Vuuuuam!
Taking a step into the dungeon, our retarded heroes felt the world around them twist. It first started with some of their eyesight... everything became black.
Then it was their hearing, their sense of touch followed soon after... thereafter all their remaining senses disappeared. They felt absolutely nothing. It felt as if they were a bunch of insignificant specks of dust drifting in a lonely space. Now, they soon lost their sense of time.
What may have been seconds felt like an eternity.
Vuuuuam!
Finally, after an unknown period of time, hearing the faint sound of some of their breathings, they now notice their senses are returning. But some of them felt sick and threw up.
Because none of them even teleport before, resulting them getting sick, Vanoss and Wildcat were in such a worst state than their friends because their Beastmen instincts were more sensitive than humans. It's kinda like went sky diving for the first time but the two felt worse than that.
On the other hand, people like Terroriser or Delirious didn't felt sick because Brian was obviously a cyborg, as for Delirious, his an undead.
Opening their eyes, they found themselves inside of a damp and dark environment.
Instantly, a heavy scent of granite invaded their nostrils, mostly Vanoss and Wildcat which they got worse.
"Oh god, this smells like the mansion me and Evan went to." Wildcat remarked.
Glancing around, they found some Adventures grimacing and holding onto their stomachs, trying their best to not puke.
Blaaargh! Blaaargh! Blaaargh!
...well, there was always bound to be a few who people who couldn't hold out.
With people who didn't experience teleportation, apart from a few, some of the Adventurers present had never experience like this. Their reaction was understandable.
Few minutes after recovering their footing, arriving and standing before them, an A-rank Adventurer, one of the strongest Adventurers in the group, announces everyone.
The Adventurer had short curly black hair that gently fell towards the side of his face, and his deep black eyes that seemed to carry a hit of warmth perfectly complemented his hair. He didn't look particularly outstanding, but he seemed to be an amiable person instantly giving people a good impression of him.

As he spoke, his deep yet pleasant voice traveled through many of the sick Adventurers' ears calming them down, "Alright, fellow Adventurers, I'll give you five minutes to recover before we start this raid."
As soon as his words entered the other Adventurers' ears, most of them managed to regain their bearing.
Surprised by this development, staring at the Adventurers who seemed to have suddenly magically recovered from their nausea, Delirious fell into deep thought. Glancing at the air around him, he soon came to a realization and began to speak out in his philosopher tone.
'The thickness of this magic thingy around us increased... I see that dude must have used some magic in his voice creating a calming effect... interesting, very interesting.'
Delirious is not the only guy who figure it out immediately as Marcel, Brian, and Moo notices it.
To be able to affect someone's mood with just a few words. Kinda scary.
With just a few words, they could influence people's state of mind. Imagine being in a battle and you suddenly found yourself losing the ability to think properly because of how angry you were. This can result in the opponent potentially making more mistakes. His power was definitely interesting.
"Okay, now that everyone is better, I will keep this short. My name is Benjamin Horjimen and as you can see from my tag, I'm an A-rank Adventurer. I was told by the Guildmaster that I will briefly remind all of you a couple of important things that you will need to know to ensure your safety as you start the raid, so please bear with me for a minute. And whoever knew this many times, you can ignore my reminders."
Raising his hand, thousands of magical glowing orbs materialize on top of every single one of the people present, Benjamin said, "Over here, are spirits that I have summoned that will guide you when crossing the dungeon. They have a tracking system you have to say to them in order to send the nearest Adventurers. This way you will have reinforcements to support you in case a dangerous situation arises." He explained.
Pausing, and glancing at the Adventurers to make sure they understood what he had said, Benjamin smiled.
"With the dungeon this big and a huge maze, we have no choice but to split into several groups. Around us it seems there are three paths, we have more than 6000 people here, we will divide three to travel the dungeon easier. And please, don't go solo, many adventurers died because they went alone. The A-rank Adventure you people heard cleared the 80th floor on his own 5 years ago counts for him because he has the strength of a Rank 10, none of us here except for me reach that rank so don't be stupid."
Saying that, everybody nodded but one of them, a man with green hair and blue eyes seems disagreed with it.
And like that, Benjamin briefed us on a couple more things.
After talking for a couple more minutes, smiling, Benjamin glanced at all of the Adventurers and concluded, "Alright, that's pretty much everything for now. Now, let the raid begin!"
Arriving at the 3rd path where Team 6, the Caeruleum Guardians, and 2000 other Adventurers were, many of them were ready while Nogla did a few stretches to warm his muscles up. Same as Vanoss as he stretched as Nogla did.
"Can't wait to beat up some monsters and bosses with my olllld Jerry can." Nogla said as he took out a lil' can, saying 'Jerry' written on it with a marker.
"That's a can with a Jerry written on it." Wildcat pointed out.
"I know."
"Whatever, I'm getting the highest kills by using my golden holes." He laughed as few magic weapons came out of his [Gates of Babylon].
Terroriser rolled his eyes, "Oh please, Tyler, you're not the only guy who has cheat powers."
"Me too, I just tame a Warden." Moo stated.
"Guys, guys, the only guy who can get a kill is someone who is much faster..." Vanoss said to the rest before pointing to himself, "...which is me."
"Bullshit." Basically said deadpanly.
Bump!
"Huh?"
Feeling someone bump into Vanoss, he turned around. Soon he saw a person's figure who had purple hair and crystal blue eyes standing a few meters from where he was standing.
Glancing at Vanoss with utter disdain, he slowly uttered, "You better watch out inside of the dungeon... since there is no one to watch over you, you never know what might happen."
"Umm... Okay."
Leaving Vanoss back to his party without saying a word, Evan has no clue what just happened, it includes his friends.
"Um, who is that, Evan?" Moo asked cluelessly.
Vanoss glanced at him and simply shrugged his shoulders, "Don't know, he's just giving me the stink eye, don't know his problem."
"Along with the many other glares, I had noticed his stare at you, Evan, before we teleported to this floor. Compared to the other stares around us, he was the only one that contained obvious malicious intentions in it." Terroriser said.
"Why is he giving me the stink eye? Did I do something? Did I just fuck his mom?"
"Not really."
Startled by the Oni's sudden appearance, Wildcat couldn't help but yell at him angrily, "Jesus! What the hell is your problem?!"
"Forgive me, Mr. Wildcat but it seems the young man will have a problem later."
"What do you mean?" Basically said.
"This guy over there is Aaron Horman, third son of one of the richest Merchants, Barney Horman, who owns the largest Corporation in the kingdom and the leader of a D-rank Adventurer "Everlasted Jinns", and has the same rank and same strength as Draila." Sokushi said before adding, "Also the little brother of the A-Rank adventure that solos the 80th floor dungeon 5 years ago."
"Oh great, we have toxic rich kids who like to play Fortnite among us." Terroriser spat out venomously.
Nodding his head in agreement on hearing Terroriser's statement, Sokushi continued, "He was known to be arrogant towards people who are less ranker than him and got rejected by Draila 47th time since before they registered as Adventurers, or should I say since they were six. Because she called him a "Weak fuck" because he always get easily beaten by her everytime they have a sparring match."
"Damn, emotional damage." Basically snickered.
But then, Sokushi stated, "It seems the reason he looks at Mr. Vanoss that way because he saw him very close with Draila for the past two days, making him jealous."
"Oof." All members of Team 6 spoke out in unison.
———————————————————————
Ten minutes had passed, by the time everyone was ready with their weapons and gears, they all began to part ways and ready to raid.
"Are you guys ready!" Draila shouted at the group.
"Fuck yeah we're ready!" Wildcat shouted back.
"LET US GO!" Delirious roared out.
Swooosh! Swooosh! Swooosh!
Like a chain reaction, all of the Adventurers including our main characters started sprinting forwards in three different paths.
Despite there being no light ahead of them, they all fearlessly ran through the cave-like environment. Completely forgetting that this wasn't a race and that this was a dungeon.
Watching many of the Adventurers run with all their might, the experience, serious, and the strongest ones shook their heads.
'Naive.' They both thought the same.
Running ahead of the others in the beginning was probably the worst decision someone could make, especially since this was an unfamiliar environment with no knowledge of what lay ahead of them.
"Grrrrr..."
...and right on cue. By the time they footed in a very spatial area, tens of meters ahead of Team 6, the Caeruleum Guardians, and where most of the Adventurers were, countless eyes appeared in all directions.
Stopping, and glancing towards the mass of eyes in the distance, everyone, especially Delirious in the view shows couldn't help but mutter.
"Oh long johnson, this is not good."
The Dungeon Raid has begun.
