You could use all the help you can get.

In the end, you decide there is more potential reward available than potential losses. If you don't speak, then you go on as is, probably being swarmed by legions of adventurers the moment you are discovered and dying forever. If you do, the worst case is someone conquers you or something, which would just set you back to being a somewhat normal skeleton again. It seemed like the better fate of the two.

Determination fills you as you send a new message to the chat.

{Netherus} Actually, I could use any teaching I could get, I am new to this whole Raid Boss thing.

{Grave_Keeper} Yeah, I suppose you would be

{Grave_Keeper} Does make me wonder, how did you manage to get to it fast enough to join as one?

{Gold_Blade} Isn't it obvious? The new guy was added with the update, so they just made him a Raid Boss

{Final_Throne} Unlikely, even I wasn't added as a Raid Boss and I am quite famous around here for getting a lot of pandering by the gods.

You struggle on how exactly you want to continue from here. You didn't know what you should reveal, as revealing the wrong things could put you in a bad spot. Nevertheless, you went on auto pilot for a bit after seeing a new message.

{Gold_Blade} Ugh, still. Things were better back in the old days just after the 3rd event. When I came to be, I had to put in so much work to become a map worthy boss. And now, they just make new guys and give them dungeons!

{Netherus} You're from after the third event?

{Gold_Blade} Yeah, so be sure to show your respect to your elders!

{Netherus} I'm older than you.

{Grave_Keeper} Well damn!

{Final_Throne} We got a veteran in here, huh?

{Gold_Blade} Wait what? How old are you then?

{Netherus} Second event, first message about a world event I ever saw was the global message about the Shattering.

{Grave_Keeper} HOLY SHIT! This guy is older than you Lyth!

You grimace at the last message. You feel like you went too far with that one. You begin to panic slightly, before realizing there isn't too much harm that can come from this, you can still recover most likely. So, you return your attention back to the messages, determined to stick it out until you can finish this time.

{Gold_Blade} Oh... uhhhhhhhh

{Final_Throne} Heh, mister goody two shoes bit off more than he could chew, huh?

{Netherus} It's fine, they are my elder in boss time.

{Grave_Keeper} So what, did you get a boost in the update?

{Netherus} Not quite, I just managed to get a crystal for the first time.

{Gold_Blade} Wait, what do you mean get a crystal for the first time?

{Grave_Keeper} Are you saying you reached Raid Boss in like a single hour?

{Final_Throne} Let the man speak.

{Netherus} Sort of? It's hard to explain as I clearly have an abnormal situation.

{Final_Throne} Understatement of the century if you are saying what I think you are.

{Netherus} I am not sure to be honest, but would you mind if I tried to get some advice?

{Grave_Keeper} Go right ahead, I have hordes of knowledge I am dying to share!

{Final_Throne} Eh, I have nothing better to do. Let's start with that, as much as minion automation seems nice to get a break, it quickly leaves you board out of your mind.

{Gold_Blade} Says the Boss with the highest minion count of all Raid Bosses...

You let yourself relax. It really did seem like you would be fine as long as you didn't do anything monumentally wrong. They seemed welcoming, and none of them struck you as power hungry enough to search the desert for your little cave. So, you carried on, trying to get any tips you could.

{Final_Throne} Hey, if anything that makes me the most qualified to say it.

{Grave_Keeper} I suppose that checks out, but also keep in mind he is an undead, so he probably has a hoard mechanic.

{Netherus} Actually I don't think I do. I might though, the menu for the dungeon is rather confusing at times.

{Gold_Blade} I can feel that, the menu used to be super archaic, but the gods seem to have used the update to streamline it a bit. Shortened down to just one tab for building, another for resources, and one last one for minion management.

{Netherus} Really? I have like 5 separate menus available, and the messages keep saying there are more to come as I fix the place.

{Final_Throne} Fix the place? Did you end up in a ruin or something?

{Netherus} You could say that? I thought it was just kinda a cave but clearly it was more than that.

{Grave_Keeper} Lucky! That usually means you get some unique structures that have some good bonuses...

{Gold_Blade} Eh, I almost feel bad for 'em. Means he doesn't have as much freedom to build what he wants to.

{Final_Throne} Nevertheless, would explain the sudden Raid Boss title, some locations just give titles with their acquirement. Don't think I know of a prebuilt Raid Dungeon though.

{Netherus} Well now you have I suppose.

{Final_Throne} Fair enough.

{Grave_Keeper} Damn man, where do you even find a place like that?

{Gold_Blade} From the sound of it, the middle of bum-fuck nowhere. Have you ever heard of Vastitas?

{Grave_Keeper} Can't say I have to be honest

{Final_Throne} It's the desert, one of the largest areas in the whole game. The place got pretty abandoned after its event though.

{Netherus} Vastitas had an event?

{Final_Throne} Yeah, first world event ever. Ended in a few different battles, biggest of which was hands down the whole thing with the two Lizardmen

{Netherus} Wait, do you mean Katash and Caluo?

{Final_Throne} Yeah... How do you know those two when you don't even know Vastitas had an event?

You stopped yourself from continuing from there. If you are fully honest it could give away your location, which was becoming more and more clear was very important. As much as you felt good about these guys, it isn't worth risking the situation.

Still, you have now dug yourself into a whole, and you need to find a way out of it...
