The weird carriage arrived at the large dwarven-like underground city I saw when I arrived in the final depth.

Along the way, I noticed vast acres of what I can only describe as farmland etched into the rock.

The terrain down here looks like a typical generic cave with no fauna in sight. But somehow vast amounts of the stone cave floor have been completely artificially flattened and turned into some sort of rocky farmland... It's hard to explain.

There's not a soul in sight working on them though. All the fields we passed seem to be completely abandoned.

I wonder what purpose they serve.

Anyway, I can safely say now, that coming here, was a mistake.

We had the carriage to ourselves the whole ride, and the sludge monster named after desire, has been making full use of that fact.

The slimy creature has been gradually getting more and more affectionate.

I probably just look like an ordinary-looking set of armour being consumed slowly by a pile of black goop right now.

"We're here" (Abomination of negligence)
One of the other sludge monsters opened the carriage door after announcing our arrival outside.

"Tsk- already..." (Abomination of desire)

"Let's continue this in my bedroom later handsome..." (Abomination of desire)

No.

As she left the carriage, my body got dragged along with it.

I feel like I've lost something valuable today.

I've been trying to play dead so she'll lose interest, but it's been to no avail so far.

We passed through a beautiful enormous double gate and entered a breathtaking castle with an interior reminiscent of a cathedral.

The dozen disgusting sludge monsters lumbering across the floor inside are a stark contradiction to the beautiful surroundings.

We eventually arrived inside what looked like a throne room.
It's even more grandiose than the throne room I visited in the Royal Capital.

"My sister. You've returned." (???)

"Brother, this is my husband, we just got married in the carriage on the way here." (Abomination of desire)

Excuse you?

Is that what happened?

You just wrapped your black goop around half of my body for half an hour, that's not how marriage works?! I think?!

This can't be how I get married in another world!!

"..." (???)

I inspected the pile of goop sitting on the throne in front of me.

Great. Another stupidly overpowered pile of goop.

"That?! You've brought that... THAT here as your mate?!" (Abomination of greed)

Hey, you're the goop monsters, why are you treating me as some sort of abomination.

"Is this what you've been pretending to get assaulted for this whole time?!" (Abomination of greed)

Pretending?

"I've tolerated your eccentric behaviour long enough! It was good bait to eliminate the few remaining creators, but this has gone on long enough!" (Abomination of greed)

Wait?! That whole damsel in distress inside the carriage scenario wasn't even real?! That was all a trap?

Somehow this is the most disappointing part to me.

"I won't have our kind fraternizing with them!" (Abomination of greed)

Daughter's will rebel against their father's no matter the species I guess.

"Guards!"

Oh ow.

"No! Father! The creators tried to kill my hubby! He's not one of them!" (Abomination of desire)

What did you just call me?

I feel like I should be gleaming some important information from their interaction, but I keep getting baffled by every other sentence coming out of the pile of sludge with the flower hat that just started calling me "hubby".

"...Guards!" (Abomination of greed)

One of the grotesque sludge monster guards behind me suddenly ripped the helmet off of my head, revealing my scarecrow face with it's bright static smile for all to see.
"Ridiculous! Look at its disgusting skeleto-...n... skull...?" (Abomination of greed)

"..." (Everyone)

"What is that?" (Abomination of greed)

"...M- my hubby..." (Abomination of desire)

Stop.

I regret not attempting to escape sooner.
With this many stupidly high levelled creatures around, who knows what would happen if I tried anything... I wasn't expecting to get surrounded like this...

What can I even do to get out of here?

Go with the flow?

"Can I just say... you've got a very nice house..." (Scarecrow)
No, that's stupid...

"W- what... it speaks our language?!" (Abomination of greed)

"T- take... take that thing to the jail for the unknown! And have it prepared for torture!" (Abomination of greed)

"...D- don't worry... h-...hubby!" (Abomination of desire)
She's clearly disgusted with me but seems determined to stick to her guns and act rebellious with the bad boy she brought home.

"They only rip off a couple of limbs in torture! They'll grow right back!" (Abomination of desire)

That's not how limbs work usually.

◇◆◇

 

3 sludge monsters dragged me to the prison by partly encompassing me in their bodies.
We eventually arrived at a classic catacomb-like jail.

I'm not sure what the logic behind encompassing someone with your body is for these creatures anymore.
Did I just technically just get married to these three guards?

Just as I was once again thinking of something stupid, they threw open a gate and threw me inside of the large jail cell.

One of the creatures entered the cell and grabbed each of my limbs to attach it to restraints that had been embedded inside the wall.

When he finished attaching my 4 limbs to the shackles in the middle of the cell, he slithered away and left together with the other monsters after locking the door.

Well. Looks like I got arrested.

This is a rather refreshing scenario all things considered.

So much has happened today that I feel like I needed a moment to take it all in any way.

Yeah, let's look at this is positively!

I signed some autographs, discovered an underground city, met a bunch of hostile skeletons with a weird status and got married...

I wonder how Furby and Alcazar are doing?

*Whimper*

Whilst I was reminiscing on my recent findings and experiences, I heard the sound of a wolf whimpering next to me.

As I looked over, my eyes were met with a familiar yet unfamiliar demon.
It looked like an extremely malnourished wolf that barely resembled the proud wolf I met and named years ago.

Doctor Sniffles... What are you doing here...

He looks like he's barely holding on...

I haven't even had time to contemplate wether the sludge monsters are good or bad, but this is evidence enough for who I should side with.

Just as I was about to break out of my shackles to help Sniffles, I heard the sound of chains rattling at the other side of the large jail cell we're in.

I looked to the opposite side of Doctor Sniffles, and saw a skeleton with no arms and cracks all over its bones sat against the wall, with its legs and torso chained up against the wall.

Shame looks like they died in here. They've got my condolences.

I focused on the skeleton out of habit, hoping to at least learns something about it.

WHAT-
