Path Of Timeian

Chapter 2

Tom: Inir and Lakru, nice to meet you.

Inir: The honour is ours.

Tom: How many of you are in the dungeon?

Lakru: My lord, you mean alive are alive and respawning?

Tom: Respawning? What do you mane by that?

Lakru: There are two types of creatures. One type is you and us. We are not able to respawn, and the other kinds of beings can respawn.

Tom: Fascinating. Anything else I should know?

Lakru: I am mainly focusing on fighting, so Inir knows much more then I do.

Tom: Is that so?

Tom looked at the other girl who looked a bit scared.

Tom: Inir, please do tell me what you know.

Inir: Well, what Lakur said is not entirely true. It is a rather long story. 

Tom: Ok, but first, I would like to take a look at the dungeon and its surroundings.

Lakru: As you wish my lord. What would you like to see first?

Tom: I presume I have already seen a storage room, a throne room, hall, and part of this hallway.

Lakru: Unfortunately, we only have four rooms. Just as you have said, a storage room, a throne room, this hallway and an entrance.

Tom: Then I will go and see what lies outside of this dungeon.

Lakru: As you command my lord!

Inir: We shall follow you wherever you go.

Tom: That won't be necessary. Lakur you should stay put and let Inir tend to your wounds.

Lakru: my lord, I am sorry but I, as the only fighter, must protect you.

Tom: So you are saying that I am weak?!

Lakru: No, not at all, my lord. I feel I would be offending you if I didn't go with you.

Inir: She is right. We haven't even got to tell you the system of the dungeon.

Tom: Thanks for mentioning. I almost forgot.

Inir: My lord, I don't understand what you are talking about.

Tom:  System

Inir: ???

Lakru: ???

???: I had the impression you have already forgotten my existence, master.

Lakru: Who is there?

Tom: Don't worry, she is my skill, her name is System.

A young girl appeared next to Tom. She was wearing a full white dress, she had white hair and red eyes, just as Tom. They looked like they were siblings.

Inir: She is a skill?

Tom: Yes, I came from a world where magic does exist.

System: So what are your plans, master?

Tom: First tend to their wounds, I will take a look around the dungeon. Then I might take a look at the village these intruders came from. Oh, and one of them is in the throne room, he is probably unconscious by now.

Inir: What should we do with him?

Tom: I don't care about him. You should be the one who decides since he did nothing against me.

Inir: My lord, he tried to shoot you.

Tom: He did try to shoot me, but I could have evaded easily, you, on the other hand, have been injured by him. So the right is yours.

Lakru: My lord, you are far too kind.

Tom: I don't think so. But I will leave you here. I am heading out.

Inir: My liege, please let me accompany you!

Tom: System.

System grabbed both of their shoulders and pushed them down.

System: My master ordered me to tend to your wounds so I must fulfil my obligations. You are not leaving until you have been healed, understood?

Inir: Yes.

Lakru: Yes.

Tom walked forward, and he saw many dead wolves. 

Tom: The intruders shouldn't have been able to defeat that many wolves all by themselves, unless.

Tom kneeled down and took a closer look at a corpse. He inspected its physical conditions and its wounds.

Tom: I see. Weakness from hunger. So that is why they were able to do that.

There were four dead wolves in the hallway, but as he reached the next area, he saw eight more corpses, but they were much smaller like they were kids.

Tom: Inir wasn't lying. This dungeon seems weak. I will have some work to do.

Tom looked around the room and saw the third intruder. His head was smashed into the wall and was on the ground.

Tom: He deserves it, killing weak wolves and attacking children.

Tom headed forward, and he exited the dungeon. It was nothing more than a cave. He saw three horses and a girl in rags and wearing chains on her legs and hands as he took a few steps. She had blue eyes and long black hair.

Tom: Slavery... Humans were the dominant species in my previous world, and it seems this world has the same fate, destruction.

Tom approached the girl with a smile, but she didn't do anything, so Tom put his paws onto her shoulders, and with his bare hands, he broke her chains.

Tom: Hey, you, you should come inside.

Girl: I can't. If I move from this spot, they will kill me.

As she opened her moth, Tom noticed four very sharp teeth.

Tom: By any chance, are you a vampire?

Vampire girl: Yes, I am.

Tom: I see. Would you like to stay in our dungeon?

Vampire girl: As I have already told you I can not do that.

Tom: Two of your masters are dead, and the last one is probably unconscious.

Vampire girl: What, this should be the weakest dungeon. They only needed a few kills to level up.

Tom: It used to be the weakest one. I have killed one of them and wounded another. They were weak.

Vampire girl: You are saying it is safe for me to move?

Tom: Of course. So if you'd like, you could come inside.

Tom turned around and started walking back to the cave, leaving the girl and the three horses. The vampire looked around and run to Tom.

Vampire girl: Are you sure they won't hurt me?

Tom: I am.

Both of them entered the dungeon. As the girl saw the smashed headed intruder, he started smiling. They moved and entered the hallway, but suddenly a knife came flying at the vampire girl, but Tom grasped it mid-air, and it didn't reach the girl.

Tom: I have walked for a few minutes, and you have already forgotten about me, Lakru?

Lakru: I am sorry my lord, I thought that girl was an enemy.

Tom: I have invited her, so she is a guest. 

Lakru: Can I ask who she is?

Tom: She is the slave of the attackers.

Vampire girl: Lord? Are you the overlord of this dungeon?

Tom: Well, something like that.

The three of them entered the throne room. System and Inir were cleaning it, and when they saw Tom, they stopped. The corpse and the unconscious man were put to the side of a pillar.

Vampire girl: So they were really beaten.

System: Master, what are your orders.

Tom: Inir, tell me everything I should know regarding dungeons.

Inir: As you command!

Tom: And then, we will visit the village, and demonstrate our strength.
