The merchant

"Lin? How weird... There seemed to be a beast i met named alike, It was Already 10.000 years before now that roamed the seven seas to find someone... A paradox, Not like it would change much the current state of me, Even if there is almost a thousand spatial body like me " Said lain with an odd face, Remembering the paradoxes he met last time he journeyed back in time.

"Btw how's the progress lin? " Said Lain communicating through the system interface to the beetle worm that was currently underground.

"Quite, Good mister " Said the beetle worm with a joyfull aura, Looking down the pit it had made with its rear end.

"Ohh... " Said lain looking at the interface he had givin to lin with a smile on his face.

"I got one mush to subdue a hill of ants here " Said The beetle worm observing his first step in to becoming a Dungeon Boss.

"Oh, Where did you get the mush. Ain't that a similar creature to the mudkeep? It live's in hell " Said lain.

"I found a corpse of a human mage, Last time i got around the forrest. I ate the corpse? Thats all i know, But after a while i kept seeing weird creatures in my sleep, They kept coming, Growing, Dreading, Sorrowful, Afraid, Insane they made me scared... " Said The beetle worm in terror but just kept its joyfull aura untouched by his past.

"Depression 'Sigh ' I feel you though... Maybe when you ate the corpse it affected your will or mental state in which cases lead to your deprived state " Said lain as tears falls down his face, But with not much of reaction lain just scoffed it off.

"Yeah, I was too young... But past is past, I don't want to remember those days, But in the end i noticed it only gave me more reason to live " Said the beetle worm.

"Yeah... I wish i also had your way of thinking " Said lain sitting down.7

"Mister, weird words are appearing in front of me... " Said the beetle worm as another interface appears in front of it.

"Read it " Said Lain interested on what just appeared in front of the beetle worm.

"Ancient ancestor system! Is being obtained YES/NO " Said the beetle worm seeing the words float accordingly to the interface lain gave him.

"Ohh, Another plot armor modification... Say No, The thing i gave you is enough to susutain your desires and will, And besides who would want something like that, A plot-armor that just gives you some sort of power like domination " Said Lain without giving a care to the thing his freind found.

"Ok... No " Said the beetle worm as the plot armor disintegrates in to nothingness, The beetle worm continued his work without even regretting anything.

"Say, Who do you work for? " Said Lain to the merchant that was struck by bad luck.

"No One! I Work Alone " Said the merchant who was a male which age was around 13 to 15, black silk hair, fair skin it was the kind of guy you wouldn't expect to work alone in a world full of dangers.

"Ok? And why are you even outside lover boy... " Said lain to the merchant mockingly with a smirk in his face.

"To earn Money and Topple the one who took what was once mine " Said the merchant showing his high goals and vigor.

"Too Bad... Your under me now " Said lain Flicking the forehead of the merchant sending him deep underground with the beetle worm.

"FOOD! " Shouted the beetle worm rushing to the merchant who was suddenly teleported by lain.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! " Screamed the merchant as a rampaging worm like creature head its way for his head.

"... " The beetle worm stopped by a hair tread as it asserts its intention to the merchant boy.

"BOO! " Said the beetle worm at the merchant.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! " The merchant was squirming in fear as the beetle worm plays with its rear end causing never-ending cycle of earthquake in the underground.

"Run! I just love the face you make! " Said The beetle worm going wildly underground, Slithering without care if the whole underground goes to smithereens.

"Chomp! Chomp! Chomp! " The beetle worm was restless in pursuit.

"Shit! Shit! Where's my shak " Said The merchant searching everywhere looking for his bag of holding.

"Stop It lin " Said Lain communicating in the interface.

"Hmm, And Why should I? " Said The beetle worm to the interface.

"Now Is the chance! " Said the merchant seeing the beast looking at some random direction.

"EAT THIS! " The merchant trowing some sort of vials that was tainted in a red dew.

"I Said stop it already! " Said Lain catching the vials and making it disappear in to nothingness with ease.

"... " The merchant didn't stop trowing hands with lain as it persistently trows his vials in continuous pace.

*Sigh * Lain was silently watching as his clone slowly deforms the vials to his will.

"Mister? " The beetle worm was confused seeing another alike to lain.

"Yeah? Just go do your thing, I'll got it from here... And one thing " Said lain in the interface.

"Got it! " Said the beetle worm receiving a quest from lain.

"Now what do you want! " Said Lain going underground.

"Why are there two of you? And Did i ever give you the permission to have me as a worker! " Said The merchant pointing at the two lain's with confusion.

"Loverboy you wouldn't be much of an Arsh? And Another thing see the world around you if i did the right thing... Remember that " Said Lain pinning down the merchant with his mystic filled hands.

"Let Me GOO! " Said the merchant trying to get up from Lain's suppression.

"SEE? " Said lain as he goes back to his memories and clumps up information that will break the merchant's perception.

"Shit! " Said the merchant reluctantly as the information lain gave him was too much to accept all at once.

"Thats just how the world works... " Said Lain going back to his room in the overworld...
