being double his level. ”I was thinking that we would leave tomorrow morning.”
Dilya nodded back. ”Tomorrow morning sounds good, but are we the only ones going?”
Kerym shook his head. ”We might be one of the strongest, but this dungeon is completely unknown to us. I'll be bringing a level 30 guard named Aien. Do you have anyone you would like to bring?”
Dilya smiled. ”Yes, I do. He's a person blessed by the Goddess of Magic, Aphy. His name is Kigai and he can control the shadows.”
Kerym raised an eyebrow. ”Blessed by the Goddess of Magic? Why have I never heard of this guy?”
”I've also never heard of him until a few days ago. You see, he lost his memories and I helped him out,” Dilya explained.
”I see, that makes sense. Well, if he's truly blessed by the Goddess, then bring him along. There's only one problem.”
”What?”
”Well, the dungeon is located in the territory of the monkeys.”
”What? It should be fine, right? We have a pact with them so they don't bother us.”
”We should be fine, but if they also know of the dungeon, then they'd also want to explore it. We might not be hurt outside of the dungeon, but inside it, that's a different story.”
”That's true. The system recognizes them as monsters, so it's not unusual if they act like monsters and ambush us.”
”Mhm, indeed. Well, it's getting dark. Get some sleep, I have an idea that tomorrow's going to be crazy.”
”Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Good night, Kerym.” Dilya left his house and waved goodbye. She went back to her house to get some sleep.
