[ Dungeon: Goblin's Nest Dungeon (Epic) ]
" You want to, take this 'Captain's identity? " DG-525 asks as he finally can talk well again despite his form not reverting, still covered by smoke per his monstrous body's chanism.
" Of course, you could actually do it, do you, O 'Dark Stranger'? " Black rchant asks.
" Not only his appearance by consuming him, I also want you to take his na. "
" Duncan Grimshaw, that would be likely fit for your new identity. "
" What about the 'Donovan'...? " DG-525 asks.
" Just take the 'Duncan', it seems to fit you based on my guts. " Black rchant tells DG-525.
" I didn't know if I could, I never knew I could do 'that', before. "
" After all, you're telling to eat his corpse so I could look like him? " 525 asks.
" Yes, that's what I'm talking about. " Black rchant answers it to DG-525's confusion.
" You're still confused why I ordered you to swallow the Knight Captain's body, don't ya? " Black rchant asks which DG-525 shakes his head.
" Because that is what your race could do, you D######r. " Black rchant says.
" Do-, what? " DG-525 asks as he swallows Captain Duncan.
" Really? You didn't know you're race's own na. "
" D######r, that's how you're race used to pronounce themselves in their own language back then. "
" Your's is a rare species who lived in the Darkest of Worlds, hence why your body had a self-chanism to automatically spurt smoke if the place filled with so much light, or perhaps had a basic-camouflaging to make your skin protected from the light and adapted to your surroundings. "
" Ca-camouflage...? " DG-525 asks.
" You're saying like I just did it, earlier... "
" Yes, you did. " Black rchant replied.
" When the place filled with the fire smoke that's when it happened. "
" It seems yours is not that potent, perhaps you're a defect from your kind? "
" Defect!? " DG-525 asks while gulping Captain Duncan's body.
" I'm not defect! I'm advanced! " DG-525 as he shows that he could change the parts of his body into weapons which he used earlier to kill the knights, covered by the smoke.
" I see, you're scientifically upgraded... "
" When you said 'Advanced', it sohow made rember sothing as I travel through the realms using the Gates. "
" When I try to find more custors... " Black rchant says as he puts down his big bag and opens it to bring out so goods.
" What is- "
" This is a 'System Nano Pill', a Prototype Pill I've developed to make people know what they're capable of. " Black rchant throws it on DG-525's hand as he sees it.
" Cute pill... " he says while looking at it, and swallowing it.
" It tastes good, what are the ingre- "
[ Initializing ]
" Huh!? " DG-525 says as he swears to himself that he hears a voice.
" It is ti. " Black rchant says while seeing 525's reaction.
" Not to worry, it's just the effect of the Pill's Nano Robots that is currently spreading to your body. "
" Using my eyes, I could see that you seed to have already been implanted with many Nano and Biotechnological stuff within it, hence your very form. " Black rchant comnts while seeing through DG-525's body like an X-ray and Infrared.
" After all the D######rs I've seen back then are not that 'advanced' looking as you, you're more, umm... upgraded. "
" I believe you have received many scientific operations before, yes? " Black rchant asks DG-525 nods as the voice cos to him again.
< System Initializing >
< System Initializing >
< Initialization Complete >
< Hello, User DG-525. >
< I am the System that will provide you, with , I will help you scan and monitor things through. >
DG-525 then sees 'Visible Words' appearing in front of him, he is startled as he is surprised.
" This is like in the 'Facility'... "
" In the 'Facility' Visible Words like this exist because the place is provided with equipnt to make it possible, but this-... "
" The 'equipnt' is within you, for only you could see it, as well as the one who developed it. "
" With that, I hope it could guide you on staying in the 'Elysium Haven'. " Black rchant Tells.
" Elysium Haven? " DG-525.
" A Paradise Sanctuary of a Realm, made to protect the humans from the Ravaging days of Ragnarok, the Great War of Old. "
" A realm rich-filled with Mana, used by its people to perform 'Magic'. " Black rchant says which makes DG-525 stutter.
" M-Magic? " DG-525 suddenly rembers the things he learned back in the 'facility', his mories of learning things co back to him.
" Yes, Magic... "
" A Current Practice that had been popularized again around the realms. "
" After Ragnarok, the use of Magic is everywhere, through it, civilizations were made using its wonders. "
" By using Water Magic, those who lived near the seas had the power to prevent Tsunamis. "
" By using Fire Magic, those who had their houses burned could pull the fire out into the very skies by bending it through the Mana. "
" By using Earth Magic, those who travel around could instantly make a ho out of the rocks and many earth materials. "
" And last, those who had Wind Magic could make self-made Tornadoes that could help swirl any water and dry it instantly. "said the Black rchant as he said it.
" Like the Knight Captain you just consud, I believe you had already received his Magic right after you consud it. " Black rchant says as the 'Words' pops up.
< User had perfectly absorbed the 'Knight Captain's Mana. >
< User's Mana Core is perfectly made, scanning the results. >
< Scanning... >
< Results Scanned >
< Result: >
< User's Magic: Wind Magic >
< Magic Tier: IV >
" Tier... IV? " DG-525 asks.
" That's how unique your magic is classified, no need to worry. "
" For in the realms of magic, the one who wins is not always the strongest. "
" Despite strength is still the primary rule... "
" But..., those who also had the right intellect, creativity, uniqueness, effort, modification, upgrade, and many kinds of things that could build up one's strength could also beco winners in this world. "
" Like Captain Duncan, for example... "
" Do you know, despite the Wind Magic's usefulness, it was still considered the Weakest Elent amongst the Realm of Magic? " Black rchant asks.
" Weakest? " DG-525 sees his wounds after fighting Captain Duncan.
" It doesn't look weak to . " DG-525 says.
" Perhaps he did sothing to himself to make himself that powerful? " DG-525 asks as the Black rchant brings out so things.
" Yes, the reason he is strong when fighting you is because he was using equipnt and items to do so, enhanced by the Mana. "
" With that, with his Wind, he could wound a great monster such as you, using Equipnt and Items such as these. "
" Equipnt and Items that I will provide for you free, I an it, for this is your first encounter with , DG-525, I an, Duncan Grimshaw. "
" Here, take a look! " Black rchant offers DG-525's his 'rchandise' as the two begin to discuss things as they know more about each other.

Extra:
This is the first eting between Duncan and the Black rchant, for this is the start of where Duncan will live as a human.
His real monstrous race's na is the one written above, for that is how it was pronounced by the race's own language, Black rchant t them before.
And yes, finally for the revelation, yes...
Duncan also had the System like Donovan, but with a different concept, his System is not as advanced as his future 'son' would have.
BTW, Do you know I already thought about Duncan having a System in the first intro Chapter for his character (Chapter 1 | Character Introduction: Duncan Grimshaw), where he sees his first purchase of Items outside the Black rchant from the 'Weapon Store' owned by Ronald (ntioned in Chapter 101: Black rchandise).
In Chapter 1, you could see Duncan see the items as I put ' this ()' instead of 'this ([) and this (])', yes, that's because I've already decided that Duncan, the 'dad' had the System as well but didn't had the bravery to reveal it at the ti.
Example:
< Weapon: Leaf Cutter (Rare) >
< Type: Sword >
< Effect: Cutting Precision >
....
< Weapon: Floating Orb (Rare) >
< Type: Orb >
< Effect: This orb gives the user, so skills and spells based on the user's current status. >
....
And regarding how the System works, Duncan's System appears in his eyes as 'Visible Words' (Visible Digital Words to be exact) instead of a 'Visible Digital Window Interface' like Donovan.
I'm sorry if so of you are pissed, but it is what it is, I hope you guys could understand.
My very humble apologies, Author KJVZeanso.
