Amelia PoV:
Before I get started with what I’m planning on doing, let’s get to summoning sappers! Because this floor desperately needs them. First off, I’m gonna summon an Austrian sapper at the townhall, and it looks like the Austro-Ottoman force is hastily rebuilding their barricades, but it could be so much better, with a sapper.
Uhh let’s see, creature limit.

Interesting, but I don’t see them in the creature list, maybe I just gotta think about them? Wait before I do so, I gotta check how much mana I’ve got.

Nice I gained xp and my mana is full, hopefully I can afford two sappers, alright here we go, one sapper please! Specifically an Austrian Sapper.
A figure began to materialize in front of the Town Hall steps, she wore a white coat with blue lapels and cuffs and white trousers tucked inside knee length black boots, alongside a brown chest height apron, to top it off she’s wearing the same helmet that the Infantry Regiment Nr.1 wore. Lastly she wore white gloves.
Hmm yeah she’s great, especially with that axe she’s currently wielding, but before I unleash her, I’m gonna add one extra piece of equipment to her kit. On her backpack, or knapsack if we’re gonna be technical, I’m gonna attach a shovel on the left, this should help with creating earthworks.
I’m gonna call her Franziska. And with that done, the final cost is around 125 mana, oh yeah I’ve got plenty of mana left for a second sapper.
Anyways Franziska was released from her stasis, in which she scanned her surroundings, and sprung into action bellowing out a mighty warcry and chopped the heads of two zombies clean off, freeing an Ottoman soldier who was previously grappled by them.
Heading to the barracks courtyard, I’m gonna copy paste my custom regiment and create a Moon Elf sapper, except she will have a gray apron as part of her attire. After paying 125 mana, a Moon Elf girl materialized in the middle of the courtyard wielding an axe, unmoving.
Hmm, what shall I call her? Oh I know! I’ll call her Yrneha, and release! Just like with Franziska, she scanned her surroundings, before making a mad dash toward the gate, specifically the weakening barricade.
Alright I’ve finished what I wanted to do, now what? Speaking of, I believe Halloween is right around the corner, I should do something special when the day comes. Do people in this universe even celebrate Halloween? Or is there like an Halloween adjacent tradition that people celebrate her? Huh well regardless I’m gonna celebrate it in my own way, maybe not putting decorations, good lord that’s gonna be mana intensive.
I mean I AM on a zombie themed floor, so why not celebrate it here by surviving as many waves as I can, yeah and just to make it more challenging I’ll do it by the town hall, you know cause there's no perimeter walls like the barracks. This is gonna be so much fun, I’m feeling very giddy right now and I haven’t even started!
Oh perfect timing Karland sent me a message, I had just finished a very simple endless system, I’ll work on refining it later, but for right now it’ll do.
I Pulled up my menu screen, oh I didn’t even notice the bell icon at the top right. Pressing it, and I’m taken to the chat interface.
Kar_87: I’m outside with some friends met them a week after I met you! anyways where you at?
Amelia Yokakko: *edited* Hey that's graete great! Happy that you made more firnds friends and yes I’m on my third floor why?
Kar_87: Yup oh and Hang on I'm gonna add you to a group chat with my friends talk to you there
Wait what, man I didn’t know group chats existed, this just proves how lacking I am in the social media department.
Oh I see a new tab conveniently labeled ‘Group Chats’ I press and the first gc I see Is titled ‘Deep Sea Merkin Where?!?!?!?!’ With five people in it, one of them being me
Uhh was the sole reason for this gc’s creation just to talk about Mayna? That’s kinda weird not gonna lie… Well, let’s go see what they say.
Sockpuppet: So this her? @Kar_87?
Kar_87: Yep!
Realtor51: So remind me again why are we talking on this group chat when we’re all outside physically together?
Kar_87: So that we can talk to @Amelia Yokakko
Welp I’ve been pinged looks like now is as good as time to chime in.
Amelia Yokakko: err hi um why are ya’ll outside my dungeon?
Sockpuppet: Cmon spill the beans where's that Merkin you allegedly have!
Amelia Yokakko: omg, fine here
Sent picture of Mayna
Yes I renamed the file, just for me to easily locate it as opposed to something generic.
Sockpuppet: WHOA no way man I wouldn’t have believed this if it didn’t come from a dungeon! I wanna see her!!!
Amelia Yokakko: Oh hell no not if you're just gonna bother her endlessly then I’m not letting you near her
Sockpuppet: What WHY
Guardian: Ember just give it up this is Amelia’s dungeon and besides we already got what we came for
Sockpuppet: ;(
Guardian: Amelia I am sorry about our friend here she can be a little excitable when it comes to topics she’s interested in
Kar_87: Agreed, well it's time for us to head back I just wanted to show my friends about that Deep Sea Merkin
Amelia Yokakko: WAIT! Don’t go just yet come inside I’ll teleport ya’ll to my third floor I was just about to set up a challenge and it’ll be better with friends!
Kar_87: Ooooooo, well guys let’s head inside and see what my friend is cooking!
I smiled, as I felt the presence of four dungeon avatars entering the first floor, I floated over to the town hall, manifested my avatar, startling an unfortunate Austrian who witnessed me materialize in front of her.
Fortunately I didn’t get hit, um anyways I snapped my fingers and four figures appeared in front of me. Nobody got startled this time. So the four people standing in front of me, forming a , uhh let’s see, Karland hasn’t changed since the last time I saw her. “Hey, I assume that all of you know my name but may you introduce yourselves?”
A man with short brown hair and handlebar mustache, wearing this clean black and white checkered tuxedo with a similarly patterned top hat. He stepped forward, removed his tophat and curtsied, before putting it back on. “Mortals have referred to me as the Oblivion Guardian Dungeon, but please call me Guardian.”
A girl with blue and red eyes as well as silver hair styled into twin pigtails stood before me, wearing half a black shirt that revealed her midriff or something like that. She also paired it with a short leather jacket and a black pleated leather skirt. Completing her look were thigh-high stockings and gold heels. “Hi! My name is Ember Crucible I go by Sockpuppet on the group chat, but please call me Ember. Oh my gosh it’s SO nice to finally meet you! Karland talked about you, a lot.”
Eek! I didn’t even fully register what she said, cause she said it all so fast, and the fact that she zoomed right up to my face. She’s smiling, unnaturally wide, and I swear I could see stars forming in her eyes.
“Whoa, too close - ack!” I was engulfed in a very tight hug, I struggled feebly to escape but her grip is just too strong!
Next thing I know is Ember is encased in a dark-blue and she’s lifted into air as she flails around, in a vain attempt to break free. “Hey! Let me go, I did nothing wrong… at least not this time.” The perpetrator in question doesn’t look, um how do I say this? Is that they don’t look uh fleshy? More like a tall humanoid rock person. Man what's the word, It’s somewhere in my brain, ah! A lithoid, that’s right that person looks like a lithoid from that space game my younger sister loves to play so much.
“Hold on wait a minute, Ember, what do you mean by ‘not this time’?” I asked, narrowing my eyes as I probed the girl for answers.
Ember stops flailing around, begins to look nervous “Um well uhh you see.”
“Basically what happened was that five days ago, Ember over here burnt down the forest surrounding her dungeon which spread to a nearby town.” The Lithoid person interjected.
Oh my god this girl’s a liability! And not just a liability but an arsonist! I fear for the people residing in the settlement that’s literally right outside my door… their mental health that is.
Ember’s face went bright red, “It was an accident!” She snapped back. “And will you put me down!”
Well no sooner after she said that, the embarrassed girl was placed right back on the ground right next to the Lithoid person.
“If I may add,” Guardian said joining in the conversation, “She had this look of pure bliss and ecstasy while the blazing inferno was raging, it’s truly a miracle that nobody got hurt, not that anyone was gonna get hurt anyways, well asides from that poor adventurer party that had just entered her dungeon right when the fire started, they were unlucky enough to be immediately burnt to a crisp upon entry. Fortunately nothing bad happened to the forest and everyone else in the town and inside the forest when flames began. Well nothing that’s physical at least.”
“Oh yeah, I remember now, yeah after that incident the locals of that town nicknamed her quote ‘the Dungeon of Arsonism’ which honestly is pretty funny.” Karland added.
Oh wow now even Karland is joining in, aaand the girl’s already red face, became even more brighter. And man that is so devious and straight foul, man I hope I get such an equally foul nickname!
“I swear I’m a normal dungeon! I just love fire, that's all!” Ember shouted, desperate to clear her name, but all she received was a mix of disapproving glances and a giggle from Karland.
“Okay guys we’re getting sidetracked here.” I said, attempting to redirect the conversation back to the original topic. “Now if our dear friend next to Ember can introduce themself, then we can continue with what I’ve got planned!”
Then the Lithoid stepped forward much to Ember’s relief “Right, my name is Solitude, I go by Realtor in the dungeon chat, it's a pleasure to meet you in person. And yes my appearance is that of a Stone Golem.”
“And it’s a pleasure to meet all of you!” I said, I was about to continue when I received a tap on my left shoulder. Turning to face the, well the tapper, I find that it’s an Austrian soldier, staring at me with a stern face.
She saluted, then spoke. “Ma’am the defenses are ready, I suggest you and your companions come to the town hall before the cannibals arrive.”
After the girl relayed that bit of information to me, she saluted and sprinted back towards town hall. I turned back to see shocked expressions from all three, minus Solitude. Why is Karland shocked? She literally interacted with two of my creatures!
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, I am truly puzzled, I mean yeah sure I don’t have the standard fantasy dungeon monsters, but like everyone is so surprised when they come here for the first time.
Ember zipped right onto my face, grabbing hold of my coat, and she began violently shaking me,“What’s wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?! WHY DO YOU HAVE HUMANS AS DUNGEON CREATURES! DEEP SEA MERKINS IS ONE THING, BUT HUMANS HOW!”
First of all, ouch my ears, holy smokes, second of all, ugh I think I’m gonna puke… fortunately she let go of me, causing me to stumble for a bit, but I very quickly corrected my balance.
“I don’t understand? I mean sure my arsenal is a bit unorthodox but I seriously don’t think it’s such a big deal.” I responded.
Karland recovered from her stupor “Wow I honestly should’ve known that Jeannette and Earalyn were your dungeon creatures, the signs were all there, I even felt dungeon magic radiating off of them.” She said, “I guess it had slipped my mind, due to me being overly excited at the prospect of meeting my first friend.”
Guardian approached hands behind his back as Ember was forcefully levitated away as she screamed curses and profanities that I’d rather not divulge, I’m sure another PoV will provide a detailed account of the things Ember said…
What was I saying? Oh right Guardian is speaking, I should focus on listening.
“Yes indeed the prospects of having sapients as dungeon creatures, is an incredible rarity among dungeons, which is to say, only limited to monsters that can attain sapience” Guardian explained, “But Humans as dungeon creatures? Nope practically unheard of.”
So what I’m hearing is that I’m unique? That's I mean yeah, I understand that part, are there any other dungeons that have musket wielding enemy encounters? Nope I don’t think so!
I was about to continue speaking when in the sky I saw an interface that said ‘WAVE: 1’ oh snap, the initial grace period ended and the wave had started. It seemed like I wasn’t the only one that saw it, as everyone was staring at the skies.
“Guys, no time to explain! I’ve invited you guys to see how long we can last against an increasing wave of undead or as I like to call them cannibals an- KARLAND BEHIND YOU!” My frantic explanation was cut off as three my saber at a shambling cannibal about to strike Karland.
Uhh I missed it entirely, but fortunately Karland whipped behind her just in time to dropkick the cannibal. And my saber reappeared inside the scabbard.
Ember beamed at two cannibals slowly approaching her, “Ooooooo I’ll cremate the already undead dead!”
Uhh I don’t like that deranged smile Ember has, and she incinerated both cannibals all while laughing maniacally…
With those two gone, wave one ends and there’s a twenty second cool down before the next wave. “Guys follow me to the town hall NOW, we’re completely sitting ducks and it’ll only get harder from here.”
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Amelia PoV:
Wave four just ended with relative ease, though I suspect a new type will appear at wave five and the difficulty spiking at wave ten, so far the defenses are holding and by now my four guests have understood the objective and have taken positions around the town hall, with me and my musket holding the town hall entrance as the cannon crew worked round-the-clock in loading and firing the cannon, of course I specifically instructed them to strictly use canistershot.
At one point I had to tackle a charging Ottoman out of the way as she would’ve been incinerated alongside the cannibals by Ember who’s going around recklessly using her fire spells. Both Guardian and Solitude are holding the western side of the courtyard. Guardian’s sharp throwing cards sliced through shamblers with ease, while Solitude's spikes were very good for crowd control. Karland is located on the eastern side of the courtyard, she’s demolishing cannibals with incredible ease dual wielding short swords and occasionally firing a spell or two. All in all we haven’t lost anyone.
Oh yep here comes the runners, and they tackled the Nr.1’s flag bearer, and she’s done for as another runner joined, and are hidden behind a crowd of shamblers. They were all burnt as I heard deranged and gleeful giggles coming out of Ember as everyone hit burnt to literal ash. She also unintentionally burnt two soldiers who were rushing to save the flag bearer.
MY GOD EMBER IS UNHINGED! SHE’S WAY MORE DANGEROUS TO US THAN SHE IS TO THE ZOMBIES!!!!
Fortunately the wave ended, giving me the breathing room I needed to scold that arsonist for team killing, even if one of them was most likely a goner.
I inhaled a mouthful of air then screamed at the top of my lungs “EMBER, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!” Which earned a yelp from Ember and within seconds rushed over to me.
“Um Yes Ma’am!” Ember stiffened, and offered a salute.
I walked right up close to her face, she offered me a nervous smile, “WATCH WHERE YOU THROW YOUR FIRE SPELLS YOU JUST KILLED TWO OF MY GUYS!”
“Hehe oops?” Ember faltered, looking more fearful for her life with each passing second and throwing on a strained smile.
I facepalmed, “Look just don’t hit one my guys again, or I’m gonna enjoy watching you survive on your own.”
“Eep!” And there she goes sprinting away, as wave six has starts, welp time to get ready, I’m pretty sure the difficulty will spike from here on out. Man where’s that artillery support?
I heard a massive explosion and bore witness to Karland’s lifeless body land just a few meters away from the cannon, and omg ew there's some decayed guts next to her.
“Bloaters Incoming!” I heard another explosion and this time chunks of solid rock flew everywhere, and I wasn’t paying attention so I got hit in the stomach.
On a second note, I was hoping we wouldn’t meet bloaters till much later, since I made the spawning of new zombie types random after runners were introduced, naturally there’s also a chance that nobody new shows up.
Owch… man this is getting ridiculous, “Everyone fall back to the cannon and for god’s sake STOP MELEEING THE BLOATERS!”
Simultaneously both Karland and Solitude appeared in the air encased in an invisible box, granting them a great view of the, well I suppose the play area, both have the number five above their heads, wow there's even a leaderboard floating next alongside them.
Well time to kill some zeds! I mean cannibals, I mean- you know what just forget it.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Amelia PoV:
A couple more bloater explosions later and two more waves later, and the zombie sappers being introduced in the last wave.
Guys it’s not looking good, half our team is down, partially due to the fault of ACHEM, a certain someone. Franziska being the only Sapper is struggling to build new barricades as they get instantly destroyed by bloaters, if not them then a huge horde. Chat are we cooked?
Man I didn’t expect the difficulty to get THIS hard, especially at such an early wave, yeah after this I’m going to have to make tweaks cause the amount of zombies spawning this early is frankly ridiculous.
Okay so side tangent this is a lot of fun, and I’m one hundred percent replacing my current alternative to this one. But right now I’ve got more important things to worry about, as I see cannibals approaching, wave nine has begun.
“Everyone retreat inside the town hall! We’re not gonna last long outside.” I ordered, “I’ll hold them off, buy enough time for Franziska to construct barricades inside, oh and Ember try not burn down the town hall!”
I slung my musket over my shoulder and unsheathed my saber, I charged at a huge horde of zombies, sliced one in half and kicked another, knocking them on the ground. Then the group of cannibals was pushed to the sides and in the middle stood an undead French sapper… Its uniform was torn and tattered with blood soaking Its previously white gloves and on Its apron. Raising Its equally blood soaked axe, the cannibal swung, and I barely managed to parry the strike. I countered by lunging forward, and I managed to slash it on its left thigh. Tch, no good I’m gonna need to cause more damage before It goes down, but I have to be careful as one strike and I’m as good as dead.
The zombie sapper let out a roar, as more zombies closed in on me, well lads surviving till wave eight, not bad for a newbie attempt, though I would’ve preferred to survive long- why am I hearing giggling? Soon after I heard the giggle a literal tsunami of fire appeared, engulfing the growing horde and disappearing just as quickly as it appeared, leaving nothing but ash in the aftermath.
Suddenly Ember revealed herself next to me, smirking smoke emitted from her hands..
I turned to Ember, hands on her hips. “Thanks, I thought that I would’ve been a goner.” I said, flashing her a grateful smile. “No way I would’ve been able to take on that horde and a sapper by myself.”
Huh no more zombies are spawning guess the wave ended, “Has everyone retreated inside?” I asked.
Ember gave an affirmative nod, “mhm, everyone but you and me, Guardian is on the second floor, in one of the rooms with that tiny cannon pointing out. It’s unfortunate that we lost three teammates.”
“I see… well let’s not stay out, those runners are really nasty with the surprises.” I said, picking up my saber and sprinting inside the town hall, Ember not far behind me.
And just in time too, I heard growling behind us marking the start of wave ten. The moment we entered, an Ottoman soldier, yatagan sword in hand, shut the door, as two Austrians pushed an empty wine cabinet.
“Milady and Ember, the second floor this cabinet won’t hold forever.” The first Austrian soldier strained holding the cabinet as the pounding on the door gets stronger and louder.
“Right.” I responded with a swift nod, before making my way up the stairs, and right on cue I heard heavy pounding on the door and- OH MY GOD THERE'S AN AXE HEAD THROUGH THE DOOR.
The door smashed open, knocking the cabinet down, and a horde of cannibals rushed inside, a cannibal grabbed hold of the second Austrian soldier’s left leg, knocking her to ground before she could set foot on the stairs. Seconds later the poor girl was dragged screaming outside. Yep she’s dead.
By now the four of us had reached the second floor with the cannibals not too far behind us. “Guh they’re still behind us open fire.”
Greta appeared, at the top of the stairs “You four get down now!”
I obliged and hit the floor, not a moment to soon as something fell on top of the stairs and rolled down, followed by crunching noises.
BOOM!
The building shook from the shockwave, as whatever exploded caused a chain reaction of what I presume to be bloater explosions that was fortunate enough to be in the blast radius.
I stood up, dusted my trousers, “What was that?” I asked while I approached Greta.
The officer saluted, “Powder barrel with a lit fuse, but ma’am don’t celebrate just yet there’s more approaching, soon.”
“Oh well, that’s nice, where’s Ceyiz? Haven’t seen her in a while.”
“She’s guarding the cellar, or some call it the basement.” Greta responded, she was about to continue when the Nr.1’s fifer frantically arrived.
“Ma’am’s more cannibals approaching and fast!” She said in between breaths.
Greta drew her pistol, as I unsheathed my saber. “Franziska’s barricade won't last long, paired with the fact that she perished outside. And while the stairwell makes a good choke point we’re too few in numbers to effectively hold it, fortunately there’s a room with two swivel guns inside. There we can make our last stand.” She plainly stated.
“I agree.” I said, then turning behind me to face Ember, who’s been quiet this whole time. “Ember you coming?”
She shook her head before giving this erm smile… I don’t know how to describe it except that it's unsettling and way too gleeful…
“No, I’ve got undead to fry~” The arsonist responded, that smile unfaltering. I think that the Austrian soldier behind her is visibly shaking like a leaf when she caught a glimpse of that smile... I think, it could be the combination of both her and the zombies cannibals.
I don’t even know what to say in response. “Uhh yeah sure just try not to burn the building.”
“Hehe, no promises~” She giggled, "Now shoo, you four get into that room now!"
Good lord, I’m actually starting to feel so very bad for the cannibals right now… Anyways three of us hurried ourselves into said room and shut the door behind us, while the fifer stayed and another soldier stayed behind and assist Ember. I can now hear what sounds like a flamethrower and her devious laughter.
“How many of us are here?” I asked, turning to Greta. "Also where's Franziska?"
“About eleven excluding myself, and you, three of which are out on the balcony including that strange gentleman with the suit of black and white. And Franziska is in the Basement with Ceyiz" Greta answered, all while Ember was in the background laughing maniacally accompanied by again the sound of a flamethrower. Then it stopped abruptly. YO WHY IS IT SILENT ALL OF A SUDDEN!
“EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THE DOOR!” I shouted, to which everyone frantically overturned whatever piece of furniture around and hid behind them.
I quickly rushed to an overturned table on the left side of the room alongside an Ottoman who’s missing her Fez cap and hid behind it.
The room was silent save for the firing of the swivel gun which was positioned by the window facing outside and the crackle of musket fire by soldiers on the balcony. An hour passes without a hint of sound beyond the door. I took a peek at the wave counter and my eyes almost popped out when I saw that we’ve reached wave seventeen, man Ember is doing work that I barely even register the grace period between each wave… The fact that it’s silent out there means that Ember perished at some point in the last wave.
I turn to my companion sitting beside me, I can tell that she’s nervous, she's even shaking just a tiny bit. “Hey, I can see that you're scared, I am too, we all are.”
She turns to face, with a look of fear in her eyes, “Forgive me great Sultana, for I am fearful of my life, as I’ve never seen the cannibals this ruthless.” She frowns, “The longest I’ve fought against them is thirty minutes.”
I lay a hand on her shoulder, “It’s gonna be alright, we’ll make it through, and if not? Well at least we’ve killed hundreds, maybe even thousands before we perished.” I smiled, trying to reassure the girl, who still looks uncertain, but at least she’s no longer shaking like a leaf!
Boom!
The door flung open, forcing everyone to duck behind cover, as a horde came pouring inside, “Everyone, fire at will!” Greta ordered, as we fired a volley, alongside the swivel gun loaded with canister shot fired, and we shredding the oncoming horde. However it was a futile effort as more kept pouring in, eventually getting to the point where nobody had the time to reload and had devolved into an intense melee.
By now I decided to ditch my musket and unsheathed my saber as I locked eyes with an oncoming French Cuirassier... It's a zombie cannibal Cuirassier to um be more specific, but anyways the walking rotting corpse vaulted over the table, but I effortlessly chopped off it's head and it went down like a uhh sack? Okay nevermind...
“Bloater incoming!”
Oh no, exactly the type I don’t want to fight! Especially in a small crowded enclosed space such as this room. Uhh this is really bad and- The Bloater exploded the moment it made contact with a splinter from what was once the door. Fortunately it was still the entrance, unfortunately the explosion damaged the swivel gun and Franziska isn’t here to repair it.
Nobody here is using a Blunderbuss, not even a Nockgun, alright lads we’re not making it past this round, gg well played RNGsus. Just to rub even more salt on an already large gash, another bloater arrived. Causing the few of us still alive to back, as I aimed my musket at the approaching bloater.
I pressed the trigger and fired at the bloater now halfway in the room, killing it and also destroying our cover in the process. At least it killed all the other cannibals nearby.
By now Guardian and the other two from the balcony had finally entered, “Hey guys, y'all just missed the party!” I said.
Our talk was cut short as a mass of cannibals ran into the room and- and oh snap! It’s a horde of runners sprinting full speed towards us. I think about one or two of us reacted fast enough to shoot.
Soon I found myself outside the town hall, alongside everyone and the map also reset. “Yippeee! That was fun, let's do it again sometime!” Ember exclaimed. I swear I could see stars in the girl’s eye.
“I admit those, how shall I say… fat zombies caught me by surprise when they exploded next to me.” Solitude said, wincing or whatever the equivalent of a wince is that a Stone Golem could make.
I nodded, “yep, those are no joke, and I designed them to be insta kills, so far nobody has survived a bloater explosion.
“You know Amelia, despite this rather unorthodox floor, I admit killing undead is strangely… therapeutic?” Guardian said, “Yes that's right, therapeutic, especially if I picture them as annoying outsiders who are just insufferable.”
The other three let out a collective groan, “Um what? I asked, clearly I would like context please, I mean yeah there’s always those people who are gonna be rude no matter what… well, aside from those literally trying to kill me that is.
“Oh you sweet sweet summerchild Amelia you, so innocent ignorance is truly a bliss.” Karland said, walking up to me then wrapped an arm around my shoulders. “You’ll know when you meet them, and I’m not talking about those people trying kill you, no they’re far worse.”
“Uhhhh, o-kay.” I responded, with a hint of confusion, which earned a chuckle from Karland, as she separated herself from me and rejoined with the other three.
“Well guys, I had a lot of fun, thank you see you around sometime in the future!” I smiled, waving them goodbye, as one by one they teleported leaving Ember for last.
“Oh by the way if you find yourself in Ergon, then swing by in the southwestern part of the country near the town of Ponsca which is near the Laziran border town of Okarin, you’ll find Guardian, and I nearby while Solitude is a bit further away near the town of Brecherton just north of Ponsca.” Ember said, smiling.
“Alright, will do!”
She waved, before snapping her fingers and teleported away. Now my next order of business is tweaking endless and especially finding out why there was no artillery support.
