Two days… Two days passed after Lennon left and subjugating an entire goblin settlement. Over the course of those two days, all I did was train the mobs and the defenders, create some more mediocre weapons – armor is still far from my grasp – and try tofort the traumatized women.
Newssh,forting the women is still not working. All they''re giving me are those dead, empty res that can pierce through your thick skin. The dragonewt – I''m calling her dragonewt for now until she can rify what race she is – was still sleeping like a log.
Seeing her sleeping made me want to punt a goblin into the air andnd into an active volcano, while watching it scream to death as it burns inva while I eat popcorn.
"Report," I asked Domino, who was busyying on my back while eating some sugary sweets I got for her in the Market. Good thing a month''s supply of sweets only cost 15 DP. I wonder why it was so cheap though? Then again, this world is somewhere along the lines of medieval fantasy and futuristic sci-fibined together to form one hell of a messy world…
"Mu…" Domino nodded as she essed the Dungeon Menu and sent me the information. My Dungeon Menu popped up right in front of me, showing me the DP I gained over thest two days.
Trespassers Killed: 12
Goblins: 8 = 25 DP, 20 EXP (invalidated) each
Kobolds: 3 = 35 DP, 25 EXP (invalidated) each
Orcs: 1 = 60 DP, 50 EXP (invalidated) each
Dungeon Residents DP ie:
Day 1:
Goblins: 51 = 6 DP, 5 EXP (invalidated) each
Kobolds: 10 = 9 DP, 6 EXP (invalidated) each
Orcs: 4 = 15 DP, 13 EXP (invalidated) each
Lizardmen: 1 = 20 DP, 15 EXP (invalidated) each

Day 2:

Kobolds: 12 = 9 DP, 6 EXP (invalidated) each
Orcs: 5 = 15 DP, 13 EXP (invalidated) each
Lizardmen: 1 = 20 DP, 15 EXP (invalidated) each
Human: 1 = 13 DP, 11 EXP (invalidated) each
Beastman: 1 = 38 DP, 31 EXP (invalidated) each
Dragonewt: 1 = 113 DP, 100 EXP (invalidated) each
Total DP earned: 1696
DP: 199 -> 1895
Yeah, I''m steadily increasing my DP ie. Also, it turns out that the lizard woman was indeed a dragonewt. She also gives me a bunch of daily DP, so it seems that not killing them off for DP was the best oue. Plus, once they recover, they can help with my Dungeon either by training the mobs and defenders, or helping Domino and me manage the Dungeon.
Thetter option, though, I was not keen on doing since, unless they arepletely loyal, there was a chance that they would betray me, and I don''t like being betrayed.
"… Papa…" Domino tugged on my head with her tiny hands. I locked my gaze on Domino''s face, her expressionless faceing up within my view. "Humans at entrance…"
I tensed up.
"Humans? Can you tell me what they''re wearing?"
"Elves, twins… Injured…"
My eyes opened wide. I was afraid of thising up, but I''ve been putting it off for too long. Should I help them? Or should I leave them to their fate…
I look at the shack behind me, the broken human and demi-humans staying within the walls like broken dolls.
''Maybe…'' A n made; I quickly made a passageway that led directly to the entrance. "Domino, alert the mobs and defenders. Tell them we might havepany."
Domino nodded and hopped down my body. Equipping my ''Armor of the Primates'', I swiftly ran through the new passageway with haste.
I did not stop, since their lives rested on my shoulders.

~ Third Person POV ~
"Come on… Come on…" Mariona carried Merethyl on her back as she ran from the enemies. An arrownding on the tree trunk next to her caused her to gulp for a second before continuing on dashing through the woods. "Almost there…"
Her breathing ran ragged as her sister''s head slumped down on her shoulders, her breathing faint.
''No, no, no… We''re almost there… Just hang on for a bit longer…'' Mariona grit her teeth as she stumbled on a root, both her and her sister crashing to the ground. ''No… Sis…''
Mariona reached her hand out, but an arrow lodged itself into her back, barely missing her vital organs. She gasped out in pain, the corners of her vision darkening.
"Sis…" She let out a weak whimper as she crawled towards the downed form of her twin sister. Various wounds decorated her sister''s body, blood staining the ground red with their essence.
She was bleeding out.
Mariona let out a few tears as she desperately reached towards the figure of her sister. Memories yed out as she crawled. The time they were cast out of their vige. The time where they were ostracized in the orphanage. The time when they only relied on themselves. The time when the orphanage burned down and everybody else med them as the cause.
Getting kicked out of the town and living out their lives in monster infested territory in their teens…
''No… I won''t let you die…!'' Suddenly gaining vigor, Mariona crawled faster, intent on reaching her sister to protect her from the iing waves of enemy soldiers.
And then pain…
Mariona screamed, even as she lost air. Rising from her unconsciousness, Merethyl saw the moment her sister lost her leg. Her eyes dted, rage and despair coursing through her veins.
"Damn it, girl, you really had to run didn''t you," The human soldier sneered as he grabbed the limb he chopped off and tossed it towards Merethyl, all the while having a demented grin on his face. "That''s what you get for running, filthy demi-human."
The rest of the soldiers caught up with the man, their numbers increasing from 1 to a dozen or more.
"Sir, how about a little y before killing them like the low-lives they are?" A soldier from behind piped up from his spot, a baleful smirk adorning his face as he looked down on the twin elves.
"Not a bad idea,d," their captain agreed with a malicious grin. "You heard ''im boys! Time to have some fun!"
The soldiers cheered and began approaching the two suffering elves.
''Is this it…? Is this where we die…?'' Merethyl choked a sob as she desperately tried to reach for her screaming sister. She held her hand out, only for it to be snatched by another soldier with a crazed grin on his face.
"Now now, filthy elf," the soldierughed as he ripped her clothes to shreds. "You''ll be having the honor of having been raped by yours truly, keke haha!"
"… Fuck… You…" Merethyl gasped out, her eyes defying the crazed grin on the soldier''s face with all of her being.
"… What did you say…?" The soldier, however, was not impressed. His grin turned into a frown, then into a snarl. "You, bitch. So that''s how you''re ying, eh…? Well then, enjoy, demi-human cunt!"
The soldier reached for his sword and positioned it above her legs, his grining back with full force. He raised it up andughed dementedly. He brought the sword down and Merethly braced herself for the pain.
Only, it did note.
Opening her eyes, she saw a sight which she would''ve never thought woulde true.
Jionni was here, protecting her, and he was enraged.
