Only a few minutes had passed since when Leon landed in the swamp when he noticed something strange.
"Hmm, that's strange..." He muttered to himself as he took note of the sense of oppression that seemed to weigh upon his soul. He had noticed it earlier, but had not taken note of it like he did now.
He did not actually want to land at this point in the swamp, and had tried to fly closer to the tree in the center of the swamp, but a subtle influence had come over his mind, making him want to land farther from the tree.
"I should have done more research..." Leon muttered to himself. He knew little about the swamp except for its name, some of the monsters that appeared here, and that the Despair Dungeon was an A ranked dungeon.
The rank of a dungeon was determined by the difficulty of clearing it, and the rank of the boss monster.
