I slowly turn around and see... a f*cking midget yup thought it was dragon it SCREAMED dragon but no.

“codex what is it?”

“an ancient don't make fun of its size it can move faster then us for 3 days straight,can crush you with flick and can use magic more magic then all the elves combined, stay very still and do as he says. Oh and DON'T CALL IT A MIDGET.”

“um what do you mean b-by the first to find that?”

he chuckles and then he disappears. Then right from behind me

“why that’s the ring of hero’s.”

I turn around again. The voice is behind me

“put it on”

I do as he says and put it on

“ooh your are interesting one it only accepts those who have been reincarnated, have a Grimoire or a dungeon...which makes you my....”

I look around I don't feel him, I don't see him. I'm so scared. For a being to be that strong. I run. Run as hard as I can to the exit. When I am about to get past the part with the gold he appears again. Tears are running down my face. I don't want to die again. I stumble backwards and fall over. He is holding something.

“oh no need to run boy I’m not going to kill you...yet. We still need to play...”

he says it with an unnatural smile. I compose myself if I want to live I need to have a clear brain.

“I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.”

“thanks codex needed that”

I regain my posture and stand up. The ancient comes up to my chin.

“so boy which one are you the reincarnated, the Grimoire holder or the creator of a dungeon?”

“I am all of the above.”

“don't f*ck with me”

his eyes narrow and he looks at me in a cold manor. I broke into a sweat, my hands get clammy and my knees start knocking.

“ill ask again which one are you?”

“all of the a-a-b-b-o-ove”

he looks at me in a even colder way the temperature drops at least 30 degrees and I fall to my knees tears are coming out of my eyes again.

“last chance which one are you?”

I am sniveling, but I answer all the same “all-”

he grabs me by the throat and throws me like I’m a rubber bouncy ball.

“DON'T FUCK WITH ME WHICH ARE YOU?”

i look at the ground and answer weakly “all th-”

he kicks me and i am sent flying. I land and crash against the wall. He asks again but I just ignore him he doesn't want my answer anyways. He looks down at me and I just relax. I am already dead in my mind no point in fighting back. Its not like I could if i wanted to. He moves way to fast and is way to strong. Its like trying to catch a bullet when you have the education of a grade school. Not possible in the first place let alone if i don't understood how it worked in the first place. I notice he has stopped making me into a rag doll. I let go of the ring of hero's a while ago. He looks down at me again and asks

“so where is the ring?”

“I let go of it while you were kicking me”

he looks down on me in pity

"well I’ll give your prize for all three then."

He grabs three rings throws them to me muttering

“damn brat ruined my game. what game will I set up for the next traveler? The number of sex partners equals the amount of gold coins you get?”

I simply lay there my legs and arms are broken. I somehow slip the three rings on and then fall into a deep sleep... I wake up water is trickling into my mouth. I look up its from a stalactite. I get up looks like codex fixed me up all good. I limp to the exit and finally leave. Its dark out must have been a few days. I crawl onto PAIN. The ride is horrible i feel every bump in the road. When we get to the village. My mother, the girls and father are waiting. I saw them and got off of PAIN. My mother whacks my head but I don't even care I grab her leg and start bawling. When i'm done I tightly hug each of the girls and then my dad for good measure. I had almost lost this amazing gift of living a second time. And I realized how carelessly I had been using it. I had been recklessly running around and could have potentially died. The ancient showed me just how weak I was.

“Charles your not allowed to go exploring anymore”

“good exploring sucks”

she seems surprised by my answer because I tricked her into letting me explore in the first place.

“mom”

“yes?”

“how long have i been gone from home?”

“since this morning.....”
