As they open their eyes they start to feel things they've never felt before. Their senses at an all time high, they can feel the surge of energy bleeding from the cores within the spiders, and within each other. They turn to each other and become suprised at the new characteristics. Paku with a red tint in his eyes and a floating headband that was a dirty yellow, while Dom had hazy black trails flowing off the corners of his eyes, and the color scheme of his clothing consisted of black and dark purple.
Paku:"Dom…why the hell are your clothes darker than you?"
Dom:"you're one to talk, mr. Fake Gucci headband. And i'm suprised you arent dead, all things considered."
Paku:"you got more injured than I did"
Dom:"Should i remind you who got down fir- You know what? We'll settle this when we get rid of all these damn spiders"
The spiders continue to screech but their hesitation to attack only shows Dom and Paku that they can sense the new power awakened within them
Dom:"you thinking what im thinking?
Paku:"they're obviously scared."
Sarukami's voice echoes in Pakus head. "Since you are still far too weak to inherit my full power, i can only let you use one attack use it well"
Kurokage does the same with Dom
"Since this is a dire situation, and you've only partially awakened you only have the strength for one attack, dont mess it up"
Dom and Paku grin and speak simultaneously
"One attack is all I need!"
Dom and Paku stand up and stand next to each other back to back, Dom putting his hands up towards the spiders and a crackle of electricity starts to form on his hands
Dom:"Shadow Creation: Spark Field of Darkness!"
Black lightning starts to crawl forward and spreads out towards the spiders electrocuting them, and instantly disintegrates them.
Paku makes an air staff that solidifies as he stares down the arachnids
Paku: "Monkey's Nature: Raging Whiplash!"
Giant raging winds flew at sound breaking speeds killing all of the spiders and spreading their body parts and blood having it paint most of the room. Finally getting rid of all of the enemies.
Dom and Paku stand still dumbfounded at their newly obtained powers. They turn around and look at each other.
Dom: "Yo….that was AWESOME AS HELL!"
Paku giggles slightly to himself "I can't take you serious right now"
Dom looks at paku in complete confusion "what? Why?"
Paku: "you kinda have spider guts on you" Paku laughed
Dom stands there with a blank face slowly making a disgusted face
and started rapidly wiping his clothes and eventually turned around to vomit
Dom: "ughhh…never use that move near me again…"
Laughing hysterically Paku speaks through his laughter
Paku: "look man, you got in the way"
Dom: "i was literally standing behind…" Dom notices the the notification provided by the dungeon
Dom:"…Shit"
Paku:"What?"
Paku slowly looks up as the time limit for completion of the dungeon counts down

They both look at each other.

Dom:"at least we got something out of it"
1
Paku:"I wanted the money though"
0
Dom:"same"
And then they are flung violently by giant winds to the outside world landing on their face. As they both lie in the grimy dirt, dejected and disappointed they stand up and dust themselves off.
Paku:"ugh, man. Right after we got this new power too."
Dom:"I know. But hey, now we can be officially licensed adventurers right?"
Paku:"i guess. We should go home first though"
Walking through the forest, they continue to talk about their new abilities, the gods they talked to and gained their power from. As they make it through the clearing, they are met with lights the shined as if they were trying to blind whoever looked, simple homes lined with wood and built with stone. The occasional market, bar, and restaurant were crowded with people swarming around buildings like flies swarm dropped food. They lived in a small town outside of the main kingdom of Geass Lead by the beastmen, they rule over all of the human continent, with the assistance of some of the old human members of the royal family.
Dom:"oh dude, your fake gucci headband went away, so did that red tint in your eyes."
Paku:" yeah I just noticed that your eyes are back to normal too- wait wait wait since when were my eyes red!!?"
Dom:"didn't i tell you?"
Paku:"obviously not, id remember if you did"
Dom:"…no I definitely told you"
Paku:"you really didn't"
Dom:"whatever you say dude. You just got bad memory"
Paku:"alright bruh,it's whatever for now."
They keep walking.
Paku:"Hey look"
Paku points to a fancy, pure white and ocean blue carriage being drawn across the town
Dom:"must be one of royal family coming to collect something, or someone. What do you think they are?"
Paku:"humans definitely. Beastmen like walking, and they definitely wouldn't have a horse drawn carriage."
Dom"true."
Paku:"oh look, they're coming out"
The carriage door opens, and out comes a human in silk, velvety blue clothing, with a white drape lined in dazzling gold.
Zephyr:"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and all creatures of the sort. My name Is Zephyr Niltust The third, and my father has entrusted me to watch over you all in his absence."
Dom:"not like they were doing much watching either way"
Zephyr:"While he is away, i will be doing my utmost best to uphold his name, and improve this area as best as i can."
Dom:"im suprised he's not taxing us"
Zephyr:"However it will come with a fee"
Paku: "spoke too soon"
Zephyr:"guards will be coming around monthly to collect a tax, as long as you pay it in full, this town will greatly improve."
Dom:"she shouldn't have the power to do this."
Paku:"instigate?"
Dom: "with added ignorance"
They both walk over to Zephyr, at the same time knights start to block him
Zephyr: "Ah I recognize you two from the news a couple of years ago"
Zephyr points to Paku
Zephyr:"The offspring of a royal who quickly abandoned the mother and the child"
Zephyr points to Dom
Zephyr:" And a child orphaned at a young age taken in by the mother of the other. Both end up coreless and weak. I assure you neither of you will be a problem, correct?"
The town, once bustling with activity, fell into a silent crowd as they listened to Zephyr. That whisper then turned into a bundle of different murmurs. Both Dom and Paku fell silent.
Zephyr:"Tell you what, since you two are already in an unfortunate situation, ill make the tax especially low for-"
At that moment, the ticking bomb that was Dom and Paku exploded. As they shoved the guards aside with overwhelming speed and strength and punch Zephyr back into his carriage
Dom:"Dont you ever talk down to us like that ever again, you damned royal"
Paku:"I dont care what you say about me, but when you talk about my mother and Dom like that, you're lucky that you have all these guards to protect you."
Dom:"although they obviously don't amount to much."
Guard1:"You dare touch the prince in such a violent manner! You're both under arrest, you'll both be beheaded-"
Zephyr:"Enough!"
He wobbles to stand up, his nose dripping with blood
Zephyr:"I didn't expect commoners to be civil anyway, and I wouldn't want to send their severed heads to the mother. Lest she behead herself
Paku:"Bastard-"
The knights continue to defend Zephyr, this time with more resolve than earlier.
Dom sighs and grabs Paku's shoulder
"Let it go Paku, lets go home"
Paku:"…tch, whatever."
They both turn and start towalk away and head home, but then Dom stops.
Dom:"Zephyr…was it?"
Zephyr turns his head towards Dom, wiping the blood rolling off his nose.
Zephyr:"What of it?"
Dom turns around, his dreads covering up one of his eyes. Glaring at Zephyr with murderous intent.
Dom:"We're going to become one of the top Adventurers, overtake your fathers throne, and kill you" He points at Zephyr slowly, but menacingly "Prepare yourself"
There was silence among everyone in the crowd, quickly broken by laughter and the crowd repeating the phrases
"I knew they were crazy, but they're dumb too?"
"How are two coreless idiots going to overpower an entire royal family?"
"The mom must be embarrassed to have idiotic sons like these"
Dom:"You think I'm joking?!"
Dom yells loud enough to stop all the laughter and send a chill down the entire crowd
Dom:"We're going to be the Greatest adventurers to ever exist, and make this world equal for everyone who lives in it, regardless of class, power, or-"
Zephyr starts to laugh hysterically
Zephyr:"Do you really hear whats coming out of your mouth? You. have. no. Coooores. I bet you can't even survive a regular dungeon by yourselves!"
Zephyr dawns a smug smile and clears his throat
Zephyr:"Attention everyone das, I have a proposal for these two."
Everyone in the crowd turned their heads to Zephyr
"To Honor these two fully, I'd like to give them a time limit and a challenge to become starting adventurer's. In three months from now, they will return to the Adventurers Guild and challenge both of my finest knights. If they win, they are allowed a spot in the guild. If they fail, they are banished from this Kingdom and may never return home. Do we have a deal, peasants?" He says glaring at Dom and Paku
Dom:"you don't even have to ask."
Paku:"We accept the challenge . Just be prepared to lose"
Dom and Paku continue to walk away while Zephyr mutters one last statement under his breath.
Zephyr:"Hmph, i look forward to seeing the bloodbath."
