"Why Me?"
Fushcia folds her arms and smiles, "Your senses in fights are key in this competition. I've been watching you for quite some time. You may be a bit reckless, but you are experienced."
Although he tried not to show it, receiving compliments from Fushcia made him want to lift his chest with pride. He's a bit weak to them, so a smile managed to creep out. Luckily, it wasn't big enough for Fushcia to notice. He puts his hand over his mouth and clears his throat to stop smiling "So Dungeon core...battle games? What is that?"
"In dungeon core battle games, once every year you'll compete with a random color core clan. you must strengthen your dungeon and yourself because the core of the competing clan will try to challenge your dungeon while you go into theirs." Fushcia points at his chest.
"Becoming a dungeon core means you will be a rock, however, you can turn into a human. You have no choice anyway because you need a fake body to get inside the opposing team's dungeon."
"Great, so I won't be a rock the whole time" He sighs of relief.
"Well, I can't guarantee it will be human. The green core clan for example makes their warrior out of enchanted tree wood that can't get easily burnt or hurt." She sits on the desk and crosses her legs.
"It's fine, I don't care if I'll be human again or not. As long as I can fight to a certain extent" He walks back over to his chair and sits down
"Good! Your soul will split into two when the game starts, so you know what's going on in yours and the competing dungeon. Nonetheless, your heart stays in the core forever. If the core is ever broken you will die."
"Never could have guessed" he smirks
Fushcia rolls her eyes and ignores his comment "Your dungeon will be sent to a random world and it will level up by your number of kills also the type you kill. It varies. Also, quests are given to you, but they aren't mandatory."
"What type of quests? Like, help a villager gets some bread? Or defeat 300 creatures?"
"I wouldn't know, but I heard that most of the time they don't get completed"
His eyebrow raises "interesting"
"Lastly, when you finally make your body, you can only use it 3 hours a day so you have to use it wisely. The rest you have to figure out on your own"
"Only 3? That's not enough"
"Hey, I don't make the rules"
He scratches his head and sighs "Fine, I guess. So, how many color core clans are there?
"Every 7 years a new representative is chosen for the 7 different color clans who all hold power elements. So All 7 colors are from the rainbow" She states
"What happens when you win or lose?"
"The winner of DC BG (Dungeon Core Battle Games) will be granted a wish and it can be anything they want. Also, you can choose to be reborn in your world or any different world as a second wish" She smiles
"If you lose..." She gets up and grabs a bag of chips from inside a drawer of the desk. "Let's use a bag of chips as an example" She opens it and presents the inside to Cyrus. He doesn't know where this is demonstration, but he lets it play out.
"Let's say the bag is the world while the chips represent someone's body and soul" Fuschia opens the bag a bit more, raises it in the air, and tilts it enough for all of the chips to fall in her mouth.
'D*mn, slow down.' He glances at the chips in pity. None of the chips had any chance to fall on the floor and escape due to her perfect angle on the bag.
After she finishes, she shows the inside. "What's in there now?"
"Nothing"
"Exactly, Where are the chips?"
"In your stomach"
"Right, so basically your soul will be lost forever with no possibility of going back to your world or reincarnation."
Cyrus smiles slightly, "You could have just said that. Why give me a whole demonstration?"
She nervously chuckles, "I was hungry"
"You don't say.."
"There are usually 6 colors, but a new one was just added this year. Can you guess what color?"
"Pink?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Fuschia makes a slightly disappointed face.
"It's a very debatable topic. If you search up the word rainbow on the internet you'll see numerous pictures of the rainbow without the color pink. They say that pink isn't a color" he discloses
"You hit the nail on the head." she smiles
"What made them finally add pink to the mix?"
She sighs "Lord R, Lord S and Lord C were tired of debating about it all the time"
"Who are they?"
"Oh yes! Sorry. Lord Rain, Lord Sun, and Lord Cloud are the ones who created DC BG. They started it thousands of years ago. They go by those names because the sun, clouds, and raindrops are all used to make a rainbow. Now, I'll tell you the colors and their powers;
Red- Heat and fire
Orange- metal and steel
Cyrus interrupts her, "Wait, isn't metal and steel the same thing?"
She shakes her head "Not at all. Steel is not metal, because it's more of a variant. Due to it being an alloy of iron with varying amounts of carbon content, it's not a pure element like metal. Also, steel is way stronger which why it's used more in guns, ships, or trains in your world. To get steel, you must have metal which is why they have both."
he nods his head "Ah gotcha". She resumes;
Yellow- earth and lightning
Green- wind and nature..
Blue- Ice and water. These two elements go hand in hand, just like the orange core's elements.
Purple- Poison and death
Pink-...."
She pauses at pink.
"What is the element for pink? Don't tell me it's love and friendship" he laughs, but he's actually nervous about her answer.
"The thing about that is.." she starts mumbling.
"What?"
"..don't.."
He leans closer to Fuschia and cups his hand to his ear."I can't hear you"
"I don't know!" She yells
"What do you mean you don't know?" Fushcia can see the irritation on Cyrus's face.
"I'm new, they don't tell me anything, and I'm not the one who receives the core's power. I have to wait for you to tell me."
"Okay.. so how do I become a core?"
Fuschia walks to a picture of a pink crown and lifts it. There lies a huge pink button labeled press me.
Cyrus chuckles 'What's up with her and these press me labels?'
She taps the button and immediately the ground starts to shake.
"What's happening!?"
She smirks and points to the back of the room, "Watch"
Up slowly comes to what appears to be a portal. A white square with pink symbols came from the ground.
"Please walk on the portal and I'll transfer you over"
Cyrus struts onto the portal and glances at Fuschia. Since Cyrus hasn't had a real conversation with anyone for a long time, he finds himself enjoying his time with Fuschia. He wants to know if they can keep in touch, but changes his mind. He never goes against his motto as it helps him feel better about being lonely. Not that he would never admit it.
'I'll only be here for 7 years anyways. That may seem long, but it can go by quick. We'll have to go our separate ways. There's no point in making friends'
"Alright, it's all set up! Are you ready?" She beams
"As I'll ever be" He smirks
"Alright you're off in 3….2… 1"
