1 Chapter 0

Deep in the heart of the forbidden forest of the central continent, where high ranking monsters waltz around like the everyday rabbit, lays a cave, a very unique cave. For if someone goes further inside, they would be met with two large, heavy stone doors standing many meters high. The door stood ominously as if it were holding the secrets of the universe behind it's gates. However, that was far from the truth, inside was nothing more than a 400 square meter room. What filled the room was no more impressive, it was dark, no lights, with nothing more than an oversized throne that looked like it was meant to seat an evil god.

The throne was made of a kind of black stone, polished down into a large throne. Many decorations sat upon it. Red cushions, many steel weapons stuck out from the sides, bones made of both man and monster decorate the empty parts, and the most extravagant piece... a large crimson crystal in the shape of a sphere impeded in the head of the throne. The crystal sat comfortably inside the throne with a size of around half a meter in diameter.

This cave had just given birth to a newborn dungeon, although currently a single room labyrinth, it will eventually become a thriving hive of monsters and many other beasts of the likes. However, it is missing the biggest piece of the puzzle, a master, a being chosen by the dungeon to act as it's guardian. A being strong enough to protect the growing dungeon by creating monsters, traps, and many of schemes to fight against monsters of the demigod level, heroes of light brought from another world, and maybe even the god's themselves!

But, right now the dungeon doesn't even have the ability to protect itself from a measly Rank F- slime. So it will first have to find itself a master. There are a few ways a dungeon can find a master, the most common way is to find a lost or already deceased soul whether it be from this world or a different one. The second way is a more difficult way, this way requires the dungeon to amass as many mana particles as possible and then condense them into a small space, this large amount of condensed mana will birth a soul. This process is easier due to the strategic location of the dungeon, because of the already large density of the forbidden forest, this is why there are so many high ranking monsters in the area. The large density of mana is good, because the denser the mana, the higher the ranking of being that will be born. There have been cases in the past where the dungeon master of a dungeon has been a slightly above average slime or a goblin with a special ability or weapon. The mana in this particular area is incredibly dense, most inferior beings might suffocate from the pressure of the mana. Not like any weaker beings would step foot anywhere near this forest. The being that will protect this dungeon will have the potential to cause a calamity upon the races of this continent.

And it will not take long before the dungeon master is born, the mana articles in the area are becoming more condensed and more pure, a soul will soon be born.

10 days later, the mana particles have become so dense that they are touching each other. The mana suddenly begins to illuminate the area, almost as bright as shining star, the particles combust creating an explosion of bright white light. The explosion was so powerful and loud that it scared all organisms, no matter the rank or the size. All was silent in a 1000 meter radius of the cave.

The light began to fade, when a figure could be seen in the core of the explosion. It was a youthful man with a stature of around 190 cm, a toned body, and an extremely hansom face. He had a full head of smooth, bitch-black hair, with a black horn sticking out the side of his head, the horn had a red vain flowing down the middle. On his back were two bat-like wings, each being around 5 feet in length. As his body slowly floated to the ground he began to open his previously closed eyes revealing the most beautiful, glittering amethyst eyes that looked like they held mini galaxies within.

His feet eventually touched the ground, one could see that the man had no cloths but luckily the smoke from the explosion covered his sleeping dragon. Mana particles began to swarm around him and engulfed his body, eventually dispersing to reveal the once naked man was now in a luxurious black suit. He then walked out of the flowing smoke to show a very calm stare eventually making his way to the throne with the crystal orb. Admiring the glorious polished stone, caressing the blades and bones emerging from within the throne. After a couple of moments of admiring, the man's, or more precise, demon's eyes moved to the crimson orb embedded within. After locking eyes with the inanimate object a noise pinged inside his head.

[ Greetings, "Dungeon Master". ]
