After 3 minutes of walking the first thing I see once I reach the top of the stairs is a giant stone door. This is a dungeon right?
{ Of course it is }
Then how have I already managed to reach the boss room after 2 fights?!
{ This isn't the boss room, that's the room after this one }
And this room is??
{ Its a rest-room, here you can naturally replenish your health, stamina, and mana. It also contains loot}
I turn my back to the door and push back. It creaks open and thuds when it hits the wall, showering dust upon us. The girl starts squirming, for a second there I forgot she was dying. In the middle of the room there's a pool of water with a mossy pillar sticking out of it.
What's that?
{ if you rest in that pool, injury and fatigue will leave you }
Can you drown?
{ what kind of...}
I throw the girl in without a care in the world as I walk past it. In the back of the room there's a table with 3 boxes on it. I open them and examine the contents.
Ring: uncommon
Magic gear: heal type
- Can turn 1 mana into 1 point of health per second.
Ring: uncommon
Magic gear: Attack type
- Can increase strength and endurance by 6 each at the cost of 15 mana. Lasts for 7 minutes.
Staff: uncommon
Magic gear: dark type
- _ -15% mana cost to all spells. +23% power to all dark magics.
affects only work when using dark magic.
The healing ring was a small, simple, silver ring. The attack power boosting ring looked like a wedding ring and the dark magic staff looked like a burnt tree root.
System, can I use magic?
{ of course, you have a ridiculous amount of mana thanks to your intelligence stat so it would be a waste if you never learned any}
Aren't you a science based system?
{ yes.... and?}
Nothing, so how can I learn magic?
{ there are many ways, you can get it from a skill book, a power gem infusion, or just learn it from someone else }
Can I use you to..... copy the dark magic skill from this staff?
{ you haven't learned the required skill yet }
Oh yeah that reminds me

Oh sh*t, I'm feeling it!!!!
I wake up and find myself, face down, on the thighs of the girl I had previously saved.
Because of course I have.
"Uhhhh, care to explain whats going on" -- muffled.
" Eeeep, uh, I just saw you passed out in the corner of the room covered in blood... so I washed you in the mana pool and let you rest head first here.... on me "
" Why?"
" Well I assume your the adventurer that saved me....?"
" Totally "
she shoves me off of her, gets up, and walks away.
" what'd you do that for? "
" you're fine now so there's no reason for it anymore"
" Why did you rest my head on your lap?"
" My mother told me that heals guys right up"
I don't think that's what she meant.
" Well for your information I was fine "
" How was I supposed to know that?"
" Anyways, Thanks I guess "
" yo.... you are welcome"
okay, you all expected this but.... she has gigantic jugs. The lab coat I gave her almost isn't enough to cover herself up.
"Listen there's a boss fight up ahead so ima need you to help out " what?! no, we can just go out the other way"
" Yeah, there's a huge pile of ruble a few rooms back from my explosive entrance "
" Wha... we,,,,, we're going to die"
" Not if we work together to clear this dungeon"
" we can't... we're both to weak to take on a Hob "
"What are your stats?"
" uhhm"
" okay here's the plan, join my party"
" what good will..."
" just do it"
" whatever, we're going to die anyways"
{{ Cammy wishes to join your party// Option 1 .... generates a regular temporary party pact.\\ // Option 2 .... generates a permanent party pact ( costs 45 mana ) negotiator sets the terms\\}}
wow, that's broken as f*ck. I can literally just make her my slave.
{{ Option 2 chosen. permanent party pact Initiating }}
a glowing piece of paper materializes in the air along with a golden quill.
" sign here "
She signs her name on the paper and both it and the quill fly into her heart.
{{ xp share. 30 percent [[ both ways ]] }}
" What was that "
" 30% xp share "
" what did you say?!"
" 30% xp share "
"..... are you actually a high ranking mage?"
" No I'm a scientist"
" A what now?"
" I use science "
" Is that a kind of magic???"
" No, in actuality it is stronger than magic "
"Impossible, there's no such thing!"
" Can magic explain the impossible"
" No, but anything we don't know is usually just a part of magic... like why rainbows always show the same pattern no matter what,,, hah,,, can your science explain that?"
" Yes actually, that's one of the easiest things to explain. you only need a basic understanding of science to come to a proper conclusion "
" Oh really, what about feelings " she asks in a mocking tone.
" That too, its just chemistry "
" Chem..... alchemy you mean?"
" No, chemistry is its own thing "
" who are you??"
" That's not important right now, we should focus on killing that hob so we can leave this place"
" were going to die you know"
"No, we ain't"
