Everyone managed to level up, Beasts wolves were now both lvl 13 and the dark battle wolf was lvl 15.

Before they started their journey they used the party function to adjust the exp ratio so that they would all be close with the amount of exp they had. That allowed them to be at the same level all the time. With level 20 drawing near they were pumped for what might await them, the only problem was the fact that Tank and Beast still didn't have a mark, but with the way, things were going that time would soon come, maybe even sooner than they thought.

For Reign the biggest change this level up gave him wasn't the stats or anything like that, it was a simple letter.

Race: Human / N? (more info in the race menu)

(N, that wasn't there before, what could it mean?)

Reign was perplexed by the sudden change in his race status, deep inside of him however he had an inkling of what it might be.

Knowing that he could do nothing about it he simply stores his thoughts in the back of his mind before continuing his journey with the others.

It took them much longer than they thought to get out of the tunnels. They were inhabited by numerous hobgoblins that were patrolling the area, sometimes they would even come across a small outpost the monsters build at intersections.

The outposts were manned by more than ten hobgoblins and some variant goblins, mostly the sling shooters and shamans that were effective against higher-level monsters. The odd thing was that they didn't know why there were so many patrols and outposts, even after spending more than 1 hour in the tunnels they had only come across hobgoblins.

What they didn't know is that in the early stages of developing this warehouse the hobgoblins came across many monsters, the giant crocodiles for one gave them a lot of troubles.

Other monsters such as giant earthworms could swallow a hobgoblin whole and they needed to call for backup from the stronger bases to kill them. Moles that could dig through the hard soil in the tunnels were annoying enemies as they could escape at any moment using their claws to dig away from them.

Many bug-type creatures were found in the middle where the main base was, ranging from huge rhino beetles, giant centipedes, and even some snakes that made the underground their home. It was truly a daunting task to clear everything so that they could make this place their warehouse.

The hobgoblins didn't know why, there had to be other places where they could have made a base right? Not quite, the anchor point located here was an important part of the monster leader's plan and he couldn't allow anyone else to possess it, not now when they were so close. The only place left for them to conquer and gain control over the town completely was the home of the giant ape, the ape's power however was incredible and a lot of planning was needed for such a battle.

The anchor points were important for one reason only. They allowed for the wielder to gain complete control over the surroundings, creating a zone where the wielder could make his underlings stronger while weakening his enemies.

Traveling through the tunnels was also not that easy, there were many places where they would have to choose between two different paths. For such situations Beast would be the one to use his skill and try to locate sounds, they used a simple tactic, choose the busier path, the more enemies there the higher the chance of them being in the right direction, there was after all no other way to locate the correct way forward.

Other than that, Wolf was drawing a map on a piece of paper, every path they took would be mapped out with the other paths, the only difference is that he used broken lines for the path's they choose not to go in, while the ones they did use would be in full lines.

The tunnels were also a great battlefield for Tank and Greenie as they could simply bulldoze everything in their way. The enemies that manage to dodge would quickly be picked apart by the others in an orderly fashion.

Meanwhile, on a faraway planet, the white-clothed man was sitting on the top of a mountain, looking over the planet with no worry on his face. It was about the time when Reign had killed the soul that was possessing the woman.

"Interesting, he's already broken a seal, he should soon begin with the inheritance process." The man spoke softly to himself. Another person had just finished meditating a couple of meters behind him, getting up he comes next to the man and asked carefully.

"My lord, if I may."

"As I told you before Aioel, there is no need to be so formal before me." The man smiles gently as he looks at his student.

"Yes, teacher." Aioel nods respectfully to the man who gave him everything, he wasn't the only one, every single one of the man's students was taken in by him when they were at their lowest. Kids who were ostracized by society, teens who were angry at the universe over its ruthlessness, and adults that had given up hope for the future.

If not for him they would have probably died in a ditch somewhere, quickly forgotten by others.

"Why do you care for that planet so much, I have heard the news that it is rated higher than the alliance had expected but still, there should be no reason for you to personally go there multiple times." Aioel bows after finishing his words, he knew that it was less than respectful to question his teacher like this and was ready to take any punishment, but he simply had to know.

"Oh, so that's what was troubling you for so long, hahahaha, my dear Aioel, sit down." The man laughs heartily as he pats the spot beside him for Aioel to sit down on.

"Teacher?" Aioel obeys and sits down next to him, with a confused voice he looks over at his teacher who was staring at the starry sky and reminiscing.

"You are wondering why I am so interested in the planet called Earth, correct?" The man turns his head sideways and asks his student with a smile. Aioel simply nods to the question before the man sighs deeply.

"It is much more than just a planet Aioel, you see Earth for the alliance and the dark ones is simply a place with good potential right?." Aioel nods his head in agreement with his teacher's words.

"Well to me it's far more important than that." The man slowly gets up and looks at his student.

"Earth is where I was born Aioel, it is my home." With these words, the man disappears from the spot as Aioel was left with wide-open eyes, shocked at what he had just heard.
