Prologue

In this world, people werefighting for power. Each kingdom fought with oneanother, causing a sea ofbloodshed that had been sacrificed in vain just to determine the stronger side. However, it all changed when a strange phenomenon happened.

In the middle of the battlefield between thethree sided war, a fifty meter tall tower suddenly emerged. Each side ended up signing a peace treaty to deal with this foreign building. They decided as suchso thateach kingdom had a chance to explore this tall structure. Elora Kingdom wasthe first one to send an expedition team of twenty men inside buteven after one week no one returned. Holy Kingdom becamethe second, sending a massive number of three hundred men but it resulted in nothing as well.

After two months, the North Ice Kingdom was finally able to conquer it, and the dungeon disappeared. The group of originally five hundred men returned withonly eight survivors. The survivors told everyone about their experiences inside it. Various traps and monsters inside the strange place caused many of theirpeople to die. However, it was all worth it, the eight people who cameback alive broughtout riches and various artifacts with unimaginable power that could change the world.

The news of the expedition spread far. Elora Kingdom, Holy Kingdom and North Ice Kingdom were nowtoo focused on clearing dungeonsfor the last two months. When their messenger cameback they found out that these constructsstartedshowing up all around the world. The strange phenomenonwasnowoccurring everywhere.

It camein various shapes and sizes, therefore they decided on a collective name for these phenomena. Dungeons.

The war has since then come to a stop.

Dungeons, now nobody in this world didntknow about it. Every kingdom in this world wasracing against theother to clear any new dungeons. Each wasstriving to clear higher ranked dungeons to showcase their power and gather artifacts.

No one knewhow many artifacts have been gathered because each kingdom hidthis information. They all knew, that the appearance of the dungeons have put a stop to the war, albeit it wasonly a temporary truce. When the next war occurs, it will be ona whole new level.

To prevent the war, all kingdom leaders gathered and discussed the future. They decided to sign a peace treaty and form an organization to watch over these dungeons.

One hundreds year ago, an organization called Guild Hall wasestablished based offthe conferences result. TheGuild Hall acted as a moderator for the dungeons. Since new dungeons occasionally appeared, the Guild Hall alwayshad animportant roleto play.

Firstly, the guild hall acted as a neutral faction. They will grant access to anyone from any kingdom if they registered themselves in the Guild Hall as dungeon raiders. This has caused some people to ally with people from other kingdom and has overall reduced hostility between kingdoms. This also eliminated the possibilityof any one kingdom monopolizing a dungeon.

Secondly, no one wasable to enter the dungeon without a dungeon raider pass, issued by the guild hall. If a person entered a new found dungeon without reporting it first, his dungeon raider identificationwill be taken forcefully and will be denounced as a criminal that has offended all kingdoms.

Thirdly, new dungeons will always be exploredby the guild hall member first to give it a rank based on the types of traps and monsters it contained. This was the Guild Hallsmost important duty. The Guild hall will never clear a dungeon for themselves, they wereonly tasked to manage it and give it a rank. This wasneeded because eachdungeon raider also had their ownrank. They wereonly allowed to enter a dungeon that wassuitable for their rank. If a low ranked dungeon raider entered a high ranked dungeon, it wasthe same as seeking death. The guild hall was there to make sure that thatdidnt happened.

Lastly, the guild hall keptrecords of all of the dungeons that have been cleared, newly found, and a listof all uncleared dungeons. Because of these points, people whowereseeking fame and power were allsigning up as dungeon raiders.

However not all of people wanted to raid a dungeon. Since the war had ended, the people's lives has been prosperous. Peace and freedom filled their daily lives. Each kingdom wascompeting in clearing dungeons rather than waging wars, leaving most commoners without worry. Although becoming a dungeon raider had great promise for the future, the rate of death wasfairly high.

Thusthis world can be generally divided intothree types of people.

The first typewerethose who aspired to become dungeon raiders. Second were those who wanted to live out their lives in peace. The thirdwerethe noble families that tries to recruit dungeon raiders to work for them.

In a small village that wasfull of the second type of people, the villagers all lived in peace. Working side by side to makea better life. Smiles can be seen from the villagers faces. It wastruly a wonderful sight.

In this small village called Bruit, lived a former dungeon raider. His name wasGerrard. Since meeting the girl of his life, Sandra, he decided to get married and live freeof danger. Two years later they wereblessed with a boy and named him and Varn.
