The Mimic wins ?

Saw it happen so many times, the silly adventurer think that knows all about mimics ... So I showed it to her.

" You're ... not like ... the others ... " She says facing my true form, but is too late ... for her. I stand up, and let my tentacles drain the rest of the mana ... and feel it ... Level up again ? This adventurer is not like the others, so I move all tentacles to maximum absorption, before it can recover ... The shower of the mana filling my empty belly makes me remember the battle.

It was a good plan, she tossed a stone first to check if the treasure box was a mimic, and after seeing the tentacles getting closer, she didn't moved. Her plan was very obvious, when I saw the the old lamp on her hand.

I gave the command for my minion close the mouth, when the oil lamp hit the shell, she knew that something was wrong ... but it was too late. When she felt the weakness, instantly turned around, and saw that the wall behind her, wasn't a wall ... but me.

It was very easy, adventurer think that mimics are easy targets ... they have no idea that one mimic is rarely alone. From a certain point of view, the whole Dungeon is a mimic, and the adventurers enter it's mouth without being **** ... in the name of loot ... What's this ?

" Light element detected, eat ? " Stupid system, a minion lives to eat, yes ... eat all the whole world ... never tasted light ...the feeling is ... almost nothing ... I remember when I was a low level mimic, that all call a small treasure box ... And after a few meals I became a gig treasure box ... and now ... I can move ... Another message ?

" Light element absorbed. The path to resist the Darkness is open. Do you wish to serve the Light ? " What kind of question is that ? Dumb system, if I serve the light I can't eat the light followers ... I could try serve the Evil, they might eat their kin ... but is best not take chances. Not going to answer your question ...

" All conditions met. Stand by to receive a mission. " What ??? No answer is an answer for this stupid logic system ? I guess some tasty dishes are waiting ... Is time to loot the heroine of the Light ... a small vial ... Just a little taste ...

" Poison detected, low dose ... processing ... minor poison resistance acquired. " Dumb system continues to spill words, and expects that a monster understands it ... Another taste ... the flavour changed ... this happens a lot lately. Sweet flavours, acidic flavours, bitter flavours ... after a little they fade away ... Evolution might not be a good idea. But for now, is a path. And with all this mana drained from the fallen hero ... I can make my plan work.

Having a huge body is asking to be hunted, so first I'll eat this corpse ... Don't worry heroine, I'll make a good use of you ... from my point of view ... Enjoy entering the Realm of the Light, or whatever fairytale someone told you to dive alone inside a dungeon ... The organic matter is enough to make a small vessel, using her vessel will call to much attention ... but a vessel based on her is possible now that I level up ... and is done.

She was a heroine, and looked like a rookie ... a simple strategy to pass unnoticed ... I look like a thief, and my minion mimic that I saved, is under my command, but I only need the mouth ... the rest of the body ... is a bag ...

Adventurers use a bag of holding ... I carry a bag of devouring. For anyone is just a bag ... the idea to have a pocket dimension that fits all is interesting, but for now, this is all I can use ... Using My minion to carry things is also a simple way to keep my treasures protected ... Is time to see my loot ...

Several oil lamps ... the Heroine carried only this ... Arrogant champion of the Light ... I'm almost regretting ending her to gain so little ... but I liked the idea ... tossing an oil lamp is a good way to fake a fireball ... Deep inside I always wanted to be like them. An Adventurer is a mimic that walks, and collects all in sight ... That's how I see them.

And with my new bag ... I can collect a lot of things ... Another message ... Let me see what the system wants ...
