"Ha, it is finally over." The group said as they all collapsed on the spot.

"Why is there a treasure chest in the middle of the room? Does someone want to go open it? I can't move my legs at all." Sam pointed out the alter that randomly appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the arena with a treasure chest on top of it.

"It is probably the reward for clearing a dungeon. Let's just open it once we're all done. I am so exhausted…" Benji said as he laid on the ground closing his eyes.

"That's a no can do. In a few minutes after clearing the dungeon, we will be teleported back outside to the front of the dungeon. And then it will vanish from the world." Elise said as she got up to lift open the treasure chest that was shut.

"I wonder what's in here," Elise said as she opened it.

"What is it, Elise?" The group asked her as they just saw her stare at the stuff inside the treasure chest with a stunned expression.

"Just come over and look," Elise said as she beckoned for them all to come over.

"Now, I wonder what could make you so shocked Elise," The group said as they walked over and looked in the treasure chest.

"No way! This can't be true!" They all shouted in unison as they also stared at the treasure chest in shock. What was it you may ask? Well, it was obviously something that did not fit the reward for what they had to fight.

It was just five rainbow coins. Something Sam and the others didn't need. It may be for Maal, Benji, and Chad. However, now that they had someone like Sam to pay for everything, what was the point?

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONLY FIVE RAINBOW COINS! WE WOULD'VE DIED IF MARIA DIDN'T HAVE HEAL!" Sam shouted as he actually expected something better than just mere rainbow coins that he had tons of.

"Welp, just grab it before it disappears and we are left with nothing." Elise said as she took the five rainbow coins before the dungeon teleported them outside.

"And there goes the dungeon," Elise said as she watched the dungeon disappear as the cave returned to its normal form.

"We are so dirty, what will the people think of us now?" Chad said as he looked at his clothing and his hair.

"Ha, I have no idea. Should we go turn in our mission at the Adventurer's Guild or go home first?" Sam asked them.

"Of course we're going to turn in the mission first. Just so I can take my long rest at home after taking a shower." Maria said.

"Alright then, let's go nya," Maal said as she started heading to the Adventurers Guild.

They did not expect something to be in store for them when they came back. Not a congratulations but, something even scarier than that… Something that will always haunt them when they go back.
