"Wow… look at this sword that dropped! It's incredible, simply incredible!" thought Twig.
"Wait a second… I remember this sword. Isn't it an exclusive weapon for novices and super novices, System?"
[Ding!]
Host, that's correct. In the original game Ragnarok Online, this sword could only be equipped by the Novice and Super Novice classes. However, in the real world, it's just a sword. If you can hold the handle, you can wield it. There are no restrictions here — anyone can use it.
"Wow, that's true… So that means, if I find an item that used to be exclusive to another class, and it suits a swordsman, I can give it a try. It might have some interesting results."
[Ding!]
Host, that's a valid idea, but be careful. Using a magician's staff, for example, won't be very useful when you need to swing a sword — especially since your passive skills and aptitudes are focused on swords, not staves.
Hearing the System's comment, Twig just ignored it. Of course he wouldn't equip a mage's staff or scepter to hit enemies. What he meant was that sword-type weapons exclusive to other classes could be equipped — and that was quite useful for someone specialized in sword combat.
When Aron and Jenny approached, Twig raised the newly acquired sword, and both of them stared in admiration.
"Wow! What a beautiful blade! It's so bright! What kind of sword is that?" exclaimed Aron, his eyes shining.
Twig explained that he had looted it from the wolf boss — its name was Star Dust Blade.
Jenny nodded. "It really is beautiful. Are you going to keep it, Twig?"
Twig looked at his friends and replied, "You don't mind, do you? For now, I'll use it. But if you want, we can play a little game to decide who gets it."
Aron took another look at the sword and said, "Nah… I'll pass. I'll give up my chance. It's a one-handed sword — really pretty, but I think it's too small. When we find a big sword… that's the one I'll want to use."
Jenny examined the sword again and said, "No, I'm not interested either. You can keep it. It must be powerful. Since you're always in front during battles — especially against bosses — it's better for you to be well equipped."
"Perfect then," said Twig. "I'll make good use of it! So… we've beaten this boss, and there's still time to try another dungeon. What do you say? Shall we keep fighting today?"
"Yes!" the siblings answered in unison.
It didn't take long for them to find the Kafra employee at the coliseum's entrance. After speaking with her, they were teleported to a new dungeon — the highest-level one currently available.
Aliane responded to Twig's teleport request and confirmed the transfer.

LVL 35~40 – Tomb of the Ancients
"Here rests not in peace the ancients."
Cost: 2,000 Zeny
Teleport Accepted
The group reappeared in what looked like a dark cave. However, the walls, ceiling, and floor weren't natural formations — they were all man-made.
Aron and Jenny looked around, curious.
"What is this place? Is this a cave?"
"No," replied Twig. "It looks more like a tomb. Look at the walls, the ceiling, the floor — they're all carved stone. Definitely built by human hands."
Standing near the entrance, Aliane nodded.
"Indeed, this is a tomb. In ancient times, some people built enormous monuments to bury great kings or important figures."
Aron and Jenny exchanged glances.
"So this is… a grave."
Twig scratched his head.
"You could say that. But it's huge — more like a crypt… or rather, a castle-sized grave."
Jenny frowned.
"Wow… what a waste of stone and effort just to bury one person."
"Well, think about it," said Twig. "If this place belonged to someone powerful and rich, there's probably treasure hidden here — gold coins, artifacts, rare relics… What do you two think?"
The siblings' eyes widened.
"Yeah!" they said together. "If this person was so powerful and important, they were probably buried with their riches!"
Jenny's excitement grew.
"Then let's look for the hidden treasure! If we find golden jewelry… can I keep a pair of earrings? Or maybe a necklace?"
Twig just laughed, and Aron didn't seem to disagree with her enthusiasm. Looking at Aliane by the entrance, Twig decided to check what items were available for purchase — perhaps it was time to upgrade their equipment.
"Aliane, could you show me the shop list, please?" asked Twig.
"Of course, young master," she replied, opening the store menu.

"Wow, there's a lot here… It's been a while since I checked the store."
"Well," he thought, "some new weapons would be great. My friends deserve better gear — after all, I already have a great sword from that boss."
"Let's see… I think I'll buy two Scimitars, since the stronger weapons are ridiculously expensive. And maybe a few of these new potions… Yeah, that should do."
"I don't have enough Zeny to buy everything I want anyway."
After purchasing the new equipment and sharing it with his friends, the group ventured deeper into the dungeon.
Along the way, they encountered new monsters — like Marduk, a shamanic creature cloaked in shadow, wearing a mask and long adorned robes that covered its entire body. A disturbing monster that attacked from a distance, casting spells and shadow bolts — though nothing a few well-aimed sword swings couldn't handle.
The tomb was also filled with Mummies — undead creatures wandering the corridors. They were strong and incredibly resilient, far tougher than any zombie or undead they had faced before.
In some corners, they found another monster — Verit, a mummy-like undead dog. It was faster than the others, though weaker and easier to defeat.
The young adventurers explored every part of the tomb — or at least as much as they could.
They didn't find any treasure, and exhaustion started to take over. Time was short, especially after having already fought the Wolf Boss earlier that day.
They hadn't cleared the entire dungeon, but agreed to return the next day — determined to explore every corner and uncover whatever secrets the tomb still held.
