rge Island was originally divided into four zones with a neutral center, Ice, Fire, Dark, and Light. However, over ti the energy went out of the territories as four powerful monsters disappeared, so the only source of the elents remained Dungeons.
"Guir, land over there." Gisle said as he pointed to the foot of the mountain.
"Sure." Guir nodded, flapped his wings, and accelerated significantly.
"Hmm? Why are we flying toward the mountain?" Zero asked with a confused look.
"One of the easiest Dungeons in all of Last Light is here. Look." Gisle pointed to a cave nearby.
In front of the cave entrance were several guards who gradually let people in. The queue was long enough for many people to stay in and out of the Dungeon for days, so there was a small area near each Dungeon where people could rest and sleep.
Whoooooosh.
Guir landed near the entrance that attracted the attention of hundreds of people.
"Good. Guir, wait for us here. We'll be right back." Gisle said before jumping to the ground.
"Whatever you say, just don't stay too long. There's nothing to do here anyway." Guir muttered as he pressed his head to the ground in a bored manner.
Gisle, Wain, and Zero headed toward the entrance to the Dungeon as a man ran up to them. It was a muscular man with a massive sword behind his back.
"Mr. Gisle! We were not inford that you were coming. Is there an ergency?" The man said in a respectful voice as he straightened up.
"Nothing serious." Gisle waved a hand in a careless manner, "I just thought I'd show my friends how training goes for those who haven't even activated their Soul Altar."
"Friends? Are you...?" The man looked at Wain and Zero with a puzzled look.
"This is Wain Norheim and Zero." Gisle said with a slight smile on his face.
Gisle simply said their nas, but the man's eyes went wide as though he had heard sothing incredible.
"W-Wain Norheim...?! Zero! Is it really you?!" The man exclaid in a trembling voice.
Wain and Zero looked at each other as Wain asked while pointing at the man, "Is he all right?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I just always wanted to et you, but I didn't expect it to happen so... so suddenly." The man muttered.
"Hmm? Have we t before?" Wain asked as he tilted his head.
"No. Of course not." The man shook his head, "But, everyone knows that Wain Norheim is the na of the strongest in Last Light, while Zero is the second strongest right after you."
"Well... I guess I found out about that last one." Wain muttered with a strange look.
"I agree..." Zero whispered with a slight nod.
"Ahahahahaha, why do you guys have such weird faces? There are thousands of people in Last Light that every day are developing and striving to get better, obviously, a ranking chart wouldn't hurt." Gisle laughed as he shrugged.
"I see. Even though I have nothing to do with it, I wonder who number three is?" Wain asked as he stared at the man.
"It's Miss Agnes Rygh. Technically she's number one since you've been gone a long ti, but it looks like things have changed now." The man said with respect.
"Okay, take us to the first area. Where the rookie training is going, I want to see what progress we've made, personally." Gisle said with a serious look.
"Sure." The man nodded, turned around, and as though the soldier headed for the entrance to the cave.
As soon as they stepped inside, a ssage appeared in front of them.
[You have entered the Primary Chronicle Void, Light Caves.]
[In this area works a special spell that increases the strength of the humans by 30%, while monsters beco weaker by 30%. Spell only works on creatures that are below First Chronicle.]
"Hmm? Did you do that?" Wain asked as he turned to Gisle.
"Yeah. Handy stuff, but it's kind of hard to set up, however for beginners it's the best way to finally take the first step forward." Gisle nodded while following the man.
Gradually they reached the area where there was a group of ten people. All of them were here for the first ti, but they ca purposefully because they wanted to beco stronger, so in and eyes there was confidence. In front of them stood a girl with long brown hair, green eyes, and combat clothes that with a stern look looked at them.
"My na is Karia Stout! Today I will be your instructor and the one who will help you get your first Soul!" The girl exclaid while holding her hands at her sides, "Do you have any questions for before we go into your first fight?"
"I do!" The skinny guy said as he raised his hand with an awkward look.
"Hmm? What?" Karia frowned.
"We have to fight monsters, right? How safe is that?" The guy muttered while his legs shook slightly.
"Huh, sure. All the monsters in this Dungeon are in the Primary Chronicle, so, I in the First Chronicle can easily protect you. Your task is simply to follow my instructions. Absorbing Souls is easier than you think, the most important thing for you is to kill your first monster. Everyone, follow ." Karia uttered, turned around, and headed forward.
The cave was full of brightly glowing crystals, and all the paths had long since been explored by stronger ones, so it was a precisely planned operation.
"Well, well, that's rather curious. I want to see what happens to them next." Wain muttered while holding his chin in a thoughtful manner.
"Sure, co on, let's hope a third of them escape at most." Gisle said as he waved his hand.
"Hmm? You an they'll be frightened at the sight of a monster even when the attendant is with them?" Zero asked while in disbelief.
"Yeah. Just watch." Gisle nodded before following the girl.
They were behind the group and since they concealed their auras it was impossible to see them unless they wanted to.
'Hmm, this reminds of the past.' Wain inwardly muttered while looking at the group of people.
