“I’m bored”

  Rakikas was resting on her throne inside the room she was trapped in, there was no one there apart from her and she had already explored the whole place, and it was only bricks and the green thing the system called moss after she remembered she could identify things.

  “I want to go back to Iko!” She said while getting up and stretching.

  “Speaking of her… I forgot to ask about the tentacles that appeared from her blood in the place I first meet her!” she said while scratching behind her human ears, they felt weird, but not bad, it was like something she missed, but the double hearing was something she would need to get accustomed to.

  “I wonder what happened to her after the strange chains falling from the sky thing”

  Jaul was worried, not really about the lizard, but that if she died his dungeon would disappear, if a dungeon assistant died before the 1-month mark from the creation of the dungeon, the dungeon would cease to exist, and he couldn’t have that happening.

  How am I supposed to stop her outburst without killing her? He thought as he dodged once more the huge claw of the lizard named Iko, because even after this weird transformation she got, he was still 150 levels higher than her. She had become his dungeon assistant but after he freed her from the chains he had put on her before she suddenly started coughing blood and her eyes also started to bleed.

  As he thought about that, the blood that filled the floor started bubbling like if it was heating, but it was at the same temperature as before, suddenly, black tentacles came outside her blood and tried to grab him, he easily destroyed them with this electric magic, cutting through them like butter, but they only multiplied, with his concentration divided between the lizard tail and claw’s and the tentacles, he had to activate his skill of [Parallel Thinking] to take notice of them all.

  This is getting annoying. The electricity that moved around his body condensed in his hand with the form of a whip, he dashed fast towards Iko, her face surprised from the sudden increase in speed, he then grabbed her with the whip, he had to contain himself to not burn her body too much so her regeneration could keep up, her face was covered in cracks and a hateful gaze.

  “Now what to do with you…” Suddenly the tentacles jumped straight at Iko instead of him and started devouring the whip he had formed around her, even if he had contained, that whip wasn’t something that could just be devoured, the tentacles then started covering Iko, devouring all electricity he throwed her way, leaving her most cracked eye uncovered, looking at him, or more specifically, his soul.

  Well, what now to not kill her accidentally? He identified both the woman and the tentacles.

  What is this? The name of the tentacles was weird because it was a single entity and not even an ability, and the biggest surprise, the lizard, if you can still call her that, had glitched and corrupted text on her identify result, and that title, it wasn’t a fake title given by the gods, it was a title given by the system, and it didn’t look like it was easy to get, especially because the aura the words were giving, her race didn’t show and her level was also hidden for some reason.

  As he was wondering what all this meant, lighting started to gather around her, and the moment Jaul blinked, she wasn’t there anymore, but there was a scratch on his face and she was behind him with a bloody claw.

  How did she? Before he could do something, she charged again against him, this time he reacted quickly and blocked by grabbing her hand a little to tight, as he accidentally had destroyed her arm by that move.

  I have to control myself; I can’t kill her. Jaul summoned his skill once more, filling the room with electricity, he couldn’t use any higher-grade skill without killing her or destroying the room.

  He then remembered that while the now not so lizard had the title of being his follower, he could order them. So, he tried to order her to calm down.

  “Iko, Stop this now!” He ordered. But the woman simply shrugged it off like nothing. How is she going against something the system said could happen? Then the system itself answered his question.

  The system is… talking?

  The… chains? Why? He asked while exploding the tentacles that tried to grab him while dodging the next assault of Iko.

  Okay, don’t see the reason to have to be so mad by the way. He dashed towards where the chains had been before Iko had gone crazy on him, they were still there. Just completely covered in her blood.

  I created them but I don’t think it still works covered by… that. He looked at them, the silver they once had completely covered by the black goo.

  “If you say so…” He turned towards Iko, who had surprisingly stopped attacking him the moment he grabbed the chains, he could see the hate in her eyes, but there was also fear whenever she looked at him with the chains.

  Not my problem. He shrugged it off and with a quick movement he appeared in front of Iko, grabbing her arm and adjusting the restraints on her.

  After only growling for the entire moment, she suddenly started talking.

  “?-??, ??? ?????, ?-???, ??? ?????? ???, ?? ????????? ?? ??????? ??, ?? ??V?? ????...” and she then closed her eyes.

  Who is this guy she keep’s referring to either way?

  I barely convinced him… The avatar of the system thought, the powers of the heir could never fall into the hands of the man who awakened and increased the woman's hate, [ERROR] the fucker who escaped the control of the system and the only one who could hack it, if he got the corruption… it couldn’t even imagine it.

  We are safe… for now. She wouldn’t let that bastard mess with her territory again. For the last part at the moment.

  She could take care of that

  S-so heavy… Iko was trapped, last she remembered was the system telling her that the system was hacked, who could even hack an omnipotent being? Then, she saw herself trapped inside a sea so heavy she couldn’t breathe, but she was just fine around the water, but she had lost the count of time long ago, for all she knew she was inside that ocean of endless painless torture for months, she was pretty sure if she hadn’t got so accustomed to pain, she would have nightmares and traumas about the ocean.

  But she wanted to get out, her body was accustomed pain, but her thoughts were also becoming foggy from the energy that surrounded her, but it wasn’t fair, she had become stronger out of the sudden, enough that she was sure she would be able to leave a single scratch on that man, even with the level difference, but instead she was trapped inside this never changing ocean.

  But suddenly, something did change, she could feel faint movements in the water around her, she turned her body and saw inside the abyss instead of the outside, and the abyss looked at her, there was a creature at the depths of the abyss, it looked similar to that one serpent in one of the rectangles in the room she was before, but it was different, the one on the boxes was more majestic, it gave respect, elegance, this one… it felt oppressive and hungry, it was hungry and it hunger was directed at her, it scales were a dark blue with green, it’s eyes were completely dark expect for a single white slit iris, it even had horns that went around it’s body.

  It looked just like her before she lost consciousness…

  “You are one lucky girl… I shall not devour you whole yet… that bastard stopped me… but I’ll take a little souvenir…” a crack sounded around her and hundreds of black chains appeared and grabbed the beast.

  A souvenir? Iko could feel how her consciousness was slowly returning to the real world.

  “Yes… I will devour part of your emotions… you shall not feel any of-“ The serpent was interrupted.

  “K???????3????????3?????????????????? ?????????Y????0????U?????????5???????? ????|????????-???????|???????4???????|???????/????|??????c???????|?????????5????????? ??????0?????????F????????? ???????|???-????????|?????????3?????????5???????????!???????????”?????? The voice that appeared when she had evolved appeared once again, the hands covered in eyes descended into the ocean and grabbed her, but not in a forceful way, but with care like she was a piece of jewelry that could break at the slightest force.

  That skill?

  “You and that system keep interfering… fine… but you got too late for her to be unscathed… I wasn’t able to devour anything, but her emotions are now unstable… I’ll be sealed with her hate but her other emotions will cause chaos inside her until I’m awake again…” then the sea serpent disappeared in to the abyss.

  She turned to the being of various eyes and the being returned a warm smile before also disappearing, the next moment, Iko had awaken inside the room she was before, in her chains again.

  Emilia was stuck on her flying rock ever since she was grabbed by the chains, she was scared, first she lost her humanity and now she was the secret boss of a random dungeon, secret bosses were special until they stopped being so, if someone came to try and clear the dungeon and they found Emilia, they would kill her, she isn’t the first boss with human like appearance, and she would be killed, the worst of all, secret bosses do not respawn, unless the dungeon is cleared, all enemies respawn after sometime, but not secret bosses, they are a onetime perk for challengers, they are supposedly super strong… but Emilia was only level 35!

  As she started to wonder about her death, the system showed her something that gave her some kind of hope.

  Iko looked around her, the room looked normal, Rainari egg was just right beside her, she was resting on a couch, her wing’s flapping slowly around her and her tail grabbed her thigh with force.

  As she looked behind her she saw Jaul sitting next to a bunch of boxes with moving drawings.

  He turned around and looked at her.

  “Ah! Your awake! Good, I wouldn’t want my dungeon to be destroyed because you died” he said while turning around.

  What is his deal? She focused her attention on the boxes, wondering how they worked.

  “Those are TV’s, I can see the rest of the dungeon with em” he said while biting down on a sandwich.

  “I-I knew that! I was just wondering why you were looking at them!” Iko answered almost instantly.

  Wait… normally I would have attacked him right away but why did I even answer him in the first place? Her mind instantly went to the sea serpent on that place, who said it was going to be sealed with her hate, did her hate disappear?

  “By the way you will get cold there, grab a blanket from over there” he pointed to a corner.

  “W-why are you being nice… you made me like this…so why do you look and sound concerned?” Iko asked him, she wanted to hate him, but with it sealed, there was not much she could do about it.

  The man looked caught on thought or just ignoring her, maybe that too.

  For Iko surprise, he actually answered.

  “You… remind of someone… now shut up and don’t get into my business.”
