John had been confused.When he killed one of those strange creatures with his bow and arrows he had felt a pleasant sensation and a notification that he had earned experience and learned a skill.
When he saw his friends and the progenitor being killed he knew they were in a losing battle hence he ran and hid close by.It was a difficult choice but it was better to survive and live to fight another day.If he died now then he wouldn't come back.
John observed the scene of the massacre.The creatures were picking up the loot from his dead friends.He listened to their speech.He could somehow understand what they were saying.He felt it would work the other way around too.
John looked at his status.

Gender:male
Race:human
Level:0
Class:ordinary archer

Archery level 1(common)
Common tongue levelless(common)
Traits:

Bloodline:

Achievements:
Kobold slayer:Be the first human to kill a kobold.Effect:Deal extra damage against kobolds and recieve less damage from kobolds.
So they were known as kobolds.The extra damage and less damage recieved would be useful if he were to gain revenge.He would wait though.His experience bar was almost full and he felt like something good would happen if he filled it up.
He just needed to kill one more kobold to do it.He watched as the kobolds moved through the wilderness back the way they came.Perhaps it would be good to see where they had come from.
As John followed them he was immediately made aware of his movements.He was moving more quietly and skillfully.John followed them for a few minutes until the kobolds reached an opening in the cavern wall.
John wasn't aware of this opening in the cavern wall.None of his friends were aware of it.It was on the opposite end of the cavern from where they were.The kobolds each made their way into the opening as they disappeared one by one.
Once they were all gone John went to the opening in order to exit the same way.
[Alert...you are unable to leave the dungeon...for now.]
John was hit by a strange notification as he found himself unable to leave.It was as if some sort of barrier was preventing him from leaving.
John sighed.It appeared he would have to wait for his friend Arther to respawn and for his god to spawn some new companions.His old ones were gone forever now.He simply returned home.
...
The dungeon checked its reserves.
[1000/1075 essence remaining.]
[450 essence has been used.550/1075 essence remaining.]
[3 human elites have been spawned.]
[250 essence has been used.300/1075 essence remaining.]
[5 humans have been spawned.]
The eight humans named themselves and acquainted themselves with John.The dungeon payed closer attention to the three elite humans.They were taller and more muscular then the regular humans.They consisted of two men and a woman.They also had a more pronounced and commanding presence similar to Arther but weaker.
The dungeon core hoped they were stronger because they sure were more expensive.
...
John and the rest of the humans began to eat the remaining deer meat.Two of his companions wanted to go and collect some fruit but John decided to tell them about his encounter first.
The three elite humans leaned in as they were clearly the most interested.It might be because they were just born but they clearly wanted to test out their strengh.They could feel their superiority in power over their fellow humans.
This led to one of them developing a bit of an ego.The three named themselves Joshua,Raegan and Katarina respectively.They listened intently to the information that was being relayed to them by John.
They raised their eyebrows as they heard about the system and status.Two of them had their eyes glow with greed after being told that something good might happen if they fill out their exp bar.
Their mood was however dampened by the fact that they heard about the kobold that possessed incredible physicality and one that possessed magical powers.
"This Arther of yours I certainly want to meet him.I want to see the strengh of our progenitor." Joshua was intrigued by the description of Arther and his ability to hold off the kobold with incredible physicality.
"I want to learn why we can't leave through this so called opening.It seems like we'll be able to leave it in the future." Raegan was curious and wanted to understand why they couldn't leave.
"Come on you two.We need to have a plan in case those 'kobolds' return.We can't just let them massacre us." Katarina brought the two back from their thoughts and they all began to think of a plan.
