[Ti Left: 30 Days, 3 Hours]
"I… I have been waiting for your arrival…"
Fitz's voice trailed as he stared straight into my eyes, his curled up lips firm in a smile.
Even now, he had that sa cheerful expression on his face.
"When I first saw you… I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm ashad that I… almost… couldn't recognize you…"
Recognize ? Was he talking about now that I ca to rescue him? But why did he say "first?"
Perhaps he was rambling unintelligble words since he was on the verge of death. However, with Fitz staring straight into my eyes, I couldn't help but think he was talking to .
But… what was this all about?
Suddenly, it seed like the world was on pause, and the only thing that existed in this entire space was Fitz and .
The mood grew so solemn that I could almost taste it.
"Y-you look so much younger… weaker… different from what I expected. But it seems that doesn't matter. Ultimately, I wasn't disappointed."
I was very confused.
Was this ant to be so sort of hint? If so, I wasn't picking any relevant information I could use.
The Quests were all complete, and all that was left was to kill the Treant Boss. The only reason I was with Fitz right now was because it was clear the System was trying to tell sothing.
But what was it? I didn't understand.
"You found the treasures. You ca back for . And soon… you will do much more."
Fitz was clearly talking to . But for what purpose?
"No matter… what form you take… no matter how long… I will always rember. I will always remain loyal… to you."
Why was Fitz acting so familiar with ? He was going to die now, no? Perhaps… was this sothing like a prompt? Maybe to use on him?
Yes. That was probably it.
"I can see the vestiges within you already. Ah… I can't wait… till you fully manifest."
Fitz gave one final strained smile, and then his breathing beca uneven. He struggled to inhale and exhale, and his body shivered in my arms.
I could feel it get cold, and watched as his face paled while he maintained his smile… as well as his steady gaze.
Right there and then, Fitz died.
A mont of silence flowed as a result of his demise, and I allowed myself to be quiet for a few seconds, taking in everything I had just heard.
"Haa…" I still didn't understand a thing.
In the end, I still couldn't use my on him either.
However… since my Skill's new upgrade now allowed to revive those that I didn't kill as long as they died in my presence, I could use on him.
That was probably the right course of action.

"What? I can't even use ?"
And what was this about being under the control of soone else? Was the System referring to itself?
"Well, I guess that makes sense. If it is a System Prop, then I guess it has so sort of administrator lock that makes it an NPC."
That way, no participant of the First Floor would be able to influence it.
"Still… he didn't seem like an NPC…" I whispered.
Perhaps it was just , but Fitz appeared too real to be fictional. However, that was probably just him playing his role.
'I still don't understand what he said at the end. But… I guess I'll keep it in mind.'
~FSHUUUUUU~
Fitz's body slowly began to dissipate, and I watched it turn into white dust. The particules glittered as they broke off from the rest of his weathering form.
Like scattered pieces of dust, they flowed with the wind, ascending far above until there was nothing left for to hold onto.
"Fitz…" I whispered, staring longingly into the distance. "... You didn't even drop anything?"
What then, was the whole point of coming back for him?
Perhaps I would recieve that reward once the First Floor was cleared. Besides, he did lead to a Hidden Quest, so that was plenty for .
"I can't waste any more ti right now." Mumbling to myself, I rose to my feet.
It was less than three hours till the end of the first day here, and I was feeling a bit more energetic than one would expect from a guy who hadn't slept so many days in a row.
'I'm already almost done. Why not just finish this for good asure? The sooner I can clear this Floor, the better the Reward. So, lets get to it.'
The only thing currently standing in the way of and my great reward was the Boss Monster that was currently rising to its feet.
The whispers were gone, and my exhaustion was strangely gone. I felt more alive than I had ever been in a while.
And now… I was facing the Boss of the First Floor.
There were many ways I could go about this, but only one thod seed to be on my mind at this point.

My shadows instantly stretched for a great distance behind , and from its depths erged crimson eyes.
Crimson energy cackled all around it… and , as my eyes shone brightly.
And then, THEY began to co forth.
All twelve of my wyverns. All three of the Dark Demon Trees I had.
… And finally, my dragon.
"This should be more than enough." I smiled, watching the Whispering Treant watch my army's appearance in horror.
My beasts hovered in the air. My creatures dominated the earth. My minions… were everywhere.
I was everywhere.
'Don't worry, Fitz. Prop or not, I'll help you get your revenge.'
A tingling sensation coursed through my veins, perating the sa feeling across the rest of my body, as I opened my lips to utter the word.
"Attack."
