An Extra’s POV

"A-ahem, anyway… back to the topic at hand."

After the two prominent Adventurers had chewed Richard Lysth for a considerable length of time, and had gotten their fill, he could finally proceed with his pertinent discussion.

"First things first, after this meeting, all three of you will be publicly declared as Heroic Rank Adventurers."

They already had their badges, but this was an unavoidable ceremony.

"Now, for the important issue for discussion. I already briefly spoke to Britta and Noah about it the other day, but with all five of you here… I'd like to talk about the Dungeon Conquest."

Even though it would be impossible for none of the parties present to not have heard of the Grand Calamity Class Dungeon already, Richard reiterated it for all to hear.

There were various kinds of Dungeons, classified in the order of difficulty; Normal Class, Special Class, Chaos Class, Disaster Class, Calamity Class… and the final one… Grand Calamity Class.

The Royal Dungeon in the Capital was estimated to be around the level of a Disaster Class Dungeon, as most top-ranked Dungeons were.

Calamity Class Dungeons were rare, but there were quite a few of them. They had a similar status as Dead Zones, so most Adventurers never passed the first couple of Floors to grind Levels.

With the appearance of the first Grand Calamity Class Dungeon in over three centuries, it was pertinent to make a swift decision regarding it.

"Nearly a thousand Adventurers have already ventured inside as we speak. None of them have been heard from since. It's safe to say that it's a very dangerous mission."

Of course, the Adventurers who ventured in could be considered fodder compared to the likes of Heroic Rank Adventurers. They were simply desperate for some kind of benefit and wished to try their luck.

No high-ranked Adventurer worth their salt would be so careless.
