《Core Evolution》Another Day, Another Kill
Advertisement
Cyrus wakes up to a new day, feeling fresher than ever. His mp is fully restored, so he's no longer mentally exhausted.
{Good Morning Cyrus, what will be the first task today?}
Cyrus slept on the thought about giving the monsters names, and he still doesn't know if he should waste his time for something like that. Like Pics said, they're just programmed monsters. Or they're supposed to be. It would be different if there was a need for it, but he barely talks to the monsters.
'Let's go to the first floor, but first I want to see how much closer my core is to level 2. '
'Open Experience'

Cyrus smirks 'Oh, they've killed quite a lot when I was asleep. Let's head to the first floor'
{Teleporting now}
Once they've arrived, all 5 monsters instantly appeared in front of him and bowed. Cyrus finally got a good look at them, and examined their features. They're all wearing a black fighting suit that almost matches their skin tone and their eyes have yet to open. They've been closed all this time.
'It's a wonder how they see, but I guess they just have really good senses.'
As described before, they were 8 feet, very lean and their skin was black as ink. However, they all had characteristics that was different from the rest.
Starting with the one horned monster, her hair color is silver while her hairstyle is a bob cut with one side longer than the other. On her left hip was an empty sheathe. 'So she uses a sword...that's interesting'
To the right of her is the monster with 1 horn facing up and the other facing down, his hair color is black while his hairstyle is a tapered undercut. He hasn't shown any of his skills.
In the middle is the monster with a horned crown, her hair color is a dark purple while her hairstyle is a big afro. Cyrus has yet to see her reveal any kind of skill either. From what he's seen, she is the leader of the group.

Next, is the no horned monster, his hair color is dark brown while his haircut is a low cut fade. 'It seems he doesn't talk much, or at all.' Cyrus already saw his energy spike skill.
Lastly, is the monster with 2 horns facing up, his hair color is dark red while his hairstyle is curly. He has 4 piercings; 2 studs on the left and 1 stud with a cross earring on the right. 'I think I can take a guess on what his skill is'
"Good morning my king, what has brought you here?" The horned crown monster smiles
In his soul form, Cyrus scratches the back of his head and smiles slightly 'I don't know if I can get used to being called that'
{I'm still not used to them talking}
"I just came to check on the first floor's progress."
"Then tell us whenever you need something" All 5 disappeared and went back onto their pillars.
'Now, we can-....' Before Cyrus could finish his sentence, out of no where, a message popped up in the dungeon.
[-We have a visitor-]
'Perfect timing! we'll just wait here for now'
{I will make us invisible}
'I wonder what race it is this time' he grins
The entrance barrier to the first floor opens, and the first to walk out was a Micell.
Cyrus frowns 'Again!? Did my dungeon drop in the middle of a Micell city?'
He was about to tell Pics to teleport them back until he saw the 2 others that came after the Micell.
...
"Here it is! The cursed dungeon!" The gray Micell yelled
"You must destroy this dungeon! Whoever goes in... never comes out! It's taken a lot of my friends and fam-..." A huge white Ratman with an Italian mobster accent and different colored eyes squeezed the Micell's face
"Ay, I didn't ask for all that! The only thing I care about is the payment. Keep it nice and toasty when I finish. C'mon Quill!"
A white Ratman with black spots strides inside. "Aye aye boss"

"I better get some good stuff out of this because if those Micells give me some milk and cheese as a reward they're gonna die."
The Ratmans head up the arena and encounter a one horned female monster. She's standing in the center of the square with both hands to her side.
The different colored eyed Ratman raises an eyebrow, "Who are you?"
She doesn't answer and stays silent.
"Hey! My boss is talking to you!"
The one horned monster continues to not answer them.
"Calm down, Quill...maybe she's scared" He walks up to her, getting a closer look of her features.
'I don't know what race she is, but she's extremely attractive... I'll gladly take her as my wife' he grins
He chuckles "Have you been stuck in this dungeon? Don't worry, once I destroy it, I'll take you out and you'll be free with me. How does that sound?"
Slowly but surely, as he was talking to her, she forms her psychic energy sword and strikes immediately when he finished speaking. The Ratman luckily managed to parry with his heavy handed sword from behind his back.
"Oho, Fiesty"
She ignores his comments and leaps back as he does the same. He then throws a overhand cut while she quickly parries. He aims for the other side and she blocks it again.
It goes back and forth until they both jumped back again. "You're strong! You're even more fitting to be my wife."
She rushes back in aiming for low cut towards his stomach and he aims low to parry. However, once they got close to each other, she instead jumped on his sword and went behind him to stab his back.
"Ow! I underestimated you! Quill assist!" He leaps back
"Aye Boss!" Quill rushes onto the arena and readies his long sword.
"What'cha gonna do now when there's two of us?"
She sighs and forms another sword for other her hand.
They immediately surround her and rush in, but she blocks both of their strikes slapping their blades aside. She jumps in front of quill and quickly slides over cutting at his right arm. Since he was to slow, he found himself looking at his arm and sword on the ground.
"AaaaAa! You'll pay for that!" He recklessly charges towards, so she easily trips him and stabs him in the head.
A hostile aura has been released. "You b*tch! No one kills my men!"
He pounces towards her with his heavy handed sword and attempts to smash her to the ground, but she disappeared before that could happen.
Still in mid air, almost coming in contact with the ground, the one horned monster appeared behind the Ratman and smacked him to the floor with her foot.
The Ratman's spine and ribcage broke due to the crash, so he can't get up "Ugh.... how did you get behind me?"
She laughs, "What are you talking about?"
"There's no way... you could've gotten behind me when my eyes were locked on you this whole time."
"Oh, that can't be possible..." She lays her hand on her face, "...because you've been fighting my double since the beginning. I've been standing and watching the fight over there in the corner"
"W-WHAT!?" He turns his head to the corner she was pointing..
She summons her body double next her. "Don't we look alike?" she smiles
"If you k-kill me my clan will come here and destroy you and this sh*tty dungeon!"
"We welcome them" She grins and slashes at his neck, chopping his head off.
...
'That was amazing!' Cyrus was on the edge of his seat the entire battle. It has him even more excited to acquire a fake body so he can fight himself.
'I haven't even seen them all fight yet! They need names!! What should they be?'
[How would I know? I think giving them names is a bit weird]
'I know! Their names are....!'
