Adam has gotten significantly better at hunting within the four hours since entering the dungeon, able to hold up toe-to-toe or at the very least sword-to-horn with the monsters within the dungeon, thought Sebas while picking up items off of the ground.
Sebas brought his bag around to his front, focusing on the object until text appeared.
[Drawstring Loot-sack: 8x
“Adam! My precious boy! My little brother whom I will love forever! What the fuck did you do in your past to get such an amazing skill!” Sebas exclaimed while reaping the rewards of the beasts within the dungeon.
[Drawstring Loot-sack: 8x
“Little bro…” Adam stated while in a strange trance.
“Come on, there’s got to be a secret, are you the kingdom’s pet project in the case of the 14th demon king appearing? Maybe a strange little guy who is here to rescue those with no money.” Sebas claimed instead of asked, albeit greedily.
“I don’t know nothin’ about the kingdom, I just live here now.” Adam stated matter-of-factly
“Well… as long as you’re here with me, I’ll never get rid of you bud, let’s go get some money!!!” Sebas said while running directly towards the guild’s fort within the dungeon, bag on his back flailing around, Adam having difficulty keeping up due to the difference in

“Hey Mr Merchant, what’s the deal with this little piece of stone, we got it out of a rabbit.” Sebas asked the monster part merchant, whom he neglected asking the name of, like most of the people he has met.
Adam poked several horns of the haul, stating “ow” when he drew blood.
“Well… this here’s a magic stone, condensed mana. I can give you… 6 silver for it.”
Shocked by the sheer size of the offer, Sebas grins and begins to
“What for? What’s a kid like you want with a magic stone?”
“It’s my magic stone-“
“Technically, it’s our-“ Adam began to say before Sebas gripped his mouth with his hand.
“20 Silvers or give it back.”
The merchant sighed, and held the stone up to the light. Looking at the stone and the kid in front of him he scratched his neck and said. “10 silver, no higher.”
With a satisfied grin, Sebas beckoned his hand towards the man, ten shiny silver coins being placed within it.
[Coin Purse: 15S 30C -> 25S 30C]
[Notice. Experience gained,
Sebas hugged Adam excitedly as his mental notification quantified his exploits, telling him exactly how well he was able to use others.
“ADAM!”
“YES!”
“We.”
“We?”
“Have money.” Sebas whispered
“How much?”
“So much… so fucking much.”
“… so do we have to keep hugging?” Adam asked, making Sebas cough sheepishly and release him.
“No, sorry. I’m just excited from… having more money than my entire life put together… we could buy 2 whole gauntlets… or a shield for you… the possibilities.” Sebas said while lifting his lip making mental calculations while his thumb holds up his top lip.
“Does that mean we can go deeper into the dungeon? I don’t like hurting rabbits,” Adam asked.
“Well… not yet… I don’t think we’re ready yet, we both could easily do so if we were both level 10… but…”
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“I’m just a little guy?”
“Precisely, a special little guy, with a cool sword.”
“My sword is pretty cool isn’t it.” Adam said while holding up a bloody blade.
“You should probably keep that thing clean, you don’t want Gis to get on your ass if the blade rusts or the hilt falls off.”
Adam looks at the blade and nods, beginning to carefully wipe rabbit blood off of the blade with his shirt.
“Adam, here’s your cut,” Sebas gives Adam 8 silver and 15 copper, discreetly taking the larger cut. “The merchants around here don’t have much good, but have fun looking around.”
“Where are you going?” Adam asked.
“I gotta go find a Three-horned Rabbit, my dagger needs fixing. Also if you want any cool stuff talk to the blind old man near the anvil, at the back of the merchants corner, he’s strange but he might give you something to do.”
An alien salute came from Adam before Sebas was left alone, a sharp sigh escaped from him as he made his way back out towards the fort exit.
----------------------------------------
The ceiling where water escapes into the dungeon flooded a small lake where horned rabbits come to drink water, a small river flows down past the fort and turned into a favorite spot of Sebas’ since last he visited. The only problem is that it isn’t only his, the rabbits reciprocate the feeling of calm and serenity he gets from being at the spot.
Sneaking through the massive grass stalks, a stalker, Sebas, leers through the strands of straw at 12 total rabbits who hoard his pond.
Distant, around the tip across from the start of the river, right next to a single bush sits a Tri-Horned Rabbit.
“Do these things breed like… well… rabbits? I thought they had some sort of dungeon birth.” Sebas thought to himself.
Looking down at his side bag, the boy focuses on its contents.
[Satchel: 5x “Scharutz? Is that who first discovered these bait berries?” Sebas pulled a single berry out, and flicked it right outside of the brush, the attention or smell caught the attention of two single-horns.The two hares began to fight over the small fruit. “Why do you like these so much?” A diabolical expression came onto Sebas’ face, and he pulled out the thin cable, tying a single berry up to the end of the chain, a single toss of the berry gets the attention of a hare, and like clockwork it goes feral for the berry, running into the brush as the wire with the berry dragged directly into the straw. Sebas grabbed the furry creature by the skull, sinking his teeth into the rabbit’s neck, more blood sinking into his teeth and throat, making him feel disgust, and what could only be described as disorientation. After the wave of nausea passed, he got a faint mental notification from the system. [ ] [Notice: Kill confirmed, Level 1 Horned Rabbit] [Shared Experience Points have been collected] [Skill Experience has been gained.] “I beg your pardon?” [ ] “That’s what I thought you said, but it doesn’t make me feel better.” Sebas sent his line back out into the open plains, within seconds a single rabbit latched onto the berry on the end of the wire, only for its treat to be ripped out of its mouth and flee into the bushes. [Notice: Kill confirmed, Level 1 Horned Rabbit] [Shared Experience Points have been collected] [Skill Experience has been gained.] “This is ridiculously wonderful, I almost feel bad for these little monsters… not enough to feel bad.” ---------------------------------------- [Notice: Perspective Shift; Tri-Horned Rabbit (LV 4)] “Defend the dungeon.” “Defend the dungeon.” “Drink water, defend the dungeon.” “De-… fend… berry?” “Berry?” “Berry?” The large three horned rabbit looks around, seeing a berry just sitting on the ground. “Berry!” The Tri-Horned dungeon monster squeaks. “Why rabbit not eat?” “Where is the rabbit?” The rabbit took a look around, the area to the side of the pond, where half of its troops were, seem to have disappeared. It decided to sniff the area. “Berry…” “Rabbit…” “Blood…?” [Notice: Perspective Shift; Sebas Aren (LV 5)] [Notice: Kill confirmed, Level 1 Horned Rabbit] [+5 Duplicate Notifications] [Shared Experience Points have been collected] [Skill Experience has been gained] [Skill: [Ambush] LV 0 -> LV 1] [Skill: [Bite] LV 2 -> LV 3] [Notice: Party member, Level 2 Adam Rynard has Leveled Up, Level 2 -> Level 3] [Strength UP +1] [Wisdom UP +1] [LootSack: 8x “Perfect, a bonus to today's exploits. I just wish I didn’t get a notification every time Adam leveled up.” Sebas looked up from his bag and met the eye level of a massive three horned rabbit, he covered his mouth, crouching low. “Must want this spare berry.” He thought, before tossing it with a thumb across the topside of the brush next to the water. The rabbit looked back for a moment and seemed to squint at the brush. “Fuck.” Three bright horns shone brightly and slammed through the grass, stabbed through the adventurer within the grass. Dropping his bag, Sebas brandished his blade, a single strike sent a chunk left of his calf off, while one was deflected with his dagger. The other third strike pierced his right shoulder. “Fuck you rat.” He says before stabbing for the beast, only for a clang to be heard as a total of 7 horns shine in his vision. “Fuck you. RATS.” Sebas yells before he rushed away at a rapid pace, Two dual horned rabbits and a trihorn? Yeah right, he would rather eat bricks. Making his way down the hill, he ran away from the encounter, hoping the devilish hares could be defeated by the guild. A flying rabbit slammed directly into his back, while two of the beasts immediately stabbed their horns into his legs. Sebas yelps in pain, a kick went to the beast to his left while he tried to remove the main problem, a whole three horned rabbit that sat directly atop his back, easily eighty to a hundred pounds making his spine creak. [Notice: Health Deteriorating Rapidly.] Three loud thuds sound as Sebas feels sharp pain launch into his back, the tri-horned rabbit trying to remove his spine from his body it would seem. Taking a small gamble, he holds the knife with his right arm, and with a Suddenly, all rabbits charge at Sebas, a change in their attitude forces their hand, something that makes them ravenous and aggressive. The bi-horned rabbits knock him over, destroying his stance, Sebas attempts to kick one of them like a ball but ends up knocked over, where an additional three strikes come up from the tri-horned rabbit. All of the beasts close in on him, the tri-horned rabbit lines up a strike on his head to finish the blow. One of the bi-horned rabbits are killed by something. [Shared Experience Points have been collected] “Adam?” “GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!” Adam yells, kicking the tri-horned rabbit off of Sebas chest, it bounces a few times before skittering to a halt, he becomes interlocked in strife with the other bi-horned rabbit. Bleeding horribly, rabbit blood and his own mixing to paint his lips and neck a shade of crimson, Sebas mutters thanks, coughing up a little blood on his hand. When drinking a potion, Sebas begins to feel the usual burning pain. [ ] “What’s with the blank notifications?” He clutches his chest while throbs and pangs replace his wounds, scars growing atop of him. He picked himself off of the ground and looked over towards the fat rabbit with a dagger in it’s side charging towards him. “Will you be able to fight the bi-horn on your own?” Sebas asked with loud gasp for air in between words “Yeah, I got it bro. Worry about yourself.” “This nerd.. suddenly got a bit cooler, maybe you deserve the strength you were born with Adam.” Sebas says with a sharp toothed smile. Leaning forward, Sebas began to run directly towards the trihorn rabbit, which was charging up another [Multi Strike]+[Horn Attack], while Sebas’ teeth glowed with a dark red light. He held his hands forward, covering his upper body in preparation for the attack, as he couldn’t possibly dodge with how little energy he had. A single horn attack was all that was needed to obliterate one of his arms, and they both shattered into pieces from the third strike, turning into mushy broken appendages. [Shared Experience Points have been collected] Sickening pain flew through his body, rattling his lungs and heart, it felt like a steel ball was launching around inside of him, and he would die the single second he stopped running. Sebas leaped forward, arms flailing behind him, his glowing red jaws grabbed the beast by the face. A sickening crunch followed by a fountain of blood splashing Sebas in the face. [Notice: Kill confirmed, Level 4 Tri-Horned Rabbit] [Shared Experience Points have been collected] [Congratulations] [Level 5 Human -> Level 6 Human] [Access. 5 Stat Points are available for Distribution.] “Adam…” Sebas yells at his party member. “Yes? Do you hurt?” “I want you to do two things.” “Okay!” Adam says excitedly. “Give me a potion out of my satchel, and go get my bag from the top of the hill, next to the lake.” Adam nods and places an uncorked vial in front of Sebas, who bites the tip and tilts his head back. [ ] Adam runs off while Sebas quietly cries, his arms stitching themselves back together thanks to the potions effects, giant holes weaving skin over the open areas. He kicks the blue burning corpse of the tri-horned rabbit towards the other multi-horned rabbit corpses are, and plops down to the ground sitting while waiting for Adam’s (Looter) to give him the perfect materials for a new dagger.
