ㅤ Somewhere..... on the fifth floor..... Falin lies alone in a damp room. “Nii-san...” she murmurs weakly. She curls up against the cold that surrounds her. Her breath is slow, almost weak. She isn't fully aware of her body, which is beginning to change. ㅤ

ㅤ Suddenly, a light pierced through the walls and pulled them out of the room. They were saved by the Ghosts, the deceased civilians of the old castle. ㅤ

ㅤ "Yeah..." Senshi agreed. They tried to hold back the walls by pushing against them, but nothing is happening. "What should we do?! I don't want to die!!!" Marcille screamed. Her staff already bended by the narrowing room, soon to be broken. ㅤ

ㅤ Everyone woke up, unaware that they were in a mysterious room. There was nothing there, just an empty space. "Are you all okay?" Laios asked. "I'm fine, and so is everyone else. But... is it just me, or does this room feel like it's closing in...?" Chilchuck answered. ㅤ

ㅤ With a wave of their hand, the Mad Magician cast a spell that sent the party members to a torture chamber. ㅤ

ㅤ Just as the Mad Magician was about to attack Laios, Marcille shouted, “Laios! Run!” She attacked the Mad Magician to protect Laios. “You’re all disgusting thieves!” the Mad Magician snarled. ㅤ

ㅤ It continued, “Everything inside this Dungeon belongs to King Delgal!” Laios froze, but his guts telling him something. ‘This is the Mad Magician who created this Dungeon!’ Yeah, that’s right. ㅤ

ㅤ Laios' Party encountered her inside the remains of the Dragon. Laios rushed to her, finding her unconscious. Suddenly, someone appeared behind him. This person somehow had this crazy aura. “So, you're the thief.... the thief who is stealing from His Majesty.” ㅤ

ㅤ “Nope. No one’s come in or out.” Senshi answered. Laios, investigating. “She must have escaped through the window... but where to?” The party members hurried out to find Falin. They eventually led to where the Dragon was defeated. ㅤ

ㅤ Marcille woke up in the middle of her sleep. She noticed Falin was missing, who was supposed to be sleeping beside her. She immediately searching for her presence. “Laios! Chilchuck! Wake up!” She said loudly. “Senshi, do you see Falin leaving?” ㅤ

ㅤ Marcille's also eating because she released a lot of mana earlier. Her body still feels weak, but the euphoria to see Falin again is no joke. The celebration to commemorate this victory lasted until late at night. ㅤ

ㅤ "Falin, you need to eat a lot to restore your body," Laios said while handing her a plate. Falin smiled and thank her brother for caring about her. Laios petted her head while smiling brightly, showing how happy he is. ㅤ

ㅤ "Eat this, y'all!" Laios shouted as they celebrated their victory. Senshi was enjoying his experimentㅡcooking dragon tail soup, onion pizza, and roast Red Dragon flesh. The party enjoyed the food even more now that they had won the quest. ㅤ

ㅤ They finally had their long-awaited reunion. ㅤ

ㅤ A body, still red—like a baby freshly born—lay there. Laios approached it, seeing his little sister lying before him. He immediately reached her, wishing to hug her again. Finally, Falin woke up and threw the blood blocking her airways. “Falin…” “Brother…” ㅤ
