Back to walking.

With that night behind you, the party awakens to a brand new day. You pack up your staff and head out once again. This will hopefully be the final day of walking from dawn till dusk. Already your feet are dying. But, you push onwards in pursuit of money, experience, and perhaps to find your true calling as something more than just a regular guy trying to make ends meet.

As you walk, you turn to Eva and try to get her attention.

She wraps her arms around her chest. "Stop thinking about last night..."

"I didn't even say anything! I was going to ask you a question."

"Oh. All right. What is it?"

"I guess this is a question for everyone. You just seem to read a lot more books. I was wondering if there's any like, devastating thread on the world. A demon king trying to take over the world with an army of monsters, or some ancient evil spirit slowly corrupting the land. I don't know. Something like that."

"What a strange question," she replies. "There's always stuff like that. There have been more than one demon king threatening the world... Nothing specific though. There's even that vampire, you know? Lots of stuff."

"There's multiple demon kings?"

"Sometimes they're actual demons, and other times, it's just a title given to some powerful person wreaking havoc."

I guess I probably won't run into a blade that can pierce the flesh of the Demon King in this dungeon then. Maybe I don't have a specific purpose here. It could have been a complete accident. If that's the case, maybe I'm doomed to be just a regular dude here... No. I can't give up that easily. I could still be a totally badass adventurer, like Nyllia. I just have to start a bit smaller than facing the Vampire Queen. Maybe this will be a dungeon of nothing but blue slimes?
