" End Shadow Wisp. "
A new mission ... And I recognise one word, shadow ... Back to trimming the evil forces ... Play the audio, system.

" The dungeon area is a place to get a blessing from the temple of Anari, and ... "
Skip. Boring part ... From the look of the image I can already guess the rest, the little fellow level up, and now is a menace that needs to be ... ended. I'm beginning to see a pattern here ... My role is to limit the growth of this abnormalities ... Play your role properly, or we send the mimic to eat you ... Not that I'm complaining ... free prey, get to know different areas of the dungeon ... feels like tourism ... I even get souvenirs after each job ... Maybe this is my reward to do this things ... Eat all you want, loot to your heart desires ... Or maybe the system is trying to keep me busy ... to not eat tastier prey ... For now I'll continue my plan ... let the prey feast, before I feast ... to trim both sides equally ... Shadow Wimp ... no need to ask .. you are part of the evil forces ... System continue ...
" Shadow Wisp, not Wimp are hunted as a proof of devotion by the bringers of the Light, and ... "
Skip ... The system correct me ... That means that my mind is not mine anymore ... makes sense since the map is on my mind, the missions are on my mind ... the messages are on my mind ... Have fun system, I'm going to eat you one day, and you can see the whole plan ... Or maybe try to stop me ... send the big guys ... this Shadow Wimp is an appetiser ... for my bag ... That's right, I'm feeding Bag under your nose all this time, and soon it will also level up.
That's a good idea ... let Bag eat this Shadow Wimp ... It could gain some shadow skill ... How the Wimp got level up, what are the weapons it has, what is the following of the existence ... all useless questions for me ... Show me the map, system ... Prey is waiting to be eaten ... There we go ... I missed my restaurant guide ... And this place has a lot of shadows ... way faster to travel ... a shadow eating another shadow ... Life can be so interesting sometimes ...
Resuming the mission, Wimp got some boost for some reason, level up, and now is hunting ... probably rookies ... I can use my brownie costume to lure it ... Oh, found it ... and seems I'm not the only one ... A human and seems lost.
The only one that was not a hunter, is going to be hunted ... I already like this little Wisp ... The human has minimal armour ... a big axe ... not much muscle mass ... but above the average ... human barbarian probably.

But something is wrong ... she is not only lost ... but Dizzy ... the stumbling says all ... Drunk ... and hitting things ... The HP is low ... not only drunk ... way drunk ...
" Easy ... cheap ... heal ... Booze works ... always. No need ... expensive ... Inari's greedy ... clerics. "
More words ... Recognised some ... heal ... Inari ... greed ...No time for that now ... The Wisp is attacking .. the best he can ... the small bolt of shadows only reveals his position ... making the Barbarian smile ... she is also hunting them.
" There ... you are. "
She says more words before walking towards the Wisp ... almost falling every time she swings the massive axe. She is a powerful warrior, that is obvious ... but on that drunk state ... the Wisp is already behind her firing another bolt.
And the dance continues. Every bolt shaves a little of HP, and makes her spin around ... Increasing her Dizziness, until it appears in from to her ... she thinks she won ... and shouts words ... probably victory ... But is a trap, the Wisp is out of her reach, and can float ... She steps forward to try to grab it ... and falls on the hole hidden by the shadows.
And the brave daring wisp fires another bolt on her back, to make sure she doesn't regain her balance back. The drunk Barbarian keeps screaming while falling, and keeps falling. A deep hole ... and the wisp glows ... Level up.
One less adept of the Light, and another boost for the Shadow side ... I can watch the Wisp a little more ... Bag, go down the hole, and eat the Barbarian ... at least we clean the dungeon, you get a little stronger, and there is always some loot ... even an oil lamp is good ...
The Wisp is not doing much, just rejoicing on the victory ... time to end it ... It is made of shadows ... so I try a new idea ... and eat him whole in shadow mode .... It needs mana to survive, I drain mana ... simple strategy. And her comes the message of the system.
" Quest ended. "
Two words ... I guess the system is trying to teach me this language ... End-ed ... Sounds right ... I have a few words, but no context to use them ... need to pay little more attention. I know you are listening, system. Is time for you do you part, and teach me properly.

Game Monster
From Creep to Boss
You come into being as a low-level monster, the kind heroes chew through like popcorn. You know the drill, whether you're a player yourself or an artificial intelligence, and you're sick of it. You set out on your own quest: to defeat the heroes at any cost (or at least be an epic boss somewhere down the line).
