Chapter 24

Was that all of them? What have your level ups brought?
For now...Vine Fiend.
You wait for the dust to settle, silently listening to the breeze whispering down the canyon. That seemed to be the last of them. Whew...Characters that high level should not be farming weed-fiends! The only reason you won was because you were prepared and took them one at a time. And you were pretty badass for a weed-fiend. But still, you won! In the heat of battle you missed your level up screen and now it shines before you:
Vine Fiend
Lvl: 13
Melee Attack: 28
Ranged Attack: 24
Weakness: Fire
Special Abilities:
Plant - heals 4 HP/sec when raining and regenerates 3 MP/sec when in direct sunlight.
Immune to poison
Earth Wade - can wade through the earth like water.
Absorb - can draw mana from target through contact.
Herbal flow - can heal an ally for 3HP/sec through contact.
Ability Gained!
Kindred: creatures sharing a type with you receive a bonus to HP and melee attack.
Wow. Looks like you were made to be a leader among plants at higher levels. Ironic, considering most of your vegetative cousins looked down on weed-fiends. You spawned in as the weakest plants in the game. But you weren't a weed fiend anymore! "Vine Fiend" Hm. Appropriate. You notice that, while you don't seem to have gotten much bigger your body has thickened, filling in the thin fibers with an almost muscular tone. You pose, flexing your newfound "muscles", and a muffled snort reminds you that you are not alone. Dana dear girl! You were marvelous! They didn't even see me coming. The humor drains from her face as she raises an eyebrow at you. Translation: It's not like I had a choice. You bastard. You release her from her bonds, letting her unsteadily get to her feet.
"You could have loosened the straps a little! My legs have been asleep since before the sun went down!" ...What?._ She rolls her eyes, "It's an animal thing. Y'know, we need our blood to circulate so we can function properly..." Oh. My bad. I didn't- "You could have asked! It wasn't like I was going to run away..." She slows, as though surprised by her own revelation. Really? You'd stay with me by choice? "She shifts uncomfortably, "Um...well...I mean....Rgh! It's not like I have anywhere to go anyway!" She stomps off towards the lair, leaving you more confused than before you asked. You think she has other reasons for staying but you're not sure... Sigh. Women. You slowly wade after her.
Day 3?
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).
