Next day**
Minos woke up to a brand new day, the events of last night still fresh in his head. Minos decided to rush through his task as always, but as he opened his window bar, he found nothing, no task at all. This was very surprising to him, but he was happy nonetheless.
"Guess more free time for me," Minos said, putting on his clothes and getting ready for school.
He wanted to drive his Lykan so bad, but he knew how flashy a Lykan was and decided to drive the Ferrari instead.
As he drove past the school gate, he drove to an underpopulated spot in the parking lot where he parked his car.
Walking to his classroom, he saw his usual mockers looking at him with disdain and fear. He thought maybe they got tired of gossiping and hence didn't pay much attention to it. Entering the class, Minos found the seats of Lin Chu and Zhang Han empty.
After the first lesson of the day, Minos started to feel dizzy and later fell asleep.
Location: Labyrinth* Knossos palace
"Welcome, my child!" a loud booming voice brought Minos back to consciousness, but he was no longer in his classroom. Minos found himself in a dark room with a minotaur's head placed in the center of it.
"You must be the heir of the Agger family, those weasels." The loud voice came again, this time more powerful than the last.
"Who are you?" Minos said after finding his voice.
"It seems Dario didn't teach you your history, that unfortunate bastard. My name is Minotaur. Find me, kid. Find the center of this dungeon." The voice said before becoming silent.
What kind of dream is this? Minos said,
not caring a bit about what the strange man said. All he wanted was to wake up. After trying for a long time to wake up, he was still in the dark room. He decided to check if he could access the window bar and he saw that he could. On the window bar, there were new missions:
1 Survive Labyrinth 2 Reach the centre of Labyrinth
Rewards: Learn your past :: complete:: /unknown/
Failure: Death!
Seeing the task, Minos's face dropped and immediately large numbers of crocodiles started to form off the walls. But the weird thing was that these particular crocodiles didn't walk on four feet. They stood on twos, holding a weirdly shaped baton.
The first thought that came to his mind was "RUN", but his feet just couldn't move no matter how much he tried. Seeing over 50 crocodiles charge at him, fear gripped him and he started looking for a way of escape. He quickly turned to the system's shop and saw that he only had 10 shopping coins. He entered the fighting section.
Zing Goring–150 shopping coins When anger rate passes 150 or host is on his last legs, host enters a partial or full transformation with stats increased by 1200%.
True strength of a beast-- 56 shopping coins When active, host's strength increases 60 times his original.
Beast mode-- Controlled partial transformation–5 shopping coins Host can change a part of his body as he sees fit to that of Minotaur.
Weapons Zing One slot available
Sword of Theseus–0 shopping coins Legendary weapon used to slay Minotaur
He immediately unlocked the sword of Theseus and controlled partial transformation.
Checking compatibility with sword of Theseus: unable to equip?!?!???!?!?!?!?!?

"Arrgh, you damned system," he said as he saw the first crocodile jumping to pounce on him. He unconsciously changed his hand to a claw, but before he could send out a punch or put up a defensive pose, he was already sent flying by the crocodile.
Landing on a pile of bones with blood gushing out of his forehead, he immediately understood that this was no ordinary dream and that he could actually die if he wasn't careful. Standing up, he saw another crocodile already in position to pounce on him. He immediately covered his face, waiting for an impact. But after waiting a few seconds, he realized that no impact had occurred. Removing his hand from his face, he saw a man who looked exactly like him—not battling, but assaulting the crocodile in a one-sided attack. The crocodile stood no chance.
After killing the 50th crocodile, the man turned to Minos and smiled before saying,
"You must be my great-great-great-grandson. My name is Dario. I see you are the wielder of Weapon V. Hmm, you must be a special one to be able to wield such a powerful weapon. Come, son, let's talk." He said, moving to the center of the room where the head of the minotaur was placed.
"Dario, I don't understand what's going on here and what's this Weapon V you mentioned." Minos asked, extremely confused.
"I will tell you everything, my son." He said with a smile as he started his narration.
"As you know, my name is Dario, the first shape-shifting minotaur. Aah, yes, we are not humans–that includes you. Or wait, I think you are human. No, you're the result of my research, 'the true hybrid'. You see, we minotaurs have no soul. Yes, we are soulless and that's our only weakness. Without a soul, we are just wild animals upon transformation into a minotaur. So I spent years trying to fix that. I later came up with a solution: the Weapon V. But it just simply refused to activate when I tried to activate it. So I experimented on a human, but it worked perfectly only that the human died within 12 hours. Years passed and my generation kept trying to activate it. Some even went overboard and tried many experiments involving humans. The gods were not happy with these results and they sent the god of thunder, 'Thor', to clear us minotaurs from the surface of the earth and destroy the Weapon V. Thor came with his warriors to earth and succeeded in wiping out over 50% of our kind. The 50% included my entire generation. The rest ran into hiding and left me while I decided it was time and I merged the Weapon V into my blood. Thor and I fought and in our last battle I was betrayed by my own special counsel. His name was Xemnu. He consumed my flesh and changed me to one of his minions. Thor, the god of thunder, sealed Xemnu away and left me to rot. Then Weapon V became active for the first time since it was created and reverted me to my normal form. But I was no longer a minotaur; I was a human. Years passed and I later fell in love with a beautiful damsel. We had two male children but before I could enjoy my retirement, the followers of Xemnu stormed my house killing my wife but before they could kill my children I forcefully activated the Weapon V and killed them all but I couldn't make it past 12 hours. I died." Dario said, completing his tale and gestured Minos to come closer. And Minos did.
He instantly used his claw and slashed Minos on his chest.
