The Adventure Begins

It was now day and everyone were in the living room as Ethan had called them all to discuss something

"I will be going on a journey with Emily,

I wanted you all to know because it wouldn't have felt right just leaving"

The three members of the family were shocked not because he wanted to leave without telling them but because Ethan had started to change in ways they didn't understand.

"Ethan, I understand that you are in love with this girl Emily, but why do you want to move away from the town with her?"

It was his father who had said this, he couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand why Ethan felt distant, it made him worry to see his son acting differently.

"Ethan, listen to your father's words it worries me to see you leave just like this, you never even told us about this Emily girl until yesterday"

The mother also pleaded with him not to go it was just too sudden.

"Mother, Father, I know the both of you have worries but nothing is wrong with me I'm totally fine, I just need to deal with some stuff"

Ethan tried to convince his parents he could not bear to see them saddened, they had taken care of him for the eighteen years he had been with them and he couldn't let harm come to them which was why he had to leave before his foes found them.

They all continued to converse with each other but Alice never said anything concerning the conversation, she had just started to bond with him yesterday, and now he was leaving? she didn't know what to say.

"Alice aren't you going to say anything, her mother turned to her completely shocked to see the tears which were rushing down Alice's cheeks she couldn't stop the tears from coming down.

"Why?" she directed the question to Ethan, she held her chest tightly as the pain she felt was indescribable, something kept telling her, she wasn't going to see him again and she trusted this feeling.

"I...I don't understand... why would you just leave us like this?" she sobbed continuously but she still didn't understand why she felt so much sadness and pain in her.

They were never close she always knew that, so why...why would she cry for someone she wasn't that close to

Ethan seeing this felt sadness, he had studied her and her personality through the memories they spent together and he knew she was going to be the reason why it will be hard for him to leave as they were really close.

He moved to her seat and bent down embracing her in a tight hug he spoke to her.

"I know how you feel, I'm sorry for leaving like this but I have unfinished business that I have to complete and when I'm through, I promise I will come back home to you all"

Ethan gave her comforting words, assuring her he would come back home to meet them when he was through with the 'unfinished business'.

The both parents felt sad watching their daughter cry so they joined the embrace bringing more comfort to Alice.

She stopped crying after some time and they ended the family embrace and it was time for Ethan to leave.

"I shall take my leave now, wait for me to return as I shall come back extremely strong and able to protect you all"

He then smiled taking the bag which he had packed very early this morning, he turned back and smiled at them all, knowing he would take a long time before he comes back and he waved telling them all good bye until the next time they all meet.

After he was done, he started walking to the meeting point of he and his friends, they both looked saddened knowing this might be the last time they saw their friend, but fate had a funny way of twisting itself.

"I came to ask you guys maybe you would like to come with me"

"Huh?"

The two boys were confused as they didn't know this was going to happen they both looked at themselves and looked back at Ethan, they had prepared to go with him even if he didn't ask.

They had both sneaked out of the house with their bags ready to follow him, when Ethan heard this he convinced them to tell their parents as they would be going somewhere very far.

Ethan followed them to their houses where the same scenario but some parts different happened.

The both parents had agreed as they knew nothing would keep this three from going together if they had all decided but it still took a lot of convincing.

With everything settled they all headed to the dungeon which they had come back from yesterday, heading for the castle.

They got there after a few minutes and entered with ease as the guards had remembered their faces very clearly, it was not like many people knew about the place.

They saw the maids of yesterday, the maids directed them but it wasn't the throne room they headed to it was the dining room, when they got there they all saw a feast on the table laid down for them and at the end of the table was seated Amelia as she ate her food with etiquette.

Ethan smiled at this as it was always like this even in his past she always had a feast on the table and ate always stuffing her mouth, only in the presence of other people except from him did she eat like a lady of her status.

They had all finally eaten their fill after some time and the maids had finished packing all the dishes which were used.

"So do we head out now?"

Ethan asked Amelia seeing her stand up from her seat.

"Yes, we head out now darling"

Ethan had told her about bringing the boys with him, he told her of the potential he saw in them and she agreed easily because she saw the same thing he saw and they also looked like people who they knew from their world, people who had died fighting alongside them.

The maids took the bags of the group of four to the carriage.

Since the coming of dungeons a lot of things happened changing the world entirely, they found out this monsters could sense technological gadgets and other things of technology, the president had to make a decree where he said they would live like the people who had experienced what they were experiencing to make people safe from the monsters.

Changing cars into carriages, finding communication talismans in the tombs, they removed phones and started using the talismans to communicate.

It was hard at first but humanity found a way to adapt, so they could all live to see another day.

They all got into the carriage, Amelia and Ethan sitting together and Leo and Matthew sitting together.

They all conversed talking about where they were going to go now.

"So where are we heading" Matthew asked, they were never told by Ethan, so it made the both of them curious to know.

"We will be heading to the closest city to the town to buy gear first, and then we will go from dungeon to dungeon where you guys will train yourselves and enhance your skills"

"Then after some weeks of training we will head to the kingdom of Hamilton"

Amelia told them their plan as they would need to get stronger before going to the kingdom of Hamilton.

The kingdom of Hamilton was made by Eric Hamilton, he was part of the first people who entered the dungeon becoming the strongest S-ranked hunter known to mankind.

He built A kingdom at the age of thirty two and ruled over it for years making a name for himself throughout the world, the Hamilton family still controls the kingdom.

It also became the place known as the kingdom of hunters.

The carriage kept going and after a few hours they had reached their destination.

"We have arrived" Amelia said as she came out of the carriage the others following her.

They went to the most famous shop in the city which sold equipment for hunters. It's name was 'Boris smithery'.

As they entered rows of weapons could be found everywhere from weak to strong they were all there with their descriptions under them it was worthy of being called the most famous shop in the city.

"What do you kids want"

A grumpy man came out sweating as he was refining a weapon before he came to check who came to his shop, he never liked when people disturbed him when he was refining which caused the grumpy look.

"We came to buy some weapons from your shop would you recommend some for us" Matthew said to the man making sure to be careful of his words as he didn't want all of them to be thrown out by this man.

The man eyed them, seeing they were actually ready to buy weapons and not some people who came to price it he looked at them all, starting from Matthew.

"You there, what weapon do you specialize in" he pointed at Matthew asking him.

"Well I have never used a weapon before this will be my first time buying one" Matthew said embarrassed as one of the two people he was sure hadn't used weapons.

"Hmmm, I thought as much, follow me we are going to pick a bow for you"

"Huh?" Matthew was surprised when he was suggested a bow

"You are meant for the archery class which is why I am choosing a bow for you" the man had told Matthew when he saw how confused he was

Taking Matthew to the bow section, he Searched for a bow and the man finally found it.

"This is what I was looking for this is the bow fit for you, it will enhance your accuracy and other things but I am to busy to explain everything for you, with it you will become a great archer someday"

With the weapon chosen for Matthew he went on to calling the next person

"Next...you" he pointed at Leo "Do you have any weapon in mind or is this your first time also"

He asked Leo also ridiculing Matthew, a lot of people had come to his shop but someone who hadn't used a weapon and hadn't any weapon in mind to choose was a first.

"Well, I use a spear sir" Leo told the man

"Well that's not bad but let me give you something even better, it's called a naginata and it will be e really suitable for you"

He took Leo to the swords section where he chose the sword he was looking for.

"One of the beautiful swords I ever made I hope you use it well" with emotion in his words he finally handed the sword to Leo with it now in it's sheath.

And finally it came to Ethan's turn the man pointing to Ethan he said.

"So what is your weapon of choice"
