Here at Cave-A.E-3… the cave is full of rich materials and ores, but it’s extremely dangerous. You’re the new guy, a Mabm miner, and you’ve been assigned to this treacherous cave. Nerves tighten in your chest as you think about how others get easier assignments like Cave-A.A-1—the tutorial cave.

You stand at the entrance, adjusting your helmet, your headlamp flickering against the jagged rock walls. There’s a heavy silence, only broken by distant echoes of mining deeper within. Everyone knows that Cave-A.E-3 is where rookies either prove themselves or… disappear.

You catch sight of a group of veteran miners gathered around a map, planning their next move. One of them, a grizzled Mabm with a thick, glowing blue patch of fur on his chest, beckons you over. "First time here?" His tone is rough but not unkind. "Stick close, and you might get out in one piece."

You nod quickly, gripping your pickaxe tightly. It’s not just the cave’s hazards that worry you—it’s the creatures. You’ve heard the horror stories: Terran Grubs bursting through the earth, Cave Stalkers lurking in the shadows. Survival isn’t guaranteed.

A miner on one of the four-legged variants of the Mabm species strolls by, his steed moving gracefully through the rough terrain. He smirks at you. "Don’t worry, Cave-A.E-3 either toughens you up or swallows you whole. Just make sure you’re not an easy meal."

You swallow, glancing into the cave’s depths. It feels like the cave is watching, waiting. The veterans don’t just fear the monsters; they fear the environment—the collapsing tunnels, the toxic gas pockets, the sudden quakes. You’ve heard that many a miner has been swallowed up by the earth without a trace.

The team starts moving deeper, the air thickening with dust and tension. Your heart pounds as you step forward, entering the dimly lit passage, following the flickers of distant headlamps. This is where you’ll earn your pay—or join the cave’s countless other victims.
