MegaTale (Genocide) Part 8- Development Build

Eventually, Rock reaches what seems to be a tree of some sorts. Suddenly, there is a voice. "Oh, dear." The voice said. "That took longer than I expected." The voice is revealed to be Adrian, who tries to call Rock only to notice him right in front of the tree. "How did you get here, young one?" Adrian asks. "Are you hurt? Not to worry, I can heal you. I shouldn't have left you alone out there. It was irresponsible of me to try and... Well, I can't hide it any longer. Come, young child." Adrian heads back, passing the tree. Rock follows behind and sees a big house. There is a sign that reads "Development Build". Rock was unsure of the name, but the powerful feeling returns. Rock walks inside.

"Do you smell that, young one?" Adrian asks. "Surprise! It's a Peanut Butter-and-Chocolate Chip Cuukee. Cuukees are kinda like cookies, really. I thought we might celebrate your arrival. I want you to have a nice time living here. So I decided to hold off on plain cuukees for the night." Rock was a bit unsure of what these "Cuukees" really were, but he didn't really care. "Here," Adrian continued. "I have another surprise for you." Adrain then guides Rock into a hallway. "Well, this is it." Adrian states. "A room of your very own! I hope you enjoy it!" Suddenly, Adrian smells something burning. "Is... something burning?" Adrian asks himself. "...Make yourself at home, I'll be right back!" Adrian then rushes away.

Rock walks into the room and looks around. He decides to take a rest on the bed. "...Rock, what are you doing?" Rhythm asks. "Going to bed." Rock responded. "I'm tired from killing all those robots." "Come on, get up!" Rhythm commands. "You can't control me." Rock replies. "I'm going to take a small rest. I think it's getting late anyways." "How can you be so sure?" Rhythm asks. "Just a guess." Rock replies. "I'll continue after a nap."

After a while, Rock wakes up and gets out of bed to see a cookie-looking thing on a plate. "What is this?" Rock asks. "Looks like a cookie the size of a slice of pie." "That is the Cuukee Adrian made." Rhythm states. "Might as well save it up instead of eating right away, it's a pretty important healing item to keep." Rock nods, placing the Cuukee in his inventory. Rock decided to leave the room. Rock heads into the living room to talk to Adrian. Before he talked to Adrian, however, a history book caught his attention. He reads it. "Trapped behind the barrier and fearful of further human attacks, we retreated." The book stated. "Far, far into the earth we walked, until we reached the cavern's end. This was our new home, which we called "Development Build". ...As great as our old king was, he had a... strange way of naming things."

"Up already, I see." Adrian states. Rock turns to face him. "I want you to know how thankful I am to have someone here. There are so many old stories I want to tell, like the one you just read. I want to show you some of my favorite spots to relax. I also prepared an education plan for you. You know, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I am happy to have you living here." Rock didn't really care, but he pretended to in order to lure him into a false sense of security. "Uh, Adrian?" Rock asks. "Oh?" Adrian asks. "Do you need anything?"

"When can I go home?"
