Chapter 88
”I get to what?” James was pretty sure she had just said he would get to participate in Dungeon Wars. But that didn't make sense. That went against the whole 'you cannot tell anyone you are the dungeon core' clause of being a dungeon core. It was like fight club; you just didn't talk about it.
”You get to take part in dungeon wars.” She selected the option to continue to the next screen, and before his eyes, a new tab and display opened. Avatar Creation.
”But I thought we couldn't interact directly with our players.”

”You don't.” Rue smiled sweetly at him, motioning towards the screen before him. ”Your avatar does.”
”Yeah, just saying that doesn't really clear anything up for me Rue.” James crossed his tentacles, mimicking the pixie when she would get moody with him. ”You're not being very helpful.”
Rue's eyes flared with annoyance, before they softened, and she smiled evilly. ”Oh, I'm sorry, for a moment I thought I was talking with an actual intelligent person. Allow me to dumb it down for you, oh mighty Glyax.” She stuck her tongue out at him but continued.
”You are not allowed to share your identity as a dungeon core to anyone. Players are not to know the dungeons are run by another human. As far as they are concerned, dungeons are generated based on coding, and an advanced AI, such as me.” Uh huh, she sure was advanced all right. An advanced pain in the butt sometimes.
”Then how do I- ”
”The Avatar is explained away as an advanced AI meant to aid adventurers against outside threats, and to also bolster and assist adventurers when they assault other dungeon cores. In fact, avatars are a major part of dungeon wars, considering they are the only thing that can actively damage a dungeon's core.” Wait. What? That was new.
”Ummmm, what?” He was pretty sure she just said dungeon cores could get damaged. James did not like that idea.
”It's not permanent or anything.” She waved a hand, like it wasn't important. ”During dungeon wars, the invading force cannot be thrown back unless the invading avatar and portal are destroyed. Conversely, the portal for the invading army stays open, and allows for players to invade, until the dungeon core of the world they have been invading is destroyed.”
