1 week before the gathering.
Argholas is back in his Lair. he know there is challengers in his dungeon but he just cannot ignore the event that his Mother entrusted to him.
now he is currently in the middle of training his new creature. the Purple Earth Human.
they are just like human, but with purple skin due to their home planet that also have a purple ground. since they are human, they have basic intelligence that allow them to learn a bit of complex task.
Argholas has decided to use the Treanting for any repeatable task. showing one way direction, announcing a place name, entertainment display, and any one task job.
as for Purple Human, they are taught the way to serve guest, make food from animals and seasonings, guide the guest around and many more.
a word Hotel appear in Argholas mind but he doesn't know what that means so he ignored it and focus on teaching his Lair Dwellers what they need to do.
Argholas also ask for recipe from Dungeon Core and it provides Argholas with quite a selection. Argholas just cannot put any more brain to consider which is good for what and just take everything and teach it all to the cooks Purple Human.
days pass by and finally it is the final day.
tomorrow the Gathering will be started!
Argholas run around his island, checking on everything. he check on every details of his buildings, especially the Temple. he check one every features and tools in his islands. bridges must be strong to hold as many weight as possible. buildings must be in their prettiest. and most important of all, his Lair Dwellers must do their best to impress his guest.
he just cannot wait for the Gathering to start!
***
Earth Dungeon, 1 day before Gathering.
his name is Ricky.
he is a cook and a food lover.
ask anything about food and its variations, Ricky will tell you everything about it in details.
his love for food finally turn him one day. when he was asked to become a cook adventurer by a group that want to break into a dungeon.
Ricky quickly approved the invitation and soon he and five others enter a dungeon. they dive quite deep and since Ricky is such a good cook, the morale of the group is always at its highest.
but Ricky secretly have a deep dark thought. he wants to be able to eat everything. be it items or humans, he want everything in his mouth.
and sadly, that deep dark thought manifested into his superpower. his head turn big and he also become something like a giant. standing at three meters tall with his head bigger than his chest.
this superpower Ricky got is unique. it allows him to eat literally anything and gain extra power from it, but it have a drawback. the superpower demand food constantly.
not long after he got his superpower, Ricky begin to eat his teammate. and he even take some time to cook them at one point. Ricky also eat the monster in the dungeon and grow stronger from it.
it happen for some time, from one group to another. Ricky keep changing group and each time he ended up eating his teammates.
until he finally captured and brainwashed into a puppet by Mad Sin.
he finally gain a bis of freedom when he enter the dungeon and the first thing he do is tasting everything around. he eat buildings, he eat mutant, he even eat spirits.
after almost a month in the dungeon, Ricky stumbled into something else. a weird hut.
there is nothing weird about this hut at first glance. only an ordinary wooden hut. what makes it weird is that this hut is in the middle of a ruins and it looks completely fine.
Ricky don't understand what is this hut but since it is here, he might as well try to eat it. but something else happen when Ricky touch the hut.
information suddenly flow into his brain and instantly he know what is this hut. this is the Hut of Worker. it will create anything using any available resources around based on the design given to them.
this information makes Ricky feel curious and so he begin to draw a pot. he draw it on a piece of flat stone using his nail and give it to the hut.
the hut then humming for a bit then ten Gnome like worker shot out from the hut. they rush around and gather some stuff then begin to build something. in a few minutes, a pot was magically created in front of Ricky while the gnome like worker rush back into the hut.
Ricky is excited to see his newly created pot and quickly draw another thing on a piece of flat stone. he gave it to the hut but this time there is no reaction. pissed because his excitement delayed, Ricky begin to slap the hut and then a new information flow into his brain.
first is that this hut cannot be affected by superpower, which means Ricky cannot it. Ricky is a bit sad at this but he can control himself for now.
second is that the hut under cool down period. the
cool down period is determined based on the complexity of the created items. for a pot, the cool down is just one hour.
the third information is that this hut can be moved, but can only functional if it is placed on the ground with enough resources around it.
Ricky is not someone that can have a strategic mind. he only think about what he can do right now. so the moving information is of no use to him.
what he currently thinking about is making more pictures while waiting for cool down period so that he can have all his cooking tools again. and maybe, he can have a proper meal soon. something like roasted mutant or steamed elf.
that is what Ricky is thinking with a drool on his face.
