The old man asks the young hero what he has to offer him. The fiendfire pearl that his brother gave him is a bomb that can destroy any data server in the game. The young hero explains that the pearl was an idea of his brother, who never took the time to develop it. He asks the old man to help him find his son, but he can only give him the pearl once he brings back his son. The man says that he cannot help finding his son because he is trapped in the same game as the other three players. He tells the young heroes to chase down the dog and kill the mad beggar, who is trying to protect the other humans in the dungeon. He says that killing the dog will ensure that he will not be able to leave the dungeon forever.
