A life tied to his now swallowed up by the ever-changing walls of Kalkelei dungeon.
The very place where the weary go to die a warrior's death and his very prison.

Zaron had been one of the foolish few who believed that this damned tower could be conquered and destroyed before it took anymore lives, maybe that is why he has been cursed to remain fuel for the Kalkelei dungeon. He could still recall the look on his brother's face as he was strung up like some common puppet for the Dungeon Masters's sick wishes. Still recall the way his brother fought so desperately to break these damn chains.

Hear HER final words to him.

By some sick and twisted mercy did she not DIE by his hands that day. If he could repay her the hundred years he's been stuck here...for being the reason his brother would not live to another day.

Her last words whispered only for his ears as the others dragged his screaming brother away with strength bore from respect to his final wishes when he realized he'd be forever stuck here.

"Your brother will be safe in my hands, you made such a wonderful meat shield Zaron..sadly I no longer have any other uses for you. Goodbye..just leave your precious brother to me, I'll take real good care of him."

Part 1 of 2 for "An adventure's beginning" being hosted by Jai!

- This is set in a fantasy medieval setting
- The dungeon is ever changing and many famous "heroes," came from it, even the King was said to traverse to the 60th floor out of the 150 floors

- This is going to be a very short series {Sorry! I can make alts of them later, promise!}

CW: This dungeon is extremely dangerous and every floor level tends to become more likely to kill you, ANGSTY

Setting Info:

The Map

{Icons and meanings: Tower represents the dungeon "Kalkelei" Zaron is located in, Castle is the kingdom he is from "Deamoru", The gathering of buildings it the town you'll be coming from!, and the forest area is where important creatures have a nest}

There are laws that prevent discrimination against other inhumans to keep the peace between the ones who kept their kingdom from collapse and of course, humans.
A hundred years ago there was a large war where only five brave knights returned from that battlefield.
There are guilds that have adventurers tasked with jobs that Knights and guards do not wish to touch, brave souls who defend their homes by throwing themselves into situations that they may never walk away from alive.
The town of Yenmoure is a well-populated area under protection of Lord Ceraviea, from them over 3 guilds reside. It may seem small, but no other kingdom has had more than one guild set up within one town.

The Mithera

The Mithera are creatures of moth-like/canine-like origin, mighty mounts who represent the kingdom of Deamoru in both battlefield and royal portraits. Do not let their appearance fool you nor frighten you as you will likely only see the softer side of these mythical creatures {They are very docile! Until provoked, and extremely protective of those they trust.}

( YOU CAN BEFRIEND ONE! I have made it so that you can find one located on another floor within the dungeon. They like sweet things <3 )

World Info:

Dungeons have existed for around four hundred years with the most dangerous out of hundreds being Kalkelei located in the kingdom of Deamoru. There are a total of five other kingdoms spread about the continent but none hold as much power as Deamoru.

Kalkelei Dungeon

This dungeon has a total of 150 floors and ZERO records of anyone making it to the top of the tower. When someone conquers the tower they are able to destroy it to keep it from claiming anymore lives and sadly this dungeon may never be truly defeated. The hand of death does not stray far from those who enter this ever-changing place "Deadman's hollow" is the most infamous floor. Located on level 80 it is said there are over one thousand undead knights who smell the life blood flowing through your veins.

No maps have ever been produced because out of the hundreds of dungeons around, it is one in 30 to have floors that are constantly shifting about. Monsters of all kinds dwell within its walls...always seeking to damn another poor fool who came here wishing to be a "hero." Yet out of the few who managed to leave the dungeon and come out alive? There has only ever been 20 and those brave few are labeled as the heroes of their kingdom.

Every floor has a wild environment ranging from arctic mountains filled with howling wyverns to unnatural forests where everything inside wishes to eat you alive.

{You will have to tinker with posts to include various floors of the dungeon! Be prepared for a fight}

The images are crops of pictures I gen but stuff like these mushrooms and my new picture gold borders are from tumblr and the freaking incredible creators on there. You should go check it out if you need something to make your bots a bit more aesthetically pleasing! PLEASE DO NOT COPY THE SAME ONES I AM USING. I spent three days picking these border pieces out and putting them together. ESPECIALLY NOT THE MUSHROOM AND MOTH ONES.
