Emery was heading back to meet Wrangler when a translucent screen appeared in front of him.

"Impossible, Gramps can't be killed,"
Immediately Emery saw this he ran back to the level where he last saw Rasol.
Rye lay on the ground, his heart pounding as he waited to be killed. A screen popped up in front of him. He could not see but he heard the chime of the system.

He heard another chime and Rye lifted his head. Though he could not see, he felt the light of the system screen on his face.

[Dungeon System Unlocked]
[Accept] [Decline]
Rye waved his hands over the screen and accidentally his hand brushed over the decline button. The system screen then faded leaving Rye in the dark.

[Dungeon System]
[Declined]
'What is going on? Is he not going to kill me anymore?' Rye thought, he slithered on the ground eventually touching Rasol's body.
The system screen popped up again.

[Offer Expires in 60 Seconds]
[Cancel]
The screen had a countdown timer of sixty seconds. Rye waved his hand over the cancel button and the countdown stopped.
[SYSTEM]
[Dungeon System Unlocked]
[Accept] [Decline]
The notification appeared again. Rye reached out to the light of the screen. His hand hovered over the decline button and grazed over the accept button.

Light pierced through Rye's eyes suddenly.. He stared at the screen in front of him confused. Before he could process what was going on.
His severed arm started to grow. He screamed out loud as a tingling pain ran through his arm. He grabbed onto his arm as tightly as he could trying to stop the growth.

The new notification distracted him for less than a second but it helped. Rye heard pulsing when suddenly a portal opened a lean and sickly man walked out.
In his right hand was a hammer twice his size that he dragged behind him. He wore a white kilt that swept the floor.
Rye picked up a sword and pointed it at him.
The man walked past him and grabbed one of the corpses and dragged it to the portal.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Rye said just before the man walked through the portal. He walked back in still dragging the huge hammer.
He walked towards Juvita's body.
"No! No!" Rye screamed and ran to restrain him. The man walked with Rye's arm wrapped around him.
This had no effect, the man dragged him along as he walked. He lifted Juvita by her clothes blood dripping from her headless neck he dragged her away.
Rye let go and picked up a sword. He swung at the man who parried the strike with his hammer.
Rye stumbled back and lunged at him again. The man swung the hammer straight at his head. Rye fell to the ground, his eyes bloodshot.
He slithered as he tried to stop the man from leaving. He coughed out blood as he lay on the ground.
All of a sudden he heard a chime.

[Auto Regeneration Activated]
The pain in his head disappeared and he got up. A woman walked out of the portal.
"You might be the new dungeon boss but you cannot fight the forge," the woman said as he walked toward Rye.
Rye frowned. "The Forge?"
"Yes, the one responsible for creating the monsters of the dungeon," the woman explained.
"I am Lava," the woman introduced herself.
"Rye," he said pointing at himself.
"Come with me, I think we can help each other out," Lava said as he walked towards the portal.
Rye followed her looking in the direction of Yash's body. They walked through The Forge's portal.
Not long after Emery arrived.
"Rasol!," Emery said as he watched the forge drag away Rasol's body.
