Chapter 7 - Maw and Morse

Several weeks of training my typo insued the name change of Branch to Tune, Cannon had me training every day to test the limits of my typo. Rather than test it on stronger monsters every day, we received government issued "genetically modified" creatures that progressively got smarter as the weeks went along, eventually, we did see a slight improvement.

"Cannon, do you think this is making a difference? The training I mean."

"Of course! People used to think you were the only person in town to be born typoless, but now your a local celebrity! People all over town are talking about your unusual ability to put monsters to sleep rather than fight them! And the more they see you using it in the dungeon, the more they talk!"

"But is fame really that great?"

"Well..."

"I just don't know if I want strangers to know all about me and be asking me questions in the dungeon."

"Well at least your not labeled as a useless moron right?"

"Good point. But how are we supposed to earn money when we arnt killing monsters, but rather, putting them to sleep?"

"We put em to sleep, then kill em!"

"Right."

We spent then next few hours training my typo seeing no improvement until one monster didn't go to sleep, but rather, sat down. We wondered what had happened and I (out of curiosity) crept toward the wide eyed creature.

"What are you doing?"

"This could be a leap in my typo! It's not attacking us or even showing signs of anger. It seems... tame."

"That doesn't mean it is."

"Whatever, your reckless all the time."

I inched closer and the monster moved forward, it was moving toward me. I decided to take out a peice of food and hold it in my hand, the animal inched toward my hand and snatched up the food, but did not move back, it even started to lick my hand!

"Seems tame to me!"

"Yeah I guess so!"

"Can we keep it Cannon?

"Keep a monster?"

"It seems I tamed it, I don't know if I can tame another one, but this one is fine."

"I don't see why not."

And so we kept maw, and yes we named it maw, it had quite a mouth, it seemed right. Once word spread around town that I had tamed a monster and kept it, I became one of the country's biggest celebrities, I couldn't replicate it, but I had done it. I moved out of my small town and into a bigger city, we traveled through the dungeon to get there. Luckily all dungeons are connected one way or another so it was just a matter of directions.

"Well Cannon. We're here, we're in the big city, the capital city of Dem-one, Morse, a highly advanced city with a lot of shops and entrances to the dungeon."

"It's amazing! And to think we're here because of you!"

"Heh, thanks."

"Well what first captain awesome?"

We should find a hotel, unless we want maw to freeze out here.
