Jacob
July 19th, 2560;
Having a father who works for the world government, I have spent my entire life traveling from continent to continent, staying in 5-star hotels and military bases, while my father explores and maps dungeons. Being one of the foremost cartographers in the world my father spends much of his time, traveling with groups of fighters through the demon-infested labyrinths, that the world government has labeled as dungeons. Similar to the concept of dungeons from video games in the 'Golden Age', these dungeons are multi-layered death traps, full of demons, and monsters (lesser demons), each dungeon having a 'boss' and several minibosses. However, unlike dungeons from those classic games, these dungeons are large and consist of twisted landscapes that can stretch for hundreds of miles above and below ground, as such cartographers are needed to help fighters navigate and map these dungeons, finding escape routes for their groups, and providing vital information for future groups.
Of course, being the son of a cartographer I have had orienteering and mapping skills drilled into me since birth. After all my training I could find true north from any position with my eyes closed, or tell you the direction of the wind relying solely on the hairs on the nape of my neck. I have also inherited my father's passionate love for cartography, and can't help but drift off every time I think about exploring dungeons...
"Jacob! Stop daydreaming and look out the window we are almost at the dungeon"
In my daydreaming stooper, I had almost forgotten that today we will be arriving at the worlds largest Dungeon to date "El Dorado", located in the heart of the Amazon Rain Forest. Extending an estimated 20 miles under the surface of the earth and having an estimated diameter of 200 miles, El Dorado is three times larger than any other dungeon to date. That being said it is also the most dangerous dungeon in the world, and for precisely that reason this is the dungeon my father has chosen for me to temper myself in as long as I am able to awaken either Ki or Mana on my 15th birthday, also known globally as your awakening day, which for me happens to be tomorrow...
"Jacob, listen to your brother and pull out your I.D. card, we are about to pass through the military inspection point"
"Sorry mom, I was just excited for tomorrow"
My older brother Herald looked at me and sneered. "Why we all know that you're trash who won't be able to become a mage or a warrior, unlike me a 3rd step Ki Condensation Realm Warrior."
With a helpless expression, I turned around and looked at my fiancee Camilla, who coldly retorted "Hmph! You don't know how great my future hubby will be, his potential will far exceed all of ours. And what gives you the right to talk Herald, you're a year older than me yet I've already reached the 5th stage of the Mana Condensation Mage Realm. So who's the trash."
Hearing insults being hurled at him, Herald snorted and looked out the window despondently, a grin quickly flashing across his face.
A bit confused towards my brother's masochistic behavior, I turned around and smiled at Camilla who looked at me with an all too cute toothy grin, and I mouthed the words "Thank you", then blew her a kiss, which she grabbed at giddily.
Just as I was returning to my thoughts on exploring dungeons, I was once again interrupted as the car came to a relaxed stop, and my father rolled down his window.
"Morning Officer, my name is Major Max Harbinger, a cartographer with the World Government, here with my family to awaken my son and to assist in mapping El Dorado"
"I.Ds!"
As my father began passing the officer our I.Ds he began reading the information on them aloud while looking through the windows to confirm our identities...

Noticing the weird expression on the officers face, I lightly smiled, knowing all too well that my looks were odd. I look completely different from the rest of my family, who have brown eyes and hair, with soft features, while I'm considered a genetic anomaly with an angular facial structure, fire-red hair, and golden-yellow eyes, all of which make me look devilish... devilishly handsome!
Passing over my features once more, the officer approved of my entrance, while carrying on to Camilla.

Looking at Camilla again, I was entranced, as her light ebony skin, along with her high and refined cheekbones, and her large eyes that remind one of the Autumn leaves in late October. I couldn't believe that my father, had agreed with his best friend several years ago to betroth me to her, I am probably the luckiest man on earth.
Suddenly the car began to move, breaking me out of my stupor, and drawing my attention to a ginormous scar in the earth. This massive hole in the surface of the earth radiated energy cold and cruel energy, that gave chills and a feeling of excitement.
"There it is kids the entrance to the largest dungeon in the world El Dorado!"
