[Quest Generated!]
[Learn about the mysterious figure in front of you!]
[Learn na: 0/1]
I stared at the quest prompt in front of with wide eyes. I looked at the man who was still chained up with a bewildered look as chuckling kept on entering my mind.
(Do you believe now…?)
I nodded dumbly as the evidence laid in front of stared back at .
(Great… First off, I'll give you my na... As the objective completion of your newly generated quest…)
I looked back at the bound human, my eyes still wide in confusion, elation, and anxiety.
I could do nothing but accept, and the man chuckled once more in my mind.
(This might co as a shock… But you may know as Drakhan…)
My eyes widened in realization.
"I… I knew I recognized that voice…" I said absent-mindedly as the human… No… Drakhan continued to chuckle in my head.
(Do you know the reason why my mask and cloak were given to you as a reward from the Dungeon Gas…?)
I shook my head at his question.
(Do you rember when Chythos, the God of Monsters, went missing during the final event?)
I nodded, and I gasped in realization.
"… He t with you…"
(Correct…)
His chuckles continued to echo in my mind, his jovial tone a stark contrast to his current predicant.
(I told him to give you those two items… It was the only way for you to form my Shadow and for to be able to bring your consciousness back in the void where I currently lie imprisoned.)
I stayed quiet as Drakhan continued with his words, his voice still echoing in my mind.
(But that isn't the reason why I brought you here… The real reason is to warn you… Goddess Phoemis, the Goddess of Humanity, was one of my old friends back when I was still a mortal…)
"… The Goddess of the Human Movent cult…?"
(As much as I would want to say no… Yes… She is the Goddess of that cult… But there's a reason for that, and it has sothing to do with my warning... Phoemis… My old friend… Has been killed by a mortal… Her corpse lay rotting on Praeccathae soil…)
I was about open my mouth and speak, but Drakhan gave no chance to.
(Gods and Goddesses, when they die, are supposed to dissipate into the vast cosmos, their remains forming new Gods and Goddesses… Not rot in a world like so kind of mortal…)
Drakhan sighed and I kept quiet, my unasked question answered by his explanation.
(But I digress… The mortal who killed her is the leader of that cult…)
I froze and the implications of his words dawned upon .
"… They invaded Lina's Dungeon just before I slept… And judging by their numbers, I assu they wanted to either take over or exterminate… That ans…"
(It is as you say… The leader of the Human Movent cult is targeting Dungeons specifically…)
"But why? Why waste soldiers in this fruitless endeavor?"
(Who said it was fruitless…?)
I froze in shock once more, his words forming a giant pit in my gut.
(The leader of that cult is a subordinate of another God… One whose na I have no idea of... What I do know is that God has sothing against Chythos… And they would stop at nothing to get what they want…)
"… Does this an…"
(Yes… This is possibly a start to another Heavenly War…)
Drakhan sighed and I focused on specific word Chythos ntioned.
"What do you an by another?"
(It is what I way it is… Another Heavenly War… It has happened before, and it is not pretty… Trust , you wouldn't want to be in the middle of sothing like that… Which is why you need to prepare… If Dungeon Masters die left and right, Chythos won't stand idly by… Before that happens, I need you to root it out at the source…)
I was about to respond, but a migraine stopped . I grabbed my head and curled myself into a ball as I floated in the darkness.
(Our ti is up… You mustn't tell anyone about this… Otherwise… We risk having the hostile God knowing of our intentions… The only ones you could tell the information you heard today is Drake, Domino, and your summons…)
I tried to respond, but the pain in my head continued to grow, until my vision grew hazy and I felt my consciousness fading.
(Jionni… Rember… If you want to survive… Trust …)
My eyes closed and I felt the energy in my body whither into nothingness…

"Aghh!" I woke up with a start, sweat pooling on my face as I beheld a worried Domino looking at with a tiny frown.
"Papa… Are you okay…?" Her voice tinged with worry snapped out of my stupor, and I patted her head with my right hand.
"… No… I'm… I'm not okay…" I admitted to my surrogate-daughter, who proceeded to climb on my chest and lay her tiny body against it.
"Do you want… To talk…?" Her voice soothed my soul, and I smiled.
"Yes… But first, we need to call Drake." I grabbed Domino and got up, making sure that she wasn't pushed off the hammock. Putting her on my shoulders, I got off the hammock and stretched my back. "Can you order one of the primates to wake him up? Tell him that I have sothing important to discuss with him."
Domino nodded and proceeded to use the Dungeon nu to contact one of the free primates to follow my order. While she was doing that, I accessed the Dungeon nu as well and took a look at my Resident Inco.
Dungeon Resident Inco:
DP: 28,422
EXP: 13,835
DP: 37,205 => 65,627
EXP: 1,920 / 16,000 => 15,755 / 16,000
I smiled at the result. Drake is doing wonders for my DP and EXP daily inco. At this rate, I'll be able to level up every other day, and gain a lot of DP to expand and fortify my Dungeon even more.
But before that, I still had one more thing to check, and that was the quest I got from Drakhan.
[Learn about the mysterious figure in front of you!]
[Learn na: 1/1]
[Finish Quest: Y/N]
Seeing no other option, I pressed Y and watched as the rewards pooled in my inventory.
[Learn about the mysterious figure in front of you!]
[Learn na: 1/1]
[Hidden Objective 1: Realize the potential danger you're in.]
[Rewards: Drakhan's Strides]
[Hidden Reward 1: Realize you're not an idiot.]
I felt giddy at the reward, but then fell silent at the hidden reward.
'Seriously, Drakhan?'
=You called?=
'You know what… Nevermind…' I sighed and continued walking, my previous mood now gone due to the trolling original Drakhan did to .
