What's next?

" End Kobolds. "

A message about Kobolds ... Never eat them ... I think ... Go ahead, system tell me all ... Let me guess, they are evil.

They don't look very bad ... in fact they truly look to be a fun group to help looting a party ... or something bigger.

" Kobolds are attacking a village ... "

Skip ... From doing your dirty work, to be your Guardian ? The more power I get, more difficult are the missions ... Or on the side, difficult missions means more or better prey ... A village being attacked ... I can help them also ...

Some shadows here ... enough to use Shadow mode ... but just a little ... to much clarity outside ... Outside ? The map is making me leave my Dungeon ? This opens a new spectrum of potential flavours to explore ... But for now, I'll wait. Bag is eating solo adventurers, and I'm mimicking a wall ... I like to be a wall ... on this case a wall with a hole. I guess this is one of the reasons for the Dungeon is not too hot for the adventurers ... Basic mining course, the deeper you go, the harder is to breath, and the hotter it gets ... But not on a dungeon with a cooling system.

How do I know that ? I used to be a miner ... for a while ... until I tasted so many minerals they got tasteless, and then I ate the miner ... Good old days when I used to feel temperature, and breathing ... Since I'm a mana sucker ... no ... mana drainer ... I no longer need to do any of those things ... Even my meals have no waste ... That reminds me how dirty are the adventurers ... leaving their residues all around my Dungeon ... And becoming a perfect prey for Bag ... Light is fading away ... the big fireball in the sky is tired, and goes to sleep ... Is time to move ... Come on Bag, you the rest next time ... we have a village to devour ... and some Kobolds also ...

A small forest ... so the outside is equal to my Dungeon ... but the taste is different ... less magical ... Bag try your new human mode I showed you ... Yes, the peddler ... no ... you don't need a backpack ... Don't worry, I'll be inside your shadow ... You idea of a Peddler ... looks more a beggar ... but it can work also ... I like the detail on the oil lamp.

I want to devour ... I mean explore this outside world ... But for now is a bundle of woods around us ... Slow speed forward, Bag. Yes, slow ... we don't want to arrive to early ... let our future meal have some fun. I'm sure that the village follows the Light ... Coming down ... a small mountain after the woods ... Yes, Bag ... branches, rocks, dirt ... You have plenty of space, and we don't have any of those things on my Dungeon ... I want all of it there also. No, leave the trees ... there is no point in letting the adventurers find a shortcut to my Dungeon. Why ? Simple, until now they only have one corridor to reach us, so is easy to prepare an ambush ... after we eat all, we are going to close the Dungeon, and hunt another one. Yes, like the Adventurers do ... I want to eat one Dungeon core ... And that is the end of that Dungeon.

This map looks endless ... we need to consider a better way to travel ... Shadow mode is a good idea, Bag ... But moves too fast, and I want to taste all ... Yes, I'm hearing the screams ... Help ? Sure, let us devour the attacker, and the victim.

" Someone ... "

The voice is doing away, faster ? No, Bag ... the opposite ... the voice is on the direction of this endless map, so we know who they are ... How we listened to the voice ? I guess my senses are a little better ... Listen, the sound of screaming is now turning into combat ... See ? No helping allow humanoids to find their resources faster ... And is a perfect distraction to get them all in one strike ... I'm preparing a little surprise, Bag.

There they are ... a village with Kobolds trying to pillage it ... They look a little different from the image, but that is not our problem ... On the best case, we have a free meal, before hunting the real Kobolds. I like that one, leaping and sinking needle-like teeth into the neck of an adventurer ... probably the village's guards ... It's such a shame we arrive late ... Hahahaha .... You want to join them, Bag ? Sure, but follow the rules.

First eat a Kobold to properly mimic the form, then copy what the the others are doing. There are many of them, it's too dark, so you are just one more helping ... I advise to use the leap, and bite the neck. And if anything goes wrong, return to me to heal faster.

There he goes ... and reinforcements are arriving ... the y look tougher adventurers ... Plate armour troops ... and the leader is a Priestess ... Followers of the Light .... Bag is returning ... The adventurers have some experience ... Watch and learn Bag ... Since it's dark, and the moon is not smiling to them ... First you gather the shadows ... and make them pointy ... no, not spears ... that is too easy to spot ... small spikes ... waiting ... There it is the soldiers are moving forward to attack the Kobolds ... move up the spikes ... and pierce them all ... First the soldiers, then the villagers, see the torch falling ... One prey left ... Yes, some of the Kobolds ... You can eat the rest.

There it goes again, fully healed ... Kobolds are dressed with animal pelts ? And that one looks bigger ... Probably the Chief of them ... With a flaming sword sticking bag ... Ok, is my time to move ... rest on my shadow Bag, this one is mine ... You did good ... But a fire sword is too much for you ... for now.

Here comes another strike ... and no pain ... Missed ? No ... it hit ... caused no damage ... and the wanna be dog is too dumb too see it ... Here he comes ... leaping towards my neck ... swinging the sword to cut me in half ...

No style ... He could learn a few lessons from the Chef ... Bag, are you sure ? Yes, you can try again. I'm bored with him already ... BE careful with the sword ... Yes, I know it was just a surprise, and you can take a few hits ...

There he goes again ... The Kobold swings again, but Bag is not me, so steps to the side using the tentacles to move faster ... smart ... One tentacle pulls Bag to one direction, the other pushes it on the same direction ... the tentacles are places near the floor so for the Kobold Bag has a boos on Agility ... or is Dexterity ? No idea, my stats are all blank ... Or better ... they are not even here anymore ... My menu just says the mission ... and that I'm a Mimic ...

The Kobold has a sword ... but uses it like a club ... Even Bag is bored ... There you go, instead of using the tentacles to move, use them to grab the Kobold's feet, and drain it ... The poor beast dropped the sword, and is falling ... Bag wins ... no surprise ... Yes, eat the sword ... might do something ... And clean the rest ... No, the houses stay ... Eat a house ... Bag is starting to think like me ... Here comes the message ...

" Quest ended. "

Nothing special gained ... but now I know the path to go out of the Dungeon ... Eat a village ? No Bag, we are going to eat whole towns ... and countries ... soon.
