章 21: Aciras
Stepping outside the mansion door, Glass could see a massive garden that consisted of a large fountain in the middle, large plants and bushes that created a maze and even a large greenhouse filled with various plants and vegetables.
Large trees were planted on both sides making the garden look symmetrical. Gardeners could be seen tending to each of the trees making them look exactly the same.
He followed the twins outside the mansion and walked pass the many gardeners tending their own business. Leaving the mansion surrounded by large stone walls, the three of them followed the road and walked into town.
The mansion was located at the very top of the town of Aciras on a small hill that leads down toward the town. The path downward being made of stone made it hard to get lost when heading up or down.
As they walked down the hill, Glass looked around, the pathway that leads down to town was surrounded by large luscious trees that seemed like a forest.
The sky appeared to be the same as he was used to making Glass wonder where he had ended up despite falling down from the Dungeon.
After walking down for twenty minutes, they finally arrived in the town of Aciras. It was truly a sight to behold. In front of him, every single building seemed luxurious but not on the same level as Ateus' mansion.
Every building looked similar to the other making seem kind of dull. However, this was sanctioned by the street lights of the town.
The street lights looked like they were made up of magic since they were just floating in the air. Around them, strange metal spun around the ball-shaped lights that were dim since it was morning.
Every house and building had at least one or two of them on them making it pretty much impossible for any darkness in the town.
The people were all of the same race being the same as the twins and their grandfather. Each of them had their own unique characteristics while their children seemed to resemble one or both of their parents one way or another.
Everyone dressed in similar clothing with the only difference being variances in color and slight changes in the patterns on their clothes. The townspeople all seemed to live in unison with one another and no conflict could be seen.
In the center of the town, is a large fountain that is the same size as the one at the twin' mansion with a statue of Ateus erected on top.
As the three of them entered town, the citizens greeted them cheerfully.
"Welcome back, Yheia - Sama, Omaos - Sama" they said. The twins greeted them back while they all looked at Glass who was of a different race to them.
"You see, most of the citizens have never been outside of Aciras making it the first time they have seen a human such as yourself" Yheia explained to him.
"It's alright, I can understand how they feel" Glass replied as he thought back to the day he had first seen the twins.
"Since most of them live inside the town, how do you all gather food and defend the town?" Glass asked her.
"We have soldiers that are stationed outside and a group of hunters who head outside and hunt. We also have those who enter the Dungeon and live as Adventurers" Omaos replied.
Yheia and Omaos showed Glass around the various shops in town such as the medicine store or weapon and armor stores as well as the restaurants. Standing in town, they pointed towards the Dungeon in which Glass turned to face the direction of their fingers.
Turning around, Glass saw a tall black tower that reached far into the sky as if it were penetrating the heavens where the Gods lived.
"That is the Dungeon of Aciras" Omaos told him.
"So that's it? It looks identical to the one in Orario where I come from except this one is black rather than white" Glass replied.
"Is that so? I wonder what the difference is, according to our records there are many Dungeons throughout the world, however, we have yet to see any of them besides this one" Omaos continued.
"That large building over there is the Guild, I suppose Orario has their own?" Omaos asked him.
"Yea, though I have to say, this city is very much different to Orario" Glass replied.
"I see, I hope to be able to go there one day" Omaos said.
"I'll show you around once I find a way to get back" Glass replied.
"Thanks, I'll look forward to it"
"Hehehehe" Yheia giggled.
"What's up? What do you find funny?" Glass asked her. "My brother isn't much of a talker, but ever since you came here, he has spoken more than he has for a few years" Yheia told him.
Hearing this, Glass faced Omaos who seemed embarrassed as he fake coughed a couple times. "Well, let's go somewhere else" Omaos said as he turned around and walked on his own.
"Tehee" Yheia giggled as she and Glass followed Omaos.
"Omaos - San, how does the Dungeon work? Do you guys have Levels?" Glass asked.
"Levels? What are they? Here in Aciras, Adventurers have a system of Ranks. The Ranks start from Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
"Each Rank is achieved by having enough merits and having the required Status. For example for a Red ranked, they need to have their average stats meeting forty points before they can become an Orange ranked Adventurer"
"In order to do so, each Adventurer receives three points they can put into their stats when they level up. Is this what you mean by Levels?" Omaos explained and asked.
"No, in Orario, we have a Level system where the Gods or Goddess' bless us with their Falna giving us their children power to fight in the Dungeon. To Level up and become stronger, an Adventurer must have at least one of their stats being D rank and achieving something great such as defeating a stronger monster than themself"
"Once the two conditions have been met, their God or Goddess can level them up by upgrading their status using their power. Once we level up, we become much stronger than we had been in the past" Glass explained.
"Interesting, it seems we have a difference in systems. So the Gods really do exist huh, they have descended down from Heaven and grant you Adventurer's of Orario their power? Interesting" Omaos replied.
Yheia behind them heard his explanation and had the same thoughts as her brother. "Let me finish explaining, by defeating Monsters in the Dungeon, we receive something called Experience Points and once there are enough we level up"
"For example, if we start from Level one, just killing one or two Monsters will let us advance to Level two. This number can increase infinitely I suppose, the strongest Adventurer in the history of Aciras was Level Two hundred and sixty five. He was the one who had created the Ranking system as well as the Guild long ago" Omaos continued his explanation.
"That's interesting, so each rank pretty much corresponds with the Levels in Orario, if that man was over Level two hundred, then he must be at least Level eight or nine in Orario! That's much stronger than the two current strongest Adventurer's in Orario who are Level seven!" Glass thought.
