Reincarnation Of Audemars

Soon, a 100 allocation points were distributed to each of the Reds and they immediately allocate 25 points each to their Strength, Wisdom, Dexterity and Constitution and this could be done for every level only. I saw that their base attributes were only 5 each and when they had allocated the 25, their stats were increased considerably too.

Before I head down to the dungeon with Red Two Adam, I handed an amulet and 3 rings to each of them to add +12 to their already allocated points for their Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom and Constitution. This adds to become +42 to all their attributes.

"Wow... This is cool... Thanks, Red Leader." Ingles remarked as she looked at the simple amulet that has 2 empty sockets and then she saw her attributes rise to another +12.

"Alright Red Two, prepare yourself and follow the Quest Master," I said as I ushered Red Two Adam into the kitchen where there's the wooden door that spirals down into the first level of the dungeon.

"Remember what I said... Hit hard, hit fast, kill swiftly and silently." I reminded the 4 of them as they assembled in the kitchen awaiting to be sent down to their doom... I mean, their quest. "And don't forget 'Finders Keepers'" added Prius as he swung the wooden door open and the lights from the torches finally came to life, illuminating the dark, musty dungeons below.

I instructed Red Two Adam to enter the dungeon first and I followed about 25 paces back. This level has 8 giant rats and the rest would be 5 each. The doorway that leads to the next level would be at the end of each passageway as usual.

"There's hidden credits among the crates and wooden barrels. Break them up and collect as you go along." I reminded Red Two Adam as he walked slowly and held his two Assassin's compact crossbows on each hand and poised to shoot the moment he saw the threat.

....

"Gosh, this place really reeks of rat's urine and poop all over. And the size of this poop is really like a small bolster. How big are these rats anyway." Adam thought to himself as he sidestepped the poop and puddles of urine and suddenly he heard hissing and spitting sounds just a few paces in front of him.

"My gosh... This rat is thrice the size of a wild boar." Adam took aim and shot his crossbows in alternative firing mode. The rat's eyes glowed red and were charging ahead towards Adam and he managed to kill it with 3 shots. The rat fell to its side and during its charge, it broke some of the crates and wooden barrels as Adam collected the spoils.

"Try not to think that I am behind you all this time, just proceed on, there's another 7 more to go on this level." I hollered to Red Two Adam and he replied confidently, "Roger that Red Leader." as he walked on and found another target even before it could react.

One after another fell and we soon reached the end of the passageway and asked Adam to push the wooden door himself and enter Level 2 of the dungeon.

The real difficulty is when he was at Level 4 dungeon when during one of the battle, he suffered a gash on his forehead and I was worried sick since his cut was rather deep and nasty. It was caused when a rat suddenly swiped a crate and a plank flew towards Adam and he was unable to avoid. It was unexpected...!!

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT? Do you still wished to go on?" I asked and Adam nodded his head and wiped away at the blood that trickled down his face. "Yeah... Let's get in with this. This is nothing... It is just a small scratch." he said as he walked on and this time he steered a slight distance away as he bounded backwards a few steps to avoid any incoming projectile.

His reflexes seemed to be a bit better at this Level and he managed to kill all the 5 rats and took a break and tended to his wound at the entrance of the doorway. Seeing my worried look since I am unable to lend a hand even to dress his wounds, he simply said, "Red Leader, I have come this far and yet need to be at the last level. I know you are worried and I don't want to forfeit this quest at all. I will be more careful. If not for the 100 points that I had allocated, I don't think I could manage it."

When he said that, I knew he would be somebody in the near future. I just need to keep an eye on him to ensure that his path doesn't wayward to the dark side. During the dungeoneering, he had picked up one glove, a bronze sword, a planked shield and a round buckler.

It was the same exact items that I had picked up myself before. Before long he opened the last doorway that leads to level 5 of the dungeons and there the passageway had only one torch that was lighted in the middle. The place was as gloomy as the one that I had last entered and this is where 5 mutated extra-large boss ass rats were stacked one after another.

"Hit and run. Don't stay in one place, Red Two. Don't be too cocky and hasty place your shots well." I hollered after him as Red Two Adam went swiftly crouched on one side and stealthily crept.

"Affirmative, Red Leader. OH MY GOSH... These rats are really enormous. What do they eat to gain this size?" as Red Two Adam gazed at the large monstrosity ahead of him as he unleashed alternative bolts from both his crossbows.

Its a good thing he aimed for the large saucer-shaped red glowing eyes of the rat and it was blinded by the shots and would be soon taken down by him. I lost count of how many Red Two Adam shot at the rat as soon the rat fell to its sides. He managed to shoot twice then moved to another position and shoot another two bolts before he shifted his position once again.

Good thing he had worn the amulet and the three wings that were given to him and the rest of the children, if not he would have given up on the third level. Seeing him shot the 1st rat multiple times, I congratulated him and he moved in to the next and the next until he had vanquished the whole dungeons filled with these rats.

"Red Leader, I'm tired..." Red Two Adam said as he reached for the last door that leads to the kitchen upstairs. "You have done well, Red Two... It is now for Red Three to enter this dungeon. You may discuss the tactics with them once you had gone upstairs." I reassured him as he pushed the door open and there's another door that greeted him a few paces in front.

He opened it up and emerged into the kitchen and the moment the rest of his sisters saw the gash on his forehead, Jane and Kayla decided to forgo the ordeal. "Hah... A battle scar is all I got from them and its not by a rat but a plank that came loose and hut me squarely over my head here." Red Two Adam reassured them as he was immediately treated by Patricia with her handy medkit.

"You sure you are going to let the rest go through with this? Look, Adam needs at least a few stitches to seal this wound up. Now he doesn't look handsome at all and everyone would call him Harry Potter instead."

True enough, the gash that Adam got was somewhat similar to the flash scar on Harry Potters forehead. Nevertheless, Red Three Ingles was raring to go despite seeing the blood-streaked face.

"I also want to have a gash like him. It looked pretty cool, right? The other adventurers sure would be asking for one too if they were to see me walking around with a bloody bandage Iver my forehead..." Ingles said while she raised her dust triumphantly. "My God... What did I raise... Little monsters as what Trish had mentioned before?" I shook my head and buried my face in my hands as Adam was sent to the infirmary to get his forehead stitched up.

Just as I figured, when Adam was ushered to the infirmary, a group of adventurers were sighted and Adam called out to them and informed them to head to the House Of Keating as there was a quest for them to gain experience.

The group made up of 10 to 12 adventurers were ecstatic and heads down to the House of Keating where they were ushered in by Rebecca whom they had recognised when they were given their first quest back in Central.

Seeing the new blood that had entered the House of Keating, and Kayla suddenly felt like a senior since there was a small girl about the age of 9 and a half. She is a wizard and Kayla felt that if this little sister is brave enough, why not she and Jane be afraid of? The little girl exudes such a confidence that even Jane and Kayla was awed by it.

Not only them, I too was awestruck by her confidence at such a young age.
