Chapter 248: Behold! There Is Still More

The damn King kept shift to different bodies.

The entire time, the King was dancing some disco boogie, but I didn't have anything that could get him from range, so I decided to try something else. 

"HEY! King of the bad dance moves! How do you want to do this? You're too scared to fight now that I have figured out your tricks?"

All I got was pelvic thrusts while he did the sprinkler. No, I was starting to get angry, but I took a deep breath and looked around, noticing the door to leave the room. I started walking, and the King kept his distance and didn't follow me, let me walk all the way to the door.

Once I touched the door handle and pushed on the door, the lights went out. Then, normal torches lit back up, and the King was back on his throne, the sword hilt to his head. Now that was some weird stuff, but I didn't have to kill him, just get around him.

Now, it was time for what should be the final room, but this was supposed to be the final room. So maybe this was the most final room, I was grabbing at straws, but something about the place did not scream the final room. 

"What do you want?" Asked an old orange scaled female LizardFolk that was sitting around a fire.

There was a group of huts around the fire, but no one had weapons. What was going on here? Had I taken a wrong turn somewhere? No, looking back just showed me a moonlit sparsely vegetated open plain. I turned back to the group, none of them looked hostile, so I tried to start by introducing myself.

"Hey, I'm Dave, I think I am here to help?" I said with all the conviction of someone that had no clue what was going on.

"Help? Our only princess has been stolen! Can you please save her?" The old Lizardfolk woman asked.

"Wait?! You only have one?!" I asked in bewilderment.

How much work was going into the one girl! Was this going to be another three rounds? Bet she won't even be at the end there! What the hell is going on?!

"Yes, but there have been multiple princesses from all the tribes in the basin! There will be surely more to save when to reach the dragon's cave!"

Hmm, more princesses, but they came with a came full of dragons...dragons breath fire...hmmm. I wonder if I could just skip this one, it sounds like a bit of a doozy. Still, sounds like there would be a good number of women to save, and that would make my job a bit easier.

"Okay! I got this, I will go get your princess for you, just point me in the right direction!"

[Quest accepted]

[Level 3] Acquired!

[Random class reward] Activated!

[Adaptling Aspect: Beholder]

A single class? What was this about? Did the override the System did before remove my second class?

'No, the Adaptling Aspect Class is a restricted class that only allows you to use this class. You made them as concept classes, and never put them into the actual game choices because they were too overpowered, but you still liked playing them. The System is set to random so it must have been in the master list.' -Tequila.

Well, overpowered wasn't a bad thing, and from what I could remember, Beholders were giant eyes with more little eyes on tentacles. They used their eyes to fire pretty devastating beams, so I opened my charts up and took a look around at the skills. There was something wrong, but in a good way for me at least. 

All the skills were unlocked, I had only six attacks, but they were all at the third and max level. This was a bit intense, and I would have nine arms, but each would have a thirty-second cooldown on each eye. I could also use the main eye for some mega beam but it had a twenty-four-hour cooldown, so no running around with my lights on.

I turned back to the old woman and pointed to the only mountain that was far off into the distance. I thanked her and told them all I would rescue their princess, and they all cheered and waved me off. I smiled as I turned, I had said that I would rescue the princess, but I never said anything about bringing them back. 

I ran off into the night and put some good distance between myself and the tribe that I had just visited. I wanted to shift in the Beholder, but from what I could remember, it was pretty ugly and looked like a scary brain with a big eye and tentacles that had eyes. I just didn't think that the people would like for something like that to be going after their princes.

Then again, this was just a game, and they probably could care less if I was another dragon. I just needed to accept the mission and then everything was good for them. I wonder what NPC did after their quest was accepted and completed? Did they just sit or stand forever in the same spot? Once I was done stopping the game, I would work on unlocking the NPC from their stuck patterns, letting them live lives as well.

I was far enough now, but still a good distance from the mountain. It was time to try out this game-breaking class that I supposedly enjoyed playing. I opened up my menu and activated the transformation, and then shit got weird.

It was like my body was being pulled into an exercise ball size, many arms and legs were just slowly folding in on themselves and I was glad I didn't wait till I was at the dragons to do this. It would have been pretty bad if I were about to fight them, and I had to ask them to wait for me to finish my transformation. I would be eaten before I got a chance to try out my new moves!
