Explorers Log: Day X

Today, I entered the Fetid Necropolis, finally breaching the Third Stratum of the Yggdrasil Labyrinth! As soon as I arrive, however, I see what looks like a slender man sitting on the floor, meditating... I sense some odd aura from him, so I immediately draw my weapon! In response, two jet black wings just ouy from his back! At this point, im very on guard... and then he stands up! Im fully in fightibg stance, prepared to attack when he suddenly speaks to me in a calm tone, showing absolutely no malice whatsoever despite how threatening he clearly is...

Hello, explorer. Youre the one who defeated the Hippogryph of Floor 10, correct? You have no need to fear me... I hace awaited your arrival... as a friend, not a foe. In fact, I have a great proposition for you.
