CHAPTER SEVEN
Even other gods are wondering what's going on?
~
Meanwhile, his friends had arrived on the outskirts of town
And when they saw an old farmer they quickly flagged him down
But just before they got is attention their status changed
Status messages popped up and numbers rearranged

Hurry leaf, your friend is not as safe as he should be
Something awful might happen which I could not foresee
Hurry back to help young Twig before it is too late
All he has the strength to do alone is curse his fate
~ Name: Pebble ~
Title: Protector
Class: Tank [lv1]

Pebble, you must quickly get help and go back to Twig
His guardian betrayed him like some cruel treacherous pig
Your quest is to try defending him from what has come
Friendship is where most of your true power will come from
~ Name: Sky ~
Title: Angelic

You must ride the wind to render aid to your old friend
If you fail your heart will surely break and never mend
Use your gifts to help the weak around you and be strong
Twig is still alive but his luck won’t hold out for long
The three friends were alarmed by what the messages had said
“Come on boys, if we don’t hurry, Twig could end up dead”
They called the farmer over and explained they had to run
Luckily the farmer’s hero days were far from done
~ Name: Todd ~

Hurry old man, this is not a quest to take lightly
Someone’s child is now in peril, you must go quickly
Help those children and I’ll give you any stats you need
Something in this situation is quite strange indeed
Todd was old and grey but far from ready to retire
When somebody needed him, he’d unleash all his fire
A weak magician but a man with power in his fist
And when he picked a target to punch he had never missed
“A tiny portal eh, that could be something serious
But the messages we received are quite curious
Bring me there and waste no time, we’ll save your little friend
I’m a hero on which any children can depend”
They starting running right away, with leaf taking the lead
Retracing their steps along the way with awesome speed
“I hope the portal turns out to be nothing to scary”
Pebble’s optimism helped, but Sky was still wary
“Something doesn’t seem quite right at all with this whole thing
Even now our guardians say Twig’s is not helping
For all the effort he’s put in, our friend is far from strong”
Sky held her tears back as she spoke and quickly flew along
Even though her goddess had been kind to her before
As she was a girl that any goddess would adore
Never had a message from her goddess felt this way
And what she read next was not common for gods to say
Achievement: Observer
Sky, you know that gods can’t tamper with your realm too much
We could damage it beyond repair with just a touch
And the System watches us to make sure we abide
But I feel something's coming which puts us on the same side

8 133Master of Dungeons
-This is my first attempt at uploading a story I created. It is not a fanfic, but uses several systems from other stories I've read. I hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave comments or criticisms as appropriate. Thank you.-Edwin Cast was your (mostly) regular guy living and working in Kentucky. He had a knack for working, and was always bouncing from job to job as fancy took him. Insatiably curious, he was always on the look out for new or interesting information or things to do. You could say he was a 'hard-work fanatic'.But with an ailing mother and the inability to realize that he was being shunned by those considered his 'betters', he met his mortal end at the hands of those people who he replaced. Beaten to death on the same day his mother died, he's soon pulled from the void into a world beyond his own imagination. Reborn into a fantasy world as the last 'Demon Lord', Edwin is expected to rule over a vast number of races, each of which are considered 'monsters' and demon-kin by the zealous human kingdoms of the world. And if that wasn't enough, the only way to progress and make ends meat is to build and control 'Dungeons' for the righteous humans to invade!Edwin will have to give it his all in a world he never expected even existed, and will have to learn to survive with his wits and growing power in order to establish something resembling peace in the war-torn lands of Eternia.-NOTE: I'm still in the process of working on the storyline, characters, and abilities that will be presented. A large number of themes are planned, and mature/adult content is planned. The story may also be a bit slow in some cases, so please bare with me. Thanks again!-NOTE: People have been mentioning the rough grammar and spelling errors that come with my posts; and while I've said so in the forum comments, I'm going to post it here as well. This is all basically a rough draft. I post the chapters as I write them, with only a spell-check for accuracy. None of the chapters are proofread. Once people point out blatant errors, I try to correct them; but otherwise I'm more interested in writing. If anyone wishes to proofread my work, shoot me a PM on the forums! Thanks again.
