Before the bickering started Eric was quick to butt in their conversation

" Yona you keep guarding Alioth ,Lloyd we need you in the back line. This is the first boss so we probably are fine with just a few of us but you never know with a SSS ranked dungeon"

"Yes" they both responded while the hafling who is supposedly known as Lloyd assumed his position behind the bulking buff lady.

"Just stay close to me as possible you, if the boss turns out to be strong just run for your life and hide somewhere "Yona said seriously

That didn't sound reassuring at all, but this was the first time i would ever see a boss let alone a Max rank one . To say I was scared and excited was a understatement.

"I'm opening the boss door everyone get ready" Eric made sure to give them a few seconds to get ready

RUMBLE RUMBLE

The boss door was almost as big as the opening gate but of course Eric opened it with ease .It was funny but I had sort of grown to like this team , the little in the few hours we had been in the dungeon .I honestly thought they would be worse people , my dungeon experience must have just been unlucky.

When the door was fully open we were thrust us into a throne room of some type. There was a aged and dusty red carpet leading up to a doglike creature holding a golden staff, adorned in gold. I could only assume that was the pharaoh. On the side of the pharaoh were two Crowned mummy guards with swords as big as their bodies .We could see a door with a magic lantern posted on it, probably the loot room. Eric and buff lady were in front ,while Valentina took the mid section , leaving llyod and charloette in the very back.

The mummies drew their swords but before they could take a step a loud explosion ringed in my ears blowing their lower bodies clean off .Crazily enough they were still alive but were left crawling . A second later Lloyd finished the job he started with 2 more explosions . Seeing that his guards were taken out the pharaoh wordlessly got up and started chanting a spell .The whole room lit with a magic circle when suddenly Valentina appeared from behind him and a beheading ensued.

With that last kill I felt in my being that i was on the brink of Rank D maybe 1 more essence point is all I need.

sqlink she sheathed her spear "as expected floor one is child's play , lets get to the loot and get out of here". That was anticlimactic the so called boss room only lasted about 3 minutes , but that's to be expected from them.

"easy peasy muely its your turn " said the only female bodybuilder

I didn't particularly like her but hey she was right.

"ok" I said as I walked up to the door.

Hnnnn Hmmphhhhhhh I struggled to push the door open, I put my back into and almost broke my back.

"Do we have to do everything for you" She came over and pushed the door open with her monstrous strength.

ahh well I should thank her for that

Putting on my best smile I said "thank you!" as I walked into the treasure room. There was all types of treasure gold, swords ,crowns, staffs everything you could imagine .There was no way that all the loot in this room was going to fit in this bag even as big as it was, but ill be damned if I didn't stuff this bag to the brim.

Jumping through the loot I tried to prioritize whatever looked like It sold the best or was the most powerful over the gold coins. I already had it planned out since I would be getting 1% of all the loot I only really needed 5 or 6 items but we had a mountain of stuff, to the point where I should get at least 100coins and 5 items , which if I have to remind you are S rank. Diving and collecting the rewards I was overcome with this feeling of joy all my worries were about to come to a end. A life time supply of wealth , I can already see it now I'm going to be spoiling my grandkids in our lavish mansion, eating grapes with a wife , and maids and maybe a few concubines'.

Hahaha hehehe

"Your making a creepy face right now " Yona said from behind me

"Can i be happy for once"

"sure sure"

Yosh! I filled the whole bag it must've weighed 100kg but that was nothing compared to the weight of my future that I carried. Hunching over i made my way towards the dungeon exit. Mother, father your son has finally did it I've finally gotten out of poverty , we'll never have to carry luggage again. We can live the good life and relax, finally , finally.

"Ehh Ehh Ehhh not so fast F rank" I heard a familiar and annoying feminine voice call

When I turned around it was no other then Valentina .Her spear was placed directly on my neck.

"uhh Ms. Valentina what are you doing ?"

I had a feeling she was going to take all the loot for herself and I had been bamboozled, but I didn't want to jump to assumptions ... for my own mental health's sake.

"Everything that is in that bag is for us, did you really believe we would let a F ranker have S rank loot? How naive, no dumb can you get? hahaha"

I wasn't in shock nor was I naive honestly I expected this to happen. Though it pains me to say it I guess I can kiss the easy route of life goodbye , but I wouldn't let something like this get me down. Not only was I still alive but i was super duper extremely close to D rank and that alone was enough. I could've just gone to a few d rank dungeons and achieved the same results but hey.

"You mean your not going to uphold you end of the deal? but but"

Had to make it look like I couldn't believe it though, acting is important sometimes.

"When you put it like that you make me sound like a criminal "

Looking around most of the party members didn't have any expression for what was happening .This seemed like daily routine to them, I guess that's why their other baggage handler left, he got tired of this BS. The only two who had a small face of guilt was Yona, she couldn't look me in the eye like she did before and Eric who had a furrowed expression.

" We should at least give him one item , its not right that we do this to Low ranks" Yona said in my defense

"1 item is worth at least 70,000 gold pieces are you crazy or did you become soft." Valentina interjected

"we really have no need for it, this has to be the thousandth Dungeon of this caliber we've raided, 1 item for us is just more commas in our already loaded bank account, one item for the Fledging could be life changing"

"I agree" Eric said sternly

Yona, eric I wiped a small tear from my eye. They really were decent people... at least compared to the rest.

"fine you get 1 thing and 1 thing only , and I better not hear you spreading rumors about us or your dead , got it?"

She always had the worst attitude , her and muscle brains anyway. Looking around all I could see were things that looked super expensive, even one of these was worth more then my house .Looking back over to the wild Valentina hawking me, I decided its best not to take anything that looks too juicy, next thing you know Valentina would come looking for me .It was a joke but judging from her character she could seriously assassinate me if I took something of too much value. Looking around I spotted the only thing that wasn't gold , it was a silver necklace, around that lace was some type of effigy? Weird but ok it didn't look to be worth that much so i got closer to the item.

Now that i got a better look at it , it wasn't a necklace at all but a total statue .What i mistaken for the a lace was some type of octocreatures tentacles .The statue displayed a women with a hole in her chest being impaled by a tentacled creatures attached to her head. It looked strange indeed, even cursed but that was exactly why it wouldn't raise any ire if I took that and went on my merry way. Picking up my trash loot treasure I pocketed it and dropped the bag I was planning to carry.

"Thank you for your graciousness" I said as I got away from the bag.

"your damn right , now lets see all the juicy shit i got" she said rubbing her hands together

Now that I think about it their plan was poorly put together, if they were going to do this they didn't need me in the party to begin with. Valentina must not have been the best with strategies ,impulsive, or maybe she just liked antagonizing people either/or could be the answer. Whatever I was over this and just wanted to leave at this point.

The whole crew walked over to the bag and started looking at what I had gathered. I didn't feel any anger or hatred in truth everything was rightfully theirs , and I really didn't help out in the slightest, aside from their nasty personalities in my eyes everything was fair.

CLaeeh BOOM The Treasure door closed behind us

" Its been 1000 years since my last batch of foolish adventurers .So long ago that i forgot how cannibalistic the mortal races actions are, Fighting amongst yourselves in the middle of a dungeon ?" A mysterious faceless robed humanoid appeared.

As the figure was getting ready for more dialogue ,Eric appeared before it His sword shining a brilliant gold

" Holy Slash! "

A massive magic shield appeared in front of the figure repelling the attack and knocking him to the ground , seemingly effortlessly.

"ahh i love futile resistances. anyway as I was saying its been 1000 years since my last few victims .Ahhh those were the days"

"Who are you" Llyd said as he was preparing a hand incantation

"dispel"

Lloyds magic spell instantly stopped. I could tell the shota was shocked because he made an audible gasp

"Impossible . you dispelled my magic? Does a spell like that even exist"

"I am the dungeon lord. i am the lord of the infinite dungeon"

"What that's impossible " Eric said while getting back to his feet

" Ahhh the mortal races, you guys always believe this or that is impossible it sure takes me back. I could kill you all here back, but that takes away all the fun and I'd just be alone for the next few hundreds years again. mhhh what to do , what to do"

Valentina appeared behind the Dungeon lord ready to attack but was sent flying just as easily as Eric was.

"Oooh i got it i should make you guys go through the whole dungeon and watch your pointless struggles as entertainment "

"You bastard do you know who your dealing with" The brute of a women came into action

"my victims?" the figure said without giving proper face to the s rank adventurers

"I'm going to kill you"

"yea yea sure you are, oh what this "

The Dungeon lord appeared before me " you were so weak I didn't even notice your presence, now how did you manage to get all the way over here?"

The pressure I felt from this being brought me to me knees it was unbelievable. Hnrkkk I couldn't breath

"Mhh what's this you have oooh hehehe very nice very nice"

He made the effort to reach into my pouch .His hands were long and inhuman with his nails resembling razors,. "Ohh ahh aren't you a lucky one, I forgot this was here"

Hrrkkk I was going to pass out from lack of oxygen

"oh oops I forgot you shouldn't be able to breath , oh what's this your close to rank D MAN! How amusing Your really taking me back to when I was a low level dungeon monster .But you know you aren't going to survive this dungeon for even a second being such a low level. What to do , what to do oh I know! here eat this."

Grabbing my the back of my head he tilted it backwards, unable to stop him he to the liberty to force the strange statue down my throat. HRRHEEEH HREEE HEREEHEER I was already needing air but not he was stuffing that statue down my throat. It felt like I was deepthroating a metal ball with sharp edges. My eyes waters and I gagged trying to get the foreign object out of my throat.

"no uh uh don't vomit this is for your own good or really for my enjoyment "

The villain stated pushing it deeper into my throat " don't worry its going to dissolve soon enough, "

"Get off him " Yona yelled as she dashed towards me

ACKK He grabbed Yona by the neck mhhh

"are you a friend of this one? mhhh no matter your friend will be fine in fact you should be thanking me .Sigh the woes of someone as great as me could never be understood by the likes of simple adventurers "

Throwing her next to me who was drinking the once solid now liquid sculpture , taste like grapefruit incase you were wondering. For some reason that thing he forced fed me pushed me over the limit From F To D but right now I didn't have the time to check over my stat page or do the summoning of my first summon creature. The Dungeon lord began to float back up announcing

"well im done here , look I'm going to trap you adventurers within the dungeon you'll have to make it to floor 9999 in order to find me .I mean seriously what idiots would try to loot a dungeon like this without expecting anything to happen. Don't worry the earlier levels will be a piece of cake but it will get progressively harder bit by bit. Lets just call this my little experiment"

With that a message stating I had been kicked from the party popped up.

"ill separate all of you into different floors , you can meet up, live , make babies , kill each other, kill me heck do whatever , just don't bore me"

"Start dungeon!"
