Soda Dungeon Fanfiction why

A Nice Tavern

It was a rainy day when you heard about a new tavern in the next town over in the paper. Taverns were nothing new to you. There were a few in town that sold some delicious soft drinks, and while you sometimes visited them for a caffeine fix, none of them had your favorite soda: Holy Fizz. You didn't have high hopes that this new tavern would be any different. The soda is quite rare, as it really only tastes good when it is finely brewed with high quality ingredients. You won't find good Holy Fizz if you drink off brand. Jeez, look at you! Some kind of soda connoisseur now are we? Anyway, you take a cursory glance at the page in the newspaper that tells about the new tavern. It has sections about the owner, the location, and most importantly, the sodas it offers on the menu. You take a look at each of the sections. There's a picture of a moustached man wearing a fancy suit. He looks rather dapper, if you do say so yourself. That's the owner. Next, the location. It's next to a dangerous dungeon. Great, there will be monsters barging in the door while you're trying to drink away the hours. Yeah, you don't think you're gonna go there. No way. Still, you take a look at the menu. Peasant Pop, Dr. Slurp, Dungeon Mist, Grappling Grape, Cherry Charm, and- WHAT?! No way! This tavern sells Holy Fizz! Well now you have to go! How could you not? Imagining the delicious, cold, bubbly soda makes your mouth water. It's said that Healers just like you will travel miles away from their homes just to find this drink, and you are no different. But this tavern isn't miles away from you, it's only in the next town. Well, why not go now? You step outside of your house to see... rain. A lot of rain. Well, rain or shine, you are gonna get a taste of that soda. 'When was the last time I even HAD some Holy Fizz?' You think to yourself. But you remember, the last time you ever got a taste of this delight, you were only 14. Now at the age of 22, you'll be able to drink it again. You grab a map out of a little metal box thing that has newspapers and the such inside, free for people to take. Anyway, you begin heading north, towards the neighboring town.

(I'll just spare you the details of the healer's boring journey, and cut to when he is in front of the tavern.)

You walk to the outskirts of this new town to see the building to see "Jeremiah's Tavern", as well as an ominous dungeon. You step inside the tavern, and see a few things. You see a man playing an upbeat song on the piano (I know there's no such character in soda dungeon, just roll with it), the tavern owner which you saw in the paper, and a variety of different customers. You take a seat at one of the barstools. "What can I get for ya?" The owner says and gives a hearty smile. "I heard you sell Holy Fizz." You tell him. "Yup! Sure do." He tells you. "And it's the best Holy Fizz you'll ever drink, I tell ya. It's been expertly brewed to perfection by the masters of soda." You are very intrigued by this. "Wow? That good, huh? How much is it?" You ask him. "It's gonna cost ya a pretty penny. This isn't no poor man's soda. You won't see a Soda Junkie drinking this fine brew. It'll cost ya 150 gold coins." "What? That much? That's insane, man!" You tell him. "I don't take bargains, kid. So scram, or buy a cheaper option." He tells you. Just then, a man with long hair and some chain armor sits in the seat next to you. "Hey barkeep." He says. "How much for this man's soda?" "150 coins" The owner says. "But this guy should pay for it with his own money, not get someone else to do it!" "Well he didn't choose it. I'm doing this out of the kindness of my heart. And why does it matter who's wallet it comes out of? You still make a sale." He says. The bartender thinks about it. "I guess you're right..." he says. "Alright then." The man with the long hair says and puts 150 gold on the table. The bartender begrudgingly pours you a mug of Holy Fizz. "Wow! Thank you!" You tell him. "Dont mention it." He says. He also orders a mug of Questing Cream Soda for himself. "My name's Chris. I'm a Knight." He tells you and takes a sip of his soda. "Oh. My name's Will. I'm a healer." You tell him. "Well nice to meet ya, Will." He tells you. "Nice to meet you too. Also, how did you get that much money?" You ask. "Oh, there's this guy who pays adventurers to go into the dungeon and get treasure for him. It pays really well. That's how I can afford these drinks." Chris says. You finally take a sip of your Holy Fizz. Your mind flutters. Truly, all other tastes pale in comparison to the sip of heaven you just took. "Hahhhhh...." You say. Chris looks at you, confused. "Uhh... you alright there, pal?" He says. "You snap out of it. "Uhh... yeah! I'm fine!" You tell him. "Man, what's in that stuff?" He says. "I don't know... but it's good." You tell him. "Can I try?" He asks. "Oh... sure." You tell him. He takes a sip. "Hey... that's good!" He says. As you continue chatting, a man comes up to you. "Hey! Might I interest you in a business opportunity?" He says. "Ughhh. Get lost." You tell him. Chris buts in then and says "Hey! There's the guy I worked with! He gave me tons of money!" "Huh?" You say. "That's right! And I can do the same for you! You're a healer, and will be a great team member for the other adventurers I've hired. If you go into the dungeon to get gold and treasure, then I can get you all the Holy Fizz you could ever dream of!" He tells you. "Wait... really?" You say. "Absolutely! Just go into the dungeon with 4 other adventurers, get treasure, and you'll be handsomely rewarded! I'll supply all the items you need to go deeper in the dungeon. Now your job is relatively simple. When you're not attacking the monsters in the dungeon, you're healing yourself and the other 4 members. Make sure none of you get hurt, right!" "Umm... OK?" You say. "Great!" He says. "Fantastic. Now, you join me, as well as Chris. I'll also get 3 other adventurers. Get to know them well in the dungeon!"

Soon enough, the man comes back with 3 more adventurers. One is a girl with purple hair and an odd metal 'x' in it. Another is a girl with green hair and a dagger. The last is a man with a golden colored shirt. A dark mage, a thief, and a merchant, respectively. "Alright, hop to it!" The man says. You and the rest of the adventurers follow Chris and you enter the dungeon...

But you'll have to find out what happens  in the next chapter haha sucks to suck
