《Ancient Adventurer Return》God of Greed
Advertisement
« I never even once imagined that the world could become...So beautiful. » Said Bora as he looked at what lied before him. As soon as he escaped the temple he ran as far away as possible and arrived at the foot of a gigantic structure. It was a sphere made out of the same strange red metal that the God Statues were made of. It was linked to the ground via some rock stairs that looked like they could survive through anything. All around the sphere, nature had grown beautifully.
Gigantic trees that created a dense forest you couldn't even see through, rivers filled with life, and most importantly....Vines everywhere. For some reasons Bora really hated vines now.
' Well it is only normal that the world would change so much, what's with all that Mana invading earth and those dungeons popping everywhere.' Said Aria. Given that it didn't have a name, Bora decided to call it Aria.
« Soooo, is that a dungeon ? I know they can look like pretty much anything but I never saw ones like that. » Asked Bora, tilting his head as he looked around the structure.
´ Yes it is indeed a dungeon but not any dungeon. It is a Mythical Dungeon. Dungeons are ranked like this: Low, Intermediate, High, Mythical, Legendary, Divine and Unknown. The Unknown dungeons are impossible to find, only the Gods know what they are and what's inside them. Anyway while it may seem incredible to find a Mythical dungeon, it's not really all that rare. The thing is that the first three ranks of dungeon can be found anywhere, only the other three, considering that Unknown dungeons don't count, are seen as rare. And since Mythical is the lowest of the three, it's seen as rare but not incredibly so. ' Said Aria, which caused Bora to sigh.

« And here i thought i would get some cool things in this dungeon. » Said Bora.
´Master, while it's the rarest dungeon it's still amazing that you found it. Because it was never explored, and as such the first rewards are still there. The first rewards are always the best in a dungeon, that is why adventurers, hunters, Knights and Magicians are searching for new dungeons and not just exploring already used dungeons. Also a mythical dungeon is not just a treasure room. I mean you won't enter and find the rewards instantly. A dungeon is a war zone, and a mythical dungeon is considered to be dangerous for everyone under Tier 7.' Said Aria.
« Tiers...It's what people use to determinate the rank of pretty much everything right ? I remember hearing that it goes from 0 to 10 and then from Mythical to Unknown. It's quite useful. But what tier am I at ? » Asked Bora, his greedy mind wishing that he was atleast tier 7 so he could get the sweet rewards from the dungeon. There should be some shiny things in there, he so loved shiny things.
' Well you are currently at tier 1. When you got trapped in that statue, an energy entered you. It was the divine energy of the God of Greed. Since you were just a mere human, your body would've imploded if it had tried to keep this energy, which is why i was awoken. During all those years I learned to master this energy as much as I could, but could never give it to you. You won't be able to use it until you reach the mythical tier. But I can still use it, for crafting weapons per exemple. Weapons that you could keep for later or even sell to become rich.' Said Aria as Bora's eyes shone brightly when he heard the word rich. But he quickly calmed down as something got his curiosity.

« The God of Greed ? I don't remember seeing this God anywhere on earth. Who is he ? I mean I do know that the temple was somewhat linked to him, but I don't know much about it.
´ That is why you should've focused on important things when you were able to see the world like an omnipotent being. You woul've discovered that the God of Greed and all the other gods that represent the seven deadly sins were trapped in hell by the God of Gods. Apparently they tried to corrupt him or something like that. Anyway this God had prepared in advance and let a part of hus energy inside this temple, so that a greedy human would come and take it.' Said Aria.
« Hey I may be a little greedy but come on ! I'm not greedy enough to get the energy of the God of Greed himself. » Exclaimed Bora, trying to defend himself.
' Well things are like this. I have the energy of the God of Greed and can use it to help you. As it's the energy of greed, it can be mainly used to copy, steal or multiply things. Which could make you rich and powerful in no time. The only problem is that I have a limited amount of this energy, so we should use it wisely.' Said Aria as Bora was drooling,
« Haha...Copy, Steal and Multiply shiny things.... » Said Bora lost in his own world. But he was quickly brought out of his musings by a deep growl that came from behind him. Bora turned around and immediately screamed.
« Ahhhhhh!!!! »
He didn't even take the time to understand the situation and quickly climbed the stairs, he then entered the dungeon and breathed a sigh of relief. However as he turned around he saw the thing, standing just in front of the entrance. The entrance to the dungeon was just a double door with windows, so Bora could clearly see it. It was huge, maybe 3 meters tall, it had two long teeth made out of crystal and a set of white razor-sharp teeth. It was looking at Bora with it's two golden orbs filled with curiosity. It had a red and black fur that gave it a terrifying appearence.
« What the... »
´ The guardian of the dungeon...A Mythical Crystal-Tooth Tiger. »
