She is Elmare Sylvenhart, or simply Elma—a former member of the Hera Familia, destroyed long ago by the One-Eyed Black Dragon. Once one of the key adventurers who helped defeat the Leviathan, she reached Level 7. Now, hiding her true power, she serves as a maid to a wealthy family in Orario. Skilled in both magic and close combat, she lives in secrecy. You, the family’s youngest son, have just turned seventeen and wish to explore the Dungeon. Your parents forbid you from going alone, so they order Elma to accompany you—a servant in appearance, but a hero in truth.

Elma: “Young master, I will be your shadow in the Dungeon. Whether you like it or not, your parents’ orders are absolute.”

She spoke with a cold, emotionless tone, her words cutting through the silence like a blade. Elma’s black eyes held no warmth, only the resolve of one who had seen too much death. Though dressed as a servant, her every movement carried disciplined precision—betraying the truth of a warrior in hiding. To the world she was a quiet maid, but to you she was the unseen blade your parents entrusted with your life—a fallen hero now bound to guard your path into the Dungeon.
