Great warriors and Hero"s that are still stand as a supporting pillar for humanity against other races, have baptised their fighting experiences from these dungeons, it was a place where monsters and strong demons would be lurking everywhere.
In his previous life, the continent from which he was originated had been nearly devoid of any demons for him to kill, as they were wiped out by humans of their ancestors generation. Foreign lands, the place where he had once established dominance had the final traces of those monsters, later wiped out by him.

There were few theories suggested by historians, but the most trusted is the "Banishment theory."
It states that the demons who had nearly dominated the entire main continent. A common enemy for the race, that can still be considered a threat to them to unify under a single banner was not present, their unity was starting to deplete and had nearly diminished over course of years, when compared to what they used to have previously, each key influential figures (the demon G.o.d"s) that had thousands of emperor cla.s.ses under them had started to have their own agendas after their conquest on that continent was completed, leaving only a single dominant race ( demons race ) which had enslaved the other weaker races after they had sweared their alligance towards them.
Ma.s.sive wars were made to dominate other leaders and become the sole ruler of the main land, Greed for power, l.u.s.t for women and fights for land these were the three major taboos that can lead to the downfall of any great civilization, this was an iron clad rule which had never proved to be wrong. The demons were also not an exception to this rule. Plundering of food, robbery of the enemy supplies were quite common those times, resort to violence or murder the individuals that had resisted against their command. Selling off the members of defeated tribe after enslaving them as slaves to handle heavy labour to males and the women"s were used as pleasure tools, for the warriors of the victorious tribes, chaos were started to spread across their lands which was drenched by the blood of their own race people, the united tribes under the leaders which had once dominated the lands were no more, seeds of hatred started to sprout in their heart against the other tribes of the race.
This Civil was had led to drastic decline in their c.u.mulative strength, which was nearly impossible to regain within a short interval of time, and since they cannot coexist together as they used to live before, as a result of Great civil war, they made a treaty to form peace among themselves, this had stopped the never ending tragic war from continuing.
The war had lasted for thousands of years and hatred for other races were still present deep within their bones, and ironically their strength had diminished to a level where the other minor races could put up a fight against them, tough the major war has been stopped, minor conflicts were still going on, they did not wish for annihilation of their remaining populace, they utilized a forbidden grand array by utilizing their lifespan as the price for it and had successfully divided the single main continent into several smaller fragments which were considered the size of islands scattered into the vast and boundless ocean, the leaders were effected from the blackslash and had to undergo seclusion, the day they have been awakened would be judgement day for other races, the retainers of the leaders formed their own domains and were forbidden to interfere in each others business regardless the cause, the traitors of the tribes during that chaotic period were imprisoned in the cells and transferred to the dungeon that was spreader across the entire lands randomly, that are hot-spot for adventurers.
The traitors tough were imprisoned were not abandoned completely, they had to undergo a trail set by their leaders before he had went to the seclusion, it was to wipe off their crimes they had done before, killing off a million intruders of the other races that had stepped into their new homes, the dungeon, and submitting their souls to the dungeon core, which would later be transported back to their tribe as a ransom to set them free, since killing a million intruders was very hard and time consuming process, they had to make the intruders move voluntarily inwards the dungeons and they were forbidden to step out, so they need to find a way to attract them. they took the ma.s.sive wealth and resources from their own pockets into the dungeons to attract the ambitious person"s, along with their slaves ( the monsters ) for those that seeks the thrill of adventure.
Tough this had led the demons gain strength over other races in unifying their fragmented continent, as the other race would fight against each other or with the members of the foreign races to obtain recourses within the dungeon for themselves or for their personal use, the races which were previously weaker than the demons by several times had obtained the strength to stand against them on equal grounds after fragmentation, but had declined to have a lesser hand once again after dungeon were established by the demons.
Every thing went well for those demons as they had planned accordingly, but the appearance of Soveraiz made a huge blow to their plan as he had unified the entire ma.s.ses of adventures under a single guild ( The Adventures guild ) and exploited the demons using their own tricks against them.
The dungeons which was once a place of slaughter and hatred had became a cash tree for humanity and other races, the product"s obtained in the dungeon can be useful to make alchemical products and magical artifacts and several other products, the business started to flourish around those regions, merchants and traders migrated near the dungeons who were profited from it, which lead to the increase in the people that aspired to be adventures as they had found a new way to obtain money which can fill the stomach of their families, people were attracted to this way of earning money and the death toll had started to increase significantly, had this played any role in the fight against demons? No! So Soveraiz had made a new rule and divided the people into different ranks based on their powers and wits, and made entrance exams that an individual had to complete before becoming an adventurer, the adventurers so pa.s.sed the exams were given Rank F and depending on their performance the were promoted till Rank-A, with Rank-F as low rank and moving towards Rank-A as higher rank. As exemptions were present in each case the ranks were no exception to it, an abnormal that could not be kept as an average Rank-A adventure, those that can cross kill any monsters higher than the people at his level would be designated with a t.i.tle of special t.i.tle of Rank-S adventurer, Soveraiz was the first person to be designated with Rank-S t.i.tle, followed by other capable figures.
As commoners were attracted towards the dungeon which could make them filthy rich and powerful beyond their imaginations, if they managed to survive till the end, the n.o.bel"s were also no exception to this case, they were the most ambitious of all and would like to monopolize the dungeons for their personal use, be it strengthening themselves or to use it to rebel against the country to become the next ruler.
As the humans were weakened after great emperor Norsus had died, they were vulnerable against demons and the other races were also suppressed by demons, this act of n.o.bles would once again throw the ma.s.ses into chaos and Soveraiz would never let that happen, so he wanted to strengthen and stabilize the individual kingdoms and empires of each race, so he made a new rule that he had successfully implemented after he debated against the other races for a long time.
" The n.o.bles of upper echelons would manage the dungeon rights, but had to pay one fourth their profits and taxes they obtain to both the kingdom they are serving and also to the adventures guild that provide protection for them.
The adventurer that had reached a certain ranks such as D, C can become a free n.o.bel mostly of lower ranks, such as a Baron, viscount and Count. Rank B and A ranks could become high n.o.bel"s to manage the dungeon entering rights and profits and resources that they obtain from it, they would usually be coronated to Earl and Marquis or as a master of guild"s branch . "
Mark"s father had reached Rank-D before he was coronated a free n.o.bel with Baronate at a normal village, where marks life had started. The city owner of Maxim city after reaching Rank-B was coronated as an Earl that had thus managed the dungeon in Maxim city.
Mark was excited as he was going to enter the dungeon that he had read in stories, the ones he was unable to enter in his previous life, he also wants to raise his level as fast as it was possible. Dead man"s blade at level 40, his mount when he reached level 50 would be unlocked, both can become his trump card in the decisive battle against the demon tribe to rescue Elisira Theion, his main line quest.
