Leon sighed as he continued trying to fix the crater that was left behind. He was a builder, a constructor, a creator! And yet, now he was humbled to the nial task of a landscaper.
While he wanted to complain, the arachnid assassin that called itself Vee was a harsh mistress, and he'd receive punishnt for disobedience. The worst part was that she called it "justice for trying to destroy such a beautiful island".
Of course, attempts to flee had crossed his mind multiple tis, but any attempts had been quickly thwarted—it was as if the entire island was spying on him! He'd long since postulated that the spider had turned the whole area into a hidden domain of web.
At least it isn't all doom and gloom. The food she's provided is quite adequate.
According to Vee, they mainly were killing ti until this "Syl Sli" person appeared. According to the spider, this sli could not only temporarily recreate resources he could only dream of, but even permanently duplicate ores and minerals.
Magical tutelage was also ntioned, but Leon had scoffed at the idea. Who needed magical mumbo jumbo when you could rely on your keen wit?
Hopefully, the spider keeps her word of letting off the hook once this sli sees . While it appears that she can't kill , she still can keep eternally trapped.
Leon had to admit he was curious to et this supposed benefactor. The incessant whining of the buffoon in the void was certainly reason enough. The other reason was that after he "agreed" to work with Vee, he had received a strange notification.
Leon had never heard of quests before; since when was this a function of the system that he was provided? At one point, he had gotten sothing called achievent twice, in fact, but it had never occurred again.
He was tempted to try to pry the information out of the spider, but quickly snuffed that thought in favor of hiding so of his cards. The reward after all was insight, and perhaps this was the key to his great escape?
I can only hope…
He continued toiling away while biding his ti. Patience was on his side, and it was what allowed him to eventually escape from the clutches of the rn.
While he was plotting, sothing suddenly changed. Two figures suddenly teleported nearby. He knew one was the spider; the creature constantly flaunted its ability to break the laws of physics, as if it were a joke. However, the other was soone else, a blueish humanoid woman with pointed ears and long hair.
It's the bloody sli elf!
He quickly retreated into his shell. He had made it clear he wouldn't reveal himself while she was directly present; after all, he wasn't going to expose his neck to such a deadly assassin.
"Leon!" Vee exclaid excitedly. "I got soone I want you to et. Say hello to my friend and travelling companion, Syl!"
Before he could react, he felt another presence linking up to his mind. Compared to the spider, for so reason, it made him feel very… small. But before he could muster a response, sothing else was triggered with a ping.
An emblem?
Leon was confused; he'd only obtained one as a reward for killing hundreds upon hundreds of sea monsters. Ignoring the [Experint] one he had from the start, of course.
Leon couldn't help but glare at the mocking tone he felt from the text. He already knew he wasn't a match in an upfront fight against the spider and desperately wished to run away.
He was already questioning the value of this "insight", but still wanted to use it on the sli elf before him. The spider was a sowhat known variable, but this gelatinous humanoid creature was a mystery. At the very least, he could compare the result against the spiders.
