You all followed the leader further and further deep into the tunnel, ' We've been walking for a while now isn't it about time we reach it, or is there no end?' You thought but finally, someone in the front yelled that they could see the end.

Everyone walked for a bit more and you all reached it. The entrance to the double lair. It was two massive tall doors, one that you had never seen before. Well, it was the first time you saw a double lair.

" Shit, those things are huge what could possibly be in there?" You said to yourself.

" Shitting yourself already," your friend said in a mocking tone.

" Nope, well there's only one way to find out," you said and awaited the orders from the leader who was analyzing the doors.

" If you want to go back it is now or never, for the rest, I hope you are all ready," he said. Everyone made a battle scream and Mr. song, the leader, slowly opened the door.

Some blue flames lit up here and there to reveal big statues surrounding everyone. They were all making a circle with one way bigger at the front.

You felt something weird about the statues but decided to shrug it off and continued to evaluate your surroundings. The statues looked old with vines on them, some were holding an instrument and some a weapon.

There was an old smell of closed place and humidity. Honestly, the whole thing was kinda creepy especially he biggest statue.

You took a better look at it to convince yourself there was nothing wrong but the outcome was the opposite.

It was watching you but like really watching. As you walked to the other side of the place you could swear its eyes were following your movements.

As the place was already making you anxious enough you blamed that feeling on your stress.

Your gazed switched between each statues and landed on one specific one who was different. You approached it and it looks like the others just spotted it too since they did the same.

This one was a winged cloaked figure holding a tablet with writings probably in runic text.

" Mr. Song! Something is written here!  You should come see!" One said.

' No shit Sherlock,' you thought as everyone had already noticed and mister Song was about to come here anyway.

"... Carthenon's temple comandments," the leader started to read aloud.

" First worship the Lord," he said and paused. Your brain started working, elaborating each and every theory possible.

But first who is the lord?

While everyone was just laughing it off saying it was probably a joke or something. You turned to the tallest statue.

' Sitting on a throne, towering the others, wearing a crown... That's the lord.' You thought but kept quiet waiting for the other statements.

" Second praise the Lord,"

' Worship... Praise...-'

Your healer friend approached, " phey uhm (y/n)? Am I going crazy o- or it's eyes j- just moved to look at us?" She asked fear in her voice. So it really wasn't just you who had seen that.

" Third prove your faith..." Mr. Sung ended.

The air suddenly got chilly and the atmosphere changed. A shiver ran down your spine as the creepy feeling changed to a danger one.

" Those who will not follow these commands... Shall never return alive." By now everyone was dead silent until the idiot head of the group decided to make his smart comment.

" Pfff what nonsense this shit is way too weird-" He didn't have time to finish his sentence when the door suddenly closed.

" Awww what do we do now?" A random girl asked bored.

" I'm leaving this place is fucked up." The idiot of earlier said and started to walk towards the door.

' Think, think, think, the lord, praise, worship, prove what does it all mean it must be there for a reason.'

The guy reached the door but as he went to grab the handles Mr. Sung seemed to have noticed something since he screamed him to stop but the guys didn't.

His hands touched the handles and soon enough he wasn't there anymore to tell us about it. The two statues guarding the door had swung the ache and had sliced him instantly killing him.

Everyone gasped, your friend started crying she always hated seeing death.

" Those things move!"

" We're gonna have to fight those!?"

' Wait more importantly that means...' You turned and looked at the 'lord' and it was looking right back at you. Your heart skipped a beat.

' Isn't this a D-rank dungeon? To kill in one hit! They are way too strong to be here!'

" If all the statues can move then that means this one..." The rest of the group turn to the big statue, eyes wide with fear same as you.

It wasn't the first time you were in a near death situation but this time it was different.

It wasn't like the time you almost starved to death nor the time a gobblin sneak attacked you.

Each time you enter a dungeon, your life is on the line with only one goal; the crystals. Not for new weapons I'm everyone no you needed the money. Each time you'd get injured and would hear comments but you'd make it out convincing yourself it was worth it.

You even received the title world's weakest hunter. But you know what? All those time receiving attacks, learning where are the safe spots and detecting danger.

It was those times who told you that right now it was that time you had to,

" Everyone, duck!" You yelled and pulled you and Miss Ju-Hee ( healer friend) down.

In the glimpse of an eye the lord had rays of light coming out of it's eyes and attacked killing a bunch of us but only the one who didn't duck in time.

Some screamed and some were panting. Ju-Hee was curled in a ball panicking you tried to talk to her but she didn't respond. She really couldn't handle fear that's why a B-rank healer was in small dungeons like this- well was suppose to be.

The leader whispered your name making you turn to him.

" This isn't a normal dungeon... Only those who listened to you survived..." He was about to ask you how did you know what to do but saw on your face you were just as surprised as him.

" Wait your arm-" you said as you saw no arm on him left side, it was gone.

" It's alright just help me stop the bleeding will ya" he said before telling everyone to stay down.

As you tied his 'arm' he asked about what rank it could be and after tell you it was way over the level he experiences in a B-rank dungeon he concluded it would probably be S-rank.

The highest rank, the most dangerous dungeon, you were in it.

You had to think, your first assumption was good and you always had a nack for riddles and strategies.

' The commandmants...'

" Mister Sung the Lord they mentionned... I think it's him." You said as you pointed to the massive statue on it's throne.

You both looked at it and it gave you a very clear aura one of a powerful being...
