Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

While having teatime with the Queen of Fairies, we began to talk about what we would do from now on. And to be honest, there weren't many plans, we were going to just go the swamps and find the boss and defeat it. Even if we had to steamroll our way through, I believed that it was completely possible for us to do that at this point. We had grown stronger as we were max level, and the boosts we were receiving from the Fairy Queen's Blessing, alongside the buffs I can grant with my magic and everything else… I think it should be possible.

"Hm, I know you're confident in your strength, but even then, you should at the very least learn the place's layout, especially because recently, it was reported that the Swamps turned into a Dungeon." Titania said.

"A Dungeon?!" I asked in shock. "But aren't Dungeons very unique?"

"Yes, they were. However, since the awakening of the Demon King of Miasma, Dungeons have begun to pop up around the world more commonly, although most were sealed after the fragmentation, the rehashing brought them all back, and much like previous slain foes, they're resurfacing through special ways. Sometimes, a key would drop from a monster, and other times, when someone enters a special area or defeats a certain monster, the dungeon would appear as well." Titania said.

Suddenly, she waved her hand as magic came from her hands, apparently the last two days since she recovered from the disease that she had been restoring her magic power further, although she's still not as strong as before, her magic was back to her and she could do some fantastical things.

FLASH!

Suddenly, a map emerged before our eyes made out of pink essence, it showed a large map of the forest of beginnings, as the Fairy Queen slowly began to augment the area where the swamps were.

"This is my special Skill [Clairvoyance], it allows me to see a certain area using Spirit Eyes, as if my eyes were up in the sky. it has a limited range and only covers around half the forest, but it works for what I want to tell you. Thanks to my other skill [Soul Projection], I can show you what I see. Here, this is the swamp."

The Queen had two amazing and useful-sounding Skills I wish I had as well… Anyways, she showed us the map and then expanded into the swamp. It looked like nothing like a swamp I remember seeing before! It looked like a gloomy phantasmal forest whose floor was covered in weird-looking monstrous plants and black water everywhere. The only things that roamed there were monsters.

"This entire Swamp had become a Dungeon, and the Snake Queen dwells within the depths of this area, the Swamp's Cave. It leads to a former temple said to have been built by the Ancient Elves that once inhabited the are of the swamps before they became swamps." Said the Fairy, seemingly looking rather pained. "I suppose they had yet to revive after the rehashing, perhaps the swamp existing here has inhibited such a thing."

"Reviving? Can NPC revive just like that?" Wondered Titan.

"There were… various eras in this world, the Fragmentation and the Rehashing could be said to be two big events that separate an Old Era with the Modern Era. As of now, we are in the Present Era. Those that might have perished back then were revived, this is why it is called the "Rehashing"." Said the queen. "I… It seems I can't tell you more than this for now, I am sorry… But you must know that people of the past that might had died, could revive now through divine methods. I can't tell more than that, it seems, so that'll have to do."

"It is fine, we kind of get it." I said. "So were the fairies revived as well?"

"Well… Everything." Said the queen. "Ungh…"

Suddenly, the Queen groaned a bit in pain, as I saw her gritting her teeth.

"Ah, my head…" She cried

"Queen!" Nieve and Florie flew to her side, but she seemed fine.

"I am fine, don't worry." Sighed Titania, as Acorn offered her a small little flask with Elixir on it.

"Please drink this if you feel bad, it will help you." He said gently.

"Thank you so much." The queen accepted the offer and after drinking the bit of elixir, she felt way better. "It appears I received a "Penalty" due to having spoken over my limitations. This almighty entity, the "System" seems to be a direct agent of the Gods, it watches over and controls everything… It is also the pillar of everything too, but it seems to not want knowledge to be spread to Players as much." She sighed. "I apologize once more for my incompetence."

"It is not your fault, please calm down." Titan said. "Are you feeling better now, Queen Titania?"

"Yes, dear. I feel better now." Sighed Titania. "Anyways, I should continue showing you."

She quickly got up from her seat and continued her explanation. Apparently in front of us there was the Swamp, and in the center of it, there was an entrance that led to ancient elven ruins where the Snake Queen was dwelling alongside her offspring, most likely. This is probably like the deepest floor in the dungeon. She quickly guided us through the place and showed us the shortest route.

"This should be the shortest route with the less monsters possible… But I would also recommend to bring these." The Queen quickly brought some bottles with a pink-colored liquid inside.

"What are these?" I wondered.

"Poison and Venom Antidotes. The Swamps are very dangerous, the water there is also toxic. Merely stepping over it might poison you, so you'll need to drink these to stay put. Acorn, is it possible for you to make some?" Wondered the Queen.

"I've gotten ahead of you, queen!" Acorn quickly brought out a large box of them. "I prepared over fifty!"
