19 Lolleon (1/2)

As Anhur arrived at the den, a familiar face greeted him. It was the person who informed him of the dungeon.

The person approached Anhur, bowing down. ”My king, I have something to tell you.”

Anhur motioned for him to raise his head. ”Raise your head, tell me while we walk.” He started walking, looking up at the night sky.

”Yes, yes.” The person followed Anhur, walking beside him. ”Just a while ago, everyone's species changed, even the children who were less than a year old. The system told us that we have been enlightened and that we are now Lolleons. We have lost the ability to evolve, but apparently we have access to something called... What was it again? That's right! Classes!”

Anhur nodded, hearing him. He looked around and confirmed what he said. Everyone now walked on two legs. Some of the people who were once four-legged had a hard time getting used to their new bipedal body, but they were fine with it. They knew that only the strong walked on two legs.

”It really did change everyone. It's alright, you don't have to worry. I was in the dungeon and I managed to reach level 150. Instead of evolving normally, the system gave me the choice to enlighten my people. As the king, I chose the one that would benefit the pride. We cannot evolve anymore, but the system made us stronger and better than before.”

”Level 150? Who would expect less of a king?” The person bowed down again. ”I will inform everyone of your achievements.”

Anhur turned towards the person. ”Don't bother. Gather everyone, I will tell them myself.”

”As you wish, my king.” The person quickly left and started to gather everyone. ”Everyone! Gather around, the king has an announcement!”

Anhur watched as his people began to gather around. There were already quite a bit of people as they came outside of their homes to look at him. He looked over them. As the king, he had to at least look strong. Opening his mouth, he let out a loud roar, catching everyone's attention and turning to look at him. They looked at their ruler with admiration, quiet as can be.

”As you might have noticed, your species have changed. Previously, it was only the strong that could walk on two legs, but now, everyone walks on two legs. You have been enlightened, and it was because of the dungeon.” Anhur looked around, looking at their faces. Some wondered what a dungeon was. ”A dungeon is a place given to us by the system.”

They still didn't know what Anhur was talking about, but they listened closely.

”It's a place where you can train and improve yourself. It's because of the dungeon that I am now level 150. It's filled with monsters and places I have never seen before. I have reached the 13th level and there are many more. I don't even think I'm halfway through the dungeon and the monsters could already harm me.”

”Even if you're not interested in getting stronger, you should still go in the dungeon, especially our craftsmen. While I was traversing through the dungeon, I saw materials that would be beneficial to the pride.” Anhur looked around once more, before finishing up his announcement. ”That's all and I hope the future generations will take advantage of what I've done.”

The crowd roared for their king. The warriors were very happy, hearing the dungeon would give them a challenge. The scientists, smiths, and other craftsmen raised their eyebrows as they heard about materials in the dungeon.

Anhur smiled at the roaring crowd. He made his way home, tired from the events in the dungeon. It wasn't that far away and he arrived at his front door, shortly after the announcement. Opening the door, he went to his room, changed out of his clothes and laid down on the bed.
