Confused, Eisen leaned back in his chair and just looked at Serio with a frown. "What exactly do you mean?" The old man asked, but Serio simply replied with his regular, unchanging smile, "Exactly what I said. You are the son of the first Grardour, I really don"t know any more than that, sorry." The Town Core Guardian explained with an apologetic expression before Eisen just nodded his head.

"Well, if that"s the case, then it makes a little more sense. Where exactly do Giants live, then?" Eisen asked, and Ruth quickly began to explain,

"On a con-con-continent actually not too far from here! The Gi-Gi-Gi-Giant Country makes up nearly the whole continent, even if that coun-coun-country is then split up into different areas for the clans again." She replied, and the old man slowly sighed. "Well, then I guess I need to figure out a way to get over there." He added, before Serio tuned in as well.

"I highly suggest you raise your level before you do, however. It is a continent of Giants, after all. And not only the Giants themselves are larger than us, but the monsters there are as well. Due to that, the point at which they should be fought is at least 100 levels higher than normal for their Rank, and there are many Rank 6 or 7 Monsters." Serio pointed out, so Eisen looked over toward the other Originals.

"What Level was the recommendation for Rank 6 or 7 again?" The old man asked, and Jyuuk quickly replied, "Hmm… Rank 1 is to Level 30 or 40, Rank 2 is to Level 50 or 60, Rank 3 then to Level 100, Rank 4 to Level 150, Rank 5 to Level 225, Rank 6 is Level 300, Rank 7 then around… 400? And Rank 8 was 500, Rank 9 then 700, and Rank 10 was all the way to Level 1000…" The Beastperson explained swiftly, so Eisen began to frown deeply in response.

"So I shouldn"t go until Level 400 or 500, then. Great…." Eisen sighed in response, rubbing his eyebrows, but Brody immediately shook his head, "Nah, those Level Recommendations are when you"re alone. If we"re all goin" together, we should be able to deal with stuff there at Level 300 if we focus on avoiding them, and we"re already all aiming for that anyway." And as Brody pointed that out, Eisen inevitably began to smile and then nodded his head.

"I see. Then thanks for your guys" support in this. Either way, it seems like raising our level should be the focus for now. And if possible, let"s just try and see if we can finish the tasks from the Puzzle-Box up. The item itself is called a "Treasury", so completely opening it might be more helpful than we think." Eisen said, and the other Originals swiftly nodded their heads as well before the old man stood up from his chair.

"Then let"s head down to the catacombs again and activate the Town Core now. For the next few days, I think we should go ahead and reconstruct the town with the help of the Lords and the different First Generation Guardians that Serio will help us find in town." The old man told them as he headed back toward the place where the floating platform was before, just waiting for the others to come along.

And while the other Originals were having a hard time accepting what they were supposed to a.s.sume was true, Eisen figured that it was an excellent choice to let them know about everything. After all, why wouldn"t he? They were just as involved in this as he was, so it would be idiotic to try and "Protect" them from that truth. Although he technically didn"t even know what that truth actually was, that"s something that time would uncover.

For now, they all, the five Originals and the two Core Guardians, made their way back into the Catacombs and through a few neat tricks and hidden functions built into them, it seemed like it was possible for them to just walk there in a straight path without needing to worry about finding the right way again.

And then, when they finally reached the place with the large Country Core again, Eisen swiftly placed the Town Core into the slot beneath it and promptly chose to activate it.

[The Town of

has been re-established under the Guild . The Town"s Rank has been set at 1]

[Eisen has been a.s.signed as the Lord of the Town

. Lord of

t.i.tle Unlocked]

[It is possible to change the name of the town]

"Keep the name." Eisen said with a smile, and a confirmation notification swiftly appeared before the old man turned around toward the other Originals.

"Then, welcome in Prototype." The old man chuckled and then looked at Serio, who was tapping his foot on the ground with a frown. "Is everything okay?"

Slightly surprised at suddenly being spoken to, Serio seemed to snap back into it and immediately shook his head, "Is Everything okay? Is ANYTHING okay?! The Town is in utter shambles! It"s just been 100 years, what happened here?" Serio exclaimed, "Whole structures disappeared, others changed their style completely, and the Populace was reduced to mindless monsters! I"m glad I can only see about 10% of the Town at the moment because this is already horrendous enough!"

With a deep huff, Serio crossed his arms, before Eisen just slightly chuckled in response. "Well, we can try and change that as soon as we can. Let"s get back to the others at the front of the castle. We need to properly speak to the Lords as well about figuring the situation with the monsters out." The old man pointed out, and as the group began walking, Jyuuk scratched his neck, seemingly wanting to distract himself from the topic from before as well.

"I"m pretty sure we have, at the very least, the High-Goblin Lord on our side. Gobu"s been with him for a while now, so the Goblin-Lord was probably able to see that we treat everyone well, even if they"re monsters. The Ratman might have also understood somewhat, he and the Goblin seemed to be the most intelligent, besides the Half-Dragon, but the problem would surely lie with the Lizardman and Kobold Lords." Jyuuk explained, so Eisen slowly moved his fingers through his beard in response to that,

"Don"t worry, I have a pretty good idea for that already." He pointed out, before slowly stepping up next to Xenia, "Now that we mention places to live, Tony mentioned to me that you two already spoke about everything a little bit. You"re coming by around noon tomorrow to take a look at the house for the first time?"

Surprised, Xenia slowly nodded her head and began to fiddle with her long black hair as she did so, "Y-Yeah… He said he could pick me up around the time that you"re awake then…" The High-Elf pointed out, so Eisen nodded his head in response.

"Sounds good to me." Eisen told her with a smile on his face, before Xenia just slowly nodded her head, and the group swiftly made their way back out of the catacombs, through the hallways of the castle, and then back out to the front of the castle where the majority of people that came along trying to get here were gathered.

And when they got out there, Eisen, Jyuuk, and Serio swiftly made their way over toward the High-Monster Lords, figuring that it would be a good idea to just go with a few people, while the others would begin explaining what would be done next to everyone else.

With the four Lords, and Gobu, in front of them, Serio took a closer look and then raised his metallic eyebrows surprised, "Oh, I wasn"t able to properly see this before, but now that I look at them this way, I know these Four." Serio pointed out, and the four Lords turned toward the Town Guardian.

"You do?" Eisen asked with a frown, and Serio swiftly nodded. "Yes, at least as far as I can tell. Back when I was still functioning properly, I remembered a few extraordinary men amongst the Monster-Populace. It seemed like they ranked up some more and soon became Lords." Serio said with a smile, and the High-Goblin Lord returned the surprised expression that Serio had on his face.

"Indeed is that so… It is a pleasure to see you again. I wish for you to excuse the lack of control that we had over those of our races." He apologized, but Serio simply shook his head. "Do not worry, it is mostly my fault for allowing myself to cease proper function in the first place. But please, it would be more than just helpful if you could a.s.sist us in returning this town to the Glorious state it was in the past." With a slight nostalgic smirk, Serio crossed his arms behind his back, and the Goblin-Lord chuckled slightly in response.

"You have my support, at the very least. If my Kin can grow to such a fine being under them, then maybe they can do the same with the rest which have returned to their Feral nature." The High-Goblin Lord told them, and Jyuuk and Eisen looked at each other with pleasantly surprised expressions, not having expected things to happen so quickly.

And next, the High-Ratman Lord stepped up next to the Goblin as well, "If Goblin Lord says so, it has to be a good idea. I will help too." He explained with what seemed to be supposed to be a smile, but the Kobold and the Lizardman Lords still seemed to be against it.

At the very least the Lizardman was, the High-Kobold Lord seemed somewhat intrigued by his Comrades" decision, but was apparently slightly on the fence. So, Eisen called over someone else, which he had mentally "commanded" to come to the front of the castle beforehand.

"Fafnir, could you create a gate?" Eisen asked the Living-Dungeon in front of him, who simply jumped into the air and swiftly caused the s.p.a.ce to appear, while Eisen then turned toward Sigurd, leaning forward to whisper into its ear.

"Tell the original Kobolds and Lizardmen to come out." Eisen asked it, and the Dungeon Core Guardian swiftly disappeared into a cloud of mist, while Eisen looked at the two opposing Lords.

"If you two are alright with it, how about we speak in here for a little while? We have something to show you." The old man suggested as he slowly opened the wooden door of the Dungeon Gate, and while the High-Kobold Lord nodded and chose to enter the Dungeon, the High-Lizardman Lord decided not to, even if he did seem somewhat intrigued.

And so, thinking that this would probably be enough to end up convincing them, Eisen swiftly stepped inside of Dungeon with the Kobold-Lord behind him before they were immediately approached by the five original Craftsman Kobolds that Eisen "created".

"These are… Kobolds?" The Kobold Lord asked in a surprised and unsure voice, and Eisen slowly nodded his head.

"Yes, they are. Well, these are special Kobolds, but nonetheless, they are Kobolds. I personally taught them different abilities. We support them, and in return, they support us. That"s how it works for us." Eisen explained, and for another little while, the Kobold-Lord tried to converse with the Dungeon-Kobolds, even if everything declined to simply staring at each other with weird nods and slight growls.

Either way, at the end of it, the High-Kobold Lord left the Dungeon with a bright grin on his face, ready to help out with Town.

And then, the only one that was left to need some convincing was the High-Lizardman Lord, who chose to "trust" in them for a little while and slowly stepped into the Dungeon together with Eisen, where he soon saw the different Lizardmen that had been raised in there.
