**5 YEARS LATER**

I wake up from breaking into the Lion stage. Over the last few years, a few more vines wandered into my labyrinth. No other monsters, which was disappointing. My dungeon now extends 3 miles in diameter, 500 feet into the air, and 100 feet into the ground. As I am waking up I realized something that shocked me. I HAVE NO BODY. I mean seriously, how did I miss this? It’s been five and a half years! He suddenly appears again.

“Finally reached the Lion stage did you?” He asks/states.

“Yes, how did you know? I answer.

“I felt you gain self-awareness, dungeons don’t have that until they reach the Lion rank. You can make your body by calling a vine worm over to you and injecting qi into until it’s significantly bigger than you.” He tells me.

I call one over to me and inject qi into it until it is bigger than me. Then, suddenly, it eats me. It eats me! In its stomach, I can feel it dissolving my core. In a kind of panicked reaction, I shove all of the qi I have in me out. This causes a reaction in it turning its intestines into a tunnel able to move my core throughout its body. It rapidly develops muscle that allows it/me to writhe around quickly and grows to a little over thirty yards long and one yard thick. Small flexible poison filled spikes grow out of my skin while it hardens, and large feelers grow out too. My front grows a maw of teeth that look like they could eat bulders.(they can) Then a final change happens, my core grows little vines in it that can extend outward. As the changes stop I feel my self passing out again. All I can think while this happens is. Man dungeons pass out a lot

When I wake up I see him in front of me but am too groggy to say anything.

He says to me, “Before you get mad if I had told you what would happen you would have died. Before this, you were not experienced in shoving qi out of your body. If you had known of the danger beforehand, you would not have shoved the qi out in shock.”

I respond, ” Well fine I guess but please don’t do it again.”

“Ok I won’t,” He tells me.

So I ask him, ” What class of monster am I?”

He answers, ” You are class B monster. Although your ability to attack is relatively low, you are very tough and can severely damage structure getting you the class B ranking.”

After we finish talking I start moving around a bit to get used to moving and dive into and out of the ground. As I travel around I notice something interesting, the vine worms have started to mutate from the form getting bigger or longer or growing thorns. Then, I notice something awesome. There is a new monster in my dungeon. It is a flower that excretes and knockout gas and will keep you out until you die. Or someone moves you, or it rains. The gas is pretty hydrophilic.

At this point, I head back to the center of my dungeon. Once there I settle down and start to cultivate.
