"Quite an interesting girl isn't she, i wonder if she would cling so much to you if she knew who you really are?" Spoke Lulu as she appeared on top of Tenebris head.
"That doesn't matter, she won't get a chance to know it anyway, is there anything you need?"
"So crude, but yes i have some interesting news for you, it seems you are being watched by someone from the abyss."
"Is that so, do you know who?"
"No, he or she is too powerful for me to see through, but i don't think he or she has any bad intentions, why don't you have a little bit of conversation, it's location is quite near here."
Tenebris continued sitting down, seemingly deep in thought.
"Are you sure they don't have any malicious intent?"
"Yes i'm sure, it's presence was obvious for quite some time, if it had any malicious intent you would be already dead long ago."
"Okay then, let's have a little chat." Spoke Tenebris as he shimmered out.
"Show yourself, you have been watching me for some time, do you have any business with me?" Yelled Tenebris when he entered abyss.
"Hahaha interesting kid, i love it, so full of fighting spirit, so delicious ahh."
There was a voice behind Tenebris, he turned around only to see youth somewhere around 20 years of age standing not too far behind him. He had long white hair tied into a horse tail hanging on his shoulder. His light blue eyes seemed like they pierced though Tenebris as he licked his lips.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?"
"So feisty, i like it and those eyes, so similar, you really are alike. Anyway, no need to be afraid of me, it's like as that annoying brat said, if i wanted you dead you would be already, consider me as of a guide or a quest giver. You can call me Neith, my full name and title are a bit long and boring so i will skip over that."
"You have introduced yourself but i still don't know what do you want from me."
"Ooh i like you more and more, you are my favorite type of toys, such a shame i can't toy with you. Anyway i have a quest for you mercenary, are you willing?"
"You seem to know who i am so i will skip introduction, before accepting don't you think quest details are needed before i can decide?"
"Let me first protect you from abyss before you erode what's left of your soul anyway." As he said that he waved his hand toward Tenebris and what seemed like a transparent barrier appeared around both of them.
"Oh right i almost forgot one thing, hey stupid pixie stop hiding, if you don't show yourself i will clip your wings again."
"Stupid moron..." Spoke Lulu as she appeared on Tenebris shoulder.
"Who are you calling moron, moron. Why don't you just go die already old granny."
"Who are you calling granny stupid brat."
"The one calling me stupid is stupid, stupid..."
"Will both of you stop already, it looks like you two know each other, mind explaining it to me?" Spoke Tenebris.
"I'm sorry but we can't, we are forbidden of talking about some stuff, but it seems this little chicken already talked too much. Lulu, Zizu asked for you so make some time for visit."
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Tell him if it is nothing important i can't go and offer my apologies, as you can see i have this idiot to take care of, is there anything else moron?"
"Who would want anything from you stupid chicken. Just keep your mouth shut and listen, now boy here is the deal, i want to offer a job for you, there are 3 tasks for this quest, completing parts of tasks will grant you bonus XP, completing a task will grant you an additional bonus, completing whole quest will grant you a big reward."
"I'm listening?"
"Task one, kill every boss in this dungeon with a maximum of a week delay in between every boss kill, succeed and each boss kill will grant you a level up for you and your party of 5, and the last boss will give you 3 level ups instead, if someone else kills the boss instead in that time you will have that part of the task completed but you won't get a level up bonus, completing whole task will promote your party of 5 to level 20 immediately."
"Interesting, continue..."
"Task two, catch!" Spoke Neith as he tossed piece of rock to Tenebris. Tenebris turned it over couple of times and saw that that stone was glittering and there was a strange rune inscribed on it.
"What is this?"
"Clan creation stone, i will act as an administrator and accept your clan creation if you do it now, otherwise you will have to do it in a novice village."
"So what is second task?"
"Isn't it obvious? Create and fill up a clan, doing this will grant every part of your clan a part of Spirit equipment set, quality is set but everything else is up to your luck, clan requires a minimum of 5 people, chicken will explain everything else to you, so do you wish to create a clan now?"
"Yes."
"Name your clan then kid and you can later add members."
"Name huh... Crepuscular."
"Interesting, alright i will accept it, now the third task." When he said that he took out a small black gem out of his pocket and gave it to Tenebris.
"This is a special gem, its name is too long for me to bother but what matters is only what it does, it devours parts of souls that are leaving the body of a dead person. Now about your task, collect 10.000 souls, easy right? Your reward will be class evolution if you give it to class administrator in novice village."
"10.000 souls? Are you insane, where will i get that amount of souls?"
"Oh don't worry, even system monsters count, and it doesn't even have to be your kill, you just have to be near an exposed soul to take part of it. Well that's all from me, i will be leaving now, good luck and have fun." Said Neith as he turned around and started walking. "Oh yes and Lulu, he said to keep your mouth shut or else..."
Lulu twitched a little when he heard Neith saying the last part and a small smirk appeared on her face.
"What was that about?" Asked confused Tenebris.
"None of your concern, let's leave abyss now, you have clan to fill now."
