"Genesis Synch"

After John left the lab with Alea they walked around the palace for a bit just enjoying each other's company as the spoke only now and then before Alea told John he should return to Genesis as Sarah had arrived in Thamethalas and she and Black Dragoon where waiting on him to start the dungeon, she also mentioned that she had Sarah stock up on potions for John and she would hand them over when they met up in the dungeon.

"Welcome Back to Genesis, cool-down times remaining:]

[Guidance Cooldown: 2 Days 17 Hours 25 minutes 38 Seconds]

[Daratrine's Balance Cooldown: 6 Days 17 Hours 59 minutes 52 Seconds]

After John logged back in, he saw the remaining cool-downs on the two skills he used earlier in the day.

John looked around and found himself still in the cage, however he had reverted back to his human form after he logged out, so it was a good thing the bandits did not bother to leave anyone to watch over the animals.

As John appeared the nearby animals were all startled to see a human in one of the cages so they started to talk to one another without realizing John could understand.

"Why is that human in a cage?" A Boar asked.

"Maybe he did something to upset the other bastard two legs and got himself locked up." A rabbit said.

"Who cares if a human is killed or punished, not like he is going to help us." A deer said.

"Umm I can understand you, you know." John replied, making the animals all go quiet for a second before the rabbit said.

"Don't trust the guy, he is just trying to trick us." The rabbit claimed.

"No, I'm not." John replied.

"Yeah, you are." The rabbit adamantly said.

"Nope really not."

"Ok prove it, I'm about to say something so repeat it back to us so we know it's the truth." The rabbit challenged John before saying something.

After the rabbit spoke all the other animals complained.

"Rabbit, that's disgusting."

"Shit rabbit what is wrong with you."

John frowned before saying.

"Look rabbit, what you get up to with your own sisters when no one is around is up to you, however I would appreciate it if you don't give us all the details about your rabbit sex life ok?"

The animals went quiet again before they spoke.

"Shit he can understand us."

"What the fuck human bro how can you understand us."

"Bro, can you help us escape from here?"

"Yeah bro help a brother rabbit out"

John rolled his eyes at the rabbit's shamelessness before replying.

"I already planned to set you all free but first I need to summon some friends over to help and then I need you to answer a couple of questions."

"No problem, bro, we can answer whatever you need to get out of here, I can even teach you how to satisfy your women like a rabbit if you want." Rabbit offered.

"Thanks, but I will pass on the last part." John said before he examined his cage.

It was fairly simple with an easy to undo lock if you had fingers but impossible if you didn't have them.

After unlocking the cage, he climbed out and stretched before looking around for the summoning stone.

It turned out to be a large obelisk type structure with a strange swirling symbol that was leaning against the wall his cage was against.

"Inspect"

"What are you inspecting bro?" The rabbit asked before saying.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Don't bother with that hunk of rock bro, it just stands there and glows at night."

[A Dungeon Summoning Stone that is used by a player to summon other players from his friends list as long as they are equal to or less than the party and level limit criteria of the dungeon.]

[Party limit: 5]

[Level: 20]

"Do you wish to use the summoning stone?"]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes"

"Yes, to what bro? You feeling ok bro? you keep saying random things out loud." The rabbit spoke up again.

"Shut up rabbit, he is obviously busy." The deer said.

"Oi I'm only trying to be helpful so we can all get out of here faster." The rabbit replied.

[List of friends that fit the dungeon level limit criteria will be displayed, please select up to four people to join you.]

[Ice Blue Queen]

[Black Dragoon]

"Summon Ice Blue Queen and Black Dragoon." John said.

"Bro what..." The rabbit was about to say something but stopped speaking when he along with all the other animals saw two teleportation magic circles appear on the ground and a moment later a young human women with long ice blue hair wearing a robe and a young draconian women with long black hair wearing mail armor appeared in the center of the two magic circles.

"About time Vincarna, you sure kept us waiting." Black Dragoon, who was in her regular human form and not showing any dragon parts, complained after arriving.

"Sorry I was having my checkup done and it only just finished." John replied as the angry look on Black Dragoon faded before she softly asked.

"Everything ok, it's nothing serious, is it?"

"No, it's fine." John said.

"It's up to you if you want to tell Vulxis or not John, however myself and Alea already informed her of your name and that you're the Human from the racial punishment announcement."

"I see." John said before turning to Black Dragoon.

"I guess introductions are in order, as you know my name is John it's a pleasure to meet you again, I did not realize you are a friend of Alea and Sarah."

"Nice to meet you as well John, my name is Vulxis." Vulxis replied with a smile.

"As for my checkup it's because I was poisoned from the Mk VI access band, though it should all be gone in a few days."

"Ah I see well that's good news." Vulxis said.

"I'm glad it will be gone soon." Sarah agreed.

"Wait bro you were poisoned? who did it, this rabbit will gather his family and get vengeance for you."

John turned to look at the rabbit before saying.

"Rabbit calm down ok, vengeance has already been served."

The two girls looked at John in a strange way before Sarah asked.

"Err John, why were you talking to that rabbit about vengeance?"

"Oh, right I guess you can't understand them, you see the rabbit just said he would get his family and go get vengeance for me on those who poisoned me."

"Wait, you can understand them?" Vulxis asked as she and Sarah showed surprised looks on their faces.

"Yeah, I can, hang on, I thought Draconian could also talk to animals?" John asked back.

"Not young a Draconian like me." Vulxis said before explaining.

"As we are related to Dragons, we unlock more skills and abilities as we grow older, if we were to get everything straight away our bodies would explode, because of that we don't get something new until we have learnt the last thing we unlocked."

"For example, right now I am learning how to control what parts of my body my scales cover, when we first get this skill, it is either all our body or none of it, however with practice we could choose just the head or just the right hand or both."

John nodded in understanding before saying.

"Sounds impressive and hard."

"It just takes time and effort like most things in life." Vulxis replied with a proud smile before asking.

"How did you learn to speak to animals?"

"Oh, that's because I'm a Druid and Ursa Minor gave me the skill." John replied as the girls once again showed shocked looks however this time their mouths fell agape with shock.

Seeing their reactions John smiled before saying.

"I guess Alea did not tell you."

"She did not." They both replied before Sarah looked at Vulxis and spoke.

"Vulxis we need to have words with Alea later."

"Agreed." Vulxis said with a nod.

"So, you're the one in the global announcement about being the first player to get a class that was until now a racial exclusive?" Sarah asked.

"That was me." John said with a smile.

"Do you already have your first Wild Morph?" Vulxis asked with interest as they both knew from Alea how hard it was to gain Wild Morph abilities from animals."

"Yeah, I can transform into a bear." John replied.

"Not bad, I am sure Alea told you how many Druids still don't have their first after playing for a long time." Vulxis said with an impressed look.

"So, John, are you going to invite us to your party and lead us through this dungeon you found?" Sarah asked with excitement.

"Err how do I invite people.... actually, I think it's better if you lead Sarah." John said.

"Oh why? You found this dungeon." Sarah asked with curiosity.

"Because I have never done a dungeon before and I don't know what to expect or how to run one as a team let alone a leader, you have had a rebirth, and you did dungeons with Silver Serpent in the past, so I expect you have experience in leading them."

Sarah's smile faltered slightly when John said Silver Serpent but returned after a moment and she said.

"You're right I do have experience, ok if it's fine with both of you I will lead."

"No problem, I need to learn about dungeons also since this will be my first as well." Vulxis said.

"Ok let me first explain how to make a party... actually before that John."
