As soon as I open the doors to the library to leave, the man at the counter stops me. "There is an old prophecy about the dungeon... One day, an individual that mortals will consider a God would enter the dungeon but don't believe in those legends... Fair warning, it's dangerous in there..." I turn and give the man a single nod.

A prophecy about an individual many would consider a God would come and take The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs for a spin... "That's not a coincidence... I've known for a long time that there is a bigger picture that I'm a part of somehow, but I don't know how... Maybe I'll find answers inside The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs..." It's a possibility, but this is a tier-up quest.

I doubt that it'll be anything more than getting to tier two. "Looking for Players to challenge The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs! Must be level 100 or higher!" There are Players calling out from the sides of streets and others up ahead in the market square. Everyone here is trying to get some rewards from The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs.

The old librarian I spoke to said there isn't much known about Isexxs or his role in creating the dungeon. Only that he was a prophet and came here to build the dungeon on the orders of The Almighty Father, his involvement with it ends there. "Looking for two more PLayers! Levels 115 required!" I enter the market square, and there are dozens of booths.

I'm betting the only one that can get through those extra paths is me. The Witness and my skills with being more than strong enough to hold my own, but I shouldn't get complacent. The monsters inside will scale with me, and they'll have health and mana similar to mine. "If you're looking for a porter, look no further!!" Seems like someone is trying to find work.

There were a couple of times I actually played the porter role in my past life, but that was because it was the only way to see what a high leveled and powerful dungeon was like. "There isn't any need for porters!! We all have inventories, you dumbass!!" Another Player shouts back at the person advertising their services, and he's technically right. 

I ignore and tune out the rest of the people around me. The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs is where I'll find my tier-2 upgrade, and nothing will stop me from getting it. The librarian told me where I could find it and how to get there. "He said there will be a lot of foot traffic at the location... That could be annoying." People coming and going from dungeons isn't uncommon.

But I don't know what will happen to the dungeon after I'm done in there. Not like it matters in the end. "By the time I'm done and out, I'll already be off towards my next tier-up quest. Wherever that may be." After this tier-up quest is done, I have two more to catch up on, and they'll be harder than this one. It's how this all works.

There is indeed a bunch of Players. All of them are in parties, and some are even attacking this place as a guild. Conveniently, you don't have to wait your turn. But from the looks of it, it hasn't been cleared yet. "That motherfucking boss is a pain in the fucking nuts!!!" A man yells out, and I turn my attention. It's a group of highly geared and high leveled Players.

More Players sigh but nod their heads in agreement. "Does anyone have any idea how to clear this fucking dungeon, so I don't have to stay near this fucking cliffside!!" I don't bother listening anymore and continue making my way through groups of Players and towards the dungeon's entrance. What surprises me is two guarded men and a man in a rich cloak.

He sees me approaching and glances at my gear. Taking a mental note from the looks of it. As I'm about to enter the dungeon, two of the guards hold out their swords and stop me from entering. "Generous Player, you must know the cities tax to enter The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs, right?" Sounds like a typical scam artist reading off from a page.

My eyes lock on the man, and I can see the greed in his eyes. "To enter the dungeon, you'll need to pay a fee of 150 gold per entry. If you can't pay the amount, you'll not be allowed to enter. And don't think killing us will solve the problem. I'm a Player now along with these guards." That doesn't mean that I can't kill them and enter the dungeon anyway.

I'm a man of patience, but I'll not be tested by this money-grubbing parasite. "Please pay the entry fee, Player. It'll be unfortunate to add you to our list of troublesome Players if I'm forced to Inspect you." As soon as he says those words, I draw my blade. I'm moving so fast that everything is moving slow. Before the two guards can even flinch, I cut them into pieces.

As their individual parts are falling to the ground, are take the head off the man asking such fees. Everything speeds back up as I sheath The Witness, and their body parts fall to the ground in a disgusting mess before despawning and leaving some items. They are indeed Players now. "Like I'm going to have 150 gold fleeced from me." As those words leave my mouth, everyone behind laughs.

There are some claps and cheers. It's definitely fun to hear, given how annoyed these Players must've felt. "C'mon, everyone! Let's get a free attempt now that fucker is gone!!" Many Players start coming forward to give it another try now that it's temporarily free, and I step forward and enter alone. As I do, a single and separate dungeon instance is created.

I've finally made it to my destination, and I've already said my goodbyes to Elisa Bleed. She was good company during the trip. I plan to stay in contact with her since she's in my Friends Tab. I hope that she has an easy time getting her tier-up quest completed. She should have an easy time given her Class is Rare in Grade. It wouldn't be that hard.

The city of Abble is something to behold, and I've become a bit more excited at the prospect of my own adventure. Talking to Cera through the messaging last night really helped get my mind out of the dumps, even though I hated to abrupt ending to our conversation. "Carriages to City Hall!! Get a private Carriage to City Hall!" Some people head towards the voice.

I need to find a woman called Fellia Evergreen to get the next step of my tier-up quest. The problem is, I don't know where to go to find her. "There is always doing it the way that Cera taught me." A handy way to get ahold of information is to ask the oldest people around. They know the most about people, and that's a tactic that Cera and I have used before.

I hope the rest are having an easy trip so far, and I hope that Cera is making a lot of progress. He'll be the one that takes the longest to get everything done.
