Summary
Risa Shiramine is unable to join Kaede Honjou because her parents want her to focus on her studies. As Maple logs in she realizes she's in starting equipment and asks a fellow greatshielder, Chrome, about where to get better equipment. He takes her to Iz who teases Chrome. Maple doesn't have enough money though, so Iz suggests going to a dungeon. Maple adds Iz and Chrome to her friends list before going.

Chrome talks with his friends about meeting Maple and they all decide to keep an eye on her. Maple heads for the Hydra's Labyrinth and uses her shield to take out slimes. She progresses through the dungeon fighting some monsters and dealing with traps. She eventually reaches the end and comes face to face with the Poison Dragon. After her sword and shield are destroyed by the dragon's acid breath, she uses meditation with some potions to eventually get poison immunity. She tries cutting it up with rocks but has no luck and eventually eats the dragon. The breath ends up adding some 'spice' as she put it and she eats the dragon to death.

Poison Immunity becomes the Hydra skill, and she gets the Hydra eater skill as well. She's happy for the poison magic and looks over the chest's contents to get the dark knight's replica, black rose armor and new moon short sword. She learns about infusing spells and infuses her hydra skill with her short sword. She decides to play a little more with her new skills before logging off.
