Chapter 5: Quest 3- First Floor

The next day Cirrus got up early and packed his bag with food, his gear all clean and maintained.

Walking down the stairs of the Dungeon he could feel the gazes of many adventures on him, he kept moving down.

He reached the first floor as many other adventures went on their way further down.

Gulp!

‘Guess its my time to see if I have the metal.’

With his hand on his sword on the hilt he began his first exploration of the dungeon.

 

After walking for a while he finally came across a goblin, a green plump humanoid monster with 3 small horns armed with a stick.

“Haaa…” Cirrus takes a deep breath as he draws his short sword and ready himself.

“Gi!! Giiii!!!!!!!!!” the goblin came in and swung its wooden stick aimlessly at Cirrus.

Cirrus moved accordingly building up his confidence.

“Giiii!!! Giiiiii!!!!!”

The Goblin began to attack with even more ferocity, Cirrus moved out of the way to the side as it struck a rock with its stick breaking it.

“G-gi!!!”

‘This is my chance!!’

With a resolute conviction he carefully slashed horizontally at the monsters neck cutting halfway in before stopping.

“Shit I hesitated!”

He drew the blade back out as the goblin fell down.

Looking down at the Goblin's body Cirrus takes a deep breath and aims his sword and plunges' it into the Goblins magic stone.

Poof!!

He looks at the magic stone for a bit before picking it up and leans against a wall looking at it.

“Haa…I can't hesitate again.” He clutches it and places it in his pocket.

He kept walking through the dungeon’s first floor memorizing the paths and even stairways to the 2^nd floor. He ignored it for now and focused more on the first floor.

He encountered more Goblins and even a Kobold, with each new encounter he faces his confidence in his abilities strengthen. Each goblin is cut down quicker than the last and each Kobold was put down faster and faster.

 

“Haa! haa! haa!”

Cirrus finds a place where other fellow novice adventures stayed to rest.

‘Seems everyone is doing well…some scrapes here and there.’

Cirrus watched as many new adventured came and went from this “safe zone” when he spots some adventures in some far eastern clothes, they stood out like a sore thumb, but no one bothered them seeing as they had a captain. A woman with yellow and red eastern attire with black haired tied up and held by a comb. She had an aura that seemed welcoming but when they see her, they see her spear covered in blood and the rest of her Familia were also covered in it, warding off anyone to come near her.

They simply came and rested when one of their members came in right behind them carrying all of their stuff.

A young girl around Cirrus’s age came in, she had white hair covered in dirt and blood with fox ears and tail, her clothes were by contrast compared to the others really, really poor with the best thing she had were her shoes.

‘Poor kid…she must be their supporter, but god dam is she their attendant or something?’

“Shirakusa, are you doing well?” the captain said.

“Y-yes Kushida-sama.” She bowed before giving her some water from her bag.

“Thank you.” She then took out a cloth and cleaned the girl named Shirakusa.

‘Well seems she’s a kind noble.’

After resting Cirrus resumes his exploration for a few more hours before leaving.

 

Back at Lenoa’s shop.

“I’m back!” Cirrus said.

“Welcome back.” Lenoa said. “How was the dungeon?”

“It was good I got some magic stones.”

“That is good, are you planning and giving them to the Guild tomorrow?”

“Yup, stayed too long in the dungeon.”

He helps set up the table and they both start to eat and talk of the experience.

“Did you meet any other adventurers?” she asked.

“A few at a rest spot on the 1^st floor, there were even some adventures from the East, there was even a Renard with them.”

“A Renard huh? hmm…you should keep an eye on that one, Renard’s are known to possessing rare magics, speaking of which. Have you used your magic yet?”

“No, I didn’t find the need to.”

“I see…well do you mind if you use it? It would be wise to understand ones abilities.”

“Alright.”

After finishing eating, he and Lenoa go out to the backyard, Cirrus goes in the middle of the yard and stands still holding his hands out.

“(Exousía, Adorn).”

Pikapika!

Pikapika!

Pikapika!

A gilded light wrapped around Cirrus revealing the enchantment. A gilded, white-hooded ram cowl that extends down to his knees covered him and his injuries he sustained from the dungeon were healed almost immediately.

“What majesty!” Lenoa said amazed.

“This is pretty neat! Maybe I sho-“

The magic wore off immediately as it disappeared, Cirrus flopped to the ground.

“Cirrus are you alright?” Lenoa said walking up to him and poking him, she knelt down and examined him. “Mind Down…” she further checked his body to find he was perfectly fine aside from the Mind Down. “What powerful magic, you only had it for a handful of seconds before falling to the ground…Kihihi!” she laughed as she picked him up. “You certainly will be one remembered by many, maybe even more so than the Loki and Freya Familia's."
