" End ETH'AIM. "

ETH'AIM ? What's a ETH'AIM ? Is it tasty ? I bet it is ... eat counts as end ? No answer ... Dumb useless system.

An image is showing up ... and a lot of data ... can you put that on audio mode dumb system ? A figure seated on a throne wrapped in shadows ... Never ate shadows before ... but looks tasty ... Oh ... audio mode is on ... Story time.

" Eth'aim, is seated on a throne deep within the Caverns of ..."

Skip ... Not a fan of boring things, and even less of locations ... Living like a mimic has some problems ... If you want me to end that Shadow Lord, get me some map on my head with directions ... not a fan of reading maps, so point the way always ... dumb system ...

" Eth'aim is inside a dimly-lit throne room. And he is a boss level 95. "

Big shadow creature is seated in the middle of the shadows ... If I wrote a book I bet that adventurers will love it. Seated inn the shadows ... I can use that ... a plan start forming ... anything more, system ? Something useful ?

" If Eth'aim is stunned, he is enable to counter any attack. "

Stun ? How can I stun a big guy made of shadows ? Dumb system ... At least it updated the map ... follow the imaginary arrows on my mind ... perfect ... Oh ... some adventurers ahead ... lower the head, and play weak ...

" You're going to the Caverns ? " Asks the young Knight to the mage.

" No way ... Eth'aim level up ... and is even more dangerous than before ... " Answers the mage, they continue talking, but I head enough. The dumb system gave me information, but not the update ... This might also the reason why it wants to end the shadow creature ... A puppet not playing by the rules is set for elimination ... by me.

I wonder if I do the same, someone will come for me ... Most adventurers will feel afraid of that, and follow the master orders ... I want that to happen some day ... Prey coming to a mimic is every fake treasure box's dream.

But for now is time to taste some shadows ... the path is almost empty ... only a few dare to come here ... But they are wasting their time taking ... more for me ... I can see the big guy ... but he looks ... unaware of my presence ... Monsters are not suppose to face monsters so he is ignoring me ... no ... forget that. That huge foot almost trampled me ... Eth'aim can't see me ... and he is standing ... is time to prepare my plan ... move a little ... and wait ...

Here they come ... adventurers talk to much, I heard them ... planing the strategy ... and the battle begins ... They also ignore me, but for other reason ... and advantage of being a mimic ...

Eth'aim can multiply itself ??? No ... they are illusions ... and the Paladin attacked one of them. The beast rejoices, and with a swing of his hand hit the thieve ... I can see why ... She has less HP than all the others ... and no armour. Down she goes ... Need to remember to get some armour after I end this situation.

Typical human ... after losing her partner, the Paladin is driven by emotion and began to cast magic to punish the shadow beast ... Big mistake, a Paladin level 50 is strong, but Eth'aim is level 95 ... and casted his shadow magic way faster ... And this was the end of the party of two ... big mistake ... And here he comes ...

Eth'aim seats on his throne ... and understands what I done to late ... One by one the oil lamps are tossed, and what was shadows now burns bright ... And without shadows, the poor creature can't heal melting on them ... or even moving ... So he accepts his fate, seated on his throne, and cursing me on a strange language ... While my greedy sac minion under him sucks his mana.

A mimic basic trick, pretend to be a chair ... on this case a throne ... after my minion drained enough, I reach my tentacles closer. The shadow creature tries to fight back, but the ring of fire around him is still burning ... and light makes the shadows weak ... So I drink, and feast on his mana ... slowly he fades away, and my minion eats the leftovers ... except the core ... that one is mine.

" Quest ended. Warning, Shadow core about to be absorbed, continue ? " Dumb system, I am doing it on purpose ...

" Shadow element absorbed. The path to resist the Light is open, do you wish to serve the Darkness ? " Dumb question again ... I serve no one ... except my stomach ... I'll eat all.

" All conditions fulfilled. Wait for the next mission. " No reward ? Continue like that and I stop doing your dumb missions, stupid system ... Well ... is time to loot the party ... and the best part ... no need to look.

A simple command, and my bag eats all on sight ... organic is dissolved, inorganic is kept ... slowly my bag is filling, and now I have a few more things to use when necessary. Nothing more to do here ... better follow this stupid map.

At least I know that on the end of it is some tasty prey.
