| Narrator's Pov |

There are subtle transformations that one won't be able to see just yet for both twins. The girl felt her left arm become a vessel for an entity as Old as Time and space. The boy felt his left arm become a vessel; a demon isn't that awakened just yet, but he could feel something different about his body. The wolf girl felt something different about her body but couldn't put her finger on it yet. After 5 more hours of reconstructing their vessel, the pain went away slowly, their regeneration went up three more levels. When the children were able to get back up they saw their arms had tattoos that looked like they were carved into the arms. One was of a silverish black crow, the other a fiery sapphire blue serpent wrapped around her /his arm. Tattoos looked alive they could feel it writing beneath the skin, but yet after the 5 hours of pain, the tattoos felt natural yet alive as if they could call upon them whenever they wanted. To spent 5 minutes just staring at the tattoo curiously, and they were trying to figure out how to summon their weapon from the vessel. After 20 minutes nothing happened, but they were still determined to summon their weapons. The wolf girl instinctively closed her eyes trying to picture her katana, what colors did it have? What would the feeling be like to hold a weapon? How sharp is it? The picture became clearer as time passed on, she focused her senses on her left arm trying to feel her weapon. She finally found her weapon, and what she saw was amazing. A silverish-black- black katana that would shimmer on the moon like stars in the night sky. The crow opened his eyes and he saw a little girl who had furry ears and a tail. He thought the little girl looked very cute, but could also sense a lot of pain in her eyes that she was trying to hide from her new resident. The Crow looked at her curiously wondering if she was his new wielder. The spirit sword and the wolf girl trying to understand each other. Wolf girl came up to the spirit sword and asked a very interesting question that made the spirit sword sweat cold. " Can you be my little brother? This is what she said" Unknown to the young girl pressuring a long forgotten demon sword with just an innocent question. After a while of contemplating, the spirit sword gained encouragement to offer an alternate solution to this very awkward situation. He asked if he could be called Big Brother instead, and to his relief and excitement the young girl said yes with a glimmer of joy in her eye. He had gained something akin to a little sister. This feeling was new to the spirit sword, he would treasure it forever. wanting to know if she is full.

I tell my brother to look at the status panel, he's delighted to know he has an element, and determined to get it unlocked. I asked my brother if we should take out our new weapons, and he was delighted at the thought of having his new weapon in hand. I asked Sasha if we could bond with our weapons that way no one would steal them from us. [Does the Hosts want to bond with the Living cursed item, Cursed item?] Yes Sasha I would like to bond with Living Cursed Item! [Request granted by Admin][Bonding process has started 1%, 2%, 3%... 10%... 50%... 78%... 90%... 99%...100%][Bonding process is completed] The children felt something strange at first, and then it turned into a pinch. Then the children fell to the ground holding their arms in pain, and why are they in pain you may ask? It is because the two bloodlines are trying to fight off the bonding process of the living cursed weapon and other the cursed weapon, but the regeneration skill does its job very well. The only problem is it makes their consciousness stay awake longer, what they were feeling was very hot barbed wires wrapping around both their arms. The girl's arm was slowly wrapped in sickly green-black miasma and inky black miasma. The boy's arm slowly wrapped in faint golden and icky black Sparks of lightning, and black dots of miasma some of the dots have faint blue Sparks of ember. She slowly felt her left arm begin to feel itchy, it felt like three animals fighting against each other. Or to put it in another way two bloodlines were fighting against each other trying to swallow each other, but to their dismay, some of their features merged with each other thus becoming one entity, but the merging was interrupted by a third party. It just so happens to be a giant silvery-black crow, a bit parallel from his original, a bit smarter, and less of a klutz. The boy on the other hand had less trouble than the girl though his bloodlines did not like the fact that if his sword were to be cut through he would be dead they could feel it instinctually. Someone were to look closely they would see little nubs on the top of his head, showing slight demonization. Hopefully, he will get through this problem that he is having at the moment. Left diagonal downward shoulder to hip cut. My brother tries to block it, he does the exact same move I do. We've been doing that for at least 4 hours now trying to get used to the movement. Making it more fluid and less sloppy would probably make it more unpredictable too or should we make it like a dance. Well if I can't decide I'll probably just do both. Hmm, the next set of moves are Left horizontal cut, Right upward diagonal, Left upward diagonal hip/waist to shoulder cut. Try these next set of moves but they're not exactly right. I don't know how, but I know it instinctively.

I've been learning swordsmanship from my sister for at least 10 hours, in certain moves sequences switching them up. After a while it got smoother to do kenjitsu, which is what she called it, and when I say 30 hours. I lost track of time, but I gotta say it was a lot of fun. I can tell my sister is having fun with kenjutsu this might become another hobby for me and my sister. My sister says it takes at least 10 years to master kinjutsu. I was astonished by the number of years that it takes to master the sword style, but we have eidetic memory and adaptability so won't we be able to master it sooner? I ask my sister if she's hungry, she always goes with "I'm always hungry little brother." I laughed awkwardly at what she said, I forgot she's a glutton. I asked her if she wanted to eat sushi, jerky, and Chimera flesh… I wonder what it tastes like when food is cooked, I would like to try it. We start eating what we have stored we're probably going to hoard everything in this dungeon. Me and my sister have always hoard everything we had, since we did not know when we were going to get more. I'm going to create some yen just so we don't seem suspicious. After we were done eating we did 60 more hours of sword training, and when that was finished I asked my sister if we are going to refurbish our old room that we stayed in together? Her eyes brightened at that moment and I could have sworn her eyes went back to as white as the Moon. She got so happy that I got a hug and a kiss on the cheek, my cheeks turned slightly red. I never thought I would get a kiss from a girl, I feel so embarrassed. We were done with sword training while Sasha gave us our exercise routine. It looks like we have to do several times the amount Saitama did in One Punch Man. Hopefully our hair doesn't fall out!

 * * * * *

 This is our exercise routine:

1. Push-ups 0/700

2. Squats 0/700

3. Sit-ups 0/700

4. Kenjutsu practice swings 0/10,800

5. Run 0/50K miles

(Admin note: this is supposed to be done in 2-3 Weeks, have fun! ps. Will get mystery rewards if you finish this within 1- 2 weeks :3)

When my sister saw this I thought her head was going to explode, Grandpa's really pushing it my sister said with a very irritable eye twitch. I try to calm her down by giving her a hug, she's a little embarrassed because she got triggered so much by such a little thing at least I hope it's little… I can feel the excitement of my sword ready for battle. I asked my sister if she's ready to go inside one of the labyrinth doors? She goes back to eat everything she has and so do I after an hour of finishing we are done. Surprisingly when my sister dashed towards the door, surprisingly the door must be flimsy cuz my sister was able to smash through it with just a fist. We might have just been alerted to the creatures on this door that are very dangerous, but I don't think my sister cares. Looks like she's ready to eat again. I just sighed. My sister looks through the hole she made through the door and there's about 50 to 100 monsters, each group comes in all shapes. colors, and sizes there are evil goblins-shamans, trash skeletons to litches, and reapers, regular trash goblins, Gobolethes, I'm wondering if they wouldn't make good sashimi? Warlgeras, ugly slimes, black lightning wyvern dragons, dahir, banshees, fire dogs, hellhounds, lycans, druid dogs, mist wolves, druid wolves, shade wolves, dancer ravens, shadow crows, ackhae, death dogs, dire wolves, funny enough there was also lizard men, and dragon man, barbed demons, mist demons, dire devils, stone golem, ect. I asked Sasha if she can copy all the monsters inside the room to put into our own labyrinth and dungeons. [Ding~ Host request has been accepted!] All The monsters that are in this room shiver as if they're being analyzed by something and they all turn our direction. We didn't know that we were going to be outmatched, but that has never stopped us before. We bolt out of their line of detection, we were always the best at hide and seek so it should come in handy. This is definitely going to be very fun, but my sister has always been fascinated about assassination she thought it would be fun to sneak around so that's what we did. We've been assassinating monsters left and right yet they don't know why they're getting killed so fast, we might take some trophies home as bragging rights. I guess this is not your typical dungeon because it goes left and right instead of up and down though I think it's quite fun to see something different. We found treasure around here like weird armors, weird weapons, even familiar eggs, video games, manga, some really cool accessories, mysterious tattoos, cool piercings, video game consoles, old, futuristic, vending machines. We've even found toys around here. There's lots of weird stuff around in these rooms, the further we go the more mysterious the stuff gets. Until we cleaned everything out at least 20- 30 rooms. Also our level has gone up at least 20 times. I would also like to see that her sword skills have gotten better. We found lots of mysterious hidden rooms. Most of them had even better things than the ones in the regular rooms. Like antique cars or futuristic hoverboards, I even found a jetpack whatever that is? Oddly enough we did not find any skills or manuals, or food recipes. Maybe it will be in the other rooms?

The twins finished the first door to go on to the second door just like before punch the hole through, this time it was the male's turn. Although he might have broken down the door instead, his sister gave him a scowling look. For his punishment he has to do at least 50 monsters on his own, and he has to assassinate them all at the same time. He goes in with his shoulders trouped like he had been told to go to his room for a timeout, but when he gets into the room he activates stealth, gets into the "hunting position" foxes usually have. I probably haven't mentioned it before but all the monsters in this room are the same as in the last room, the Little black kitsune is a little trouble in this room because the monsters are harder to deal with. (A\n the more doors they go through the harder it will get, it will go like this... Robotic, the next three rooms have semi-conscious monsters, awake monsters that have the brain of a two year old this is for the next four rooms, the next two rooms will have awake monsters with the brain of a 4-year-old, the last room will have either a ginormous boss who is very slow but super tanky for a super fast and agile or a boss who likes to assassinate in one shot! Bosses in these dungeons are truly a Pandora's box... so be careful with what dungeon you pick because it could be your death in a fast imperceivable way or for a very slow death... *evil laughter in the background,*) But the twins have an evil elder wyvern as the boss of this dungeon,(A\n the boss will have the brain of a 6-year-old.) In the next treasure room it had a few gold coins, rusty old armor, and maggot-filled bodies. The other bodies he found were filled with parasites, a broken down car that looked like it was from the 1820s it looked like it used magic somehow… he picked up the gold coins in each room, he also found potions in the next three rooms next to the room he was in and knowledge on how to make these potions he takes all the alchemy resources with him, but there isn't very much. The books look like they're in perfect condition, going from room to room collecting rusted accessories, armor, weapons, he found two hoodies, shirts, shorts and two pairs of underwear they look like they're in nice condition. When he tries to put them on there are roaches, and maggots crawling all over him he takes off the clothes, and asks his sister to freeze dry the insects. He sighs and is disappointed, but he is determined to find something nice to wear. He frowns at the thought of not having anything to wear other than having kimonos, and he and his sister do not want to stand out. They want to blend in with humans so they can go unnoticed, and not have any trouble or in his sister's case bloody hands from killing disgusting, annoying humans. Broken down car is taken into the dimensional storage for resources for the scps to eat, he comes back with a cursed eye and a super fat bag. His sister looks at them interested, wondering what specs they have? They ask their AI to appraise it for them. This is what they get the information on a cursed eye and a bag… the creepiest thing about this eye is it's still moving around watching, analyzing us. My sister watched it with a cautious, but curious eye the whole time.

Name: Eye of Anubis

Information: Anubis was the Egyptian deity of cemeteries and embalming as well as the protector of graves. As with any other culture or religion around the world, the Egyptians believed in paying respect to their dead. Therefore, they conducted elaborate ceremonies and mummification processes to help the deceased pass smoothly into the Afterlife. Anubis was the deity who played an important role in this journey. Depicted with the black head of a jackal, Anubis helped mummify Egyptians when they died. Black represented the fertile soil of the Nile that was needed to grow yearly crops, so the Egyptians believed that the color black symbolized good fortune and rebirth.

Jackals were associated with death, because they lurked around cemeteries and would eat decomposing flesh. Therefore, by making Anubis the patron deity of jackals, the Egyptians hoped to protect the bodies from being devoured. In addition, as recorded in the Book of the Dead (better known as “The Book of Going Forth by Day”) Anubis’s other job was to stand in the Hall of the Two Truths and weigh the hearts of people seeking judgment. The human heart was balanced on the scale against Ma’at’s feather of truth. If the heart weighed more than the feather, the person’s identity would essentially cease to exist: the hybrid deity Ammit would eat the heart, and the soul would be destroyed. But if the heart weighed the same as the feather, the deceased would pass through the underworld (Duat) and into the Afterlife.

Since the Egyptians believed in the concept of Ma’at, which meant order, peace, and balance, death was regarded as importantly as life. Therefore, Anubis was a major part of the transition from life to death and back to life again.

Side effect 1: Colder and more aloof, more accepting of death… having Anubis's mentality. Can see the time and death of people and animals around you [caution is advised.] This is only if you put the eye in replacement for the original eye you have half of anubis's original personality will be merged with yours. [This is the curse of Anubis]

Side effect 2: If you swallow this cursed eye you will either get a Death Jackal Physique. [Beware if you gain this physique for if you are touched by a loved one, a friend, a stranger, a pet or an orphaned animal on the street will Die]

Side effects 3: Become the beast of Egypt cursed to eat the heart of the living when they come to the afterlife.

Side effects 4: You're cursed with eating The souls of the living to regain sanity from the curse.

Side effect 5: You gain either death perception, or death foresight.

Side effect 6: You will be linked to Anubis for eternity whether in Life or in Death you will become one person with the Jackal god of Death.

Side effect 7: There's a 0000000.1 percent chance of either being blessed by the eye only if it finds you Worthy [Death Jackal God bloodline][If the host does not gain this bloodline they may die in the most gruesome way possible. your body Shall be reanimated by this curse.]

Name: Bag of Gluttony

Information: this bag has been passed around from generation to generation from country to country. Somehow stealing each kingdom's treasures for centuries and one day it somehow no-clipped out of that reality into this labyrinth. No one knows how much treasure it actually holds to this day… Someone stupid enough to put money or any valuables in this bag will never get it back!

Side effects: anyone naive enough to put their hand inside the bag's mouth loses any part of your body.

* * * * *

The female had a very sinister smile on her face thinking of all the goodies it's filled with. It might as well be a pinata to her, she has thoughts of madness that no one should ever have thoughts of. The male kitsune has pity for the bag of gluttony today it has met its match, so it will not likely be scavengible by the time the female is done. Suddenly the bag wakes up, and wonders what meal it will get today? It lazily opens its mouth so someone could put something inside then it closes its mouth quickly only to realize it has swallowed nothing, but air. It opens its eyes angrily only to see a vicious smile on the little female's face. It suddenly realizes it's not in the hands of a human, but that of an Apex predator. It shivers with cold sweat, and it tries to run away. Sadly it is no use. It looks so to see its leather strap being held by the little wolf, it is like a sitting duck in front of a hungry Wolf. The Little Wolf opens the bag with just enough Force to open the bag halfway, she bites through the bag's teeth just enough to make it have no teeth at all. The Little Wolf is searching through the bag's stomach… She has found gold, platinum coins, jewelry, scepters, precious gems , and crowns. All kinds of weapons, armor, magic items, alchemy tools, holy and demonic items, mini golden statues, animal rugs, animal blankets, old l fashioned winter and summer clothing by rich nobles and royalty , valuable ingredients for cooking, alchemy, blacksmithing and diamond carpentry tools, and oddly enough a Golden fleece, all kinds seeds, all kinds ancient, old fashioned recipes, blueprints. The twins look at each other with vicious grins, and then look at the bag as the bag watches all its valuables mournfully go into another space where it can't reach, the twins go back and forth about what to do with the gluttonous bag who sadly can't understand what they're saying.

| Nakatomi Pov |

Me and my brother argue back and forth about what we will do with the bag. By the way I almost forgot to say we have 4, 000 Soul points. Not nearly enough, we need to keep searching and keep fighting more. We finally decide on what to do with the bag, because it is sentient, likes to devour valuables my brother decided that I should not torture the poor thing, but instead put it in another dimensional storage with nothing in it since it's not really doesn't need to eat out of necessity. I thought it was the most decent thing to do since I don't want our valuables and our new trophies to go into a bag of no return, but thanks to the decision my brother made we decided to keep the damn thing in a separate dimension. We have that settled so we can go on with the rest of the labyrinth, we walk stealthily to the third door. We kicked the door open, but it still didn't make any noise. We thought it was strange at first, so we are looking around to see if anyone is trying to ambush us. Look through each room meticulously through the pile of junk, corpses and trash on the floor. I remember seeing something on a blog of the back rooms when I was in the underground laboratory. I ask my brother if he's heard a rumor about the back rooms before, he cocks his head to the side curious to know what are the back rooms? After I explained what the back rooms are in my comparison to this place, he thought it was interesting in a way. I just thought it was ironic in another way. Ask my brother if he wants to keep moving and finish this damn labyrinth so we can go to the human City. He said he would love to. So we kept moving forward, looking through room to room to see if there were any monsters we could kill. The third door we went into was quite full with junk, corpses and trash. We went room to room to see what it had, you've been fighting monsters for the past 3 to 4 days. Thanks to Sasha putting in a clock so we don't lose track of time, it's been a really great help having one. We've almost made it to the end of the labyrinth, I asked my brother what's in the 8th door. He shrugs his shoulders, he said (B: let's find out shall we?) I said "sure whatever, let's go I want to go take a shower. I hate the way I smell." He chuckles at what I said, I click my tongue at what he did. We go inside the eighth door, I summon my weapon and cut down the door into eight pieces. I truly feel fed up with this labyrinth. We look inside to see mini bosses that look like ten steel golems start to turn on with a clank. The fight begins. I charge forward and my brother stays behind and watches to see if I need help from behind. Five golems wake up to step forward gracefully and in order to protect what their Master gave them. Which makes me think that they're trying to protect something and I'm morbidly curious to see what it is. The golems were a bit of a challenge, oh it was interesting to see their fighting patterns incorporate them into my own fighting style. Then the other five golems came charging at me, but this time from the back so they didn't get to do anything cuz I cut them before they even realized what happened. My brother puts the pieces of the 10 golems into our dimensional storage probably for our naked ugly cows. I turned to see my brother hoarding all the stuff he could find in this room with a sigh, and the shake of my head I kept moving forward to what has caught my interest the most. A magic inheritance and a baby fox, but the poor thing was only barely alive. I took out a piece of raw bear meat to see if it was hungry. The poor thing couldn't get up on its own to go eat by itself. So I did the best I could do, ripped the bear meat into pieces… fed it to her. I checked to see if she has any injuries, but luckily there are no injuries. It looks like she's a very hungry girl though,after a while she feels a little better. Hopefully she will fully recover in the near future. I have been sitting here for a while watching my brother throw things into the dimensional space that he wanted, and throw the rest away. After that we went to the 9th door, and a second mini bigger boss looked to be a young chimera on a mattress which is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my short life I had before. My brother looks like he wanted to tame the thing while I had no interest in him, but I would still welcome him as a family member. So my brother bought a [Rare rank: Tame skill][Is that all the host wants?] Yes Sasha (Author's note: young animals of any kind are easy to tame it's usually the older ones who are harder or probably impossible to tame) [Skill has been purchased][Host you have 14,000 SP left] my brother goes over to the Young chimera, and puts his hand on one of its heads to try to tame it. It growls and it's sleep trying to push back, but my brother dominates it by a landslide cuz he hates losing no matter what we do together… he always wants to be my equal. I spark with amusement at his tenacity, while I'm still petting the baby fox in my hand. She's a beautiful golden and red fox. she would probably stick out like a sore thumb just like me. I kindly asked her if she wanted to come with us, and her answer was a nod. Happy with her reply I started to feed her, she absolutely enjoys it. While my brother is playing tug of war with the chimera. A snicker at his struggle, I tried to give him help, but he opened one eye while giving me the stink eye. I raised both hands and surrendered while the little fox sat on my shoulder. After about 30 minutes of struggling with the young chimera my brother, the young kitsune finally got to tame the young chimera. After that we finally got to go take a shower in our domain after 4 long days of not taking one.
