What Am I Doing?

We found ourselves in front of an opening to a den, the size of a monolith, a passageway wide enough for us to go in unhindered, with its inside being dimly lit up with torches hanging on either side of the wall.

"Everyone ready?", the girl asked, with which we checked our equipment then began moving into the den with caution, in an agreed formation.

As we entered, I began to feel strange somehow, different from when I got reincarnated.

I felt wobbly like I would collapse at a time, then it felt like I was expanding then it abruptly stopped.

"Oi! you coming?" asked the dual swordsman

I had stopped moving when I started feeling strange.

"Sorry about that," I said as I caught up to them.

Two tanks at the forefront with their shields at the ready for incoming monsters, the mage, and archer in the middle, as their attacks were ranged ones, with me and the dual swordsman at the right and left flanks respectively.

We came across the first group of patrolling goblins, they were three in number, two holding a rusted sword and one with an axe, with a loincloth hanging on the lower part of their bodies.

RAA!

They attacked immediately they noticed us with crazed expressions while emitting foul killing intent.

I stood frozen in place, fear of death crept up into my mind, while the others had begun to dish out damage to the goblins, working in sync.

I began to question myself on what I was doing here.

I don't have any fighting experience! skills, or any of that stuff!.

Then, why I did I throw myself at these monsters? have I gone mad? did I think this was a game?

Shit!!!

"I've got to get out here, I can't die here!!". I immediately start turning towards the exit with the intention of running off.

Alas, it wasn't fated to be so.

RAA!!

I couldn't even react before a jagged blade embedded itself into my flesh, pinning me to the ground.

A goblin had broken through our ranks and had reached my position, it seemed that the noise had gave away our position.

Although he was killed by the dual swordsman immediately after, the damage had been done.

Is this how I was going to die?

Is this where my new life ends?

Raiding a dungeon on a whim? who does that?

I couldn't help but find myself pathetic at my current predicament, maybe I'll get a third chance.

I turned my eyes to look at the remaining team members.

I saw them taking glances at me on the floor with expressions of confusion briefly before they turned to continue facing the goblins.

The formation had fallen, more and more goblins were joining the fray, the situation had become hopeless with no chance of escape, they began to fall.

The mage being the first to be struck down, but something happened that I had forgotten about completely, he disappeared.

That's right!, hunters don't die in dungeons, only gates.

Once I realized this, an expression of hope forming on my face, but, it became one of utmost despair right after.

Why haven't I already been teleported outside, it should have happened by now, and I wasn't feeling any pain whatsoever.

Something was terribly wrong;

what's worse? the fluid that came out my body was dark purple and it was causing the ground to disintegrate rapidly.

RAA!

A goblin scream pulled out my reverie, I couldn't afford to die, and if I did, I would die fighting.

I pulled my body slowly back to its feet, the goblin closed in immediately slashing down with his blade, trying to end my life.

I launched my fist in response to the goblins blade slash with a loud shout;

DAMN YOU ALL!!

Everything is suddenly moved in slow motion from my view, my body and blood rumbling rapidly, only for it to spike up and then...

BOOOOM!!!

~POV SHIFT~

Shit!!

What the F.U.C.K!!!

I'm the head of the soldier guarding one very uneventful dungeon, until today that is.

It's your normal Saturday with everything going smoothly, six hunters that had made reservations for the dungeon had arrived on time, with the last member being a bit late.

They all head into the dungeon, just forty minutes after, a mage had died and had been teleported out.

Typical, hot heads thinking they're the next Andrew Stein.

Less than ten minutes after, something else happens, something that had never happened before;

BOOOOM!!!

An explosion was heard, and it was coming from the dungeon!!!

We had thought that an outbreak was about to occur, maybe the dungeon boss had begun to move, but what happened after that, only caused more confusion.

The teleportation icon in front of the dungeon began to glitch, not long after, it just vanished, the entire cave disappeared, whatever you want to call it, it just wasn't there anymore...."

My subordinates and I looked at each other for a moment, all of us thinking the same thing;

Dungeons can be destroyed.

Only gates had ever been destroyed, and even then, it was after it being cleared that the portal closes up on it's own, so we don't really destroy them, only clear them of monsters.

--------

This ordeal sparking a chain reaction of events yet to come.

Events that'll will span across the cosmos, and the question bugging us all.

What shall be zephyr's role in it?
