《Dungeon monster》Chapter 5: the naming and nests

(???) 'Let's get started.'
Wow,
(Zig) 'What the heck was that dream about?'
I took a little nap after the talk with Zack.
(Zack) 'Hey Zig, remember telling me to tell you when that wolf chick woke up?'
(Zig) 'Ya, I kinda do.'
(Zack) 'Well, she's up, and I think you should go talk with her.'
(Zig) 'Ok, I was planning to do that anyways.'
(Zack) 'Also it would be annoying to keep calling her, female or just her, so can you waste some of your Mana to name her?'
(Zig) 'Wait it costs Mana to name someone?'
(Zack) 'Ya, it does, I found it weird that you were named as a cub since normally wolves get their names after surviving for about 4 years.'
(Zig) 'Well, I didn't know any of this, remember I am only 2 days old and not a dungeon.'
(Zack) 'That's true, anyways, if things go well, I will make you a Nightmare Wolf pack leader.'
(Zig) 'Is that an evolution?'
(Zack) 'Not really, more of a title, and you get some stats boosted up. Oh, and alpha in front of your name.'
(Zig) 'Well, that will be enough.'
I left the dungeon heart room, and went to the entrance. Where I saw a Nightmare Wolf staring out of the entrance.
(Zig) 'You know if you leave, you won't live for long.'
(Female wolf) '*Growl* So what? The only one I loved is dead.'
(Zig) 'You know that he is dead?'
(Female wolf) 'Ya, no normal wolf could survive that.'
(Zig) 'Well, whatever, I am going to give you a name so that me, and Zack can talk to you easier.'
(Female wolf) ‘Wait what?'

(Zig) 'Your name is Dakota, now.'
After I said that there was a huge drain on me.
I thought ‘Status.’

Title:Zake's first creature
So that's why Zake wanted me to name her, it costs a lot to name a weak creature.
(Dakota) 'Wow, I feel so much stronger.'
(Zig) 'Have you ever checked your stats?'
(Dakota) 'What's that?'
(Zig) 'Just say status.'
(Dakota) 'Status.'
A cute smile appears on her face, don't ask me how I know I just do.
(Rogor) 'Hey, guys.'
Rogor comes in with 6 other rats following behind him.
(Zig) 'Rogor where did you get all these friends?'
(Rogor) 'Some of them are more than friends, and through my ability.'
The 6 rats drag in three rabbit bodies that get absorbed.
(Zig) 'Have you been hunting all night?'
(Rogor) 'Ya, whys that I bring in about 1 to 3 rabbits every time.'
I decide to analyze Rogor.
Race: rat

Relation: co-worker
Skill: call for help lvl 2
Lvl 9
Man Rogor is about to become a monster.
(Zack) 'Guys I got enough Mana to make 2 extra rooms, so yea.'
After he says that the whole room shakes.
--------------------------------------
(Zack) 'I also made a nest of the rats in the second room.'
(Zig) 'What about us?'
(Zack) 'You can use room 3.'
(Dakota) 'And what's this us?!'
(Zig) 'We are the same race now, and you can't leave the dungeon so we will be living together.'
(Dakota) 'Well, I guess I have to.'
We go to the room 3, and set up some place to sleep.
There was now moss in the cave, and bugs were starting to show up.
(Zake) 'I am going to start making an ecosystem in the dungeon.'
(Zig) 'That's cool so I can eat rats.'
Here I come Rogor.
(Zake) 'Soon, all except Rogor though.'

Just a Game
“A great corruption is spreading. The people cry out for a savior. For a hero. For YOU! Come join the fight, as the chosen of World Tree! Receive the blessings of the gods, battle fierce monsters, and become the hero you were meant to be, in Arcanum Online!” It was the cheesiest commercial Ethan had ever heard, but the gameplay was enough to draw him - and thousands of others - to the fantasy world of Lazuros. It’s the sort of place that can really draw you in - a huge open world, a deep character customization system, and a feature that makes time pass slower inside the game, extending your limited playtime! It was a little strange, though. As if it was a bit too realistic for a game of swords and sorcery. The NPC’s seemed almost alive, most quests didn’t reset and monsters respawned slowly. Still, for all it’s quirks, it was a good game! Just a game. And nothing more. …right?

“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.

She makes it to her grandparents house but that's the only thing that happens as planned. Lyla learns she is apart of a supernatural world where soulmates work together to keep evil at bay. But Lyla and her soulmate aren't like the others. Not like her brother and his soulmate. Not like her parents. They are the first two beings ever created and if they want to stay together, they'll have to do more than keep evil at bay - they'll need to sew the seam between two worlds and seal up the Underworld for good before the evils kill them.

What's more another strange entity who has the ability to grant her wishes offers her a deal she just can't refuse! The deal is simple, the strange entity brings to the world of Strarth someone who Afa can mold into a villain and then Afa can summon a few hand picked heroes from this backwards planet called earth. What's not to love? This is where Bryson Colin Coldwater comes in. Falling from the sky on a cold rainy night an infant Bryson is found in the garden of the Coldwaters. A noble elitist group that is known to rule their land with fear. Throughout Bryson's life his family call him the chosen one, and that their family has been chosen above all others. A perfect upbringing to bring up a egotistical villain. Unfortunately, for Afa, and fortunately for Bryson, he does not quite develop in the way she wanted him to. Over the course of Bryson's life, he will be in countless different scenarios and situations that are made to turn him into a villain that will be defeated by the heroes in the future. Bryson will unknowingly resolve these conflicts in any other outcome but the one Afa wants.
