Alfred Winson had at first been confident in the gremlins capabilities to kill the structures inhabitants.This changed when he heard the sounds of battle and began recieveing notifications.
[Your gremlin has died.Please find a way to bring the corpse within the dungeons territory to digest it]
[Your gremlin has died.Please find a way to bring the corpse within the dungeons territory to digest it]
Alfred recieved three more notifications that said the same thing.He worries escalated when he realised he only had five gremlins and all of them had died.
"What the hell went wrong?" Alfred hadn't seen the gremlins in action just yet but he assumed that five of them should be full on capable of dispatching an ordinary human.
They were creatures that supposedly had faster then human reflexes and movement speed.They even spawned in armed with weapons.How was that not enough?
Realisation dawned on Alfred as he realised the residents of the building would come down and destroy his core.
Fear invaded Alfred's mind and the coming wait and tension only made it worse.This fear turned to be somewhat unfounded when he saw Rob Venesse.
Rob Venesse was in a sorry state and was slowly bleeding out.When Rob raised his head to look at the dungeon core on the table Alfred immediately recognised him.
Alfred remembered him as a small store owner.He used to sell magazines,cigarettes and fizzy drinks.Alfred remembered coming to his store to buy fizzy drinks.
Alfred was now fuming with hatred due to this fact.He had hoped that the system was wrong about the cabin belonging to Rob Venesse.The man who he thought was a good and innocent person was part of a cult that brutally kills people.
Once a gremlin spawned in Alfred instantly ordered it to kill Rob...slowly.As soon as Rob died his body appeared to dissolve and some sort of red energy made its way to the dungeon core.As soon as it was absorbed into the core an unbelievable sense of pleasure and satiation washed over Alfred.It was almost addictive.

"Those are useful skills especially the scion creation skill." Alfred was pleased with his first harvest.He had just barely managed to kill Rob and was saved by a gremlin that just spawned in.He would need more power in order to have his revenge.
Alfred immediately focused on the lone gremlin and tried to use his skill to create a scion but it didn't work.
"There probably needs to be more gremlins for it to work." Alfred reached his conclusion and waited for four more gremlins to spawn.
"Now then." Alfred used the scion creation skill and poured his mana into the gremlin that killed Rob due to its contribution.
During the process there were multiple noticeable changes happening to the gremlins body.Its body grew and lengthened while its scaly skin developed light green pock marks in some areas.Its claws on its hands and feet lengthened and widened at their bases.Its eyes gleamed with new confidence and knowledge.
When the mana Alfred was able to pour into the gremlin reached its bottleneck the gremlin was three times the size of a regular gremlin.Its muscles were more heavily defined and it was no longer as scrawny as before.
It immediately kneeled and expressed its gratitude.
"I thank you for this gift and I shall not waste it master." The gremlin spoke with a surprising amount of clarity and loyalty.
"Oh...you can speak" Alfred was taken aback by this.
"Yes so I can better communicate with you and relay your orders lord dungeon core." The large gremlin spoke with utter devotion and worship in its eyes.
"Perfect then I shall grant you a name and the gift of immortality.Your name shall be Gregor." The gremlin hummed in satisfaction at its new name and felt its power slightly increase while Alfred designated its respawn point in the kitchen of the luxury cabin.
