The forest exuded an aura of enchantment, its small and dense expanse teeming with a rich tapestry of life. Towering spruce, willow, and elm trees formed a lush canopy that partially obscured the sunlight, creating pockets of illumination that pierced through the foliage. These beams of light illuminated the forest floor, allowing a diverse array of plants to flourish amidst the crunchy layer of fallen leaves.

Climbing plants gracefully draped themselves around the trunks of trees, their tendrils reaching towards the heavens. Vibrant flowers, scattered sporadically throughout the forest, added bursts of color and whimsy to the verdant backdrop. The forest was a harmonious blend of green hues, with various shades intermingling to create a captivating mosaic of life.

The air was alive with a cacophony of sounds, a symphony orchestrated by the creatures that called the forest home. The rustling of leaves, caused by foraging animals in search of sustenance, mingled with the melodic chirping of birds and the gentle hum of insects. Occasionally, the splashing of fish in a nearby lake could be heard, a reminder of the diverse ecosystems that thrived within the forest's embrace.

Amidst this natural wonder, a powerful dungeon lay hidden, belonging to a prestigious family of the Holy Empire. The members of this family, accompanied by their loyal knights, made their way through the forest towards the entrance of the dungeon. Clad in armor and armed with weapons, they moved with purpose, their determination evident in their eyes.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, they encountered various monstrous creatures that guarded the dungeon. With calculated precision, the family members and their knights engaged in fierce battles, their skills and prowess on full display. The clash of swords, the crackle of magic, and the roar of mythical beasts filled the air as they fought their way towards their ultimate goal.

With each monster they defeated, the family grew closer to their destination, their resolve unyielding. They were driven by a sense of duty and a desire to protect the sacred secrets that lay within the dungeon's depths. The forest bore witness to their valiant quest, its ancient trees standing tall as silent guardians of the family's legacy.

Together, they pressed forward, navigating the labyrinthine forest and overcoming every obstacle in their path. Their journey through the forest was a testament to their strength, unity, and unwavering commitment to their noble cause.

Amidst the group walking towards the dungeon, there was a captivating presence in the form of a beautiful short-haired girl named Eri. With her fiery spirit and a powerful command over Fire magic, she stood out among her companions. As they confronted a towering two-headed ogre, standing at an imposing seven meters tall, Eri stepped forward to face the monstrous foe.

With a determined expression on her face, Eri channeled her inner strength and unleashed her formidable Fire magic. Flames danced and swirled around her, coalescing into a blazing inferno that engulfed her hands. As the ogre swung its massive axe towards her, Eri met the attack head-on, her flames colliding with the giant weapon.

The clash between magic and brute force reverberated through the forest, creating a spectacle that drew the attention of both friend and foe. Eri's Fire magic roared with intensity, its brilliance matching the ferocity of her opponent. The Hell fire she wielded burned with an otherworldly intensity, consuming everything it touched.

"... Our Family was one of the guardians and branches that escaped from the disaster of Chaos. Thereafter, we arrived at the Holy Empire and signed an agreement with the then Archangel. We used our remaining magical technologies to work for the empire while the Archangel protected us. Ever since then, our Family lived in the rmpire for generations. We've always been waiting for the person who held the rights to return to this place and awake the tinder in order for our Family to restore our honor."

Marlene said softly. At this moment, magic crystals emanating faint radiances could be seen along the wide tunnel. However, unlike other tunnels, there were all sorts of mechanical pipes lined throughout the edges and ceilings. White steam was ejected from the openings from time to time, which brought some wetness to this dry tunnel.

"So, the residents here are the descendants of the Family too?"

Eri will led the way. The path ahead was dark and empty. Ten minutes had gone since they entered the place and they didn't see anyone yet. The voices from before didn't seem to exist at all.

Marlene was familiar with this place, after all it was a place she often came to.

"Only a part of them, my daughter."

Marlene shook her head.

"The Tinder Origin is the most dangerous place, with most of the residents as guardians, who were originally members of the Family, responsible for daily maintenance of the tinder. When the Family fled from the disaster, the guardians, alongside our family members, were sealed in the Tinder Origin. If it weren't for their hard work, perhaps the tinder wouldn't have lasted perfectly until now."

''So, what is sealed in the depth of this dungeon is the Tinder of Origin?" Eri asked curious.

''You could say so.'' Marlene shrugged her shoulders.

''Every descendants of the family if chosen must undergo a trial to get acknowledged and ignite the Tinder of Origin. This will help you prepare for the incoming calamity. Do not be deserved by the peaceful air, war against Chaos is coming and you will the tinder who shines brightly amidst this chaotic era.''

Facing her mother overwhelming enthusiasm, Eri felt overwhelmed and wondered if the future wasn't bleak. Hopefully, not.
