I look toward the area Bruce tells me a visitor came from and saw a man in white robes and a lot of charms and necklaces. “Dungeon is level two and is already self aware, it appears it’s noticed me but now is not the time for small talk.” The man spoke to no one in particular, he looks toward the house that held the kids, “the core is being held inside the house, I will need to enter to find it exactly, the dungeon is still in its infancy and should be easily influenced. This will be perfect for what is needed.” He- he can see my core?!

This isn’t good at all, there no way in letting the kids near this guy, but I can send a couple avatars at him, Luna, widow, chase him off, no killing. My avatars spring into actions, eager for a fight. The man waves his arm and luna and widow both stop instantly as if they ran into a wall. “Now now little dungeon, no need for hostilities, after all I am the whole reason you exist in the first place. I’ll be seeing you again soon, and we’ll be having a nice, long, talk” with a smile that made me shudder he left and I felt dread well up in me. I don’t know who he was but I can guess he’s from some sort of church judging by the charms, there wasn’t a crucifix or anything but it all looked holy somehow.

I don’t know what to do and that’s not good, what did he mean he’s the only reason I exist? Where was he from? What does he want? I need answers, Tiara, tell Tommy and James I need them to go to town for me, we need help, we need Anderson. She nods and hops up to get them. I meanwhile focus on what I do best, upgrading.

Before I know it almost all of my Shawnee’s are upgraded, all of my foxes are now capable of magic to some degree and my avatars are stronger now, Bruce seems to be able to use some sort of sound magic to deafen people. But I need them all to be stronger still. I focus closer on the avatars alone, Panzer first since he was my first avatar. Oh, evolve? What would he even evolve to? Do I get to choose or does he? Well only way to find out. Accept.

“Panzer has evolved into ‘Rat Paladin’.” Who is that? My system never spoke before? “I am your system and after your last visitor I believe you may need my assistance.” Ok this could be cool, what can you do? “Almost anything you need me to, until you learn how to freely control your mana, I will be your assistant.” So I think I need to give you a name, “unnecessary, system is adequate.” Well I don’t want to just call you system, so if you can do anything why not just call you… Kami? “The fucks a kami?” Basically god? “But I’m right here?” Great he’s a smart ass too. Now that that reference is over, wait, did you understand that reference Kami? “I know what you know, you just have the imagination, I organize the information.”

Okay so now let’s get this straight, I am going to have to fight the church, “it is very probable yes” my system can talk and is a smart ass, “rude but correct” and I still don’t know what to do, “correct”. Thanks, great confidence booster. “You’re welcome” ugh this is going to get old soon, “with you being a dungeon and me a system neither of us will actually age” I figured that might be the case, but that’s not what I meant, whatever let’s get things moving in here. What is my next expansion going to cost and what will I gain exactly?

“This I how much your next expansion will cost as well as the area that will be taken over by the dungeon.” A map appeared with a general outline of the town and the forest nearby showing in blue the areas I had and in green the area I would gain. The mana cost was immense but so was the area I would obtain, I needed to consult someone about this before I did anything but before even that, I need to talk to Anderson.
