At the easternmost part of Himlir's main continent lies the world's freest city, the adventurer's capital - Bangisto.
This is the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild, a world-class organization spread across the entire continent. Everything in the entire city revolves around adventurers, making it a holy place that countless adventurers yearn for.
At the same time, this is also the bridgehead of this world and the most powerful fortress in the world...
... ...
Tick, tick, tick...
A series of footsteps echoed in the dim stone corridor of the dungeon.
A team of adventurers, holding torches, are advancing cautiously in the dungeon.
despair--!
At some point, the team stopped moving forward collectively.
Looking at the road ahead blocked by a wall, they showed helpless expressions.
"Why is it another dead end?"
One of the team complained.
"I haven't had any luck lately. If this continues, I'll be sleeping in the animal shed next month."
"Can't you say something nice?"
Another team member blamed.
"I think it's you who keeps talking nonsense all day long, and you've taken away all the fortune that belongs to us!"
"What? What does this have to do with me? Don't put the blame on me!"
"Hey, you two, be quiet. We're in a dangerous underground now. If you keep arguing, you might attract the dungeon monsters."
The team leader spoke.
However, the two team members did not stop arguing.
"Captain, I didn't provoke him. It was this guy who suddenly started to cause trouble."
"Don't act like a victim. You're the one who led us here, aren't you?"
"So what if I took you there? You don't even know how to get there, so what right do you have to blame me?"
As he said this, the adventurer pushed the team member.
"What, you bastard!"
The adventurer who was pushed was so angry that he pushed back hard.
The two men pushed each other in the underground passage.
Seeing this scene, the team leader couldn't help but hold his forehead and shouted loudly:
"That's enough, you two. If you want to fight, go back and do it!"
"No, he was the first to strike—"
One of the people who were fighting wanted to argue, but was pushed against the wall by the other person without paying attention.
"You bastard!"
He was angry and tried to stand up by supporting himself against the wall.
Snap!
Unexpectedly, when his right hand pressed on a brick close to the ground, the brick sank in.
Then——
Boom!
There was a sudden roar from the wall behind him.
"W-what?!"
Before he could react, he lost his balance and rolled down the stone stairs because of the passage that suddenly appeared behind him.
The other people in the team couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this scene.
Then, everyone showed excitement.
"Hidden room! It's a hidden room!"
"It's found, there must be treasures inside, go down and take a look!"
As they spoke, the group rushed into the underground passage impatiently.
It wasn't long before they reached the end of the passage.
Just as they expected, there was indeed a hidden room.
The room was large, but looked empty.
"Where's the treasure? Where is the treasure?"
The adventurers who rushed in looked around excitedly.
"Hey! I'm talking to you guys!"
At this time, the team member who rolled down earlier said to several people angrily,
"You didn't save me just now! If there was a trap down here, I'd be doomed!"
"Alright, alright, you're fine, aren't you? Compared to that, didn't you see anything valuable when you came down here?"
"How would I know? I just got up from the ground—"
"Tsk, you're such a useless guy, forget it, let's spread out and look for it."
"good!"
"Here comes the treasure~!"
After saying that, several people dispersed.
“Ah??? Hey! Hey! You guys—!”
The team member who fell was furious and quickly chased after him.
"Stop right there!"
"I came down first, so I should get the treasure first!"
"Who cares about you..."
after a while.
Several adventurers reunited.
They all looked at each other in bewilderment.
“… …”
"What kind of crappy place is this?! Why is there nothing here?"
"Damn it, has this place been visited before?"
"Even if it had been visited before, it wouldn't be this clean... It's like there was nothing here from the beginning."
The team leader pondered.
"Huh? There's nothing here, so what's the point of this room?!"
Several team members looked puzzled.
"Who knows..."
The team leader looked up at the only mural in the room that could be called a decoration, and then walked towards it.
The mural seemed to depict a scene of a great battle.
The human holding the sword defeated a demon and imprisoned him under a tower and in a rock.
"...Captain, have you found anything?"
Seeing that the captain was staring at the mural, a team member asked.
The captain shook his head.
"I didn't find anything, I just thought this mural was a little strange."
"strangeness?"
After hearing this, several team members also started to study it.
