Chapter 5: Mortal Féé

The light bulb flew left and right leaving behind crystal fragment of light covering the whole cave with sparkling light scent which resemble the view that one could see in the dark sky covered with thousands of stars

But…

Nobody among the batch of captives that make it this far could smile nor admire the scent, as all their attention was carried on to the message bar that appeared in front of them, Even though some of the messages have already been wiped out, one in particular kept repeating itself again and again, as inform informing about something.

[Welcome to the Donjon of Gloomhaven]

Looking at the message, Brian tried to torch the message bar, but his hand passed through, 'it could not be touched' he thought, he turned his gaze at the flying ball running around the cave, 'she must be the key to the leave this area, wait a minute, why those all this looks familiar, it looks like a story coming out of a lite novel?' Brian observe the ball of light while thinking.

{Welcome to you all, New residence of this world, my name is Tilly and I am here to answer any of your question, feel free to ask]

A message similar to previous one appeared in front of everybody, "this confirm an important detail, "she was the one who send us the previous ones and might be the one responsible for the disappearance of Cave exit" analyses Brian feeling uneasy.

"Where are we?" a man inquired, he was afraid, but still gathered his remaining courage to ask the light ball, the ball turn towards his direction and open her small and delicate mouth.

[welcome to the Donjon of Gloomheaven]

"we know about that, just fu*** tell us where we are!?" another man screamed out of hanger, for a slight moment, the small girl's expression twitched, but came back to normal, and nobody saw it.

[Sorry this information cannot be handed to you guys at this moment, your levels are weak, to get further information about this new world, you need to get stronger, fight higher existence and if you succeed in the task, certain information can be granted, but they are quest where you can acquire information without the help of us, the light Bulbs, who will accompany you all towards your unfaithful destination or should I saw end]

Everybody was quite for a moment at the sudden revelation, which did not last as someone blurted out, what bullshit is this all about" his head immediately burst into thousand shinning particles, this caused an uproar, people immediately created the space far away from the body as crystal particles settle on the headless body, a small light ball levitated around the death body.

[I would be happy if everybody remain quite from hence of, I would introduce to you all the means and only way to exceed Gloomheaven, but before we enter details, lets discuses on how you would strengthen yourselves] the girl flew up in the sky and smiled, she pointed and someone and asked him to move towards the body, the man was first frighten, but when the girl reminded him on what happen yo the headless man and if he did not hurry, he would die, this persuasion was enough to push the man to go towards the headless body.

[Place your hand on the body] she ordered with a cute voice, the man swallowed hard and obeyed without questioning, soon he fell a warm and exciting sensation entering his boy, he fell hot and energetic, what was this feeling, he asked himself, not only him, everybody around weakness the phenomenon and carried questions on their faces.

[like any other world, power is important, in your world eating was very important, that policy those not 100% apply to this world, even though food is necessary for you all to survive phase one] she put on a mischievous smile that gave people a cold feeling, [Strength in this world can be gain through killing and gaining artefacts] she posed and look around and smiled at the frighten and attentive people.

[During a successful kill of a human or monster, you can acquire his strength through, soul collector, you aren't really collecting his soul, but some of his talents, skills or powers it had, unfortunate, killing the same species repeatedly wouldn't get you anything, but only common strength to upgrade, killing your own kinds would not give you much except for the basic skills which are agility, strength, dexterity and endurance, killing higher monsters not only increase this skills at higher level but can upgrade them, and there is a possibility to get a skill or a weapon] she breathed, she waved her hand a toy table of small sizes and a chair appeared from tin air, she sat and a cup of tea appeared in her hand, from there, she proceeded in handing the last information of the day]

[Gloomheaven is an unexplored Donjon for the outside world, artefacts and skills hidden here are all at your disposals] she smiled, everybody knew what that that smiled mean, 'find them yourself' [Monsters vary in class and types, strong to weak, mischievous to better to avoid, hidden quest and zones can also be activated without forgetting traps] she stood up and the chair and table vaporized.

[At the end of the journey, and information about this world can be granted, but that only applies to the one who steps foot outside first, from here, from here, I wish you all a happy journey to next time we meet again] she vanished from her position and they cave when back to its darkness, which followed by people screaming and crying in terror, their despair was boosted by the dreary and darkness of the cave.

Brian in his area torched the walls leading forward into the cave, the only solution was to continuer, falling into despair would encourage death to come, when his hand torched the wall, a notification came out.

{QUEST TRIGGERED}
