The first time you will be going into the dungeon as an adventurer with the blessing of your god/goddess. There couldn't have been a more perfect day with the bright sun clearly visible in the deep blue sky, a gentle breeze blowing through the streets bringing with it the aromas of baked goods from the shops that have recently opened up. Main Street is filled with adventurers heading towards the dungeon, veterans and rookies alike, equipped in the best gear they can afford. General chatter fills the air as parties and familia members talk with each other and visit the many stalls on the way to the dungeon. Rows of houses and buildings stretch all the way down to the Tower of Volkrun, up until a large courtyard in front of the massive structure. There supporters, those part of a familia but not strong enough to enter the dungeon alone, meet up with adventurers to head in together while supporters not hired by an adventurers attempt to sell their services. You have left the Guild House after meeting with your assigned Guild Advisor. There are no changes or emergencies in the dungeon so for today it should be the safest it can be for new adventurers however you are restricted to the first floor. Still, excitement fills you walk down through the large crowd. The Tower of Volkrun standing tall in the distance, a monument to the gods who through their blessings you are able to fight the monsters below. At last you arrive at the courtyard that marks the entrance to the Tower and Dungeon. You notice that there a few other adventurers who seem to be just starting out as well judging by their gear. There is no more time to waste! The start of a great adventure awaits! [/center] [@Achronum] [center][color=f49ac2][i]I'm relying on you to do your best, alright Renji? Fight with grace and come back safely.[/i][/color][/center] The words and visage of your goddess float inside your mind as stop in front of the Tower of Volkrun, there is a reason why she is a goddess of beauty. From the way she first messed around with your hair to get it 'just right', you could get the sense that your goddess might just be a little obsessed with your appearance. Your first time inside the Familia's manor was quite a shock as well, since nearly every member was either drop-dead gorgeous or ruggedly handsome and now you were associated with them. Before you left to leave the dungeon today, she fussed over your appearance for five straight minutes. You got the impression that it was more than her being concerned about your looks and perhaps her own way of showing worry. Today you will be venturing into the Dungeon alone and simply coming out alive will be a victory. Suddenly, you see them. Members of the Athena Familia in a party likely heading for the middle or lower floors. Your eyes spot the well-known adventurer, Feron near the back of the group. His signature glaive attached to the back of his white leather long-coat, he simply radiates an aura of strength. Briefly his eyes meet with yours, before they walk into the tower and likely down into the dungeon. [@Polaris North] [center][color=a2d39c]You're gonna do great Via, I just know it! Go show them the strength of the Kagu-Tsuchi Familia![/color][/center] You are currently waiting in the large courtyard waiting for an older member of Familia to come, they seem to be a little late at the moment. Your god, Kagu-Tsuchi, felt it best for you to start as a supporter for one of the other members familia for your first delve into the dungeon. That of course means you will still be getting your fair share of the valis, since one of the many mottos of the Kagu-Tsuchi Familia is: [color=a2d39c]"Anything worth doing is worth charging money for!"[/color]. The adventurer you will be supporting is an dwarf by the name of Amrec, a level 3 adventurer from what you know of him. [hider=Amrec, Dwarven Beserker] [img]https://img.fireden.net/tg/image/1453/87/1453873718328.jpg[/img] [/hider] At last he arrives, a long ginger beard in a long braid and two smaller ones on each side while the top of his head is completely shaven except for a Mohawk. Two one-handed, bearded axes hang of both sides of his hips as he walks towards you. Amrec, as you learned from Kagu, is more of a berserker than a tank and has a B-rank strength attribute [color=f9ad81]"You look ready to go into the dungeon lass!"[/color] His bellowing voice cheerfully calls out, a smile hidden underneath his thick beard [color=f9ad81]"Not every-day you get to follow the great Amrec into battle!"[/color] He laughs heartily, a joking tone in his voice. [@Trainerblue192] [center][color=6ecff6]Take your time today, my child. I have faith you will show me great things but pace yourself. I will eagerly await your return.[/color][/center] Poseidon's words whisper in your ears as you walk down the main street of Vezion, accompanied by another Poseidon Familia adventurer who is also entering the dungeon for the first time today. Her name is Misha and she is a werewolf, the two of you joined the Familia around the same time. Just from speaking to her a few times before, you know that can quite an airhead at times but the way she fights with a spear is quite something. Her teal eyes, like the grand ocean, are wide open as the two of you pass by several food stalls. Poseidon said that the two of you would party at least for today to make things easier on the both of you. [hider=Misha, Werewolf Spearwoman] [img]http://pm1.narvii.com/6566/7a253c712ffaedfb3218a21f02b133e2ab01f9d2_00.jpg[/img] [/hider] [color=f26522]"Wow, everything smells so good!"[/color] She cries out then looks up at you with determined eyes [color=f26522]"We should get some snacks after the dungeon, Mare!" [/color] Whether she was enthusiastic about the food or the dungeon, it was not quite clear. The first floor is where every newbie adventurer begins and is where your advisor told you to go. It was only when your abilities went up that she said she would consider granting access to the second floor. The two of you are about as ready as you can be to go into the dungeon. [@Duoya] [center][color=a187be][i]Don't push yourself too hard when you're in there, okay? If you do get hurt, well, I'll be here to heal you. This is just the start, May.[/i][/color][/center] Inside the dungeon, there is wealth to be had whether from magic stones or from rare drop items. The deeper you go, the more valuable stuff that is dropped or can be found. A fortune can be made by adventurers strong enough to push beyond themselves. Some adventurers pass you on the way to the dungeon equipped with gear that must have cost hundreds of thousands of Valis, most of them likely carrying potions made by your Familia. Your spell, Purification, is quite a useful one for staying alive in the dungeon and has the potential to save someone in need. You are not the only new adventurer from the Isis Familia who are going into the dungeon today it seem. A hume bunny, Klou Renfar, is also on the move towards the dungeon. It is still possible to reach her and perhaps party up, allowing the two of you to take on more monsters and defeat them easier. Of course with a party comes splitting the valuable magic stones dropped by the monsters. Whatever you decide, it is time to enter the dungeon and begin your fortune! [@chukklehed] [center][color=a187be]Ah my dear Klou, today is the first time you are going into the dungeon isn't it? How far you have come...Trust in yourself and you will be fine.[/color][/center] Today you will no longer watch as other familia members come and leave from the dungeon. Today you are finally ready to tackle it yourself and find that adventure you seek. Older familia adventurers have often told you stories from the dungeon and how it gets crueler and more unpredictable the far you go down. It thanks to their knowledge that you have a strong idea of what awaits you in the long corridors of the maze-like dungeon. Killing monsters is good but you know that there are times when you must flee a dangerous situation. From looking around, you know you won't be the only new adventurer being tested on floor 1. In fact, there is May Corwell some distance behind you as you make your way to the dungeon's entrance. She is just starting out as well but has not been in the familia nearly as long as you have, so in a sense you are her senior. At some point in the familia's manor you overheard that she had a pretty decent healing spell which might help if you got hurt.
