The Cheat Seed

*ZzzT*

Marcus Landed face first with a thud on what felt like a hard rocky ground. He laid there, without moving an inch.

'Am I dead'

Was the thought which was running inside his mind.

With a groan he turned and lied on his back.

'Is this the so called heaven?'

'But this looks dark'

And he was lying there, just like that, His face towards the sky.

Sky? No, Why was it black. Wait that's not the sky. He sat up straight and looked around. He started trembling as he figured out where he was.

From the looks of it, it was a Dungeon!!. He figured it out even with the pitch black darkness around him, But there was some bright light at the very end, right the way he faced.

He remembered learning about Dungeons at the Academy. Professor Jules had explained about different Ranks of Dungeons and the method to identify them. Krozon only had low level Dungeons, so it was not a big problem for Marcus....Or as he thought.

He stood up and slid slowly towards the Dungeon wall and started walking towards the light which was glowing at the far end.

"It must be a D ranked dungeon, I guess"

D ranked Dungeons had White colored Crystals stuck on the walls. These Crystals were later mined and then purified to a better form known as Rune Stones. These specific 'Rune Stones' can be used to Enhance a weapon or even make one itself.

The Color of the Crystals determined its level and white was of the lowest level.

The dungeons are also determined by these Crystals and as he was moving through the pitch black dungeon, Marcus's frantic hands accidently grasped on one.

As soon as he felt the crystal, he readied his specs in anticipation to examine the color of the crystal he was covering with his hands. He let go of the crystal and stepped back. The light from the Path shined meekly at the crystal. As soon as the light hit the crystal, Marcus's eye widened and he stumbled back.

"Bla....Black!?"

A black crystal was the highest level of ore and it determined a Dungeon of Rank SC!!.
