The morning sun is blinding, but that means, "Time to start my adventure!"
"Yawn, well your up quite early."
"Who wouldn't, this is the start of something amazing, well to me at least." I say with a grin.
"Well I suppose you should get ready, but you don't have a weapon do you?"
"You'd be surprised, Ive had a sword with me this entire time." I say as I pull it out.
"I-it's not exactly the best looking, but I'm guessing it gets the job done." She looks kind of worried.
"No need to worry goddess, I may have not really used this, but I am confident in my capability." I say as I run out of the house. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to just run out, but I can't help myself, I just gotta get to that dungeon. I wonder if I should go for the money first or the experience, probably be better for the experience. Since I want to become a hero it might better to go for experience.
The dungeon looks almost like it increased in size the closer I got to it, but the intimidation won't stop me from taking on this challenge.
There's actually quite a few people here? But it's so early, guess they've been here for awhile. Alright then, time to go in.
Well all the footsteps are echoing, sounds like there's almost ten times as many people.
So I should start with going down to the lower levels and then I can start leveling up. Now when do the monsters start showing up? Maybe the first floor, well that would make sense.
Now if I just take one step in here they should start coming at me.
Crack
Sounds like something is coming, good I'll get to have some experience. It's coming out, it looks like a rabbit? Aw it looks so cute, what could it possibly do to anyone.
Grrrrr
I don't think a rabbit is supposed to start growling. It's leaping at me, a little aggressively.
Clang
Well I guess I should always get prepared to fight an enemy, no matter how cute they look. I'll just get into a fighting stance. Regardless it doesn't look like it's intimidated. So I just go up and attack it right? Yeah what else would I do.
"So I'll just take one step forward, and." I say to myself, and swing the blade down. Poof it turned into dust, and dropped something. ARE ITEM DROPS REAL TOO?! No wait it looks just like a stone, but she didn't say about the monsters dropping anything, maybe she can tell me once I get back, but for now I'll just try to get to at least the fifth floor.
As I walk forward more of the rabbits appear, but they seem easy, even though I only defeated one of these things before. They seem a little slower, and it feels like I have an increased strength or attack, or both.
"Well regardless this is fun." I say to myself with a grin.

"Haaaa haaa haaa, phew it's only just the end of the first floor, and they almost knocked me out. I'll just get to the second floor, then head back." I say to myself, and it's true, I'm almost out of breath from this floor. It felt huge, and after awhile all the rabbits continuously coming at you gets kind of boring and tiring.
Oh the stairs came up pretty fast, I wasn't really running. Oh well, down we go. Maybe there'll be something special, maybe the adventurer from the rumor, it'd be neat to see if they were real. But I don't think I'd get to meet them for awhile. If there close to a legend, then that means their in the upper eighties or lower nineties. If I don't keep getting stronger then I won't even have a chance, but I also gotta make sure I don't die in here, wouldn't exactly be the best thing to the other gods that the goddess of adventures child died on the second floor.

That was a lot of stairs, ah so this is the second floor, it seems a lot more foggy then the first floors caves. A little colder to, but not that bad. Well I did what I wanted to do, I should head back.
Clank
I... didn't pull out... my weapon, "Who's there?" I ask in the direction I heard the sound.
Step step step
Oh it might just be another adventurer
Thud thud thud
Clank
I don't think any adventurer has steps like that, should I run? No I don't think I can, that sound was towards the stairs, must mean the monster is near them, and judging by the clanking, it has a sword.
I do want to become a hero, but I don't want to take on a challenge that's nearly TWICE MY SIZE!
What is that thing. It's huge. I haven't been here very long, but I think other adventurers calling these things Nephilims, or better known as giants, and they are about the twice the size of a normal person.
Last I checked these things don't start to appear until the fifth floor.
This isn't good, it's blocking the stairs. I thought monsters couldn't move up the floors, maybe that's just what they say, or someone did this. Why would they do this though, are they trying to test someone, couldn't be me, I just started out, it can't be right.
Our eyes meet
"Well damn it, this isn't good." And I am probably dead, I can still give it a shot, and attempt to fight back. I don't think I'm strong enough to take it on though.
So this is the true feeling of fear, utter helplessness and having no ability to react. Heh well this shaking feeling, I'll make it go away and fight this thing. It's getting it's fighting stance ready, I should also get mine. I hear footsteps, who else could be here?
Huh it's the two people from outside the gate, they seem frozen, but why.
"Oi I can help you with that." It's the guy.
"No I can't let you do that, if I want to prove I want to become a hero, I have to do this myself."
"Oh she's the one you pushed down outside the gate." The guy looks away.
"You can do it!" The girl is cheering me on, now I'm fired up. Now I will prove that I can become a hero.
