“Aghh, what have you done master?” Bob said, seemingly infuriated, showing signs of emotion, something that Matt had never known him to do in all the time that he had known him. “I thought we agreed that you would select the creature or Trent archetype, not the bug archetype!”
“No, I only said that I would consider it, I never actually agreed to anything, And consider I did,” Matt said, him having spent many restless nights in thought, considering all of the choices Bob brought before him, only to finally come to the realization that despite everything else, despite the benefits of the others, despite all the bug's weaknessess, that he just loved the little bugger's far too more not to chose them. “So yes I selected the bugs so what? Sue me!”
“But master, there so weak. You do realise that right?”
“Yes, but so what, it was my decision to make and I’ve made it, And now I’ll just have to live with it, consequences be dammed' ', Matt said awaiting Bob’s response with open arms only for Bob to say nothing, Matt eagerly returning to his work after anther few short moments of this.

‘Hmm, what should I create first’, Matt thought, slightly surprised and a bit amazed if he was to be honest as he looked up upon his list of creations, unsure of what to create first as they all just looked as mesmerising as each other.
‘Spider’ Matt thought, mentally selecting the spider as his monster of choice, having made the decision after some deliberation on his part, feeling a rush of energy leaving his core, all in all, a grand total of ten 10 EP. an extremely small spider of about 2-3 inch’s height appearing directly below his cory diamond-shaped body before he could even blink.
‘Agh, that not what I wanted, not what I wanted at all, but still, he thought looking over the small size of a spider, annoyed that he’d wasted so much energy, of which he had little to spare at the moment, creating this small spidery thing and all he had to show for was this. This. this Giant of a spider. Standing three feet tall this spider was one of the largest, though not the largest, he’d ever seen of its species.
‘Perhaps I could…’ Matt thought an idea coming to mind only to suddenly be interrupted mid-thought, a sudden feeling that he knew all too well interrupting appearing out of nowhere, that of a small tiny mental tap originating from Bob’s side of the mental Bond. 'Ugh, What does he want now,'
"let’s see shall we" Matt, annoyed yet curious as he cautiously pushed his newly formed mental shields strength as low as he could possibly make them without leaving himself too vulnerable to any sort of mental manipulations that Bob might try.
“Thank-You sir”, Bob promptly said as soon as he was suddenly let through Matt's mental defences. “I think I have a solution to your problem, sire”.
“How so?”
“Well, have you tried making them bigger?”
“Wait, I can do that?” Matt asked, shocked, the possibility having never come to mind. As it would never have been possible back on earth.
“Sure you can, why, Oh, yes, I forgot,” Bob said, pulling Matt’s hopes down only to bring them back up again with his next set of words. “, You were born on an energy Zero planet where dungeons don’t exist. Dirt was it. Oh, what a silly name for a planet. Why would anyone name a planet that, when there are much better names like Juno or Zest or Gian or, or....." Bob said going off into yet another of his educational but ever so tiresome rants modes of his.
"Bob!”, Matt mentally shouted as loud as mentally could, stopping Bob before he could go into yet another full-on rant.
"Sorry, master", Bob sent back, a sense of sudden sorrow flowing through Bob’s side of the bond.
"It's Ok. Just tell me, how do I do this? How do I increase their size? Please..." Matt asked, stretching the please as far as he could take it, eager to start. As if he could do this. It would make everything that he'd gone through worth it.

“Oh, Ok, Master. It’s simple. All you would need to do. If you wish to make your Monsters bigger. Even if just by a micro inch. You would need to put more of your energy Into the creation process. Bob said, making it all sound so simple.
"Ok, if it's so simple to do, why didn't you tell me about this earlier," Matt asked, curious as to what Bob's answer would be.
"Simple, you didn't ask, master."Bob simply said, irritating Matt to the extremes. 'Ugh, Bob, sometimes you just...' He thought, annoyed by Bob’s answer, stopping himself from saying the words out loud at the last second before he did/said something that he might regret at a later date.
“And besides, master!” Bob said interrupting Matt before he could say more on the subject. “It’s not as easy as it looks, I can assure you of that, Master”.
“Ok, so how do I do it? How do I make it bigger than”, Matt said ignoring ominous feelings that followed Bob’s words.
“Simple”, Bob said, stretching the conversation as he liked to sometimes do, irritating Matt to no end. Finally, though after a lengthened pause, Bob opened his mentally filled obtuse mouth and finally spoke… “You just need to add more energy into the monster and imagine the monster growing bigger. And it will naturally begin to grow, like this”, Bob said, mentally projecting the steps that matt would need to take to do so.
“Okay, I’ll do that…'' Matt sent back, directing his feelings of uncertainty and mistrust that felt towards Bob aside for the moment so that he could deal with the task at hand. Unwilling to let any of his petty emotions get in the way of doing something that he had only dreamed about since he was a young grad student. Directly changing the genetic code of another being. Though naturally, he had at the time thought to use science to achieve this goal, but this would work just as well he guess.
Matt. Carefully. Ever so carefully. Pushing his sense of sense of self back into his core. And, Imagining the energy as strings of white light, just as Bob had taught him, carefully began to draw upon the energy that was hidden within his core out into the world.
Slowly, ever so so slowly, directing the energy outwards from his core, dispatching the strings out into the small mega spider that stood below him. Casually watching as the small black spider slowly began to grow. Growing bigger. And bigger. And bigger. With every single second that went by. Till finally, having reached the size of a rather large bear, its growth stalled to a crawl before finally stopping altogether as Matt, having used up most of his energy, quietly cut the energy off before he could drain himself dry.
‘Hmm, notifications’, Matt thought turning his attention to the blue screens that even now stood before him, him having seemingly ignored them in his effort to create the ever gigantic Gia-spider that stood before him.
Congratulations you have evolved a monster into a new variant race
Please name (unknown) variant spider type Ranked monster for System records,
Warning: If you do not decide in the next 15 seconds. Then this system will decide for you and the (……) variant Spider Monster will be destroyed.
‘What the!’ “Bob you never said anything about this' ' Matt thought/said shocked, slightly furious that Bob had forgotten such a key detail.
“Oh did I not say, master”
“No Bob, No you didn’t”
“Oh sorry,” Bob said, replying with the same neutral-like speech that he always seemed to use whenever they conversed now back.
“Why not...!”
“Because you never asked, master,” Bob said, acting like the robotic figure that Matt had always thought him to be.
‘Hahh, you little, sometimes, I just want to rip you….. ’ Matt thought, sighing, taking a sharp mental breath, instantly starting the steps to get rid of his anger before he could do something that he knew he would instantly regret later, starting his usual count as he did so.
(1) hah
(2) huh
(3) hahh
(4) huhh
(5) hahh
''6"Huh...Bob what should I do?”Matt asked, breathing his last breath, taking his anger out on him, looking over the notifications again just to be sure he hadn’t missed anything.
“I don't know, Master. What do you want to do?”Bob asked back.
“I Don’t know, I really don’t know,” Matt said, unsure, uncertain of what he should do. On the one hand, he could just name the dam thing and be done with it, On I can just leave it and let the system destroy this, this, this Giaspider, Haha, Giaspider I like that...That’s what I should call you’ Matt thought, suddenly coming to a decision.
‘And just in time too,’ He thought mentally typing in the words Giaspider with his thoughts the clock at just 2 seconds short of extinction.
Congratulations, you have created your first variant monster and have named it. This Spider variety will forever be known as Giaspider.
Congratulations, by creating your first Monster on your own you have earned the monster trait variation.
Congratulations, by creating your first Monster on your own you have reached a defining moment in your dungeon hood. You are no longer a crawling infant but a toddler taking its first steps to greatness.
“Well then I better get back to work,” Matt thought/said, preparing himself for the drain that was surely yet to come.

Two years later he still battles with the grief. The storm is back. And Heron finds a man trapped unconscious in the middle of the cold winds. His vital signs are odd and the only thing he remembers is his name : Davir.Heron provides Davir with medical care and finds in the stranger the opportunity to have a pawn in the royal guard. An alibi to buy himself liberty from the control of the ruling council of the capital. An indebted man is a man easy to persuade, and Davir acts as intended.

An unsettling discovery comes to the surface: he'd been lied to about the death of his mother by the ruling council. Suspicious that he's, too, a pawn trapped in a tangle of political interests he cares little for, Heron is determined to get to the bottom of the secrets kept from him. Davir's military abilities could be of great help. Davir, too, needs Heron's ressources to discover his forgotten identity. An alliance between the two is then formed.
