Chapter 3 - First dungeon

"As I am king, I have other priorities to look after. So my replacement for you shall be Lord Kris, the first commanding soldier of the human race."

"Hi I'm Kris. No need for the Lord part please. It wouldn't be fitting for the almighty otherworlders and the hero himself. Anyways, you should have all of your equipment with you, mages have a spell staff, any attacking types have a sword and medics have their healing staff. Follow me."

Everyone looked so excited. With the exception of Daki of course. He got a dagger. Not enchanted, not even sharp. It's actually rusty.

The party walked into the dungeon that was 20 minutes away the city on the top of a hill.

"I hope everyone is feeling excited were about to enter the first floor of the dungeon. After we enter, I'll have to assess all of your skills. So I won't instruct you anymore. The hero shall."

"Right come on, I promise not a single person shall get harmed and we'll be in floor 10 by no time."

The doors open. And everyone starts rushing in.

'Everyone's so unorganised. Ha to think that these brats were worth my time. No wonder the king didn't want to be here. I mean who would want to. The only impressive person here is the hero. Wait what's that? A person avoiding the fight. Little shi-'

'What's the point of fighting if I have no actual good attributes. Like what the hell is awareness. That's not even a skill it's common sense. Let me try it. Wait what. It says there's danger incoming from behind the floor 3 skeletons.'

"Akira, behind you"

A massive skeleton tries to swing at Akira but he dodges in the nick of time.

'Hmm so that little pest isn't horrible like the others.'

"Hero slash." Akira uses his skill to swipe the skeletons head off. "Thanks Daki. Couldn't have done it without you."

"Yeah no worries. At least your safe."

'How come the first commanding officer didn't tell us in advance. '

"OK that's enough of the dungeon for today. I have to tend to some other matters. So we're going back."

They return to their royal rooms. And Lord Kris enters the King's room.

"Your majesty. Seems the hero wasn't the only good warrior you selected. There's this boy. His name is Dako or whatever. But the main thing is he could detect the level 10 skeleton boss. And warned the hero who elegantly slayed it. What I'm trying to say is have him as a scout, he could be useful to the kingdom."

"Hmm. Interesting. If I can recall, he did look promising. But remember if he ever know the secret finish him. Make sure no one discovers the truth about the meeting or the document. Got that Kris."

"Yes your majesty. I promise if he ever finds out, I'll make it seem like an accident."
