Truth

"But this isn't the entrance that any of us will be using, rumor has it that no one knows how far down into the dungeon you can reach by going through the scar, but as of yet no one has managed to reach its bottom."

Confused, I asked, "Then how do we get into the dungeon?"

Giving a hearty laugh, my father responded "anxious to get exploring, are we! Don't worry people who adventure into the dungeon go through artificial entrances created by the monsters and demons trying to escape from their gloomy depths and onto the surface of the planet."

Hearing this, I shuddered, as a child of this world, I have been told the horrors of dungeons and the gruesome demons that rest below the surface of the earth. But these true stories pale in comparison to the real history of the world after the development of the first dungeon and the spreading of divine energy across the earth.

When I was young, I attended primary education like our forefathers, in which we learned about the massacres caused by ravaging monsters and demons who escaped from dungeons and wasted the earth, killing millions, and toppling countries. The worst incident occurred in Russia with the advent of the first dungeon, appearing right outside of St. Petersburg. Although the Demons and Monsters were of a relatively low level, no one had been prepared for an all-out attack by savage beasts, resulting in more than 750 million deaths, and ushering in the era of dungeons.

"Dad, how do we prevent the demons from making more paths to the surface."

"That my boy is the job of the demon subjugation squad. Their Jobs are to clear out all of the demons near the surface of the dungeon, preventing them from reaching the surface and causing havoc."

"Your brother has already been accepted as a trainee for the squad and will be leaving on his first mission tomorrow morning."

Suddenly the car came to a stop outside of a small two-story house, and knowingly we all jumped out of the car and began to examine the house that we'd be staying in for the next few months.

As we began to settle in, my Father said, "Make yourselves comfortable I need to go to a pre exploration meeting, but I'll be back for dinner."

Mom being her usual stern self responded, "You'd better be back by 5 or your not getting any food."

"Alright, alright... I'll be back on time."

For me, the next few hours were a blur as I had wild daydreams about fighting monsters, exploring dungeons, and being awakened as the greatest fighter in history. At around 5 O'clock, however, I was interrupted by my mothers call for dinner.

"Wow mom it smells great, what did you make?"

"Black noodle Nero style Linguini with fresh shrimp and oysters. I figured you boys would need energy for exploring dungeons."

As 5:10 rolled around, we were all gathered around the table, waiting for my father to arrive before so that we could begin eating. As minutes continued to pass by, the look on moms face was showing a hint of confusion, and anger, as she turned to me and said in a sweet tone

"Jacob, could you be a dear and go find your father; he should be at Colonel Jackson's office."

Scared by the contrast of her expression, and her tone of voice, I hurriedly got up and moved towards the door. As I exited the house, I faintly heard my mom's voice saying "Oh! and If you both aren't back by 5:30, you'd best not come back at all."

Fearing for the loss of my dinner, I grabbed my hoverboard and a map of the compound and began traveling towards the Army Head Quarters located on the base.

Even after having visited many military bases in my travels, I still enjoy merely traversing the military base, and viewing all of the latest and greatest equipment used for keeping the demons in check. But even more so I enjoy seeing the parties of fighters, that are training and telling stories about their many travels into the dungeons. Passing by many of these groups, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of becoming one of them.

After several minutes of hoverboarding, I finally arrived in front of the Army HQ, a magnificent building with large quartz columns surrounding the marble and stone building, reminding one of an ancient Greek temple. After gawking at the architecture and putting my board in one of the outdoor storage units, I began to make my way inside the grand building, however, as soon as I opened one of the white stone doors and took a step in I ran into something soft and immediately fell flat on my ass.

Standing before me in the doorway was one of the most profound and recognizable beauties on the planet, with snow-white hair, glowing green eyes, and spacial magic that allows her to walk through walls, disappear, and fly, she was much more unique than any other girl. With an unmatched voluptuous body and the reputation of the worlds youngest transcendent stage mage, Violet Rose stood in front of him with extreme anger and a hint of blush on her face.

"You! ... You!"

Extremely frightened, I put my hands up to guard my face.

Noticing my defensive posture, and failing to detect any energy signatures from my body, violets expression softened slightly, as she yelled "Watch where you're going you, Banana Slug!" after saying this she stormed past me and into the distance.

Stunned I began to slowly unravel the transpiring events in my mind and my expression shifted from one of fright to astonishment, and then to a look of burning anger as I muttered: "What banana slug I'll be one of the greatest fighters to walk this earth."

After called being called a banana slug, (a commonly used slur to describe talentless individuals who have failed to awaken any form of magic power) my mood became foul, and I grumbled as I made my way to the colonel's office to find my father.

finally after my seemingly long expedition to reach the colonel's office I had arrived, and just as I was about to open the door I began to hear yelling from inside, interested in the dialogue of supreme government officials, I pressed my ear to the door and started listening.

"Damnit, Jackson! I can't continue this, I've looked after him for 15 years and taught him everything I know. But after tomorrow he's the government's problem. I can't continue to raise that freak!"
