A table rose from the white floor in front of him, dark stone shot through with embedded starlight, constellations drifting beneath the polished surface like koi in dark water. A chair materialized behind him. The table was sized for him, the board on its surface entirely his.
Across the void, the Kaiju had its own. He couldn’t see the details from this distance, but he could feel the dimensional link between the two surfaces, a tether stitched through the space.
Its gaze glowed faint against the white, watching him from a table scaled to its own impossible size.
’You’re joking.’
He sat.
[Phase 1 Results]
[Defender: Dungeon Ground Held: 100%. Enemy forces eliminated: 28%.]
[Claimant: Peak territory gained: 50%. Territory held at phase end: 0%.]
[Result: Minor Defender victory. Both Masters advance to Phase 2.]
[Defender advantage: First deployment pick, +1 starting Strategy Card.]
Kaiden stared at the numbers.
’Minor victory? I reclaimed my entire dungeon and wiped out a third of its army. The commander that ran away gets off free?’
[Ding!]
His own system chimed in.
[The Claimant withdrew its forces and the Successor reclaimed his territory but did not pursue.]
’What do you mean? We pursued them until the edge.’
[The fight could’ve continued outside the Dungeon’s gate.]
’...’
[The Successor, too, withdrew and spent the remaining time preparing.]
[Both Masters chose to disengage.]
’I suppose...’ Kaiden would’ve liked a bigger edge, but the system wasn’t wrong. He’d spent that time ranking up, bonding Alexandra, and getting his team ready instead of conducting a suicide charge.
That had been the right call. It just stung to see "minor" next to "victory."
Then figures dropped onto the table.
Eight small shapes materialized on the polished stone in front of him, each about four inches tall, perfectly detailed, unmistakably alive, and for one surreal second Kaiden looked down at miniature versions of the women.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Luna’s voice came first, shrill, tiny, and absolutely furious.
Nyx brushed her pink hair behind her ears with matchstick-sized fingers and scanned the table with immediate composure.
Aria’s silver eyes found Kaiden before her feet finished touching the stone.
Calypso burst out laughing, red tail curling beneath her.
Bastet’s ears went flat and her tail puffed to twice its width, amber eyes scanning for the threat that had shrunk her.
Scarlet appeared sitting cross-legged with her arms folded.
Vespera stood perfectly still at the edge of the group, and the brief flash of disorientation that crossed her face said she hadn’t expected to be pulled inside the sealed dimension.
Alice materialized last, and her head whipped in every direction before her gaze locked onto a faint projection shimmering above the far end of the table, a translucent image of the Kaiju at its own board, six burning eyes glowing through the hologram like embers behind frosted glass.
"THE GIANT FUCKER GREW?!" Luna screamed, gaping at the monster. From four inches tall, the thing appeared to have grown enough to make every miniaturized woman go still.
Then Calypso tapped Luna’s shoulder with a red finger and pointed the other way.
