Chapter 2: Labyrinth

"Darkness, the deep sea of nothingness

Fire, the raging light that destroys everything

A ring, that which holds the power of Dark and Fire

Together, they shall form a key to an everlasting path"

"Hmm...it truly meant to say that the Dark Fire is needed huh? How about this ring? Do you have it?" (Aschlad)

Currently, the Argot brothers, together with Bane's party, were looking at what looked like a scripture on a boulder just east of [Morburn].

Behind the boulder was a huge mountain as if saying that there is a hidden door behind the boulder and will lead to a cave of sorts inside the mountain.

Getting to this location was easy for their levels, though they met plenty of [Kobolds], and [Goblins], they were already no match for their party.

There were 3 other members in Bane's party.

May, a blonde girl that looks around 20 years old, ample breast, and a nice curve on her waist, was a Priest/Bard that is mainly the party's healer and support. As well as the eye candy of the group.

Miles, a black haired Scout/Marksman who always puts on his black hood and face mask that covers his nose and mouth, also around 20 years old, was in charge of finding traps and hidden enemies as well as supporting the party either in close range and long rage, in which, he uses a dagger and a short bow.

Blake, a red head with a sturdy body which makes you think he's a good fit to be a tanker but is actually a Magician/Cook and has a surprisingly shy personality unfit of his appearance. He is the party's chef and long range supporter in battle.

Then there was Bane, a Warrior/Swordsman, a complete close ranger only fit for battle, he has a short buzz cut black hair and a normal face that you seem to see everywhere, all in all, he was the most normal person in the group. He is in charge of tanking and the main attacker of the group.

At first, these 4 were surprised to hear about Ashclad's and Blood's job since they only have one. With the system, they are free to choose up to 2 jobs so most had taken this for granted and choose 2.

But of course, there were players that only sticks to one or players that sticks to only one type of job like Bane who is purely on close range fighting.

The two simply answered that they were still hesitating on choosing a second job.

In any case, these two brothers were assigned to attack from a distance like Blake as they are magicians.

"Yeah, at first, we were only passing by here to rest but then Miles saw there was something carved on the boulder so we removed the moss covering it. After seeing what was written, we frantically searched for the ring the scripture told but..." (Bane)

"Hey, hey, if we don't have the ring, even if you have us, we will still be unable to open it you know?" (Ashclad)

"Ah, no, no. We found it. It's just that it took us a long time to find it. See?"

Bane showed a ring that colored silver.

There were no decorations in it, just a plain looking ring which doesn't seem to hold any value.

"We found it in an antique shop, it has the power to store a spell and fires it off once, just that." (Bane)

"What do you mean 'just that'? If you placed a healing spell on it in advance, it could save your life you know? And you can even dodge an enemy's spell with that." (Ashclad)
