--- Mirikin's POV ---
What the!? He just came here and told me Mayu is dead and to take care of that little girl?! I don't believe it!
Oh the S-Classes are here. I wonder what they did...
S-class: "We are sorry to inform you of this... Mayu was a heretic and we took care of her. We also destroyed the dungeon as it could've killed even us if we weren't prepeared to face such a dungeon. Have you seen the man named Quinn?"
No... No no no.... Mayu was a heretic...? I don't believe it! But she is dead now... Quinn... I think he is running from the S-classes... I trust Mayu more than them!
Mirikin: "No. I didn't see him. But... Why did you kill Mayu?"
S-class: "We don't take lightly to heretics. We must be on our way now."
The S-classes leave. The SS-class is nowhere to be seen... Mayu is dead... The little girl... Is the only thing Mayu gave me and the only thing what will help me remember her... I'll do as Quinn said... If Mayu trusted him I will too... Even if it might kill me I will trust him and train the girl... I need to name her aswell... And find out info about where Quinn is at so I know if he is dead or not...
I walk up to the girl.
Mirikin: "Hmm... What should I name you... Akuna... Yeah you are Akuna..."
Akuna: "A..Ku...a?"
Mirikin: "Do you know how to speak?"
Akuna: "..."
Mirikin: "Seems like I need to start there huh... Mayu left me with such a responsibility..."
I teach her to talk and it only takes a year for her to grasp the entire human and dwarven language. She is quite the fast learner in languages... Now for the training...
I wake her up very early in the morning...
Akuna: "Mirikin? Why did you wake me up so soon?"
Mirikin: "It is time to start your training."
I take her to the yard and tell her to grab a sword and swing it atleast 100 times. She looks at me weirdly but she eventually does it.
Mirikin (whispering to herself): "I'll do as Quinn said for Mayu... Mayu trusted Quinn... I don't completely trust him but I will train this little girl... I was going to do that anyways."
I train her in the basic and normal levels of fighting for 4 years... It is time to show her the fighting style I have. The two shortswords... It does look like she likes shortswords more than other swords. Makes it easier...
Mirikin: "Akuna! It is time for you to learn my fighting style. You have mastered the basic and normal level of fighting with swords. It is time for you to learn the Advanced and a fighting style."

Akuna: "Yes!! Finally!!! I have been waiting so long for this!"
I train her in the Advanced and my fighting style for 2 years... Then suddenly while I was at the desk... He came back... Quinn came back...
--- Akunas POV ---
What... The man who was next to the woman who bought me at the auction came here and told the woman something and then left in a hurry... The woman next to me looks confused... What is going on? I don't understand...
The other men who were here before came back too... They are talking to eachother and I can't understand them...
The men leave... The woman next to me is looking sad again... What is she going to do now...? She walks up to me and says something... The only part I hear is Akuna... I repeat after her as It seems to be the best thing to do... I need to learn what is going on...
Akuna: "A..Ku...A?"
She then says something else and starts teaching me things... She teaches me how to speak for one year and I master 2 languages... I go to sleep and suddenly wake up and see Mirikin next to me.
Akuna: "Mirikin. Why did you wake me up so soon?"
Mirikin: "It is time to start your training."
Training... What training is she talking about? I now understand that the woman who bought me at the auction is dead... The man who was next to the woman who bought me is on the run from something... But what is the training neccesary for?
I follow her to the yard and she tells me to pick up a sword. I look at her and then do it. I swing 100 times like she told me. She muttered something under her breath when I started...
I master the basic and normal levels of fighting in a few years. She then approaches me again and tells me it is time to start with the Advanced and her personal style... I have been waiting for this! I am finally becoming closer to her power! But I wonder when the man who left me here will come back... Mirikin told me he will come back and his name is Quinn... The woman who was next to him was Mayu...
I train in the advanced and her personal style for a few years until I hear a commotion coming from the front... I keep training only to find somebody coming towards me... I immediatly stop and look at them... It is Quinn... He came back for me... This is the first time somebody has done that...
I immediatly jump up to him to hug him... I am too overjoyed by him coming back... He also helped buy me out of a fate worse than death...

--- Captain of the ship where Quinn was sleeping at for 7 years. ---
Hooh? Somebody boarded our little vessel and payed for it? He better not get in the way because I will drop him into the sea if he does... Wait.. Did he go to the rafters just now... He fell asleep in the rafters!? Hahahaha! This little guy is going to be interesting! But if he gets in the way I will drop him into the sea... We ride from port to port for 5 years. The guy who was with us is still sleeping! I took the libery of taking the payment myself. He is quite rich... He could've funded this entire expedition himself.
We then start heading back with the ship... It is going to take 2 years to get back... We have to take THAT shortcut huh...
Crew member: "Where are we heading Captain? That way is... The Devils Sea."
Captain: "I know! But if we stay here longer we will run out of food and die one way or another! This is the best bet!"
Crew Member: "I'll tell the rest of them to ready up."
The crew member runs out and I hear shouting on the deck... We ride towards the Devils Sea for a year. The man is still asleep... How long can a man sleep without eating or drinking? He might hold the world record at this rate! Not like I know what the record is... When we reach the devils sea we all go on lookout. We don't want those pirates after us. They just like burning ships for the sake of burning ships! We ride through the Devils Sea for 1 year... It is quite a big sea... More like an ocean. But at the end is something quite terrifying... The Devils Raiders... The pirates I did NOT want to see in this trip.
Captain: "Full speed ahead! Those who can use water magic use it to deflect all the fireballs what are coming our direction!"
Crew Member: "None of us know any magic!"
Damn! We have to hope we can swim to shore now! We ram one of the pirates ship and the ship sinks. We have quite a few hull breaches from the fireballs. We then see... 3 more approaching from the side... Too late to do anything. Fire magic already hit us and we are going down... A captain goes down with it's ship does he not? I go to the captains quarters and sit on my chair... I then feel the water rushing through the window onto my back... Soon after I go down with the ship... There goes my life. I hope the crew got out safely... And what about that man? Well no matter now...
--- Mayu's POV ---
W..What happened... I was slashed in half wasn't I... Why am I still... Concious? Is this what they call the afterlife? Hahahha.... This place looks like a grand palace
???: "Hoh... A new one."
Mayu: "Who are you!?"
???: "The goddess who gave the person you know as Quinn reincarnation. It seems he doesn't want to let you go... I took quite an interest in the mind of that person. He might've seen like a regular person in his past life but his potential was too good for that world. It seems that if you die he will... Be depressed forever... That is not a way my champion should act!
I will let you reincarnate girl. Make Quinn happy alright? His potential is to be that of a God Dungeon..."
Mayu: "God dungeon!? What are you talking abou-"
A small light covers me and when I come to... I see 3 things. A sleeping soul of... Is that Quinn...? And is that Innver?!
Mayu: "Innver!"
Innver: "WHO!?"
Mayu: "Innver! It's just me! Mayu!"
Innver: "Mayu is dead!"
Mayu: "The goddess allowed me to come back to this world to help Quinn... "
Innver: "Hoh... Which goddess?"
Mayu: "I don't know.. She told me Quinn had the potential to be a God Dungeon while I was in a thing what looked like a grand palace..."
Innver: "A higher Goddess... Quinn really is special. Well now we have 2 existences in his brain not counting THAT one..."
Mayu: "That one?"
Innver: "Look in that corner of the brain."
I look behind me into the corner... What is that...
Innver: "That.. Is what every dungeon has... It's darker self. Well in Quinns mind that part of the dungeon is really weak. The only way it can grow is when he goes into a major depression... It only came into existence when you were slashed apart."
Mayu: "So we also help surpress it?"
Innver: "Yeah. Well let's wait for him to come back to his senses. Quinn is sleeping."
We wait for 7 years till Quinn comes back from his sleep... Me and Innver talked to eachother. Apparently Quinn really has the potential to become a God... Innver also told me that I can have a body again and we can rebuild Quinns core. Innver told me a lot of things what I really liked... I can't wait until I get my body back and live with Quinn again... Well I am living in his brain... I wonder what the slave girl is doing.
