”These are all Grand Dungeons. Hm? I don't see <Dungeon of Ocean> though.”
”I don't know what's in there. It probably still hasn't been dropped yet.”
”Hou. So, what are these anyway.”
”Researchers at Wapud Kingdom call them <Ancient Grace Gear>. However, subsequently I don't think that's an appropriate name for those Gear.”
”What do you call them then.”
”<Genesiac Grace Gear>. Although it's not like I've told anybody else about it. You're the second person who knows that name after me.”
”What does this <Genesiac> mean.”
”It means genesis, the beginning. These Grace Gear are items that can only be obtained by defeating the very first Grand Dungeon bosses.”
”Hou. Why do <Ring of Undying King> and <Talisman of Dark Demon>'s activation spells in ancient language.”
”That's because those Grace Gear initially manifested in this world during the age of ancient language.”
”What?”
”Where do you think treasure chests come from?”
”The thought never even crossed my mind.”
”They come from another plane not of this world, a plane I call <Domain of Gods>. <Domain of Gods> has the powers but not the shapes. Those powers take shape when they fall into this world, shapes appropriate in the world they've fallen into. Thus how they assume the forms of treasure chests, armors, jewels, and activation spells in the language of that world.”
”Way too complicated for me to swallow.”
”The activation spells were in ancient language because those gear fell during ancient times. Had they fallen today, those spells would be in modern language.”
”Ah, I see. So that means other countries also got these <Genesiac Grace Gear> too then.”
”Dungeons whose floors exceed 100 exist in other countries. But they are not Grand Dungeons. Therefore, you cannot get <Genesiac Grace Gear> in those dungeons.”
”Hm? Aren't all dungeons that got more than 100 floors Grand Dungeons.”
”That classification is just for the sake of convenience. Say, Dungeon Yufu would fall out of Grand Dungeon title if we go by that classification.”
”I don't get that too. Are you saying Dungeon Yufu only has one floor in total?”
”Oh, didn't you know. There's only one floor in the entirety of Dungeon Yufu. It goes on from the entrance to the deepest part.”
”Hou. But why do Grand Dungeons only exist in this country.”
”In ancient times, when the numbers of humans were far fewer than today, there was only one country. That country was located in what became of Zaka Kingdom today. Grand Dungeons were created by the mages of ancient times. Hence the reason why they only exist in Zaka Kingdom.”
”What the. Grand Dungeons were created?”
”That they were. The method as to how has been lost to the passage of time however.”
