《My not so Peaceful Dungeon Life》 Prologue My name is Shiro. I live in a one bedroom apartment in USA. My hobbies include playing games and reading books. A job? No, I don''t have one of those. Stop, I know what you are thinking. I''m not some lowlife NEET who is using her parents inheritance to live a worry free life. The reason I don''t have a job is because of my appearance not because of a lack of motivation. It''s true, I swear. I am 142 centimeter tall girl with long white hair and large green eyes and a face that makes people whisper, "Look! She is so cute!" when I walk down the street. Not that I ever walk down the street, I mainly stay in my room. Right now though, I am going to a department store to apply for a job because my parents say they won''t keep paying for this apartment after my first year and that I need to get a job. They said this job would be a good idea but nobody will hire a child to sell something even if I am 19. Stupid parents this job will never work! I suddenly hear the man walking behind me scream "Watch out!" This guy ticks me off, he is so loud! Can''t he tell my day is already terrible? I spin around and scream, "What do you want?!" Suddenly, I heard a loud noise coming from my left.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "BEEEEEEEEEE!" Slam! A car hits me on my left, just as I start to turn around to face the noise. I scrape across the asphalt as my tiny body starts rolling across the hard street. The tires screech as the car that hit me stops and pulls over. A tall man gets out of the car that hit me and runs toward me leaving his door open.Heleans over me and starts saying something but I can''t make out what he is saying. I can just barely make out some people around me because my vision is getting a little hazy. Some people are on the sidewalk screaming and others calling people on their phones that I can only can assume are the police. Mothers are covering their childrens¡¯ eyes with her hands. One young man is puking as he leans against the telephone pole. I guess my appearance must be pretty bad after this if someone is puking. Shit, a new update was going to come out in my game today. I really doubt I''m going to be playing video games any time soon. I wish I never had to leave my room then this kind of thing would have never happened. All of the sudden, I hear a clear monotone voice say, "Understood, system will begin analyzing request." Ugh, I can hardly tell right now but I thought I couldn''t hear. Maybe that is the tall guy who hit me talking. He has a rather calm voice for someone who just hit somebody. "System analysis finished. Soul transfer into entity Core #293 will now begin." Chapter 1: Awakening Upon waking up my eye instantly open. Or rather my eyes never open it''s more like my conscience was turned on. In my vision I can make out a dark room with a small, white rock in the middle. For some reason I understand that this small, white, perfectly round rock is me. A dungeon core. And this dark room that I am floating in is my dungeon. The fact that my point of view is not from my body would be giving me headache if I hadn¡¯t played so many 3rd person shooters. Not that that is all I played. I played my fair share of fantasy adventure games and have enjoyed the classics like D & D and Dragon Quest. I am fully equipped to deal with this shitty situation. Or wait now that I think of it is this even in the fantasy genre? This could be some futuristic world where my goblins will just be pelted with laser beams. I¡¯ll need to figure that out but first I need to figure out how being a dungeon core works. I have read an extensive amount of isekais and am capable of figuring out this situation. Now, I am going to try the classic. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯ ...Nothing. Actually there are multiple issues here. One would be that nothing happened. This is a major blow to my pride as a useless member of society. The other issue would be that my voice didn¡¯t come out. This isn¡¯t that surprising when I consider that fact that I am now a rock. Yah no, having a voice as a rock would just be plain weird when I think about it. So¡­ How do I do this whole dungeon thing? Oh wait, I used appraisal maybe it¡¯s not working because appraisal is used on others. I definitely felt something when I used it. Like something clicked in my head. I think I probably have the ability to appraise things. I guess I¡¯ll try it on something other than my new majestic form. I¡¯ll try appraising the walls around me. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Dungeon Wall A sturdy wall made of stone found in dungeons.
Ok so this screen popped up so I can definitely use appraisal. I guess then maybe status is what you use on yourself? ¡®Status!¡¯
Dungeon Core lvl 1

Core #293, huh. I guess I do remember something like that while I was dying. But really, only 5 mana? I find it unlikely that a goblin can be afforded with 5 mana. How am I supposed to make an unbeatable dungeon with a 5 mana cap!? And I don¡¯t have any DP either. 1M/day is kinda slow recharge and there is no cap on the DP and there is no generation rate section for DP so I probably don¡¯t get it without doing something. Maybe there is a quest log to get more. ¡®Quest Log!¡¯ Yah no there is no quest log. I probably get in a more dungeon like way. Like killing adventurers. Or maybe killing adventurers. I think I get it by killing adventurers. Yah how else would I get it. It would be weird if a rock had a quest log. Then again it is weird that a rock can think and see. Now onto building the impenetrable fortress. Yes, I can already see my future dungeon. I will have a massive black castle with a pitch black cloud always hanging over it in the sky with omonis crows flying around it. I¡¯ll have my 4 strongest monsters fight the brave heros one at a time like a complete moron starting from the weakest instead of using all 4 at once. Then after my crushing defeat I will let them have an audience with me only to be crushed into tiny rocks under their feet. Nope, don¡¯t think I will do that. For now there doesn¡¯t seem to be a way inside my dungeon unless people teleport in. I¡¯m not too sure how being a dungeon works but I seem to be able to see anything that is part of my dungeon and I am not aware of any teleport pad outside of my dungeon so I don¡¯t think that is how people enter a dungeon. At least for now I¡¯m confident that people won¡¯t come barging into my new house. So, thinking about other ways that this works in fantasy novels there is always this one. ¡®Dungeon Menu!¡¯
Add Room
Choose Starting Species
Evolve Creatures
Expand Room
Purchase Items
Research
Summon Creatures
OOOOOOH. It works. And it is amazing! NOT! What is up with these option.Like''Expand room'' are you kidding me these are my abilities? This is lame! I have so few options! Where is magic missiles? Or fire ball? For now I suppose choosing my starting species is definitely my first priority. I focus on the words and a new screen appears in front of the one I was just looking at.
Banshee R
Dark Wolf R
Fire Serpent R
Earth Golem R
Triton C
Imp C
Kobold C
Slime C
Sprite C
I can only assume that R and C stand for rare and common so a rare choice seems better I wonder if I can get a description of these monsters though. This is appraisal¡¯s time to shine! ¡®Appraisal!¡¯Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Banshee A species made up of only females. They use their horrifying screams to paralyze enemies.
Dark Wolf A wolf with dark fur with a good affinity with the dark element. This creature perfers to fight with sneak attacks and is generally stronger than other monsters at early levels.
Fire Serpent A small snake with a good affinity with the fire element. This creature has a large potential through evolution and is rumored to even evolve into a dragon.
Earth Golem A strong humanoid golems made of rock and earth. This creature has a good affinity with the earth element and fights with its vast strength and toughness.
Triton A species of fierce warriors and shamans who can control the water. These creatures live in the water and can gain classes like humans do.
Imp A small humanoid with black skin that likes to fight in packs. It is individually very weak.
Kobold A dog like humanoid that stands on its hind legs that fight in swarms. Known for their good sence of smell and the ability to gain a class.
Slime A small resilient creature that dies if its core is damaged. Slimes grow bigger to survive and protect their cores.
Sprite A creature that fights with mind attacks and magic. Sprites lack a physical body and can only be hurt with magic.
So starting from the top. Banshees scream and are loud so I don¡¯t want them in my house! That is assuming I can hear but since I have no way of checking I won¡¯t risk it. Next is dark wolves. These could be pretty good since my dungeon is very dark they would be able to sneak around and they have high base stats. I¡¯ll keep that as an option for now. Next up, fire serpents. These sound pretty good since they are small at the start and my dungeon is rather small and they have a large potential. Maybe they could evolve into a dragon! I don¡¯t really know how strong they are to start which is concerning but they could also be a good choice. The next option is earth golems which are kinda lame. Every dungeon normally has golems. if I use them too how would I be the strongest? I have to be unique! A big no on the golems. Next are tritons. There is a major issue with picking tritons. I don¡¯t care about how fierce of a warrior they are if they can¡¯t breath! Triton¡¯s live in the water! There is no water in this room! A definite no on tritons. Imps and kobolds both have the same issue. They are common trash mobs used to overwhelm with numbers and right now I don¡¯t have much Mp or Dp to summon things with so I will pass on them. No Zerg rush today. Slimes make me think of ecchi stuff so maybe when I have a better dungeon I can use them in a trap but for now I think I will pass since slimes are known for being weak. Next are sprites. Honestly I want to summon sprites just because I am curious what they look like since they have no physical body. But I must not be tempted. My first monster not having a physical body would be an issue since it could not really stop somebody from killing me. My narrowed down options seem to be dark wolves or fire serpents. With the goal of making the strongest dungeon ever to keep people from bothering me in mind I have made my decision. I¡¯ll pick the fire serpent since it has a high potential. And dragons! If it can become a dragon all the more reason to choose it. ¡®Fire Serpent I choose you!¡¯ I guess that isn¡¯t how this works. Maybe I just have to focus on the fire serpent option.
''Fire Serpent'' chosen as starting species. 50% reduced mana cost to summon ''Fire Serpents''. Increased evolution rate for ''Fire Serpent'' species and future evolutions of ''Fire Serpent''. Because you have a subordinate the title ''Leader'' has been gained.
OOOH I get a discount on summoning fire serpents and they will naturally evolve faster?! If it has a high potential and evolves faster this is a great choice. Good job me. I¡¯m proud of me. Now I will try summoning one. ¡®Dungeon Menu!¡¯ The same menu appears but now it is missing the option to choose a starting species. This kinda makes sense. I already did that. Ah I got off track. Right, now focus on the ¡®Summon Creatures¡¯ option.
Fire Serpent 10Mp(-5Mp) R
Goblin 2Mp C
This new menu is way to simple. My only options are goblin and fire serpent. I guess I probably have to use the research area in the menu in order to unlock new species. Or maybe more is available once I level up. Either way for now I only have two choices and one is obviously better. Goblins. With lots of goblins I can Zerg rush my enemy with numbers! NOT! I think I will just summon the one that has all the bonuses for now. I focus on the ¡®Fire Serpent¡¯ option in the menu and the screen in front of me suddenly disappears and there is a small snake on the ground. It has a mainly red body with the occasional black ring around its body. It looks like is about 75 cm long if it fully extended. Now the big question. I know it has a big potential but how strong is my first minion? ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Fire Serpent lvl 1 Name: Hp: 9/9 Mp: 0/0
Stats:
Str: 4(+2) Int: 0 Dex: 6 Spd: 9
Vit: 2 Wis: 0 Luk: 3 End: 5
I can tell it is mainly focused on speed and dexterity but now that I think about it I don¡¯t know if these stats are good. I don¡¯t seem to have any stats since I¡¯m not a living creature so I don¡¯t really have anything to compare it to. For that matter I don¡¯t even know what each of these stats mean for sure. I guess I¡¯ll try focusing on the key words here. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Hp A creature dies upon reaching 0 hp.
Mp Increases the number of spells a creature can cast.
Str Increases a creature''s physical damage.
Int Increases a creature''s magical damage.
Dex Increases a creature''s fine motor controls and makes them better at using their hands.
Spd Increases a creature''s overall movement speed.
Vit Increases a creature''s Hp regeneration rate.
Wis Increases a creature''s Mp regeneration rate.
Luk Increases a creature''s luck. This stat can not be raised after brith unless the creature is blessed.
End Increases a creature''s overall endurance.
Ok so this means that it has a fast speed and is flexible and good with its hands. Oh wait it doesn¡¯t have those! It¡¯s like a bad game! I wonder if summoning monster is linked to gaining DP? I still have no clue how to gain DP after all. ¡®Status!¡¯

Although I didn¡¯t get any DP I have a new title. I guess I will have to appraise the title and see if it is any good. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Leader Increases all monster subordinates strength by +2.
This is very good effect for swarm type monsters. I might have to summon some of those goblins I saw in the menu earlier. Zerg rush here I come! Chapter 2: Expansion It has now been 5 days since I summoned my fire serpent and I am now at full mana again. Thankfully it doesn¡¯t appear that the fire serpent needs food since it lives in a dungeon. Or maybe that is just how creatures work in this world. To my surprise I wasn¡¯t really that concerned that it might be starving like I would have been in my past life. I guess becoming a dungeon core has removed my emotions for the most part. I think this is a good thing because it will help my logical thinking. Since I now have 5 mana I believe that it is time to spend it so that way I don¡¯t waste my mana. I have decided that at some point I need a human to come into my dungeon in order to test if I get Dp from them being inside it or from killing them. Plus, the only way to summon the legendary sword ¡®Iron Sword¡¯ or the ultimate magic item ¡®Eerie Torch¡¯ in my ''Purchase Item'' menu is with Dp so I believe that getting Dp will be essential to having an eerily lit dungeon. However before I get humans into my dungeon I need to for one, dig an entrance into my dungeon, and two, protect my core. To protect my core I must make traps in my dungeon. ¡®Dungeon Menu!¡¯

3rd Room Allows for a third room to be built using the ''Add Room'' option of the ''Dungeon Menu''.
New weapons Allows for new weapons to be purchased in the ''Purchase Item'' option of the ''Dungeon Menu''.
New creatures Allows for new creatures to be summoned in the ''Summon Creatures'' option of the ''Dungeon Menu''.
New evolutions Allows for a random monster from the ''Summon Monster'' option to gain a new evolution in the ''Evolve Creatures'' option of the ''Dungeon Menu''.
Most of these are no good for now except maybe the new evolution but then I might get one for goblins instead of fire serpents. I select the only good option ¡®Trap Menu¡¯ by focusing on it.
New option ''Trap Menu'' added to ''Dungeon Menu'' skill.
Alright! Now, I wonder what kind of traps I got? I leave the research page of the menu. I find the new option easily since they are in alphabetical order. Focusing in on ¡®Trap Menu¡¯ to open it up and I immediately use the essential skill. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Pit Fall20 Mp Causes the floor to open up under enough pressure leading to a 4 meter fall.
Trip Wire2 Mp A thin sturdy wire that will trip careless adventurers.
Spider Webs1 Mp Sticky webs to annoy pesky adventurers. Give them what they deserve!
Puzzle Door5 Mp A door that will not open until a chosen puzzle is solved.
Poisonous Plant10 Mp A tasty snack for careless adventurers who forgot their supplies.
The system doesn''t seem to think very highly of adventurer lives. Maybe we should start a rally. ''Adventurer lives matter!'' ¡®Research¡¯ you are so much cooler than ¡®Summon Creatures¡¯ you actually give me such useful stuff. I don¡¯t know much about how strong people are but I don¡¯t think a 4 strength snake can beat an adventurer even if by leader title give it +2. These kind of traps can actually slow people down or kill them! Traps rule!Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.
It has been 5 days and my mana is finally back up to full. I know that I¡¯m a dungeon core and that I shouldn¡¯t be able to feel emotions but I got kind of bored of watching a snake sleep for 5 days. Not that he ever actually seems to sleep he just doesn¡¯t move. Maybe it is the benefit of being a dungeon monster. Actually, I haven''t slept since I became a dungeon core so maybe it is an effect all dungeons have. But then again I am a rock so it would be weird if I slept. With 5 mana I select the option ¡®Build Room¡¯ in the dungeon menu and think about where I want it to go. After deciding to put it in front of me a new room appears. Not that any side isn¡¯t in front of me since I am looking at myself from the third person. It was just the side of the wall I was looking at. Curious about my new room I slowly drift move my core into it. Oh yeah I can do that. 8 days after being born and spending my time looking at myself I realized it was weird that a rock was floating and tried to move. Turn out I can! Floating into this new room I realize that it is just like my other room except it doesn¡¯t have a snake. I take that back it is just like my other room except this one does have a snake. It looks like my minion also was interested in the new room. Welcome to your new home of you dreams! It is the exact same as your old one. Enjoy your stay!
Day 15 in the wild. I¡¯m running out of food and soon I might have to eat the red snake that could be poisonous. NOT! I don¡¯t get hungry as a dungeon core! This is so much better for me as a NEET because I don¡¯t need to buy food. After being bored for a while I decided to check out how I was looking and this is what I got. ¡®Status!¡¯

''owo what''s this!?'' That is right I leveled up when I built the room and now my mana related stuff DOUBLED. I am not sure if I get +5 max Mp and 1 Mp/day or if it doubles when I level up since it could be either. In order to find this out I have decided to buy another room only to find I have to research the ability to have 3 rooms! It costs 10 mana to do that no way! At least there are new research options though. It took me 5 days to get my mana back to full and I want a change in scenery outside of another empty cube! That is it, I¡¯m opening this dungeon for business. Just because I am a NEET doesn¡¯t mean that I don¡¯t like the sun! ¡®Dungeon Menu!¡¯

I focus on the expand room option and make a straight tunnel out of the right side of the wall making an L shape with my two rooms and tunnel draining me of 5 Mp. Agh the light! It burns! Oh wait no it doesn¡¯t. I guess I should say as expected of a dungeon core. I am very adaptable. It seems that my snake won¡¯t leave the dungeon. Now that I think of it, it is inconvenient to just refer to it as snake. I guess I could give it a name. Hmm It has red and black scales. Uuu mmm. Nope nothing is coming to me. Maybe I should give it a cool name like Core #293. No I better not, it doesn¡¯t deserve that cool of a name. A name like my old one, Shiro, is more its speed. I had white hair, he has mainly red scales¡­ That is it! He will be Aka!
Fire Serpent has gained the name ''Aka''
Ok, there is no status buff for naming a monster like there was in some of the books I read. I am going to check out my surroundings a bit. Floating over to the new tunnel I made I find that it won¡¯t quite let me leave the tunnel. Sigh, thus is the life of a dungeon core. Looking out of my tunnel, I see that I have a very high vantage point and am most likely on the side of a mountain. There is a path running perpendicular to my tunnel that is probably used for caravans to cross the mountain based off of the fact that it is dirt. This is good info, if it was asphalt or futuristic laser strip roads I was not sure how Aka would hold up defending my dungeon against guns. It seems like a pretty normal fantasy setting. Looking out the sun is about to set so that means that the tunnel I just dug was towards the West. The landscape around the mountain seems to be a large forest to the West. For the other directions, who knows! In the forest what looks to be about a km down the road that winds through the forest there seems to be a nice village. It looks like they are having some kind of festival because everyone is out and about and there are caravans all over the place. Oh, SHIT! What have I done. I¡¯m a dungeon and I just opened myself up with only Aka to protect me! I need to fix this! ¡®Undo!¡¯ ¡®Fill in!¡¯ ¡®Control Z!¡¯ I¡¯m no Mac user but maybe this world uses Macs! Yes, that has to be it! ¡®Command Z!¡¯ Ugh, no way. Command z doesn¡¯t work either?! What a noob mistake I could have bought a lot of rooms before I opened my dungeon up and now I can¡¯t fill in this tunnel. I feel like banging my head against a wall. I don¡¯t have a head so I guess I¡¯ll just float into the wall. ¡°Tinnngggg!¡±
You have lost 1 durability!
Oh, Shit. I guess I better not do that anymore. Wait how do I even heal? I¡¯m a dungeon core I don¡¯t have anything like a vit stat. Ok, calm down the main issue at hand is stopping any further damage to my core that the humans might try to deal to me. I guess I¡¯ll use my new ¡®Trap Menu¡¯. Using my last 5Mp, I quickly select the most logical choice for a low level civilization, ¡®Puzzle Door¡¯ and install it at the end of the tunnel right in front of Aka¡¯s room. HAHAHA take that humans, I¡¯d like to see you solve a puzzle form my world. The difference in development will be quite large between these civilizations based off of what I have seen. Beat this puzzle a 5x5 Rubik¡¯s Cube! You normies who think a 3x3 is hard should go explode! Actually I am a dungeon now I might be able to make the normies who can¡¯t solve it explode at some point. A floating 5x5 Rubik¡¯s Cube is now right in front of the door and it won¡¯t open until they solve it! Unless they bust down the door that is¡­ Can they do that? I really hope not. I will see what the door is like. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Dungeon Door A sturdy door made of wood found in dungeons.
Skill ''Appraisal'' has leveled up. Gained Appraisal lvl 2.
Nice, Appraisal lvl 2! But more importantly, the door is sturdy.If it¡¯s sturdy it should be fine right. The ¡®Dungeon Wall¡¯ is also sturdy so they should be as tough as a stone wall! Ok, wait the wall only cost me 5 Mp to tunnel through. Is it really that sturdy? Nah it is pretty sturdy. It is made out of stone after all and even made this mighty core lose one durability on it. Hopefully it was just easy to do that because of my wonderful ¡®Dungeon Menu¡¯ skill. Well even if that isn¡¯t the case there is nothing I can do about it since I am out of mana. Oh well I hope I don¡¯t die. Chapter 3: Humans!? It has been 4 days since I bought the puzzle door and something has been bothering me and that is that I can¡¯t see behind my puzzle door! There is no window. Nowhere to look though! How am I supposed to know if there is somebody who has seen my dungeon? So I have been thinking about the other side of this door a lot. It is a big mystery. Well not really either there is either nothing or there is a guy playing with my Rubik¡¯s Cube just outside my door. You might say thinking about such foolish things is a waste of time but¡­ It is not like I have a better use for my time. After focusing really hard about this dilemma a blue screen suddenly popped up!
New skill ''Dungeon Sense'' learned
Ok this could be just what I needed. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Dungeon Sense A creature with this skill is capable of seeing anything in their dungeon''s domain.
With this I can see the other side of the door! Eh! There is a guy using my Rubik¡¯s Cube! OMG OMG OMG OMG! What do I do. He¡¯s going to kidnap me and use me for my 2 Mp a day and suck it out of me. I am going to be used! OMG! OK! Calm down. Deep breaths. Deep breaths. Come on. Deep breaths. Shit I can¡¯t breath! I¡¯m dying! NOT. I just don¡¯t breath I¡¯m a rock you know. But really what do I do. I don¡¯t know if he can solve it or not so I guess all I can really do right now is watch. After a while of watching I got this neat message.
A human has entered your dungeon or been in it for a day. +1 Dp
Looking at the message I chose to analyze the ¡®Dp¡¯ because thinking about it I have no clue what it actually is.
Dp A dungeon point can be used to purchase items or to gain 5 Mp.
What? You can transfer a DP for 5 Mp? And I got 1 Dp for this guy being in my dungeon for an hour?! This definitely encourages me to let humans into my dungeon. Maybe I¡¯ll get even more for killing them. ¡®Aka sick em!¡¯ Oh, shit! Aka is actually trying to get through the door the kill him! ¡®Aka stop it!¡¯ I guess this means I can command my minion. No, wait this much should have been obvious. Aka is my minion of course he obeys my command. Thinking about it could Aka beat this man? Let metry it. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Human lvl 7
¡­ This guy is a merchant and he is level 7. I can¡¯t seem to see his stats or skills but he is obviously not combat oriented. Thinking about it I can¡¯t see Aka¡¯s skills either.

No, I guess Aka is still too powerful for me to see his skills. Not that he is that powerful he is only lvl 1. I guess a lvl 2 skill can only go so far. That fact that he is my minion might have something to do with the fact I can even see his stats. I¡¯ll have to appraise a lot in my free time to level this up so that way I can learn how strong my opponents are. ¡®Dungeon Menu!¡¯ I focusing on the ¡®Evolve Creatures¡¯ option.
Evolve ''Fire Serpent'' (Random) 10 Mp
Increase ''Fire Serpent'' Exp 1 Mp
Evolve ''Goblin'' (Random) 5Mp
Evolve ''Goblin'' 10 Mp
Increase ''Goblin'' Exp 1 Mp
I have came to a realization. I am able to spend my Mp to help level up my minions without them having to fight. One would say that waiting and evolving Aka is a good idea but that costs 10 Mp which I don''t have it is a random evolution but I don¡¯t think that is a big deal. Any evolution is probably a good thing for Aka. For now though I¡¯ll spend one Mp to help increase Aka¡¯s level.

What? Your evolution was not useless Aka? Interestingly the level carried over between evolution. But you have magic now Aka! Your chuunibyou form is not useless! I am sorry for making fun of you Aka. But now that his stats are better could Aka kill a sleeping merchant? I have a total of 19 str among my army. Hopeing this is enoughI quietly open my dungeons door and have my 3 minions sneak out. I close the door behind them incase they lose to the merchant so that way he won¡¯t be able to get in. I need to make sure I win though so that he won¡¯t report my dungeon to the town and bring a nerd to solve the Rubik¡¯s Cube. My minions get on the other side of him with Aka in the center and a goblin on each side of him. Aka¡¯s head goes up in the air looking down on the sleeping merchant and the goblins on either side start pushing their claws forward. The first goblins claw sticks into the man¡¯s neck as his eyes snap open and he starts to scream.
''Goblin'' has dealt a critical hit -12 Hp physical damage
At the same time the other goblin slashes down the Man¡¯s right leg tearing down to the bone with his long claws.
''Goblin'' has dealt -6Hp physical damage
Aka¡¯s fangs simultaneously are set on fire! This must be the magic Aka learned! He snaps forward with his high speed and bite straight through the man¡¯s arm!
''Aka'' has dealt -7Hp physical damage -14Hp magical damage
The combination of magic and physical attack does a huge amount of damage as the defenceless merchant starts to cough up blood from the wound to his neck. The man¡¯s eyes roll back into his head and he goes limp.
''Human Merchant'' has died +600 Exp
Good job Aka! As the man dies his body starts turning into ash that seeps through the floor of my dungeon!
Title ''Enemy of the Human'' gained
Let me quick appraise this title I got.
Enemy of the Human +1 to all stats for non-humanoid monsters under your command
Wow, this is really good I¡¯ll have to make sure not to use a humanoid as my swarm type monster since they won¡¯t get this buff though. Maybe I could use rats or bats or something like that.
Dungeon has absorbed ''Human Merchant'' +1 Dp per level +7 Dp
What¡¯s this though? 7 Dp for an easy kill? That is worth a lot of mana if I convert it! This is great! Plus there is the loot in the caravan this man owned which I will have my goblins bring inside. ¡®Go forth my minions!¡¯ Huh? They won¡¯t leave the dungeon? Could it be that they can¡¯t leave the dungeon since they are my monsters? SHIT! Now there is going to be a massive give away! I can¡¯t even move the caravan! Hey this merchant died here! Why don¡¯t I just put a sign up? Ugh I better get my minions back inside before anything else happens. For now the best use of my DP is to improve my Mp per day so I spend 3 Dp to first research a 3rd room and then create it in line with my other two. The next room costs 15 Mp to research so I dump my last 4 Dp into researching the fourth room and buying it. Now for the juicy stuff! The level ups! Let me check everyone¡¯s status!

Chapter 4: A Fungus Among us 2 days after my encounter with the nice merchant (you will be forgotten) another caravan pulled up behind the one that I couldn¡¯t move. This one seemed to have one driver and two guards. One of the guard is wearing robes and carries a staff while the other has a large sword on their back and is 100% muscle. Upon peering into my dungeon I hear the the robed one who I assume is a wizard exclaim, ¡°It¡¯s a dungeon!¡± To which the large man replies, ¡°Has it been discovered yet?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Replies the wizard. After talking about the money they will get for discovering a new dungeon they decided to just up and leave! Are you kidding me I can¡¯t even kill them unless they go in. Now a bunch of adventurers are going to start coming to my home! No way! Mr. Merchant make them come in my dungeon please! No, way what do you think you are doing! Ugh¡­ They left. I was hoping to get my fifth room soon too. Now I have to make my defences better. I doubt that an adventurer will be an easy kill even after the sleeping merchant gave me his free exp. There is no way I can win without a new powerup. ¡®Dungeon Menu¡¯

Learn Skill ''Mind Magic'' 50 Mp
Mind Magic A spell that allows one to communicate telepathically and at higher levels influence one''s thoughts.
Learn Skill ''Body Manipulation'' 200 Mp
Body Manipulation Allows one to freely move their body and at higher levels can even change their appearance and body structure.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
Expand Domain 25 Mp
Expand Domain Allows for one to claim pre existing land and structures as part of their domain. At higher levels allows one to claim above and below ground.
What is with these skills!? I want these! Why do they have to cost so much? Let me start from the top. Mind magic will let me talk to the humans and tell them that I am not a bad core and that it wasn¡¯t me. Wait, that ain¡¯t going to work. Maybe it would be cool at a high level but for now I don¡¯t have the time to raise my skill levels. I mean ¡®Appraisal¡¯ is at level two and I appraised my wall for a whole day! But with body manipulation it sounds like at a high level I will be able to make a human form. A human form! I miss my human form there were so many pleasures to partake in. I miss my potato chips. Wait does this world even have potato chips? NOOOOOOO, my greatest joy in life might be gone. I¡¯ll have to make my own potato chips. That sounds like so much work maybe I can get them out of the purchase item menu later. But ¡®Expand Domain¡¯. That is a whole nother story. It is like the capable man who brings home enough money every day for food. With a skill like ¡®Expand Domain¡¯ I could get lots of Dp every day. If I could expand my dungeon just 1 km I will have that village as part of my dungeon. But these are soooooo expensive. 200 Mp is way beyond the limit of my Mp. Let me try out the ¡®New Creatures¡¯ option of the menu.
Gain Random New Creature 5 Mp
Bat 5 Mp
Spider 10 Mp
Orc 25 Mp
Troll 50 Mp
Dark Wolf 50 Mp
Right now the only options I can afford are a random monster or a bat and let me be real here. Who ever heard of death by bats. Although my bats would be pretty ripped with the +1 to every stat and +2 to strength but still. I need cooler fantasy monsters than bats. Like Aka. One day Aka will be the mighty dragon boss of my dungeon. That is the plan at least. So there is an obvious choice. I focus in on the words. Then suddenly the blue screen pops up and rapidly switches between a bunch of different species names. It¡¯s slowing down now and I can start to read them. OMG! A dragon! Oh it went away no luck. It¡¯s not moving and it says ¡®Hydra¡¯. This will be amazing! A hydra is just what I needed (assuming I can even afford it).
New creature ''Mushroom'' added to the ''Summon Creature'' option of the ''Dungeon Menu''
Eh? I wish I had a table right now so I could flip it. Not that I have ever experienced flipping a table I was too short to raise it high enough to actually tip. This mushroom had better be just as amazing as ¡®Dragon¡¯ or ¡®Hydra¡¯ would have been. I go to the ¡®Summon Creature¡¯ menu.
Fire Serpent 10Mp(-5Mp) R
Goblin 2Mp C
Mushroom 0Mp C
Well, I do believe 0 Mp is not a very costly summon. Maybe I actually got the best creature of the summon? Haha, after that long streak of failures on the gacha in my game, my gacha luck must be top notch! ¡®Appraisal¡¯ time to do your job. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Mushroom A fungus that is sometimes edible.
Well yes, that sounds like a mushroom. Not to sure what I was expecting. A walking mushroom that is breathing poison or something. Maybe I got ahead of myself when I said my gacha luck was getting better. This is definitely a turn for the worse. I guess I will summon a few and maybe once I have that ¡®Body Manipulation¡¯ skill I can eat them. It¡¯s a good thing I am a Dungeon Core now or I might be drooling. Yes, this is definitely the plan let me add some in. ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± This is kinda fun! It¡¯s like a clicker game! I haven¡¯t played one of these since I died! ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡± ¡°Sproing!¡±
Oh, no! There is no room left in this room to summon mushroom! OMG! What have I done? I totally wasted an entire room!
New title ''Fungus Dungeon'' gained
''Appraisal!''
Fungus Dungeon Increased chance for funguses in your dungeon to naturally mutate and evolve.
Wait? Maybe a giant walking mushroom that breathes poison is in my future. Mushrooms rule! Side 1 I¡¯m the guild master of Ruran town. I used to be a famous B rank adventurer from the capital in the adventurer team Lightning Fang. Our adventurer team was ranks as an A rank team and we were known across the continent for our exploits. We slayed a dragon, conquered the unbeatable dungeon known as Wizard¡¯s Tower, and even slayed a kraken that was stopping a third of the continent from fishing. But after that the other 4 members of my party got married to each other! The 2 happy couples made me be their best man even and they all retired! How come I¡¯m the only one who gets left out? After they settled down I got stuck with this lousy job. That damn king said that he had the perfect job for an experienced adventurer and I would be helping fight incoming monsters in a town on the edge of the kingdom. Of course no monsters actually come here because the court magician had to make his new magic ¡®Warding Magic¡¯ that repels monsters. I have had absolutely nothing to do except train 3rd class adventurers and sign paperwork the last 6 years. I mean how was I supposed to tell the king that I didn¡¯t want the position when he officially announced it like that without even telling me the details! Today, though I might have my first good fight in ages. ¡°Sir, you really can¡¯t go you need to finish these 3 stacks of papers!¡± Damn, secretary trying to keep me from the action. ¡°So, what did the dungeon look like? Could you tell what kind of a dungeon it was or what monsters it had?¡± ¡°N-no, Mr. Goswin, but it might be a puzzle dungeon with some sort of trap to kill the adventurers.¡±A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. Shit, I always used to leave the puzzles to Martin because he could solve them easily. His spirit magic would always guide him to figure out the puzzles like they didn¡¯t even exist. ¡°So, you are sure that that merchant died in the dungeon?¡± ¡°Y-y-yes! His caravan was left u-unlooted so it couldn¡¯t have been bandits. It is the only option that m-makes sense.¡± ¡°Hey, kid do you have any light spells?¡± The little nervous kid is probably only good for being a torch in the dungeon. ¡°Y-y-yes sir I, I can do that!¡± ¡°Show me to this dungeon, I¡¯ll let you take 50% of the loot just don¡¯t get in my way!¡± I sling my broadsword onto my back and put my helmet on. The fangs on the helmet droop in front of my face. It was our teams signature look, we all had fangs on our helmets. This sure brings me back to the good old days. ¡°Sir, sit back down you need to finish your work!¡± This secretary sure is firm on keeping the same schedule. ¡°Just sign them for me, nobody will notice!¡± ¡°Sir it is not okay to slack on your duty!¡± I pick up one of the kids who saw the dungeon and sling him over my back like a sack of potatoes as I leave the room. ¡°Now you said it was on the mountain side right kid?¡± ¡°Y-yes sir!¡± Alright I haven¡¯t gotten to use my 290 spd in a long time, I hope this kid can handle it because I don¡¯t want to slow down to his pace. ¡°Kid, if you have to puke, puke behind you don¡¯t get it on me.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± With my 250 end I can sprint the whole time up the mountain so I should able to get there in a few hours. ¡°Waaaaaaaiiiiit!¡± Chapter 5: Macho Man It has only been 2 days since the caravan with the adventurers discovered my dungeon and there is already bad new! This macho man is now in front of my dungeon with the poor, frail looking wizard slung over his shoulders with his eyes swimming around. I mean the poor kid kept getting slammed against this macho man¡¯s back the whole way up here by the looks of how he carried him. But right now I don¡¯t have time to worry about this kid¡¯s condition. I am a dungeon core I must stay firm and not experience emotions. The issue right now is the musclehead trying to solve the Rubik¡¯s Cube. Although I have no idea how strong he is, if his muscle is anything to go by he must be exceptionally powerful. When I appraised the kid who is now puking outside my dungeon this is what I got.
Human lvl 21
Human lvl ?
There is a huge difference in how epic their class names sound. ¡®Wizard Apprentice¡¯ and ¡®Blood Barbarian¡¯ are like on a whole other league. One is a kid is going to a school for wizards with his pet owl while one is fighting on the battlefields cleaving people in half left and right with no fear of death. From the classes I have seen so far I have no reason to not believe he is the strongest human I have seen. So far I have seen ¡®Merchant¡¯, ¡®Wizard Apprentice¡¯, the man riding the caravan who I forgot to appraise, the well built adventurer who I forgot to appraise, and ¡®Blood Barbarian¡¯. It is understood that this guy is on a whole other level.And this is what I got when I appraised macho man! So for that reason he it is a good thing he is a musclehead. Because I won¡¯t be able to stop him if he gets past the Rubik¡¯s Cube. Or at least I don¡¯t think I can. Actually wait a minute. Why don¡¯t I just appraise these classes? I do it all the time with my titles and with the dungeon menu so why shouldn¡¯t it work on these guys? ''Appraisal!''
Wizard Apprentice The first class in the wizard path known for their devastating large spells. Requirements: Must be able to cast a spell.
Blood Barbarian A ruthless barbarian that gains temporary stat bonuses for each kill they get in battle. Requirements: Must be at least level 100. Must kill over 1000 foes in one battle.
Oh, it actually worked. I honestly wasn¡¯t expecting that. Now let me read what these guys classes are like. Ok, so ¡®Wizard Apprentice¡¯ is a basic class that someone can learn just by casting magic. My scouter says this guy''s power level is only 10. Now let me check out ¡®Blood Barbarian¡¯. It¡¯s over 9000! What? There is no way that can be right! A minimum level of 100 in the class and having slain 1000 foes in one battle are the requirements for his class? That is like way more power leveling than I have done! I didn¡¯t spawn in a starting village at all! This is endgame content right here! I can¡¯t even see his level it is to high! I want a refund! This is a bad game! What is with this crazy difficulty level? At least I have my trusty 5x5 Rubik¡¯s Cube to keep me safe. I need to stop marveling at this guy¡¯s stat screen and actually check how he is doing in the dungeon. Tihihihi. Hahahah! AHAAAHAAAHAAA! Yay, I did a 3 part laugh! Now I can cross that off my bucket list. This little idiot is rage quitting. I bet if he had a keyboard right now he would throw it across the room. Look now he is punching the Rubik¡¯s Cube! To bad, everything in this dungeon says it is sturdy when I appraise it. Nothing you can do with your muscles macho man!If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. ¡°AGHHHHHH!¡± Slam! The muscle man give the sturdy door a piece of his mind! No cheating my dungeon, this door is sturdy there is nothing you can do about it! Hmh? He is leaving. No wait don¡¯t go you haven¡¯t been here long enough for me to get the tasty Dp! Speaking of Dp, kid stop passing out, wake up, and get inside my dungeon already. What is this? The muscle man is turning around. He is trying to run into the Rubik¡¯s Cube? Dummy that isn¡¯t how this puzzle works. Oh, he just ran past the Rubik¡¯s Cube. The muscle man is putting his elbow in front of him and sprinting as fast as he can into the door. With a mighty lead right in front of the door with his full weight behind it he attempts to break down the door! To bad it is sturdy. Your just a muscle man what can you do? Oh, wow! He actually made the door shake when he hit it. I guess a sturdy door can only take you so far in life. Uh oh. Muscle man is going for try two now but this time with his massive sword! The muscle man pulls the sword that is almost as big as the kid behind him out of its sheath and prepares for another running start. I¡¯m sorry I called you a muscle head! Put the sword down we can talk this out! A sturdy door can only take so much this is abuse! Huh? The sword just kinda bounce off my door there. I know it is a sturdy door but it is made out of wood. Shouldn¡¯t it be in pieces by now? Is the wood in this dungeon made out of the world tree or something? This door is too strong! Don¡¯t come back until your power level is at least 10,000 normie. You can¡¯t even break down a door. So much for ¡®Blood Barbarian¡¯!
A human has entered your dungeon or been in it for a day. +3 Dp
Ooh there it is the sweet sweet Dp. It looks you have overstayed your welcome now muscle man you can leave. I wonder why I got 3 Dp though. The level 7 merchant only gave me 1 for being in my dungeon. I know that this muscle man is at least level 100 so maybe it scales off of level? If that is the case, wouldn¡¯t this guy be over level 300? I was just joking around when I said this guy¡¯s power level was over 9000 but I actually wish I could see this guy¡¯s stats now. Oh he left. At least he got to punch the wall on his way out. The poor kid is being carried back to the village again though. If he is going to die please bring his corpse to the dungeon so I can give him a proper burial. I might even be able to make a skeleton monster one day and I can name it after him you know. Honestly though this muscle man didn¡¯t even take the caravan with him when he left. Now to spend my Dp. ¡®Status!¡¯

I select the ¡®Repair Core¡¯ option and 1 Mp drains out of my body. A bright glow appears on the edge of my core where the chip used to be and a new perfectly white piece of stone takes its place. I now spend 2 of my Dp to max out and focus on the ¡®5th Room¡¯ option draining me of every last drop of Mp. I use the one other Dp I got from muscle man¡¯s stay to purchase the 5th room. The question is, where to put it? I think every good dungeon needs an optional boss that is out of the way so now seems like as good of a time as ever to make one. I make this room come out of the room just before my core room so this way you get to choose if you want to kill the dungeon now or fight one last boss and gain some levels. Now that I think of it people would only ever fight the optional boss in a video game. This is real like who is enough off a battle maniac to actually fight an optional boss? Ugh this is so frustrating. I want to float into the wall again but if I did that I would look like an idiot who never learns. Actually my parents told me I never learned a lot but I though they just held to high expectations for me. Could it be I¡¯m actually an idiot? No no, that can¡¯t be the case. These people can¡¯t even solve a 5x5 Rubik¡¯s Cube so clearly I am the cream of the crop when it comes to intelligence. Then again it did take me 3 months to solve it one time. But I persevered so my level headed abilities make me better than muscle man at least. My mind is even calmer now that I am a dungeon core so I bet I could keep trying to solve it for a year now and not give up. Actually now that I think of it, aren¡¯t I the idiot for not giving up? Chapter 6: Floor Boss? It has been 5 days since muscle man left and I now have a full 25 mana at my disposal. My main goal right now is to create a floor boss. What if some wizard nerd comes along and solves my Rubik¡¯s Cube? It is not as if another Rubik¡¯s Cube will be a formidable threat to them. So with the current goal in mind of getting something worthy of being a floor boss in mind, ¡®Dungeon Menu!¡¯

And then it hits me. To have a floor boss I need to have multiple floors don¡¯t I? Otherwise I may as well just call it a final boss. It doesn¡¯t matter what you call it you say? Of course it does! I need to make my dungeon in the proper order or I may as well not do it at all. To making the second floor! The ground begins to shake rapidly. The poor goblins both fall on their buts. I think if I still had my emotions I would be laughing at them right now. I wasn¡¯t a great person in my last life, trust me I know. Now to explore the new floor! If it made the ground shake it must be quite something. None of my other room additions did that they just kind of magicked into place. Heading down the nice rocky stairs(I bet they are sturdy) that are now in my core room, I notice my new floor is huge! I mean look at it! It is like a great hall or something. If I could be so honest. I see no point in adding rooms to this place. What point would there be in a tiny side room in the massive place. If it works the way I think it does I need to build 5 more rooms to get a third floor so hopefully I can build them on my first floor though. Now let¡¯s see if my mana pool has increased with this new floor! ¡®Status!¡¯

Is this because this new floor is as big as my first floor is? I don¡¯t know how it works but I like it! 10 Mp a day is like a dream. That is 5 goblins a day! Zerg rush!UwU! It doubled! Ok, I¡¯m not at that level yet but I think I am at the level where I could make Aka into a floor boss soon through his evolutions. Now that I think of it, I don¡¯t have any mana to make a floor boss now do I? Haha very funny it is not as if this wasn¡¯t my plan all along. I knew nobody would solve my Rubik¡¯s Cube today so I chose to upgrade my Mp/day first. Actually it took me 3 months to solve a Rubik¡¯s Cube with the internet, can these people really ever solve it? Maybe I should advertise my dungeon so that way I get more Dp. Right now my whole advertising thing is just a caravan that Mr. Merchant (you were not forgotten yet) left behind. I guess once somebody comes here and gives me some dp I can use it to my the holy artifact ¡®Eerie Torch¡¯ so that way people might stay the night. And I can always research new items in the research menu. Maybe someday I can buy a sign. Now then, it is time to rest my weary head. Not that I have a head. Or that I can feel weary. Guess I¡¯ll just watch the goblins to pass the time
I see. I see. Goblins are so boring to watch! I need to buy these guys a deck of cards so they are more entertaining all they do right now is grunt! I wish I saved some Dp to buy items! I wonder if a deck of cards and a sign can even pop up in the ¡®New Weapons¡¯ menu anyways. I beat my friends a lot with my deck of cards so I think I would call it a weapon. By the way, we weren''t friends anymore after about the 10th time in a row they lost all the money they bet. Maybe I should have been a pro gambler in my past life? Although I was bad at gachas so I don¡¯t know. Ah! I got side tracked. Back to making a floor boss. Aka your time has come my minion. You are no longer a minion, you are now a servant of this great me. Rejoice in your promotion. Aka, you could at least play along instead of just giving me the cold shoulder. I might even give you shoulders in your next evolution if you become a dragon! Eh? The cost to evolve Aka went up? What is with that? Least time he costed 10 Mp now he costs 25? I could get the ¡®Expand Domain¡¯ skill with that much Mp! I must not though. Every proper dungeon has to have a dragon and a floor boss. As of now I have neither. ¡®Expand Domain¡¯ you seem like a wonderful skill but you can wait. Now back to listening to goblins grunt at each other.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Yay! I have 30 Mp now(finally these goblins are boring even for a dungeon cores standards). Time to give Aka his random evolution! What!? Aka is evolving! No he is just shedding.

Anyway how are his skills now that I can see them? ''Appraisal!''
Fire Fang 5 Mp. Sets fangs on fire dealing 2xInt dmg.
Bite Deals damage equal to str.
Solar Light 5Mp causes a blinding light centered on the user.
Oh, ¡®Fire Fang¡¯ must be that skill he used on Mr. Merchant (damn you are hard to forget). And then I assume ¡®Solar Light¡¯ is the new skill you gained with this evolution? This would be pretty gould in combat since you can close your eyes before it happens and it doesn¡¯t cost that much Mp. once you are higher level couldn¡¯t you perma-blind with this skill? Your potential is already very large Aka (just like appraisal said). Maybe one day you can be one of my 4 demon generals. Now that I think of it I only have 2 minions and 1 servant. Congrats on your promotion, Aka. I should probably summon more minions soon if I ever want to have 4 demon generals. Aka keep carrying me!
It has been 3 days since Aka¡¯s evolution and I have came to realization that Aka is more fun to watch than the goblins. But I have saved up 35 mana so my first purchase will be ¡®Expand Domain¡¯ for 25 Mp!

Ohhh I guessed it right aren¡¯t I so cool. Wait that means it only cost me 5 mana and the town isn¡¯t even a kilometer out so this will be in my domain in no time. ¡®Expand Domain¡¯ Eh? But I only wanted another 50 square meters? How come it costs me 15 Mp now? I waited a long time to get this mana so I am going to spend it don¡¯t get in the way of my fun! I guess I will use ¡®Gain Random New Creature¡¯ with my last 5 Mp. Last time I almost got a hydra!
''Griffon''
Oh oh yes stop right there!
''Triton''
No no no please I don¡¯t need a triton! They can¡¯t breathe!
''Mushroom''
No I already have mushrooms how can you give them to me again! It really is a gacha!
''Arachnid''
Yes stop right here! That sounds good enough!
New creature ''Fairy'' added to the ''Summon Creature'' option of the ''Dungeon Menu''
I guess fairy isn¡¯t that bad. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Fairy An extinct humanoid known for its magic aura. Likes nature and can influence the growth of nature around them.
Huh? Fairies are extinct in this world? Well, I guess they are in my world too but¡­ This is a fantasy world fairies shouldn¡¯t be extinct. Maybe I should stick fairies in my treasure chests for adventurers. They are pretty rare after all if they are extinct! Chapter 7: Summoning It has now been 5 days since I gained the ability to summon a fairy. Fairies cost 25 Mp each so I could have summoned one two days ago but I wanted to summon them together. I didn¡¯t want one of my fairies to feel left out because that would be mean. I always got left out in my last life so I want to make sure that nobody is left out in my dungeon. I¡¯m very excited to have my first intelligent species. Sorry Aka I know your int stat is high but that doesn¡¯t mean you are intelligent. I was considering getting the telepathy skill first but I don¡¯t really want to wait around and would rather give my dungeon a power spike right now. Without the cost reduction Aka would have cost me 10 Mp to summon so investing 50 Mp into summoning should wield great results. Based off of the information that I got from ¡®Appraisal¡¯, fairies liked nature which is not something my dungeon is great at providing for them. Most of my dungeon is made out of stone at the moment so I really hope the get taken in by the appeal of the mushroom room. I have Aka and the goblins come over to the edge of the mushroom room so that way they can introduce themselves to the fairies after I summon them. Hopefully they aren¡¯t bothered by the fact I can¡¯t talk to them yet. ¡®Dungeon Menu!¡¯ I go to the ¡®Summon Creatures¡¯ option of the menu and look at the screen that pops up.
Fairy 25Mp ?
Fire Serpent 10Mp(-5Mp) R
Mushroom 0Mp C
Goblin 2Mp C
Now that I think of it there are other options for what to summon but it doesn¡¯t feel right to not summon the fairies after gaining the ability to do so. Actually I could have summoned monsters instead of researching the fairies if I wanted a power spike but that was then and this is now. I focus on the ¡®Summon Fairy¡¯ option and think about using the option twice. The screens in front of me disappear as I feel 50 Mp drain out of me leaving me completely out of mana. The air in front of me begins to shimmer as 2 silhouettes slowly materialize. The silhouettes begin to take on a feminine shape and two pairs of wings slowly start to grow out of each of their backs. The two pairs of wings on their backs resemble dragonfly wings. Once the summoning magic stops there are two fairies floating in the air in front of me. They both share a bewildered expression on their face as they check their surroundings. As they twirl around in the air to examine their new surroundings their dresses flutter around. One is wearing a long, black, sleeveless, dress and the other is wearing a long, white, sleeveless, dress both with long hair the same color as their dresses. There is a revealing large keyhole back of their dresses that lets their wings out so that they can use them showing their pure white skin. Surprisingly they don¡¯t seem to need to flap their wings to keep in the air like I expected. This makes me believe that they must have some proficiency in magic. I guess I should confirm how strong they are. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯

¡°Hey sis, where are we?¡± asked the one in the white dress. ¡°I think we got summoned by that core sis.¡± replied the other. ¡°Your right our souls are linked to it now.¡± Huh? Is the reason they can¡¯t leave the dungeon because of that? If I can remove that then it will make getting info about this world a lot easier. I wouldn¡¯t be able to command them so I need to make sure I can trust them. ¡°Hey sis, let¡¯s go explore the dungeon!¡± exclaims the one in white. ¡°Oh, ok I guess we will need to do it eventually.¡± replies the one in black. I was going to name them but now that I have summoned them I don¡¯t really know if I should. They seem to be quite smart compared to what I expected so since they can think on their own I think they should choose. No, it is not because I am bad at naming things. ¡°Bye bye!¡± says the one in white as they walk past the monsters while I go with them to see what they think of my dungeon. ¡°Don¡¯t you think it is odd that there are no traps in this dungeon?¡± asks the one in black. ¡°Yah this dungeon core must be an idiot. There are not traps and they only have 3 monsters.¡± comments the one in white. ¡°Isn¡¯t this dungeon kinda shity?¡± asks the one in black. That hurts. My monsters just said my dungeon was shity. ¡°Maybe we can fix it for the dungeon core.¡± suggests the one in white. ¡°They are probably too stupid to understand us. Look try appraising them, they don¡¯t even have mind magic to communicate with.¡± Damn the one in black is so mean! I¡¯m not stupid! ¡°Look they just put this empty room on the side what is this supposed to be?¡± asks the one in white. ¡°It was probably not smart enough to realize it doesn¡¯t do anything there.¡± There she goes again! ¡°Hey dungeon core if you can understand us float up and down.¡± says the white one.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. I float up and down a bit to show that I understand them. ¡°Huh, well that makes this easier.¡± says the one in black. What does she mean by makes this easier? ¡°Look stupid, you need to start summoning monsters and traps you have 10 Mp/day you should have monsters in each of these rooms to distract adventurers so that way they will not notice traps. You need to start summoning goblins it doesn¡¯t matter what level you make them because they will eventually level up from combat experience. This is a dungeon so even if they die they will revive. Just have your goblins pull adventurers into the traps and kill both them. They can understand complicated commands so you should make use of them. For now create a pitfall trap in a room with the goblins. Maybe after they fight the snake so that way the adventurers are worn out and can be killed easier.¡± What do you mean dungeon monsters revive? Where is my tutorial nobody ever told me this! Well I guess I have one now but I wish I had one earlier. ¡°Sis, the core doesn¡¯t have any Dp saved they can¡¯t.¡± says the one in white. ¡°Huh!? They don¡¯t have any saved? What did they spend it on it is not like they have anything in here.¡± Hey, that is harsh. I have Aka he is a power house. Soon he will be a legendary dragon! ¡°Hey, sis! Check out these mushrooms!¡± exclaims the one in white. The one in black just looks at the mushrooms in horror for a while before slowly turning her head towards me. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you have been spending all your Dp and Mp on mushrooms? Your not that stupid right?¡± No they cost 0 Mp I swear! ¡°While I guess it is alright since we need a rooms to live in anyways. It would have been nice if you could have made a tree.¡± says the one in black as she slowly descends onto one of the mushrooms to sit down. As she is about to fall on the mushroom it starts to expand and a small green glow can be seen radiating around the mushroom. In surprise the one in black exclaims, ¡°Sis! These mushrooms are all really close to evolving. They evolved just from my mana zone!¡± That is a new term. I¡¯ll have to ask what a mana zone is once I get the telepathy skill. Maybe it is like a magic shield that is invisible. Curious as to what is happening to the mushroom I check. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Poisonus Mushroom
What it evolved into a poisonous mushroom just from being near her? That is amazing! As expected of a fairy. As the one in white drift close to a mushroom is starts to shimmer and then after settling down is faintly glowing white. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Radiance Mushroom
This mushroom continues to glow like a torch. Take that eerie torch who needs you anyways. You cost a whole Dp! ¡°I wonder why the dungeon core never had their snake evolve these it has a dense enough magic zone to do it.¡± I didn¡¯t know! How could I? Lay off! I command Aka to leave his room and come over to the mushrooms. Stopping him just at the edge of the room I have him slowly approach one of the mushrooms. As he slithers closer one of the mushrooms suddenly has a bright red flame come off of it. Aka what are you doing? Stop burning the mushrooms I just want you to get close to it! Despite what I command Aka the mushroom doesn¡¯t stop burning to I decide to appraise it. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
Firestorm Mushroom
To think that something like this exists. Well it is a fantasy world so I don¡¯t know what I was expecting. Hopefully the gas that is around the poisonous mushroom isn¡¯t combustible because otherwise this whole room will explode. Thankfully the worst case scenario was avoided and the room did not blow up. I command Aka to go next to a few more mushrooms and they also go through the same evolution. I think this must have something to do with my title I got. ¡°Sis stay out of the room for a second I don¡¯t think your mushrooms are as good in combat.¡± says the one in black. She is even this cold to her sister! Surprisingly her sister leaves the room with a smile on her face flying above the mushrooms so she doesn¡¯t evolve them and then watches her sister in anticipation. The fairy in black begins flying around the room evolving all of the mushrooms while Aka slithers in between the mushrooms. As their paths intertwine the flames coming off of the mushrooms quickly turn to a shade of dark green color as the heat coming off of them becomes much more intense. Although Aka seems to be fine in the mushrooms the fairy in black doesn¡¯t seem to be able to stand the heat and is flying to quickly get out of the room now that is now glowing with fire. The fairy sisters leave the area but Aka stays in the mushrooms seeming to like this room much more than his previous room. Hopefully the poison coming off the mushrooms doesn¡¯t affect him. I quickly follow behind the fairy sisters not wanting to be left behind. ¡°Sis that was really cool.¡± says the fairy in white. ¡°Yep, leave it to your big sister!¡± shouts the one in black. ¡°How do we know you are older sis?¡± asks the one in white. ¡°While I was done summoning first so that means I am older.¡± says the one in black with a smug smile on her face. No I was there you were summoned at the same time. I won¡¯t spoil her fun though and tell the one in white. Not that I can anyways since I can¡¯t communicate with them yet. ¡°Now this dungeon has some proper defences I can be sure you will be safe sis.¡± says the one in black. ¡°Thank you big sis!¡± says the white one with a precious smile on her face that makes me wish I had a camera. ¡°Hey dungeon core, move your puzzle trap to be in the room with the mushrooms that way they have to be in the mushrooms to solve it.¡± demands the one in black. I have to say this fairy is full of good ideas this way I can raise my minions levels and also make it harder to get into my core room. Not sure how to move the trap I just float in place and watch the fairies hoping the will explain how to. After waiting for almost a minute the fairy in black gets impatient and shouts. ¡°Hey! Listen! Move the trap idiot!¡± ¡°Big sis it is an idiot maybe it doesn¡¯t know how to.¡± says the one in white. No not you too. Traitor! ¡°Well then I guess I will explain. Just focus on the trap and focus on a new location and as long as there are no intruders in the dungeon you can move it.¡± explains the one in black. Doing as she says, I focus on the door similar to how I select the options in the ¡®Dungeon Menu¡¯ and use ¡®Dungeon Sense¡¯ to focus on the pathway after the mushroom room and the door starts to shimmer before appearing in the mushroom room with the Rubik¡¯s Cube in the flaming mushrooms. Thankfully the Rubik¡¯s Cube is ¡°Sturdy¡± so it doesn¡¯t melt. Aka also seems to be fine with the poisonous mushrooms since they can¡¯t burn him making it impossible for the poison to enter him. I guess this means that the poison won¡¯t just spread through the air which is good since it would probably kill my goblins. I summon two new mushrooms for the fairies to sit on and the one in white turns them into ¡®Radiance Mushrooms¡¯ before the two fairies sit down on them. The one in black must have turned off her magic zone since the mushroom she sat on didn¡¯t start oozing poison or something. The two fairies seem to be ready to go to sleep which surprises me since my other dungeon monsters have never gone to sleep before.
The next morning, the fairies wake up and don¡¯t seem hungry which is good since I have no food for them if they do need to eat. After waking up the fairy in black starts off by criticizing my dungeon again and make me develop a plan which was entirely made by her. She goes over it with me many time making sure I understand my priorities as if I am some child who could not take care of themselves. The summary of her plan is like this.
  1. Make a variety of traps.
  2. Make more monsters.
  3. Expand the dungeon.
  4. Gain the mind magic skill.
  5. Evolve monsters.
She says this is the order that I should do things in but she is clearly wrong so I won¡¯t follow her plan. My plan looks like this.
  1. Gain the mind magic skill.
  2. Make a variety of traps.
  3. Make more monsters.
  4. Expand the dungeon.
  5. Evolve monsters.
After all, I need to get the mind magic skill first so that way she doesn¡¯t treat me like an idiot anymore. She is even starting to rub off on her sister who also has begun to refer to me as an idiot. I need to put a stop to this before it gets any further out of hand. Chapter 8: Muscle Man Returns It has been 5 days since I first summoned the fairies and since then all they have done is complain! ¡°How come there are no adventurers?¡± ¡°How come you have no monsters?¡± ¡°If only there was something to do.¡± I have been here with nothing to do also and I¡¯m not complaining! Not yet at least. Soon I will be. Because I have come up with a genius idea that will let me talk to the fairies without breaking their strict rules they have set down. And the way I will do this is by buying the ¡®Body Manipulation¡¯ skill. With this skill it will increase our combat power while letting me talk. Now how will I buy a 200 Mp skill you ask? Of course I will do this by increasing my max Mp. That much is obvious. I only need to add two more floors for me to have enough mana to purchase this skill assuming my Mp size doubles each time I buy it. I am not sure if it adds 25 Mp or doubles it. I actually have one more theory which is that it copies the previous floors Mp increase since it is the same size as the previous floor. Regardless of which one is correct, the fairies will be happy because I am doing one of the top priority tasks. In fact, the fairies decided nobody would be able to solve my Rubik¡¯s Cube in the mushrooms for a while and that the defence priorities should be lowered. So that means my number one priority is expansion! So I will be adding my third floor today. After getting to the ¡®Research¡¯ option of the menu I focus on the ¡®3rd Floor¡¯ option of the menu and create a third floor just like the second one. The dungeon starts shaking slightly more violently than the last time I added a floor. The goblins seem to be ok this time and are leaning on the wall so that they won¡¯t fall over. The fairies both seem surprised for a moment but then pretend that nothing happened. It seems they won¡¯t get angry at me which is good. Once the ground stops shaking the fairies and I both decide to head down to the new floor. At first glance, it is a little disappointing. It is an empty rectangle just like the second floor. In fact, it is an exact copy of the second floor. Because of this I am lead to believe that it copies the floor above it so I should be adding rooms first before adding floors. I must know though, how much has my max Mp increased by? ¡®Status!¡¯

It increased by 25! This leaves 2 options for how this works. One option is that I will get 25 more max Mp every time I add a floor. The other option which I believe to be correct, is that it copies the previous floors mana benefits. Now bask in awe at my creation fairies! The fairies don¡¯t even know how to react they are so shocked at my new floor! After nearly 20 seconds of them looking at the room the one in black finally speaks up. ¡°You really are an idiot aren¡¯t you?¡± Eh!? She is still calling me an idiot even though I followed the plan? ¡°Why didn¡¯t you add more rooms first before you added your third floor?¡± asks the black one as if it is the most obvious thing in the world. I just figured out how it works this time I needed to experiment first to know. ¡°Do you know how much it will slow down the progress of your dungeon if your first floors don¡¯t have rooms? It copies the previous floor¡¯s size you realize! It is like you get free rooms every time you spend your mana! For 50 Mp you could have increased your max Mp by adding rooms!¡± shouts the black one. Now that I think of it she is entirely correct. There was no reason to build another floor yet even if I didn¡¯t know how making floors worked. ¡°You should sit in the corner of your precious new floor and think about your mistakes idiot!¡± shouts the one in black. Maybe I really am an idiot, I¡¯ll go to the corner just don¡¯t get mad at me! ¡°Sis, it might not be smart enough to realize why what it did was wrong you shouldn¡¯t be so mean to it.¡± says the one in white. Wait no matter how we look at this I am not that stupid! ¡°You are probably right but punishment is the only way it will realize it¡¯s mistakes. It is in a book on how to raise kids.¡± replies the one in black. Ok, that is going to far I am not a kid I am 19! ¡°If you read it in the Fairy Archives than it must be true sis!¡± exclaims the one in white. What are the great Fairy Archives you might ask? I would be asking the same thing. Where did she get a book in this dungeon can probably be answered if I learn what the Fairy Archives are. ¡°Hurry up and go to the corner!¡± demands the one in black. Little does she know I can still see the whole dungeon with ¡®Dungeon Sense¡¯!
It has been a little over 5 hours since my punishment began and a situation has arisen. The muscle man is back! The idea behind moving the door back was so that my minions could increase their levels not so that they could respawn! There is no chance that we can beat someone who is over lvl 300! I think this is wear I stay in time out and let the fairies deal with the issues with their great planning abilities. Let¡¯s see what your Fairy Archive says about this! Hah! Muscle man is running at a ridiculously inhuman speed and is about to reach the area that I used ¡®Expand Domain¡¯ on.
A human has entered your dungeon or been in it for a day. +3 Dp
Well I suppose I should at least give my dungeon a fighting chance so I will use these 3 Dp to give the fairy in black exp and hope that it will help her since she has a more offensive skill set than the one in white has. Converting all 3 Dp into 15 Mp I use it to give her Exp
''Fairy'' has gained +750 Exp ''Fairy'' has reached lvl 4

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. Wow! She got a lot better! Her poison skill even reached level 3 which is higher than any of Aka¡¯s skills. What can I say, as expected of a fairy! The muscle man still has a ridiculously big sword on his back and is now entering my dungeon. Even after his sprint from the town he hasn¡¯t broke a sweat so I am not sure how I am supposed to compete with this. As he enters this first room of my dungeon the two goblins charge him from either side as fast as they can. The goblins crouch low to be smaller targets with their claws at their sides ready to push their arm forward and stab him once they get in range. As soon as they are close to him and start bringing their claws forward, the muscle man uses his ridiculous arm span to grab each goblin by their heads. Without even looking at the goblins, he casually crosses his arms and lets go of the goblins¡¯ heads as they each fly towards the wall opposite of them and become splats on the wall. The muscle man doesn¡¯t even stop walking to deal with them! They must be weaker than a fly to him! Proceeding to the next room he finds it to be completely empty, not noticing the fairies in the corner. Not finding it unusual he walks up to the next room filled with mushrooms before pausing. After about a second of consideration he walks right into the mushrooms! ¡°It is a good thing that Martin lent me his spirit I can easily solve this puzzle.¡± Oi! I don¡¯t care about the puzzle how come you are ok in the fire! Closing his eyes he starts moving the Rubik¡¯s Cube making all the correct turns on it! Aka and the fairies start to make their move while he uses some sort of meditation ability to keep him from burning in the fire. Using ¡®Healing Magic¡¯ a small line is created flowing from the fairy in white to the fairy in black. Aka quickly uses fire fang on muscle man¡¯s nose making him flinch and lose focus.
''Aka'' has dealt -8 Hp physical damage -36 magical damage
With his eyes now open, Aka uses ¡®Solar Light¡¯ to blind muscle man. Muscle man brings his hands to his eyes and shouts in his rage causing the monsters to flinch for a moment from the muscle man''s skill that he accidentally activated. Not losing the opportunity the fairy in black quickly casts ¡®Poison Magic¡¯ three times into muscle man¡¯s open mouth.

In pain, muscle man grabs his huge sword off his back and begins to blindly swing it in rage. Narrowly missing the fairy in black she barely dodges the inhumanly fast blade. Muscle man goes for a horizontal slash toward where Aka is. Nicking his blade on the wall, the tip of the word shatters flinging shrapnel at Aka while the rest of the sword follows after it. I told you the wall was sturdy! Distracted dodging the shrapnel the sword catches Aka by surprise and causes his body to bend in a ¤¯shape. Once muscle man¡¯s swing stops Aka goes flying off it with a thump as his body smashes against the wall. Aka¡¯s blood splatters off the wall getting on muscle man¡¯s sword and coats the wall in a ellipse shape because of his long body. Not losing the opportunity, the one in black uses the Mp she gained from the one in white¡¯s ¡®Healing Magic¡¯ to run up and cast ¡®Poison Magic¡¯ two more times with a ¡®Dark Magic¡¯ to make muscle man unable to see again. As one very dark green ball of poison hits the man in the left eye causing the man to shout in pain.

As his blood curdling cry begins, another ball of poison enters his now open mouth causing the man to bring his hands to his throat from the burning pain in his body.

The fairy in black now almost out of mana and the fairy in white completely drained of mana from helping the one in black cast the spells they pull back to gain some distance. Using his rage the man begins to scream as he chucks his sword across the room at the fairy in white causing her to become another stain on his sword.

The huge sword smashes against the wall causing shrapnel to fly across the room. While the shrapnel bouncing off muscle man¡¯s thick skin he doesn¡¯t even flinch as he pulls out a vile with red liquid out of his satchel. Uncorking it he brings the liquid up to his mouth. Not keen on losing her progress the fairy in black flies straight into the bottle with a loud breaking sound as the glass shard fly across the room. Wincing in pain from the fire, The muscle man buckles his legs and sprints towards the direction of the fairy, his advanced senses allowing him to easily find the fairy in the room. With each step, muscle man groans in pain from the poisonous flames.

As they near the ground, they begin to catch on fire, burning to ash before they can hit the ground. Leaning over, muscle man starts to vomit a mix a blood and poison into the green mushrooms.

Tipping his head back to consume the potion, he begins to choke on his blood and poison causing him to bring his head back down to spit it out. As he brings his head down, his conscious begins to slip away from him and his potion spills into the mushrooms while he collapses.

With this strong of a fairy I think I won¡¯t be in a dangerous situation for at least a little bit. So, before the fairy sisters wake up, I better spend all this Dp!!! Chapter 9: Getting Ready Right now I have a chance that might never come again. The fairy sisters are both dead and I have an absurd amount of Dp to spend. The possibilities are limitless. Or at least I can¡¯t count high enough. No, I¡¯m not stupid, it is just a very big number. However I don¡¯t want to have to go to the corner again because of stupidly spending my Dp so I need to only make smart decisions. Right now I have some ideas of what I want to do. I want to buy rooms and not floors because rooms are more cost efficient. I am going to need a way to talk to the fairies and prove my intelligence. I want to evolve my fairies since they are very powerful, and not a random evolution either, I want to make sure it is good. The other thing I will need to do is research new things since I will be leveling up quite a bit with the floors there should be lots of options. Outside of that I will need some trash mobs. After all it is a dungeon. There will inevitably be some large purchases during this process so I need to start by increasing my max Mp. So the big question. How do I organize all these rooms? Well I have the answer. The way I see it there are 3 good ways to do this. Option number 1, I put them in a line and make people go all of them. There is an issue that I might go though the other side of the mountain with this though so that brings me to option number two. I make a spiral of rooms so they still have to get through them all. Option 3, my personal favorite, I make a labyrinth of rooms and be a massive troll. The issue with this is if people map out the labyrinth they won¡¯t really get lost. So I just need to hope I get some awesome skill when I make my rooms that will fix this issue. Because I want to get to laugh at people when they take wrong turns. I¡¯m going with option 3. It is by far the most fun. While creating the rooms I make multiple branching paths so that the rooms grow out like a tree. When I make the next floor I will make it so only one of these paths are correct. I create a total of 12 more rooms on my third floor so I want to see the result of this. ''Status!''

Now, because I am not an idiot, I know that the next floor will give me 85 more max Mp which will give me enough to finally regain my humanity with the ¡®Body Manipulation¡¯ skill. So I use another 20 Dp to get a fourth floor. Lucky the fairies are still dead, otherwise they would be chewing me out right now since these will be very expensive in the future, but they are not here right now. After the ground is done shaking I run a quick status check. ¡®Status!¡¯

Alright great. I now have enough Mp not get my body back. Now, I use 40 Dp to gain the 200 Mp I need. Going to the ¡®Research¡¯ option of the ¡®Dungeon Menu¡¯, I select ¡®Body Manipulation¡¯. As I feel the Mp drain from my body, I start thinking about what I want my new body to be like. I know I want a humanoid body because I need to gain information about this world by infiltrating the human cities. So, the question is what kind of humanoid races are in this world? I don¡¯t want to show up as a Kitsune or something only to find out my species doesn¡¯t exist. So far the only races I know of are Human and Fairy. So, I have two safe choices. Now you might say I should chose human because fairies are extinct. But, that is just so wrong. I am not one of those people who choses human when I play an RPG. It is a fantasy world it is not like I can chose a normal race. So with my old body as the base I begin to manipulate my body so that it looks like a fairy version of my old self.
Skill ''Body Manipulation'' has changed to ''Arch Fairy Transformation''
I feel my vision retract back into my body as my body slowly expands with the faint white glow starting to disappear. Looking down I see my naked body just as I remember it. I bring my right hand up to pull my hair forward from behind my ear. After confirming that my hair is white still I have two small issues. One issue is that I am way bigger than fairies are supposed to be. I don¡¯t mean I am tall, I am probably still 142 centimeters tall, but fairies are like 15 centimeters tall. The other issue is that I am in my birthday suit! I don¡¯t actually feel that much shame because I am a dungeon core, but I still feel some! Why couldn¡¯t I have clothes like the fairies did. So my question now is, what race am I? There is only one way to find out. "Status!"

So... I have some sweet stats. I might not have as much Hp as muscle man but I am not exactly a tank. It seems my other body doesn''t share everything with my dungeon self. For now though I need to name this body. Closing my eyes, I think about the ''Name:'' section and say my name with my cute voice,This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. "Shiro!" When I reopen my eyes, the section is filled in with my name. The only other thing that makes me curious is my new title. ¡°Appraisal!¡±
Fay A creature of legends that shared knowledge with each other through the ''Fairy Archive''
"Appraisal!"
Fairy Archive A racial ability that gives all the knowledge of the dead fairies to the user.
It¡¯s a cheat! If only fairies weren¡¯t extinct then I wouldn¡¯t have to explore the towns. I seem to have about an 800 year gap of knowledge meaning fairies went extinct 800 years ago! All of my political knowledge will probably be out of date but this is still very helpful. There are three continents in this world it seems. Patria is the name of the continent I am on and is the largest of the three. It has lots of resources and is inhabited by Beastmen, Humans, Elves, Demons, and Fairies. I kinda doubt that fairies are still in that list though since they are extinct. The smallest of the three continents is now called The Land of Shadows. It is supposedly ruled by a High Lich, who enslaved all of the undead on the continent and killed all of the living beings over 2000 years ago. Since then nobody has really dared to explore the continent. The other continent know as Esilio, was originally inhabited by dragons. Around 10,000 years ago the bloodline of the Dragons became thin and Dragonoids became more common. Now, although the royal family still has pure dragon blood in them, the rest of the population is made of Dragonoids. Around 1000 years ago the Dwarves were exiled from Patria and sent too Esilio. They used to many resources in their experiments with railguns and refused to stop their research. Hold the phone! The Dwarves where researching railguns 1000 years ago!? How advanced are these Dwarves? Dwarves are a very militaristic race according to the Fairy Archives, and don¡¯t diversify much in their research so they are actually not as advanced as people in my old world in any means except weaponry. The Fairy Archives do not mention much about what happened with the Dwarves after their exile but it is known that they live in harmony with the the Dragonoids because of their mutual hate for the people of Patria not allowing them on their continent. This Fairy Archive skill is like the best! I can only think of one thing I would rather have and that would be a railgun sniper! That is definitely something I will have to pick up if I ever go to Esilio. Now I have one major issue with this world. If Dwarves and Dragons are exiled how am I supposed to meet all of the fantasy races!? If there is ever a war I know which side I will be on. I will side with the Dwarves(it¡¯s not because I want a railgun sniper I swear). Justice to the fantasy races! Thanks to the knowledge of this skill I also learned a bit about Dungeon Cores! Apparently there have been fairies who helped dungeons in the past because of their vast knowledge. Most of what I know is the same but apparently one of the legendary 100 floor dungeons (which I learned to be the limit) realized that the ¡®Dungeon Menu¡¯ skill is just a guide! You can actually research things that are not in the ¡®Research¡¯ option if you have enough knowledge about it. This is very convenient since there is one thing I need to get. Transforming back into a Core #293, I focus on cloths as I pore 100 Dp into my center. As the Dp vanishes a blue screen shows up confirming my success.
Skill ''Create'' gained Because of a surplus of Mp ''Create'' has reached lvl 10
It seems my skill is already lvl 10 from the start but I was only hoping for create clothing but I guess I really put to much Dp into it. Switching back into an Arch Fairy, I use as much Mp as I am able to, 500 Mp, to summon a white shirt, a long red skirt, underwear, and a pair of sandals. Once again using to much Mp for something I hope that these will become some op set or something. As long as they don¡¯t become cursed and I can never take them off though I will take what I can get. After a few seconds the air in front of me begins to shimmer and I put my arms out. The outfit falls into my arms and I go to inspect them. ¡°Appraisal!¡±
High Quality Small Outfit A small set of high quality daily clothes. +50 Int when equiped. This set will not get dirty.
It¡¯s amazing! Imagine if I made armor with this! Unfortunately I don¡¯t actually know enough about practical armor only fancy fantasy armor to actually create any. After dressing I have a total of 363 Int. With still 900 Mp left I begin to ponder what else I should make. I ideally would like my weapon to be drawing off of my Int stat and not off of my Str since my Str is pathetically low. I don¡¯t actually have any spells yet and I don¡¯t really want to use anymore Dp so I can¡¯t make some kind of magic focus because I won¡¯t have a way to use it. Thinking about my knowledge of weapons it is mainly about how to build guns because of a game I played where you had to assemble weapons and bullets. Replacing the gunpowder inside a bullet with concentrated mana I use 50 Mp to summon a magic .50 caliber bullet. Using 500 Mp I create an all white PGM Hecate II and insert the bullet into it. Taking aim at the sturdy wall, I shoot the sniper. After pulling the trigger, My body slides back almost a meter from the recoil. Looking back up towards the wall, there is a hole the size of a fist in the wall with no trace of the bullet left. Take that muscle man you couldn¡¯t even touch my sturdy walls! Using my last 350 Mp I summon 7 more magic infused bullets and load them into the 7-round clip. Turning the safety back on, I set the Hecate down onto the floor and start to move my wings. Surprisingly moving my wings feels somewhat natural, as if I had them my whole life. This is nice since I don¡¯t really want to have to practice flying. The tips of my feet leave the floor and I look down to find myself flying. Experimenting, I try drifting back and forth as I realize something. Like the fairy sisters, I am not actually flapping my wings and more of just float. Because of this it seems I can get up to high speed quite fast. Although I am curious if I can use this to counter the recoil of a magic sniper I am not going to test it right now. Descending back onto the floor I pick my Hecate back up and put it over my right shoulder so that it doesn¡¯t press against my wings. Trying to fly again, it seems that I can fly just fine with it on my back. Transforming back into a Dungeon Core, I skip using the research menu and look for a kind of skill or title to hide my wings. Using 10 Dp I gain a new title.
New title ''Concealed'' gained
The title automatically goes into effect and my wings disappear from sight. This title is pretty nice since it will stop people form appraising me and makes it impossible to tell that I am an Arch Fairy. All set for my adventure, I just have to wait for the fairy sisters to respawn and tell them I am heading out. Chapter 10: Adventurers Over the last two days I have been waiting for the fairy sisters to respawn. During this time I picked up ¡®Space Magic¡¯ lvl 1 for 50 Mp and I have made almost 100 rounds of magic ammo for my Hecate. I have confirmed that outside of my dungeon I don¡¯t seem to be able to transform back into a Dungeon Core. With this I have some supplies for my exploration and just need to have the fairies revive already. Waiting for another 3 days I let my Mp fill up before ¡®Aka¡¯ and the fairy sisters respawn. I have just over 200 bullets now and my ¡®Space Magic¡¯ has reached lvl 3. I can¡¯t wait to see their expression when they see my new body. Approaching them I call out to them, ¡°Hi!¡± ¡°I see you got a body manipulation skill.¡± says the one in black. ¡°Sis, she turned into an Arc Fairy.¡± notices the one in white. ¡°That is right, now let¡¯s move onto the important stuff. You two need name!¡± I exclaim. ¡°What would you call us then?¡± asks the one in black. ¡°You should choose your names, I am Shiro so that is already taken.¡± I tell them. ¡°Huh? Why would anybody want the name Shiro? Are you just going to name yourself after your hair?¡± Asks the one in black. She hurts! I think my name is very fitting. ¡°Sis, you can be Lilith!¡± says the one in white. ¡°Ok, and you can be Lucia.¡± says Lilith. ¡°Well then, it seems you two have names now so I will be heading out. Watch the house for me while I am gone.¡± ¡°Have you actually prepared?¡± asks Lilith. ¡°Of course I have a weapon and am ready to go!¡± I reply. ¡°You need to get the skill if you want to be any good with the weapon.¡± says Lilith ¡°You should get the ¡®Marksmanship¡¯ and the ¡®Farsight¡¯ skill for that weapon, and ¡®Sense Danger¡¯ is also a good skill for exploring.¡± says Lucia. Dang even with the Fairy Archive skill I didn¡¯t think of that! I need to get those. Focusing on the ¡®Marksmanship¡¯ skill I use 100 Dp like I did with the creation skill and poor it into learning the skill.
Skill ''Marksmanship'' gained Because of a surplus of Mp ''Marksmanship'' has reached lvl 10
I use another 50 Dp to get the ¡®Farsight¡¯ skill.
Skill ''Farsight'' gained Because of a surplus of Mp ''Farsight'' has reached lvl 7
Using the 106 Mp I have on hand before I leave since I won¡¯t be able to transform outside of the dungeon, I gain the ¡®Sense Danger¡¯ skill.
Skill ''Sense Danger'' gained Because of a surplus of Mp ''Sense Danger'' has reached lvl 4
Checking what I got I say, "Status!"

¡°Bye, bye!¡± I say, as I skip out of the dungeon with my Hecate on my back.This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°¡°Bye!¡±¡± Say Lucia and Lilith as I head out on my journey. I take the path that heads down the mountain towards the small village down their. No longer skipping I realize something very disappointing. Outside of my dungeon I can still get tired and hungry. I am painfully hungry right now! I wish the Dungeon Cores in the Fiary Archive weren¡¯t all a bunch of cowards who never left their dungeons! I would have known then! Although I can make simple stuff with my ¡®Create¡¯ skill, it doesn¡¯t seem that I can actually make a nice meal. I have been walking with only bread and water for a day now! I wish I had a larger endurance then I wouldn¡¯t have to sleep right now. Going over to the side of the road, I make a blanket with the ¡®Create¡¯ skill and sleep under a tree.
Still half asleep I begin to hear voices around me. ¡°What do you think she is doing out here?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know maybe she doesn¡¯t have any parents?¡± ¡°The poor thing, we should help her.¡± says a more feminine voice. My ¡®Sense Danger¡¯ skill has not been activated so I don¡¯t think they mean any harm so I will slowly get up making sure I am ready to pull out my sniper. Opening my eyes I see a caravan with an older man driving it. In front of the caravan are two men, one large man with a mace, and the other one in a cloak. Next to them are two women, both seem to be a mage of some kind. ¡°Wh-who are you all?¡± I hesitantly ask. One of the two mages steps forward and approaches me. She has long red hair that is tucked under her red robes and is about 170 centimeters tall. She has golden eyes and is huge! Is that a D cup? ¡°We are a temporary C rank adventurer party, and I am our leader Morrigan, what is you name little one?¡± ¡°I am Shiro.¡± I tell her. The other woman come up to me as well now. She is wearing a white robe and has straight blond hair tucked under it with blue eyes. She looks to be about 160 centimeters tall and is a B cup. ¡°I am Silvia, where are your parents Shiro?¡± she asks. ¡°Huh? I don¡¯t have parents, I am 19.¡± I inform her. The large man in the back snorts and then shouts, ¡°19 years old you hear that?! You hardly could pass as 12!¡± ¡°Rude! I am 19!¡± I shout back. ¡°Of course sweety.¡± says Morrigan in a voice that makes me doubt she believes me. ¡°Shiro do you want to head to the town with us? We are just finished our quest and are heading back.¡± Asks Silvia. ¡°Umm, I would like that!¡± I tell her. The old man on the caravan smiles at this and turns his back around to look down the road. Going over to the back of the caravan to get on I realize that it is to tall for me to get up. Seeing the issue Morrigan quickly gets behind me and puts her hands under my armpits and scoops me up. ¡°Eh!? I was fine I could do it myself!¡± I say not wanting to confess my issue. ¡°Of course you could have.¡± says Morrigan as she steps up onto the caravan with me. Morrigan the sits down in the caravan and puts me in her lap. ¡°Stop treating me like a kid! I can sit on the bench!¡± I scream. ¡°There is only enough room for the four of us the rest of it is for the cargo. Besides the bench is hard and will hurt you but if you sit on it for to long.¡± Says Morrigan. Looking around I realize that after sitting down there is no more room in the caravan to sit. Not wanting to lose my cushion, I keep my mouth shut. ¡°So we didn¡¯t all introduce ourselves.¡± says Silvia. The big man speaks up at this prompt and says, ¡°My name is Jacob, I am our tank.¡± The cloaked man says, ¡°Ross, rouge.¡± ¡°Right as I already said, I am Morrigan. I specialize in fire and wind magic.¡± ¡°And I am Silvia, I am the only Elf in our party. I use healing magic and nature magic.¡± OOOOH! First fantasy race met! Ah! Where are my manners I need to introduce myself. ¡°My name is Shiro, I am a marksman. I am not registered as an adventurer yet.¡± ¡°So you mean that the thing on your shoulder is a Dwarven artifact?¡± asks Silvia. ¡°Huh? No I made this myself.¡± I correct Silvia. ¡°Huh? And how did you make that?¡± asks Jacob with a voice full of doubt. ¡°I used a skill to make it.¡± I tell him. ¡°You must have a high level craftsmanship skill Shiro! That is so cool!¡± Exclaims Morrigan as she starts pinching my cheeks. This cushion might come with down sides also. ¡°So you are thinking of becoming an adventurer Shiro?¡± asks Silvia. ¡°Yes, that is correct.¡± I state. ¡°You should join our party then Shiro, after all you need a recommendation to become an adventurer at your age.¡± Says Silvia. Slightly annoyed I respond, ¡°Like I said, I am 19, but I would like to join your party if you would let me.¡± ¡°Hey why are we letting a kid into our party?¡± asks Jacob. ¡°I¡¯m not a kid! I¡¯m 19!¡± I shout back. ¡°There, there. I am sure we can get you accepted as an adventurer.¡± Says Morrigan. Somewhat annoyed I decide to ignore their comments about my age for now. ¡°Is she any good?¡± asks Ross from the corner. Scary! I forgot he was even here he blends in so well. ¡°I am great!¡± I reassure him. ¡°We have yet to see that.¡± says Jacob. ¡°Fine then I will prove it give me a target.¡± I say, accepting his challenge. ¡°Not right now you two, once we set up camp for the night we can do this.¡± says Silvia. After a long silence I decided I should keep the conversation going in an attempt to make my first friends. ¡°So what quest are you guys doing?¡± ¡°We took an escort quest and a quest to subjugate a wyvern in the forest here.¡± says Silvia. ¡°OOH! That is really cool! How do you beat a wyvern?¡± I ask. ¡°Well I use my wind magic to push it down so it lands and then Ross cuts its wings.¡± says Morrigan. They seem to have a pretty good strategy to defeat a wyvern and by the sound of it they have done it before. I hope I don¡¯t get in their way while they subjugate it. This will be a good opportunity to show off my Hecate. As the night falls we pull the caravan off into clearing on the side of the road and set up two tents separated by gender. We established a watch order for the night but for some reason I don¡¯t have to take part in it. Morrigan says that I need my sleep to grow up big and tall. I will take the chance to sleep in while they still think of me as a kid since Ross says that the identity stone at the gate will check my age, name, and if I am a criminal. Then there will be no doubt about my age. After all this body is the body of a 19 year old even if I haven¡¯t been in this world for a year. Settling down for the night, it seems that I am sleeping under the same blanket as Morrigan because they only have one for each person. I think Morrigan just wants to use me as a hug pillow but there is not much I can say about it since the blanket I was using was thrownaway because it was dirty and torn. I can¡¯t just show them my ¡®Create¡¯ skill so I will just go with the flow. I am looking forward to seeing a wyvern tomorrow. Chapter 11: Wyvern I wake up this morning to the sound of birds chirping, something I have not heard in while. The outfit I summoned with my magic doesn¡¯t get dirty easily so I throw it back on for today. Besides it would look suspicious if I got new clothes out of nowhere and I am not keen on revealing my space magic since I don¡¯t know how rare it is. Heading out of the tent, it seems everyone else has already woken up. ¡°Good morning Shiro!¡± shouts Morrigan as she waves at me from over at the caravan. ¡°Good morning Morrigan.¡± I reply while waving back. I start to head over to Morrigan when Jacob peaks his head out of the caravan and says, ¡°So the kid is finally awake?¡± in an irritated tone. ¡°Come here Shiro, I have some bread for you that you can eat on the road.¡± says Morrigan. I wonder why Morrigan treats me so well. Is she a pedophile?! Enough with the jokes, I am curious how we are going to head out with the tent still up so I ask Morrigan. ¡°What about the tent?¡± Morrigan just points behind me so I turn around to find the tent already gone. I turn my head back to Morrigan and tilt my head to the side in a confused manner. ¡°Silvia already put it away and Ross has level 1 space magic which has just enough space for our tents.¡± Silvia is fast! But I must not get distracted, this is my chance. I can figure out how common space magic is. I put my hands under my chin and use my secret technique, puppy eyes, and ask, ¡°Do most parties have someone with space magic Morrigan?¡± Morrigan hesitates for a moment from the overwhelming power of cuteness before coming back to reality. ¡°Most parties over B rank will have someone with space magic so we are lucky. Most people with high level space magic get employed by the countries instead of becoming an adventurer. Ross can¡¯t raise his over lvl 1 so the country isn¡¯t interested in recruiting him.¡± So it is not that uncommon for me to have it. I want to make sure I get into this party to get info on the world but I have no intention to share my storage since it is mine. ¡°Morrigan I have space magic too.¡± ¡°Really!? Can you show me Shiro? Try storing your bread in it.¡± I use ¡®Space Magic¡¯ on the bread that is already half eaten and then use it again to take the bread out and continue eating it. Without realizing it, I find myself back on Morrigan¡¯s lap while she is now combing my hair. ¡°That is so cool Shiro!¡± Morrigan says practically squealing. ¡°That would be nice, we don¡¯t have that much extra pace with Ross¡¯s space magic. What level is yours Shiro?¡± Asks Silvia. ¡°Mine is level 3! It is almost full though so I won¡¯t be able to take anything with me right now.¡± ¡°Oi! There is now way you have level 3 space magic!¡± shouts Jacob which makes the merchant driving the caravan jump in his seat. ¡°Jacob, she said she has level 3 space magic there is no reason for her to lie.¡± says Morrigan. ¡°She is using it to trick us into letting her into our party.¡± says Jacob. ¡°We already agreed to let her into the party Jacob, Morrigan is right.¡± says Silvia. ¡°We are almost there.¡± says Ross. ¡°Look Shiro that is the capital of Efreau, Lueur.¡± Looking towards the merchant, I see a massive, white, circular, wall surrounding the city. The city is build on a hill and has buildings all over it with a huge white castle at the peak. The buildings seem to get fancier the higher up they are so it is most likely divided by a caste system. The walls are almost 20 meters tall and are about 5 meters thick. To the right of the castle is a massive statue of a man with wings on his back holding a sword while looking over the capital. It looks to be made of bronze and reinforced by iron. It must be a religious thing and is watching over the capital. According to the Fairy Archives the Humans can call down Angels in their time of need and have done so twice in the past. The last time they did it was 1000 years ago in the fight against the dwarves. Knowing this, the statue seems a lot scarier.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°Ehehe, that is a good awestruck face Shiro.¡± says Morrigan. I can feel her breath on my cheek! To close! Could she really be a pedo lolicon!? What was with that laugh? It was kinda creepy. Morrigan seems to be back to normal now and is now standing up. She picks me up so my feet dangle before setting me down. ¡°We only need to guard the caravan up to the gate, we are going to subjugate the wyvern now. Let¡¯s meet up again after Shiro!¡± says Morrigan. ¡°Eh? No, I am coming with though.¡± ... ¡°Why are you all looking at me like a bunch of idiot? Is there something on my face?¡± I ask ¡°You aren¡¯t part of our party Shiro, you don¡¯t need to put yourself in danger.¡± says Morrigan. ¡°But you said I could join your party didn¡¯t you?¡± I ask. ¡°We did.¡± says Silvia. ¡°Then I want to see how you fight.¡± I say as I put my hands below my chin and give Morrigan puppy eyes. I even activate my ultimate move. ¡°Please big sis Morrigan.¡± I say while my eyes start to tear up. ¡°Of course you can come Shiro!¡± shouts Morrigan. It seems her defences couldn¡¯t handle such an effective attack. I will have to remember this technique. The others all seem hesitant to let me watch them subjugate the wyvern. ¡°It is fine to come with, just make sure you are in a safe location to watch from.¡± says Silvia. I think I heard Jacob sighing, but I will ignore him. ¡°I can watch from a long distance away with this.¡± I say, while pointing at my Hecate. ¡°That is good make sure the wyvern doesn¡¯t see you so you are safe.¡± says Morrigan. I want to say if you treat me as this much of a child why let me into the party, but if I do that the Jacob will start saying I shouldn¡¯t be in the party again. I guess I will just have to kill the wyvern to prove how dangerous I am.
After about an hour of walking we are now in the forest where the Wyvern was sited. The trees in this forest seem to almost move with me and face me and brush their long branches against me. I am glad it is still before noon because I definitely don¡¯t want to be stuck here at night. We occasionally meet some monsters in the forest but Jacob seems more than happy to smash them with his huge mace. Surprisingly monsters have no value of companionship so wolves won¡¯t fight as a pack. This makes it much easier to kill them since only one will try to fight us at a time. While we are walking I am getting a bit nervous about combat with normal creatures because I doubt I will always be able to snipe them so I start making a knife for self defence. I want to make it all white to match my Hecate but the question is how I want to design it. I chose to make it with an 8 inch long, one sided, straight blade. The end of the blade come into a point so that it can be used for stabbing. I put a fuller in the blade to make it weight less and make a white sheath for it. Satisfied with my design I use 500 Mp to create it. The knife drops into my hands and I draw it while putting the sheath into my space magic. ¡°Is that what you where storing in your space magic? It looks like a pretty good knife.¡± says Morrigan. Curious as to how good the knife actually is I appraise it. ¡®Appraisal!¡¯
High Quality Knife An excellent knife for combat or cooking. +50 Dex when equipped.
It is just as good as my outfit it seems. With +50 Dex I should be fine even if something tries to attack me in close quarters. Now I don¡¯t have to worry about a stray wolf attacking me. I don¡¯t think these wolves could deal enough damage to me to kill me but I would rather not get hurt in the first place. In hindsight I should have bought some sort of offensive spell instead of just a full sniper build since it will be hard to fight if they have a longer reach than my knife. Suddenly I hear a ear piercing roar as the birds start flying out of the treas in fear. A massive bird¡¯s shadow suddenly covers us and quickly vanishes. Looking up a massive green wyvern just passed over us and is turning around. It seems to have noticed us and is getting ready to swoop down and attack us. I quickly separate from the group by jumping backwards towards a tree. I put my knife away and pull out my Hecate. I put my back to the tree so that I can deal with the recoil of my gun. Flipping the cap off of my scope, I take aim at the wyvern. The wyvern starts nose diving and quickly disappears from my scope. I bring my sniper down to find the wyver at the end of his attack. His talons digging into Jacob¡¯s shoulder as he takes to the skies again. Morrigan quickly uses wind magic to pull the wyvern down and keep it from leaving. Silvia uses her nature magic to make the roots of the trees in the area come out of the ground and grapple onto the wyvern keeping it on the ground. She then quickly cacts healing magic on Jacob¡¯s shoulder as he runs in to cut off the wyvern¡¯s tail. While Jacob rushes in, Ross pulls out two daggers with his space magic and throws them into the wyvern¡¯s eyes. The wyvern opens its mouth and lets out a screech with enough force to push back Ross who is still in front of him. Not missing the opportunity, I aim into its open mouth and fire a magic bullet into it. The screech of the wyvern isn¡¯t enough to stop the high velocity bullet that is now flying at its mouth. As it enters the wyvern¡¯s mouth the bullet explodes separating its head from its neck.
''Wyvern'' has died +4,200 Exp
''Shiro'' has reached lvl 18
Jacob picks up the wyvern''s body and starts walking out of the forest. Ross uses his space magic to store the wyven''s head and tail. "Good job Shiro! I knew you would fit into our team perfectly!" Shouts Morrigan as she goes in to hug me. It looks like I will be able to infiltrate the humans town just fine now that I have their trust. Even Jacob isn''t opposed to me joining now. Chapter 12: Shiro the Chick Magnet We have been walking for about half an hour and Jacob still seems to be just fine walking around with a wyvern on his back. I kind of feel bad for lying about the space left in my space magic but Jacob won¡¯t believe my age so I have no reason to help him out. Morrigan is the only person in the group who respects me but I will put up with it to learn a bit about adventurers. Nearing the city gates everyone who is waiting in line clears a path for us. I am not sure whether they just don¡¯t want to be near the wyvern hauling macho man who always looks like he will kill you on the spot or if the group is just respected. I hope it is the latter. I have a feeling it is not though. Even the city guards don¡¯t ask for any identification from him. I think I should make my persona an angry person too. It seems very convenient. Ok, furrow my eyebrows, scowl, stand up tall and look down on everyone around me, and make fists with my hands. The looking down on people isn¡¯t working. ¡°Shiro you look so cute when you are upset! Do you want some candy to cheer up?¡± Asks Morrigan. Eh!? I looked cute? But I got candy out of the deal so maybe it isn¡¯t so bad. ¡°Yes, please Morrigan!¡± ¡°Fufufu, here you go.¡± Says Morrigan as she pulls a lollipop out of who knows where and puts it in my mouth. The gatekeepers all watch this interaction with a smile on their mouths as we walk by. They are eyeing Morrigan! ¡°Morrigan is mine!¡± I proclaim as I grab her hand while I stick my tounge out at the gatekeepers. ¡°Ara!¡± Exclaims Morrigan. Eh!? What did I just say? What was I thinking? I shouldn¡¯t feel attachment I am a dungeon core. Wait, I am an arch fairy right now not a dungeon core I guess I can. Morrigan then grabs my hand and starts running towards the adventurer guild. She doesn¡¯t seem to have much of a value of companionship for anyone but me. Poor Jacob, he deserves to carry the wyvern though. Eek! He is scowling at me now. I must have been showing what I was thinking on my face there when I stuck my tongue out. I swear it was an accident. Once we get to the adventurer guild Morrigan slams the door open and shouts, ¡°Gab! I brought a cute new recruit!¡± The burly men are all giving me looks of sympathy what is going on? The lady Morrigan referred to as Gab comes running out from behind the registration counter.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. ¡°She is so cute Morrigan! What a good find! Hi little cutie my name is Gabriella but you can call me Gab! Come right this way and we can get you registered as a junior adventurer.¡± ¡°Hold up I am 19 I want to be a real adventurer.¡± Wahhh, what is up with this doubting look I am getting from Gab. ¡°Being a junior adventurer is a good thing you won¡¯t even need to hunt monsters as a junior adventurer.¡± Says Gab. She is looking down on me! ¡°I killed the wyvern Jacob is bringing though.¡± ¡°She did Shiro is so cute, isn''t she!¡± Says Morrigan. ¡°Her name is Shiro? That is cute. It sounds like a name from your country.¡± Says Gab. Hold up what does being cute have to do with killing monsters!? My name was Japanese in my old world is there a country that speaks Japanese here? Now that I think of it I have been speaking English this whole time. Maybe other people reincarnated here before me. Or maybe they were summoned here as a hero and got everything handed to them on a silver platter. I will have to consult the all knowing, for the most part, Fairy Archives. Umm. So apparently hero summoning was pretty standard in the past. Around 1000 years ago they stopped doing it because the Dwarves couldn¡¯t build the summoning device for them anymore. Serves them right for kicking the Dwarves out. It is surprising the whole world adapted to the heros¡¯ languages though. I guess they were really important. Arriving at the counter I have to get on the tip of my toes to look over the counter. Who designed this? They must have been tall¡­ Gab puts an orb out and say, ¡°This is an appraisal orb it will tell us your name, age, and if you have a criminal record.¡± I¡¯m safe! Now they will finally believe I am 19 years old. I reach my nads up onto the edge of the table where Gab put the appraisal orb. The orb flashes white for a brief second and then goes back to being transparent. ¡°Shiro your magic color is white just like your hair!¡± Exclaims Morrigan. I guess that is cool. I guess I should check what that actually means with the Fairy Archives. The color of the magic changes how concentrated the mana in your body is. Apparently humans are normally grey, dragons are pitch black, and fairies are pure white. It is a dead give away! It is supporting to know that dragons possess no magic though. I guess I will check this with the Fairy Archive as well. There are two types of dragons apparently, Kirans and Dragons. Dragons have organs that produce different elements that they breath out and Kirans attack by concentrating their magic in their mouth and shooting it out. They are not really that different just a Dragon¡¯s power is more or less decided at birth and a Kiran¡¯s is not. ¡°Shiro! Shiro!¡± I was lost in thought. ¡°It says your age is 1 and has a weird glow so we will just put you down as 19 since it is broken.¡± Says Morrigan. Could it be displaying my age in this world? I can¡¯t say that the orb is right either since there will be a lot of issues with it being white. Now there is no way to convince them I¡¯m 19! ¡°Come on Shiro let¡¯s go clothes shopping with the money from the wyvern! Make sure you store your adventurer card in your space magic so you don¡¯t loose it ok?¡± Asks Morrigan as she hands me my adventurer card. There was no issue with the white magic color I guess. ¡°Ok.¡± I say while I put it in my space magic. ¡°Great, she agreed to go clothes shopping let¡¯s go Gab!¡± Shouts Morrigan while jumping in the air. Wait wait that wasn¡¯t what I was saying ok about! I don¡¯t want to waste my day in clothing stores I need to gather information! Morrigan and Gab both have one of my hands and have already pulled me out of the door! The adventurers are all looking at me with pity or envy now. I understand the looks of pity from earlier now. Some are looking at me with envy now. To bad boys, you aren¡¯t chick magnets like me! Chapter 13: The Quest Right now I am being dragged to an inn by Morrigan while wearing a cute dress. Thinking back on how this happened it started about 7 hours ago when I registered as an adventurer and was then promptly dragged to a clothing store. Morrigan and Gab have bought all the clothing that i have been trying on for me which is a great deal for me since I didn¡¯t have any clothing. To my surprise though after the third store we went to when they ran out of money they started buying more clothes with my money too! I mean they are for me so I feel bad not paying for them but I wanted to save some money. After spending all of my money on clothing Morrigan pointed out I didn¡¯t have enough money for an inn anymore. I wonder why. She then offered to let me share her room in the inn since she could just say I was a kid I could get a free meal too. The free meal sounds very appealing when you have no money so I decide to go with Morrigan. We soon came to the entrance of the Wizard¡¯s Tavern which Morrigan tells me won¡¯t allow adventurers in if they are to gruff or dirty so she is the only one who stays there in her group. Silvia stays at a fancy inn and the men stay at an inn called the Bear¡¯s Claw. Most people stay at the Wizard¡¯s Tavern because it is clean and people there don¡¯t get very rowdy. As we enter the tavern the lady working greets us with a smile and asks, ¡°Welcome back, would you like dinner tonight?¡± ¡°Yes, one child and one adult please.¡± Says Morrigan. I am still not happy about being treated as a child but there is no helping it since we spent all the money. The clothing that we bought took up a lot of the room in my space magic but it can¡¯t be helped since there was nowhere else to put it. The lady quickly seats us and then promptly bring out soup, bread, beer for Morrigan, and tea for me. I like tea so I am not going to complain. Besides I don¡¯t like beer anyways. I have only had it once and it tasted terrible. I tear off a piece of the bread and dip it in the soup. I take a bite of the now soup covered bread. ¡°Delicious!¡± ¡°Yes it is I will have seconds please.¡± Says Morrigan. Morrigan you finished before the waitress even finished leaving our table! Morrigan might be the type that eats more than it looks like they do. After dinner Morrigan and I went to sleep.
When I woke up Morrigan had her arm around me and had started using me as a hug pillow in her sleep. She was gripping me to tightly to get struggle free so I decided I had to wake her up. I though I slept in late in my old world but Morrigan is something else. It must already be 2:00.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. ¡°Wake up Morrigan it is late.¡± I loudly said into her ear. Morrigan luckily woke up without any further action. After stretching her arms above her head Morrigan looked back down at me. ¡°You look sad Shiro what is wrong? If you want to do something to take your mind off your parents just let me know.¡± Says Morrigan. ¡°Eh?¡± ¡°You must be scared being all on your own after your parents died. Let me know if I can do anything to help.¡± Oh right there was a setting like that. I suppose Morrigan decided that my parents must have been killed and not that I am a non human race that doesn¡¯t have parents. It would be the logic assumption. I suppose Morrigan has been being so nice to me because she was worried about me. Although I still think she got carried away with buying clothing. I may have misjudged Morrigan¡¯s character. ¡°No I am fine Morrigan. Thank you for taking care of me.¡± I reply. ¡°Ok, do you want to go to the adventurers guild to look for a quest today or do you want to explore the town?¡± Asks Morrigan. I suppose we don¡¯t have any money now so there is really only one choice. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the guild.¡± After eating a delicious free breakfast we head out to the adventurers On my way to the adventurers guild I decide to take a look at my adventurer card.
Shiro | Temporary Rank C Adventurer | 19 Years Old
¡°Hey Morrigan why does it say temporary rank c?¡± ¡°That is because I gave my recommendation as a c rank adventurer so as long as you prove that you can complete c rank requests you can start out as a c rank adventurer.¡± ¡°Cool! Let¡¯s take a c rank request then!¡± Once we got to the guild everyone was crowded around an employee who was standing on a table. ¡°Alright everyone. Recently a new dungeon has been discovered. So far there has been one adventurer death in the dungeon. Because of the adventurers rank the minimum rank needed to enter the dungeon will be C rank. Tomorrow morning there will be a party heading out to destroy the dungeon before it can become a threat to the area around it. Please sign up at the tables behind me if you are will be going.¡± The whole room suddenly gets very loud from the various reaction people have to the quest. One adventurer team heads over to the tables and begins to sign up. I hear murmurs around me, ¡°If they are going the dungeon will be gone before we even show up.¡± ¡°No point in signing up now.¡± ¡°I almost feel sorry for the dungeon.¡± They must be pretty good. If this where a RPG they either have the end game gear or the expensive cosmetics. That lady has two jagged swords that are both deep red and quite litter lay are glowing. Don¡¯t tell me that is normal. ¡°Hey Morrigan let¡¯s go to the new dungeon!¡± I need to see what other dungeons use in this modern age so I can get ideas from them. ¡°Ok but let¡¯s check with the rest of the party.¡± ¡°Hey we wanna do the quest what about you guys?¡± I ask them once we find them. ¡°What is the point those guys are going.¡± Says Jacob. ¡°Agreed.¡± Says Ross. ¡°We will be better off doing a quest where we contribute if we want any rewards.¡± States Silvia. ¡°Well then I guess it is time to separate our party then. It was nice working with you all.¡± Says Morrigan. I guess they where a temporary party. They worked so well together when they where fighting the wyvern I forgot. Wait up Morrigan you already are walking away? ¡°Wait up!¡± Morrigan signed us both up to go on the quest (since I couldn¡¯t reach the table) which was a surprise to the people around us who didn¡¯t expect anyone else to sign up. After that we left the guild and decided on what to do until tomorrow. Our schedule looks like this. First we will go to a weapon shop so I can see the cool fantasy weapons. Second we will go to the library so I can learn what happened in the black areas of the fairies memory. Third we are going to eat dinner. And fourth we are going to get supplies for the trip. Chapter 14: Exploring Town Morrigan and I are currently holding hands and are entering the weapon shop. A fantasy weapon shop! I have never been to a weapon shop on Earth even so this should be super cool. Wait hold up. There are no dwarves. Will there even be cool weapons without cool blacksmiths. I was looking forward to having a burley dwarf leaning over an anvil and telling us to wait until he was done with his weapon. Well I guess the only thing to do is go in. I reach up to the door handle and get on my tippy toes. I can just barely reach the handle but what the heck is this!? The door is heavy to pull open! Who makes these things!? ¡°Here Shiro, let me get the door.¡± ¡°No way! I got this!¡± If the door won¡¯t open I¡¯ll just force it open. I pull my hecate off my back and point it at the door from a crouching position. Right as I¡¯m about to shoot, the door swings open. A big guys comes out with a scrawny man being held in the air by his collar. ¡°Next time you try to shoplift at my store you won¡¯t be getting off so easy!¡± The big man proceeds to kick the man in his lower back while he lets go of his collar sending the man flying in a ¤¯ shape. This guy must be on par the muscle man. His form is great he must have lots of practice kicking his customers. I hope I don¡¯t be a customer that he ends up kicking. Wow he got 3 skips on the shop lifter. That is more than I could do! Not that I can lift them up in the first place. Seriously this guy is a giant he must be more than 2 meters tall. He is not a literal giant but a tall human. A giant is at least 4 meters tall according to the Fairy archives. ¡°Shiro watch where you are pointing that!¡± ¡°Eh? I wasn¡¯t actually going to shoot it Morrigan!¡± ¡°Ahem. Do you two need anything?¡± Morrigan gives me a look saying don¡¯t cause any trouble. ¡°Yes we were going to look around your shop before we took our quest.¡± Says Morrigan. ¡°Alright sorry for the trouble, the low rank adventurers try to steal higher quality gear thinking it is just a difference in equipment and not skill that separates them from the best.¡± I might be one of those skill-less people who just relies on their equipment and stats. Morrigan stop giving me the eye! I didn¡¯t do anything wrong! I definitely wouldn¡¯t have caused any trouble I was just going to open the poorly built door in a manner that suits someone of my height. Thank goodness the big man didn¡¯t notice that I was going to blow up his door. I think I would have been more trouble that a shoplifter. ¡°Come inside, my assistant will help you if you can¡¯t find what you are looking for.¡± Ooh the blacksmith doesn¡¯t deal with the customers! It¡¯s kind of like the forge obsessed dwarf. Morrigan and I enter the weapon shop. There are all sorts of swords lined across the wall but like... there is a total lack of glory swords and magical bows and stuff. The swords are well made and all but... it doesn¡¯t really have the whole fantasy vibe to it. It is all armor swords and shields. There are no wizard staffs either... I kind of wanted a wizard staff... I suppose I couldn¡¯t afford one even if there was one.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°So what did you want to do here Shiro?¡± ¡°Umm where are the cool weapons like the ones that those strong adventurers had?¡± ¡°Hahhaha! Shiro you have to custom order those with high end materials and a famous blacksmith with a max level crafting skill you can¡¯t find that stuff in a town.¡± I have a max level creation skill so I can probably make the cool fantasy weapons on my own then. I think my hecate is evidence that I can make cool weapons. Now that I think of it I need to make something otherwise I will be wasting my Mp. I am sitting on full Mp at the moment. I don¡¯t have the skills for any weapons except my hecate so I suppose I will just make more ammo. I don¡¯t want to put ammo I won¡¯t use in my storage so I need to make a better ammo. When I look up Morrigan is practically dragging me to the library. I suppose I zoned out. I make 2 bullets in my closed fist using 500 Mp each before storing them in my pocket. I can¡¯t quite take a look at them right now to appraise them since Morrigan doesn¡¯t know about my creation skill. In theory though the explosion should be 10 times bigger than the current ones. Forget the door I will take your whole weapon shop down for discriminating against short people. Fuhfuh I remind myself of a certain explosion obsessed girl right now. I can make multiple explosions a day though. Your Mp pool is nothing compared to mine! I really want to try these out now. Hopefully there are some juicy wyverns to slay in this dungeon. This time it won¡¯t just be your head I am severing. ¡°Shiro! Shiro!¡± Someone is calling my name! ¡°Eh? What!?¡± ¡°Shiro we are at the library. You are drooling here let me wipe it off for you.¡± Where did she have that napkin? I suppose I might be obsessed with explosions as well... no, no, there must be a different reason for the drool. Entering the library, Morrigan drops a coin into the box and leads me into the library. She seems to have been here before. ¡°Morrigan can I look for books on my own?¡± ¡°I guess that is fine too.¡± Did she want to read with me? It would awkward if she saw me pullout history books since the events of the last 800 years should be more or less common knowledge. I need to be vague in asking where the history books are. ¡°Hey Morrigan how are the books organized?¡± ¡°Umm let¡¯s see... that wall is alchemy books.¡± Says Morrigan as she points to the far wall. ¡°And the rest of it is all spell books.¡± Umm no history section? Or fiction? I guess books might be expensive in a fantasy world? So they only use it for magic... I guess there might be some magic books that will still cover important events so I will have it just look around. I picked a few books of the shelf so it wasn¡¯t suspicious but the only book I found was called Magical Milestones but one of the dummy books I grabbed was about gravity magic which sounds cool so I will read that one too. I totally want a zero gravity serpent boss fight in my dungeon. That just sounds too cool! The magic mile stone book is honestly just common sence for the most part. Your Mp pool increases by leveling up! There are potions that can increase your Mp pool! No kidding! It doesn¡¯t take a genius to figure that out. It is a fantasy world of course there is stat potions. Maybe my fantasy delusions are effecting my views of the world. The only interesting thing I learned was that different creatures had different concentrations of Mp. A creature with a highly concentrated Mp will have much more devastating effects casting a fireball than someone without a concentrated Mp using the same amount. Thankfully it isn¡¯t a cultivation thing I don¡¯t have the patience to do that. Gimme my cash transactions I don¡¯t wanna grind! But jokes aside the concentration of Mp varies from species to species. An example of this is dragons have a less concentrated Mp than a human does, but a Kirin has an almost entirely amp based body. A fairy has a very high concentration of Mp as well. As an Arch Fairy I must have great Mp. I guess dungeon cores have great Mp and that is why I turned into an arch fairy. The gravity magic book was all just theory but I can probably just make the skill as a dungeon core as long as I understand some of the theory. About four hours have passed and Morrigan has come to pick me up now. She brought me some bread while I was reading since I refused to move... Wait did she see what I was reading then!? What was the point of figuring this all out myself then... Regardless she didn¡¯t say anything so she must have not noticed. ¡°Here Shiro I already bought our supplies I just need you to store it in your space magic!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± After storing dried meat, potatoes, and carrots, I store the clothing and camping supplies and we are all ready to head out. I can¡¯t wait to raid this dungeon and see if I can steal any ideas from them. Chapter 15: The Dungeon Morrigan and I are walking through town and are currently about to reach the gathering point for the quest. Upon arriving I see the lady with the double swords. Now that I am no longer so focused on her swords I think I should take a look at their party. The red headed tall lady is the one with the double short swords. There is a lady in white robes with a windy staff made of an ancient looking wood. She has straight blond hair and is a bit shorter than the lady with the double swords. In between them there is a man with short blond hair and a perfectly white smile. He doesn¡¯t really seem to be wearing anything that I would call equipment and is just wearing casual clothes but then again... I am doing the same. I think this tall hottie has what is known as a harem party. Pervert. Go die. ¡°Hello there young ladies. My name is Alexander the hero of Lueur. Will you be the ones accompanying us during this quest?¡± Asks the tall man. ¡°Yes we will.¡± Says Morrigan. ¡°You ladies have no need to fear I will protect both of you during this quest!¡± Ew. Is he trying to hit on me? You already have your harem Alexander keep away from us! See? Morrigan is disturbed too! Creepy heros should go die. I will be killing him myself if the opportunity arises. I doubt a hero can survive my explosion! After getting onto the carriage and setting off a butler starts preparing tea for us. The treatment between a normal adventurer party and the hero party is amazing. He has two women clinging to him while he rides in luxury to work! This definitely beats transportation in my old world. Or at least for him... this is just awkward for Morrigan and I. At least the pastries and tea are good. Like really good. I need to have some of these later... I have the perfect strategy! I will grab two pastries at once and while I am eating one of them I will put the other one in my space magic. ¡°Shiro what are you doing?¡± Morrigan whispers in my ear. I have been caught. That doesn¡¯t mean I intend to stop though! I must save these pastries from the hands of the hero. I quickly store 6 more in my space magic and eat 4 while doing so. Fuhfuh while you where busy thanking the butler I have already stolen the goods Alexander! And your women where to busy ogling over you to notice my quick actions. Morrigan seems to find it amusing that I enjoy the pastries so much. The butler did notice but... nobody is perfect! I think he will keep his mouth shut and if he doesn¡¯t and can just act out an innocent little girl. Nobody can beat me! Maybe I am perfect?A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. Should I ask Morrigan? I already know she will say yes so there is no point in asking. ¡°Would you ladies like to go eat at the capitals fanciest restaurant instead of waiting around in this boring carriage?¡± Asks Alexander. ¡°Eh?¡± What is the guy talking about? ¡°I have teleportation magic this carriage is just to keep up appearances. We can go eat in a private room and return and nobody will ever know!¡± There is teleportation magic? That is so cool! I need to get that! I want to go back to my dungeon already I have so many things I need to get. Morrigan sends me a glance asking what I want to do. The answer is obvious. There is no guarantee that he will take us to a restaurant with his teleportation spell and even if he does I don¡¯t want to be in a private room with him where he doesn¡¯t have to keep up appearances. Pervert. ¡°Let¡¯s just stay here Morrigan.¡± ¡°Suit yourselves we will be going out to eat.¡± As he finishes his sentence he teleports off with a girl in each arm. With just the butler left in the room with us I quickly store all the pastries and tea in my space magic. According to the fairy archives it stops time so I see no reason to not. ¡°Miss, please restrain yourself a little bit more.¡± Says the butler. He can talk! I suppose I should restrain myself. I put the two pastries in my hands into space storage as well. I¡¯m properly restraining myself. I wonder if arch fairies can gain weight. I am almost made of magic with how high of a concentration my Mp is. I hope I can¡¯t gain weight. That is definitely the ultimate isekai ability. I can always grab a skill for it. I hope there is a skill like that. Letting out a big yawn a rub my eyes. This tea is getting me a little tired. I suppose it is a little late. ¡°Morrigan can I lay my head on you?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Replies Morrigan with a motherly grin. Ahh this is bliss... Morrigan¡¯s lap is so soft. I think I could fall right asleep.
Tap, tap. ¡°Morrigan. No I don¡¯t want to get up yet...¡± ¡°We are at the dungeon Shiro. You need to get up now.¡± ¡°Fine.¡± I groan as I get up. The hero party is back from their restaurant trip it seems. I quickly fix my clothing and hair before jumping off the carriage. Quite the thrill ride. Someone could hurt themselves with that big of a jump. How did I get in here? Oh that¡¯s right Morrigan picked me up. Thanks Morrigan. Now where is this dungeon... Ah there it is. The entrance is a tunnel barely big enough for two people in a mountain side next to a road... It is my dungeon!!! How did I not realize that when they said an adventurer m died in it!? At least the fairy sisters aren¡¯t here because they would start calling me stupid. I need to protect my dungeon. ¡°Do we have to do this? It looks dangerous!¡± I tell the hero party. ¡°Don¡¯t worry little one I will protect you!¡± Proclaims the hero. I don¡¯t want you to protect me I want you to leave my house! They will realize I am the dungeon core if they don¡¯t find it. I need to kill them off somehow. How do I kill someone who is so op they can where casual clothes into my dungeon without fear? I don¡¯t want to kill Morrigan either! Morrigan is nice. What do I do? No, no! Don¡¯t start strolling into the dungeon! If I keep trying to stall they will realize something is up... I guess I can always kill them with a good old explosion. I am excited just thinking about it. I have a good plan I think. One even the fairy sisters would call genius. Fuhfuh I¡¯ll make them praise my genius. ¡°Morrigan let¡¯s stay in the back so we don¡¯t get in Alex¡¯s way. I don¡¯t want to be a nuisance.¡± ¡°I-I suppose we could do that.¡± Replies Morrigan. ¡°Do not worry ladies you are not a nuisance. Stay behind me and I will not let any harm come to you.¡± Proclaims Alexander.¡± ¡°Thank you Alex!¡± As if I want you protecting me. Don¡¯t get to full of yourself I¡¯ll be the one killing you today not the other way around. Chapter 16: EXPLOSION!!! (Morrigan POV) We are currently headed into the dungeon. It is important to get rid of this dungeon. There is currently only 1 dungeon on this continent and that is the unbeatable poison dungeon that is rumored to have over 100 floors all with their own unique poisons making it impossible to build up resistance to each poison. This is combined with incredibly strong monsters has made it so nobody has been able to reach the dungeon core. Since this is a new dungeon it shouldn¡¯t be that hard but it is important to deal with it before the dungeon gets out of control. I admire Shiro for having the guts to come out here at such a young age in order to stop the dungeon. I know that she is strong but I worry about her. For that reason it is good that we are behind the hero party since they can protect us. I am also going to do my best to protect Shiro. After all Shiro is to young to be dealing with this. The other adventurers didn¡¯t even sign up when such a dangerous quest showed up that Shiro had to volunteer. Shiro already has her Dwarven artifact out I should be ready to fight too. I have to protect Shiro in her first dungeon. I start to put magic into my staff so I am ready to cast a spell. If I had a fancier staff with a magic stone I wouldn¡¯t have to do this every time and it could hold mana. Magic stones are so expensive but if I didn¡¯t buy those clothes for Shiro I probably could have gotten one... Whatever sacrifices must be made. Shiro needed clothes anyways she only had that one pair it turns out. She is wearing shorts and a T-shirt right now. She doesn¡¯t seem to like the frilly dresses we bought. I suppose they aren¡¯t quite fit for combat but she looks so cute in them. She doesn¡¯t need to be mobile with a dwarven artifact right? After all the monsters won¡¯t attack her if she is too cute! Ah I need to stop thinking about these things in a dungeon. Eh!? Where is everyone? Did they leave me behind? I need to hurry up Shiro could be in danger! Oh why didn¡¯t I learn that acceleration spell. Dang it! ¡°Shiro! I¡¯m coming don¡¯t worry!¡±
(Shiro POV) Heh heh Morrigan isn¡¯t with me anymore this will be the perfect time to attack without her being in danger. My plan is a sure success. I just need to wait for them to get to the mushroom room. On the way the adventurers killed the goblins with their aura... Like literally the goblins where dead before we got into the room. Aren¡¯t these guys a little to op?This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. I mean, I¡¯ll admit my goblins are just trash mobs but... will a Zerg rush work if everything dies before it gets to them? I might have to shelve that idea for now. As we kept walking they also killed Aka. Good job Aka you only died to their aura when they¡¯re where in the same room as you. I¡¯m having my doubts as to whether I can beat them. Will my mushrooms just wither up and die near these people? They are like some incarnation of death or something. They are now entering my mushroom room. I quickly load one of my new explosive bullets that cost 500 Mp to create. I am ready to witness a 10 times bigger explosion. Not even sturdy walls can hold up to this fufufu. The hero party enters the poisonous room as if it is nothing. As you would expect they are over confident. All though the fairies sisters and the mushrooms and already dead... I aim at the ceiling and shoot two rounds into the ceiling. Hahaha what a magnificent explosion. I can feel the wind from the explosion on the other side of the dungeon. The lady with the dual swords grabbed the hero by the waist and jumped farther into the mushroom room. The lady in the white robes wasn¡¯t quite as fast and was squashed under the weight of the sturdy ruble. I guess you could say I put the dead in dead end. I blew up the sturdy ceiling. Achievement get! This dual sword lady is fearsome though. She eliminated her competition for the hero in one go. She should thank me. Although she is dying in a poison filled room. They lost their healer after all there isn¡¯t much they c and I in a poison filled room. I change back to a dungeon core so that I can use ¡®Dungeon Sense¡¯. Eh? They are gone? I got a lot of Dp though but they shouldn¡¯t all be dead already... and there is no corpse... No way! The hero teleported away!? Why didn¡¯t I think of that!? Well at least the fairy sisters didn¡¯t see anything so they can¡¯t make fun of me for being stupid. My plan was pretty good if I do say so myself. I am smarter than the average bear. At least by a bit... Anyways 1/3 of the hero party isn¡¯t a bad score count. I will have to make better defenses by the time they come back since I won¡¯t be able to surprise them this time. Before that I need to go play innocent to Morrigan! I quickly turn back into an arch fairy and turn around to be met by none other than Morrigan!
(Morrigan POV) What the heck!? She just shot them and then turned into a dungeon core!? What is happening!? ¡°Ouch!¡± She bounces off of me and lands on her but right after she turned around. She also has cute little wings sticking out of her back. I bet those would look good with that one dress I bought her. Ah that isn¡¯t important right now. ¡°Shiro? What is going on?¡± ¡°Eh? You saw that Morrigan?¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± I say as I nod. Shiro¡¯s thinking face is so cute. She must be wondering how to explain this. I kinda do need an explanation her being cute isn¡¯t enough right now. ¡°Well you see... I am a dungeon core and this is my dungeon.¡± ¡°Ah I see it all makes sense now. Care to finish explaining?¡± ¡°Well you see... I have a skill that lets me transform. So I decided to learn more about the world with it. Ah wait I won¡¯t hurt you Morrigan! You fed me and where really nice. You should stay with me!¡± Well at least I don¡¯t have to worry about her attacking me. To think a piece of bread just bought my life. I don¡¯t see any reason to refuse since I don¡¯t have a party to go adventuring with anymore... ¡°Ok and where would we be staying?¡± ¡°Eh... umm I¡¯ll get to that later. There isn¡¯t a place to stay right now.¡± Ah I see she didn¡¯t think this through. Why did I think she would have. ¡°For now let me give you a tour of my dungeon!¡± This went a little fast. I think I missed something. Eh whatever. From the rooms I have seen so far it is just a bunch of empty rooms... I might need to help Shiro with making her dungeon difficult as well as help with making somewhere to live. Honestly did she just leave as soon as she had a human body? UPDATE I''m back and better than ever. I have a new typing app that doesn''t auto correct shiro to shit! It also allows me do the slide typing thing! Unfortunately it can''t fix my writing skills. So with school a job and the all important mmo grind I''m kinda busy but I''m gonna write in my commute time and stuff. I don''t remember how to make the blue boxes and stuff well and exactly where I was in my story. I reread it but I might still make mistake that I didn''t used to. What do you mean that''s nothing new? Well I hope you continue to enjoy my terrible writing and tell me what to fix. Look forward to a new chapter!! (Finally)A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. Chapter 17: Im gonna be op one day. Yay! Morrigan is going to love my dungeon! I bet I got enough Dp from the robed lady to build a nice room for Morrigan too! I¡¯m going to make Morrigan love it here! ¡°Come on Morrigan let¡¯s go to the start!¡± ¡°We have already gone there haven¡¯t we?¡± ¡°I mean yah but the other floors aren¡¯t very different... Oh I have a puzzle though! Do you want to see it?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Morrigan is smiling she must like puzzles. ¡°Here it is just behind these rocks.¡± ¡°Right...¡± Umm this is an issue. I hope there is a skill for this. ¡°O-one second I got this.¡± I quickly turn back into a dungeon core and think about absorbing the rocks. They disappeared! Keikaku doori. I feel like I gained DP for absorbing the rocks but no messages showed up. Maybe it''s because Morrigan is here? But I can even get Dp for cleaning up my mess! Eh wait I don¡¯t need a reward for cleaning I am an adult! I can do that kind of thing normally! Why do I need to reassure even myself that I am an adult now!? I switch back into an arch fairy without bothering to hide my wings. Eheheh I am going to need to make messes more often. ¡°Hey Shiro. Why do you have wings now?¡± ¡°Oh I¡¯m an arch fairy I just have a skill that hides my wings.¡± ¡°Ehhhh!? Like the mythical arch fairy!? The one that ruled over the fairies for 600 years!?¡± ¡°N-no that is a different person.¡± What the heck Morrigan is kinda scary when it come to rare fantasy creatures!? She is examining me!? ¡°Ahh! No don¡¯t touch my wings there!¡± She¡¯s not stopping! ¡°M-orrig-an shtop ii-iit!¡± No way I¡¯m crying now. At least she finally stopped.A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. ¡°Then let¡¯s get down to the questions. How many fairies are there left? I saw the two over there that just died!¡± ¡°Ah ah ah. I don¡¯t know! I just summoned them with magic!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t just summon them out of thin air where did they live before hand!?¡± I never even thought of that. ¡°I don¡¯t know Morrigan! Ask them!¡± ¡°They are dead Shiro. It doesn¡¯t take an expert to tell you that.¡± ¡°They will respawn.¡± ¡°Respawn?¡± Oh right they don¡¯t know what that means in this world. ¡°They will revive after a while. Ask them.¡± "Oh I see. I''ve never been in a dungeon before no wonder they are so hard to clear." "Yes my minion are the best!" I shout while making a guts pose. "Do you have any more?" "Well no... That was all of them." ... "Well let''s make a room for us to live in!" "Just one? A lot of these are empty though." She noticed! What was my reason for all these empty rooms again. Ugh I can''t think of it. I made them to increase my maximum Mana so I could get a human form... Wait aren''t I still a noob dungeon that''s needlessly big!? "Of course we will have more than one room. I made so many empty rooms in preparation for you moving in here."
(Morrigan POV) She doesn''t realize how big of a deal a new dungeon is. She needs to take her dungeon now seriously or she is going to die. Her only power is her gun her dungeon is absolutely useless. She going to need to seriously work on her dungeon if she is going to have a chance. I don''t exactly know how dungeons work but she should be able to level up whenever she kills am adventurer. With the adventurer she just killed she should be able too easily summon some strong monsters for her dungeon. In the ancient dungeon book I read it spoke of some of the hardest dungeons to concert of all time. That all revolved around fast enemies, traps, and status effects. Shiro doesn''t really have any of these. She had that room of fire but... anyone can run through that. "Hey Shiro." "Yeah what''s up?" "What level are your minions skills?" "Fuefuefue... The highest level skills among my minions is 6!!" She says while striking a pose covering part of her face with her hand so that her eye isn''t covered. "What''s the ability?" "Poison magic! An essential for any dungeon!" "Just basic poison magic?" "You can upgrade skills?" "Yah." Shiro collapses to the ground with her legs on a v shape (if you look up ¤Ú¤¿¤ó×ù¤ê it should come up I wasn''t sure how to describe it). "Most dungeons use at least advanced poison otherwise adventurers can build up a resistance to it easily." "How... How do I upgrade my skills!?" She''s almost tearing up. She''s so clueless, how did she survive until now? Maybe I should tease her a bit. "You just have to say upgrade and then the skill name once a skill is level 10." Shiro made a loud gasp. "It''s that easy!" "Marksmanship, upgrade!" She shouts while punching her first in the air. "Pfft. Hahaha! It''s not that easy Shiro." I need to stop laughing at her she is so gullible. She''s putting now. "You either upgrade a skill by using it a lot or by using a skill scroll of the next tier." "What tiers are there?" "The tiers go basic, common, uncommon, rare...
(Shiro POV) No way. There is no way. They are the same as my minions and I never noticed. Where was the tutorial for this game!? I''m definitely gonna leave a bad review after I beat this game. At least my pure mana made up for my low level skills until now. Or even let me beat a hero so imagine how powerful I will be with higher tier skills. Interrupting Morrigans lecture I ask, "What tier where the heros'' skills?" "Huh? Oh I think they had a few low level rare skills but those heros''just bought skill scrolls and level scrolls with their families'' money. They are all nobels so nobody wants to offend them but as adventurers they don''t really have any skill. The mage is the king''s son. The two girls both became adventurers to win his favor. The king appointed him to be the hero after buying all the level scrolls on the market for him..." Ouch! My pride thinking I killed someone strong. I wish I was reincarnated as a noble it would make this so much easier. But I guess they where still worth quite a bit of DP. Now. To dungeon building. Oh and a room... Morrigan probably wants one of those.
