Chapter 3

After explaining the information about the dungeon. Ars then took out a book from under the table and pushed it in front of Shakky and Rayleigh.

"You guys have heard about the dungeon information. The book itself records items that you can exchange if you have enough crystals. Please have a look"

Rayleigh immediately took the book and opened it. The first page of the book records the special items that can be exchanged within the Guild. These items include Awakening Crystals, Time Cloth, Gravity Space, Devil Fruit Resurrection Pill, Money and Communication Tools. On the page it is also written how many crystals adventurers must collect in order to get the item and also contains an explanation of each item.

"Okay, yes. Just a reminder to you two. The value of the crystal itself is 1 large crystal which is equivalent to 100 medium crystals, while 1 medium crystal has a value equivalent to 100 small crystals."

However, the explanation given by Ars regarding the value of the crystal was ignored by Rayleigh and Shakky because both of them were immediately surprised when they found out the items that could be exchanged especially for Rayleigh who was surprised after reading the information about the baang called the Awakening Crystal.

However, Rayleigh immediately brushed it off and then looked at Ars.

"Does this stuff really exist? Especially for the item called Awakening Crystal. It was very hard to believe that there was an item that could resurrect someone who had died. In addition, through the explanation given by you regarding the dungeon. It's hard for me to accept that."

"I think so too" Ars smiled a little. "It would be strange if you believed all my words even though you yourself have traveled this world before and know a lot about this world."

Ars then walked out from where he was before and looked at Rayleigh and Shakky "Come with me. I'll take you guys inside the dungeon and verify it. So that both of you can believe my words and not think that I am a liar."

Rayleigh and Shakky looked at each other then followed Ars to a door at the left of the back of the Guild building.

"This door is the entrance to the dungeon. While the door on the right is the exit from the dungeon. For someone who wants to enter the dungeon. They must be registered as adventurers and have permission to enter the dungeon. The way to enter itself is quite easy, you only need to stick your adventure card towards the front and then let the door do the work."

Ars used his own card and immediately stuck it out in front of the entrance. Immediately, a scene appeared that made Rayleigh and Shakky very impressed because they saw a scan technology that immediately scanned Ars' adventurer card.

Immediately the entrance opened and revealed a portal that had formed in front of Ars and the others. Rayleigh and Shakky currently their emotions and feelings are uncertain. They could now be said to have believed everything Ars had said before.

Rayleigh's current feelings could be said to be full of excitement and excitement. Because he had the opportunity to meet his best friend and captain, Gol D. Roger.

"The portal in front of this is the entrance. When we enter this portal, this portal will immediately teleport us to the safe zone in the dungeon. The safe zone itself is a safe area that is impossible for monsters to enter. They can't attack an adventurer who is in the safe zone and even adventurers can't fight inside the safe zone because there is a security mechanism there. Anyone who will violate it will receive a fatal law."

"What about the three of us entering together? Will we be teleported to a different place?" Shakky asked with great interest.

"Not. We will be teleported to the same place. We just need to enter at the same time and this portal will immediately teleport us to the same place. Come in"

Ars immediately stepped in followed by Rayleigh and Shakky.

Dungeon, Floor 1, Small Safe Zone number 23.

Ars and the others finally arrived in the dungeon and were currently in the small safety zone number 23 which was right in the middle of the dungeon. When they arrived, everyone was immediately shown a large number of monsters called Titans currently around them. Because their body size is very large and tall. Rayleigh and Shakky could see them very clearly.

"Welcome to the first floor dungeon" Ars smiled then looked ahead, "The monster in front of your eyes is a monster called Titan. Right now we're in a small safe zone where it won't be affected by the world out there."

Ars then turned his attention towards the machine in the safe zone, "You two look at the machine over there"

Rayleigh's and Shakky's gazes stared at the machine.

"That machine is called the crystal storage machine. You can use the machine to use the crystals obtained to be stored in your adventurer identity card which will later be converted into numeric units. This will also make it easier for you to carry crystals obtained through hunting in dungeons."

"On each floor in the dungeon there are 1000 safe zones which are divided into 10 large safe zones and 990 small safe zones. Each group can take ownership or control of a safe zone. However, this only applies to large safe zones and not to small safe zones. The large safe zone is marked by the presence of an iron pole in the middle of the safe zone. Later if a group has taken ownership of the large safe zone. They will later benefit from getting 5% of the total hunting income carried out by their territory which is carried out by people who are not from their group. The income will go directly to their group card at 3 pm and can be used to exchange goods.

Then, in the center area of every floor in the dungeon except for the sixth floor. There is a building that stands so high that it reaches the sky. The building is a staircase that can take someone to go up to the next floor. Usually these buildings are not protected by monsters. However, in the case of the fourth floor. The building was protected by monsters and only those who had defeated the floor leader had the right to ascend to the top.

Furthermore, in the dungeon there was no food. Any monsters that someone managed to kill would instantly disappear into particles and then leave only crystals. As for the drinking water problem. In this dungeon there are quite a number of rivers on each floor. Adventurers don't have to worry about drinking problems."

"What if an adventurer has already reached the 2nd floor? Will he be able to directly teleport there upon entering the dungeon?" Rayleigh asked to gather information. Rayleigh had now set his goal of becoming an adventurer.

"Yes. They can do it. They only need to think about the location of their destination and later the portal will direct them to the floor they reach. Meanwhile, if a person has joined a group and his group already has the territory controlled. They will be immediately transferred to their group's territory later if their group controls more than one area. They can decide which area they want to go to first when they enter the dungeon."

"The time in this dungeon is almost the same as the time in the outside world. They walk side by side. If the outside world has entered the night, inside the dungeon it has also entered the night. You can set the time here." Ars paused for a moment then continued, "The thing you need to know is that this dungeon is another world. Den-den mushi cannot reach this place if communicating from outside. Meanwhile, if communicating from within. This can be achieved. If you want to keep the communication going, you can use the communication tool that has been prepared by the Guild. These tools can be used to communicate between each other and even more than two people directly. It can even be used outside of dungeons and has many other features such as recording, taking photos, and more. Almost all the functions possessed by den-den mushi already exist in these communication tools. Also, to be able to use it, you have to use 1 small crystal to use it. Usually 1 small crystal can be used for 1 full week"

Ars paused for a moment, "Ok. You guys have now verified this place and have also seen the truth about this place. Let's go back soon. You two are not adventurers. You are not allowed to be here."

Ars then took out his adventurer ID card and stuck it out in front of him, "Get out"

Instantly in front of Ars a black portal appeared.

"Let's go in. We will immediately arrive in the Guild after passing through this portal."

Rayleigh and Shakky nodded and immediately followed Ars into the portal and disappeared into the dungeon environment.
