"Show Status!" shouted Alexander.
Upon saying those words, a status bar suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I leveled up!" said Alexander upon seeing his status box.
"Boss! A box suddenly appeared!" said Sophia with a shocked expression.
"There is one in me too!" said the other two boys beside her,
"Me too, big bro!" said Zandra at the next moment.
"That's must've been your first quest! Read what it is!" said Alexander at the next moment.
Upon hearing those words, Oliver and others immediately read them without wasting any more time.
"It says that I need to defeat 5 orcs, big bro!" said Zandra.
"Mine said to defeat 15 goblin, boss!" said the other three children in front of him.
As they were talking, four of these children were given their own weapons by their own system. Sophia received a bow. While William received a dual sword. Oliver received a couple of daggers.
What shocked them the most was what Zandra had received from the system. It was a great sword that is a lot stronger than she was.
"WOW!" said the three as they looked upon their weapons.
At the same time, Zandra was holding the great sword that is even higher than he is. "How can I use this sword, big bro!?" she said as she tried to swing it.
"The system gave it to you so it trusts that you can handle it, Zandra. You can just practice using it," said Alexander with a hint of a smile.
In the next moments, Zandra was able to grasp how to use it. She was able to swing it very easily. 'Wow! My sister is really strong! No wonder the god gave her that system!' he thought to himself as he observed the others.
After a few moments, a notification box suddenly appeared in front of Alexander.
[ Third Quest!
~ As the King of the kingdom under the god, Ratsel, you need to prove your skill toward the god you are serving!
~ Finish the 10th floor of the dungeon!
~ Reward: 20 free stats points
~ Deadline: One month
~ Penalty: thirty random stats will be taken away by the system]
"A dungeon!?" said Alexander upon seeing the notification.
Suddenly, a big entrance opened in the back of the shrine. "This must be a dungeon!" said Alexander.
"Let's go back to our home for now! Let's talk about our next quest with father and the others what move to make," said Alexander.
He decided not to make a move while he and the others were still not prepared for a dungeon. Despite their young age, Alexander still has some knowledge about dungeons from his father. Dungeons contain endless possibilities but all of them have their own dangers.
Instead of entering it, Alexander decided to go back for now along with the children under his leadership.
As they go, he asked the three of them, "How long do you four have until your quest expires?"
"Only one week, big bro/boss," said the four in unison.
"Is that so? Very well. Let's talk about this with Father and Mother to make a preparation." said Alexander.
After taking their own system, the five kids did not hesitate on going home. After all, the sun is about to meet the horizon so if they don't, they will have to walk during the night.

"We're home!" said Alexander as they entered the house.
"ZANDRA!!!" shouted Alcatraz upon hearing Alexander and the others.
Upon hearing his father, Zandra immediately hid behind his big brother's back. She whispered to him, "Big bro! Protect me from dad's scolding!"
"Father, Mother, we have something to say to you!" said Alexander as they entered the dining room of their home.
"Let's eat first. son, before we talk about business, okay?" said Hilda with a smile.
Alexander's serious expression suddenly changed upon hearing his mother. His expression became mellower than before. "Okay, mother!" he said with a hint of a smile.
"Zandra! Next time, don't wander by yourself, okay!?" said Alcatraz upon seeing his daughter behind Alexander.
"Dear, I said let's talk about business after dinner so let's start now, shall we?" said Hilda with a smile.
A cold sweat suddenly fell on Alcatraz's face upon seeing his wife's expression. He said with an awkward smile to her, "Okay, dear."
~~~~
"A DUNGEON!?" said Samuel with a shocked expression.
As soon as they finished their dinner, they decided to start talking about business right after. Even Alcatraz and Hilda were shocked of hearing Alexander's story.
"Even Zandra got her own system!? She is still 10 years old! How could she get her own system?" said Alcatraz disregarding the fact that Alexander said a dungeon has created.
Since Alexander and the others had no idea about that matter, the one that answered is the knowledgeable Samuel. He said to Alcatraz, "I think the minimum is really 10 years old. But most of the king standardize 12 years old as the requirement to acquire their system. Some fail to finish their quest because of their youthful age so they standardize it to an age where they can do the quest on their own."
When Samuel looked back to the people he was explaining this matter, he saw all of them fell asleep. "Is this some kind of joke to all of you!?" he said with an annoyed tone.
The others opened their eyes and laughed upon seeing his reaction to their joke.
Since he was being laughed at by them, Samuel decided to change the subject by asking, "What do you mean by dungeon, Alexander?"
"After they got their systems from that shrine, a new quest suddenly appeared in front of me and the others. As we talked about our quests, the entrance of a dungeon suddenly appeared."
