“Compassion? Is that what compelled you to spare his life?” Abby asked, surprised.
After only a few days, she already knew me so well.
“Not compassion, no. Someone so similar to me is a precious commodity. It was either kill a man who could become my downfall, or spare him so he could join me.”
“Us, you mean,” Bertha corrected.
“Yes. Us. Zagorath.”
Abby tickled me with a tendril of consciousness. “Now what?”
There were dozens of answers to her questions. More evolutions. More minions. More upgrades. And a quest for revenge. Not to mention Lilith.
But there was something more important, greater than all my other plans. I needed more dungeon cores by my side. I couldn’t expect the others to fall into my lap as Abby had done, so I needed a little ingenuity.
I had the perfect idea, and Ralph Kraus might actually be the key to its success.
“Now,” I told my champions, “we become adventurers.”
