Chapter 14: The Guild's S-Rank Mission & A New Enemy Awakens

The sun shone brightly over Eldoria, its golden rays spilling through the grand windows of the Adventurer's Guild. The atmosphere inside was lively, filled with warriors boasting about their latest conquests, mages discussing powerful spells, and rookies eagerly scanning the quest board.

At the center of it all, standing out like royalty, were Reo, Lucia, and Celestia.

Their recent victories in the entrance exam had already made them famous within the guild, and whispers spread like wildfire.

"Are they even human? That guy took down a high-ranked adventurer like it was nothing!"

"And those two girls... they're both so powerful and insanely beautiful."

"Wait, isn't that silver-haired girl the one who turned into a human yesterday?!"

Reo ignored the chatter, heading straight toward the guild reception with Lucia and Celestia flanking him. He glanced at the quest board, looking for something challenging.

That's when he saw it—

[Urgent Quest: The Abyssal Dungeon]

Rank: S

Description: A newly discovered dungeon in the Eldorian Outskirts has been classified as a high-threat zone. Monsters have begun emerging, and a scouting team was completely wiped out.

Reward: 500 gold coins + Unknown treasure

Minimum Rank Requirement: A or higher

Reo grinned. "Looks like we've found something interesting."

Lucia crossed her arms. "An S-rank dungeon right after entering the guild? You really don't take things slow, huh?"

Celestia simply smirked. "I wouldn't expect anything less from my husband."

Lucia twitched. "H-Hey, stop calling him that!"

The tension between the two ignited again.

Celestia, in her human form, was just as competitive as before. She leaned forward with a playful smile. "What's wrong, Lucia? Afraid I might steal him?"

Lucia stepped forward, eyes burning. "Steal? Excuse me, but I was with Reo first!"

Celestia laughed. "That just means I'm the newer, more exciting choice."

Their auras clashed, sending sparks flying through the air.

The guild fell into silence.

Everyone in the building was staring—half terrified, half entranced.

"W-Wait… those two… they're both drop-dead gorgeous but also terrifying!"

"Who the hell is this Reo guy to have TWO beauties fighting over him?!"

Reo sighed. "You two… let's just take the quest and get moving."

Lucia and Celestia huffed, but they both grabbed his arms at the same time.

BOOM!

A small explosion of energy shook the ground, sending a powerful shockwave through the guild.

Everyone staggered backward, jaws dropping.

"T-They're monsters too!"

Even the guild master, a battle-hardened warrior, watched with wide eyes. These two girls… they're on a level beyond S-rank.

Reo cleared his throat. "Alright, let's go before they destroy the entire guild."

With their new mission accepted, the trio set off toward the Abyssal Dungeon—unaware of the dark presence lurking beneath its depths…

Deep Within the Abyss… A New Enemy Awakens

Far beneath the dungeon's lowest floor, something stirred.

A pair of glowing red eyes flickered open in the darkness. Chains, thick as tree trunks, wrapped around the enormous figure, but they had begun to crack.

A deep, inhuman voice echoed through the abyss.

"He has arrived… the one I have been waiting for…"

The very walls of the dungeon shook as the chains snapped—one by one.

The real challenge had begun.
