Chrysalis
Chapter 89
Flush with the glow of a hard won victory, Tiny and I are unusually not looking forward to the next reward, the Biomass.
Unfortunately, whatever was blocking our sight ended with the defeat of the last monster, clearing our vision to take in a truly wonderful scene.
The monsters practically exploded when bitten and the remains are scattered over the tunnel floor in a truly unpleasant image. Something this abstract would have to be a Picasso? The spattered goop certainly leaves a strong impression.
Sharing an unwilling look with Tiny we both begin to pick over the tunnel floor reluctantly, looking for something that looks like edible Biomass.
[You have consumed a new source of Biomass: Tenebris Serpere, you are awarded one Biomass]
[Basic profile of the Tenebris Serpere unlocked]
[Tenebris Serpere: Dark Crawler, Produced in the Monster Forges of the Troglodyte engineering guilds, these creatures are tailor made for reconnaissance and stealth missions, deploying an arsenal of shadow magic for offensive and defensive purposes]
Uh...
WhatyousayGandalf?
What am I reading here? Produced? Monster Forges? Troglodyte Guilds?
What the heck was all o that?!
So these, truly unpleasant to eat creatures were created? By... Troglodytes?
I’ve never heard of a Troglodyte. What is that?
Well. Focusing back on this fight, the Xp from these creatures was perfectly acceptable. Two whole levels! Once for each! Not to mention the three cores that were able to secure as a result of this battle! Such rewards are almost unprecedented!
Surely this cannot be an omen of something bad about to happen!
...
Ok, nothing terrible so far.
I won’t count it out yet.
After splitting the Biomass with Tiny I gain a further four points, leaving my total on nine. Enough to take my legs from +2 to +4 and enhance my Gravity gland to +1 with one point spare.
I quickly confirm those upgrades with Gandalf while I distract myself from the unpleasant itch by rounding up the monster cores we’ve gained. Three small, round gem-like stones sit on the dirt in front of us. Apparently these monsters were engineered or created outright by a kind of people called the Troglodytes?

cores, I activate the core mechanic skill and begin to study the information contained inside. There is still much that I can’t see in there, but what I can see is quite shocking. These monsters have almost no toughness at all, and very little might, the energy is instead diverted into Cunning, to make them more intelligent and towards magical proficiency,
makes sense if you consider them as designed
Interesting.
