Story of Slade.

The moment Darius left, Slade brought out a bottle of wine and without a glass cup, he began downing its contents as he tried to understand why he was so unlucky.

It all started back when he was still in the Kaldron Empire. He was the leader of the B rank adventurer party, the creed. They were famous at the time and they were well known for their success rate in exploring the vast number of dungeons located on the outskirts of the Malock desert.

They were on the rise in both fame and rank, but everything came to an end when a noble family hired them for a mission in a deeper part of the Malock desert.

It was a collaboration between the adventurer party and the noble family. The noble family was to support with their manpower, while the creed adventurer party was to bring a lesser amount of manpower and expertise in exploring dungeons.

Everything was going well until they finally reached the end of the dungeon and found the artifact they had been tracking.
