Thomas Yates woke up on his 15th birthday and said, “Today is going to be a great day.”

His sister heard that and said, “You plan on entering the dungeon, right?”

Thomas answered, “Yes. I’ll be back shortly.”

She said, “Be careful. We can’t lose you too.”

Thomas smiled and said, “I will not die.”

They heard that and Thomas hugged them both and kissed there foreheads and said, “I’ll be back. See you soon.”

Thomas walked out of the house and then his former co-worker at Vulcan’s Workshop, John Rouse said, “Tombo, what are you up to?”

Thomas answered, “I’m probably going to get myself killed.”

John laughed and asked, “Do you plan on entering the dungeon?”

Thomas answered, “Yes I do.”

John said, “You really are going to need luck in there to survive.”

Thomas said, “Nah, you need skill and combine that with luck and then you’ll survive. That’s how shit is done.”

John said, “I know.”

He appeared in front of him and they did there handshake and then Thomas said, “Peace.”

John said, “Good luck boy. You aren’t going to last 5 minutes in there.”

Thomas said, “I’ll last.”

Everyone looked at them argue and John asked, “What makes you say that?”

Thomas answered, “If I don’t, then my two sister’s die of hunger. So I’ll last.”

John smiled and then Thomas looked at him and John said, “In that case, get going.”

Thomas heard that and John said, “If you die, I get your house.”

Thomas laughed and said, “You aren’t getting a damn thing.”

Thomas walked away and everyone saw that and John said, “You don’t know how I do business.”

Thomas didn’t look back and then John smiled and asked, “What to do now?”

Thomas entered the dungeon and appeared in Floor 1-A and started walking forward and then said, “This place is so big.”

He walked forward and then he heard the ground crackle and then turned around and saw 3 Goblins and said, “Goblins, huh. They carry an axe. Very dangerous weapon. Which is more dangerous than a knife. This should be good.”

The Goblins ran toward him and swung at him, but Thomas jumped back and then went to swing at the Goblins, but they blocked the attack and then Thomas moved back when they swung at him and Thomas jumped up and then brought the knife down and stabbed a Goblin in the head and it vanished and Thomas said, “One down, two to go. Earning money in a dungeon is harder than all of the other work that I did. So this is never going to get boring.”

A Goblin jumped up and swung at him, but Thomas blocked it with his knife and then pushed him into the wall and the Goblin disappeared and then the last Goblin swung at his lower body, but Thomas brought his knife down to block it and said, “Interesting. Goblins are smart to attack when there’s an opening. I shouldn’t create openings like that.”

Thomas smiled and then then Goblin took the axe back and then brought it behind him and Thomas stabbed it and said, “You should never create an opening for your opponent. You’ll die with ease.”

A Goddess looked at the Dungeon and saw that there was an interesting man in Floor 1-A and asked, “Who is that boy with a knife?”

Her right-hand man answered, “Thomas Yates. For the last 5 years, he’s been helping out companies succeed in life. Now he just turned 15 and is now entering the Dungeon.”

She heard that and looked at him and then 5 Frogs appeared in front of him and Thomas looked at them and then one’s tongue tried to grab him, but Thomas cut it before it grabbed him and then another Frog jumped up and Thomas saw that and stabbed it and the Frog disappeared and Thomas saw the tongue and then turned and stabbed it and then Thomas ran forward and cut the Frog in half and then it disappeared and a Frogs tongue grabbed him and Thomas smiled and then as soon as he got close to the Frog, Thomas stabbed the eye of the Frog and then it disappeared and Thomas hopped back up and said, “OK. 3 Frogs down, 2 more to go.”

They were on both sides and they both jumped up and Thomas ducked and they collided into each other and then Thomas cut their bellies and they disappeared and Thomas looked at the ground and picked up the Shards and then said, “Let’s see. What to do now? Keep going or go back. It’s been 10 minutes already. You should have faith in me John. I may be 15, but I’m not weak.”

He walked forward and then a cry from something unknown to anyone on the 1st Floor to 35th Floor. Thomas heard that and then the Goddess asked, “What is a Demonic Ostrich doing on the 1st Floor. So close to the exit, too.”

Thomas looked ahead and then saw 5 people fighting an ostrich and sighed and then walked forward and the Demonic Ostrich saw Thomas and flew passed them and the Goddess saw that and said, “Interesting.”

Thomas screeched and then as soon as the Demonic Ostrich got close to him, Thomas ducked and then the Demonic Ostrich saw that and then ran into his body and Thomas lifted him up and then turned around to stab it in the chest, but its wing blocked the attack and Thomas saw that and then jumped back and the Demonic Ostrich jumped up and then swung it’s claws at him and Thomas moved his upper body backwards and then lifted his foot up and the Demonic Ostrich moved back and Thomas said, “Interesting.”

Everyone looked at Thomas and asked, “What are you doing boy? You don’t belong in a Dungeon. You aren’t old enough to take out a monster.”

Thomas heard that and then said, “It doesn’t matter what you 5 think. What matters right now is this Demonic Ostrich? And we must make sure that it doesn’t get up to the surface.”

They heard that and said, “You really think that we can defeat that thing.”

Thomas said, “Well, if we can’t, we fought trying to protect the people on the surface. That’s all. I’m not afraid to die.”

The Goddess heard that and the man said, “He’s lost both his parents and has been taking care of his two younger sisters. He’s just making this shit up to get them to help.”

They said, “You are afraid to die. You have two sisters to take care of.”

Thomas said, “And? I have two sisters to raise into great human beings. That definitely don’t turn into me.”

They heard that and then the Demonic Ostrich swung at Thomas, but Thomas blocked his wing with his knife and then Thomas flew into the wall and then the Demonic Ostrich appeared and started to attack him, but Thomas blocked everything with his knife and then they saw that and charged toward the Demonic Ostrich and then the Demonic Ostrich turned its head toward them and then let go of Thomas and then Thomas saw that and then Thomas swung at the Demonic Ostrich and said, “Interesting.”

The Demonic Ostrich blocked it with its wing and then Thomas saw that and then a Dragon appeared and roared and Thomas saw that and then the humans turned around and screeched and then Demonic Ostrich stepped back and swung at Thomas and then Thomas jumped to the side and tossed the knife into the Demonic Ostrich’s stomach and the Demonic Ostrich growled and then Thomas screeched and said, “Damn, this is going to hurt me.”

The humans heard that and the Dragon flew toward them and then Thomas appeared in front of the Demonic Ostrich and it tried to cut him up, but Thomas moved his body so that wouldn’t happen and then Thomas grabbed his knife and then the Demonic Ostrich saw that and then Thomas started to bring it down and then the Demonic Ostrich chopped his arm off and then Thomas felt that and screamed and then Thomas brought his other arm up and grabbed the knife and then ran it into the wall and grunted and then the knife came out and the Demonic Ostrich disappeared and then the 5 men saw that and then said, “We have a Dragon to deal with.”

Thomas heard that and lifted the knife up and grinned and then fire appeared where his wound was and then the blood stopped and Thomas looked at it and said, “The blood stopped. How the hell is that possible.”

They answered, “Fire.”
