And then it hits you! The pain of your grand failure rushes back to your heart!

But enough of this! You can't sit here for the rest of your life, feeling sorry for yourself! It's time to continiue your quest!

You have 15 Hits left in you

You are rested, hungy and thirsty

Your mental state is: Still kinda shitty but a little bit better

What shall be done next?

Along the way, you try to track down the wretched beast, but see no signs of it.

Finally, you can hear the waterfall raging just ahead of you! You push past some bushes and...

And me and my bro are like, the strongest ever, so what coulds you do, huuh?

As the girl finishes expressing her doubt in your God Beast killing qualifications, you suddenly hear another voice coming from the cave's entrance!

Actually, that is not *exactly* what I said

Will we finally get to see the sword skills we apparently autistically trained our whole childhood on to the point that we have literal autism and zero friends?

Or is this gonna be the part where we reveal we're dogshit at the sword too lmao?

I can't tell which would be more fitting for the MC.

I suppose introductions are in order. My name is Dean Ferdinand , and this here is Gus, my sister.

I've heard your offer of slaying the God Beast.

Listen. Don't take it as an offence, but I know your kind. People like you stroll through here now and then, all talking about some grand quest or some divine purpose - and I'm sure you are no different.

You'll stand against the God Beast, you'll realise that you can't win, and then you'll run away, go to the next floor and continiue your "adventure" and we'll never see you again.

It appears Dean have no faith in your abilities and even less faith in your resolution.

The thought that after I'm gone the beast will still live, tormenting this village year after year, taking more and more lives - it enrages me.

You are strong, Sir Kid, very strong. But even you can't defeat this monster. Alone, that is. But with you, me and my sister, together... I think we can do this. No! I'm sure we can do this!

But before you agree to this, Sir Kid, I need you to understand that this is a trully deadly affair. There is no guarantee that all of us will live through this, and this goes for you as well. Are you really prepared to risk your life for strangers? Please consider, that you very well may die if we face the beast.

And as a QM I can confirm that there is a real chance Kid dies if he fights the beast! No plot armor!

After getting all our injuries treated, you and Gus head out to the "shack" that Dean mentioned. Turns out it was a small house on the very side of the village - what must be the Ferdinand's home.

Inside you find Dean praying in front of a makeshift alter.

Your stuff is by the window, Gus. Go get ready for the battle.

He says.

Aye aye, bro!

Exclaims Gus as she runs to her stuff and starts changing.

Then Dean speaks again, this time addressing you!

This axe belonged to our father, Sir Kid.

Ten years ago him and another seven men attempted the same thing that we going to attempt now. They failed. All of them died and the enraged beast went on to take another 6 lives that day.

Do you understand now? All these years I wanted to slay that creature, with all my heart, both for justice and for revenge. But I was afraid. Afraid to fail like our father and most of all afraid to cause more death and suffering.

Sir Kid... I am very tired of being afraid. Let's end this sad story.

You, Dean and Gus set out to kill the God Beast!

Once you leave the village and reach the forest, Dean motions you to stop and speaks.

The God Beast's lair is at the end of this path, at the foot of the Great White Stairs, but before we go there, let's talk strategy.

Don't worry, I think I understand your whole deal pretty well, Sir Kid, I already know that complicated tactics will not do - I'll keep it simple:

Your range and speed are far greater than ours, so it would make no sense for me and Gus to be in front - we will only stand in your way. Instead, we'll be behind you and follow your rhythm.

I'm not an amazingly strong warrior nor am I as skilled at weapons as you are, but I am quite versatile: I have my father's axe, my shield and my bow, and I know how to use them well enough. There is also another thing... no, never mind that, I'd rather we not rely on it.

Then we have Gus - she lacks skill or finesse, but her raw strength is beyond any measure. I know it's hard to believe, but you'll just have to trust me on that. As long as she has a clean shot, she can execute a devastating hit.

Alright, Sir Kid, hope it's not too much to remember. We'll be counting on you out there and you should count on us as well.

Let's do this!

And you're off!

In terms of the quest what it means is that during the fighting, instead of telling Kid what to do you guys can tell Dean or Gus to do something instead! Don't get them killed!

Dean has 15 Hits and Gus has 20!

>>4480559
Whoa that's a lot of responsibility. Here is my plan

As you approach your destination you can now clearly see that the spire you saw from afar does in fact have stairs on the side of it, reaching all the way to the ceiling of this giant chamber.

You step closer and closer to the foot of the spire. From here you can see that it is littered with white stone columns. You can't yet see anything or anyone.

The beast is most likely sleeping, as it does most of the year, but don't drop your guard. It can attack at any moment.

With a heavy feeling in your chest and your new friends (???) right behind you, you step into the field.

And then you hear a deep voice inside your head. It speaks to you slowly.

Contender... Your... Name... Is Contender

And then, in an instant, a flash of a thought. You know the "name" of this creature. Not a regular name, but a sort of "true name' or a title - much like you are a Contender, this creature is a
Devourer

The words escape your lips. You can feel some sort of recognition blink in the God Beast's eyes. It stays silent, now studying you with obvious interest.

It appears that through the power of Numerals you can comunicate with this creature.

What do you do?

I can't believe you guys goofed your way into solving this part. I was fully prepared for you to just fight it without figuring this out

>>4480842
... wait, have there been previous contenders or are we the first to hold that specific title

>>4480854
I'm pretty sure we're one of many. We got marked by our tribe's shamans as a contender I'm sure other tribes and things sent contenders too and there have been contenders in our tribe before us.

Also I'm guessing these little Kobold people are descendants of contenders too.

working theory;
the condenders that Dean mentioned, did kill the Devourer .
But he, as the Sphinx, is part of the floor so it cannot be killed permanently.
He sees the people living here as sons of the previous contenders, so that's why he demands a sacrifice.
so they may rise up to the challenge.
we just need to convince him that the people here are part of the floor and he won't keep eating them.

we just need to make this theory into something Kid can understand, otherwise is brain will overheat

The most delicious things in the world... Had myself a feast... Went to sleep... And when I woke up, they were offering another one for me... Been so long ago now...

For a second you can sense some sort of confusion or maybe anxiousness in the calm voice of the creature. Then it continues.

These little mice are so wonderfull contender... So delicious, so filling and so eager to be eaten... Trully I need nothing else in this heavenly place...

I remember now, Contender. I was a small little thing back then. And I had a dream. I wanted to become something special.

A serpent of legend.

You know the kind. A snake that devours a sun. A kind of serpent that brings the end of the world. Or a serpent that encircles the world and is a big as an ocean. I wanted to be just like that. A snake of myth.

And so I climbed this tower for at it's top, all wishes come ture.

Floor by floor. Decade by decade. Towards my goal. It was tiring, Contender. You can't imagine how far this tower goes.

And then I came to this place. It's not just the little mice, Contender. It's the temperature - it's just perfect for me, too perfect. And the air. And the moisture. Everything here is perfect for me. Don't have to look for warm places, don't have to hunt for food.

Don't have to move at all. Just sleep. And eat.

What do you do or say?

>>4480998
Invite it to climb the tower with you.
Also if possible, ask what it knows about this place: its origins, purpose, whatever it has found out during all these years

>>4480998
"You can still achieve your dreams of being a mythical snake, lets leave this floor together."
also ask if it wants to be your friend

I don't think this is a nice snake and I dont think we should help it towards its goals.

We can convince it to encircle the world and be as big as an ocean instead.

>>4481352
no, it's a Devourer. it's bad. Let's satisfy it's hunger with a few inches of cold hard steel so it can sleep forevermore.

>>4481349
It's a snake dude. It's like a monkey wanting to get all the bananas or a grizzly bear get rid of anyone that could bother it. Just because it's smart doesn't mean it's not an animal.

or should it be a few feet? I'm not good with retarded American measurements.

>>4481368
A foot is about the length from the ankle to the knee give or take a little and there are twelve inches to a foot.

Despite the circumstances, you can't help but feel pity for the creature. And something else as well.

Maybe this is just more of your longing for friendship. Or maybe you just identify with this creature and it's story. Or... mayhaps this is some inherent quality of your character, that even you didn't know existed. But whatever this impulse is, you follow it, and speak to the creature

I-it's not too late, Devourer. Leave this place! Come with me to the next floor and you can continue your quest! We... You can still get through this, I'll help you!

Speaks the Devourer as it turns back to you.

I am awfully hungry, Contender. Haven't had a bite to eat for a whole year, I believe. Let me have a moment to eat and I'll be ready to join you to the next floor

The whole creature is moving and winding up. You can feel the ground vibrate as the muscles of it's body are becoming tighter. The Devourer looks at you... No... It looks past you, to the two people that are standing behind you

These little ones are just perfect, Contender. Don't worry, I'll be done quickly.

You hear Gus speak to you from behind your back

Ehm...Misters Kid? I think it's about to do somethings??

Then you hear Dean's voice

What did it say, Sir Kid? What should we do?

His usually calm voice now sounds more than a little concerned.
