"Dungeon, Dungeon, we're going to explore Dungeon~." Kimi sings.

"Dungeon, Dungeon, an adventure awaits within the Dungeon~." Chloe sings along. She connects the lyrics sung by Kimi.

"We'll find the treasure!"

Kimi jumped up and raised both arms.

"We will find glory!"

Chloe imitated Kimi's movements.

"We'll find a girl! Inside the Dungeon!"

Now, the two little girls combined their hands and circled together several times before finally stopping.

The two little girls again raised both arms and shook their hands and sang, "Adventure inside the Dungeon... Yey..."

Sitting on a park bench, I saw their behavior and I could only smile. Then, I turned my head towards the fourth Party member, Alan.

"You don't want to sing and dance, Alan?"

"No, thank you."

"Why? That looks fun!"

"If that's fun. Why doesn't sis Eclaite sing or dance?"

I blinked and turned my face away. "I'm too old to sing and dance like that."

"I don't think age has anything to do with singing and dancing. And isn't sis Eclaite is still young?"

"Hmm... Then..." I said as I stood up. I grabbed Alan's hands and pulled him away from the chair to get closer to me. "Let's sing and dance together, Alan!"

"Wait, no!" cried a panicked Alan.

"You're too late," I said and started pulling him to dance with me.

"Dungeon, Dungeon, we're going to explore Dungeon~." I started singing.

"Oh!"

Two little girls were amazed to see us.

"Dungeon, Dungeon, an adventure waiting inside the Dungeon~, sing with me, Alan," I asked.

But Alan whose face was flushed and who was in my arms shook his head with vigor.

"We'll find a treasure! It's fun! Right?" I asked and Alan shook his head again.

It's strange, why doesn't he feel happy? Maybe I'm pouring less passion into this dance? It could have happened.

Sure by that theory, I wanted to make Alan feel happy by dancing much better. But, before I had time to do it, a familiar voice was heard.

"What are you doing?"

I stopped dancing and turned to the source of the voice. There, I found Ruciel looking at us. One end of the lips on her pretty face trembled.

"Dance!" I said with great enthusiasm to answer Ruciel.

And for some reason, the Fallen Elf girl rubbed her face with both hands.

"Dancing she said, can you believe that!" Ruciel whispered.

The whisper may not be heard by a human. But to me, a Beastkin, that whisper still sounded clear.

"You want to dance, Ruciel?"

"No!" She cries out.

The girl walked up to me quickly. She's standing right in front of me! Then, she pressed on the top of my left chest with her index finger.

"We're not assembling in here to dance! We're going to explore the Foltian Great Dungeon! Let the boy go and start checking the equipment you're carrying!" Ruciel gave the order in a threatening tone.

I who was afraid replied with, "Yes ma'am!"

Then, I released Alan to start checking the supplies and equipment I was carrying.

Mimicking me, Kimi, Chloe, and Alan also checked their stuff.

Time passes...

"Wow~"

Four people voiced their admiration while standing in front of Denbu or White Tower.

Well... Dungeon Entrance Building is a term used in Ark Fantasy Online to refer to the tower that became the entrance of the Foltian Great Dungeon.

While the white tower is a term that people in this world use to refer to the entrance of the Foltian Great Dungeon.

In addition to being an entrance, the White Tower also became a fortress. This tower was meant to block the monsters that came out of the Dungeon when an episode called Monsters Stampede occurred.

"Don't keep daydreaming. Quickly enter the tower, we don't need to waste time here," Ruciel said.

And we walked, up the stairs to the big, dark brown double door.

After passing through the entrance of the White Tower, we were greeted by a minimalist lobby dominated by two colors. The lobby floor is made of black marble. The walls and ceiling of this place are white. Dozens of golden-white Lamp Crystals became the lobby's light source. And some decorative plants in here give a fresh feeling.

In short, this lobby is beautiful.

And of course, this lobby was filled with dozens of Adventurers and Bag Carriers. Surprisingly enough, I was also able to see merchants, knights, and the citizens.

We followed Ruciel who walked close to a queue. We had to stand for a few minutes before our turn arrived.

"How many people are in your party? And please take out your Adventurer Card."

Ruciel said, "five." To answer the White Tower Staff's questions. After that, she collected our Adventurer Card. Not long after, she asked for a silver coin from me.

The coin becomes an entry fee.

Each Adventurer had to pay twenty bronzes to be allowed to enter and explore the Foltian Great Dungeon.

After purchasing a permit to enter or some kind of ticket, we were allowed to enter the heart of the White Tower. The part where the Dungeon Gate is located.

This place is a great hall.

The black floor and white walls were the same as the lobby earlier. But, a dark blue rectangular pillar in the middle of this hall made a difference.

That rectangular pillar was a Dungeon Gate!

The four sides of the pillar are decorated by a gate that has a light door. Above each gate is a large jewel. The gate with the green jewel is the entrance while the gate with the red jewel is the exit.

Dungeon Gate is amazing and we're approaching it now.

We walked among hundreds of people before we finally stood in front of the Dungeon Gate. We saw the beauty and majesty of this gate up close.

To use the Dungeon Gate we had to queue again. We had to let the Adventurers in front of us in first before our turn arrived.

It's so unfortunate, I want to admire this Dungeon Gate much longer but...

"Let's go!"

Ruciel wouldn't let me.

Together and while holding hands, we walked and entered the Dungeon Gate to pass the light.

For a while, everything around us disappeared, replaced with white light.

We felt our bodies drift for a while before finally returning as we stepped on the ground.

A moment later, the white light disappeared to reveal a completely different scene from the heart of the White Tower.

The new scenery we saw was a view of a simple village. And far behind the village was a dense green forest! The vast blue sky surprised us.

This sight made us feel doubtful that we were currently inside the Dungeon!

But literally, we were inside the Dungeon. And that was proved by Ruciel who said, "Welcome to the Foltian Great Dungeon!"
