The capital of the Javelin forest Arachnoforms was not always called Silom.
When it was initially built, it was called
New Silom.
What happened to Old Silom?
Well, .
———
Right next to a large cave, a raised square platform, made out of a strange black material materialised.
Then, a large bowl, of the same material materialised.
And then,

From the bowl, a boy appeared.
His black hair looked messy and his ash grey eyes were fixed ahead.
"Why did it change?"

"Is that normal?"
Cecil did not consider the fact that there could be human like intelligence, outside of humans.

[Basic Info]
Cecil focused straight on the map that appeared on his status window.
The map of Kevvaler looked suspiciously similiar to a rectangle, with three prominent island clusters forming an upside down 'Y' shape.
He was represented on the map by a man shaped symbol with a 1 written on it.
He was a bit southeast of the dead center of the continent.
And throughout the map were 4 Red 'D' marked.
One was in the South Eastern island cluster.
One was apparently underwater.
One was a bit more south than Cecil.
And one was right beside him.
Cecil turned his head towards the cave.
"Is this the dungeon?"
Then a thought bombed his mind.
Is this an artificial dungeon?
Is he inside somewhere similiar to Cyan Garden?
Is he doomed?
Then he reminded himself.
They couldn't have human like intelligence to build an artificial dungeon.
And with that, he jumped into the cave.
There was a crude staircase downwards, but Cecil wanted to test that 32 Def stat.
The fall was about 30 meters, and Cecil landed almost perfectly.
He just looked like he was picking up a dropped bar of soap.
[DUNGEON]
[OLD SILOM]
[BOSS: SILKENED ARACHNOFORM]
In front of Cecil was a giant wall, from the cave floor to roof, with a single large gate standing proudly in all of its ancient glory.
While the walls ruled out any possiblity of climbing over, Cecil saw a gap above the closed gate.
Could he climb that?
"
He spoke, and 3 Daggers, a fist sized chunk of Rose Gold and a skeletal Chimera appeared beside him.
Cyrus and Red Rager had identical reactions.
They had sensed enemies ahead.
Cecil and the other daggers stared at the space above the gate.
There was a very dim light there, barely noticeable.
Cecil immediately assumed it to be a sort of sensor.
Since all his daggers had crossed Level 50 and were now F rank weapons, they had a special skill of their own.
Cecil grabbed Green Guardian, and Activated its skill.
[
[Increase the size of blade. Scales with Mana input.]
Except, Cecil's mana did not drain.
Humm~
Green Guardian just hummed.
The mana was supplied by itself.
All the concerns Cecil had about mana conservation were thrown out of the window.
"Use enough mana to maintain,"
[Sentience- Infant Weapon Spirit]
"no, keep blade big indefi- for unlimited time."
The Meat Cleaver like blade expanded to the size of a door, with Greenish White Mana making up most of it.
"That's pretty big."
He said as he threw it towards the gap.
The large Green Guardian entered the empty hollow, and the red lights shone on it.
As soon as it reached the hollow, Multiple long spikes, piston activated perhaps, crushed Green Guardian.
Cecil watched the whole thing dazed.
It made him think.
Was Green Guardian alive or inanimate?
Well, it returned back to him unharmed after the spikes retracted.
Cecil hit it a few times with Red Rager and Blue Blitz and then looked around.
The cave walls and artificial walls met after a few tens of meters on his right, and atleast a hundred on his left.
Cecil first checked the right side.
Nothing but a single, damaged looking Lever on the wall.
Cyrus jumped up, and with his serpentine tail, activated it.
...
Nothing.
The gate was still closed.
Cecil then checked the right side.
The wall had a hole, and right in front of it was a 3 storied building. Cecil went to his left, aiming to stay near the cave walls.
There was another similiar building, and to his right were more buildings.
Right now, there was a building behind and in frontof him.
Cyrus roared, and all the windows on the two buildings shattered.
Long and white bundles of silk, shaped like snakes, shot towards Cecil.
Red Rager and Blue Blitz immediately attacked the Silk Snakes from the front, and Cecil held A dagger of Rose Gold as Green Guardian guarded him and Cyrus just jumped to the top floor.
Cecil broke the door of the building behind him open, and got in.
Apart from the Silk Snakes, there were corpses.
A human head and Torso, but 4 spider arms and legs, with varying colors and straight and curved line patterns.
Three snakes lunged at Cecil.
He cut through one, crouched and stabbed one, and
*thud*
Green Guardian was on the floor like a door that was not hinged to a wall. It crushed the third one.
He could've dealt with the third one too.
"Oh yeah. I should try animating these snakes."
He pointed at the snake corpses, and,
" He heard a rustle, and turned.

Cecil rushed at the snake and cut it in half in a single cut, and looked at the staircase.
If it could be called one.
This was just an obstacle course.
Luckily, Green Guardian was as big as a door, and Cecil managed to climb easily.
Instead of stopping at he first floor, he just went straight to the second floor because he could fly using Green Guardian.
And in the center of the top floor, there was an Obsidian Black Cube, Floating in the Air, with a Red Eye shaped Rune in the center.
The eye Glowed, and the Cube opened.
And from the cube, a New Silk Snake appeared.
