Dimtriv the mad scholar.
CLANK
No one knows what made him what he is, no one knows what made his mind so twisted that demons refuse to make deals with him.
CLANK
He doesn't fight with weapons or magic.
CLANK
But with gasses and poisons that make one cry blood and bleed tears.
CLANK
You don't know what horrors those that couldn't outrun him had to go through, what horrors I had to go through!
CLANK CLANK CLANK
He made drugs and poisons down there that make it seem like nature obeyed him.
CLANK
Bones grew out of eyes hair became teeth and backs became mouths.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
CLANK
Just listen to me.
CLANK
Bite of your tongue and count to ten.
CLANK
You'll be dead by then.
CLANK PLOP
The last words of a flesh abomination which where cried out while it cut itself apart.

The outside.
Bigger than I remember, but oh well guess that comes with being reborn as a strider.
It's a mixed forest ( I'm not gonna bother translating that term, so enjoy 1:1 loser!) with a path leading away from the cave and there's a little hut which seems to be abandoned, further proving my theory of an exhausted salt mine.
The boss man is quite excited about the found building, which is understandable, a building is quite the advantage.
He had a victorious smile and is striding towards it like he owns it. But then a problem showed its face, how to get in?
We're to small to open the door all the windows are closed and it's still in one piece without any withered pieces.
'Come on dimtriv if I find a way in there then the boss man might consider me a friend, which if you're an idiot is a huge boon'
Then I got thinking. Oh, he's becoming frustrated, that's right! We can use his anima!
Firstly I gesture him to follow which he thankfully does and after him the rest of the swarm followed.
After climbing to the roof I confronted the boss man. And just now I noticed how sharp his gaze is, I'm intimidated.
I moved a good amount of anima to give him the right idea. He then used his anima to make the floor softer.
'Could be better'
I used mana to show him how to make the floor softer while making something else harder. A stream that starts at one point goes to the other point and then returns.
He copies it although a bit slopy. And after a while smashes his gauntlet into the ground leaving a hole he then does this a few times until we can crawl through it. He crawls through it and then I follow.
It's a pretty nice hut but don't tell me...
