Call me Master!

Deep in the night inside the Jura Forest

Near a large tree there is a long trail of blood and at the end of the trail a body can be seen. It's a miserable figure that is covered in blood, cuts and bruises in its whole body; it's not an exaggeration to conclude that the person is dead.

The person laying there is of course Dylan.

"Father! Grandpa said that I could be the strongest person in the world!"

"That's right Dylan, you have the capability to do that because you're a Chen!"

While unconscious he dreamed about his childhood, when he still dream of being a cultivator and being the strongest person in the world, just like what his Grandpa talks about.

"But Dylan, I don't want you to be the strongest if you're just going to die huh!"

"Of course Father! I can't protect you if I'm dead right?"

***

After few minutes have past Dylan slowly opens his eyes but he can't feel any strength to move and all he can do is open his mouth.

"Am I alive?!'

It's already been five hours since James' group made their way outside the forest and Dylan was hit by the Ogre.

[Of course you're alive!]

He heard a sudden voice of a man; it's the voice he heard before he passes out earlier.

"Sir! Who are you? Where are you? I want to thank you!"

He need to give his thanks, whatever the reason is, he feel indebted to the man who saved him.

[I'm Purgatory and I'm here inside of you!]

The voice spoke to him, only in his head.

The Purgatory Bird that is supposed to be inside the Dungeon is the one that saves Dylan but now it is in spirit form.

"Inside of me?!"

Well he can't see the person who is speaking but that doesn't mean he will just accept what he say.

[Yes, I'm inside of you!]

"Even if you say it again, how I'm I going to believe that?"

[So you don't remember? We made a contract aren't we?]

"A contract?"

He suddenly remembers a memory of the conversation they have before he passed out.

'That's right! It's all true'

"I believe it now! Sorry Sir for doubting you! But is what you said about the condition for the contract all true?"

[Of course that's all true]

[I only want two things from you:

One let me reside inside of you until I regain my strength and complete my evolution.

Two, I want you to #############..... That's all]

[I also take the liberty of reading your memories while you're unconscious and from your memories I can already tell that you desire strength the surpasses anyone]

"Is that wrong?"

[Of course not, rather I'm quite pleased on knowing that! Because our objectives align with each other]

"But, just how am I going to be strong? I can't even move here!"

[What are you talking about? I'm here right?]

***

With the help of the energy that Purgatory bird shares with him, Dylan regain his bodily functions and now are able to walk.

Because it's already night it's impossible to return to the town and so he is now walking towards a certain cave that the Purgatory bird says to him.

"What should I call you? Purgatory? Sir? Or you even a male?"

With its voice being like that, he assumes that the Purgatory is a man but he is not even sure and might offend him for that.

[Call me Master and starting now you're my disciple] Earlier it doesn't seem to care about Dylans' attitude and whatever he call him but now its tone became authoritative one.

"Yes Master! And Master, why are you inside of me?" This question is something he is curious about because he never heard of a powerful bird that has no body.

[Let me tell you Kid, I was the Boss of the Dungeon inside this forest and I'm undergoing my evolution for some time now but there's a hindrance, a group of high level ants dare to gang up in killing me but before they could even enter I already know their plan because of my divine sense and so I make a counter measure for that! And that is you!]

"Can't you just kill them?"

If the Purgatory bird kills those ants that he said then all problem are solved right.

[Even if I can, its better this way because even without their interference my evolution can't succeed anyway and I might even lost my life]

"Why? "

[Because chaos energy in this dungeon and this world is impure!]

"Impure?" He doesn't understand anything about the chaos energy being impure.

[It's impure because it is tainted by the Earths' energy; this is also the reason why there is a little amount of Earths' energy for the cultivators to absorb!]

From Dylans' memory he already know that he came from cultivators family and so he some knowledge to them.

"What do you mean by that?" Dylan came from Chen family so it's understandable that he is interested on what the reason why they can't feel the Earths' energy anymore.

[Kid, Let me tell you how a high level dungeon is created]

Even after all this years the knowledge about dungeons are minimal, some are classified and confidential.

[It is with the use of chaos energy!, the higher the amount of concentrated energy in an area the higher the rank a dungeon will be created and what do you think will happen if the energy is not only in large amount but also so pure?]

"A much higher rank dungeon will be created!"

[Yes, that is right and do you wonder why there's no higher rank dungeon than Class S?]

"It's because the Earth's energy prevented it to!"

[Correct! And that's the reason why Cultivators can't feel the Earths' energy anymore; it became something that acts as impurities to chaos energy so that it can't form a much higher class dungeon]

"I get that already but how can I be strong?" The reason for the disappearance of Earth's energy is of course interest Dylan, but how will knowing that change him and make him stronger?

[Haha, don't be impatient! You dream about being a cultivator right? What if I can purify the Chaos energy for you to absorb? What do you think?]

"WHAT?!!"
